17 Years Later Grimmauld Place

Harry sat up with a gasp as he fought to calm his heartbeat. He'd dreamt of the Battle again, and of Hermione's torture at Malfoy Manor. It wasn't uncommon for him to wake in the middle of the night since the Battle of Hogwarts, what with his therapist's belief that he had PTSD. If he woke like this, as he often did, he'd go down to his potions and charms research lab in the basement until his fiancée would wake at dawn and come find him.

However on this morning, she was already down there packing up the equipment. He chuckled, and kissed her on the cheek. "Good morning, luv."

"Morning. Did you locate our forms for getting wand permits and asylum from MACUSA before going to bed?" Hermione asked, tucking a strand of curly brown hair behind her ear.

"They are in the mokeskin pouch by the door, luv. Did you get any sleep last night at all?" He replied, seeing the bags under her eyes from lack of sleep.

"No. I had to prepare for if you find the perfect bookshop location today. I want to move us in as soon as possible."

"You do know that you could ask Winky and Kreacher to help."

"Yes, but Winky's been helping Andy with Teddy all week, and Kreacher's getting on in age. I didn't want to impose on them."

"Winky would have helped even if she was dead on her feet from exhaustion."

She smiled, and swatted his arm playfully when he kissed her nose. ""Now, you have your mobile and passports in your carry-on?"

"Along with the aeroplane tickets, wand, and emergency portkey bracelet." He hugged her, reassuring her "Don't worry about me. I'll find us a home, your bookstore, and register us as political refugees from the British Ministry."

"Just be careful." She frowned. "The Magical world is still full of people who either want to immortalize us in song, or lynch us when no one is looking."

Harry smirked. "Hermione, what's the worst that can happen?"

Same time, SHIELD Helicarrier

Director Fury sighed as he stood at the helm of the Helicarrier. Agent Hill drew his attention to the main display. "Sir! We've got two hits! One in Stuttgard, Germany with a 90% match, and one in New York City with an 86% match!"

"Everyone, this is go time! I want those two in here now! We don't know if he can make an illusion or if he changed someone to look like him. Scramble the quinjets now!" he barked, pointing to different people as he ordered them. "Cap! Stark! You bring in the subject in Stuttgard!"

As they walked towards the flight deck Captain America complained to Stark "Why is it always Germany?"

"Because the world is full of irony, old man." Stark replied with his usual sarcasm.

"Hill. Romanoff. Go get the one in New York City. I want him in custody yesterday."

Romanoff saluted before she and Hill went to the quinjet waiting for them.

New York City - 3 Hours Later

Harry walked towards the bookshop he'd purchased an hour before while calling Hermione on his mobile. "Hey, Luv." he said with a gentle smile.

"Hey. How's your day been? I'm almost finished packing up the lab."

"I purchased the bookstore for you. It's got a flat above it and it's on the same street as Stark Tower, so hopefully there'll be less crime to worry about."

"Oh good! And MACUSA approved our petition for asylum?"

"Yes. I've sent you the address."

"I'll see you tonight in our new flat?"

"Yes. I'll see you soon luv."

"Alright. I love you Harry."

"Love you too." Harry smiled as he ended the call.

He walked another block when a red-head tackled him into the alley. She growled as she cuffed his hands behind his back "You're going to pay for what you did to Clint."

"I'm dreadfully sorry, but who are you?"

"Agent." Hill walked up to the two. "I thought we were going to tail him first."

"I'm not letting him get away." Romanoff growled.

"Fine." Hill pressed her earpiece "Agents Hill and Romanoff ready for pickup. Suspect in custody."

Harry looked at the two agents in confusion and anger. "Now just wait a bloody minute! I've been given asylum by the US government! On whose authority do you arrest me?"

"We've got authorization from the Director of SHIELD to bring you in."

"Fury? That one-eyed arse is behind this? What the bloody hell is wrong with you people?" Harry started ranting, his eyes glowing slightly as he began to lose control of his magic. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. "Just because I didn't join your agency he wants me arrested? Fuck this shit. I am bloody sick and tired of being paraded around like an idiot! I am kicking Fury's ass when I see him!"

"Like hell you will!" Romanoff growled before knocking him out.

"Was it really necessary to do that?"

"He's too loud, and I want this Loki in prison five months ago." Natasha growled, glaring at the prone man in her arms. She dragged him over to the waiting SHIELD SUV.

One Hour Later - Helicarrier

Romanoff pushed Harry forward, earning a glare from him. "You could always call in and have Fury come ID me. We've met in person multiple times."

"Facial recognition match of 86% to our subject means you'll be staying where we can see you."

"And who do I match up to?"

"Loki. Asgardian evil genius that's mind controlling my partner." She shoved him forward roughly. "Forgive me if I'm a little skeptical about who you are." She snarled back.

As they walked down the corridor to an intersection, a blond man in a red cape and strange armor saw them. He stopped, confused. "Nephew?"

Harry stopped, and looked at the odd man. "Pardon?"

"It's me, Thor."

"Who?"

"Your Uncle. I thought you were still in serpent form patrolling the seas of Midgard, Jörmungandr... You are Loki's son Jörmungandr, yes?"

"No. Sorry. The name is Harry Potter."

"But... you look exactly like him." Thor paused in confusion. "Your eyes look like Loki's... Who are you?"

At that moment coming down a different hall to the same intersection Captain Rogers and Stark escorted Loki past the lab where Bruce was looking for the Cube. When Loki saw Thor talking to another man with a similar build to himself he called out "Are you really stupid enough to believe that that mortal is me, brother?"

When both Harry and Thor turned towards the voice Harry gasped in surprise. He choked out the word "D-dad?" before fainting.
