Steve frowned. "So you can make people feel how you want them to...?" He asked softly. Banner shifted a bit. She could...make him not so angry all the time? Sounded useful to him.

Melissa frowned a little. "I only did it the once," she said quietly. "On accident... but yes. I think I can." She licked her lips, glancing to Tony. "I know it's not ideal and... it's a little intrusive... But if it works... And it'll only be for that little while..."
Tony twisted his mouth but he slowly nodded.
Thor chuckled a little. "I think it is a fantastic idea," he said lightly.

Steve smiled a nodded. "We should give it a try. You can keep Fury level headed and count on us to stay that way too." He said softly. "Does that sound like a good idea?"

Melissa slowly nodded. "Yeah," she said softly.
Thor nodded in agreement easily.
"Okay well," Tony said, shifting. "Shall we go find him? Get this started?"

Steve nodded slowly. "He should be in the control center." He said slowly. "Let's go." He said, walking with his team into the main room. Fury looked up from his consoles, and frowned. "The news says the Avengers took down the infected. Good work." He said slowly. He frowned though. "What is it?"

Melissa had put the puppy away quickly before following them. She stayed behind them as they entered the room, leaning against the wall. But she focused, readying herself. She didn't start yet though, waiting until she was needed.

Tony moved in, still in his suit. "We have some things we need to discuss with you," he said easily.

Steve sighed. "Look, it obvious that the Avengers and SHIELD are having some tensions." He said slowly. "I've tried staying out of it but its just not in my nature. These are my friends and all I want is an honest leader."
Fury studied him slowly and glanced to all of them. 'Is this how you all feel?"

Tony and Thor both nodded. "It is what is necessary," Thor said. "Secrets lead to folly."

"Look," Fury said. "It was never my intention to harm anyone." He said. "I didn't know that miss Chandler and you would become...more involved. That's all." He said. "It was honest of you to tell him what happened, but it was not my intention. I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
Steve shifted a little. "You know the trickery didn't work the first time..." He said softly.

"And what exactly was wrong with asking?" Thor asked pointedly.
Tony smirked a bit and nodded his way.

Fury sighed a bit. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't. Maybe he was too tired to. "Steve, no offense but you put on a good face." He said slowly. "Missy, you probably see this too." He gestured. "Captain, you're facing a lot right now and I can tell you're becoming more and more distressed."
Steve frowned deeper and shifted.

Tony and Thor glanced towards the Captain.
"Well it is a big change..." Tony said slowly.
"It's getting easier," Melissa put in softly. She managed a small smile to Steve, but it was strained. It was difficult, what she was doing.

Steve swallowed. "I'm doing the best I can, Fury." He told him. "My friends are helping me get there." He gestured. "Being a part of an honest team is helping me get there." He confessed. "Without these guys...you're right, I wouldn't be okay. I guess I'm still not okay. But I will be. I trust them to take care of me, and they trust me to do the same...the only odd man out is you."

Tony and Thor nodded once again.
"We're sick of taking orders," Tony said. "We would rather work together, play nice, as it were. See look, I'm growing too." He smirked teasingly.

Fury exhaled and shook his head. "Alright." He said simply. "I guess I was just used to maintaining the members individually." He stood up. "But it is clear to me now that everyone is functioning as one." He interlinked his fingers. "I suppose that's what I had hoped for."
