Director Fury

"Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on." Tracked Tack: directorfuryous ((Indie RP blog for MCU Nick Fury. Please read "Protocol" before interacting.)) This is not a spoiler free blog.

Nick sat in the corner booth of the small dinner. He wore a pair of sunglasses, a warn jacket and jeans. To anyone looking at him, he played the part of out of town visiter well. The spy looked out of place, but in the best way possible. No one really fits in at a dinner out in the middle of a long stretch of highway--everyone's always a traveler. And Nick was keeping his eye out for one traveler in particular.

The minute he walked in, Nick immediately made eye contact, raising an eyebrow to keep the man from starting the conversation before he entered the booth.

"It's been a while since we've met at this gem. How's the afterlife treating you, kid?"

     “ Alien DNA, Nick? You stuck me with some blue guys blood to bring me back to this? The world as we know it falling down around us? ” He shook his head, pacing through the comms room on the Bus. “ How long? How long did you suspect that Hydra had infiltrated SHIELD? And when the hell were you going to tell me? ”

     Coulson wasn’t honestly sure he wanted to know the answers to any of these questions, but they kept spilling from his tongue, flowing as easily as Fury’s lies had (in Phil’s mind). “ And——seriously? Setting up a team to keep an eye on me, re-brainwash me if needed? I’m not even going to get into how completely screwed up that is——faking a reason for a guy like me to live. How much of my life is a lie from that machine? Do I even know a cellist named Audrey? I mean, what the hell? ”

He let Phil talk without interruption, listening carefully to every question he asked, knowing they were coming but necessarily having an answer to all of them. Once Coulson had finished, Nick drew in a deep breath and began with the least personal topics first.

"A little over a year ago I stumbled across and op that was completely out of place. It was big enough that it would've had to gone through me, but it didn't--despite the fact that I had apparently signed it off. So I started digging. Discrepancies in funds, development, research. But nothing ever got me anywhere. I always ended up at the beginning. I had to find another way in. 

"I asked Sitwell to fall in with certain agents, tell me anything he was able to find out. And when I finally got my answers, I asked him to buy in. Of course, like every intelligence agency, no one agent knows everything. I still had no idea what HYDRA was up to till a last week.

"But above all of this, I needed something else. I needed someone who, given the right push, would go off the books, go off protocol and continue to up hold SHIELD till the very end."

Nick looked at his friend seriously, "I asked May to keep an eye on you because I needed to keep my distance. I asked her to keep everything contained because I wasn't sure how long SHIELD would be here to back you up. The only part of your memory that's not real was that island paradise I never wanted you to forget."

So long as Mr. Barnes isn’t invited.

[He laughs quietly before pressing on to more serious matters.]

Jokes aside, did you need me for something? I know you wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important.

[directorfuryous]

From all that I've been able to gather, you and your team know about SHIELD's internal affairs. 

[ He pausing to gage Phil's reaction, ensure that the two of them are on the same page. ]

Your little team is exactly what I need. I gave that plane to you for more than just a consolation prize.

The worst thing you could do right now is to underestimate Hydra. They hide in plain sight. They earn our trust, our sympathy. They make us like them. And when you hesitate, they strike.

Nice to know you’re not dead either. Think we should start a club?

Alternate our meetings...one meeting at my grave and the next at yours?

     Phil watched the transmission once, then twice, then turned to the team.

     “ Do as he says then trace the message as far as we can. Protocols be damned. ”

[directorfuryous]

A smirk formed on Nick's face when he received word of a security breach, knowing exactly who it was from.

"Trace it, get me a direct line to them. I think it's time I had a good talk with Agent Coulson."

Nick leaned back in his seat and waited for his vid comm to link up, showing Phil and his team. 

"If you don't mind, I'd like to have a minute alone," he said, waiting for the team to leave before speaking again. "Let's hear. Get it all out in the open, Cheese. I know you're just bursting to hang me out to dry."

Post- Cap 2 Mainverse

I'm going to type up a formal thing later, but here's the run down:

Secret Warriors

Secret Warriors

SECRET WARRIORS

SECRET WARRIORS

In other words, Fury goes underground, gathers up all the SHIELD agents who aren't HYDRA and forms his Secret Warriors/Howling Commandos. Nick doesn't go down without a fight, and he has enough loyal followers who won't go down either.

[[No but can we talk about this moment for one goddamn minute in combination with Avengers where, after Phil’s death, he says “I lost my one good eye”

Because in this scene, the one we see in this gifset right now, this is right after he’s told Tony that Coulson’s going to be keeping watch over him.

So, like, every time I see this scene, every goddamn time without fail, when Fury says “I got my eye on you,” I can’t fucking help but whisper, with tears streaming down my cheeks and my Phil Coulson teddy bear hugged tight to my sobbing chest, “his one good eye.”]]

[The EXACT same thing hit me when I saw the gif set before I even saw your comment… and I knew what it was about… I knew… and it still hurt. I hate you.]

Samuel L. Jackson on Nick Fury’s relationship with Black Widow in Captain America: The Winter Soldier: 

And when I talk to Natasha, it’s as a father figure because he loves her in a way that he doesn’t love anybody else as part of that whole group of people. The fact that they’re both members of this shadow world and he knows her past in a way that no one else knows it, there’s an affection and a respect there and a knowledge of that kind of person she is in there. Even if she loves him, if she had to kill him, she would, and he understands that. There’s a way of dealing with her that he can’t deal with anybody else. (x)
