Premise

Plot
Clint Barton is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., a government agency that polices greater threats in the shadows. Barton, an expert archer, begins to be overshadowed as the world adjusts to "enhanced individuals", humans with abilites. Barton, along with his longtime partner, Bobbi Morse, and fellow agents Sharon Carter and Greg Mitchell, are being placed into the Mobile Command Unit, a travelling unit of agents led by Deputy Director Maria Hill. They also answer to a council of S.H.I.E.L.D. officers made up of Director Nick Fury, Second Level Director Alexander Pierce, and high-ranking officers Victoria Hand and John Brant. Barton's brother, David Barton is also oblivious to his secret life. Mitchell is killed by a terrorist on their first mission. The MCU goes on several missions throughout the world, all the while sticking to the commands of Fury and the Council. However, it is soon revealed that Advanced Idea Mechanics, or A.I.M., a seemingly harmless research project, is behind many of the attacks that the MCU has gone up against. It is also revealed that Brant is one of the leading agents in A.I.M. The MCU manages to expose A.I.M.'s doings and Brant is killed in action. As a result of uncovering A.I.M., S.H.I.E.L.D. assigns the MCU a new task, one in which they will stay in New York City to fight off the threats there.
