New York City, A Few Days Later.
Shinobi looked through a pair of binoculars and zoomed in to see someone jump out of a bank window.
He has a human-like appearance with distinctive Mandrill ape features with brown fur and yellow eyes. He's wearing a blue shirt with long sleeves, a yellow belt around his waist, black spandex, black boots, and a red cape.
"Mandrill."
Naruto put the binoculars in his belt and dived off the building. Going halfway down, he flipped to land on a scaffold for cleaning the windows. The end in front of him suddenly dropped, having him fall two stories onto another.
The back dropped having Naruto fall backward onto another one a story down.
He slid from that one onto the building in front of him before running to jump to the next one below him. He grabbed a wire clothesline, flipped from it, and landed on the roof.
Running to the edge, Naruto jumped off into a backflip and landed on the next building before jumping off it and landed on the ground with the others.
"I surrender! I surrender!" Mandrill yelled out as he back from Naruto into the Hulk.
"Well, that was easy," Wasp said flying up.
"Verily. He brings shame to all monkeys with his cowardness. What say you, Shinobi?" Thor asked resting Mjolnir on his shoulder.
"I say one down, seventy-three to go," Naruto replied as Iron Man turned to him.
"Seventy-Three?"
"Fury said he got one person right after the breakout."
Night, Harbour.
A cloaked man walked on a storage ship before being spotted.
"Look at what we got here."
The man turned to a group of men holding crowbars, pipes, and chains. They dashed to the hooded man who jumped up, took off the cloak, and blinded several men with it before quickly taking them out along with the others who didn't get caught.
The man ran into a light and showed him wearing a skin-tight, full-body black cat ninja suit.
He disappeared in the shadows as he ran into the city.
The Next Morning; New York, Stark Mansion.
Pepper looked at her watch before sighing. "Well, thank you for actually being on time." She said to her left as Shinobi and an annoyed Hulk with his arms cross stood at the gates to a mansion.
"Unlike the others."
"No problem, Pepper," Naruto said as Hulk gave an annoyed grunt.
Naruto watched the people walk by them as a woman's dog sniffed Hulk for a second before leaving with its owner.
"Hark, Ms. Potts!"
The trio looked to see Thor float down. "And Hulk, Shinobi. It is good to see you again. Are you ready for the upcoming battles?" He asked the two as he walked up and placed a hand on Hulk's shoulder.
Hulk simply took Thor's hand off him. "You ready to get a watch?"
"We're here! Sorry, we're late!" Wasp said flying in her small form in between the two. "I had to tear Hank away from his lab."
Suddenly, Ant-Man grew from his small size surprising Thor. "Friend Pym! I did not see you there! I expected you to be... Giant."
"Really? Why?"
"Thy giant self seems more... useful."
"Well, actually-!"
"Where's Stark!?" Hulk yelled out interrupting Thor and Ant-Man.
"Sorry! Sorry, everyone!" Iron Man said dropping down. "I got caught up in a meeting."
He took off his helmet and looked at Pepper. "Actually, I missed that meeting, too."
She narrowed her eyes at him as Tony continued. "Thanks for coming, and welcome to... Avengers Mansion." Naruto glanced to the three-storied mansion as Tony continued.
"This was my-!"
Clang!
Only to stop as Hulk pushed the gate open, and into the yard. "(Sigh) You know, that was really rude."
They walked inside where Thor looked at a camera pad by the door. A light scanned his eye before J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke.
"Greetings Thor Odinson. May I offer you a drink?"
"What manner of the palace is this?" Thor asked looking back to the others.
"This was the museum for the Maria Stark Foundation. My mother's home. I've had it upgraded since the breakout. I thought this could be our Headquarters." Tony replied as the others looked around the main entrance.
"Swanky," Wasp said flying up.
"The mansion is run by J.A.R.V.I.S., my Artificial Intelligence. Anything you need, J.A.R.V.I.S. will provide. Say hi, J.A.R.V.I.S."
"Indeed."
Tony took them to the kitchen where the Hulk went to the refrigerator and started eating.
"We got a full kitchen, chef on call."
Tony took them upstairs where they each went into a bedroom.
"There are twelve bedrooms, maid service, laundry, room service."
They walked into a living room where Tony continued his tour.
"A theater/lounge." Wasp grew to her original size and hit a remote. A picture over the fireplace moved up into a frame showing a cartoon short.
"Satellite T.V. and movies, every form of video entertainment on the planet."
"Are you serious, Stark?" Naruto looked over as Ant-Man spoke. "This, is what you've spent a week preparing?"
"Uh, no, I haven't gotten to the good part yet." Pepper walked up and handed them an I.D. card. "You're going to need these."
It has a red 'A' with the bar is an arrow going into three more triangles. It has a red stripe on the top and a black one in the middle with a black square on the top right.
Suddenly, the 'A' turned white with blue trim as did the triangles and it beeped. Tony came up on the square revealing it's a screen and he spoke.
"These I.D. cards are linked to the Stark Satellite Network." Naruto looked to him as Tony continued. "It'll keep us in audio and video communication anywhere in the world. They also give you full access and control of the mansion."
"Here, let me show you how it works."
Naruto looked to see Pepper give Hulk a card.
"You think I can't figure it out!?"
"I'm sure you can."
Thor narrowed his eyes at that. "'Twould be wise to treat the lady with respect," Thor said walking up to the Hulk.
"Which lady did ya mean, blondie?"
"Ahem!" Tony cleared his throat as the fireplace went up to show another doorway.
"Nifty!" Wasp said shrinking and flew over. They walked in and saw it was an elevator with glass walls and took them deep underground to show another three-storied building.
(A/N: For a better picture look at this episode.)
Tony took them through a science lab and to what looked like a football field-sized pool.
"A pool?" Wasp asked having Tony shake his head.
"No, that's on the roof. This is the hangar for the two prototype high-speed shuttles."
Suddenly, the pool opened from the middle revealing a jet coming up from underneath.
It's white and red on the front with the red 'A' on it.
"The Quinjets. Complete with weapons, shield, and an airspeed of Mach 8." Tony glanced to Naruto, the Hulk, and Ant-Man. "For those of us that can't fly. It can go into Space too."
"Screw you, Tony," Naruto said flipping Tony off.
Tony then took them through a training area with different rooms they tried before they went to a large office.
"And this is the assembly hall." He took them to a red round table having a black 'A' on it.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., bring up the most wanted list." A hologram tower went up showing the heads of every villain that escape with Graviton, and Mandrill turning red showing they're captured.
Naruto noticed one was missing before speaking. "Where's Diamondback?"
"Joined S.H.I.E.L.D," Tony replied having the others blink. "Said she was tired of going back to jail so Fury put her on probation to see if she really meant it. Okay, seventy-four Supervillains escaped, Graviton's being held by S.H.I.E.L.D., we caught Mandrill and Rachel A.K.A Diamondback is working for Fury."
Naruto looked over and noticed the Hulk looking at his reflection. As Naruto turned his attention back to the table, he missed Hulk's eye's glow for a second.
'They'll turn on you, too.'
Hulk looked to see Bruce in the window. "This was your idea."
'Things have changed.'
Hulk looked to see Wasp wave at him before making faces and turned back.
"Real mature, Janet," Naruto said before looking at the holograms.
"If we do recapture them all, where do we put them? The Big House and Vault are destroyed and we haven't heard anything from the Cube." Ant-Man said as Tony looked at him.
"I'm working with a colleague about that now. Reed Richards is working on a prison that's actually outside this dimension. In a place, he calls, 'The Negative Zone."
"Too much talking. We should just go get these guys" Hulk commented from the other side of the room.
"We need to find them first," Naruto said before Janet yawned.
"We don't even know how the breakout happened in the first place. What's to keep it from happening there?" Ant-Man said as Naruto sighed.
"If we put them in this Negative Zone they wouldn't be able to leave even if the power goes out!" Naruto said leaning on the table with his hands.
"You know... maybe we should call it a day. Then concentrate on beating up the bad guy tomorrow." Wasp said leaning her head on her hands.
"At least one of you knows what they're doing," Hulk said before turning to leave.
Thor gripped the table before walking over to him. "I have had enough of you, creature! Your insults end here!"
"You wanna go, Goldilocks?"
Naruto got in between them. "Enough! Let's take five." The two looked at him before Hulk snorted and left. "Take it easy on him, Thor. This is the first time the Hulk's been with people."
"Why are you defending him?"
"Let's just say, I have something in common with him."
Tony walked up to the trio and cleared his throat. "Since you two are the only ones staying at the mansion full time, I'd appreciate it if you didn't level the place."
Later, that night, the Hulk laid down on his slightly smaller bed before hearing Bruce. Sitting up, he looked to the mirror to see Bruce mirror his actions.
'This is exactly where they want you, Hulk. This is your new prison. Get used to it!'
Hulk's eyes glowed green, drowning out pleas from Bruce that he was locked up inside his mind. As Hulk left, the 'Bruce' disappeared and was replaced by a smirking Enchantress.
Hank's Laboratory; Wasp, Hank, And Naruto.
Naruto leaned against the door frame as Hank, with his cowl down, worked on a new Ultron head.
"You never listen to me. I can't believe you don't think this is cool!" Wasp said as she flew in his way.
"He would if it had six legs and could carry fifty times its own weight." Naruto picked up as they argued over Hank being uninterested with the Avengers.
"Huh? Oh! I do think this is cool. The modifications I made to the A.I. are very exciting." Hank said looking at the Ultron head.
"(Sigh) No! I'm talking about the Avengers. We're superheroes!"
"I'm a scientist, Janet."
"With Superpowers! On a superhero team!" Wasp said getting in Hank's face.
"Just because Iron Man says we're a team doesn't make it so. We're six strangers. A team takes time, it takes trust." Hank replied getting up with the head and went to the other side of the room.
"I wonder where Thor slept before this? Does he even sleep? I bet the Hulk slept wherever he wanted. (Gasp) I know! I'll live in the mansion!" Wasp exclaimed.
"What?!" Naruto yelled uncrossing his arms. "Where the hell will I live? I can't have my friends come to the mansion! That would blow my cover!"
"Then stay at the penthouse! I said I would stay, not you!" Wasp yelled at Naruto.
"Well, I-okay, that makes more sense," Naruto said with a shrug getting Wasp to narrow her eyes.
"You're not planning on anything are you?"
"Wha..? No, how can you even think of such a thing?"
"What about that time I found that naked girl in the penthouse?"
Naruto deadpanned at her. "That was M.J., she stayed the night to study. And she was not naked, she had a towel on! She had just taken a shower and left her clothes out of the bathroom."
Stark Industries.
Tony sat at his desk, looking at Fury who had his back to him before looking to Pepper.
"I don't remember him on the schedule."
"He's Nick Fury. He wanted a meeting. What was I supposed to do?" She asked walking out as Tony glanced back to Fury.
"Let me guess. S.H.I.E.L.D. needs weapons, you want to recruit Iron Man, you need my help."
"Not this time. This time, I came to help you. You see, believe it or not... I want your little Avengers Project to succeed."
Avenger's Mansion.
Enchantress walked the halls, disabling J.A.R.V.I.S.'s cameras as she passed them.
In the lounge, Thor sat on the couch as he stared at the fire in the fireplace.
"Pardon me, sir. There appears to be something... wrong." J.A.R.V.I.S. spoke getting Thor's attention.
"What is thy concern, ethereal voice?"
"I have no physical evidence of this, but I believe the mansion's systems are being tampered with. I believe there is an intruder." J.A.R.V.I.S. replied as Hulk walked by.
"Come, Hulk. Let's patrol the grounds. The house believes we have an infiltrator. Perhaps if we are lucky, we will find battle this night."
Hulk just stared at him before growling as he walked over. "I don't battle, I smash! And if you talk to me again, hammer face, I'll smash you!"
"If you wish to test your mettle against an Asgardian, I'm happy to oblige." They stared at each other for a moment before Hulk turned around.
"I don't need this. I don't need anyone. Tell the others, I quit!"
"Good riddance," Thor said before hearing a beep.
"Incoming call from Pepper Potts."
Pepper came up on the screen behind the painting. "J.A.R.V.I.S. just told me Hulk just left. Thor, you have to bring him back!"
"Why would I do that?" Thor asked Pepper as he turned to face her.
"Because he's our responsibility. And with the mood he's in, he's liable to tear down the city. Please, go get him." The screen cut to black having Thor leave. Missing Enchantress appears on the couch with a smirk.
Thor flew off and dropped down in front of Hulk who was still walking. "You need to come back to Avenger's Mansion."
"Move," Hulk said walking past Thor. Only to be grabbed by the arm.
"That wasn't a request."
Stark Industries Tony, And Nick Fury.
"Officially, S.H.I.E.L.D. tolerates superheroes. But just barely. A team of super-powered vigilantes rounding up criminals makes a lot of people uneasy. I believe in what you're doing, Tony. I believe the Avengers are important. And behind the scenes, I'll do whatever it takes to help you."Fury said as Tony stared at him.
"Wow. I almost believed you there." Tony said crossing his arms. "You'll help us. When you're not manipulating us."
"You take the good with the bad."
Knock-Knock!
The two looked to the side and saw Pepper open the door. "Sorry to interrupt. But we got a problem. A big green problem."
"It's your team, hero. Deal with it."
Tony got up and pulled a monitor out of his desk. "Avengers Assemble!"
Central Park.
Shinobi landed in a crouch as he saw Iron Man in front of Thor. "Something's messing with the green guy, Kit."
Naruto heard a voice in his head before dashing over. "Hul-OOF!" Naruto was hit by the Hulk and was sent flying several acres away.
"The energy's similar to your hammer, Thor!" Iron Man said scanning Mjolnir.
"Tis dark magic. Hulk's been enchanted."
Ant-Man, in his giant form, grabbed Hulk. "I'm guessing this isn't a team trust-building exercise."
"He's being mind-controlled!" Naruto said running back as Hulk flipped Ant-Man on his back.
Thor flew over and tried to attack. Only for Hulk to dodge, and grab his cape to swing Thor around. Hulk clotheslined Iron Man as he tried to attack from behind.
"Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)!" Naruto hit Hulk in the stomach, only for Hulk to grab him as he went flying and threw Naruto away. Hulk hit Wasp and had yellow energy come off him before he gently put Wasp down.
"Pretty ladies..." Naruto said as he had swirled in his eyes and Hulk jumped away. He slowly got up and made his way to the others.
"That went well, everyone ok-!" Iron Man stopped as a double-headed ax hit his chest and put him on the ground.
"The Avengers..." Naruto turned to see Enchantress and Executioner before holding his head and hissed as a strong headache hit him. "How unimpressive. Better hope someone more capable avenges you." She said before attacking Thor.
She entranced Mjölnir to keep him from picking it up. Naruto ran to the duo, only to get hit with magic that sent him flying away.
"NOT COOOLLLL!"
"How dare you attack us, Enchantress!" Thor said before Iron Man's power came back on.
"Wait, wait, wait! You know these people, Thor?"
"Aye, the Enchantress and her Executioner. They are Asgardians." Thor replied as Enchantress rest a hand on her hip, and cocked it to the side. "Why have you come here, Amora?"
"Oh, you love Midgard so much, Thunderer. We thought we'd come and see what all the fuss is ab-OOF!" She stopped as she was tackled by Naruto into the bushes as Thor attacked the Executioner.
"That was not cool, lady!" He said as he landed on top of her, her arms pinned above her head.
She smirked before leaning up. "Oh~ I like that~," She said with a moan and grinds her crotch on his.
Naruto blushed behind his mask having Enchantress smirk, and knee him in the crotch. "OW!" Birds woke up and flew away from the trees as Naruto laid down in the fetal position. "Low blow! Literally!" She left to fight the others just as the Hulk dropped down to help.
Naruto hobbled over to the fight before seeing the Avengers dash towards the two Asgardians. Once Naruto got his wind back, he saw Thor and Iron Man attack Enchantress together, knocking her out. Naruto shook his head as he walked over.
Inside his head, a nine-tailed fox laid down, resting his head on his paws before looking over to see a door blocked with chains beside him.
"Whatever's behind that door... I hope it won't bite us in the ass." He closed his eyes, missing the door glow gold for a moment.
Outside, the Executioner took Enchantress and made a portal to escape. Thor explained that the Enchantress is an old enemy of his that wants to cause him pain before he walked up to the Hulk.
"You have won the day, friend Hulk. Truly thou are a warrior to be reckoned with. For few can resist the Enchantress's charm."
"Nothing's changed. You all thought I was a savage monster. You were going to take me down. You're no different than Ross or S.H.I.E.L.D... Except they're honest about it." Hulk said walking away.
"Hulk, come on. It's not like that." Wasp said trying to get him to stop.
"I'm done," Hulk said before jumping away.
"Give him time. He'll come around." Naruto said before the others flew off, with Ant-Man shrinking to ride a flying ant. "(Sigh) Really? Just leave the only guy who can't fly?!"
When they made it to the mansion, they missed the man in the cat costume watch them from the next building away.
Antarctic, Hulk.
Hulk let out a roar that cracked the ice around him before jumping off. As he did so, one pillar of ice broke off, revealing a circular star-spangled shield in a block of ice.
