Nick Fury watches impassively with his one good eye as Stark leads the way with his suit while the others follow in a jet. He smirks in success. "They found him." He turns to his assistant. "Hill, get communications back up. I want to know everything." Hill nods and starts to turn. "Right away sir." "Oh and Hill?" he adds. "Yes?" she replies. He turns and gives her a steely glare. "Get Beta Team ready to go as well." She smiles and nods. "I was wondering when you'd make them public." -------------------------- "So now you know. The Avengers are already there or on the way. Now that Loki is ready and his army is coming and soon...we'd like to unveil our other team as well." Hill says to the individual before her. He simply frowns. "Team? Not teams?" Hill smiles. "At this time, we'd still like to keep a card or two up our sleeves before something...someone forces our hand." He sighs. "SHIELD never changes...does it?" Hill shrugs. "We have, a fair amount. Before Coulson and Stark met...well we haven't before done anything as risky as the Avengers Initiative." He nods. "True...however, that's only because you had to. Just like Phase-2, I reckon." Hill gapes in shock. "How did you..." "You have your weapons, I have my methods. We play with the toys we're given." he replies. "Now, enough conversation. I better get over there." he says before flying off in a flash of light. Hill nods in agreement as she watches him fade from sight. "Right." she says to no one in particular. "Good luck." -------------------- He arrives, just in time. From a distance, he watches as Tony fires upon the approaching figures above Stark Tower, lighting a fair amount up. Still, even from this distance he can see it's not enough as they start to spread out and strafe the surrounding areas. "Time to help." he remarks before increasing speed. Soon enough, he's close enough and blasts a few of the assailants with energy beams, before slowing down and tackles one into the ground. He quickly jumps up and punches another into a nearby car, kicks two others into unconsciousness with a quick roundhouse and turns and blasts the last one before rocketing off. "Alright, fourth street's clear." "Beta Lead, you hear me?" Fury's voice crackles into his ear piece. "Loud and clear." he replies. "Good. The rest of the Avengers have arrived to help out Stark." Fury says. He glances off to the side, watching lightning bolts fry a lot of the bastards. "No kidding." "Also...the rest of Beta team is getting briefed and will be on the way soon." Fury notes. "Don't hurry them on my account, its not like the city is in danger." he remarks. "Just do what you can." Fury replies. -------------------- Fury and Hill stand before the fresh-faced Beta Team members, each of them eager and willing to serve. He stares at each of them in turn...knowing that some may not return from this battle...but wishes they all could. "Alright, listen up. The Avengers are already in Manhattan, fighting against Loki and his army of aliens...the Chitauri. We don't know where they're from and it doesn't really matter right now. What does matter is that they are currently obliterating Manhattan, despite the Avengers best efforts." Fury states. "Which is why you are all here. We need all the help that we can get. Now, your team leader is already on-site. You are to meet up with him ASAP." A picture of him flashes up on screen. "He's not the perfect leader...but he is a space cop and has experience dealing with aliens. Moreover, in terms of power he's a cross between Iron Man and Thor in certain aspects...which are all good reasons he's team lead." Fury remarks. "Now, go and do your duty. Good luck. Dismissed." Fury barks as an order. The various members of the team head out to the hangar, some more reluctantly then others but all the same, they go. Clambering aboard, the two red shirt SHIELD pilots close the opening hatch and take off. Setting a course for Manhattan, the pilots glance at the unsavory group and wonder about them, before returning sight to the wide open sky before them.
