New York is facing their most troubling forces they have ever seen. Hamair Deimos Riddle is ready to destroy the world that had once stolen everything from him. He and his fellow Masters will show the world what they had made them. It was time to destroy. SLASH SR/HP.
Ugh, I know, I know! I've been away for ages, but at least I can blame it on this shitty little thing called real life. Since my last update in June I've been thrust in the most senior position at work, trained 4 new people, lost my aunt to cancer, my sister went through some trouble and the business I work for has been struggling.
So as you can see, life has been a bit difficult. But I have this chapter ready and I am feeling mad inspired lately, plus my sister will be gone for a month and I will have nothing else to do but to type for all you wonderful people over the quiet festive period! Yay!
Warnings for this chapter: Mentions of rape, murder and swearing. Also mentions of past and future Mpreg.
Everything but the plot and OC's belong to the amazing J.K Rowling!

Chapter 2
The Undisputed Facts
He sighed deeply as he stared at the Lords before him. He had known them for millennia and was shocked that all seven of them would be stepped down at the same time, all because they had found the ones who would replace them.
The eight stunning men and women before him were speaking amongst themselves when they all turned to face them. He felt a shiver of dread move down his spine. While he was powerful in his own right these Masters had been borne long before him and had specialized in their Magic's long before then as well.
''You have requested our assistance Laufeyson, and while we will grant it we will have you know that if anything happens to our charges we will ensure that you and your team will die'' The eldest of the group said as he waved his hand and a obsidian orb appeared on the middle of the table.
''Thank you Thanatos, I will do my best to ensure that they do not break your confidence'' Loki whispered as the orb glowed with life and images sprang to life from it. Loki watched in wonder as he stared at the children who had destroyed the subway station in New York.
They had all been fresh faced children once in their life, and he hardly recognized the hardened warriors. These chosen Titans and Masters that would one day probably surpass even him in Magic alone, but maybe that was just a wild exaggeration.
''As you can see our charges have been horribly abused in life'' Thanatos, the Master and God of Death, whispered as he shook his head. His long raven hair fell over his shoulders and his obsidian eyes were as cold as his Mastery. His pale skin was flushed with anger, his eyes only on his small charge that had come to him pleading to save him life. He had been to the Dark Lord of England then, begging him to end his life, not even knowing that he had been pregnant at the time. ''My charge alone had been raped and left for dead when he had declared himself neutral. It had been committed by a man he had once trusted deeply just so that he could be controlled more. The world he lived in had slandered him as a whore and liar when he had claimed his rapist as Albus Dumbledore. Many had believed that he had made up the claims so that they could stop believing in him, it didn't help that he was nearly one hundred and twenty years old'' Loki shivered in disgust. ''Never pity him God of Lies, for he truly hates those who do'' He said as he bowed his head and smirked in remembrance of those who dared stare at his charge with pity. ''He had become pregnant and when he had refused to abort his daughter he was slandered even further. He had turned to Tom at that time and had been accepted with open arms. He and Aziza Vega had been welcomed with open arms. And the Dark Lord had noticed his affinity to Death Magic, my great-many-grandson sent him in my direction and as you know the rest is history'' He said as the images of Haidar appeared before them, his daughter clutched tightly in his arms. Loki could understand the vehemence he showed on aborting his precious daughter. He had been told to do the same to his own four, but he had refused. Even if they had been declared as the destroyers of Asgard one day.
''Our charge had always had this anger inside of him'' Twin brother's said as they stared at the auburn haired male that appeared in the orb. Romulus and Remus were still as powerful and dangerous as the day they had found Rome, even if their myth was forgotten amongst Mortals and Muggles, it had never escaped the knowing minds of the Magical community. Their own golden-auburn hair seemed to flash like tainted blood in the dimly lit room, and their amber eyes were alight with fury. It seemed that all of those with werewolf blood had a hidden anger within them, just waiting for it to be released. ''It only grew when his five older brothers suddenly disappeared and his little sister that was now the golden girl of the family and that she was considered to become the Heir of the line''
Loki sneered as he watched the girl, she was beautiful yes, and seemed to be very intelligent. But she didn't use it other than to further her own goals.
''He willingly followed his friend when he was shown to be the perfect prodigy for the Lupin name'' Loki blinked in shock, knowing that the one who carried the name 'Lupin' was in fact the direct descendent of the men before him. It was also not a very well-kept secret of the brother's love for one another, not with the way they were staring heatedly at one another. ''He was blood adopted and bitten within a year and he came to us a short while later, ready to start his life as a Titan. We accepted him when we disclosed to him that his brothers were indeed safe and that they had fled to the Dark as protection when they had discovered a plot to kill them all so that Miss Ginerva could become the next Heir to the Weasly line''
Loki stared at the orb as it showed the teary reunion between the brothers and how the young Weasly had started to come into his own, but never released the dark anger that clung to his soul.
''As you know my charge had been one of the one's who were considered as one of the Chosen One's. His parent's involvement in the war caused them to be a prime target and they had been tortured into insanity after the Dark Lord had been destroyed. They had believed it was because of their war efforts, and no one ever knew that it was in fact because they had stolen the Lestrange's son and had tortured him to death. They were unable to recover from the trauma and had been declared barren'' Loki gasped as he clutched his stomach, unable to even think about losing one of his babies because someone else had stolen one from him.
''The poor babe'' One of the woman said as she pushed her hair out of her eyes, touching the Serpens arm to comfort him as he was also visibly affected by his charge's life.
''He had been verbally abused by his grandmother since a young age and started to believe everything what she was saying'' He sighed visibly as the image of his grown protégé was shown to them. Loki could hardly recognize the young babe that had appeared in the orb at first. ''It took all of us to convince otherwise, and he followed after the first person who believed in him without even thinking about it. He was humiliated by his grandmother once more after this happened and he went out of his way to destroy what little world she had created around herself and the support she had granted on the man who had defiled his friend'' He took one last look at his charge before a vicious smirk took over his face. ''It didn't take him long to embrace the vicious poison that was flowing through his veins''
The other's laughed as they made the orb disappear, Loki was about to protest when all of them turned to look at him as one.
''That is enough for today young one'' Adonia whispered with her melodic voice. Her kind violet eyed denied the bloodlust that flowed through her veins. ''We believe you must go rest now'' Her knowing eyes fell to his stomach and he laid his hand on it automatically. He hadn't known himself, but he and Thor had wasted no time in consummating their lost relationship, but he didn't think that it would be this quick.
''If I were you I would hide that from the Allfather for as long as possible, they never did mention which of your children that would cause Ragnarok to come'' whispered as she touched his shoulder and he disappeared.
He only fell softly on his bed, pondering his future and hoping the others would listen to half of what he had learned.
xXx
Steve fell heavily onto the couch while the others did the same. They had almost one of their own and had saved a little village, even though they had basically destroyed it. He couldn't trust S.H.I.E.L.D anymore, not with how they had handled this entire situation. Pietro was in one of Tony's room, sleeping off his partial death. Thor had tried to jump start his heart with a bit of an electrical shock to his heart, while it had been beyond risky it had helped. Thor had also disappeared shortly after their battle to seek Loki, hoping to be with his brother as he had nearly lost his life.
Tony was storming around the room, his rage barely contained as he looked at the pompous Hermione Granger sit down on his chair and then start sorting through the files that had appeared suddenly before her.
''If you are all quite down with the melodramatics, we can get to why I am even here'' She said as she slammed a thick file on top of the table and opened it. The first picture that they saw was of an old man with a white beard, half-moon spectacles perched on his nose, but it was his eyes that made Tony hiss. Those eyes were filled with sadistic glee and a manipulative edge. ''As you can see your current employer is a very well-known figure in the British Magic community, and he wants you to track down Harry so that he can imprison him for treason''
''And what of his daughter, Miss Aziza?'' Steve asked as he stood up again and glared at the girl. ''I'm guessing from your facial expression that you are going to kill her, we have a name for people like you Miss Granger''
''I think we agree for once Steve, child killers are regarded as the lowest of low in America, I'm not sure if it's the same in Magical Britain, but so far you have given me no proof as to why I should help you'' Tony thundered as he steadied Bruce who was sitting just in front of him. The smaller man had been shaking violently for the past minute and the more they spoke the more agitated he became. ''I believe you can wait Miss Granger, as me and my colleagues have had a very rough day and we would like nothing more than to sleep it off'' He said as he helped Bruce up and started steering him towards one of the rooms that he had made sure were always ready for the team.
''We aren't finished yet!'' Hermione hissed as she also shot up and glared at all of them. ''Your government made a contract stating that you would assist us in apprehending Harry James Potter either dead or alive!''
''We never signed that contract Miss Granger'' Bruce roared at her, the others stepped back and Natasha moved closer, in case he needed to be calmed down. ''We never stated that we would assist you, and as far as we are concerned you have not given us any proof as to why we should support you and your governments cleaning up campaign. For that's what it is! Your Headmaster raped a student, impregnated him and then had the nerve to tell him that he was a slut for keeping the child. He has probably had more supporters then, but Haidar has ripped that away from them, they believe the child over you'' The others stood around him, shocked that he had not turned into the Hulk yet, that he hadn't lost the little composure he had. ''You are losing supporters, and when he dies you can say that we were the one that killed him, that we were an unstable country who murders Heroes and children. Well try again Miss Granger'' He hissed as he stared at her. ''We will no longer assist you, and even if S.H.I.E.L.D forces us we will never lift a finger to assist you'' With that he walked away. Hermione was gaping openly at him and at the others, shocked that they would just reject whatever they had to say.
''You will regret the day you crossed the Light side of the war'' Hermione hissed as she sent out an alert to both the British and American Magical Community. ''You will be seen as traitors to your country!''
''If you haven't noticed Miss Granger'' Natasha stated as the rest started to leave and Tony was playing around with a device on the wall. ''We all have a bit of Darkness inside of us, while you are disgusted by yours and choose to reject it, some of us choose to embrace it. And if you haven't noticed yet, we all chose to embrace our Darkness long ago. We wouldn't be the Avengers without it''
With that Hermione was forcibly rejected from the Avengers home, how it had happened she had no idea. But as she was surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D agents and British Aurors she couldn't help but smile. It seemed they had a challenge on their hands.
And she so loved challenges.

''We see you are back Layfeyson'' Thanatos said with a smirk as he made the chair for the Liesmith more comfortable with just a wave of his hand. The raven haired man smiled and sat back gratefully, placing a hand on his stomach. ''Did you get to tell your loved one of your little miracle?'' He asked as he placed the orb in the middle of the table again. The first image Loki saw was of a beautiful blonde woman.
''As you can see my charge has always been a beautiful woman, it is why I chose her'' Adonia said as she brushed her thick raven hair over her shoulder. ''She had been childhood friends with Dragos' charge for as long as they had known, and she followed him more then she had followed Hamair'' The woman smiled at her other female companion as they thought of the bond their two charges shared. ''She followed after the others when her sister and family had been murdered in cold blood due to their continued support for the Dark One. She had been promised retribution and vengeance if she had joined us, as you know my kind is most well-known for'' Her cruel smile had more teeth showing then what should had been considered healthy, but Loki knew that Fae weren't as sweet and innocent as they were portrayed to be. Morgana Le Fey had been a Fae herself, after all they were her namesake.
''Cassandra had always been a bit of an oddball, and she had followed Haidar as he had seen her for who she truly was and had cherished that in her. They had quickly formed a brother and sister bond, one that has never been broken. She had joined him when her Father had been murdered for supporting Haidar publically, as is the norm for these people'' Nahia whispered as she adjusted the small tiara on her head. Her blonde hair glowed almost golden in the light of the room and she couldn't help but sigh as the picture of what she considered to be her daughter in all but blood. ''She has clung to Haidar the past few years, and he has allowed it, but very soon she will start something that will leave both our charges happy'' She said with a smile as she turned to Adonia. The woman smiling in return and their hands met and entwined with one another.
''This is truly sickening'' Someone sneered in the corner, the other turned to growl at him and he hissed. ''Is there a reason why I am listening to your love stories and not explaining about my own charge?'' Dragos growled as he made the flames dance across his palm. ''Because if that's the case then I can just leave…''
''Do be quiet Dragos, we understand that your beloved is pregnant, but he can handle it, it is after all your fifteenth child'' Vladimir said with a wave of his hand. ''You are but one of eight, and please remember that you are the youngest of us too'' Those amethyst eyes flashed at the young and cocky dragon. He had been the last to come into his mantle, and had done so by killing his previous mentor. The father of the man he was bonded to. ''As you know our children were always chosen. We scan for who we believe will have the greatest potential and build from there. Charon had always been chosen, even before his birth. His mother was as talented as our Master spies and she protected him with a ferocity we find only in our Alphas. She had trained him well and on his thirteenth birthday we had approached him to train under myself, an honour I had only granted my children before. He soared through our ranks'' He smiled as the darker teen appeared on the orb and smiled a blinding smile as three children appeared before him. ''He found three children for us before he left us to travel with Ryu. I am just glad to say that he doesn't have such a tragic past as the rest of our charges''
It was a small price to pray, Loki thought as he stared at the beautiful man in the orb, he had not suffered like the rest of the children, but he had made sure to protect them and take on their burdens as if it were his own.
''My Ryu has always been a stuck up little sod'' Dragos began, he roared when the others chimed in with a 'like his master'. Loki could only snicker and look innocent when furious golden eyes zeroed down on him. ''He left with Haidar after his mother had been murdered. She had been carrying the Dark One's heir as he had felt that he was ready for his own child and she had been the perfect candidate'' He only rolled his eyes as the others asked him to elaborate. ''He doesn't have to know every last details of Ryu's life!'' He thundered. ''Why must I go into the brutal detail when Nahia refused to do the same over Cassandra's father? It is still very fresh in their minds, and I refuse to let him stare at Ryu in pity because he lost both a sibling and a mother'' Loki could understand the Drakken's anger. To know that he had lost someone so close to them, even after all these years, could make any man pity. ''He has recovered somewhat, but that is only because he had started to embrace the others as well as try to accept the new world he now lives in'' The Drakken looked away when the orb showed the stunning teen, and though the blond was smiling there was still a sadness in those stormy grey eyes.
''It seems that I am the only one that still needs to talk, yes?'' The beautiful being said. Loki blushed as he remembered that this being had been considered the most sought after in all the realms. Even Thor had admitted that he had dreamt of laying with an elf. ''Our kind had been selected since birth as well, but we start training when they are thirteen. Ailill didn't stand out in the beginning but then he had started seeing a girl by the name of Hannah Abbot, and unfortunately for him he did not heed his friends warnings. He had fallen in love with the girl and had allowed her close, she of course had deceived him the first chance she got and had then decided to cut his hair for an extra measure…'' Loki gasped in horror as he remembered what the implication meant for a warrior elf. ''We did decide to re-grow his hair Laufeyson, but it had damaged him and he was unable to love since that day. He followed his friends out of loyalty and swore he would protect them from the dangers that followed them'' He smiled sadly as he stared at his charge, he had of course cut his hair after the regrowth and would grow it again himself. It was already down to his lower back again and he couldn't be more proud at his charge.
''These are our children Loki, we have sworn to protect them and had have vowed to find them happiness. We are not above smiting this world for what they have done to eight teenagers'' Thanatos said as a sickly green light started to dance over his fingers and then over his palm and up his arms. ''If these so called special humans so much as…''
''I will speak to Thor, but I assure you I will try my best to convince them to leave them alone…''
''Do so Loki, otherwise all the realms will face our wrath'' Dragos said as he stood up and made the orb vanish with a wave of his hands. The brothers stood up after him and gave him one last look before they disappeared.
''Make sure our girls are treated like the treasures we believe they are'' Nahia and Adonia said together as they also disappeared from where they were sitting.
''It's not the magical world you should be afraid of'' Vladimir said as he and Ajax stood as well. ''It is them when they realize that the magical world is this close to destroying their little happiness'' He said as they waved and left as well.
''We are just laying down the facts Liesmith, we care for a select few and your group has sparked an interest with us. Don't make us kill some of the most interesting people we have found in a while'' Thanatos said as he stood up himself and waved his hand.
Loki gasped as he fell back onto his bed, he sighed deeply and rested a hand on his stomach.
''I think it's time to see who we are up against, isn't it baby?'' He asked as rubbed his stomach, ignoring the rustling in the other room. ''Let's meet the Titans''
xXx
He smiled as he ran his fingers over the frames of the group. There were many of them, and he couldn't contain the smile of the little girl with large snow white eyes and curly raven hair. He picked it up and ran his finger over the cherub cheek.
''May I help you Loki, God of Lies?'' Cassandra asked as she sat down on one of the cream chairs in the large spacious sunroom and stared at him. ''You might want to sit down, my family will be here shortly and you need to relax for your baby'' She said as she waved her hands and snacks and a teapot appeared on the small coffee table. The group started to appear one by one and they all stared at him oddly as he sat and spoke with Cassandra as he was sipping at his cup of tea and eating biscuits that she was piling on his plate.
''Is there a reason you are here Liesmith?'' Cacidius grunted as he tucked Rian deeper into his side and then smiled at Aziza as she skipped into the room.
''I have come here to seek out a peace treaty for my beloved and his comrades…'' He ignored the dark look that Haidar sent him, for the hope shining in his emerald eyes was all he needed to proceed.
''We are listening…''

And that is the second chapter of Clash of the Titans! I do hope you guys enjoyed it, I'm not too sure how fond I am of this chapter as I struggled with some parts of it.
You get a little bit of background on our small group. There is obviously more to it than this, but this is just a quick summary so that the other heroes can understand them. But it should be enough for now!
And thank you so much for your support over the course of the last few months! Every single favourite, follow and review has just made my day! May you all have an amazing day!
Until the next chapter!
