UN
As he had predicted, talk about Accords started to make a bigger appearance after a few months since Avengers only had Stark Industries sponsoring them. So the moment Tony heard about Accords making a bigger appearance, and that General Ross was being involved, he sent the evidence he had compiled on his illegal arms deals and experimentations to UN. It went just the way Tony wanted and in two days time Ross was stripped off his titles and was sent to prison with a five lifetimes sentence.
Tony was getting ready to pull some strings to get into the proceedings of Accords from inside when he got a email. From UN. Asking his advise on the matter of Accords since Ross had been technically their advisor. So imagine Tony’s surprise when he not only got that email, but a call from the President of the UN Accords council. He had of coursed agreed to assist them. After that call he called his lawyers to let them know of the new situation and they all suited up to fly to Geneva. Where Accords council had agreed to meet until a permanent location could be agreed upon.
On the day Accords council gathered Tony met his lawyers at the hotel they were staying. They finalized the plan they had made, well Tony had made it and lawyers made sure it worked and was legit. After that they departed the hotel and when they arrived at the conference hall, all the UN members were already there.
“Dr. Stark! It is really a pleasure to meet you and I have to thank you for coming here on our request.” President of the council Dr. Laurent, a French man who was a renowned Neurologist welcomed Tony as he entered the room with his lawyers in tow.
“Your Excellency, it’s an honor to be here. And it was not a problem.” Tony said and gave his mega watt smile which seemed to please the council members.
“Please Dr. Stark, we can put the formalities behind us. As we are the ones who need your advice.” Chinese representative, Xiawu Yin said with a smile. Tony nodded and took the seat that was in front of the room. It was placed strategically so he can see all the council members and everyone else can see him too.
“Of course. Dr. Yin. Now if I may ask, what is it that you needed my expertise.”
“You may Dr. Stark. To begin with, now that SHIELD is gone, Avengers have been becoming a too much of a wild card. Last month Rugo had received the notice that Captain Rogers entered their air space in a quinjet with former Agent Romanoff and U.S VA Sam Wilson.” Dr. Laurent said and Tony’s eye brow rose up to meet his hair line hearing that.
“They did, didn’t they?” Tony asked rhetorically and frowned.
“I’m sorry I had no idea that they were going on missions. I was not informed of this.”
“Yes, we believe you Dr. Stark and we trust you to let us know before you enter out air space and even if you don’t we trust you to do that because of some kind of a fair reason. But the others? Not so much.” Mr. Rugo, Russian representative said and others nodded along. Tony had to stop himself from showing his surprise at that. UN trusted Him. Him. Tony Stark. Most importantly it was the Russian guy that said that. Wow! How much had changed from the original time? But it doesn’t matter, because the council was right where he wanted.
“Well if you trust me, then I hope I can trust you as well?” Tony asked and let his magic discreetly flow around making sure no one lied.
“I assure you, Dr. Stark, you can.” Dr. Yin said and others nodded and Tony relaxed as no deception was caught.
“Then, I know that you guys want a set of rules for Avengers and I’ve been ready for this. But there is another reason for me to make sure all the superheroes around will be on our side.
Because two years ago when Chitaury attacked and I took that nuke through that worm whole? I saw something bigger. It was not attacking. No, it was watching. It was waiting. I’m sure that that attack back in 2012? It was just the opening act~” Tony paused here to look at the council. They were listening him like they were in a trance and he realized that his magic was keeping them attentive to his words.
“~And what or whoever that was watching, will come again. We made them think that we are ready. The moment Avengers assembled to fight Loki, we sent the message out there that we are ready. Everyone out there thought that our Earth was irrelevant, but with that fight, we showed them that we could be a threat. But in reality? We are not. We just won because that worm hole was small and it was concentrated to New York. But when they figure out to make a bigger portal? When they open them all over the world? Six people will not be enough.
There is so much outside there. Thor and Loki proved that. And we have to be ready when they finally come looking for us. I don’t know what you will suggest we do, but I will promise you I will be ready, My lawyers, even though they are just humans without any powers will be ready and all of my employees at SI will be ready. ” Tony who had stood up at that moment slammed his fist on the table that snapped everyone out of their trance.
Whole Accords council stared at the man who radiated power in wonder. His words had hit them home. They suddenly realized that they were just a small irrelevant planet in a galaxy that had millions of worlds. And Tony’s words made so much sense. He had been the man who had flown a nuke through that portal. He had been the man who had seen what was outside.
Tony’s lawyers were impressed. They had seen their boss working the crowd and captivating the audience by his mere words, but this? This was a clear power play. He showed who had the most power. And that sentence about them being ready with him to deal with anything that came their way? It sure moved the cold hearts of lawyers.
Suddenly a slow clapping started and soon it escalated. At the end everyone was clapping and Tony just stood there stunned as everyone applauded. As the claps died away Dr. Laurent stood up from his seat and cleared his throat.
“Dr. Stark? I want to be ready.”
Tony smirked and had his lawyers pass the document they had been working on for the past eight months. Each and every Accords council member got one and they started to read through. UN was impressed by the Accords they had presented. Not a single person could point out a weakness in them. After everyone had read it, Dr. Yin leaned forward.
“So we will have to appoint a panel to oversee the Avengers, don’t we?”
“Why not a whole organization?” Tony smirked as he sat down again.
“Organization? Like SHIELD?” Mr. Rugo asked looking uncertain. Which was fair, since the it had been filled HYDRA.
“Yes, but under UN. It would be a organization funded by the United Nations. It will be a organization that not only oversee the Avengers, but a organization that keeps an eye on extraterrestrial threats to the Earth.” Tony said and he can see Mr. Rugo’s mind working.
“Everybody who agree to that say Aye.”
“Aye” Nearly every one of the council members agreed. Tony was stunned speechless for few seconds which was enough for the UN to smirk seeing The Tony Stark speechless. He had not expected it to be accepted much less in the first meeting so he did the only thing he could do and thanked the UN. They were a little disheartened when he declined the offer to be the leader of the Avengers saying he had enough responsibilities. They conceded when he said that he would be available to answer to Assemble calls and asked for permission to work independently without having to get permission from the UN. Of course UN granted permission because, he was Tony Stark. Someone that had power all over the world and no one wanted to have him as a enemy. Even Russia. And they were a country that hated anything American.
Then Tony proceed to explain how the organization would work.
“Organization will be divided into different divisions for different tasks. I’m sure Stark Industries employees that have experience in these fields will be happy to be agents for this organization. And as this is not a spy organization like SHIELD was, we will not have to hide it from the public. I think public will be more inclined to accept a organization that is under UN and in the open rather than a one that hides in the shadows.
There will be a division that monitor any suspicious activity of any organization that threaten the safety of people, villain activity and such. If there is a villain or anything that threaten the safety of civilians that doesn’t involve any political situations between two or more countries, that need to be taken down they will be sending a assemble message to the Avengers as well as to the UN representative of the country informing about the threat and asking for permission to enter the country.
If the representative is unavailable, it will be redirected to a appointed person by the said representative, who will then give the green light or the red light. Representatives have five minutes each to response and if the team is not given any kind of affirmation that they can enter the country, the field leader of the team can decide to proceed with the mission or not.
If they do they will have to justify the reason why. Same if the team was not given permission but still choose to proceed. And they should have a valid reason like the situation that can potentially endanger the safety of the planet in the long run.
Then there also will be another team with combat trained agents for civilian evacuation and a medical team for any civilian that need medical attention.” Tony explained and the UN was impressed. Now they understood how this man made a multi-million dollar company into a multi-billion one.
“That is very well thought Dr. Stark I believe there’s no doubt about the way the organization work.” Dr. Yin said and looked around to see everyone shaking their head in a negative.
“Thank you Dr. Yin. But I did not make any plans for damage that can cause by the opposing force or the damage that can be caused by Avengers during the fight. Avengers can reduce the property damage but it is not possible to have zero percent damage during a fight.” Tony said as it was true. No one can fight super villains without any property damage. Ignoring collateral damage was not the answer though, Like Steve had done. They had to take the responsibility to that.
UN members talked about themselves about it and everyone had to agree that it was fair that damage can occur during a fight.
“We understand what you mean Dr. Stark. I think the damage control can be done by United Nation funding. We all agreed to have the organization under UN. So all the countries will be funding it. There will be a limit and if the cost of damage is more than that, the amount should be divided equally among the team. ” Sokovian representative said and others agreed as it was reasonable. It was fair and it wouldn’t be fair if they have the team bear all the cost or have Tony pay as he had been doing for the other team.
And after that, Tony himself signed the accords in front of the UN as the first accord signee. UN clapped as their first official Accords meeting came to a successful ending. Everyone shook hands as they congratulated each other on the success and Tony manage to leave early from the after party or get together they had planned.
After that Tony left the building satisfied with the things had gone. At this rate everything would be over and settled by the new year. He sent his two lawyers back to the hotel and teleported back to the Tower as he had to get ready for the mighty task of tackling his teammates. Specially Rogers.
