Part Two.
Chaos reigned supreme when explosions rang out and the guards scattered by the escaping criminals. Electro smiled when he walked back, it was a simple job all things considered. Naturally, that was the pure and unadulterated beauty of it. These simple jobs sometimes did lead to unprecedented chaos and that's what Electro decided when he walked. His body glowed with the personification of pure power and he blasted a guard for the hell of it.
"Yeah, buddy!" Electro cheered when he saw the stampeding criminals. His old pals Rhino and Shocker were among those who escaped but there were others who escaped in the riots. He rubbed his hands together with glee. The Living Laser and the Grey Gargoyle were among those who escaped, making the most out of the confusion.
Electro saw the chaos but then he found the blast of energy shooting at him. He dodged the attacks, but the SHIELD officers were on the ball. He summoned all of the power that he had into him, before he launched a deadly attack. Sparks began to fly, in more ways then one, before the guns blasted and blew out of the hands of his enemies. Electro dropped down from the attack, the electricity based super villain facing his enemies and his teeth gritting when he rubbed his hands together.
He watched the Purple Man run on past him, slipping into the shadows, followed by Tombstone, the Serpent Society, the Mad Thinker, The Taskmaster, and many, many others rushing out the back door.
"Stand down, Electro."
Electro's face contorted with fury, before his eyes began to glow. "Why don't you make me?"
That question was punctuated by a blast of electricity that knocked the SHIELD agents down and rocked them. Some of the agents were trampled by the escaping criminals, but they all went down for the count. An explosion rang out but Electro kept firing off attack after attack, trying to keep his enemies at bay, before he remarked in a malicious tone.
"You know...you know, if you didn't keep all of your bad guys in one prison, something like this, well it never was going to happen, now would it? WOULD IT?"
Electro fired an attack at his enemies but they began launching water balloons at him.
"Sorry, this suit protects me from all water based attacks, so that little weakness won't do any good," Electro stated before he added as an afterthought. "You've got to keep current!"
The pun got the amount of groans that it deserved but it was at this point where Electro could not cared. He stayed to the course and began to fire a series of rapid fire bolts from his hands, sending his attackers scattering. He was not one to leave anyone alive, especially given that they fired on him first. He blasted the water and they were electrocuted as well.
Electro turned his head, his eyes glowing when he watched them bring in the big guns. Now that they meant business but so did he.
"Lethal ordinance has been granted and will be used if you do not stand down Electro."
Once again, Electro was not about to stand down for he had everyone in the palm of his hand, in fact his hand closed together, waiting for the signal. Surely he was about to have some backup now, surely his mysterious benefactor would not leave him a lurch. Surely, he was going to get paid for this, regardless of what he did. He cleared out the prison and made SHIELD look like the jackasses that they were.
Something resembling doubt settled in Electro's mind and he dropped down to the ground, his knees buckling when they swayed a little bit. He blinked a little bit before his head twisted a little bit and he thought that he had been screwed. Oh yes, he had been screwed big time.
As if on cue to really hammer it in, a figure dressed in black, who Electro could barely see, swooped in. He set a bolt of energy towards Electro. He tried to block it but by blocking it, Electro played right into the hands of this mystery man. The villain gave a shudder when he got shocked and he floated down to the ground, crashing down with an immense impact. Electro found himself shaken and rattled, before the hooded figure dropped down.
"Fury figured you guys could use some back up."
The young man dressed in a pure black bodysuit without a bit of color and his hood was pulled up.
"Seems like we can't go one day without any psychopath causing damage."
The SHIELD agents nodded in agreement, they would have to agree. Hawkeye and Black Widow showed up, a bit late to the party. They looked frazzled, but retained their professional demeanor.
"All but twenty criminals have been detained," Hawkeye stated, giving a shudder at the fact that he missed a few of the heavy hitters.
"But there are hundreds in this place," Harry responded when he turned to them, his face and body still obscured. "I trust you took care of them."
"Yeah, they're back in their cells," Hawkeye confirmed to him but Harry raised an eyebrow towards him. "What...what did I do?"
Harry decided to take pity on him. "Well some of these guys are hardened criminals and they've killed women, children, civilians, or done even worse to them. I don't know which ones got away but..."
"Fury wants them alive," Black Widow stated when she hung her head a little bit. Then again, she didn't go out her way to save these criminals but she did not outright kill them. Even though every single instance where she considered it was quite frankly justified.
"Good for Fury, but he's giving them a second chance to do what?" Harry asked when he turned around and looked out to the distance. "Nine times out of ten, giving a people a second chance, that's going to blow up hard in the face of the fools that give them."
Black Widow winced, she was one of the few that did good with her second chance but she conceded that he had a point. Most people would take a second chance that they were given and turn around to slap others in the face with it. It was simple, human nature. The red haired Russian spy took a moment to think and reflect about the events of her life but she decided that now was not the time to go down memory lane.
"Well we got Electro, I suppose Fury wanted him alive, at least long enough to figure out what his game is," Harry answered, the truth was that he could have dialed back on the spells a little bit but he fell down to the ground hard.
"That is...yes that would be prudent," Black Widow agreed when they held up Electro. His body gave a shudder but his powers had been shut down by Harry. Harry did not tell them this but he shut down the powers of a few more of the escaping criminals and did it quite fatally.
Harry spent the last fifteen years in a situation where it was kill or be killed. He could never even close his eyes, before if he did, the next place he could wake up would be in the afterlife. The Liberator's Movement was far more dangerous than what Harry let on, given some of the deals they made. He had to kill them all and by the end, ninety percent of the magical users in Europe had been decimated in that war.
It was the price to pay to make sure innocents did not die, even if Harry wondered if it was worth it. It was a question that never would be sufficiently answered.
"Well I've been here for less than one day, and I've already stumbled into a situation where all hell just broke loose. It's nice to see that I haven't lost my touch. I was afraid I had when there were a few hours that were quiet and peaceful."
Fury did not find any amusement in this statement from Harry but rather he tried to figure out what he was dealing with. The SHIELD facility was supposed to be secure and unable to be broken into. Some nut like Electro shouldn't be able to get past the front gates which made him suspicious that something was going on that was not quite on the level. He had help and the Director of SHIELD did not like that at all. What it was, Fury had no clue whatsoever but he was determined to find out in no time. He clicked his fingers a little bit and pulled up the latest reports.
The security cameras failed approximately three minutes and nine seconds before Electro staged his daring breakout. Fury was able to obtain that much from what happened. The backups kicked on when he arrived which alerted SHIELD of his presence. By that point, the damage already was long since done.
"This is a situation and we could use all of the help that we can get, Mr. Potter," Fury responded without looking at him, rather he looked on the view screen.
Harry offered a sound of mock surprise. "You mean to tell me that...that the great and powerful Nick Fury, Director of SHIELD, wants my help."
"I don't want anything from you, just I'd appreciate the back up," Fury stated when he did not put his eye on Harry. He wished he had three eyes as opposed to the one, because they could come in handy. "I don't..."
Fury decided to put what he was thinking in as many words as he could and he cleared his throat before he spoke again.
"I know that this sounds...well it sounds as if I'm desperate, but the real people out there are desperate are the civilians," Fury responded when he turned around finally to face Harry. He cleared his throat and spoke again. "I'm waiting...I'm requesting for you to join SHIELD and by extension the Avengers."
"That's an interesting offer Fury, but I'm a free agent and I enjoy not being tied down to a group," Harry stated without a second thought. It was true, Harry Potter, Agent of SHIELD, had a certain ring to it but he was not about to cave in to the demands of Fury. He was no one's stooge, no one's man through and through, he was Harry Potter.
No man and no women could dare to control him. A few tried, but Harry pointed the exit out when they did.
Harry thought it over more carefully than he wanted to let on but he was not completely sure if he was on board with it. Actually when one thought about it, he was never going to be completely on board with something like this.
"I'm taking all offers into consideration and I'll work with you but not for you," Harry offered when he spun around after much thought.
"It's a shame, we could use someone of your talents as part of SHIELD," Fury offered to Harry.
Harry paused and a smile crossed his face. "You give me entirely too much credit, Fury."
Harry thought he was not that bad but at the same time, to say that he was that good would be pushing things a tad bit. The young wizard determined that there was a lot on the line, although what was on the line, he had no idea. He crossed his arms and thought, hoping and planning for the best, even though the best would barely come for him.
"The Purple Man has been sighted and we're closing in."
"Be careful, his mind control abilities are second to none," Fury answered, someone like the Purple Man was a cruel and sadistic villain. Zebekiah Killgrave was his true name and it was not a name that inspired much trust and confidence in people. He caused people to stop breathing just for breathing too loud. He was one sick puppy.
And he was on the loose, when Fury thought that he would be locked away forever.
Harry considered Fury. "It seems like you need my help."
"Yeah, we do, it's one of those all hands on deck situations."
Iron Man turned up and Harry stood back, waiting for the armor clad Avenger to say his piece. There was a pause before Iron Man spoke and what he had to say was not good.
"I won't mince words, we have a bit of a problem."
Harry's face contorted into a grimace. "That's never a good thing to talk about."
"No it isn't," Iron Man agreed when he decided to punch up the scanner information. "There have been these energy portals opening up all over town. Thor thinks that they are of a mystical origin. Which would be your area of expertise if I'm not mistaken."
Harry smiled. "Once again you give me too much credit to claim that I have an area of expertise, but yes, I know a fair bit about magic."
"Knowing a fair bit about magic is more than we all know," Black Widow chimed in when she showed up. "Killgrave has been sighted by Hawkeye and his team. They're closing in to grab him but he could be a distraction."
"He is a distraction, they're all distractions," Harry responded in a cryptic tone of voice.
Natasha felt frustration mount before she turned towards Harry. She spoke in a slow and sour voice. "Think you could be a bit clearer."
"Yes, I could be but how much time do you have for me to explain it?" Harry asked when he turned and looked out the window and saw the blue skies. "I saw these...flashes before I showed up for help you fight AIM."
Fury jumped on that explanation immediately, his eye narrowing when he thought about it. "What kind of flashes?"
Harry answered quickly. "The type of flashes that you don't want to be on the opposite end of. There was someone up there doing something and someone's trying to open up a portal."
He let that sink in ever so briefly before he continued with his explanation. He felt that it was a change that he gave the bad news to others instead of receiving it. It was so refreshing that Harry could not even explain it.
"And if someone wants to try and open up a portal of some sort, well bad is not going to cover it, a catastrophe would be a more likely term."
"And they're after..."
Harry cut Natasha off before she could ask the question. "Immorality, power, the full scale destruction of all life on Earth, petty revenge or even any or all of the above. Take your pick which one you find the worst. "
Natasha now was more curious than ever before but there was no time for her to worry about that now.
"Killgrave went underground, yes, Thor, Panther, Hawkeye, Spider Woman, do what you have to do," Fury stated when he heard it. Killgrave was a threat, and as long as the Purple Man was out there, they were not taking any chances.
"Do you hope that someone like that will be rehabilitated?" Harry asked and Fury ignored this line of question, except for giving Harry a glare that was quite nasty. "Simple question, no need to lose your head over it."
Fury decided that he was not going to dignify that question with a response at least for now.
Black Widow broke the tension and the silence. "Perhaps we should speak with Dillon; there has be a reason why he did what he did."
Fury offered a noncommittal nod, before he turned around and lit up a cigar. "Perhaps there is one."
That was of course providing that Electro was still awake to tell the tale, although Potter swore up and down that he did not kill him. And he was breathing, so there was no lying on that front.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
Electro was strapped and his powers suppressed when he looked up in the eye of Nick Fury. Most people would wet themselves but he played it cool.
"Forget it, you're not getting anything out of me, until I get to speak with my attorney," Electro stated, almost taunting Fury. He was egging the Director of SHIELD on.
"You've forfeited the right to any rights when you entered a secure government installation and attacked agents of SHIELD," Fury responded when he slammed his hands down on the table and practically snarled at Electro. "So talk, or else I'll make you talk."
Electro took a moment to reconcile that in his mind.
"What are you going to do, get the Hulk to smash me?" Electro asked but then Harry Potter turned up, a grin crossing his face.
"Remember me and how my attack caused you pain until you passed out," Harry answered and Electro's eyes widened. "Well you see, I don't have to attack you to cause you pain, and I don't have to make you pass out. All it takes is one move and you will be screaming in pain."
Fury offered an eerily calm statement that was uncharacteristic of him. "So you better talk."
Iron Man and Black Widow watched from the shadows. Tony, being Tony, could not risk saying something.
"Who knew that we'd ever see the day where Nick Fury of all people would be playing the good cop?"
Black Widow offered a shadow of a smile. "There's a first time for everything."
Iron Man decided to keep watching but Electro was an enchantingly tough nut to crack, he could not believe how tough he was to crack. The last he heard, he was a rather low level threat, he had great power but his brains, they left something to be desired.
"So will you say anything?"
Electro once again refused to answer and he was going to be a tough one to crack.
"So what did I miss?"
Hawkeye's voice caused Black Widow and Iron Man to spin around. Ms. Marvel also showed up but did not say anything at least not yet until now.
"Oh not too much, Electro being stubborn, Fury losing his cool, Potter threatening him with super scary magic that would make someone's skin crawl," Iron Man responded when he looked up and turned with a smile. "It's pretty much another day at the office."
"Indeed," Ms. Marvel stated when she looked at him.
"Okay, fine I'll talk."
Hawkeye raised an eyebrow at that quick statement from Electro. "That was...abrupt. I wonder what he said."
"Who Fury or Potter?" Iron Man asked when he kept his eye on them and did not say much more than another word.
"Either, or both," Ms. Marvel chimed in for Hawkeye who nodded by the side. Black Widow's face twisted into a shadow of a smile. She heard enough of it to mentally fill in the blanks.
"I don't know if you want to know," Black Widow offered, she could tell by the way Electro was shaking that there was some kind of threat given that even he could not brush off.
"We have a problem."
That statement never led to good things happening. Hawkeye in particular sighed and looked at Fury when he said that. "What's the damage?"
"Plenty," Fury offered when he drew in his breath and prepared to tell them of the other problem they had to deal with. As if the problems they were dealing with were not enough.
A flash of light erupted in the air, with Harry dropping down to the ground. He sensed there was some high level of magic in the air although what the magic was, he had no idea. All he knew that he needed to walk forward and keep an ear out for everything. His eyes narrowed and he waited for it, the other shoe to drop.
"So do you have any idea what we're looking for?"
Ms. Marvel stated this statement but Harry mostly blocked it out so she cleared her throat to get him. There was still nothing, not even a blinking from him.
"He's in deep thought mode, Carol," Iron Man remarked when he watched Harry.
'It's like this all of the time, the calmest day before the biggest storm,' Harry thought to himself, blocking the Avengers out of his mind and trying to piece together what he needed to do.
"I thought I smelled wood burning," Hawkeye remarked with a smile crossing his face but that statement was ignored by him. "You know, they're called words..."
"Be silent," Harry stated when he listened and closed his eyes, feeling the magic around him.
A rumbling could be heard from beneath them, it shook the ground and Harry knew what was there.
"I've seen these guys before," Iron Man responded when he held his hands up. "More prison escapees!"
"You wish Stark; we busted out a long time ago, going to send you a message from the boss."
There they were, in all of their glory, first there was a tall black man dressed in a yellow body suit with metallic belts, wrist bands, and a neck collar with a mask over his face. His name was Bulldozer, and his eyes glowed with fury when he stepped forward cracking his knuckles. He had a nasty expression on his face when he eyed Iron Man.
The second of the individuals that fought them was another tall man with blonde hair, dressed in a white wife beater top and red pants ,with a red mask on. He stood before them, grimacing with a growl, and his name was simply known as Piledriver.
A third man was tall and black, dressed in green with yellow, and swinging a huge wrecking ball when he stepped forward. His name was Thunderball and he meant business like the rest of them.
The final member of this crew was a man dressed in a green bodysuit with a purple mask and purple gloves, where he stood tall. His name was Wrecker and he stepped forward, holding his crowbar. He patted it against his head, swinging it back and forth, before he gritted down on his teeth.
Together they were the Wrecking Crew and the Avengers had a few run ins with them. It was not pleasant at all.
"So, I'm guessing these guys are trouble," Harry remarked and there were a few nods. He smiled in spite himself and stood poised for battle. "Excellent."
Harry blasted a blue light out of his hand, which caused Wrecker's crowbar to weigh ten times its normal weight or at least the weight that he could hold up. He struggled and this allowed Black Widow to jump in, to kick him in the face, sending him down.
"Not a bad shot," Harry offered but she dodged the wrecking ball from Thunderball before Iron Man blasted it from his hands.
"Now that was a good shot," Iron Man stated but Piledriver knocked him from behind, sending him crashing to the ground with a thud. Stark rubbed his jaw and grimaced, before he commented in a pained voice. "And that's what I get for shooting my mouth off."
Ms Marvel dove forward and shouldered her enemy in the chest, knocking Piledriver backwards with her immense strength. She poured on the attack with punch after punch, knocking him down and cracking into his skin. He staggered, dropping to both knees and she grabbed him by the hair, before flinging him down with a great force.
Bulldozer cracked his knuckles but Hawkeye aimed an arrow and it shot towards him. He caught the arrow and snapped it nastily.
"Hah, try again," Bulldozer stated, when Thunderball got back to his feet, but Harry tripped him up and caused him to land hard on his face and neck.
"Will I do?"
Ms Marvel swung her fist and with a solid crack knocked Bulldozer in the back of the head, forcing him to fly ass over tea kettle before he landed on the ground, nearly flipping onto his back. He was down and out for the count and the heroine stood over him.
The Wrecking Crew were down on the ground after a short but intense battle. The group of would be heroes stood over them, looking rather pleased at their victory.
"You've got be kidding me, these guys, we barely broke a sweat," Hawkeye stated brushing his hands off. "I thought this was going to be some kind of huge threat."
"A threat yes, a huge one, not really, more like a distraction for something," Harry responded when he walked over and saw that the Wrecking Crew down on the ground vanished, before they crumbled into dust. "Constructs made for the sole purpose of distracting us."
Iron Man summed up the statement as only he could. "So we've been duped."
"Yes, they're trying to figure it...I don't know but this isn't good," Harry offered when he spun around, and looked at everything but he heard the humming.
A humming that got louder when he took a few more steps, he needed to fully assess the situation and then proceed.
"What is it?"
"Trouble."
Black Widow's eyes looked towards his before she casually responded with a simple, yet very annoyed, inquiry. "Could you be a bit more specific?"
"Someone is trying to branch the dimensional barriers between this world and some kind of nightmare dimension," Harry answered grimly before he cut off the obvious question. "As for which, I don't know, there are many, an infinite number of dastardly possibilities. I've seen these kind of portals before."
"Great you've seen them but shutting them down is a problem," Iron Man stated and Harry agreed.
"Yes, shutting them down...shutting them down is a problem," Harry responded, his voice breaking a little bit for the first time but he reigned himself in and kept his thoughts simple and fluid. "Shutting down the portal would save many of us but the problem is finding them before it's too late."
Ms Marvel offered a suggestion. "Do you think..."
"Tracking the energy signature, yes I can do that," Harry offered when he stepped forward and brushed his hair from his eyes, before he watched everything. The light began to blink a little bit around them. "The problem is there can be so many fake outs. Magic is what it is because there is no science whatsoever to it. There is no way to explain it no matter how much our people tried."
"It's one of those things that is," Black Widow stated and Harry nodded in confirmation, that was the easiest way he could have magic explained, if there ever was an explanation.
"Good to see someone gets the fundamental truth of magic."
Iron Man chimed in with some words of his own. "So I'm reminded why I'm not too fond of magic, I mean..."
"Bad experiences, yeah I know, I do it and I've had more than my share of bad experiences with it," Harry stated before he tracked the portal and flinched. He drew in his breath before he let it out. "Well isn't this a bitch."
"What, what is it?" Black Widow stated when she stood up and she felt the hairs on the back of her neck prickle up but did not say anything more. Harry remained silent for a moment.
To say this was not good would be the understatement of the century but that was something that Harry dealt with more and more. He turned his head around a little bit, closing his eyes when he thought about it.
"Five, six, seven different portals opened up around the world, for what purpose, I don't know and to where I don't know," Harry offered when he turned his head around and stood on his heels. "I'd report back to Fury, I've got a situation that I have to deal with."
Harry knew that the Avengers meant well but this was one of those situations where despite their abilities, he was in way over their heads. These portals popping open all around the world made him think about what was going to happen. The young wizard stepped forward, hearing the humming in the warehouse. That meant he was perilously close to what he edged towards.
He knew by now not to run in throwing all caution to the wind because he suffered some kind of attack. The young wizard pushed himself forward and threw his head back, thinking about everything. The dark haired wizard turned his head around and walked across the warehouse, sticking through the shadows.
He saw a group of men dressed in green bodysuits with eye goggles on. On their suits, there was a patch with a yellow snake on it with multiple heads. Harry stood rigid, he noticed the symbol. He took a brief look at Fury's computer when he was not looking, managing to get an assessment on some of the top threats in the world.
There was no threat that was more dangerous than HYDRA. Harry became invisible in the shadows and edged closer, soon he got there, all he had to do was walk closer.
"Phase two of our plan reaches completion," stated the man dressed in purple with a pink facemask and white eye holes. He had a black belt around him. "Phase three will be next."
"You better hold up your end of the bargain, Zemo."
"My dear, you don't have to worry about me holding up my end of the deal, our little group will make us masters of this world," Zemo stated when he stood tall and proud. "Captain America is mine to deal with, you can have Thor as your pet, and for the rest of the Avengers..."
"Annihilate them."
Zemo bowed his head before he checked to the magical gems that were hooked up to the machine. He turned with a malicious smile, when it dripped from his voice.
"Soon the Avengers will be no more, and we will be supreme. HAIL HYDRA!"
"HAIL H..."
A loud crack echoed when half of the HYDRA officers found themselves taken down to the ground with one swift attack. Zemo spun around, pulling out a sword, before he stood tall. His remaining agents crowded around him and their hearts thumped over their chests.
"There's someone here," Zemo whispered, backing off with the sword brandished in his hand. "Show yourself and your death might be a bit less..."
The sword summoned from his hand and landed with a clatter. One by one by one, the HYDRA agents were hung upside down and then they flew backwards with a giant crack of their spines. They flopped to the ground like a jelly fish and could barely even move from the attacks they received.
"I know you're here, show yourself," Zemo responded when he put his hands up in the air and aimed for the attack.
Harry swooped around; he could see that HYDRA was getting nervous and he endeavored to use their nerves against them. They brought out the big guns and he had to be careful. If he established some sort of pattern, it would be easier for them to find him despite his lack of visibility. He swung around the area and stuck to the wall, carefully edging through a little bit, his knees knocking together a little bit. He drew in a breath and drew out a breath, before he clapped his hands together and put himself deep into thought.
A loud explosion rang out and Harry dodged behind the crates, before he put up shield to block the attack from striking him.
Then there was an eerie amount of silence registered and Harry's head thumped, thumped, thumped, when he twisted his head around, turning himself a little bit. The young wizard waited and saw that the portal completely opened.
'Oh boy, please let it be the cute fluffy bunnies dimension,' Harry thought himself, even though cute fluffy bunnies could be rather dangerous if provoked, as Luna demonstrated to him one time. But that was beside the point.
The bright flashes of light swirled around him and the remaining HYDRA agents backed up in trepidation before Harry stepped back. He held his hand up, ready to fight whatever came through the portal. Whatever it was, he could not allow it to get out in the city.
A part of him wished that he had some back up but he did not want to involve anyone else in the situation as he dealt with it. There was one of those times where Harry stepped around resolved to fight things for better or for worse, before turning his head around and put his hands on his hips. He blinked a little bit and drew in a breath before he saw it flash through the portal.
Yeah it was hideous but that was a statement that went without saying. There was a beat of his heart that went by steady when he turned to face his latest adversary. Black tentacles grabbed the hapless HYDRA agents that were stupid enough to crowd around the portal. There was a crunch of bones and a splattering of blood, that spilled on the ground when the creature attacked the hapless nameless minion that was too stupid to move away from the portal.
Harry watched the HYDRA blood splatter on his shoes and he paused for a little bit.
Its skin was slimy black, like tar and it leaked to the ground. It had one eye, blue and and bloodshot, that peered to him. It had a wide gaping mouth with more sharp teeth than should be allowed by lie. And it had thirteen tentacles and all of them were poised to feed on anything that got near it before the creature completely exited out of the portal.
Harry summoned his full power and blasted it in the eye with a bolt of red light. The curse caused it to be blinded, at least temporarily. He managed to find the gem and mutter under his breath in a strangled and incomprehensible tongue, hoping the incantation would work.
And it could shoot bolts of magic from its tentacles which blew men to dust. That made things even better. Thankfully it was the HYDRA troops that got it and not Harry.
Harry summoned all of his power and blasted it again, and again, before pushing him towards the portal. His knees staggered when he was about ready to drop to the ground. He sealed the portal somehow, pushing himself to his limits.
Thankfully, Harry did not black out because he would die in shame if he did. He was dizzy and grabbed onto the wall, his knees sinking underneath him when he remained on his feet and he shook off everything.
"And it's like this all over the world," Harry responded but Zemo was gone.
They had far bigger problems than Zemo, who or what were they trying to release?
A deep rumbling voice could be heard from a dimension made of fire. He was glowing and his eyes glowed with a demonic orange fury.
"Soon, I will be free, once those fools are manipulated in opening the proper portal. The Enchantress and Zemo think that they are under control of this but their Masters of Evil will be my puppets."
All he had to do is wait, soon all would burn.
To Be Continued in the Next Part.
