"The Captain America matter is settled for now."
"Stark, what about you?"
Nick Fury then turned his gaze to Tony Stark.
"We can talk about other things later, but right now, share all the intelligence you have on the Ten Rings with me," Tony Stark said, as expected.
For Tony Stark, the biggest threat at the moment was the Ten Rings; everything else could wait.
"No problem."
Nick Fury also nodded, agreeing without hesitation. Tony Stark striking at the Ten Rings was something he was happy to see happen.
Previously, the Ten Rings were not enough to truly concern Nick Fury, but now it was different. In the future, the Ten Rings would have super-powered individuals capable of fighting Iron Man suits hand-to-hand.
It was even possible that such super-powered individuals already existed.
Nick Fury naturally couldn't remain indifferent any longer.
"Thor, you can temporarily stay at S.H.I.E.L.D. We will provide you with anything you need."
Nick Fury then said to Thor.
Thor had nowhere to go at the moment. He didn't hesitate, nodded, and agreed.
Moreover, for Thor, the most important thing now was to pick up his hammer and regain his divine power as soon as possible.
Since Thor couldn't lift the hammer now, it could only be temporarily kept at S.H.I.E.L.D.
As for Black Widow and Agent Coulson, Nick Fury didn't question them. They were his most loyal subordinates, so he could simply give them orders.
He only needed to communicate and discuss with the three bigwigs: Tony Stark, Thor, and Captain America, and that was all.
After briefly finalizing the initial plan, everyone began to act.
"Hill, compile all intelligence related to the Ten Rings, as well as all mission briefings from our relevant tasks, and send them to my office."
Nick Fury immediately used the internal phone to give Agent Hill an order.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
The sound of a pen scratching on paper continuously echoed. Black Widow was drawing portraits. Before long, she stopped writing, and several portraits were already completed.
Among them were the man who was discussing with Vision and others, standing beside the Scarlet Witch Wanda, and the super-powered individual from the Ten Rings who kidnapped the president, all prominently featured.
It is worth mentioning that these individuals were all copied by Black Widow using her Sharingan, ensuring 100% accuracy.
They could be used directly as photographs.
"Sir, they're finished."
Black Widow placed the portraits in front of Nick Fury, and everyone present gathered around to examine them.
Tony Stark said nothing superfluous, pulled out his phone, and snapped a few photos.
"Stark, if you find anything about these two people, I hope you can share the intelligence with me immediately."
Nick Fury didn't stop him. Instead, he said earnestly to Tony Stark.
For Tony Stark, who had J.A.R.V.I.S., finding people based on portraits indeed gave him a huge advantage over S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Don't worry, Nick Fury, we're in a friendly partnership now," Tony Stark didn't refuse.
"Sir, here is the information you requested."
A short while later, Agent Hill walked in and handed a USB drive to Nick Fury. Without a doubt, it contained the intelligence on the Ten Rings that Tony Stark had requested.
Seeing so many people in the office, Hill was secretly curious. Was her superior planning some important operation?
Coulson and Black Widow were both present, and even Captain America was there.
But as an agent, Hill's professionalism was excellent. She didn't ask anything beyond what was necessary, no matter how curious she was.
After handing the USB drive to Nick Fury, she left.
"Nick Fury, and everyone, I'm off!"
Tony Stark took the USB drive, greeted everyone present, and swaggered out.
At this time, Black Widow began to connect with Captain America. Thor, like a curious child, listened intently to their conversation from the side.
However, this guy was not an outsider, nor was he even an Earthling. Black Widow and Captain America didn't avoid Thor; they continued their discussion as if he wasn't there, as if nothing was amiss.
"Captain, I can provide you with a Quinjet fighter and a tactical team, all under your command."
Nick Fury saw that their intelligence sharing was mostly complete, and it was time to formulate a battle plan. He spoke up, offering a suggestion, "Also, Romanoff will go with you."
Since he couldn't stop Captain America's "stubbornness," Nick Fury quickly made a decision to fully support Captain America's actions.
He would uproot that Hydra base completely!
"Nick Fury, this is my business. You don't have to do all this," Captain America said earnestly to Nick Fury.
"No, Captain, this isn't just your business," Nick Fury said emphatically. "Hydra is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s enemy too, isn't it?"
Captain America secretly investigating Hydra for Nick Fury, and Nick Fury helping Captain America find Bucky—they had indeed reached such an agreement before.
Now that Bucky had been found, Nick Fury certainly didn't have to intervene to rescue him.
However, Nick Fury was right. Eliminating Hydra was also S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibility, so Captain America didn't say much more.
After a brief moment of thought, he turned and glanced at Thor: "I'd like to borrow your hammer."
According to Black Widow's intelligence, the base's defenses were extremely strict. Even with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s support, it would undoubtedly be a fierce battle.
To reduce casualties and increase the chance of success, Captain America planned to borrow Thor's hammer.
"To rescue your comrade, that is what a brave warrior should do!" Thor didn't hesitate, immediately nodding in agreement, "Take the hammer. If you need me, I can go with you too!"
"Thank you, Thor, but this is my own business," Captain America shook his head, declining Thor's offer.
Thor also knew that he had lost his divine power, so even if he went, he couldn't be of much help. He didn't insist.
"Good luck, Man!" Thor patted Captain America on the shoulder, speaking emphatically to him.
Captain America nodded, then continued discussing the operational details with Black Widow.
Approximately half an hour later, everything was finalized. Captain America, holding Mjolnir, left Nick Fury's office with Black Widow.
