Hello guys! I'm tired, let me tell you a Lazer Game followed by an impromptu Karaoke is quite tiring! So here's the promised chapter and good night!
WARNING: Mpreg, Slash, Swearing
Harry woke up confused as why he had woken up. He waited until he realised it was his stomach that had actually woken him up with a growl before sitting up, rubbing his eyes and blindly and tiredly groped for his glass, which were laying on the nightstand by the bed. Harry scratched his head as he stood up and walked toward the outline of an adjacent door that led to the bathroom. While Harry did his business, he couldn't help but think about Johann and Steve and their actions yesterday. He knew, at some point, he'll have to make a choice and so far, he could only choose between two options: one, he hooks back with Steve, if the guy wants him that's it, and they raise the children, second he hooks back with Johann, who would gladly take him back, and they raise the children. Both options didn't settle down right with him.
'I think I'll take option three: I don't choose and I raise my kids, alone'thought sadly Harry as he left the bathroom after washing his hands.
Still clad in his sleepwear, Harry walked out of his room and heard noises coming from the living room. Padding softly into the hallway, Harry saw Tony tinkering on the couch with his suit—looking ecstatic to be back around technology since the music and TV were on—from the silhouette on the balcony, Johann was out, probably smoking and there was no signs of Steve.
"Hello"greeted Harry.
Tony's head raised and he gave Harry a grin.
"Looks like Sleeping Beauty has awoken"Tony stopped what he was doing, put his things away to go and embrace the wizard.
A strong smell hit his nose and Harry immediately blocked his breathing as Tony hugged him and he tried breathing through his mouth. Harry tried not to push Tony away because he knew the smell was definitely coming from the man.
"You took your sweet time, you know?"said Tony
"Really?"squeaked Harry, doing his best to try and not breath through his nose.
"Yeah! It's already one in the afternoon"informed Tony
"Why didn't you wake me ?! We could have started our search!"
Tony crossed his arms.
"We all agreed to let you sleep your much needed sleep quota"replied the American Genius"You gave us quite a scare yesterday after you /tp'ed us into Stuttgart, I have never seen Steve nor Schmidt this scared when they saw you unconscious"
Harry looked down.
"Sorry, Magic Depletion can do that, I think I used way too much magic yesterday"
Tony rolled his eyes dramatically.
"Not that much, I mean you took on a God, you read Steve's mind, which by the way I want to know everything you saw, and you teleported us right into Germany, I think you can do better"chided Tony sarcastically, making Harry blush and look down again.
Tony sighed then hugged Harry again and felt the man tense suddenly.
"Harry?"Tony left their embrace and took Harry's head in his hands, staring intensely into the wizard's eyes"Are you all right?"
Harry's lips pursed as he identified the strong smell right off Tony. The man smelled like coffee, metal and sweat. Harry wanted to say 'yes' but instead said
"You reek"
Tony frowned at him as the wizard put his arm over the lower part of his face. The genius smelled himself before staring at Harry.
"I smell?"
"No, you reek"drawled Harry
Still frowning, Tony walked to the large glass door of the balcony and opened it.
"Schmidt!"
"Was?"Harry heard Johann growl.
"Come in, it's important"demanded Tony.
"Fick dich selbst"hissed Johann.
"It's important, it concerns Harry"
As soon as Tony said that, there were hurried steps cracking in the snow then the red-skinned man entered, shaking the snow off his shoes. When Johann entered the premise, Harry, even from where he was standing, could smell leather, cigarette and even snow on the man. Johann worriedly stared at Tony then at Harry and would have made a beeline for the younger man if Tony hadn't stopped him with a question.
"Do I smell?"
Johann raised a non-existent eyebrow at the smaller brunet.
"You asked, no, demanded that I get back inside, just to ask me if you smelled?"
"Harry said I smelled"countered Tony
"Then he must be right"drawled Johann, walking toward Harry but the wizard stepped back when Johann's strong smell assaulted him the closer he got to him.
"G'way! You reek too"groaned Harry, making shoo'ing motion.
Johann came to a full stop and stared confusedly at him. Behind the sapphire-eyed man, Tony pointed a finger at the wizard.
"See!"
"Shut up, Stark"hissed Johann, glaring at Tony from over his shoulder before turning a calm gaze at the wizard"Harry, what's going on? Is everything all right?"
Harry nodded, making sure to keep his arm over his lower face.
"It's like he has a super smelling sense!"replied Tony, approaching the wizard who took a step back.
"Sir, I did my research and I found that pregnant people have a heightened sense of smell"piped up suddenly JARVIS from the Iron Man's helmet Tony had been tinkering with"Some of them strong enough to make them sick"
"Except when I was pregnant with James and Lily, I didn't get morning sickness or sudden weight gain, or heightened sense of smell when I brought Johann his meals, okay I just fell off sometime, as if something was wrong with me"Harry shrugged"I thought is was stress at first"
"Sometime, denial can dampen the symptoms of a pregnancy which can be the morning sickness, weight gain but rarely the sense of smell and with you acknowledging this pregnancy, the dampener has been taken off and now you will feel all the symptoms full blast"
Harry gazed at the Iron Man helmet with a smile.
"J, have you been searching pregnancy stuff on my account?"
JARVIS stayed silent and Harry's face lit up.
"You did! You totally did!"
"I was merely broadening my knowledge on the matter"
Harry gave out a laugh.
"J, you're awesome, don't let anyone tell you otherwise"complimented Harry, walking around Johann and sitting on the couch where he grabbed the helmet and held it to his eyes level.
"Why would I feel down if someone criticised me?"asked JARVIS, a hint of British sarcasm in the tone.
"Touché"replied Harry, setting the helmet on his knees.
The handle of the entrance door moved then Steve entered the suite, bringing food with him from what Harry could faintly smell.
"Hey Capsicle!"piped Tony, beside the genius Johann smirked.
Steve groaned at the nickname from the entrance hallway.
"One day, Stark, I'm going to bash your head with my shield"
Harry heard Steve move inside a room and the sound of rustling plastic bags and things being put away. After he was done, Steve appeared in the living room and his face lit up slightly upon seeing him.
"Hey"said Harry with a small smile.
"Hey, you"answered Steve as he approached the wizard.
Nose scrunching, Harry's body leaned slightly away from Steve when he smelled an unidentifiable smell on him.
"You reek"growled Harry, plucking his nose.
Steve confusedly eyed the wizard.
"He's been like this since he woke up"informed Johann"For him, we have a strong odour that's making him uncomfortable"
"Except I don't smell"whined Tony
Harry rolled his eyes.
"Tones, you reek of sweat, coffee and metal from tinkering with your suit"
Tony sniffed himself and Johann gave a disgusted glare at genius.
"Du bist ekelhaft, Stark"growled Johann and Steve nodded.
"I still don't smell"growled Tony.
Unknowingly, the men had got closer to him and Harry felt like being assaulted by all those smells.
"Harry, are you all right?"asked Steve when he noticed Harry's pallor and walked a couple of steps toward him.
Oh, Merlin! The blond smelled like a mouldy and rotten grocery store and it made him sick, like real sick. His hand flying to his mouth, Harry stood up, the helmet hitting the ground, and ran into the hallway toward his room, trying to keep the bile from resurfacing too soon. When Harry was in his bathroom, he happily kneeled before the toilet and started praising the porcelain god. Holding onto the bowl, Harry retched bile and spit from his mouth and nose. Tears in his eyes, Harry heaved for a good moment, barely sensing when someone entered the bathroom and sat beside him. Harry tiredly leaned his head on the rim of the bowl and waited for the sickness to pass. Something wet and cold was laid on his nape and he let out a groan, raising his head to glare at whomever put that here. Before Harry could see the person, they had gently grabbed his face and were rubbing away the traces of sickness and tears on his face. Harry may have not seen the person but he recognised the softness of the skin of those hands to know it was Johann that was freshening him up.
"Better?"asked the red-skinned man when he was done.
Harry inhaled the bleach scent of the bathroom and nodded, glad to just faintly smell the man. Grabbing something beside him, Johann handed Harry a glass of water.
"Here"
Harry gladly took the glass from him and rinsed his mouth, getting ride of the taste of bile and swallowing the rest of the water to soothe his aching throat.
"T-Thanks"breathed Harry, giving the glass back and flushing the toilet.
Johann nodded then stood up and it's only now that Harry noticed he had changed clothes, probably because of his heightened sense of smell.
"Can you stand?"asked Johann as he put the glass on the counter of the sink.
Harry shrugged and tried to stand but immediately his vision swarm and he groaned as he felt a bout of bile rising from his stomach while he shivered, suddenly cold. Above him, Johann cursed and kneeled down beside him, grabbing his face gently. Harry had trouble focusing on him. Johann let out another curse.
"W-Whazit?"slurred Harry
"Hypoglycaemia"replied Johann, gently taking him in his arms and lifting him slowly"You need sugar"
Harry put his head into Johann neck and breathed the man's scent of fire and leather with just a hint of cigarette, and strangely the smell was reassuring. Johann carried him to the living room then into the small kitchen. Steve followed him when he noticed the state Harry was in.
"Can I help?"asked Steve, his tone leaving no objection to his helping.
"You brought food, take out something with lot of sugar in, he's having an episode of hypoglycaemia"answered Johann, who was about to set Harry down on the ground but refrained when Steve proposed his help, keeping the wizard in his arms.
Steve nodded and rummaged through the cupboards and the fridge but found nothing and Steve cursed. When he had taken food, he thought of taking the healthiest food he could find but didn't think about sugared food.
"Damnit!"swore Steve again.
"Don't tell me, you didn't take anything remotely with sugar"deadpanned Johann.
"I followed what was on the list, and it didn't say anything about sugar"growled Steve
"Can't you think sometimes out of the box, Dummkopf!?"
"At last I did something, what about you?"hissed Steve
Harry gave a pitiful groan as they bickered. Someone cleared their throat and heads turned to stare—glare— at the genius who had a bowl of fruit in his hands.
"It was in the living room"Tony showed them the bowl"That should do?"
The super soldiers glared at each other one last time then nodded.
"Great, now come on you two and let's put Harry on the couch, he'll be more comfortable"said Tony, walking into the living room.
Johann followed him then set himself and Harry on the couch after Tony cleared it from the mess he made. Steve exited the kitchen to stand by the couch and watch them. Johann had settled Harry half on the couch half propped against his chest, serving as a pillow for the wizard to rest upon.
"Here, bud"Tony took a grape and put it at Harry's lips.
Obediently, Harry opened his mouth and the green grape was gently put in it and suddenly this simple grape was like the best and most delicious thing in the world for him. Extending his hands for other grapes, he popped another one, then another, then another and so on, until his cheeks were ready to pop out. Someone snorted and he snapped back staring at each men in the room.
"Whu?"
"Nothing"replied Steve with a small smile.
Harry gave them all a long look then shrugged before returning to his fruits. Soon the grapes were gone, followed by the oranges, the apples, all four bananas and even the kiwis which he had hated the taste for a long time.
"Damn, Potter, you really stuffed your face"remarked Tony when the bowl was more than empty.
"And you know what? I'm still hungry"joked Harry.
Tony laughed and Harry felt the chest behind him rumble.
"I'll go make something"said Steve, making his way toward the kitchen"I just hope it will smell good to you"
Harry looked outside, through the window and got a gut feeling.
"Actually, let's eat out"replied the wizard, transfixed by the snow covered city.
"Eat out?"Johann asked above him.
Harry nodded and stood up—ignoring the people that moved toward him in case he fell— and walked towards the window. The sky was a light grey and Harry was sure he saw a few snowflakes fall. The residual magic of Loki suddenly reacted, as if sensing something happening in the city. Harry started when he sensed this foreign magic inside him.
'Use my magic when time comes'breathed a voice, sounding so much like Loki's.
"Something is happening in the city"muttered Harry and the others heard him.
"I thought we were supposed to go to the Black Forest"said Tony
Harry frowned and walked to his room.
"Get dressed, something is coming"said Harry before disappearing into his room.
—
Johann would have thought he would lead the group since he had once been in Stuttgart—even if it had changed a lot in nearly a century— when he had been in the SS but it was Harry who actually led them. The wizard was behaving weirdly, taking aimless turn after turn in the city, sometimes so sharp he would slip on a thin layer of ice and would have kissed the ground if it weren't for Steve or him catching him just in time, or sometime he would turn into a street, stop, backtrack then take another.
"Something is wrong with him"whispered Steve for him only.
Johann stared into the blond's eyes that were behind thick-rimmed black glasses—Johann had of course raised an eyebrow when the blond had put them on along with casual, warm clothes and a hoodie.
"I can only agree, Kaptäin"replied Johann, his eyebrows frowning lightly.
Stark had been kind enough to fix his Veil—all the way cursing HYDRA's 'lack of real technology, it's not the Dark Age for fuck's sake!'—and too opted for the casual clothes with a hoodie. And when not only Sark but also Harry came out wearing hoodies, Tony had joked about all of them being member of a brotherHOOD—this pun had Tony Stark being hit upside the head by the rest of them. Harry suddenly took a sharp turn, slipping slightly on ice again and Johann grabbed the wizard around the waist and helped him stand upright.
"You should be careful, young man"scolded an elder lady, in German, that was passing by the two of them.
"Don't worry, I'm making sure of it"answered Johann, his tone calm but holding a hint of 'Mind your own fucking business'"Harry, you should slow down"
Harry ignored him, his gaze half glazed and focused ahead of him. The wizard extracted himself from Johann's grip walked a few steps ahead then stopped.
"What is he doing?"asked Tony when he remarked Harry had halted right in the middle of the street, people walking past, curiously gazing at him.
Both super soldiers shrugged and suddenly, Harry started running.
"Harry?! Harry!?"called the three as they saw the wizard disappear in the crowd.
Harry ignored the men calling for his name, he was glad he had followed his gut and Loki's weaning magic inside him as it lead him toward who could point him to his children. Hiding himself in the swarm of people, he stalked the Carrow siblings.
