"Richard is this going anywhere, I'm very busy I got 99 more problems to deal with today" Nick interrupted in a gruff tone.

"Mary is Pregnant Nick" he blurted. Fury leaned back in his seat again and he looked at Richard with a curious eye.

"How? I thought the doctor said she wouldn't be able to have a kid after she got shot"

"No he didn't say that Nick you heard what you only wanted to hear, the doctor actually said that because of where the bullet hit she now only has a 20% chance of having a child, well we beat the odds…..Mary is having my baby and Nick we can't risk anything happening to our miracle child….so we want…need out" said Richard with finality.

"No" replied Fury simply

"What do you mean no?"

"Just what I said No…you are in too crucial of a point to quit now Richard in a few months you'll meet the Red Skull in person. No one in Shield has ever gotten this close all you have to do is hold out until then and slip him some poison and the war is over"

"And what happens if its not that simple Nick and bullets start flying and Mary gets hit again, but only this time its not just her life that's in danger anymore it's the life of our unborn child" Richard asked.

The two stared at each for a long minute again neither saying anything to the other, but they both could read what the other was thinking through their facial expressions. They were angry at each other for the positions they found themselves imbedded in and neither was going to back down.

"How's Mikel?" Richard asked Fury suddenly.

"…" Nick didn't respond to his question just continued to look at him.

"Or better yet how's Contessa, when was the last time you spoke to her when it didn't involve a mission" he asked.

"…"

"Don't know do you…..Your wife and your son Nick and you don't even know about their well being….you're missing out…."

"Don't tell me what I'm missing Parker" Fury growled.

"Well old friend if I don't tell you who will?"

"This is a war Richard we can't lose this battle."

"That's the thing Nick there is always a war or a battle going on but that doesn't mean we always have to fight in it. This is a young man's game now. Mary and I have given Shield and the US government 21 years of our life and you've given up even more. There are better qualified and better suited people for our jobs. It's time for us to move on with our lives and…."

"No it isn't… I'm the best at what I do Richard no one can run Shield like me and there are no better spies that I've seen in my life than you and Mary"

"Well Nick maybe it's time to give someone else a chance…..someone younger who doesn't have a family to think about"

Another silence passed between the two as they each sat there staring at the other. Fury shifted in his seat and began to rub his chin clearly frustrated by this turn of events. His two best spies on the verge of bringing down The Red Skull…one of the biggest terrorist leaders in the world and they wanted to quit. He could not let this happen.

"Alright Richard…alright, when is the Red Skull planning to meet with you and Mary"

"I don't know…..could be weeks from now, or could be months he didn't say he just said that He would be inducting us into his most trusted circle, something has him spooked I think" said Richard

"What would spook the Red Skull?"

"There has been some chatter in a few open channels about an extremely efficient Assassin with a metal arm."

"Any other specifics" asked Fury

"Well there is a name that I was able decipher from one of the messages, they say that this assassin goes by the name of the Winter Soldier"

"The Winter Soldier…..I'll look into it, anyone that scares the Red Skull is a friend of mine"

"Yeah well not me….because of this Winter Soldier and him killing people that the Skull had dealings with, and a few of his science advisors, everyone is being relocated" said Richard rubbing his eyes.

"Where"

"A place called Wundagore Mountain"

"I've never heard of this place"

"Which is another reason why I called you down here, I want to give you my latest invention" said Richard reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small circular lapel pin. He pushed it over to Fury who took it and looked at it, he turned it over and he saw some electronics on the back.

"What is it?"
