The Enigma

Somewhere in the pacific ocean, 2010,

in a strange room, the looked like a cube, we can see two men sitting on chairs across a table as they watched the tv in front of them,

'Truth is, I am Iron Man' said a man with a beard with his arm in an arm sling,

This was Tony Stark, a genius billionaire and the one who created and used a state of the art armor, at least by the standards of this world anyway.

"I can already tell he is going to be a pain in the arse for you, Nick," said the man with deep black hair and blue eyes as he lazily chewed on the pizza in front of him,

"You might be right Aron, but I need to see if he is worth it myself," said the man with tan skin and an eyepatch called as Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D, The man called Aron rose an eyebrow before saying,

"So are you going to send the spider of the bird after him?"

"Neither, I plan of going to him myself," Nick said as Aron chuckled and said,

"Now that will be interesting, let's see if you can scare him with your 'no-nonsense' attitude as you do to your own agents" Nick sighed as he mumbled,

"I don't scare them as much as you do with your attitude and aura, besides, I learned how to do that from yourself so you have no right to comment on me"

"I did not teach you that!!, I remember a 10-year-old boy wanting to learn to be a fighter from me and I fulfilled that request, that's it," Aron said as Nick gave him the look,

"and you did a great job at that by breaking my bones repeatedly in the torture sessions that you called 'spars', anyway, I got a plane to catch, see you later," Nick said as he left the room as Aron looked at the door in amusement before a grabbed the last of the pizza and vanished as if he was never there in the first place,

2012, same place as before,

"You look like you are about to burst from anxiety Nick," Aron said in the same lazy tone he always had as Nick replied,

"I am in fact about to go catatonic in rage and anxiety, in the past two years the entire world has gone to shit with the weird things happening all around, first there was Stark, then there is Banner and then that idiot of a general Ross and his pet abomination, and then I am forced to deal with gods of all things and now we find the Captain F-ing America under ice in Antarctica, I feel like I am about to become jaded with how the world keeps throwing shit at me!!" he said as he finally started to calm down as Aron just looked at him in amusement but the same expression did not reach his eyes as he understood what Nick was going through better than anyone,

"You knew better than anyone what you were signing up for when you decided to expand S.H.I.E.L.D from a simple law enforcement unit to a secret agency after you met that Danvers girl and the Skrull and Kree soldiers, besides, you already knew that I was an immortal long before that incident so things like these should not come as much of a surprise to you, Nick," Aron said as Fury sighed,

"I know Aron, it's just that I feel like S.H.I.E.L.D is no longer able to handle shit like this as it is now, the Avengers initiative has to be started immediately and I need you-" "no" Aron immediately said, interrupting Nick,

"My days of fighting are long past Nick and I have no interest in leading a bunch of misfits into taking down terrorists or whatever, you remember our deal, I train you and advise you as long as you are alive, and you allow me to live in luxury and away from the world," he said as Nick sighed,

It seems it was going to be a lot tougher to recruit the Enigma into the team.
