“I think [Natasha teaming up with Tony] was unexpected even for us but as we talked about it from a storytelling point of view, it really made sense because I think Black Widow is more pragmatic than we give her credit for. And sometimes she’s looking at the solutions from a different angle thanTony Stark, who’s very emotional. Even though they don’t react to the same things, in the same way, their conclusion that they came to ended up being the same.” — Nate Moor, executive producer of CA:CW
Natasha wasn’t sure what would happen next. Where they would go, what they would do.
But she was sure of one thing: She would follow Steve to the ends of the Earth if he asked her to. She trusted him as a partner, and as a friend. No matter who opposed them, even if it was the very people they were sworn to protect, they would be at each other’s side. (x)
Nick Fury is the security advisor to SHIELD Corporation and CEO Alexander Pierce’s best friend. When Pierce informs him of a potential take-over due to stolen plans and secrets from the company, Fury comes up with the idea of stealing them back. He gathers exceptional people from the unspoken fields to form a unique team of cons led by Captain Rogers, a good man out for revenge from Hydra International for his past. When Fury discovers a dangerous twist to SHIELD’s situation, he is taken out and the team he brought together is put in danger. In the face of threat, this team of loners and cons decides to fight back. To con those who conned them. One win leads to the idea of doing more and the cons decide to use their skills for something more than just money. They decide to avenge those who have been conned by the powerful. They decide to be the Avengers – criminals with an essence of justice.After all, a little re-con hurt only those who deserved to be hurt, right?
I told you all that I would do an Avengers version of Leverage 😛
