Chapter 165: Better Luck Next Time
Nick Fury's meeting with the council didn't go as planned. Fury only knew that the SHIELD was compromised but he didn't know who the members of Hydra were.
In the end, the council unanimously decided to nuke New York. Foolishly thinking that it would stop the aliens. They had also planned that the whole mass murder would be forgotten in the name of heroes sacrificing themselves.
The council was only formed to oversee the SHIELD but they had overstepped their authority. Without Fury's approval, no such strike could be made. But Fury underestimated their influence and the two jets took off from Helicarrier.
Fury was angry but happy inside because of what Alexander had planned. Fury quickly sent the recording of the meeting to various news channels.
Alexander's people made sure that the council was shown in a wrong light and the SHIELD was shown as the good guys who brought the heroes together. In the end, all the blame would be taken by corrupt politicians.
Fury quickly called Alexander and informed him, "Sir, the nukes are headed to you."
"Alright, I'll take care of them. Don't worry." Alexander replied.
...
Alexander had already stopped more Chitauries from entering with his net over the portal. But to others' surprise, he had stopped them from closing the portal.
