Shark in the Water (open)

The night was cold and yet so inviting to the escaped convict. Mike Box wasn't afraid of getting caught. He just planned to use his powers and escape again. But with the Brotherhood on his side, the police wouldn't want to mess with him. Being a mutant had been pretty awesome compared to life before. Now, he didn't have to face the consequences of his actions. That meant no matter what he did, he'd get away with it. And that kind of power felt great in his hands.

So now he was walking in Central Park, scouting for any young women who might be lonely. In all actuality, he was looking for a teenager specifically. Innocent, shy, quiet. That'd be great. Dressed in a white tank and some cargo shorts with a large black jacket over it, he searched the park for a trace of anyone worth risking his time for. During all this thought, he didn't realize someone walking in his line of travel. And before he could do anything about it, he walked right into them. Looking over, he put his hands up in a nice gesture.

"Oh sorry, didn't mean to hit ya."

Steve had been called to an old Barbershop that he had actually been to as a young adult, many times, before getting into Project: Rebirth years ago. It was now one of many SHIELD meeting sites around the world. While he wasn't exactly sure why Nick Fury chose this particular shop, he knew that Nick took plenty of measures to make sure no one would discover this place or disturb them, most notable were the holographic generators that made the outside look condemned and dangerous to enter, while two SHIELD telepaths kept up barriers that even Jean Grey and Professor Xavire would have had trouble getting past. for a short while, anyway. As soon as the barriers where up, Nick felt comfortable enough to speak.

"I'm sorry for just calling you here without an explanation Steve, but I didn't want anyone else getting wind of this little meeting, here. I assume you have been debriefed about a group of mutants, calling themselves the Brotherhood?" Nick had been following Magneto and his group for years, ever since he broke away from the X-Men. While he liked and trusted Xavire and his team, Nick feared his former friendship with Magneto would cause him to pull his punches and as a result, he wouldn't deal with him, as harshly as Nick felt he deserved. After all, Magneto had been involved in the death of a United States Senator, his aide, and several attacks on the US itself. No, despite his respect, he didn't trust the man to deal with this. "Yes sir. Agent Carter has briefed me on them, as well as the X-Men."

"Good, then you know the danger they represent, aswell as the need to bring them down, by any means necessary, which is one of the reasons SHIELD has formed this new team. We have been keeping tabs on several of their key members, and some not so key, like this man, Micheal Box." Steve said nothing, as a full sized image of the subject appeared on the wall, aswell as all the information he felt Steve needed to know about him. It basically listed his abilities, age, height, and weight, as well as any known weakness he had. "I have ordered the local police to leave him to us, as I feel he may be useful as a snitch. I want you to make contact with him, and bring him in if possible. If you are unable to do that, I want him taken out."

Steve sat on a bench in the park, wearing a black wife-beater and running shorts, thinking about what Nick had told him. He was a little uneasy with the thought of the Avengers being used in a manner like this, even though he was a soldier and use to killing his opponents, he didn't like the idea of being a hired gun for anyone. His train of thought was broken, when he heard a voice from the two-way communicator in his right ear. "Subject has been spotted, and is making his way toward you." Steve sighed, saying nothing, and stood up to walk towards the target, when Micheal collided with another man, knocking him to the ground. "Oh sorry, didn't mean to hit ya." Seeing his opening, Steve reached into the pocket of his shorts and pulled out what appeared to be a small canister of breath spray, which was in actuality was a chemical designed to stun some one for about ten seconds, long enough for him to get Micheal into a waiting SHIELD van, were agents were waiting to put a neural collar on him, and transport him to the Helicarrier. As he approached the two men, he quickly sprayed it at Micheal's face.
