What is this, Aida? This is Avengers: Push AU. We don't rock multiples because that's how the cookie crumbles, but we have more than enough room for badass people with equally badass canon characters. (Sidenote: If we get both a Nick and a Steve, we can just. Handwave the likeness. For ease. OR NOT, WHATEVER, I'M NOT THE BOSS OF YOU.) For, again, ease, we'll be rocking it in typical AU fashion, i.e. cannibalize bits and pieces of both canons. Primarily, S.H.I.E.L.D takes place of Division. In a world where people are born with special abilities, governments around the world carried on in their attempts to harness the gifts these people possessed — sometimes ethically, sometimes not. SHIELD functions to not only protect the United States from their own citizens' abilities but other international governments who would think to lead attacks on American soil. The agency also keeps close tabs on these gifted people, sending agents to track them down, monitor them, clean-up their messes or yes, even kill them, although that last bit isn't public knowledge. Occasionally, SHIELD's jurisdiction extends to international waters should an american citizen be involved. Enter the Avengers Initiative, a subset of SHIELD. More or less an elite task force, they deal with threats that are deemed too much for any one agent. There is, of course, an element of secrecy to this — nobody within the intiative knows that SHIELD isn't all it seems, experimenting, testing and categorizing in an attempt to harness the abilities within individuals. And there-in lies the rub. Operate the Avengers away from SHIELD's control and they risk government interference; operate within SHIELD's parameters and things get the potential to turn ugly very, very quickly, and nobody likes to find out that they might have been not saving scared children with extraordinary abilities but putting them into a cage for experimentation. Pick a side, motherfucker. |
