Wargames 2: Harbinger

Summary: Instead of being thrown back to the correct time, Harry has found himself thrown further into the future. Now stuck deep in space, He has become the prime suspect in a serious incident.

Pairing: Harry/Jadzia Dax

Notice: this may upset some people but it has to be said: Screw my Red Alert crossover sequel. I'm going back to where I should have gone, the Wargames series was first and foremost a Star Trek crossover and I can't get the other timeline to work right so I'm retconning this one to be the next part.

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek DS9 or Harry Potter or any other refrences that you may recognise they each belong to their respective owners.

Chapter 1: Roundabout beginning.

"We're ready to send you whenever you're ready." Trip spoke as Harry and Hoshi stepped onto the Transporter. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Trip questioned and Harry nodded his head.

"I have to go back, they need me back there." Harry explained and Trip nodded his head as he glanced at Hoshi.

"I'm going as well Trip, there's no garauntee that he will make it back on this jump especially if what he said about that alternate universe was true." Hoshi explained.

"You almost make it sound like I made it up to get you to come with me." Harry joked running a hand through his hair. "Now that I mention it, it does sound like a good idea." Harry mused and winced as Hoshi hit him in the arm. "Ouch! Was that necessary?" He joked and she frowned at him as he chuckled.

'To think, a year ago I wouldn't even consider flirting and joking around with people like Hoshi. A lot has happened during that time.'

"Mr Potter. I won't claim to understand time travel, because the rules seem to change all the time." Archer spoke and Harry nodded his head. "But I will say this, it has been a pleasure knowing you during this time." He said and Harry shook his hand.

"I'd have to say the same Captain, thank you for all the effort you and your crew have gone through for me. I owe you a lot." He said before glancing at the rest of the group. "All of you."

"Well, just remember us if you come gallivanting through this time period again." Reed joked and Harry nodded his head.

"Well you never know what could happen in the future… or the past for that matter." Harry said with a small smirk. 'For all I know I could end up coming back here, when my task is done, who says I have to stay in the past?'

"Hoshi, it's never easy for a Captain to let one of their crew go. But I trust your instincts and your capabilities. I know that you'll do yourself proud and you'll be able to help Harry on his travels."

"You talk as if I need a babysitter." Harry chimed in getting looks from the group. "Never mind I'll shut up. Not like I didn't help save this ship." He yelped again as Hoshi hit him in the arm. "You know I think I'm gonna need a bodyguard to protect me from her let alone have her protect me on the travels into the future past." Harry joked and Hoshi mock glared at him. "Okay, I think I better shut up now." Harry muttered as he stepped back doing his best to look innocent.

"Regardless Hoshi, take care of yourself, we will miss you." Archer said and She smiled at him.

"Thank you captain, my time with Enterprise has been relatively short but I am proud to have served with you and the rest of the crew." Hoshi spoke and she briefly hugged Archer before stepping back onto the Transporter Pad.

"Captain Archer, Permission to depart?" Harry questioned after sharing a momentary look with Hoshi.

"Permission granted." Archer spoke and looked at Trip who activated the transporter. Tapping at a few buttons Harry heard the whine of the machine as he felt a tingling sensation in his body as everything started to fade around him. Looking to his left glancing at Hoshi without moving his head he saw the same happening to Hoshi and then mere moments later they were both gone.

"Station log, Stardate 48987.7, the station has once again been caught in a plasma storm, I am left with a skeleton crew to run the station and keep things in one piece until the storm has shifted. We have a few civilians with us, their ship caught in the plasma storm. Other personnel on board include Ambassador Karrig who is here to continue talks with the Scythians an alien race from the Gamma Quadrant and expected to arrive in the near future Envoy Bannik.

Sisko paused a moment before shaking his head. "Computer delete log." He commanded and stood up looking through the windowed doors to his office into Ops, there he could see Dax and Kira discussing something as he waited for the computer to confirm his order.

"Station log deleted." The voice of the computer spoke and Sisko nodded smiling and walking up to the double doors, the hissing sound of it opening alerting the two woman of his arrival.

"The outer areas of the station have been secured Captain, Carlton just sealed the last area down, but this storm is stronger than the last one that hit us." Kira spoke up as she passed him a data Padd. "It's already caused several hull breaches. Though thankfully the emergency force fields were quick to activate. It's minor damage and the few engineers that are left on board are going to take care of it soon." Kira explained.

"Good, how are our guests?" Sisko questioned taking a seat at the centre table where the two were already sat.

"Well Quark is annoyed as to be expected." Kira said with a small smirk. "Something about missing out on potential profit while he was stuck here." She continued and then shrugged. "The Lykotians are currently at the Replomat and Odo is in his office, as for Ambassador Karrig." She looked at Dax who spoke up.

"He's currently in his quarters, he asked not to be disturbed until Envoy Bannik arrived." She explained and Sisko nodded.

"And the Scythians, any problems from them?"

"The Scythians seem content to remain in their ship until we're ready for them, they do seem like a patient race." Dax commented and Kira who had been looking at something on one of the many monitors looked at Sisko.

"That reminds me, those drones that came with the Scythian ship? More have been coming through the wormhole." Kira spoke.

"How many do we have out there at the moment?" Sisko questioned.

"There's eight at the moment but they're slowly coming through, one every couple of minutes." She said and Sisko nodded his head.

"Keep an eye on them major. Hopefully the storm is affecting their sensors as much as it is ours." Sisko spoke and Kira nodded her head.

Beep, beep, beep.

"That's strange." Dax muttered tapping at the console the sounds of the machine being the only thing heard as the other two watched her, the frown on her features deepening as she continued to tap.

"Well, what's strange?" Kira questioned looking intently at Dax.

"One moment…" Dax said as she continued tapping at the console. "This is strange…" She said and continued tapping away as Kira and Sisko shared a look a small roll of his eyes and Sisko spoke up.

"Don't keep us waiting Old Man, what have you found?" Sisko questioned and Dax looked up.

"Internal sensors just picked up a life form in one of the cargo bays."

"Could it be a malfunction?" Kira questioned as she moved over looking at the console.

"Only if the security cameras in the Cargo Bay are malfunctioning too." She spoke and Sisko stood up.

"Patch it through to the main screen." Sisko said stepping round the table as images from the camera sitting up in the corner of the Cargo Bay. The images were unclear, static cutting across it and Sisko looked at Dax. "Is it the storm that's interfering with the picture?"

"No, there's a different form of energy interfering with it. analysing it now." She said as they saw a figure lying on the floor. "The person is unconscious." She said and then looked up. "What do you want to do about him?"

"Contact Bashir and beam him to Sickbay." Sisko said and tapped his own communicator. "Sisko to Odo."

"Odo here."

"We've just had a visitor appear in Cargo Bay Five." Sisko spoke quickly as he walked to the turbolift.

"A visitor?" the voice of Odo spoke.

"He just appeared, we're beaming him over to Sickbay." Sisko said as he entered the turbolift turning to look at Dax and Kira who shared a look and then Dax shrugged standing up and walking over to the lift.

"I'll meet you there." Odo informed and the communication ended.

"Benjamin, initial scans show something interesting on what was causing the interference." Dax said and called out to the Turbolift. "Promenade." She called and the lift started moving.

"What was causing the interference?" Sisko asked turning to look at her.

"The cause behind the interference was temporal energy." Dax explained and Sisko could already feel a headache starting the moment the words started to leave her lips.

"Temporal energy? You're certain?" He asked just to be sure and at her nod he sighed. "Great, so now we have to work out whether or not he is from the future or the past and how much we can tell him." He said and Dax tapped at a Padd that she had grabbed.

"Take a look at the security footage." She said handing him the padd. Sisko took it looking at the image of the person unconscious and then tapped the screen the image magnifying.

"I recognise that clothing." He spoke and Jadzia made a noise of agreement.

"Looks a lot like one of the old starfleet uniforms, so it raises the question, is he a member or is it just coincidence?" She questioned as the Turbolift shuddered to a halt.

"Well, we'll just have to ask him and find out." Sisko said as they walked into the Promenade, the Medical Bay was a bit further up the deserted Promenade and Sisko couldn't help but feel a slight unease, he was too used to this section of the station being full of life, people going to and from, dealing with their business, the noise from Quark's bar from the Dabo Table, the background chatter of people talking and people off to visit the Gamma quadrant. "I'll be glad when everyone is back on the station."

"I agree, makes me think of old ghost stories." Dax agreed as they walked the hum of the machinery in the background, normally indistinct on the background noise was now a lot louder, muffled only by the sound of their own footsteps. "So do you think we'll have to deal with The Department of Temporal Investigations over this?" Dax questioned as they passed Quarks bar a quick glance by Sisko spotted the Ferengi arguing with one of his newer Dabo girls that was stuck on the station after the last runabout was caught in the Plasma Storm. Stuck on the station with a Ferengi who can't make much profit. It was definitely not going to be an easy couple of days for her.

The two entered Sickbay the monitors around them flickering rapidly on and off. As they rounded the corner into the main room their eyes widened in surprise as they looked at the damage. Monitors near the bed where the person had been transported had shorted out completely, two of them having blown out, sparks flickering from the damaged wiring, two tables with trays of medical equipment had been knocked over the instruments scattered across the floor. Julian was sat on the floor leaning against the wall rubbing the back of his head as he looked at the bed.

"Julian, are you okay?" Dax asked quickly moving over to check on her friend. Julian nodded as she slowly helped him stand.

"I have no idea what's going on Captain." He spoke looking at Sisko. "He transported in but the moment I went near him to examine him, something launched me backwards and did all this." He spoke as Dax looked towards the bed. The figure seemed to be at a glance in his late teens, with messy black hair and wearing what seemed to be a 22nd century Starfleet uniform. "None of the scans are reading properly, something is interfering with them, so I went for a closer examination and bam. Next thing I know I'm bouncing against the wall."

"Are you sure you're alright Doctor?" Sisko questioned as he looked at him.

"I'm fine Captain, really, I'm probably going to have a headache soon but nothing I can't deal with." He said as Dax took a step forward towards the teen. "Dax, be careful."

"Dax to Kira." Dax said as she tapped her badge.

"Kira here,"

"Can you run a scan of the Medical Bay?" She questioned quickly as she stopped a small distance away from the bed.

"Give me a moment, there's a lot of interference, the computer doesn't even know what's causing it." Kira said and then moments later made a small 'huh' of surprise. "And it's gone, just like that." She said and Dax, Sisko and Julian shared a look.

"There's something interesting going on with our new guest." Sisko commented and the three turned their heads to look at the person as his eyes snapped open, emerald green eyes staring up at the ceiling. Dax felt her eyes widen, an old memory creeping to the surface before she brushed it to the side ignoring it. 'There's no way it can be him, after all these lifetimes?' She mentally questioned sure of herself in the knowledge that the last person she had met with that specific eye colour had been several lifetimes ago. 'But it's not a common shade of eye colour.' She continued arguing with herself as she saw the teen start to sit up.

"Dax?" A voice behind her spoke and Jadzia almost jumped as she turned around looking at Sisko. "Are you ok? You seemed to let your mind wander for a moment." Sisko commented.

"It's nothing, just an old memory from my past, he looked similar to someone Emony met." Dax commented and Sisko frowned slightly in thought.

"Emony, that was your third host wasn't it?" Sisko questioned and Dax nodded before frowning again.

"I also remember, someone older who looked like him as well, Curzon met them." Dax said and turned back as the black haired teen started to sit up.

Harry groaned slightly as he awoke bringing his hand up to his head shielding his eyes from the light as he shifted on whatever surface he rested on. His body ached all over, to the side of him he could hear people talking but didn't really pay attention to what they were saying, no voices that were familiar though and as his eyes adjusted to the light of the room and he say up.

"Steady now, you could have some serious injuries." A male voice spoke and Harry groaned as the world spun slightly, wobbling slightly as he forced himself to sit up.

"I'll be fine." Harry muttered his dislike of all things hospital beds… at least that's where he assumed he would be.

"Of course you will, just let me make sure." The doctor spoke picking up his tricorder as Harry looked at the three.

"Guessing…" He trailed off as he took a deeper breath a slight pain in his ribs. The one who must have been the doctor noticed almost immediately and lowered the tricorder to check his chest. "Guessing from…" He was cut off again as the door to the Medical Bay opened with a loud hiss and another person walked in, in comparison to the others distinct features this man looked like his face had melted slightly, the features sunken against his skin. Harry looked in surprise shrugging it off after seeing the others not even react other than the briefest of nods. "Third times a charm huh?" Harry joked slightly and saw a small smirk on the coloured man and the womans face. "Guessing from the fact that I am here and not back in the 90's… the thing I was trying to do screwed up." Harry said lowering his head into his hands and letting out a deep sigh before suddenly snapping back up and looking around. "Hoshi!" He said looking around. "Was anyone else found with me?" Harry questioned.

"No one was with you when you appeared." The woman spoke and Harry looked panicked.

"Are you sure? Hoshi was with me when we left." Harry persisted and the woman tapped her combadge.

"Dax to Kira."

"Kira here."

"Can you run a scan of the station, our guest tells us he wasn't travelling alone." The woman, Dax spoke quickly and Harry watched her as she waited seeing the spots that ran from the side of her head along the side of her body, the idle thought running through his head as to whether or not they ran down to her feet before mentally drop kicking that thought from his head as he worried about Hoshi.

"Scan's complete, no other unaccounted for lifeforms." She said and Harry felt a nauseousness rise up inside of him.

"Not here? Then where could she be? We both transported at the same time, same systems… surely she should be here." Harry muttered to himself as he ran a hand through his hair and the group saw the lightning bolt scar. Dax tilted her head slightly looking at it carefully the scar distinct reinforcing her belief that it was probably the same person as before.

"Perhaps we should start with who you are?" the man at the back spoke and Harry looked up at him lost in thought for a moment before remembering that all these people were complete strangers.

"I'm Harry." He said slowly looking at the four as they eyed him with a little bit of suspicion.

"Just Harry?" The man spoke again and Harry nodded.

"For the moment, it's better for all if I don't say, just in case." Harry said and the group frowned slightly.

"I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. You tell us your name, and then we decide what to do with you." The man practically growled.

"Constable, If he want's to keep something about himself private, he must have a valid reason." The other man spoke.

"I don't like mysteries Captain, especially from people who just appear out of thin air in the middle of a plasma storm."

"Does it really make that much of a difference, you have my first name, you know I'm a time traveller, no doubt people from the Enter…" Harry started to say and then stopped.

"Enterprise?" The man questioned and Harry cursed silently.

"Judging from the clothing you're wearing you were on the original, the NX-01, am I correct?" The coloured man spoke and Harry sighed slightly before nodding.

"And this is all well and good but I've got bigger concerns, I was sent forwards in time, not backwards as Trip said would happen, Hoshi who came with me is nowhere to be found, and at a guess looking at the things around me, I'm not near Earth." Harry pointed out and Sisko nodded. "So I've introduced myself, albeit only half, are you going to introduce yourself?" He questioned trying to subtly change the subject.

"Avoiding the topic as you are, I don't see why we can't introduce ourselves. I am Captain Benjamin Sisko, this is Commander Jadzia Dax, Doctor Julian Bashir and Constable Odo." He said gesturing to each of them and Harry nodded his head and then regretted it feeling a small wave of nausea hit him.

"Steady now, from the looks of it you had a nasty landing on arrival." Bashir spoke and Harry sat as he finished his scans. "I'll need to keep him here for a little while just to make sure he's ok but after that…" He trailed off unsure as to how to proceed.

"I think we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Sisko said and looked back at Harry. "We'll let you rest for now and talk in a little bit." Sisko said and gestured to Dax and Odo before the three walked out leaving Bashir and Harry.

"So… you're place looks a bit untidy." Harry said hesitantly unsure of what had happened.

"That's something I'd love to ask you about…"

HPW2HPW2

"Odo, I want you to keep an eye on our new guest, he wants to keep his last name a secret and I want to know why." Sisko said as they walked along the Promenade back towards the turbolift. "Dax, see what you can find out about our mysterious guest, theres the possibility his actions and appearance were recorded in the logs of the NX-01." Sisko said and Dax nodded her head. "But before that, you said you met him before?" Sisko said as the three stopped.

"I'm pretty sure, not a hundred percent but that scar definitely is familiar." Dax explained her hands clasped behind her back as she stood, thinking over the information. "I remember Emony had a run in with someone who looked a lot like him while she was judging a gymnastics competition. We talked and circled around several topics, mainly current events. If he is a time traveller and this isn't all just a coincidence, it is possible that he was trying to get his bearings and work out where he was." Dax theorised and looked between the two.

"You also mentioned Curzon as well." Sisko added as he stroked his beard slightly in contemplation.

"It was by chance, his eyes Benjamin, I have only ever seen that shade of green eyes on two other people and both looked like older versions of him. It's what made Curzon notice him at the Khitomer Confrence, he was older, closer to my age but Curzon saw his eyes and remembered Emony's memory and something that he had said."

"Which was?"

"In the future or in the past, always make Time for the people who pass through your life." Dax said before laughing slightly. "I always thought it as one of those cliché greeting card messages. In fact, Emony even said as much." She said and then unclasped her hands bringing them to her sides. "But seeing him then and seeing him now, I think he is meant to be here." Dax explained and Sisko frowned.

"You mean like a predestination paradox?" Sisko questioned and Dax nodded.

"It makes sense, I've seen him in the past in his older appearances and now we've hit one of the older points." Dax said and Sisko sighed.

"So he is meant to be here? If that's so, how long does he need to stay here and how long until we have to get him out of here?"

"That's the thing, he could be here for two hours, two days or maybe even years," She explained.

"Kira to Sisko." Kira's voice spoke and Sisko tapped his badge.

"Sisko here, whats going on Major?"

"A runabout has emerged from the wormhole, it's Envoy Banniks." Kira explained.

"On my way."

"Is this really necessary Doctor?" Harry questioned as he looked around the room. "I feel fine." He persisted.

"And from my experience, whenever someone says they feel fine, they are normally lying." Bashir spoke as Harry continued to sit there.

"Seriously, I've suffered worse than this before." Harry explained and Bashir frowned at him.

"It's highly likely that you have a concussion, even with the advances in medicine, it's still dangerous." Bashir explained and Harry sat silently. "So where do you come from originally?" Bashir questioned as he picked up one of the medical devices that Harry had no idea what it did.

"Earth." Harry replied simply and Bashir frowned slightly.

"Just Earth? No specific details?" Bashir questioned and Harry nodded.

"If I go into too many details, you might say something I'm not meant to know, I learnt a lot while I was on the Enterprise, one of which was the tetchy nature of Time Travel and I know I'd be tempted to try and learn anything about my time period to try and 'fix' things." Harry said.

"Of course, if you had the information what would you do with it, one of the biggest questions for people who time travel." Bashir said with a smile.

"That and part of me is worried about what would happen if I did go back. Am I meant to go back? Am I meant to stay here? I don't know what to do in this situation, not only that with Hoshi missing…" He trailed off a pained expression crossing his features.

"You cared deeply for her didn't you?" Bashir questioned softly.

"I've never really known what love feels like, with her I sort of got the feeling I had found it." Harry said just as quietly and Bashir stopped himself before he opened his mouth and put the device back down onto the table. "And finished, you'll need to take it easy for a day or two just to make sure nothing more serious crops up, but other than that you're back to good health."

"So in that case can I go?" Harry asked pushing himself off of the bed.

"Do you even know where to go?" He questioned and Harry shrugged.

"I'll just meander around, it worked so well on the Enterprise." He added and then paused as a warning Klaxon went off. "Or I could stay right here." He said as he looked at the Doctor in confusion. "Any idea what's going on?"

"No clue what so ever." Bashir commented pondering whether or not to contact Ops. If he did and they were in the middle of something he wouldn't hear the end of it, that and it probably wouldn't be needed at this time, if he was needed he was here.

"Suppose I better wait here then." Harry suggested and seeing Bashir nod he sat back down on the bed. "So, tell me, what do you people do for fun around here?" He questioned and Bashir began explaining some of the things that he figured would be okay to inform him about as they waited patiently to see what was happening. After about ten minutes the warnings died and Bashir let out a sigh of relief. "And it's over just like that? What just happened?" Harry questioned and Bashir looked just as confused.

"I don't know." He admitted and tapped his badge. "Bashir to Dax."

"Yes Julian?" Her voice responded almost instantly.

"What was the red alert about?" He questioned slowly.

"The drones that accompanied the Scythians through the wormhole decided to attack us." Dax explained and Julian frowned.

"Any injuries up there?" He asked and shared a look with Harry.

"We're fine Julian, no damage to the station or to us." Dax responded and Bashir let out a barely audible sigh.

"That's a relief. And judging by the look I'm getting from my patient at the moment he wants to know if he can leave." Julian spoke and after several moments of silence.

"Sisko here," The Captain's voice spoke through surprising the two. "I don't see why not, as long as he keeps to the Promenade for now. Perhaps the Replomat would be the best place to start." He suggested and the communication ended.

"Replomat?" Harry questioned.

"A small café area, one of the free food and drink places on the Promenade, Come on, I'll show you." Bashir spoke as Harry stood up again.

"Finally freedom. I'll tell you this about my past. I've spent more time in a hospital bed for various reasons than majority of people have in their life." Harry started talking. "So tell me who or what is a Scythian…"

TBC

Well there is the first chapter of my reboot of the Wargames series, I had a lot of fun writing this and I hope you had fun reading it ^^

This reboot wasn't a decision I came to easily, in fact it took a lot of consideration but overall I think it is definitely worth it. Simply for both a better quality and a better story overall.

And yes I do also drop hints about future time travel parts.

Special Thanks goes to Lilyth Celestyn For listening to me prattle on about ideas in PM's and for giving her views on the chapter through PMs

As an extra note please check my profile concerning updates for the next chapters that i have written.
