New Triskelion, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new headquarters, was a circular complex of three slightly tilted high-tech towers surrounding a massive reactor at the center, like a flower bud waiting to bloom.
The three inclined high-tech towers were connected in the air by a multilayered, three-dimensional structure. Anyone unfamiliar with the route could easily get lost within the enormous, intricate, winding complex.
A trail of sonic-boom clouds streaked across the sky. Wearing the Nano Armor, Tony Stark flew in from the other side of the blue sky, faint thruster flames emerging from his arms and feet. He tore through the sonic cloud trail, a sonic skirt forming beneath his waist, then swung his limbs slightly forward and came to an abrupt stop above the helipad of Triskelion Building One before slowly descending.
Agent Hill had been waiting there already. Dressed in crisp black tactical gear, she stepped forward through the fierce wind kicked up by Tony Stark's sudden stop and guided him inside. "Mr. Stark, please come with me. This meeting is being held in the central conference hall of New Triskelion."
"Are they all here?" Tony Stark hovered down onto the helipad. His faceplate automatically contracted into nanoparticles, and his sleek, form-fitting armor split apart to either side like a surging swarm of ants, flowing into the gaps in his clothes and revealing him in a sharp suit.
"Dr. Banner, Clint, and Natasha have already arrived at the conference hall," Hill replied, gesturing for Tony Stark to follow her.
Tony Stark followed behind Hill, his eyes casually sweeping over the newly completed Building One of New Triskelion. His expression remained neutral as he asked, "Where's Nick? I haven't seen him in a long time."
"The Director keeps many secrets and never tells us where he is. He'll appear when needed," Hill replied
