Do not worry however, he has been programmed to believe any connection in your home is ultimately secure. He will probably require a few items that you aren't legally able to get your hands on as well, and so he will find other means to equip his quarters and requires only the bare minimum.
You may in fact, should you want to, opt to house him in something as basic as a cargo container in your backyard, as long as it is secure and has power.
it is quite possible that the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit will claim other rooms as his own in case workload gets high and he needs a meeting office or other such things. Indulge him while it lasts, he will give the room back to you once the current mission is over with (usually).

He will spend the first few hours setting things up how he likes them, securing his weapons and making sure the eye patch has been polished before he will inspect the surroundings including introducing himself to you. Note that he has been given your personal file beforehand and will know all about you (and whomever you may live with) that is available via the internet (at times through not so legal means).
THE Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ UNIT'S MODES:
I've-had-it-with-you-@£¤%-idiots-mode: This is the default mode for your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit and also the mode that it will shift into whenever one of the other modes expires their maximum use time. In this mode the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit will plot and execute plans from the shadows to keep the world safe. You may not see much to your unit while he is in this mode, as he will be very busy, however a few times every day you can expect him to show up in common areas of your household to sigh and complain about imbeciles. The more you can assist him in everything that needs doing, the more you will be included in everything that goes on in the shadows. This is the best mode for bonding in a way that makes the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit respect you deeply.
Obsessive-@£¤%-boy-band-collector-mode: This mode offers a Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit that (almost) constantly utters the phrase "Have you heard about the Avenger Initiative?" whenever he encounters a new Avengers unit, and possibly also to random strangers that he finds interesting. In this mode the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit can be compared to a crazed toy collector, desperately trying to complete his collection by browsing stores and strees.

@£¤%-hobo-life-mode: In this mode your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit will neglect his usual S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform and instead hang around in his hobo outfit. Do not expect, however, that he will be lazy or okay with living in a cardboard box on the street. While he may seem unassuming as he snacks on donuts, watches TV, makes burn barrels (outside), takes walks in the park and is generally 'low-profile', he is anything but. Expect your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit to return from this mode with a lot of new plans that needs to be carried out as soon as possible.

For a time you will be the most important thing of all for your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit and he will forego any S.H.I.E.L.D. missions and meetings for as long as this mode lasts - which is usually from a few hours to a few days. While in this mode you can expect your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit to intercept any trouble coming your way and eliminating it before you even notice it, perfect for handling parents, teachers, bosses and catcallers. He will also stare at you fondly and praise you plenty, at times perhaps even pat your head lightly and tell you that you've been a good girl or boy.
NOTEABLE COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER UNITS OF THE S.H.I.E.L.D. EXCLUSIVES 2014 SERIES
The Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is a unique unit as it has history with almost all our other units. Because of this you can expect interesting results from almost any other unit interacting with it, but to elaborate on what you can expect, we’ve listed the units the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit has the most interesting results with.
True Hero Agent Phil Coulson™: The Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit has a strange kind of affection for this unit and will support and protect it at all costs (without coddling it). The honest and truly good nature of the True Hero Agent Phil Coulson™ unit has impressed the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit so much, that it will call upon it for mission walkthroughs, de-briefing and planning. This unit is what comes the closest to a true friend to your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit.
Damn Fine Ass Hawkeye Clint Barton™: This is one of the very few Avengers units that the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit actually "likes". Given that the Damn Fine Ass Hawkeye Clint Barton™ unit has a background as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent before becoming an Avenger, this is also one of the few units your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit trusts. Their relationship will be mostly like an employee and a valued boss, but at times you may even see traits of the @£¤%-mother-hen-mode towards the little archer unit.
Deadly-Sexy Black Widow Natasha Romanoff™: Your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit highly values this unit and respects her for both her very specific skill set and her will to survive what most would wish to not live through. Most of the time the interaction between these two units will be highly professional and impersonal, to the point. Contrary to the Damn Fine Ass Hawkeye Clint Barton™ unit, the Deadly-Sexy Black Widow Natasha Romanoff™ unit will not take kindly to the @£¤%-mother-hen-mode, and it is not recommended to force such an interaction. @£¤%-hobo-life-mode however may result in the Deadly-Sexy Black Widow Natasha Romanoff™ joining in on the burn barrel building and laid back outfits.
Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist Iron Man Tony Stark™: Your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit has a very complicated relation with this unit, ranging from supportive to downright having a hissy fit as the Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist Iron Man Tony Stark™ unit tends to be very sarcastic and provoking. It is highly recommended to keep your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit in Obsessive-@£¤%-boy-band-collector-mode while meeting with this unit, so they don't end up trying to kill each other.
Oozing Masculinity Captain America Steve Rogers™: While your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit will be very friendly towards this unit, the Oozing Masculinity Captain America Steve Rogers™ unit may be a little more reserved in his opinion of your unit. They interact as one commander to another, both merely taking care of what they perceive as the best interest of the people around them. While they respect each other for this part, your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit may get frustrated that this unit likes to take tasks on head first instead of sticking to the more secretive solutions.
SPECIAL NOTE ON ALL AVENGER UNITS
As mentioned previously, your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is as happy with all the Avengers units as he is unhappy. It's a very complicated relationship and everything mostly depends on the mission at hand. Usually they come to an accord that both parties can accept, but you may have to deal with a lot of grumbling and hissy fits during the negotiation period.
SPECIAL NOTE ON ALL S.H.I.E.L.D. UNITS
Overall all S.H.I.E.L.D. units will blindly obey orders from your Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit, and as such your unit will have a peaceful relationship with all of them. Despite being sort of emotionally stunted, the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is actually very beloved amongst all of the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
SPECIAL NOTE ON ALL VILLIAN NOTES
Given the nature of the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit, you can never expect a positive outcome between it and a villain unit of any series. Except for all the glorious banter after the villain has been incarcerated, of course.
MAINTENANCE:
Since the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is actually quite paranoid, it prefers to create all of its meals itself until you have been established as a trusted food source. After this the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit will come to expect food at precisely 5.30, 11.30 and 20.00 (he works in military time, there is no am or pm in a day, only 0-2400 hours).
Despite being one of the 'oldest' units in our repertoire, the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is perfectly capable of handling all his sanitary needs without assistance, including shaving that lovely orb of his, but extended time for toilet breaks should be expected. If you aim to please, you may wish to keep a 'funny toilet humor' book in the bathroom.
As with most of our S.H.I.E.L.D. units, the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit does not require much from you in form of entertainment or any kind of upkeep, but if you wish to keep him happy you should show your support in him maintaining his S.H.I.E.L.D. related business, politely accept and agree with him on politicians being inept, the world being insane and the avengers a bunch of undisciplined teenagers. Sharing this point of view may be a good way to start a friendly relationship with the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit.
THINGS NOT TO DO WITH YOUR Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™UNIT:
Never ever even think about trying to get into his personal room. This will be off limits for anyone but the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit itself. Any attempt at forcing entry may end violently or with you send to a glass prison until you've learned your lesson (magazines will be provided upon request).
As the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is not entirely young, he may at times take power naps wherever he pleases. It is of uttermost importance that you never succumb to the urge to draw 'funny' pictures on his person, and especially not on the eye-patch! He can and will use his blackmail material against you in most horrible ways, and if you are still going to any kind of school , he may influence or even infiltrate whomever is in charge of grading you.
If you're lucky enough to land a job as his assistant during a meeting, don't ever (try to) embarrass him in it. The Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is very big on the whole authority figure thing and you undermining him will negatively influence your relationship. Never, ever, laugh at a joke make by one of the Avengers at the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit's expense. However feel free to stare at them like they are being childish.
Never say anything bad about the True Hero Agent Phil Coulson™ unit while the Boy Band Assembling @£¤% Nick Fury™ unit is within hearing distance. Just don't. You won't like the result.
