It wasn’t long after the battle of New York that my drug worked and Pepper was pregnant with Tony’s child. It also seemed Tony had PTSD from whatever was on the other side of the gate. That made his stress of a pregnant wife even worse and he began to bury himself into his work. In that he and I were very similar. I then remembered a party in which a very drunk Tony blew off a potential researcher that could aid his company. When I did look over the man, Aldrich Killian and his startup company Advanced Idea Mechanics, I relieved it could very well bite my godson in the ass. The other recent issue was the group Tony thought dead after its supply of weapons, the 10 rings was back with a new deadly leader called the Mandarin. This group was using suicide bombers to destroy targets, it wasn’t long till Tony baited this group leading to them blowing up his house and capturing Pepper. When captured Pepper was injected with a compound known as extremis that caused her to lose their baby.
Tony wasn’t aware only thought Pepper was dead and went looking for revenge against the Mandarin. Around the time Tony was out of action the charismatic man captured the War machine (renamed iron patriot) armor was used to capture the president. After everything was done Tony removed his arc reactor, stop being Iron man and he revealed the mandarin on TV was an actor and the real terrorist was Killian himself using a vaguely middle eastern man to try and replace the president with a man he could use. Tony also replaced Iron man with several drone controlled by AI. I was sure that it would bite Tony in the ass like his other plans did.
During the same time the Mandarin incident was going on I was working on the process of reviving Phil Coulson. Fury and I were hoping the that we could get rid of the issue with the test subjects trying to find something by erasing his memory of project. We couldn’t figure out what they were trying to find but I had an idea it could be the lost city of the ancient inhumans but I couldn’t let Fury know of the inhumans if he didn’t already know. After Coulson was revived and acclimated we made sure to make him think he was in Tahiti. Not much longer I said to the balding man “Fury and I want you to create a small team to help solve problems.” he then asked me “what kind of problems?” I said “problems like the Mandarin, Justin Hammer and whiplash, Thor, the Iron monger, the battle of New York and Hulk. All of those started small and might not have gone so badly if we had trained agents looking into and stopping them from becoming total disasters. I have a list of my best students and some of the best agents for you to choose and form your team. I am also giving you a mobile base called the Bus. I will be coming along on a few missions in my true form.” Phil said to me “I don’t have the clearance level to see that.” My reply was “now you do?” then I drop my mask to show him my true face. His only reply was “you look a little young but I can tell what Capt. Sees in you.” I said back to him “I stop aging at 17 so I am stuck like this. Any more question?” he replied I will gather the team and let you meet them before I ask.”

I wasn’t sure what to think when I saw one of the founders of shield was an old woman in 17-year old’s body and could only imagine what the assistant director’s life was. I pretty much went with her list but added a semi-retired agent and old friend Melinda May, we called her “the Cavalry". I also went with Grant Ward, Leo Fitz and his friend and counterpart Jemma Simmons the assistant director would refer to them as Fitz-Simmons. A few days later the assistant director keyed us toward a hactivist and a man with a new version of the extremis. The man was named Mike Peterson and the hactivist was named Sky. It wasn’t long until the Elric helped capture Skye and helped Fitz and Simmons control the extrimis. When Sky was on under our control Skye asked Elric “so you have sex with Captain America?” Elric answered “yes I do. Anything you want to know?” Sky’s next question was “I saw the before and after pictures of him in the museum and wanted to know, did the serum make everything larger?” I curiously waited for the answer as well as she said “we go through an entire pack of magnums a night.” Simmons stammered out “3 times in a night?” Elric replied with “no a 12 pack.”
We then underwent mission after mission until Thor returned to earth and left another mess, this time in London. This time also bringing relics from all of the nine realms. it also brought about a weapon called the berserker staff and revealed an Asgardian on earth that took the staff and promised to keep it safe. After the incident, the assistant director told me “Watch out for Ward something seems off with him.” not long after the incident with the staff we learned about somebody known as the Clairvoyant was in charge of the group using the new version of extremis and this group was called centipede.

I could tell Skye was a lot like me, but May neither trusted her or myself. I was the only person that had an idea who and what the girl could be. I was guessing she was the daughter of my old friend and an inhuman that had yet to undergo terragenesis. I was pretty sure May was the only person on the team that even had a vague idea what an inhuman was since she left over having to kill a child inhuman that had undergone terragenesis and went crazy, thus minding controlling a town and forcing May to kill the kid. It wasn’t long after the centipede soldiers attacked they took Coulson and integrated him hoping to learn how he was revived even if Coulson had no idea. I knew I should have let myself be taken but I knew way too much and couldn’t afford to be taken. After Coulson was taken we also learned that Mike Peterson was back and now a cyborg until centipede’s control. When Coulson did return to us he asked me “did you order my resurrection and erased my memories?” my reply was “yes but it was to help you. When we revived you, you had no will to live so we erased a bunch of your memory.” He then asked “why did you bring me back?” I replied “you asked me to, so we could prove it worked. Depending on what happens later I will show you how you were brought back.” I then went back to headquarters due to rumblings I was hearing of traitors in Shield.

The assistant director then told me were to find the stuff they used to revive me and said “sorry for the pain I caused but I have other stuff to attend to please lead the team in my absence”. Right after she left I had to use the chemical on Skye to revive her. After she was revived we noticed a strange blue humanoid that I had to remember to ask the assistant director about. After that we went to academy to deal with a student that gained ice powers. Then after that we had to deal with a rogue and friendly Asgardians. It wasn’t long after that Agent Garrett brought a team to help hunt of the Clairvoyant. But that Hunt revealed Garrett and Ward were traitors.

It wasn’t long after I left to investigate possible corruption within S.h.i.e.l.d., Alexander Pierce met with me over a project that Fury wasn’t sure about. That man would always try to get Peggy and I to support his projects till the end, he appealed to the scientist part of me and the soldier part of Peggy but really couldn’t either of us to budge. I then met with Fury to have a meeting with Maria Hill. Not long after we made it to the road a masked man with stringy hair and a metal arm. Fury ended up at death’s door and told me “you were right something is dirty within shield. We need to get to your boyfriend and get him on board.” Not long after we made it to the apartment Steve went to when I wasn’t around that Fury passed off a drive to Steve and the masked man caught up to us and shot us both. Lucky for me it wasn’t common knowledge that I was bulletproof but Fury wasn’t. Steve and I then took him to a shield medical facility where he died. With how well I knew Fury he had an out even from death.
After being shot in the head I remembered that Natasha describing fighting off a man dubbed winter soldier in her time working for the KGB. Then she made it our way and helped us to get to the base that we met at. It took the red head and every bit of both our self-control to keep us from starting a full-on sex fest. We then made it to bunker where we activated a supercomputer containing the preserved consciousness of Arnim Zola. Then when he figured out who we were and then he tried to destroy the base but not before launching something from the base. My guess was Zola shot a backup of himself for somebody that shared his ideals to bring him or his knowledge back. we made it out just in time and both Steve and I figured out Pierce was an agent of hydra and maybe even a leader.
Our next stop was the home of Steve’s running buddy and former USAF pararescueman Sam Wilson. It didn’t take very long for us to convince him to help us. I also discovered that Sam had a special wingpack help him fly and aid us even further. We also learned that Zola was creating a program to identify treats to hydra and when I saw the list of names of people I encountered that might be treats to hydra. I also discovered the project Pierce was trying to get both Fury and I to sign up for were Insight Helicarriers will sweep the globe, using satellite-guided guns to eliminate these individuals. On the wall to the triskelion to stop this plan we met up with a fought winter soldier again and discovered he was Bucky under some kind of brainwashing. We then were saved by Maria Hill. Who then lead us to a safe house with a living Nick Fury. When I saw him alive I said “I knew you weren’t dead old man.” He then said to me “why are you calling me old man when you are older? We don’t have time to talk semantics and we have to stop Pierce.” The plan was the replace the chips on the Helicarriers to stop them.
We then made it to the Triskelion in which disguised Fury and Natasha snuck in to the launch of the carriers. When Pierce killed most of the counsel and then Fury killed Pierce. Natasha then dumped most of shield data to the internet as Steve broadcast a message to all of Shield that there were traitors in shield. I only hoped Coulson and his team heard that message before it was too late.

after my message Ed and Sam took down 2 of the Helicarriers and the loyal agents helped me get to the last carrier only for me to meet Bucky there. The 2 of us fought as I tried to get Bucky back. Ed told me it would be very difficult if not impossible to bring the old Bucky back to normal. After a fight, I managed to place the chip. But still had continue fighting Bucky until he the carrier crashed into the river and I went under. When I woke, Ed was standing over me and I asked her “did you save me?” her reply was a head shake and saying “no some part of Bucky brought you back.”
I then went with Fury to help Coulson’s team bring in any way we could as Steve and Sam went to track Bucky and lastly Natasha went to Europe to use her connections to help track down and take down hydra.

Not long after Ward and Garrett were revealed to be traitors, Skye left with them to try and track them. The team was then taken to the triskelion for integration when Captain America broadcast over the intercom that shield was taken over by hydra and any loyal agents should help route hydra out. I then gathered a team and May showed me a video of myself as head of Project T.A.H.I.T.I. and said “the director and assistant director shut down the project over side effects.” I then asked her “any idea what kind of side effects?” she replied “agent hill was never told she said you, Fury and Elric were the only ones with that kind of clearance.”
Not long after Fitz and Simmons were both nearly killed with Fitz taking brain damage to get his friend out. After a few more days and with Skye hacking Peterson now known as dethlok we took down Grant, Ward and their team. Grant then left for parts unknown and Fury placed me in charge and Elric promising to give up any support we needed via her company and herself. I then knew we would need to stop hydra and help clean up after all the prisoners they freed from all the shield prisons.
