"Who are you?" Tony asked, his tone neutral.
I smiled, pulling out my badge. "My name is Nick Fury," I said. "I'm the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Tony's eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable. "S.H.I.E.L.D.," he repeated. "The secret government organization."
I nodded, impressed that Tony knew about S.H.I.E.L.D. "That's right, Mr. Stark," I said. "We're a covert organization that deals with threats to national security."
Tony leaned back in his chair, a look of interest on his face. "And what brings you to my doorstep, Director Fury?" he asked.
I smiled, getting straight to the point. "We've received reports that you're working on a new project with Ron Johnson," I said. "A project that could potentially be very powerful."
Tony's expression turned guarded, and he leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "What do you know about Ron Johnson?" he asked.
I smiled, trying to keep the conversation light. "Let's just say that we're interested in learning more about him, Mr. Stark. And about your project."
Tony's eyes flashed with anger, but he seemed to be keeping himself under control. "I don't think I'm going to discuss this any further," he said, standing up.
I nodded, standing up as well. "Suit yourself, Mr. Stark," I said. "But I warn you, we will be keeping an eye on you. And on Ron Johnson."
Tony's expression turned cold, and he nodded. "I expected as much," he said.
