22 Phil meeting with Nick Fury

-----Phil POV----

As the head of Phillips group, the fastest-growing internet and media group, the new year was more than just a normal day for me. I can skip my office meeting as Linda pretty much had a handle on that. I only needed to set certain goals and give out a proper blueprint of our actions and Linda would manage the rest easily. However, events like New Year required me to personally host certain groups of people.

However, who said I can't mix party with work. I was tracking Fury since Christmas and I pretty much had a good idea where he would usually go for breakfast and it was the best time for me to approach him. This was the only time of the day when he was not around other agents and I can approach him without others noticing.

"Hello, Mr. Nick Fury. A Happy New year. The weather is sure nice. isn't it?" I found Nick sitting at the back of the diner and decided to meet him directly.

----Nick Fury POV-----

After meeting with Danvers I had already found how small and useless the human's wars were. While we were fighting like a bunch of kids, the real enemy was already in the sky. When will they decide to attack us? No one knows. We have no army or weapons to deal with them.

I was hoping to talk to Keller but we both knew all our reports and suggestions will be rejected by Pierce and the security council. They never even saw those aliens and taking aliens as an enemy would never benefit these bastards!

'I hate these Mother***** politicians playing their Mother***** games!'

While thinking of a boring New year day where I had to meet and greet all those rookies, I went inside my fav. breakfast place. They have the best omelette and morning coffee here. I took my seat near the exit that gives me a clear view of the door. Always have to be careful. Always.

Just when I was about to open the papers and check the headlines, I saw a tall young man walking towards me. Not an agent or military. Too sunny for that. And what is with that stupid smile?

Now, he is sitting in front of me after wishing me a Happy new year! This guy tracked me on purpose. Mother ******! I fuc*** hate these messengers!

"Let me guess who sent you here! Was it James or Piper? Clearly, you are a rookie. So, they sent you here with a message. Now let me tell me what will happen. You come here ruining my morning with a stupid threat and tonight when you are walking towards your home, feeling all smug and happy, you will cross an alley. You will face me, a man trained to kill even the best soldiers out there alone, and by the time I am done with you, your own mama won't recognize you boy. So, this is my free Mother***** advice, get up and leave before I lose it and you have 10 seconds private!"

Whatever Phil planned by meeting Fury like this, didn't go according to his plan at all. Fury believed him to be a stupid rookie on a stupid task of sending him a threat by some stupid guy who believes himself better than him inside Shield.

"I apologize for ruining your breakfast time Mr. Fury. You see I have heard details of an alien attack and how one Shield agent managed to go on space mission against them and managed to come back alive" replied Phil while losing his stupid smile and getting serious -

"Now, you see 'Fury', I am not here to deliver some threats but an invitation for my party. My name and all other details, I am sure you can find any time but this is my invitation for a very small and special party for a group of people who don't generally meet otherwise. And if you really want to protect this world and do something more other than being a Spy, you should come. Anyway, I do have best-fried chicken, pork/beef ribs and the best free wine. Won't hurt you for spending some of the time tonight. Would it?"

After handing out his invitation, Phil decided to get and leave. Fury without giving the invitation a look picked it up with a napkin and put it into a plastic bag in front of him. He sealed it and put it into his coat.

"Now, I would love some soul food on New Year but if I found myself wasting time among a group of frat boys playing businessman, I do hope you prayed enough for your souls," Fury said while giving him a look that clearly said 'get out of my face'.

Phil left the restaurant without eating or drinking anything while Fury called someone.

"Coulson, when you reach the office, check the finger prints I am sending you. I need to know everything about this guy. From the day he was born till now. Find about anything and everything we have and I need it before I reach my desk," Fury said and without listening to any answer cut the call.

He then rechecked the 'invitation' which basically had an address and a barcode. He gently opened the plastic bag, blew a little air into it and then pressed it down from top. After doing it for a few seconds, he could clearly make out some fingerprints. He clicked and send few pics to Coulson.

By the time he reached the office, agent Coulson gave him a file.

The guy he met is a young genius and now the business head of the Phillips group. No photos were attached with the file and there was hardly enough information that could fill even one page.

"Agent Coulson, I think we can find more information about any man we want than the one page here which is clearly half empty. So please give me a good reason before I think you are clearly unfit for your job now!" Fury feeling the day was getting worse and worse said with an ugly face.

"Chief, there really is nothing about this guy. His last public appearance was when he was 13 and after that, he disappeared into MIT. We tried to search for any photo but all searches came out empty. He is hailed as one of the few geniuses of the century and other than that there is nothing really relevant about him," replied a young agent named Coulson.

"Interesting. We do have meetings with Keller and others. The details of the attack on Howard Stark and his wife are still unclear. I think they will hand over this case to us. Get the team together and fill everyone with all the info we have so far. You can leave this Coulson," Fury sent Coulson without asking or saying anything about Phil anymore.

"Someone whose photo can't be found but is roaming in public all day. Let's check," Fury opened the computer in front of him. His security clearance is at level 8 now. He has far more resources and access to Coulson. After trying to locate 'Ryan Phillip' on the various databases, he also came out empty.

Clearly, someone high above doesn't anyone to find anything on this guy.

"Well, I think I do need to pick a mother******* suit now for the evening," Fury said to himself before closing all the screens and going for the meeting with his boss and SHIELD Director, R. Keller.
