Chapter 2

The Great Escape

"My name is Albus Dumbledore and I demand that you leave these fine people to their lovely evening," said the bearded one with a hard twinkle in his eyes. There was no way he'd allow anything to happen to Harry.

"Who do ya think you are bub, "Sorcerer Supreme" Steven Strange!" said an irritated Logan. He really wanted to stick someone with his claws.

"I could care less about who you are Wizard," said a very annoyed Magneto. "I've come for the boy."

"Well ya aint leaving with the boy'" came the gruff voice of the wooden legged one.

"How do you propose to stop me?"

"It's an even game it's four against four," said the red headed one.

"Wait a minute, hold the phone. We are not with him, we were sent for Harry to bring him to a school for Gifted Students," said Scott. He really wanted to get out of this mess.

"I'm afraid Mr. Potter isn't going anywhere. I am his guardian and he is staying with his caring relatives, and attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Dumbledore said. He was really annoyed that these people did not know who he is. Most people would be quaking in their boots at the mention of his name. He didn't notice that he was infuriating Logan who wanted to know who would place a kid with that family.

"Wait till I get down there bub, I'm going show you my claws real close and personal."

"Harry when I tell you let go of Logan and I will catch you. Can you do that for me Harry?" Jean asked receiving a frightened nod from the nine year old. 'Scott when Harry lets go I need you to blast Magneto so he doesn't get Harry.' She projected after knowing Magneto plan to get Harry first.

At the signal Scott blast Magneto, who was focused on Harry, dead center, causing Magneto to fly into the awaiting wizards taking them out. He also lost concentration and Logan his arms fell with Harry still in his arms. Jean was busy keeping the wizards multi-colored beams of lights from striking her friends, but knew they had to leave the area quickly.

They started their retreat towards their aircraft the blackbird, but their retreat was cut off with the arrival of six more wizards. These were dressed in black robes and white masks. Before they could see what they wanted, the four wizards pursuing them took aim at the masked men giving them a chance to escape to the plane. Looking back Harry could see a multitude of different colored lights coming from the sticks the wizards were holding.

They could see the plane in the distance and were almost home free when the bearded wizard Dumbledore appeared out of thin air. "Now where do you think you are going with the boy? He has to stay with his relatives if he is going to be protected?" said the old man.

"Protected from what bub, because he sure wasn't protected from those things you call relatives," Logan was being held back by an unseen force. He was going to rip this gut apart as soon as he was free.

"Your simple mind could not contemplate the forces that would destroy this boy if given the chance. He is only protected while he is with his family."

"Look, Dumbledore we were sent here to get Harry because he has power that he needs to learn to control. The place we are taking him to he will be taught to control these powers," Scott said starting to get angry.

"These powers that you refer to are his magic and in a year he will be going to Hogwarts where he will be taught to control his magic." Dumbledore said sounding like he was talking to a two year old. 'I must control the boy if I am to be even more powerful when Tom comes back.'

"Look Dumbledore, we know Harry is a wizard, those are not the powers we are talking about. We mean his mutant powers," said Jean. She could hear this man's thoughts and did not like what he had planned for Harry.

"He can't be a mutant; his powers were bound when he was a born to keep him normal. There is no way he could have broken through those binds," said an irate Dumbledore. 'There's no way this brat can be stronger than me so soon.'

"What do you mean you bound his mutant powers? You could have killed him if his powers got to strong. What kind of a man are you." Jean could feel that the Phoenix wanted to come out and rip this man apart for wanting to hurt someone so pure and innocent.

"Its for the greater good that this boy stays where I can watch him and make sure that he faces his destiny at Hogwarts." Couldn't this people see that he only wanted what was best for the wizarding world? They needed someone that could manipulate and control them. They needed someone like Albus Dumbledore in control. "I can teach him to control these powers.

"How can you teach him to control powers that you know nothing about!' said Scott he was also getting irritated with the old man.

"If I can't teach him to control them then we will just have to bind them till we are ready to unleash him," said Dumbledore like it was the simplest thing in the world." I can keep him down trotted with his relatives and build his power up and unleash him on Tom taking them both out and leaving me the hero. It's perfect. Good thing I thought of it.

"You really should learn to close your mind you old codger!" yelled an angry Jean. Her eyes started to turn black and the guys knew they had to get out of there before Phoenix could unleash her full angrier.

"Take the boy and leave, I'll deal with old man," came the deep voice of Phoenix. She had the old man hanging in the air. Scott did not want to leave Jean but he knew it was the only chance they had to get Harry and leave Britain. He sent one of his optical blasts at Dumbledore and left caring Harry and dragging Logan behind.

It didn't take long to fire up the engines and they were off and on their way to the States. Harry gazed amazingly at the plane before he settled down and fell asleep with his head resting on Logan. Logan wasn't happy to leave Jean behind but he knew that she could deal with the old fart easily. Professor Xavier had taught Jean to control the Phoenix so he knew she wouldn't wipe out the whole neighborhood. He was worried about what Charles would say about their situation. He did not want Harry to stay in England until it was necessary. They soon touched down in New York at the Xavier School for Gifted Students and Harry's new home.

Friends, Fun, and Powers

The next year went by fast for Harry. He had really loved being at the School. He had made a lot of friends in the other mutants at the Institute. He spent a lot of time with Logan and Storm.

Storm was like the nurturing mother that he wished he had. She would help him with his homework and let him help her with the gardening. It was the only chore at his relatives that he liked doing. When he wasn't with those two he was being chased through the mansion by Bobby Drake and Marie. Bobby controls ice and Marie could leech off someone's powers. They were currently dripping paint from head to toe courtesy of a prank played by Harry. He was trying to prank Scott and Jean but the other two got there first. So now he was running for his life hoping to escape his big brother and his girlfriend.

He rounded the corner and came face to face with the man he had escaped only a year ago, Magneto. "Well why isn't it young Harry. I was hoping to run into you today. "Now why don't we go find a quiet place to talk? Don't worry I won't hurt you." He said throwing Harry a reassuring smile. Harry followed the older mutant into one of the empty classrooms. He was ready to use his optic blast to get away. It wasn't as strong as Scott's power yet but it would buy him the time he needed to escape.

"How are your studies going?"

"Fine."

"Learning a lot from Charles and his teachers?"

"Yes, I learn a lot. But that's not why you asked me here."

"No your right, I just thought I use some small talk to break the ice."

"What do you want, Magneto?" said Harry getting frustrated by the small talk.

"I want to make sure you were being taken care of and to share some information with you that I think you will find, interesting." He knew he had Harry's attention

"They take good care of me and are teaching me to control my powers."

"What about your wizard powers?"

"I'm learning from books right now but the plan is to try and get Dr. Strange to help teach me control."

"Yes Dr. Strange is a good choice how bout my Wanda. She can help as well."

"Why would you let your daughter help me sir."

"Because I like you Harry and I think you are the future. I think you will lead our people to the forefront of this world."

"Why me?"

"Because you Harry, command people to you. You tamed the Wolverine. With my help we can put the mutants where they belong, in front of those dreadful Homo sapiens."

They were interrupted by a red blast busting the door down.

"What the hell do you think your doing Magneto!" yelled Scott. He was flanked by Bobby, Marie, and Logan. Logan had his claws out.

"I was just chatting with young Harry here. I thought he could use some news from Britain."

"Hello Erik," said a man with a bald head in a wheelchair. "What do we owe this visit?"

"I have news from the wizarding world, it seems they are looking for the boy and have offered a reward for his location and those that kidnapped him. They even put out a lovely description of your three teachers. You might want to keep the kid close there are many wizards looking for him."

"Why are you telling us this?" asked Jean.

"I like the kid, he will bring entertainment into our lives." said a smirking, Magneto. "Well kid if you ever need me I'm sure you can find me and remember what I said. You could lead our people into battle. And with that Magneto was gone.

"Well that was interesting," said Scott. "What do you think he's up to Professor?"

"I don't know, but we should take him on the offer. Wanda could teach Harry a lot until we get help from Steven."

"Well I don't trust Magneto to not try and pull something with the kid," replied Logan.

"Yes we will need to keep and eye on the training and make sure nothing happens to Harry," said the professor.

Over the next year Harry spent time at Stark Towers where he got to meet the Avengers. He was taught how to control his magic by The Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff. She couldn't teach Harry how to do magic like normal witches and wizards so he learned how to do it wandless, which is a miracle in itself. During one of his training sessions another of his gifts manifested. It all started when Harry was dodge balls of paint that his super speed kicked in and he accidentally ran through the wall and the next wall and then next till he managed to stop his self before he fell out of the third story window.

"Wow kid you got some speed. Maybe when you get it under control me and you can have a race," laugh Pietro Maximoff, Wanda's twin brother, also known as Quicksilver. Pietro was the fastest person Harry had ever seen. To be offered a race by him was a high honor indeed. "I might have to teach you myself," offered the silver haired mutant.

"Sure Pietro any time you want," said a grinning Harry. He loved going to Stark Towers even though he only went twice a week there was always something going on. Like last week when Tony Stark was testing a weapons system for Iron Man and he managed to blow out all the windows and even a wall on the fourth floor. Tony was also able to make a computer system that worked with Harry's magic.

When Harry arrived back to the mansion with Jean he noticed the concern faces of his friends and teachers. He grew concerned when he noticed that Logan was missing.

"What's wrong? Where's Logan? Did something happen to him?" Harry was nearly in tears with worry.

"I'm sorry Harry," said the Professor looking at one of his favorite students. "They took him before we could stop them."

"Who?" cried Harry.

"Dumbledore."
