Nick Fury
for Nick Fury in Venom Beyond Darkness: Episode 3
Suggested by vadim_havard
The episode opens with Phil Coulson and Maria Hill sitting at a table as Nick Fury walks in furious that they let the symbiote be stolen by a simple breach. Phil tries to explain that they made sure the lab was secure and they don't know how anyone could have broken in let alone take anything. Fury tells them he doesn't want to hear excuses and is ending out a team led by a S.H.I.E.L.D agent codenamed Quake. Maria requests to be put on the team but is denied. After Fury leaves Maria suggests to Phil that they go and try to get the symbiote back themselves. Phil says it's a stupid idea but when Maria leaves Phil decides to go with her. After hours of trying to find the symbiote by going through the security cameras finding it seems hopeless until they see in the corner of the camera a man with the Hydra logo on his jacket leaving through the ventilation system. We cut to Phil trying to crawl through the vents while Maria walks along the hallway above them. About to give up Phil spots an open exit that leads to the room holding the quinjet but when they get into the room the quinjet is gone. They manage to get access to a regular jet and follow the tracking device that was in the quinjet. Once they get to the location the tracking system told them to go, they find a warehouse but as they're entering it three Hydra agents appear behind them and tell them they shouldn't have come here.
