Stepping out David took off to the sky.
The streets were relatively quiet.
Unnervingly quiet.
Work had not been affected but there was a feeling of solemnness and uncertainty around everybody David flew by.
His eyes following Natasha who seemed to have been trying to make sure no one followed her.
After going through a few alleys she got into a black Suv with Clint Barton in the drivers seat.
"Your early, I was expecting to wait here all night" Clint joked but Natasha was silent.
As he began driving he noticed how silent she was being and just had to ask.
"So what happened" He asked glancing at her through the rear view mirror.
"My cover was blown, that's what happened" Natasha said causing Clint to go silent.
The car drove for about 20 minutes in silence before it arrived at a ordinary office looking building.
They both stepped out of the car and walked into the building.
David meanwhile had been stealthily floating, his eyes scanning the entire building as he looked for Nick, who he very quickly found at the top floor.
Floating towards the floor, David arrived at the Window to Nick's office.
Nick was calmly sitting there doing some work, facing the laptop, unbothered by what was going on behind him.
David knocked on the window causing Nick to get slightly startled for about a partial second before he pulled out a gun and quickly turned around.
Nick's singular eye dilated as he saw David floating there in his suit.
"Can you open the window" David's muffled voice came through the window.
"What?" Fury felt slightly confused, not understanding what was going on for a second before he realized what David wanted him to do.
Still I a daze Nick spoke.
"Uh, They don't open!" Nick's voice clear as if there was no obstruction between them reached David's ears.
David couldn't help but sigh, his body moving forward, he just moved through the glass which broke as if it required no effort.
Nick stepped a few steps back, with the gun in hand, looking at David.
"Superman! to what do I owe the pleasure" Nick asked with a friendly smile, his finger on the glock's trigger.
"Your ship attacked me today" David said as he floated closer to Nick.
"Well, you know, it's more complicated then that" Nick said with a chuckle.
"Hey, don't worry" David smiled a little and patted Nicks shoulder as he stopped floating and landed on the ground.
"I believe you have closed down operations?"
"Yes, this is related to the Helicarrier incident" Nick said
"But how do you..." As Nick was asking David interrupted Nick.
"Well, I just want you to know that I'm not here for you, I know it was Hydra's work behind this"
Fury looked a little confused for a second.
"I was never part of Hydra Fury, and that's why I am here"
"What do you mean?"
"I want you to tell everyone you can that Subject SS was not some creation of Hydra, I don't wish to continue being insulted like that" David said completely serious, with underlying threat in his tone.
"I also want you to provide me the list of people directly involved with Subject SS operations" David said and stepped back a little.
"That is all, here is a phone, I will call when I want you to give me the list" David said as he handed Nick the phone.
"Yea okay" Nick nodded.
"By the way, Project paper clip was such a bad move" David said a little of his own thoughts to Nick.
David could tell that Nick was not happy at all about what he was doing here.
So he decided to offer something to Nick in return.
"I will provide a list of all Hydra agents hidden within Shield in exchange for all of that" David said causing Nick to be noticeably stunned.
"How?" Nick asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Ah, well that's not something I wish to share" David simply said as he floated of the ground and disappeared out of the window leaving a cold gust of wind.

At this time, A Nervous Drake was making his way over to the Arctic.
The location, David was last spotted before he flew away and was bombarded with Missiles.
Drake at first didn't know how he would find Superman, but then he noticed that he was at the Arctic for some reason.
There had to be a reason, Drake thought to himself and decided to take a gamble.
Maybe David would come here giving Dr. Drake the opportunity to meet David.
Or he would simply waste his time.
He was desperate this point, the four symbiotes that he had exhausted his efforts to obtain disappeared inexplicably.
According to basic deduction, they must have been obtained by David.
There was simply no other way to explain the perfectly circular hole in the glass yet the room was not damaged and all of the data had some how managed to be wiped?
Coincidences simply failed to explain it.

Nick Fury was stood there in silence facing the cold night outside with the empty sky and a moon for a few seconds before a knock on the door resounded.
"Sir, we are back" Clint said.
"Yes come in" Nick said as he snapped out of his daze and hid the phone and gun away and began making his way to his chair.
Nick was just about done sitting when the door opened and Clint and Natasha walked in.
"Sir, why is the window broken?" Clint asked.
"I wanted some fresh air" Nick said solemnly.
"Why not just open the window?" Clint asked as Nick felt a vein pop up in his head.
"What is your report Agent Widow?" Nick asked ignoring Clint's question.
"My cover has been blown" Natasha said as she stepped forward.
Nick casually glanced at her but then glanced at her again.
"Are you not feeling well?" Nick asked.
"I.. have been feeling a little off recently" Natasha replied, feeling a little uncertain.
"Very well, take a paid leave" Nick said.
"Clint, pick out candidates you absolutely trust within Shield, we will soon be getting rid of these Hydra scum from Shield" Nick said.
"Actually, you know what, I think I'm fine" Natasha said when she heard what Nick just said.
"No I believe a vacation after so long will do you good" Nick said causing Natasha to go silent.
"You, don't trust me?" Natasha asked with a frown.
"What!" Nick said.
"Your my most trusted agents, that's why your here" Nick seriously replied.
