Chapter 103: Hidden moves
"What do you mean no? I thought you will be the first to accept that SHIELD is a rotten pot. And in this way we won't have any restrictions on us by this one eyed guy." Tony said. He didn't even hesitate to mock Fury as finally Tony has the jump on him.
"Tony you are naive if you think disbanding SHIELD will restrict us. Do you the think the governments will allow us to move freely? One day or other we will commit mistakes and these politicians won't even take a second to vilify us. At least with SHIELD we have a better management. It's not perfect but it keeps these self centred people at bay." John said. Everybody was silent when they heard it. They knew what John said was right.
Even though the hearing senate had the hands of SHIELD but it was pretty apparent that even White House wanted to control Tony before.
"Another reason of not disbanding SHIELD is that another world will merge soon in coming years. And this new world won't be in a separate dimension but totally adapting in broad daylight. Do you think Avengers would be able to handle such a huge thing?"
"Huh! A new world? Which world? Seven deadly sins? I hope it's not that. Humanity will be in peril if that happens." Clint said as he loved watching that anime. Fury and others all looked for an answer but John didn't reveal which world would merge.
Fury who was listening silently to all this finally said "Then how do you propose we clean SHIELD?" He had clear eye as he felt with John he might be able to salvage the situation.
"Cleaning SHIELD is easy. We can ask Naruto and Sasuke to filter the Hydra agents with Naruto's sage mode and Sasuke's Sharingan. It might take sometime but it can be done. This will make SHIELD weak. But you can ask the kages for help in this regard. I am sure they will be more than happy to eradicate Hydra. Even though it was our joint plan, I don't think the kages would take such an infringement of their territory lightly. Especially after the betrayal of lords."
"This would let to a better cooperation between SHIELD and them. Add some ninjas into SHIELD till you get enough manpower. Who knows maybe you, Fury, would be able to convince some ninjas to work for you specifically."
John had ideas of controlling SHIELD in this way. If many ninjas get incorporated in SHIELD he would be able to control many situations and have a proper knowledge of everything through SHIELD.
Fury had a glint in his eye but didn't say anything. They finally planned to use the end meeting which Whitehall proposed involving all the major players of Hydra to banish Hydra to hell. "We would need a full proof plan. Nobody could know this plan except us." Bruce, who was listening too all of this finally said and they started planning accordingly.
Steve who was still not happy with it finally accepted that SHIELD won't be disband but he had added a condition.
"I will accept your proposal but only in one condition. Bruce Wayne will be the Secretary of the World Council. Among us only Wayne is more paranoid than you Fury. Him sitting at top will ensure that SHIELD never goes in a wrong path again."
John and Wayne was taken aback by this suggestion. He never expected that Captain America would suggest such a crazy condition.
"I will have to convince the world council for this?" Fury said with hesitation.
"Isn't Gideon Mallick a member of world council? Doesn't he belong to Hydra? We haven't even asked for proper compensation about the nuke they sent. They better put Wayne as the secretary otherwise I won't mind inputting some sense into them. Tell them we have removed a tumor and if they don't do it I will release all the dirty files of Hydra. I will see how governments deal with the aftermath. " This time it was Tony who added. Bruce was his close friend and someone who saved him multiple times. Having him as the Secretary would be a huge bonus.
"Fine I will convince them." Fury said with a sigh.
"You haven't even asked me if I want to be the Secretary?" Bruce interjected.
"Bruce you need a platform to show your face to people. Nobody will ever doubt you being Batman while serving as the Secretary. You don't have Wayne Enterprises here anymore. With this you will have more access to many things." Tony said. Bruce thought for a minute and finally accepted this new management role. He could let Alfred take care of the most part while him continuing his own research.
"We will have to play all our roles accordingly. They will try to assassinate me. After my assassination you all better act well. Any doubts by Hydra will take us back to square one." John said.
"Will you be fine?" Tony asked with a little worry in his face.
"I will be fine. I have already contacted Sasuke to help me in staging my death. I will make it look real. It was him who had been running around and spying on them."
"OK people. We should go back to our places. Can't let Hydra know of this move of ours." Diana said.
