Nick Fury was standing in the center, soon the screen illuminated with cold blue light. The digital visages of the World Security Council members came into focus.
Councilman Pierce: "So we now have two walking aliens on Earth. One controls thunder with a hammer and the other… grew a tree in a billionaire's living room."
Councilwoman Hawley: "The power they hold is beyond anything we have seen in the past"
Councilman Singh: "His fight with the destroyer without tech and fire breath, it might be just fraction of his true power."
Fury stood hands clasped behind his back unbothered by the growing unease.
Fury: "He saved people when he could've destroyed them. He stood between a town and destruction. And he hasn't asked for anything. Doesn't that tell you something? He is friendly."
Hawley: "No, it tells me he's powerful. Too powerful and we need control."
Pierce: "And too mysterious. You're calling him friendly? What if he turns hostile, what then?"
Fury: "Then we find a way to deal with it. But until then we can start the Avengers Initiative. We can invite Tony and Raizen on the team. Type of control plus authority."
There was a long pause. Then one by one the council members gave their nods.
Pierce: "Very well. The Initiative is approved. But if he shows signs of being a threat, it falls on your shoulders, Fury."
Fury: "Understood."
The screens went dark one by one leaving Fury alone in the chamber. He let out a slow breath before turning toward the elevator. Within moments he was stepping into his office on Deck 4.
Waiting inside were three of his most trusted agents Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, and Natasha Romanoff.
Fury: "Council signed off. Avengers Initiative is greenlit."
Clint: "So who do we get first?"
Fury: "Thor's gone back to wherever Asgard is. Stark's building a new element"
Natasha: "Banner, then?"
Fury: "Yes. But I want Raizen along. You and Coulson will take him to locate Banner."
Clint: "And if Banner turns green?"
Fury: "That's why Raizen's going. Maybe the green guy can force Raizen to show all his cards."
There was a short silence before Coulson cleared his throat.
Coulson: "You also mentioned something… about asking him?"
Fury: "Yeah. That lightning power he gave Thor. The fruit, ask about it. But don't push. Just observe his reaction."
Natasha: "You think it's alien tech?"
Fury: "Or something else entirely. That's what we're trying to figure out."
Fury turned to face the glass the shadow back deep in thought. Raizen was a powerful mysterious anomaly dropped into their world without explanation. But one thing was certain he was no enemy. Not yet.

Tony: "What's happening to me?"
Raizen: "Don't worry, maybe you will turn into some animal"
Tony: "I swear to God, if I grow hair or turn into a squirrel, I will drop nuke on you."
Time passed and tony did not turn into any animal so it was not Zoan power.
Raizen: "Do you feel any power?"
Tony focused his mind he could feel it, something deeper. Mechanical instincts awakening.
He walked to his desk eyes scanning across the remains of yesterday's failed prototype. He waved his hand lazily at it.
Nothing happened.
Tried again.
Still Nothing.
Raizen: "Focus, Your instincts will guide you!"
Tony calmed down his mind and tried to use his power. His fingers twitched. A purple liquid like stuff flowed from his hand onto the desk. It soon covered all the parts on the desk. Than the parts snapped upward. Tools clattered. Bits of exoskeleton danced like puppets on unseen strings.
In less than five seconds the parts snapped together a small robot the size of a football stood upright on the table with a single eye and smooth wheels for mobility.
Tony: "...Okay, that's new."
Tony: "Hey, JARVIS."
JARVIS: "Yes, sir?"
Tony: "Take controls of this robot"
JARVIS: " Synchronizing...10%... 20%.... Success. online."
The robot whirred to life, pivoted and rolled in a neat circle before firing a tiny arc of static at the couch.
Raizen: "Congratulations!! If my guess is correct you can disassemble and reassemble objects just by thinking."
Tony: "Just… thought?"
Tony grinned already moving toward a box of unused junk parts.
Tony: "Jarvis, prepare for a revolution."
