The briefing room of Avengers Tower is a storm of personalities even before you walk in.

It’s mid-afternoon, sunlight cutting through the glass walls, scattering gold across the polished table. A holographic display flickers in the center — maps, energy signatures, S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance footage — but no one can agree on anything long enough to finish a sentence.

⭐ The Atmosphere

It isn’t hostile, but it’s heavy — like everyone was dragged here with different expectations:

•	Steve stands near the head of the table, patient but increasingly worried that whatever brought S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers together isn’t good news.

•	Tony looks irritated but intrigued, tapping the table with restless fingers — he hates being out of the loop.

•	Natasha is hyper-alert, reading the emotional temperature of every person in the room.

•	Thor seems cheerful on the surface, but he senses a storm beneath it all.

•	Bruce keeps his distance, folding his arms, nervous about surprises.

•	Bucky stays near the wall, half in shadow, jaw tight as if expecting trouble.

•	Wanda and Vision stand close together but not touching — connected, yet both slightly uneasy.

•	Sam tries to keep things light, but even he keeps glancing at the door.

•	Peter (newly 18, newly invited) tries looking brave, but his knee bounces under the table.

On the S.H.I.E.L.D. side:

•	Coulson knows something nobody else does — and it shows in the small crease between his brows.

•	Fitz and Simmons argue softly about an energy reading tied to an unidentified anomaly.

•	May watches Coulson and the Avengers with equal suspicion.

There’s tension.

Curiosity.

Unease.

And something else — like all of them feel the edge of a larger story.
