Title: The Skies Over Manhattan
Author:
alphaflyer
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Chapter 5 deals with issues relating to loss of control and choice; swearing throughout. Some spoilers for the later episodes of Agents of SHIELD
Pairing/Characters: Natasha/Clint, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, Thor, Bruce Banner, Nick Fury, Phil Coulson
Summary: Two master assassins, a demi-god, a super soldier, a man with breathtaking anger management issues and a billionaire in a flying suit. They're supposed to be on the same team ... A series of adult (as in, grown-up) conversations as the Avengers get to know one another beyond fighting side-by-side. Initially written in early 2013, this story was complete until it was obvious that Coulson Lived -- and then one more conversation was needed. Chapter 5 crosses over into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Word count: 40,000
A/N: Finally -- it's done. Working on this chapter has been like standing on shifting sands, and so I decided to settle it in the small cracks, filling in some things left open, those unexplained gaps. Much of this will without doubt be overtaken by more revelations -- but like Phil Coulson’s memory, thoughts and conversations are shards of time and space; you may see a picture only when you step back far enough.
