The Phoenix Effect

I Just have to see how happy I was when I looked at The Phoenix Effect to see favourites, follows and a fair amount of views. Thank you everyone. In response I decided to get this Chapter done sooner. Again Thank you and I own Nothing. Also Minor descrepancies with the time zone I was off by roughly 100 years in the last chapter however this one fixes the mistake.

All at once as John watched the strange old man, Harrison, that had saved him from what ever his fate might have been if he hadn't intervened. He couldn't help but wonder what was happening as the glow was almost unbearable to look at. Slowly the glow began to dim and as it did John was shocked in to disbelief. The old ragged man that Harrison had been was gone. He more or less looked the same apart from one key diffrence. He was young looking. Harrison now stood tall his body strong as if he'd just come out the miltary, His long, limp white hair was now a curled vibrant black that gave him an aristocratic look. His dull green eyes now shined with an emerald light and hints of blue at the edge's. His wound was gone not a trace.

"What, how, huh, you... you should be dead" John stuttered out, he liked to think he was brave but this was something unheard of before, " For all intents and purposes you should be dead but you look better than you were before"

"That I do" Harrison chuckled out, His voice now rich and strong, "I do think the how can wait until we are in a slightly more secure location, I believe my little light show might have drawn some unwanted attention" True to his word sirens could be heard closing in on them. Looking John straight in the eyes Harrison asked " Do you trust me John"

"I don't know but you did help me" John anwsered

"Good enough for me" Harrison replied, grabbing John by the arm "You might want to hold your breath" He warned before he turned slightly and with a loud crack they were gone from the alley.

Appearing in a large hall John looked around in amazement whilst taking deep lungfulls of air after feeling like he was being crushed in a tube. The hall was clearly that of an old fashioned home, furnitured as such with very little actual technology bar the bare essentials being displayed.

"But what, huh, how, we..." John stutters

"Were in an alley 4 miles away, yes I noticed" Harry mocked beginning to walk down towards a living area at the end of the hall. However he didn't make it far before he stumbled clutching his side. Confusion forgot John rushed to his side almost instantly supporting the man as he helped him to a sofa.

"I thought that weird trick you did had made you better" John questioned

"It did" Harry anwsered , "But it takes a lot out of me and ugh sometimes takes awhile to really kick in"

"What even was that" John asked

"It would be easier to show you" Harry replied before promptly grabbing Johns head and headbutting him.

Almost instantly John mind became filled with images and mermories of not his own. Memorys of a cupboard, a large castle and magic. Then the horros of war and constant life and death situation before finally it seemed like the man in the memories was happy with a family and kids.

"What was all that" John moaned slumping in to a chair across from Harrison.

"That was general background of my life" Harry anwsered " You see when I made you swear to me in the alley it makes you unable to tell anyone what you know about me with out my permission. That leaves me happy to share some information about my life with you." Harry continued " I was born on July 31st 1980..."

"That would make you nearly 190 years old " John interrupted

"Indeed it does" Harry replied. "I will continued if you won't interrupt" John just nods his head at this "Okay then, when I was one my family was murdered by one of the early biotic users like my self. Our ability was unfiltered and allowed us a wider variety of skills to the common biotic but age has dilluted them. The people of my time claimed it as magic and hid ourselves away from the rest of the world. The man that killed my family was called Tom Riddle but went by the moniker Lord Voldemort. He used his power to spread his agenda and instill fear. However when he tried to kill me he could not, why I have never known. For the next 10 years I lived unknowing before being whisked away for training at 11. There the next 7 years were frought with danger and death until at 17 Voldemort who had returned from the dead finally perished for good. However as time passed on my friends began to grow old so did I but much more slowly, You see whilst trying to end Voldermort I collected items that claimed to make the user the master of death..."

"Master of Death, how can you be master of death?" John interruppted again.

"Quiet and I will continue" Harry muttered. "In a way they gave one a long life and made them stronger. But there major gift was the ability for a creature long since extinct called a phoenix to pass on its abilty to be reborn when it dies." Harry continued sadness beginning to creep on to his face. "A friend of mine was bonded with one such creature till he died, It was named Fawkes. So Fawkes gifted his essence to me allowing my unique ability, on the condition I can use it a max of 12 times. On the 13th it will cause my body to create a blast simlair to that of a supernova on a tiny scale."

"So that explains your weird trick and sort of explains how we got here but why did you save me?" John asked.

"I feel like you are going to be special John and I want to help you. I want to train you and give you a true life away from the streets." Harry replied honestly

"And if I accept what then Harrison" John questioned

"Then Ill train you physically, mentally, bioticlly. I'll also try and be a friend and mentor"

"I've got no where else to go" John stated " The Clawes think I betrayed them and I have no family." John pondered to himself "Okay Harrison, I accept"

"Please call me Harry"

New York, Earth 2172

Four years later.

"So John, we're not going to see each other for while now" Harry stated looking out over the transport terminal. Over the last four years under Harry's guidance John had grown in to a fine young man. His body lean but muscular his dark hair shaved short with the barest hint of stubble beginning to poke through. Under Harry's tutalage his mastery had over his biotics had grown strong. Enough so that when he had enlisted with the Alliance Navy he had been given the Vanguard Designtaion, reserved for does with the strongest and most well trained bionics.

"I guess not" John replied, "What are you going to do now Harry?" He questioned, "Your can't just stay on Earth can you?"

"That was my plan, yes" Harry replied a small grin appearing on the edges of his face as he thought about how many times John had tried to convince him to change his mind.

"But Harry you lived through it all, the biggest change's in Human History yet you don't explore any of it." John anwsered

"I explore Queen's" Harry Joked

"You know what I mean" John chuckled, "Just do me a favour keep in touch but go get out their and see the universe, please for my sake"

"I'll make sure to keep in touch and the other thing, well I'll think about it" Harry replied. There really was nothing keeping him here now Harry thought, With John leaving there was nothing stopping him, and he had always loved to explore.

"All ALLIANCE PERSONEL PLEASE REPORT TO DOCKING BAY C16"

"That's me off then" John muttered hoping his friend would heed his advice. Sticking out his hand for Harry to shake, He was unsurprised when Harry pulled him in for a manly hug.

"Good Luck out there Private" Harry joked giving a mock salute. John replied with a salute of his own as he headed off. Both unaware how much life would change over the coming years.
