The Avengers had a few days to go over the intel that Tony Stark and Captain America provided. It had been a time to rest and recuperate from any injuries sustained on their last mission.

The quiet was about to be shattered.

Alarms went off all over the flying airship. They were under attack by the forces of the Red Skull and the Skeleton Crew. Each member was on a flying platform with ten other troops, all armed with laser weapons and swords.

Quinn left two cases of Irish beer on Casey's bed and a note that said 'Happy Birthday, Irish' on it. Everyone deserved a little something on their birthday and beer was the best gift of all. Quinn just hoped Casey would share.

Their first planned shopping trip had been a disaster. Not the end of the world type of disaster, but enough of one to qualify as a disaster. Now that they had been home for a short while, Irina grabbed Lyta for another shopping trip. This one, however, would be in New Orleans. No teleporting or portals involved what so ever.

Shopping was an active sport and it required drinks and food. There was a pause from the day's activity to grab some food and a few drinks in the French Quarter. Irina let Lyta pick the place and within no time they were seated and cooling off with some potent drinks.

"The best part about shopping," Irina said with a grin before she downed her shot of vodka.

Nick Fury stood in the three story high bridge of the Helicarrier. The massive flying ship was stationed just outside the border of Latveria. Metal Face was stirring up trouble, or so they were led to believe. Vernard was considerate enough to keep SHIELD in the loop to what was going on, but Nick had his own intelligence on the situation at hand.

He had to keep this from getting out of hand and from spreading.

He turned away from the large screens.

"Listen up ya yahoos," he said in a booming voice. "I want SHIELD forces all around Latveria, Wakanda, Genosha, and Atlantis. Stay outside the respective borders, but I don't want this spreadin' anywhere else. Get our forces movin'."

A chorus of 'Yes sir' echoed in the expansive bridge.

It would stretch SHIELD a little thin elsewhere, but containment was a priority.
