Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hijacked.
Harry approached her. The Incubus sensed that this was not any kind of trick, but at the same time, he couldn't help being a little bit on edge. He closed the gap in between the two of them. He went face to face with the godmother of all dark magic.
She didn't back up, she didn't flinch. She stood still across them. She was half emerged in the mist. The woman surveyed Harry as if he was some oddity that she didn't have an opportunity to figure out. Her leg stretched forward when she left the area of the mist. Her arms shook when she approached him.
Selene arrived next to Harry. The Black Queen of the Hellfire looked very pleased with the situation. She resembled the cat that ate the canary. Her dark eyes flashed towards the woman in the shadows. There was only one smug statement that could come out of her mouth. "So we finally got you."
"I was cast out of my realm, so I had no choice but to arrive here," Morgan said. She looked at the Incubus who approached her. She had every chance to step back. The woman didn't take any of those chances. "It is not here by my choice…"
"That's what they say," Harry commented. He could hear the sounds of combat off in the distance. The world would be different. "But do you expect me to believe that?"
Morgan looked at Harry, her jaw halfway away from dropping. She managed to stop herself from allowing her jaw to drop. She wouldn't look so dignified if she did. Harry reached forward and he touched his hand to her cheek. This simple touch might not have seemed like an action that changed the world. It was an action that got her blood boiling and her eyes locked onto his eyes.
"I knew that you were marked and it was only a matter of time before you would find me," Harry told her. "And you did cause a fair amount of this trouble, didn't you?"
Morgan didn't argue that point. She stood up straight as could be. "My plans….didn't got as planned. HYDRA stepped all over them and then there was Victor….you know how that goes."
"Both elements are plans that will be in the past," Selene commented. She ran into Morgan several times over the centuries. She wore numerous guises in her attempt at deception. There was no mistaking who they are. "But, you are where you belong. You have not been cast out, you been brought home."
Even a sorceress the caliber of Morgan Le Fay could not help and be a bit intimidated when she was trapped between two extremely powerful forces. The Incubus King didn't need to exert too much power to bring women underneath his beck and call.
He walked behind her. There was no touching. It wasn't needed. His mere presence was more than sufficient to cause her skin to eat up. The woman's heart kept beating faster and faster.
"Time is an interesting thing, isn't it?" Harry whispered in her ear. She didn't react that statement. "Those who manipulate it have the power."
He waved his hand and the sounds of battle stopped around them. The only three that were aware that any time had passed was Harry, Selene, and Morgan.
"I couldn't do this if I was an active member of that battle," Harry said. "That was why I took myself out of the battle and placed myself here. Here is where I needed to be."
He saw Captain America in the process of smashing his shield into the face of the Red Skull. It was a moment in time he would cherish forever.
"Yes," Harry said. He levitated a bullet that had been sent into the air once he froze time. He re-directed the trajectory and enhanced it using a bit of magic. "This is what you can do if you set your mind to something. It isn't a glorious ending by any means. I'm certain that the Red Skull thinks that he will rise again."
Harry smiled.
"Fools have tried to destroy HYDRA, but you only cut off one head and another two grow in its place," Harry said. He levitated another bullet where it was aimed at the Red Skull. There was a third bullet. He didn't want to leave this to chance. "But, I'm not a fool. First I eliminate their leaders, then I replace them. I'm the head that grows in its place. And I'm not the head that can be simply cut off."
Harry smiled when he turned to Morgan. The woman looked excited about the power he exhibited. He grabbed her by the arm lightly.
The two of them vanished off to the side along with Selene. Selene eagerly watched the carnage that was about to follow. There would be an amazing amount of bloodshed that would happen. The woman couldn't wait to see it all as it transpired.
Every last bullet connected to the head of the Red Skull. They pierced him and his head exploded.
Captain America watched when his hated enemy dropped to the ground before his feet. Someone took him out. It was over.
The chaos that was going to follow would be even more insane than ever before.
"I didn't understand what the Red Skull was doing until it was too late," Morgan whispered. She hated that she had such an obvious blind spot.
"It will be made up for later," Harry said. There was a slightly threatening tone to his statement that caused Morgan to wonder what he had in mind.
"The magic is Asgardian," Selene popped up out of the blue. "And the Red Skull tapped into further realms that he shouldn't"
It was almost a shame that the Red Skull's death happened so quickly and so swiftly. Harry wanted his death to be more tormenting than that. He wanted to rip him to shreds for what he caused.
Valeria, Illyana, Wanda, Zatanna, and Clea all waited back at the castle. They had a feeling that something was happening.
"No further attacks," Valeria commented lightly. She would have to admit that the silence was more than a little unsettling. She crossed her legs and waited for something to happen.
"Quit doing that, please," Zatanna said to her. Her voice was spoken in an urgent whisper.
"Sorry, I do this when I'm nervous," Valeria said haughtily.
The girls all tensed up when a portal opened. The one and only Morgan Le Fay stepped from the portal. That caused all of the women to tense up. Clea maneuvered her way in front of the girls. Sorceress Supreme or not, she might be just a little bit out of her depth dealing with the likes of Le Fay.
The witch amused herself with the stance that these girls took. They were ready and able to fight her no matter what. She looked at them, a smile crossing her face when she stared them down.
"What are you doing here?" Clea demanded of her.
Morgan waited in amusement. She decided to bring up one obvious point. "I bring you no harm."
"Yes, I've heard that one before," Valeria said. She thought that she was going to blast this woman back to whatever diseased realm. "You are in my castle, therefore you need to state your business with me. And you have two minutes to convince me why I shouldn't rip you apart."
"Other than the fact it would be amusing to see you try," Morgan commented lightly.
"She's with me."
The portal remained open and Harry walked out of the portal. The girls fell back into line when they saw their master approach them. Morgan smiled in amusement.
"They are like obedient dogs, I'm impressed….."
"Morgan," Harry said, and she fell back into line at his stern warning. No sooner than did Selene exit the portal and look towards Morgan. A grin tugged on the corners of her lips.
"You were saying?" Selene asked. She leaned towards Morgan and gave a shadow of a smile directed towards the woman. Morgan's eyes went up and she shook her head.
"We have a problem," Harry said. All of the girls figured as much. None of them were going to say that they figured as much.
"What kind of problem?" Zatanna asked.
Harry was only too happy to explain and he did so crisply and calmly. "The problem is that Red Skull might be dead, but whatever he did lives on. One of the many artifacts he tampered on might be Asgardian."
"You didn't find out about this," Wanda said. She corrected her tongue when she realized that she had talked sharply to her master. "I'm sorry but…"
"There is no need to apologize, you couldn't have known, this time," Harry commented to her. Wanda relaxed. She realized that she dodged a nice little bullet. "The Red Skull decided to only let his people know what they needed to know. And while my spies knew a lot, they didn't know everything."
It went without saying that Harry knew that they weren't lying.
Another portal opened up. Claire and Diana appeared. They were his eyes and ears in the city, and they were only to report to him if this was an emergency. Judging by the looks on their faces, this classified as an emergency.
"Report," Harry told them. Claire dropped to one knee where she was in front of Harry. Diana copied her sister's motion. He waved his hand. "Rise."
The two of them rose to their feet. Their smiles spread over their faces and Claire spoke to him.
"The power grid inside the city is compromised, there is something big happening."
"The battle between HYDRA and SHIELD is over, and SHIELD has fallen, but HYDRA is crippled enough for the taking," Diana added. She took a moment to put her thoughts in line. She looked straight into Harry's eyes. "But yes, the flickers are inside the city are much alarming. The danger of it is such that…"
"Diana, calm down," Harry told her. He leaned towards her. "The source of the magic is being located as we speak. Is it powerful enough to knock Electronics off line?"
Diana nodded her head in response. There were several power outages within the city.
"People are in a panic," Claire helpfully pointed out. "And when people are in a panic, they are…"
"They are easy to take out, I know," Harry said. He turned to Diana. "Join us on this, we're going to need all of the help that we can get."
"What can I do, how can I help?" Claire asked suddenly. Harry's eyes shifted towards her. She took a moment to melt underneath his gaze and he looked straight into her eyes when he spoke.
"You know that you're not the best person to deal with magic," Harry reminded her.
She nodded up and down, her jaw set. That was for sure.
"Help lead my strike team on the ground and make sure everyone stays out of our way when we do this," Harry replied. "Go with Natasha and Carol, they'll fill you in what you need to do."
Claire nodded. She knew that her master knew best. She looked into his green eyes in an adoring manner.
"I won't let you down," Claire said to him. There was conviction in her voice and Harry believed that.
"I know," Harry said. He kept his eyes on Morgan. He could see that there was a moment where Valeria stared at her. "And you're going to stay with me."
Morgan was going to ask whether or not Harry trusted her. She knew the answer to that question one hundred percent of the way.
The Avengers arrived in the middle of New York. Iron Man stopped and he punched at his armor in an attempt to reboot it.
"You'd think that with all of the magical enemies we go against, you would guard your armor against it," Hawkeye said. He waited to see what was going to come out of this portal.
"I did, but this magic is different, I can't explain it," Iron Man added. "Widow and Ms. Marvel are coming to back us up, but I don't know when."
"Guess, it's just us four against all of them," Wasp said. Given that the four of them included the one and only Thor, Wasp really did feel somewhat confident about their chances. The woman watched and she lifted up her hands.
"Be still and careful, my friends," Thor said. He swung his powerful hammer and was about ready to fight anything. Anything did turn out to be anything and it turned out to be among the most awful things. Thor's jaw extended when he spoke. "By Odin's beard."
Tony managed to calibrate his armor. A large serpent appeared from the other end of the portal. There were sparks that erupted from the portal. There were other creatures that came from the portal as well.
"I'm going to need a bigger bow," Hawkeye said. Thor grabbed him by the shoulder and roughly pulled him back.
"Stand back!" Thor yelled to him. The archer looked at him and he nodded.
There was a loud bang that echoed. There was a lot of reality shifting all around them. Tony frowned when the serpent disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Or maybe it did. The air around them got a bit more purple and then shifted to blue.
"JARVIS, do you know what's happening?" Tony asked. "JARVIS?"
He tapped his finger to the edge of armor.
"I'm not sure sir, there is…..the energy is….." Jarvis said. He started to cut in and out.
"That's not good, is it?" Tony asked. He tried to reboot the armor. "Have I mentioned how much that I hate highly advanced science that I can't explain?"
He was loath to admit it to be magic. Even though there was a nagging voice in the back of his head that said that it was magic. There was a crackled in his armor.
"LOOK OUT!"
Wasp yelled that warning out. She dove on in the large fiery monsters that rushed at her. She fired at them at a rapid fire rate.
She thought for a second she was going to be crushed. Her heart never beat so fast. She thought that it was going to clench in her chest. Her breathing escalated when she saw it approach her.
She was back in the middle of a debris strewn New York street with Avengers all around as far as the eye could see. Carol and Natasha stepped towards her and looked around.
"Jan, are you okay?" Carol asked her.
Jan nodded her head feverishly. "Yeah….yeah….I am now, but Clint, Thor, and Tony, they're…"
"The realms are close together, they're about ready to collide with each other. The Red Skull accelerated the process."
Jan turned around and she saw an imposing figure dressed in dark robes. His hood was pulled over his face. She could see a pair of green eyes on the other side. She saw a glimpse of what was underneath. It was a glimpse.
"It was you," Jan whispered.
"Focus,' Natasha warned her. She grabbed her around the arm. She turned towards him. "What are the chances that things are going to be fixed?"
"A good chance, I've got several experts on it as we speak," he said. Natasha nodded in response. "We need to keep the civilians out of the line of fire as much as we can."
Jan saw a blur fly out of the corner of her eye. Her mouth opened and it shut. She wondered if this was who she thought it was. She had a feeling that it was. Her heart kept beating intensely.
The Blur was a real thing. She didn't see it before. Carol and Natasha didn't seem too surprised. She turned towards them with an accusatory glance.
"You've seen the Blur before, haven't you?" Jan asked. She folded her arms over her chest and stared down at them.
Carol gave her a knowing smile. "We better do that crowd control and just leave him to do his work."
Jan was about ready to turn to the hooded figure to ask a question. She was surprised by the fact that he disappeared in a flash of light.
"Don't worry, he always does that," Natasha replied. Her lips curled into a smile. "But he has to be numerous places at once for this to work."
Jan had several questions. Carol smiled when she put her hands on the younger girl's shoulder and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry, we're tell you everything that you want to know and some things that you don't want to know."
Jan wasn't going to lie, she could hardly wait.
Harry stood in the middle of the nexus Realm.
'Are we all in position?' Harry asked.
'I'm in position,' Zatanna said. She looked rather excited and ready to go.
'Yes, I'm in position,' Wanda commented with a grin on her face. Valeria stood beside her and she spoke the cue that she was ready.
'I'm in position,' Valeria agreed. She was put near Morgan, likely because her master wanted to test her self-control. She wasn't going to hex that bitch, at least not yet. She was tempted to.
'I think that all of us are in position,' Morgan replied in her own charming way. She shifted her arms and reared her head back with a nice little sigh. 'Are we ready to get on with it, or aren't we?'
'We are,' Harry said. He leaned towards Morgan and his lips curled into a calculating grin. 'But, remember where the power lies here.'
'Yes, she best remember that, or she might need to be more closely bond,' Maddie added. There was malice that went through her tone and her eyes flashed with a crazed amount of passion.
Jean snickered. She knew that Maddie would punish Morgan personally for running from her master if she was allowed the opportunity.
Harry smiled and he placed his hand on the Rune he drew on the ground. The energy spread through it and his arm vibrated. He could tell that the realms didn't want to be drawn back apart. There was a sense that they were dueling for domination and there could only be one.
He was getting a good look at the makeup of all of the realms. It would serve well for his future plans. His energy crossed over to Zatanna. It hit over to Wanda. Then it went to Valeria to Morgan to Illyana to Diana to Ananym and to Clea finally.
There was a many point attack that kept rocking things forward. Harry channeled all of the energy through his body when he healed the cracks that were in the realms.
'Everything is going down, obviously everything is back to normal,' Clea said. Her lips curled with a nice smile. She thought they dodged a dangerous bullet.
A large blast erupted. Harry sensed that there was another presence that assisted him outside of the circle. He didn't know who it was. He knew that there was someone there and assisted him.
'We better keep an eye on anyone else who tries to sneak up on me,' Harry thought to Clea.
'Yes, my lord,' Clea agreed with him.
The party arrived in the Red Skull's domain. It was preserved. He was surprised that it didn't get raided by someone.
"It wasn't for a lack of trying, master," Sin said. She approached him and got down to her knees. If she would have been allowed to, she would have serviced him right here and now without any shame whatsoever.
Harry smiled and waved his hand in front of her face. "To your feet, Sin."
"The Red Skull is an avid collector of many items," Sin replied. Harry nodded in response. "And I doubt that he even understood half of what he acquired over time."
"And he only used a fraction of the power that he had at his disposal," Morgan added. Sin faced a woman that she held in great esteem. Her eyes locked onto Morgan's for several seconds. She nearly bowed her head down and smiled at her. "But that was his flaw, not the flaw of anyone else."
"It is just as well," Harry replied to her.
Harry was an avid collector of many items as well. Most of the time it was girls, but he enjoyed seeing what magical artifacts he could get his hands on. A few of them were of value, but most of them weren't. You had to move through the shit to find the real gems.
All of the magical artifacts that were of no use to him were promptly and completely destroyed. While he did not have any use of them, that didn't mean that anyone else didn't have any use of them. He frowned when he looked over one large staff.
"It's always the large magical staffs, isn't it?" Zatanna asked.
"People tend to compensate," Morgan replied. She smiled. She was glad that some things were constant. It made going through time to be jarring if it is otherwise. "Although most of these are useless and many more of them are cursed. They might give the user a slight boost of power, at the expense of decaying their insanity and their health."
"One could never tell with the Red Skull," Sin replied. She moved Harry over towards the mysterious fault that was off to the side.
Harry looked at the vault. He could sense there was something of value behind the vault.
"You should find something more of value than any magical artifact in this stronghold," Sin offered him.
Harry broke the vault open. There was a large amount of gold and diamonds in the vault. That was the tip of the iceberg.
He reached into the vault and saw that there was a stack of documents as wide as his arm resting in the vault. He scooped them all up into his arms and smiled.
"Is it to your liking, my king?" Sin asked him.
Harry smiled. It was very much to his liking.
"SHIELD and HYDRA both in the same day," Natasha said. She walked next to Harry during the hallways of what was once a functioning SHIELD base. "And obviously, Fury is the world's most wanted man from some of the things that he did above the law."
"Investigations will take place," Carol added. She walked beside Harry, moving shoulder to shoulder with him. "And someone is going to need to take the reins of the security of the world."
"This does present an interesting opportunity, doesn't it?" Harry asked. He had his contacts in the government. He had some interesting incriminating material one everyone from the President on down. There was no need to use it, because his charm and wit would be the things to get him in the front door.
"And I'm certain that you will be the one that will take the most advantage of it,' Natasha commented. There was a knowing glint in her eye.
Harry smiled when he looked her over. There was a nice smile that spread over her face when he looked at her.
"SWORD is mine, SHIELD is mine, HYDRA was mine, and that's just the beginning," Harry said. He placed his hand underneath his chin. "In some ways, the Red Skull helped me."
"You put the realms back together, didn't you?" Carol asked him. Harry turned towards her with a raised eyebrow.
"No, I just spun back the time table of what it was supposed to be," Harry said. "The realms will join when I say they are going to join and not a second before."
Time and space had a master and that master was Harry Potter.
"You've been quite an impression on young Miss Van Dyne,' Natasha commented crisply.
"That was my intention," Harry whispered to her. He pulled both of the girls into either side of them. He was pressed on either side of them. This was exactly where he wanted to be in a situation like this. "Don't worry, she'll get all of her answers and soon, but when I'm ready."
"It would do well to leave her to choke for it just a little bit longer," Natasha said. As a spy, she knew everything about seduction.
"You two, Maria, and Bobbi all stand by, you have places in my new organization, and I'm sure that there are a few other recruits that you might want to recommend," Harry told them.
Natasha gave him a sultry smile. She placed her hand on his shoulder and stroked it carefully. It was obvious that she wanted something right now.
"In time, Natasha, in time," Harry said. He took her hands and pinned them back onto the back of her head.
Harry leaned towards her and kissed her fiercely. She took his lips into an intense and really powerful kiss.
He let her go and left her breathless. Carol frowned when she crossed her arms. Not to make her feel left out, Harry kissed her again. His hands explored her body and touched every area that made her completely wild.
Both of the girls were left panting and wet and wanting more. Harry channeled the power between both of their legs and caused them to pant even more.
"I expect any information that you have to be brought before me, soon," Harry said to them. He flashed away from them.
Bobbi walked onto the scene and saw both of them standing there, completely shaken. She smiled when she approached both of them. "He was here, wasn't it?"
Harry returned to his quarters. Morgan waited for him.
"For once, you didn't run," Harry told her. He approached Morgan and held her around the waist.
"I don't think that I could have run this time, if I wanted to," Morgan whispered hotly. Harry waved his hand.
Her robes slowly unraveled. It was one thing to tear a person's clothes off. Harry slowly unraveled them to unveil her undergarments. She wore a nice silky black set and the crotch of her panties is wet.
"The moment that she marked you, you burned up with your lust for me," Harry said. He placed his hand on her stomach and ran his hand down it. "And now, you're going to experience what you've wanted?"
Harry magically hurled her back onto the bed. Her firm and fit body was exposed to him. Her beauty was extremely intoxicating and Harry was ready to take her. He was going to take her in every single way possible.
"Master, please, please," Morgan begged him. He ran his hands down her smooth thighs.
"You want this," Harry said. His clothing slowly faded from him to reveal his naked body. He made sure that Morgan got a nice good look at him. "I'm going to make you beg for me."
"Yes," Morgan said. She wondered what magic ensnared her mind. She would never beg. She was too proud to beg in fact.
The powerful magic of the Incubus rolled over her mind. She kept panting heavily and Harry kissed her lips. It was a light kiss, but it sent fire spreading to her loins.
Things went slightly downhill from there for her inhibitions.
A woman watched the situation from her position. She slowly turned to another figure in the shadows. It was pure darkness around them, so neither of their faces could be made out.
"Our plan didn't work, my lady," the woman whispered.
"It's merely a setback," the woman in the shadows commented. "I didn't come all of this way for nothing."
"Of course, my lady."
To Be Continued On January 22nd, 2015.
