Chasing Liberty

Nick Fury slouched in his black leather chair, tired and mentally exhausted from all that had just happened. The Avengers Initiative had proven to be a good idea. The six heroes — a man in an iron suit, a giant green monster, an ex-assassin, an archer, a demi-god, and a 90-year-old man with the body of a 23-year-old, had saved the world from complete and total destruction and the wrath of a lunatic. Their victory hadn't come easy, though. They had lost a some good people, people like Agent Phil Coulson. There were even times where they thought that they didn't stand much of a chance.

However, they had done it. They had beaten the odds and kicked some alien and demi-god ass. They were indeed the Earth's mightiest heroes. And for some reason... Nick felt that something would happen again. He didn't know what or who, but he had a gut feeling that it would be soon.

Perhaps it was time to add something new to the team... or, better yet, someone. Who, though? That was the biggest question.

Maybe it's time to visit old Professor X...
