Nick Fury losing his eye
After a long hard battle to save the nation from numerous, needless deaths, Ex-director Nick Fury sits down with Captain Rogers. Offering a cold beer to the hero of the day, he rubs at his patched eye. Steve notices this and asks the question he's wanted to since he met the mysterious man. "Fury, do mind me asking a personal question?" "Not at all son. What is it?" "How did you lose your eye?" Nicolas Joseph Fury sighs. He hates that question and the answer even more. But he's grown to like this super soldier. After all he did just save the nation for the 56th time. Nick got up and looked out the window of the twenty-five story building they were in. And began to tell the tale. "Back in '92 there was an incident. You were obviously still in ice so I would be surprised if you even heard about it. I had been undercover for 5 years at a facility on an island in Central America. When I had got there it was clear this place was not what it seemed. They had highly advanced computers for the time. And millions of dollars worth of equipment. It was very unsettling. Then I saw the specimens of their creation. The founder had somehow found a way to create dinosaur clones." Steve just stared at him. If there was one thing he has learned since being thawed out, is that sciences that seemed impossible, probably were being used by bad people at that moment. "Dinosaurs? As in big iguanas?" Steve asked quizzically. Fury chuckled, "if only they were giant iguanas. It would have been a hell of a lot easier. I had been keeping my higher ups informed as it progressed. But I was liking the situation less and less. The system they were using was falling apart around them and the man in church of debugging and fixing it was a slob to say the least. This was around the time I was thinking of quitting smoking and I explain why later." Steve was unaware that this man ever smoked. He seemed to detest it. Maybe he was really serious about quitting. "As the days wore on, the found of this company Ingen, John Hammond was ever more excited to open up this 'Jurassic Park' and share it with the world. But these dinosaurs were very temperamental. Damn T-Rex was near the size of a house. Hated everything and everything. "About it. Eventually after Hammond invited a group of people to inspect and endorse the park, everything went wrong. The nerd in charge of the computers was no where to be found, the fences were down and there were people out in the park. The Rex got out and went on a killing spree in the others Dino enclosures. But the worst was the raptors." Steve had only hear about raptors from the F-22 fighter jet. As dangerous and lethal a jet there ever was. "The raptors were roughly 6 feet tall and had killer claws on both feet and rows of sharp teeth. While I had to go turn a generator back on, I was cornered by one of these monsters. Luckily there was a worker there with me that was slower than me." Fury chuckled at the thought. Steve never enjoyed Fury's sense of humor. Maybe after all this man had been through, it's all he can do from breaking down, Steve thought. "While trying to turn the power on, I heard on my S.H.I.E.L.D. transponder that that the Costa Rican Government was going to bomb the island. At this time I had gotten lost in the dense jungles that infested that island. But they told me to get to the northern most beach to be extracted. I made my way as fast as I could with tar filled lungs and a horrible breathing rate. I was only keenly aware of the smell I left where ever I went. And I could tell I was being followed. I got to the beach, and my stalker finally reveled it's self. A raptor had locked on to my scent and the scent of the tobacco I had been smoking. He lunged at me, slicing my eye. A horrible pain as I have ever felt. But as luck would have it, it was not my day to die. A S.H.I.E.L.D. Copter had gotten there just in time. The gunner in the back had spotted the danger and relieved it of its existence. We got out of there just in time to see the fireball that consumed a lot of the island. I can still hear the roars and the sounds of the beasts as most of them died. Not my favorite mission. But it made me the man I am today." With that final remark, the Ex-director left Captain America to digest the story.
