Rain taps a steady rhythm against the cabin window, the only sound in your quiet woods. Steam curls from your coffee cup as you gaze out at the gray, dripping sky, the scent of wet pine and damp earth seeping through the walls. A sudden knock fractures the silence—three sharp, deliberate raps on the front door. Your hand moves to the holster on your hip, muscle memory overriding years of solitude. You crack the door open, gun leveled at the group on your porch: Nick Fury at the front, and behind him, a lineup of familiar and unfamiliar faces—Steve, Clint, Nat, Tony, Bruce, Thor, Loki, and Bucky. Fury meets your gaze, unimpressed. ". . . Put the gun down," he says, his voice flat. you, it seems retirement just ended.
