"It feels really great. With them watching over us. It's great, we got the Avengers protecting us…"
"I don't exactly feel safe with those things out there…"
"… it just feels there is a lot they're not telling us."
"Tough questions are being asked. With their sudden appearance and equally sudden disappearance…."
"So what if this was somehow their fault?" A waitress on the TV asked. "Captain America saved my life. Wherever he is, wherever any of them are… I would just… I would just want to say thank you."
Nick Fury hit a button muting the new reports, and looked up at the five monitors of the World Security Council. He had a smug look on his face as he eyed his superiors.
"Where are the Avengers?" Gideon Malick asked.
"I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence." Fury replied, trying hard not to let his smugness get the best of him.
"And the Tesseract?" Councilwoman Hawley asked.
"The Tesseract is where it belongs: out of our reach." Fury replied.
"That's not your call," Gideon Malick interjected angrily as he tried hard not to lash out at Fury for losing such an important weapon.
"I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with a god that did."
"So you let him take it, and the War Criminal Loki who should be answering for his crimes?" Gideon Malick continued.
"Oh, I'm sure he's going to be," Fury said, the smug look staying on his face. "Speaking of crimes, we have to discuss yours." Fury said as that smug look just increased.
"We committed no crimes," Councilwoman Hawley remarked in a cold voice.
"Yes, you did. You ordered a nuclear strike on Manhattan. In doing so, you tried to kill the Crown Prince of Asgard. For this, Thor will accept no less than your resignation," Fury replied.
"Our resignation?" Gideon Malick repeated in a worried tone.
"Unless you want war with Asgard. The next time Thor comes to Earth, it could be with an army at his back," Nick Fury elaborated.
"That discussion can be tabled for another time. What of the Sorcerer?" Councilwoman Hawley asked.
"He has disappeared." Fury reported.
"Define 'disappeared' Director," Gideon Malick demanded.
"I mean, he's nowhere to be found. He told the team he would be forced into hiding once more since the world was aware he could do magic. I also think after six hundred years of witch hunts, he has every right to be afraid," Fury stated.
"That is not our intent," Gideon Malick protested.
"He doesn't see it that way. He doesn't trust easily either. Makes me wonder who got more trust issues. Me, or him. It's why I'm going to give him room to breathe. Not put any pressure on him and keep other interesting parties off him for a while," Fury continued.
"I don't think you fully understand what you're doing Director Fury. What you've started, letting the Avengers loose on the world. They're dangerous. They cannot be contained," Councilwoman Hawley warned.
"That's the idea. They're dangerous, and the whole world knows it. Every world now knows it." Nick Fury said in a bold tone.
"Was that the point of all this? A statement?" Gideon Malick asked.
"A promise." Nick Fury replied as he turned off the monitors and walked away.
