Arthur's house.
POV Arthur
I was lying on my bed, after my first day of school. It had been fun, though. I wish I'd brought my football, we could have played. Met two interesting shots with very familiar names. Eugene "Flash" Thompson and Peter Parker. I don't know how I remember those names, but I don't. It was a fun gang.
end POV
Arthur was lying on the bed in his room with his eyes closed. Abruptly he heard a knock on the door and opened his eyes, sitting up. Chestnut quietly opened the door and walked out of the room, heading for the stairs.
«Arthur!!! Open the door please, but before you do, ask who's there! - Aria shouted from the bathroom.
«Okay! - Shouted Evans.
The paraplegic ran to the door.
«Who's there!!! - He asked.- Sorry, kid, is your mum home? - Asked someone at the door.
«'Yes,' replied Arthur.
«Can you open the door?
«And I don't know you, so I won't open the door - said the chestnut, sitting down cross-legged.
«Well, that's right, and when your mum comes? - he asked.
«Well... We've got an hour or two.... - Evans answered, looking towards the bathtub.
«Can you tell me if the one-eyed man is calling?
«Well, if I can get a shout - the fallen man ran towards the bathtub.
POV Arthur
Okay, wait... The one-eyed man? I turned to the door. That's what it turns out to be... Nick Fury? That's a hell of a thing to say. What's the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. doing here? Well, it's none of my business. At least I hope it is. I've quietly moved on.
end POV
Chestnut stood at the bathtub from where the sound of the shower could already be heard.
«Maaaaam!" he shouted.
«What?" asked Aria, straight from the shower.
«Your name! - said Arthur.
«And who is calling?
«The One-Eyed Man - answered the trainee and then something fell in the bathtub.
Immediately after that there was the sound of a hairdryer, a comb and something else fell. She got out of the shower, dressed in a red t-shirt, white trousers and black slippers. Her hair was tied up with a towel.
«Who called? - Mum asked.
«O-one-eyed... - replied Arthur.
«I'm going to make him eyeless.... - the brown-haired girl went to the kitchen and came out with a frying pan.
«Japonah mother... - Evans said.
The paratrooper only clapped his eyes and followed her. Aria hid the pan behind her back and opened the door. Standing on the doorstep was Nick Fury.
«Hi Aria, I hope I got here on time? - he asked.
«One-Eyed, what are you doing here? - The brown-haired girl smiled nervously, hiding her hand with the frying pan behind her back.
«I need to talk," the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director replied, then noticed Arthur. - Is that your son? He looks like you.
«Hello," Arthur nodded.
«Arthur, go upstairs, I'll call you if anything happens, I need to talk to Uncle Nick - Aria turned to her son without showing Fury the frying pan.
«А... Yeah - the chestnut boy nodded once more and headed upstairs.
He stopped at the railing and started listening.
«What do you want? - Aria asked.
«To talk about some details of one of your missions - answered Nick.
«You mean you have to disturb my quiet life because of that? - Evans showed the pan and started to iron it.
«Don't hit me, you're stronger than a heavyweight boxer," said the one-eyed man.
«I can break my head in half with a frying pan if I hit it with a rib," she said, putting the weapon on his shoulder. - Do you want me to show you?
«Don't... - he replied.
Arthur sat back and covered his mouth with his hand, holding back laughter. They make Nick Fury himself afraid.
«Come in, I'll pour you some coffee," Aria put the frying pan on her shoulder and headed for the kitchen. - Close the door!
Nick went in, closing the door. Evans, on the other hand, ran and picked up a radio-controlled robot with a camera and recorder. The brown-haired man quietly went downstairs, set the robot down and went back upstairs. He directed the robot and watched through the webcam what the robot saw. The robot quietly walked towards the kitchen and stopped with the camera pointed at the kitchen. Then pressed a button with a voice recorder.
«And what do you want, one-eyed? - Aria asked, putting the kettle on and picking up a glass of lemonade.
«'Mission Sigma,' Fury replied.
The brown-haired girl almost choked, then set the glass down.
«And what are you interested in? - She asked.
«Everything in great detail - the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. answered.
«I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I'm sorry, but-- - at this point, Nick pulled out the note and set it on fire.
The brown-haired girl's jaw dropped.
«Now, it's not valid," he replied.
«'But I simply can't talk about it,' she said, taking out her coffee and pouring it into a mug.
«But the country needs it.
«I don't give a shit! - Aria shouted. - I'm not an agent anymore, I'm just a programmer and web designer! And I'm also a loving mum, so if anything comes out it'll probably affect me or my son, so drink your coffee and leave! - the brown-haired woman put the mug down.
«'I didn't want to bring it to this, but Sigma might come back...' - Nicholas replied, taking the mug.
Just then, the brown-haired woman flinched. She turned around, exhaling.
«'Not here, then,' Evans replied. - Finished it?
«Yes.
«Go - Aria pointed towards the exit.
«Thanks for the coffee - he got up and headed for the exit.
Arthur steered the robot away from the door and round the corner. Nick, on the other hand, left, slamming the door shut. Aria, meanwhile, sat down in a chair, leaning her head back. Her son left the remote and went downstairs, then walked towards the kitchen. The brown-haired woman looked at him, after which she smiled. Arthur walked over to her and Aria hugged him.

Arthur sat in his room and watched the robot recording on his tablet.
«Now, what's this? - he zoomed in on the image, noticing something.
In Fury's hand under the table was a tape recorder.
«You sly arse... - said, then pulled out an instant-print camera.
The brown-haired man took a picture of the recorder and Fury from the screen. After that, he pulled out a marker board from under the bed and stuck on some duct tape. Next, he started writing something with the marker.
