A Deadly Serum (Tony/Bruce/Selene/Brooke)

[ironman]

Tony Stark and Bruce Banner were in the meeting room of the Avengers Mansion, with Tony setting up the projector and other stuff while Bruce was on his laptop, with a cup of Starbucks Coffee in his other hand, doing research. For Tony, something recently happened to a friend of his way back in the day, Maya Hansen, a friend of Tony, came to him a couple of days ago and let him know about the a virus, Extremis, that was out on the loose. Extremis was like Captain America’s super soldier serum but deadly and unforgiving, so now that it’s out, it could be anywhere. Tony realized that he could not do this alone, due to the power of the Extremis serum, so he asked for the help his friend and ally Bruce Banner, better known as The Incredible Hulk. Tony and Bruce were more like science bros, so they had days to prepare the information of Extremis, but explaining it two other SHIELD agents.

Tony and Bruce both knew SHIELD agents Brooke Maria Hawkins and Selene Woods very well, since they worked with them in the past. With their experience and their information, Tony knew he could count on them for something like this. He couldn’t get all of the Avengers on an even like this, because it was too risky. Let’s say if someone, maybe an enemy of The Avengers like Loki or someone worse used the Extremis, manipulated the team and used Extremis on them. That would be a nightmare and the world would be in big trouble, so he asked Bruce for help and the doctor accepted. The Hulk also would be a big help for Tony, going after others who used Extremis, but it would not be easy. Tony finished setting up the projector as he talked to Bruce about the information he found on the Extremis virus. All they had to do was wait for Brooke and Selene to come by so they can get this started.

"Brooke! Come on! Seriously, they're probably waiting for us right now. Oh my god you're such a slowpoke."Selene crossed her arms and shifted her weight to her other leg, looking impatient. Brooke was just putting away some things, and looked up to her friend, "Okay, okay, I'm hurrying. Let's get going now. We can't keep them waiting." Selene sighed softly and headed outside, Brooke trailing behind her as they headed for their cars. She got into her own car and started it up, pulling out of her parking space before driving out onto the street. It had been not too long ago that she and Brooke had been asked to meet up with trusted friends and fellow heroes, Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. The situation was serious and they had been called in to help out. Right now, they were supposed to be at the Mansion to be briefed on what was going down and what they needed to do to stop it.

Turning onto another street, Selene slowed down and parked her car once arriving at the mansion, Brooke just behind her. She got out of her car and waiting for Brooke to come over. "Alright, Selene, let's head inside." Selene simply nodded in response and they both walked up to the front doors.

Tony started going back and forth across the room as Bruce saw this and he looked at Tony. “Can you stop doing that Tony? You’re going to worry yourself too much”, he told him but did Tony listen? Hell no. He kept on going back and forth before Bruce stood up, walked up to Tony and put both hands on Tony’s shoulders. “Stop and listen”, he said to Stark, who looked at Bruce, feeling worried and ticked off. “I know how you feel about this Extremis virus that’s out there but this is not your fault. We’ll find the people responsible for this”, Bruce said to him as Tony looked at Bruce still and sighed before he sat down at the table. “You have no idea how powerful something like this is Bruce. This is like the Super Soldier Serum back then but this ‘Extremis’ is deadly, dangerous and out of control, we have to stop it”, he told Bruce.

“And better yet, where the hell is Brooke and Selene, shouldn’t they be here by now?“, Tony asked as his friend placed one hand on Tony’s shoulder. “Relax Tony, maybe they are caught up in traffic or something”, he answered. Bruce then suddenly heard something outside the mansion as he walked up to the windows, seeing two cars pull up and out of them are Brooke and Selena as he smiled. “There here Tony. I’ll bring them inside”, he said to Tony, who nodded his head before Bruce left the room. He was glad that they were here or Tony would do something stupid, like going in his armor and taking off, finding the person responsible for Extremis, thank god it didn’t come down to that. Leaving the room, Bruce went to where the front doors before he opened them.

“Hey guys, come in and follow me to the meeting room. Tony is there so, we have a lot to talk about, follow me”, he told them as he started to go to the meeting room.

[Brooke Maria Hawkins]

As they walked up to the front door of the Avengers Mansion Bruce was there to open the door for them. "Hey," Brooke smiled and greeted their friend,"Sorry we're a little late... Got caught up back at work." She explained to him. Selene crossed her arms and chimed in after a moment, jabbing a thumb back at Brooke,"That, and someone doesn't know the meaning of the word hurry." At her friend's tease, Brooke simply shook her head and stepped through the door, Selene walking in behind her. Brooke nodded when he explained that they had a lot they needed to talk about. They followed Bruce as he led them through the halls to the meeting room.

When Brooke walked into the meeting room after the other two to see a stressed out looking Tony. "Hello Tony. Long time no see." She said to him with a smile, attempting to try and lighten the mood, though she highly doubted it would do anything. Though at least she had tried. Walking over to the table, she took a seat next to Selene and sat back. She knew what they were dealing with was very serious and both she and fellow S.H.E.I.L.D agent Selene were ready to listen and help in any possible way that they could.

Tony heard Brooke’s voice and just waved at her, smiling a bit but wasn’t in a good mood right now. He just felt so stressed out but now the two of them were here, and now the meeting can begin. Tony stood up and turned on the projector in the room while Bruce connected it to his lap top before Tony started to speak. “Thanks for coming guys, we have a real big problem on our hands so I am glad that you guys made it. Now that you’re here we can get this started”, he told them both sincerely before continuing. “A couple days ago Maya Henson, a friend of mine back in the day came by to inform me that her co-worker, Aldrich Killian had killed himself. Now the thing is he sent a note to Maya telling her that Killian had let loose an dangerous Serum called ‘Extremis’ “, Tony explained to them before Bruce cleared his throat.

“Now I know what you guys must be asking yourselves, what is Extremis? It is a military nanotechnology serum like Captain America’s Super Solider Serum but even deadlier. The brains repair center directs the body to rebuild itself from scratch as if the tissue is replaced”, Bruce said, explaining what Extremis is before getting on his computer and opening a file, showing an injection. “Now what you see is an injection carrier fluid, an bio electronics package fitted into a few billion graphic nanotubes”, Bruce told them before Tony came in. “The bottom line here guys is that it’s been taken without protocol, someone survived from it and now it’s a big mess. That’s why Bruce and myself called you two here for help…and I am going to need it. We need to find who has the Extremis and stop the person before it’s too late”,he said to them both.
