Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, "the District", or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States.

History
In 2011, Tony Stark was called to Washington to appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee’s Weaponized Suit Defense Program Hearings. Though Senator Stern demanded from Stark to turn the Iron Man suit over to the military, Stark refused. After the battle of New York, Captain America settled in Washington, D.C.

After Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury asked World Security Council Secretary Alexander Pierce to postpone Project Insight, he was involved in a pitched battle in the streets of D.C. against HYDRA agents and the Winter Soldier.

The World Security Council came to Washington, D.C. in order to launch Project Insight, but it was stopped by Captain America, Falcon, and Maria Hill as Black Widow posted online all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secret intelligence. Subsequently, the Triskelion was destroyed by one of the Helicarriers, and Senate hearings were held that ultimately labelled S.H.I.E.L.D. as a terrorist organization.

After Maria Hill left a Senate hearing concerning the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., she was approached by Melinda May concerning her knowledge of Project T.A.H.I.T.I. and who was its leader.
