Guest: Well yeah, I've been sitting home after my College got over in July. I used to just handle my father's shop, so I had a lot of free time on my hand.
Mazzax Manacry: The weapon I refered to when Imagining it was shown in comics. Tony stark goes to Asgard and makes weapons for Avengers, out of Uru to defeat Red skulls daughter or something. This Pole axe was wielded by Captain Marvel in the comics. No idea about the sensibility of the weapon. Sorry for that if it's wrong.
Blackdrake: Nice idea. I'll have to find a way to get him in.
RonChee: Harry is not an evil person. Sure he's let some bad things happen. But it's more like, I don't want to screw up the timeline or that guy's an asshole anyway, than this will be more advantageous to me. Plus it's a work of fanfic.
Flevantein: Probably, yeah. I'm having so much fun making Harry super powerful. But still, it's Thanos. He has 1000 fucking years behind him. He's planned for this for half that time, or more. Like how CapMar was stronger than him in endgame but he still managed to beat her away with the Power Stone. These last two power ups won't be seen until the last baddies come. Thanos and whomever Marvel decides to introduce next.
For the one who asked if Harry will give the serums to anyone. He will probably give the Oz2 to Bernard. Darcy, no idea, if the relationship works out well enough, definitely, if not, maybe. Gwen Stacy will be coming into the Superhero business soon, as SpiderWoman. Harry doesn't trust Fury, so probably not him. Fury will just try and replicate the serum making an army of Super soldiers. As for electro, that villain is really bad. Even in movies he was badly portrayed. I don't think I'll ever bring him in.
The other guys, like Scorpion, Hammerhead, Prowler, shocker, they'll come soon. In place of Spiderman homecoming, I was going to take Into the multiverse. Which will happen in 2015, to keep up with MCU.
And to all the people who wished me well, Thank You! I started writing because I was depressed and wanted a way to zone out. I used to read and play games before, but writing helps a lot. I won't always be able to write the chapters with the same quality, there will be mistakes. So please understand.
Once again, Thank You!
Chapter 26:
January 28th, 2014:
"Darcy?" I call out one night, a couple days after I'd returned from Nidavellir. We were both sleeping on my bed, Darcy cuddling me on me left.
"Yeah?" Darcy asks, looking up from my chest.
I kiss her forehead, pulling her closer to me, and ask, "You don't hate me, do you?"
Darcy looks up at me, climbs on top of me and kisses me hard. I kiss her back with the same enthusiasm. I had missed her in the days I was on Morag.
"Would I do this if I hated you?" Darcy asks, taking off her top.
I smile lecherously at her and say, "Can't exactly argue with that." I pull her down and kiss her again, this time putting all my feelings in that one kiss. I liked her. A lot. Not love yet, but maybe I was slowly going there.
"But, seriously. I really do keep neglecting you. And I'm sorry for that. I was.. not around at that time, and had no way to get back. I did miss you every day." I say, pulling her into me and hugging her.
Darcy hugs me back and mumbles, "I missed you too, Dumbo. Where were you anyway?"
I look at her, smirk and say, "Would you believe me if I say, on another planet?"
Darcy immediately jumps up and looks at me, excited and a little bit angry, she asks, "And you didn't take me there, because?"
I gulp a little, and say, "Well I knew it was dangerous. More dangerous than that fight with Malekith was, actually. Plus, I had only one way of getting back, and it would have only worked after 15 or so days. Which is when I came back."
Darcy narrows her eyes at me and asks, "So you didn't bring me, because it would have been dangerous, and I would have been stuck with you for 2 weeks?"
I nod hesitantly, having no idea where she's going with it.
She continues, "For a genius, you're a dumbass, you know that?"
Venom snorts from inside me, which was creepy of him. I ignore him and say, "I know. Venom keeps reminding me of that. You would have come?"
Darcy smacks me on my chest and says, "Of course, you idiot. I'd have loved to come to another planet. A 15 day holiday with my boyfriend on another planet? I'd have loved it."
I grimace. Damn. Didn't think about it that way. I smile at her and say, "Well, we can always go someday later. Once the Hydra chapter is over, I'll be free for a while. Plus, your exams are coming up too."
She smirks at me, pecks me on the lips and hugs me again. She says, "Don't forget about your exams, Harry. They'll be at the same time. Now, if you can select which planet we can go to, select a green planet, preferably without any humanoid life on it. Don't want anyone creeping on us having sex."
I laugh at that and hug her back. She was amazing. I thought I'd have to beg for her forgiveness for a week or two.
"I'll keep that in mind Darcy. Good night." I say and kiss her on her head.
"Good night, you big juicy.. dumbass." Darcy kisses me on my lips and closes her eyes to sleep.
I had started up the harnessing tool into absorbing the energy from the Tesseract, as soon as I'd gotten back on Earth. This, along with the Power Orb I had filled on Morag, would power my next and final transformation, making me possibly more powerful than Captain Marvel.
Though she's been Captain Marvel for about 20 years, so she's obviously gotten more used to the powers. I'll have to get used to them after my transformation.
It was going to take 14 more days to fill this Orb, which was enough time for me to contact Helen Cho for her cradle. There's still a few days time, so no worries.
The next day, once Darcy left, I first checked up on the Tesseract. Since the harnessing process was going well, I went on to the Absorbing serum. It was time to take it, so that I could get used to it before the Procedure. Venom separates from me, as I take of my shirt. The serum won't change me immediately, that much I knew. It would require radiation to activate it.
Although I hope, I don't get turned into Hulk or something like him.
"Siri. Start scanning me. Don't interfere at any point. Let it go on. Venom, if it looks like I'm losing my mind, take control of my body and bring me back." I speak out loud.
Taking a deep breath, I inject myself with the serum. It didn't hurt. Huh. I'd have thought it will be painful.
I stay on the bed for about half an hour, keeping an eye on the scans, when nothing happened, I got off the bed.
"Well.. that was.. anticlimactic. My body will take some time to get used to the serum, I think, so no worries." I speak to myself.
Then I turn to Siri, and say, "Meanwhile, Siri. I'm going to be making you a body soon. It will be made out of Vibranium. But you, little miss, will be the one designing it. The face, your hands, legs, figure, colour. Everything. You will decide how you want to look. Take reference from all the humans you've seen, both in here, and out there. I'm meeting Helen Cho soon, and I'll convince her to do the main task. Got it?"
Siri smiles widely, or at least her hologram does and she says, "I'll get right down to it, Sir. I'll have the designs ready within a few days."
I smile and say, "Take your time, Siri. I haven't even talked to her yet."
Damn! I'll either have to prevent Ultron altogether, or let it happen the way it does to make sure Vision appears. Although, now that I've stolen all of Kalue's Vibranium, how the hell would Ultron even build the body for Vision?
I can pitch an idea for Vision to Tony too. That's actually a better idea. I'll ask him after the Sokovia attack. It will take a few days still.
February 12th, 2014:
It was finally the day. Helen Cho had agreed to meet with me, so I was currently on my way to Seoul, Korea.
Siri had designed the body she wanted, it was almost the female equivalent to Vision's body from what I'd drawn in the black book. She probably took inspiration from it. I still had to charge the heart for Siri, which needed the heart to be first made by Helen Cho. I already had 2 litres of Vibranium with me, which I was going to ask her to make the heart out of.
When I reach the Airport, as I came here legally, there was a Limo waiting for me. I silently enter the limo and let the driver take me to Helen. Meanwhile I plan on how I'm going to make sure that Helen agrees to make the body and heart. It would take haggling, which I hated. But I'll still do it. Siri was my creation, the first creation I gave sentience to. The next AI, which was going to help me with the tasks after Siri gets a body, was not going to be sentient. It was going to be just an AI.
Soon, we reach the office of Helen Cho and the door opens from the outside. I walk out of the car and start following the Korean girl Helen sent to bring me to her.
I knock on Dr Cho's door and she lets me in. I bow to her in greeting. She bows back and invites me to sit.
"Please sit down, Mr Osborn. What can I do for you?" Dr Cho asks, once I'm seated.
I smile at her and take the offered coffee. I say, "Call me Harry, please. I actually had a job for you. I really hope you take it. It involves the cradle."
Dr Cho raises her eyebrow at me and says, "The healing cradle? What do you need it for?"
Instead of answering I slide my tablet to her. The designs for Siri's body were on the screen. I say, "I programmed an AI, Siri, when I was 15, and kept on upgrading her over and over again. So much, that she's now gained almost complete sentience. I love her, like she's my little sister, and hence when she asked for a body, I wanted to give her the best. I wanted you to build her a body, using materials I'll provide you with."
Dr Cho looks at the designs and the different blueprints that Siri had made and looks at me, "These designs are amazing. If you can design it with this much precision, why not make the body yourself?"
I smile at her and shake my head. I say, "I did not design the body, Dr Cho. Siri did. And even if we manage to build a body, it would not be that good. Your Cradle will be able to build it with the whole building blocks exactly how we need them to be. It will be the best Android body in the whole world."
Dr Cho widens her eyes in shock at that. An AI designing her own body was.. phenomenal. She shakes her head and asks, "What material are you going to use for the body? And how will you power it?"
I smirk and say, "Vibranium."
Cho drops the tablet in shock, thankfully it lands only on the table. Everyone knows about Vibranium. Cap's shield is famous for it. But no one knows that there's even more Vibranium in the world, thinking it was all used.
She asks, "How do you even have enough Vibranium? Wasn't all of it used in Captain America's shield?"
I shake my head and tell her, "All the Vibranium which we knew about, yes. There was a stock hidden in the African jungles, which I found. Don't ask where, I swept the whole jungle and took all of it. Now, I might be able to part with some of it, if you agree to build the body."
Cho, who was slowly getting more shocked, snaps her mouth shut and shakes her head. She says "The Cradle is designed to rebuild tissues. It would not work that way, Mr Osborn. Building a whole body? Out of a metal too? It just won't work."
I smile at her nativity and say, "Have you ever tried it? Tell you what. If you think a body is too much to start on. I'll give you some of the Vibranium I have, which you can use now, to try and build a heart. Human heart, for Siri's body. If it works, you can do the rest of the body, if it doesn't, well, I'll walk out of here disappointed."
Dr Cho sighs, still looking at the designs once in a while. She says, "Alright. If it works, I'll bring a cradle to your labs in a few days to start on making the body."
Saying this, she moves across the room and opens a door. There, laying on the ground was the Cradle. An amazing piece of technology. Helen starts making a few changes to the programming and the mechanisms, while I bring out a litre of Vibranium from my Suitcase. When she asks for it, I give her the Canister and take a few steps back.
2 hours later and I'm walking out of Dr Cho's labs, happy, while my suitcase now holds the heart of Siri, which I was going to charge with Tesseract. It was about 300ml in volume, the rest of which I'd given to Cho to experiment. She was going to come to my house in 10 days time, to start making the body, which would take about 2 more days.
I had promised to give her 2 more canisters of Vibranium, which was enough as a payment. Vibranium was expensive as fuck.
As soon as I reach home, I keep the heart in the Harnessing tool and start charging it. The heart was smaller than the Orbs were, so it would take about 10 days or so to fully charge. Which was enough.
"Siri! You'll have a body in 15 days!" I shout out once the harnessing tool is set. Siri has a huge smile on her face, which was enough to make my day.
That night, once I had dinner with Bernard, I decide to call Tony. I hadn't told the team I was back yet.
"Oh, so now you call back? Once only one base is remaining?" Tony's sarcastic voice says from the screen.
I roll my eyes and say, "I was off the planet. And what do you mean, last base? You guys took out all the other bases? Without me?"
Tony opens his mouth, closes it, then says, "I'm going to ignore that comment about you being off planet. And yes, we took out all the other bases. Jarvis has been keeping track of each and every one of the known Hydra agents. Most of them are holed up in Sokovia, under a Wolfgang Von Strucker and Dr List. We're going to be hitting them in three days. You coming?"
I shake my head at their speed and say, "Yeah, sure. Call me during the last heist. I'll come by tomorrow, so you guys can let me in on the plan."
Stark smirks and says, "Sure. I'll tell the rest of the team. Be here by 6 PM."
Stark shuts off the call and I shake my head. In 2 days, we were going to get the Sceptre back. Which will either make Ultron, or Vision, or both. I'll have to persuade both Banner and Stark not to make Ultron. But how will I do that? Fuck! This will have been so easy if I didn't have to hide my future knowledge.
After once more using the Reality stone to change my body a little, I go to sleep.
February 13th, 2014:
The next day, I spend the whole morning training with Jarnbjorn. I'd already used the Staff as well as Stormbreaker, so I didn't have to change my fighting style much. I still had to get used to it's power though. Whenever I used Jarnbjorn, my body felt like it was burning and was trying really hard not to disintegrate. Thankfully Extremis solved that issue.
And thanks to the reality stone, I was getting more and more used to the energy. My estimate was that I'd have the capability to handle touching the Power Stone itself before my 23rd birthday.
The rest of the time, I spend on programming a new AI to take care of the house and Siri's duties. This one will not have enough sentience to think for itself, but will have the same processing power as Siri.
At exactly 5, I take my jet and slowly start going towards Avengers Tower. I was not going to bring out Jarnbjorn yet. It was going to be my secret weapon. It will only be taken out in cases of the worst of the villains. Like Thanos, or Kang and Galactus if they somehow get here. I knew celestials exist, thanks to Ego, but do the others exist too? That was a question I did not need answering.
Before I even know it, I'm hovering above Avengers Tower and Siri calls out, "We've reached, Sir."
I sigh and get up. I say, "Thanks Siri. Stay invisible please."
I suit up and jump out of the plane, landing on the helipad. An alarm goes off, which annoys me. I ignore it and start walking inside. The alarms had turned off, probably Tony recognising me and shutting them off.
"Look who's here!" Tony's obnoxious voice calls out, once I'm inside.
I will the suit away and wave to everyone. I could see Tony, Steve, Barton, Nat, Banner, Thor and Peter too.
I look at Peter and ask, "Since when have you been here?"
Peter rubs the back of his head and answers, "This morning. I took a few days off of work for this."
I nod and greet everyone, "Hey guys. Thor! Banner!" I hug them both a little extra. Banner because he was always a little shy and needed some confidence boost. While Thor was just.. Thor.
"Harry! Greetings my friend. Where have you been for so long?" Thor asks, releasing me from the hug.
I sigh and sit down. I say, "I was going through some shit guys. I needed to.. I don't know, find myself? I just needed to get away. I didn't even let Siri contact me. Sorry about that."
Steve scrunches his eyes at me, sympathetically. I felt bad about lying to him. But only because he was so innocent.
He says, "You can call us if you need help, you know that, right?"
I nod and smile at him, thankful. I say, "Anyway, ignoring the sad train. How's the raiding going?"
Tony speaks up, "Come and look." And leads me to a screen.
I see the raids as they were happening and can say that it made me feel a lot happier than I was before. Bucky and Steve worked really well together, and Peter and Tony. Speaking of,
"Hey, I'd heard Bucky was back. Where's he?" I ask.
Steve smiles widely and says, "He's on a date. Met a girl a few days ago."
I nod and say, "Nice. What about you, Cap? Found anyone yet?"
Steve just huffs out a laugh and says, "I'm not going to talk about this to you or Tony. You're just as bad as he is."
"Hey! Don't insult me!" I say indignantly, but everyone can see the humour in my voice.
Tony just grumbles which we all ignore. We all then decide what we were going to do, during the Sokovia raiding and just sit chatting. Thor leaves a few hours later to meet Sif, who was on Earth to apprehend some Asgardian criminal. Steve left to find Sharon, probably. Peter went to meet with MJ. Which left me, Banner and Stark. The agents had left for some agent work.
"So.. you guys have anything interesting going on?" I ask, sounding nonchalant.
Tony looks at me, smirks and says, "Now that you're here, come see this."
We go inside Tony's lab, Banner following right behind.
Tony starts, saying, "We-" Bruce interrupts Tony by clearing his throat. Tony rolls his eyes and says, "I am trying to make a peace keeping program based on Jarvis's coding. I'm planning on hanging the suit after this one raid."
I look over the coding, but don't find anything wrong with it. Other than the key directives. I ask, "What exactly will the program do, Tony?"
Tony, not sensing my warning tone, boasts out, "This program will neutralise any threat to the Earth. At least, it will once it is complete."
I look at him disbelievingly. This was Tony Stark? The one who sacrificed his life, twice? I look at Banner and ask, "You approve of this?"
Banner shakes his head and says, "No. This sounds way too much like what Hydra tried to do with their Project Insight."
I look at Tony and say, "Are you listening? You're going to program an AI which will neutralise threats to Earth? What if the program decides you're the threat, Tony?"
Tony opens and closes his mouth a few times and says, "I.. will change the code accordingly."
I shake my head and look at the code again. It was basic, and there were many learning opportunities for the AI.
"Tony." I call out. He looks at me so I continue, "Hydra tried this exact same way. The only difference is that you're doing it to protect the planet. I'm begging you. Don't go through with this."
"What's your problem, you guys? I'm not Hydra. I know what I'm doing, okay? This is not my first AI." Tony speaks up, indignantly.
I snort and say, "You're first AI is good, Tony. He learned from watching you. When you set an AI to learn from the internet and determine threats that way, how will it turn out? It'll go fucking Skynet on us Tony. Think about it, really think. You'll task a sentient AI to destroy threats before they can even be a threat? That's thinking like Hydra, Stark."
Tony shakes his head and laughs amusingly. Not at all afraid of this. So I continue, "Dude, you're literally going to task an AI with just one instructions. Protect the Earth. Even I, a Weapons manufacturer, know that's a bad idea. The AI will immediately target humans and kill them off. Starting with the Avengers. Bruce, talk to him man."
I shake my head and go out of the room. Hopefully Bruce will get through to Tony. I know that if Tony says he'll still go through with it, Bruce will help him. He's just that good of a friend. But still, I hope Bruce refuses.
Knowing that I've still got some time, I decide to go to the warehouse HQ of the defenders. Jessica had been active for about a month now, with Matt helping in once in a while. But Matt mostly concentrated in Hell's Kitchen and only came out of it if necessary. Luke Cage was still not ready to play Hero, or so he said. But he did promise to help if the time comes.
I check in on Oracle for an hour, talking with Jessica a little. Then I train with her, in which she gets her ass handed to her. Matt comes in at about 10 PM. While he was helping me train my Spidey-Sense more, by fighting blindfolded, I ask him, "So, Daredevil. Want to be enhanced yet?"
Daredevil sighs, and says, "Frankly? I want to. Who doesn't want to be stronger? But there's no need. I only fight non powered thugs and crime bosses. Anything they throw at me, I can handle. Becoming powerful would just paint a larger target on my head."
I nod, knowing that he can feel the nod. I say, "I understand. It's your choice. But the offer's still on the table if you need it."
Daredevil nods appreciatively and we continue fighting. This type of training was really good. He was already an expert in fighting, and so was I. But for him, fighting someone much stronger than him was really helpful. Similarly, for me, someone with superior senses was the best partner to train with.
At 12, I leave the warehouse to go on my patrol. I missed swinging in NYC. The wind, the buildings, everything was so calming.
I was swinging through Manhattan when I see something I really should have expected to see someday. Bloody ninjas. Hand is already in New York. This was not the time yet to fight them and gain their attention. So after confirming that yes, they were ninjas, and yes, I wasn't high on something, I go back home.
"Siri. Start hacking Rand Enterprises. And search for a Frank Castle. Tell me as soon as he's back from wherever he's stationed." I order as soon as I'm inside my house.
I'd written down that Rand enterprises was supposed to be the HQ of Hand in NY. Although, right now, only a few of them must be here. I'll have to kill all 5 of them and most of their Ninja armies.
That reminds me, "Siri, also keep an eye on Wilson Fisk. He's back in New York and I want to know what he does. I don't want him gaining a foothold in my city from where he can influence things."
I'll probably have Peter or Matt working on Fisk. He's one of the smaller fishes, and does not necessarily require my involvement.
Instructions done with, I check on the Vibranium heart, and finding it going on nicely, I go to sleep.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, you guys. Had a big ass block while writing this one. My speed will probably get a little slower after this. I'm currently giving interviews for my first job. Haven't got one yet, but fingers crossed!
