"If you know he's that dangerous, why haven't you taken him out?" Harry asked.
"Do you think that thought hadn't cross our minds? The truth is, we don't know how to take him out. We're not even sure if we can contain him. The military has lost a lot of good men and women going after this guy. Every time they go after him, he turns into that… thing and destroys everything in his path. For the time being, we're merely watching him, until we can come up with a solution to contain him."
Harry paused as he took this in. He tightened his right hand into a fist before opening it again and placing it down on the table.
"We call the green guy, the big guy… Hulk." Nick Fury said.
"What can you tell me about the Hulk?" Harry asked.
"Only that anyone who has ever crossed his path has had a ninety-nine percent chance of dying. Many have broken bodies and some may never walk again. We're not sure what we can do against him."
Something told Harry that this Hulk was merely misunderstood. That he was dangerous, but soft. Harry wasn't sure what was making him think that, even more so as it hadn't acted up before when he planned to kill him.
"So why did you follow me? For two years, I've done nothing to warrant your suspicions. I never made contact with anyone, just traveled and saw places as a simple teenager sight-seeing the world." Harry asked.
"We know almost nothing about you. Nothing! Almost everyone in this world has a profile on them. The truth was, you did appear as a normal teenager. However, you have…" Fury paused as if he was choosing his next words carefully. "... remarkable skills at vanishing. If it wasn't for CCTVs at airports we would have never found you again. Not to mention your vast wealth also raised red flags, as we didn't know where you got the gold from in the first place. S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't like unanswered questions. We try to understand things and try to control them to the best of our ability."
"Maybe that's the problem." Harry said slowly. Fury looks at Harry carefully with his one good eye. "Everyone wants to control something, believing that they could benefit in some way by controlling something. That is an arrogance of man that will one day be our downfall. Some things are not meant to be controlled, just as you're not supposed to control a river's current. It's best to wash alongside it and use its powers as your own. For one, I have no desire to submit to another. If you wish to make me your enemy, then fine, make me your enemy. I will hit you with everything I've got." Harry said in a growingly heated voice.
"I hope it doesn't come to that. For your information, had we gotten the necessary information out of you, we would've left you alone. Or at least, requested a meeting because of your vanishing act. You have skills, ones that I cannot deny would be a great asset to S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What are you saying?" Harry asked.
"I'm offering you a job. A paying job. You'll get free training, room, board, and food. You would have a career and could travel as much as you want." Fury said, smirking.
Harry tapped the table with his hands spread out, spinning the picture in front of him every time he did so.
"What's the catch?" Harry asked.
"That catch," Fury repeated as he lost his smirk. "Basically, it means you have to do whatever I say for the rest of your life."
Harry leaned back and took this in.
"Sorry, I'm not that kind of person. No offense, but I'm done with following orders. I want to be my own man, set my own path. I'm not the kind of person who can follow orders for the rest of his life." Harry said.
Nick Fury sighed. It was an answer that he was expecting.
"Let me ask you this, then, if S.H.I.E.L.D. has need of you, will you help us?" Nick Fury asked.
"Depends. If you're honest with me about the situation, then yeah, I'll help. Just don't use me. I've been a pawn before and I didn't like it." Harry answered.
"So, we have an agreement." Nick Fury said, satisfied.
"We do if you tell the snipers to stand down." Harry said, amused.
Nick Fury looked at him for a brief moment, shocked. He quickly recovered and he nodded his head.
"I'll return back what I stole. Though, I suspect you'll be handing me information on individuals who need to be taken care of." Harry said as he got up.
"Coulson will be in touch with you whenever we need something handled. I trust you'll stay out of trouble." Nick Fury said, hinting.
"If there is one thing I've learned, trouble has a funny way of finding me." Harry said in amusement.
"Ain't that the truth. So, you'll be an consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D. This will also keep political parties off of you in case you run into any trouble."
"I can work with that." Harry said as he got up and shook Nick Fury's hand. He then turned and walked out, mounting his motorcycle, and riding off.
Nick Fury smiled. He hadn't had to use his gun after all.
