Chapter 2: Tony Stark
Tony Stark woke up with a groan. His mouth was dry and his shoulder hurt like hell. Tony got up expecting to find some sort of restraints place on him. So he was most surprise to find himself free of any restraints. He was even more surprise to find sunlight in his face. Groaning and holding his side, he bitterly got up and was surprise to see fresh water by his side. Well not that surprise see his last captives had water for him. He grabbed the cup and drank the water. He was surprise to find how refreshing it was. It was even more refreshing than any type of water he's ever had.
Tony got up and realized he was in a small room. It appeared to be a hotel room. He place his feet on the ground and realized his right leg was also in a cast.
The door open and a young man, who appeared to be in his earlier twenties entered.
"You're awake. It's about time." The man said as he entered the room and drops a bag by the door. The man's voice held a heavy accent to it. Most likely Scottish, or he could be British. Even French, he wasn't sure.
"Where am I?"
"In Kabul. I found you on my way here. You were pretty beat up so I tended you the best I could."
"Thanks, do you have a phone. I have to call my friend Rhody."
"Sure," he said as he pulled out a phone from his pocket and tosses it to Tony. Tony punch in Rhody's personal number and waited a few seconds.
"Hello,"
"Rhody, its Tony."
"Tony, where in the hell you've been. I've got people looking for you. Where are you?" Rhodes asked.
"I'm in Kabul. I manage to escape from my captives. Can you send a bird to come get me to Bagram?"
"Forget that I'm heading there right now. Keep that phone Tony, I'll be able to track you that way."
"Thanks Rhody." Tony said as the phone line went dead.
"So your Tony Stark, what are you doing out in the middle of nowhere."
"Well as I told Rhody, I was held captive by a terrorist group that calls themselves the Ten Rings. Weird name but I was held captive there for a week. I manage to trick them that led to my escape. The rest you know. So you explain what happen afterwards." Tony said.
"Well, I was on my way to Bagul when I heard an explosion. I went to investigate it when I stumbled upon you. You were burning up a fever not to mention suffered from a fractured shoulder. I'm not sure if your leg is broken but I had a doctor take a look at you so he could patch things up." He said calmly.
Tony narrowed his eyes. It was clear the man was hiding some details just as he was from him.
"How did you carry me here?" Tony asked.
"Camel. I was riding one and took you on it after I found you." He said calmly. Tony nodded as that would have made sense.
"What's your name?"
"Awe forgive me, its rude not to introduce yourself before starting conversation with another person. I'm Harry Potter." He said as he pulled out his passport and showed it to Tony.
Tony looked at it in hopes of gaining some answers. It showed he was British and only twenty five years old.
"How long will your friend get here?" Harry asked.
"Soon I expect." Tony answered. "He'll be here soon with some military helicopters."
"Then we should head to the edge of the city to prevent any commotion." Harry said as he pick up his bag.
"Good point." Tony said as he got up and put on a shirt.
They managed to take a cab to the edge of the city before walking out. They only were out of the city for two minutes before three United States Military helicopters appeared over the dune sea. Tony screamed and waved his good arm in the air as they came down in front of them.
Several soldiers step out as Tony called them over. They were nearly there when Harry walked up to Tony when the soldiers suddenly pointed their weapons at him.
"Step away from Mr. Stark. Step away." They shouted as they begin to surround him.
"Whoa, whoa, calm down. Everyone just calm down."
"Tony who is this?" A black man asked. Harry eyed his uniform before realizing he was the highest ranking officer.
"His names Harry Potter, he's my savior. I would be dead right now if it weren't for him." Tony said.
Harry reach in to pull out his passport when the soldiers suddenly tense up and brought their rifles to shoot.
"Calm down, it's just my passport." Harry said as he slowly pulls out his passport.
Rhody took and read it.
"You're British. What is a British doing out here?"
"I was picking something up for a friend. An artifact that was once used by the ancient Egyptians. On my way back to I stumbled across Mr. Stark." Harry calmly said.
"Look Rhody, I don't mean to butt in, but the man did save my life. He's a hero in my books. I think we should show him some respect for saving my life don't you think." Tony said.
"Alright, come on."
"I really don't think this is necessary." Harry said as he was ushered towards the helicopter.
SHIELD Helicarrier
"Tony Stark was found?" Fury half asked, half demanded.
"Yes sir, by a Harry Potter." Agent Tiers replied as he read the report.
"What do you we know about this Harry Potter?"
"Not much I'm afraid. He's a young white male. Twenty five years old from Surrey England. Other than that he's a mystery. Records seem to disappear at an early age. We do have a report of his parent's death but it seems odd."
"What's odd?" Fury demanded.
"There are no death certificates. No bodies, no reports. It just says that, they died." Agent Tiers replied.
"I want all available agents looking into this Harry. Find out who he is and what his angle in all of this is. I want his birthday. I want his social security number. If he goes to the bathroom I want to know how many times he shakes it. Move it people." Fury shouted. SHIELD Agents started moving around just to complete their task. "Agent Hill."
"Sir." Agent Hill said as she stood at attention.
"I want you to look if he's a possible MI-6 agent. Also get Agent Barton to tail this Harry at all times. See if he can find out if Harry is talking to anyone. Get Agent Coulson to contact Stark about his escape and encounter with this Harry. Contact Agent Romanoff to infiltrate Stark Industries and see if she could bug and tagged this Harry."
"Is that really necessary sir?" Agent Hill asked.
"We are dealing with an unknown. I want to know this Harry's agenda. I want to know what he hopes to accomplice by rescuing Stark." Fury replied.
"Is it possible that this Harry could be one of Stark's kidnappers?" Agent Hill asked. Fury narrowed his one good eye as he appeared to be in thought.
"Not likely. Stark wouldn't fly with a kidnapper. It's could be by odd coincidence that they met. However, I'm not betting all of this on a coincidence. I need answers. SHIELD can not have unknown's running around. How do we know this isn't a ploy in an attempt to gain access to Stark's Weapons. An unknown with access to some of the best weapons on the planet is dangerous. If this Harry is trying to do anything, I want SHIELD ready to respond at a moments notice." Fury said calmly.
"Understood sir." Agent Hill replied as she turn to carry out her orders.
"Sir, Stark is making a press conference." Agent Tiers said.
"Put it on the screen." Fury said as the screen came on and Fury got a good look at Stark and a young man next to him who appeared to be Harry. People were clapping and cheering.
Tony Stark appeared on the stand where he was ready to make an announcement. Harry stood nearby looking nervous.
"Miss Potts may I have a moment." Agent Coulson said.
"Yes."
"Can I speak with you for a moment?"
"I'm not apart of the press conference. Its about too begin right now." Pepper Potts said.
"I'm not a reporter. I'm Agent Phil Coulson. I'm with the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement Logistics Division."
"That's quiet a mouthful."
"I know we're working on it."
"You know we've been approach already by the Department of Defense, FBI, the CIA…"
"We're a separate division with a more specific focus. We need to debrief Mr. Stark about the circumstances of his escape and his encounter with Harry Potter."
"I'll put something in the books shall I?"
"Thank you."
"First off, I want to personally thank Mr. Harry Potter for saving my life. Because as I escape from my captives, I was wounded, injured and laying there just waiting to die. He found me, mend my injuries. Manage to get in contact with the United States Military just to bring me home. So I would like a round of applause for him." The room clap as Harry gave a short nod to the room and gave a weak smile.
"You know what, could we all just sit down. That way I can see all of you and be a little less formal." Tony said as he sat down in front of everyone. Everyone soon followed suit.
"I never got to say goodbye to my father." Tony said as Obadiah Stane sat next to Tony Stark. Clearly curiosity was sitting in on everyone wondering what the press conference was all about. "You know there are questions I want to ask him. Questions I have specifically for my father. Questions I would ask him about how this company is. How he did it, if he was conflicted, if he ever had doubts. Or maybe he was ever the man we all remember him as. I saw young Americans killed by the very weapons I created to defend them and protect them. I saw that I had become apart of a system that with zero creditability."
"Mr. Stark." The reporters all cried out at once.
"Yes."
"What happen over there?" one reported asked.
"I had my eyes open. I came to realize that I have more to offer this world than just to make things to blow up. And that is why, as in effect immediately I am shutting down the weapons manufactures of Stark Industries…."
Whatever Tony Stark was going to say next was drawn out as everyone jump to their feet and immediately began shouting questions at Tony.
"Until such a time until I can decided what is the best future of this company will be and the directions it should take…" Whatever Tony was going to say was interrupted by Obidiah Stane who took Tony off the stage.
"What we should take away from all this.. is that… Tony is back and he is healthier than ever…" Obidiah said.
Harry followed Tony out and entered his car.
"Talk about a buzz kill. Did you just kill off your company?" Harry asked as he got in the car.
"Most likely. But I don't want this to be my legacy. I want to do more than just build weapons. I want to leave something behind where everyone can cherish from my work." Tony said. "Hogan, take me to the Arc Reactor."
Harry said nothing as they went around the building and into a restricted area. Harry enters the building with Tony and look at the Arc Reactor.
"So this is power your entire facility?" Harry said as he eyed the reactor.
"Yeah, same technique that's keeping me alive." Tony said as he pointed to his chest.
They were interrupted when Obidiah Stane walked in. Harry immediately cloaks himself before Obidiah could see him.
"Well that went well." Obidiah said as he took the cigar out of his mouth.
"Did I just paint a target in the back of my head?" Tony said as he turn to look at Harry but couldn't find him.
"You're head, what about my head. What do you think the overall in the stock drop is going to be." Obidiah asked.
"Roughly around forty points."
"At minimum. Tony. We're a weapon's manufactures. "
"I just don't want a body count to be my only legacy."
"We'll it's what we do. We're Iron Monger's. We make weapons. And what we do is what keeps the world from descending into chaos."
"Obliviously not from what I seen. We're not doing a good enough job. We can do better. We're going to do something else."
"Like what? You want us to make baby bottles."
"I think we should take another look into Arc Reactor Technology."
"Come on the Arc Reactor? That's a publicity stunt Tony. Come on, we built that thing to shut the hippies up."
"It works."
"Yeah, as a science project the arc would never work, we knew that when we built the damn thing. Arc Reactor technology. It's a dead end right?"
"Maybe."
"Am I right? We haven't had a breakthrough in that in what thirty years."
"It's what they say." Tony said as they began to stand down. A moment of silence entered the small chamber as they look at each other. "Could you have a lousier poker face? Just tell me who told you?"
"Never mind who told me, show it to me."
"Rhody or Pepper. It's Rhody or Pepper."
"I want to see it."
"Rhody then." Tony said as he open his shirt and revealed the small Arc Reactor in his chest.
Harry walked out not bothering any more with the conversation but he was confused by Obidiah's intentions. He got in the car and sat down.
Stark Residence - Malibu
"Let me show you your room." Tony said as they entered his home.
"This isn't necessary. I could just get a hotel room." Harry said as he entered.
"I am not going to have my savior sleep in a hotel room. I owe you more than you know. Jarvis see to it that my guest of honor get's what he needs."
"Of course sir." A voice said causing Harry to jump from shock. He looked around expecting to see someone there.
"That's Jarvis. He's an A.I. He helps with about everything. If there's anything you need, just let Jarvis know and we'll get it." Tony said.
"Tony I appreciate everything your doing but I don't need this. Just your thanks is enough." Harry said.
Harry sighs and looks at Tony who had a big smile on his face.
"I take it no isn't going to work." Harry said as Tony's smile grew bigger.
A/N: hope this chapter is better than my first.
Harry and Tony are getting off to a good start but as you may have realize they are keeping some things to themselves. For Harry, well it's obvious he can't go around saying he's a wizard. For Tony, he doesn't want anyone to know about Project Iron Man. SHIELD will be getting more involved in the next chapter. any suggestions or ideas let me know. Still looking for good heroes and villains to add to my story.
