Chapter 24 -
"Is everything good?" Natasha asked, when Harry arrived along with Jane at the meeting point.
"I hope so" Harry replied as he glanced between her and Sif. "If all is going to plan then Thor should be here with his brother some time soon."
"I still can't believe we're going through with this." Natasha huffed.
"You are not the only one." Sif frowned. "Loki is a traitor and..."
"An arse, we know dear." Harry smiled kindly at her and patted her head. She scowled and slapped his hand away.
"This is no time for jokes." Jane frowned.
"On the contrary, I find humour something that can be very helpful in situations like this. Helps take your mind off the problem."
"Speaking of the problem." Natasha commented. The group turned to see Thor waling towards them, along with Loki though they noted that he had cuffs on his wrists.
"Is that..." Jane trailed off as she saw him, she walked towards Loki when the two stopped in front of them.
"Hi," Loki said. "you may have heard of me, I'm Loki..." He was cut off by a vicious slap from Jane.
"That's for New York." She said.
"I like her." Loki said with an amused smile, though it quickly vanished when he was punched in the face and pushed against a wall.
"Then you're going to love me." Harry said.
"What are you..." Loki was suddenly cut off as he felt a cold blade pressed against his neck.
"Harry!" Thor said, not sure what had gotten into his friend.
"Hi Loki." Harry said, smiling calmly.
"What are you..." Loki started only to be interrupted.
"Shut...your...mouth." Harry said in a cold voice. "I want to make things perfectly clear, I don't trust you."
"The axe pressed against my neck gave that away." Loki couldn't help but comment.
"Thor think that it's a good idea to bring you in on this, I disagree but I don't really have a better idea. I know that in your mind there is a part of you that is probably thinking about betraying Thor and us as soon as you can. Here's the thing, Thor won't kill you, neither will your mother, but I am more than willing to do so."
"Am I supposed to be intimidated?"
"You're supposed to listen, whether you get intimidated or not is up to you."
"We need to go." Natasha said, interrupting the two.
"She's right, the all-father would have noticed something by now." Sif added.
"Fine." Harry said as he removed the axe, yet still keeping his eyes on Loki, and placed it in the hip holster he had made for himself, it was basically an open ring that Harry could slide his axe into. Later he would come up with a better way but this would do for now.
"So brother," Loki turned to Thor. "shall we go or do you need to wait for the wizard to give you permission to move?"
"I can and will silence you." Harry warned as they all started moving but stopped when they heard a bunch of Einherjar walking towards them.
"Go," Sif said as she drew her sword. "I shall hold them off."
"Thanks Sif." Harry said as they began walking away.
"Raven, Thor," Sif called out as guards began walking to them from down the hallway. "be careful. Natasha, look after them."
"You got it." Natasha smirked at her words while Harry rolled his eyes.
"I'm glad you're all alright." Volstagg said when the group arrived at the ship. "Come on, we need to
"Thank you my friend." Thor shook his hand and walked past him into the ship, followed by Jane and Natasha, both of whom exchanged smiles with Volstagg. Loki was about to walk past when Volstagg stopped him by placing a hand on his chest.
"If you even think about betraying him..." Volstagg started in a warning tone.
"You'll kill me?" Loki guessed, causing Volstagg to glare at him. "Evidently there will be a line."
"You can have a turn after me." Harry said as he walked Loki on to the ship,
"So now what?" Loki said once the ship doors closed.
"Give me a sec," Harry said as he began casting spells on the door while Thor went to the control console.
"What are you doing?" Jane asked both of them.
"I'm going to fly this thing." Thor said.
"I'm casting spells so they can't open the door or break it down." Harry answered and a second later shouting was heard as something struck the other side of the door. "Clearly it's working." He continued casting spells while Natasha and Jane began listening to the two brothers argue.
"I thought you said you knew how to fly this thing." Loki said to Thor who was pressing buttons randomly.
"I said 'how hard could it be?'" Thor reminded him.
"Don't hit it, hust press it gently." Loki instructed.
"I am pressing it gently! It' not working!" He said as he slammed the controls which, surprisingly, caused it to start working. "Ha ha." Thor said triumphantly, as he started the ship. It powered up and rose into the air.
"A little faster please." Natasha requested. The ship began flying forwards, striking many columns as it did.
"I think you missed a column." Harry said once he was done with the spells.
"Yes, yes thank you for you help." Thor said sarcastically as he flew the ship out of the building. Thor flew it at the fastest speed he could, this was good but had the unintended effect of damaging many buildings at the same time.
"Uh guys," Natasha said, bringing their attention to her, they saw her catch Jane who had just fainted and gently lay her down on the ground.
"Jane?"
"Oh, is she dead?" Loki asked curiously just as Harry rushed to her side.
"She's fine." Harry said as he looked her over. "For now at least."
"Not a word." Thor said to Loki after accidently destroying some more buildings.
"Now they're following us." Loki said when Asgardian ships began chasing them. "Now they're firing at us." He added when they began...you know what."
"Yes, thank you for the commentary Loki!" Thor said through gritted teeth. "It's not at all distracting!" Thor said just as the ship sliced through a large statue.
"Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather." Loki commented.
"Oh shit, really?" Harry asked.
"Odin's going to be upset." Natasha replied.
"Odin's always upset." Harry and Loki said at the same time, they then blinked and turned to each other with surprised looks on both of their faces. "Don't copy me." They both said at the same time. "Me? You're the one copying me? Stop that!"
"Oh god." Natasha rolled their eyes just as the ship flew to the side to avoid being blasted.
"This is a tremendous idea." Loki said sarcastically when the ship had just dodged some more blasts.
"It was Thor's idea." Natasha responded.
"Of course it is," Loki rolled his eyes "let's steal the biggest and most obvious ship in the universe and escape in that, flying round the city and smashing into everything in sight so that everyone can see us." He rated, not noticing the side door opening up behind him. "It's brilliant Thor! Truly brilliant!" Loki's impressive rant was cut off by Thor pushing him out of the ship.
"I bet you liked doing that." Harry smirked.
"Yes." Thor admitted with a grin as he put the ship on auto pilot, he went over to pick up Jane while Harry picked up Natasha. Thor and Harry jumped out of the ship, Thor fell to the chariot under them while Harry flew down quickly. Loki was currently face first on the floor of the chariot while its pilot, Fandral, was chuckling.
"I see your time in the dungeons have made you no less graceful, Loki." He said mockingly just as Harry placed Natasha on her feet and Thor gently placed Jane down.
"You lied to me," Loki said to Thor as he stood up. "I'm impressed." He admitted, having never suspected Thor of all people to be able to lie to him.
"I'm glad your pleased, now do as you promised and take us to your secret passage." An impatient Thor said. Loki gave a small smile before nodding and taking over the controls for the chariot.
"How good of a pilot are you?" Harry asked the god of mischief while the Asgardian ships still chased the ship that they had just left.
"Best in all of Asgard." Loki said proudly with more than a little bit of arrogance.
"Debatable." Fandral sniffed.
"I debate that." Loki responded just as the chariot began getting chased by other chariots.
"Fandral." Thor said when he saw a chariot flying after them.
"For Asgard." Fandral said just as he jumped off the chariot on to the other chariot and began fighting the Asgardians on the chariot.
"Excuse me for a sec." Harry said as he aimed his aimed his axe at another chariot. The axe head glowed in a bright white colour, a white beam shot out and struck the chariot causing it to fly off course and crash into the sea.
"Uh guys!" Natasha said with an alarmed expression when she saw the Loki was driving the chariot straight at a mountain.
"Brother!" Thor said.
"If it were easy then everybody would do it." Loki grinned.
"Are you mad?!"
"Probably." Loki nodded. Harry was about to comment when he saw the hole in the mountain, he assumed that the passage was probably a portal and where Loki was heading.
"Faster," Harry said, surprising everyone including Loki. "come on I know this thing goes faster than this."
"Very well wizard." Loki's grin got wider and increased the speed of the chariot. The chariot entered the passage, the sides scratched the side and the passengers hopped that the chariot didn't break, though the sparks coming from it didn't help ease their fears. All of a sudden they were blinded by a flash of several colours, just like when travelling through the Bifrost.
A few seconds later the chariot arrived in a new world, bumping off the ground as it landed before sliding a short distance away.
"Ta da." Loki couldn't help say. Harry and the others looked around, this world was definitely not like Asgard. Barely any sunlight thanks to the huge army of clouds in the air, dead bodied littered around a land of black sand. It looked like a whole dessert had been dipped in dark magic.
"Well, we're here at least." Natasha commented as she looked around.
"Of course you are mortal," Loki said. "you have me with you, you're not very likely to fail."
"Yes, yes, you've been a good boy." Harry said as he mockingly patted Loki on the head, he removed his hand when Loki scowled at him.
"What I could do with the power that flows through those veins." Loki said as Thor covered Jane in a blanket while they flew in the chariot, flying over dead bodies and massive ships that were left.
"It would consume you." Thor replied.
"She's doing well..." Loki gestured to Jane "for now at least."
"She's better than you." Harry said as he and Natasha sat alongside Jane.
"Truly?" Loki asked with an amused expression. "You believe that this mortal woman is more powerful than me?"
"There is more than one way to measure strength," Harry replied. "you're physically stronger I admit but she's stronger than you in other ways."
"Like what?"
"She's smart enough to know that power comes at a cost." Harry replied.
"But not smart enough to avoid dying." Loki countered. "Prepare to say goodbye."
"Not today." Thor replied with conviction in his voice.
"Loki, as much as we enjoy you annoying everyone, we'd like it if you could just shut up for once." Natasha said in an annoyed tone.
"Frigga nearly died," Harry spoke when he saw Loki open his mouth. "funnily enough she still loved you. Despite all you've done."
"Be careful wizard," Loki said in a warning tone. "I would be very careful right now. You and Odin..."
"Don't compare me to your father." Harry cut him off. "We'd both be offended, he doesn't like me anymore than you do."
"Really?" Loki raised an eyebrow.
"Yep, I think if it wasn't for the fact that I saved Frigga then he wouldn't like me at all." Harry nodded. "Odin is far from perfect, he's made mistakes. Serious ones, but there's one thing I can say for certain."
"And what would that be?"
"He's a stubborn idiot, but he does care for you, all of you." Harry answered. "And if you don't believe that then I know you'll at least believe me when I say that Frigga does, even Thor does..." Harry gestured to Thor, who gave the two a sad smile. "their love, that's a power greater than all." Harry said, hating the fact that he sounded very Dumbledore at the moment but he hoped that it would get through to Loki. "If you can't see that then you're a fool. You're an asshole but you're not a fool."
"You care for my mother." Loki said, it was a statement not a question.
"She's a kind woman, she is what I had always imagined my own mother to be like." Harry confessed as he stood up, he walked over to Loki and sat down next to him. He waved his hand and set up a few privacy spells so the two could talk without the others hearing.
"What are you doing?" Loki narrowed his eyes.
"Making it so we can talk without being heard." Harry answered.
"Why?"
"Your brother wants me to talk to you, he believes that if anyone besides Frigga can get through to you then it's me."
"Really?" That made Loki smile. "He puts a lot of faith in you."
"Yeah, I think the same" Harry nodded "but I'm going to at least try."
"Why? Why would you do that?"
"Because he's my friend." Harry said simply. "Now where were we? Oh yeah, Frigga, she's what I imagined my own mother to be like. I never knew my own mother."
"Did she not want you?" Loki said mockingly, though there was a hint of curiosity there.
"She was killed." Harry answered as he looked Loki in the eye. "My mother and father had sacrificed themselves to save me from a dark wizard when I was a baby, that was the precise moment when my life went to shit. You see I much like you ended up in the care of another family. The difference between you and me is that the family I got didn't love me." Harry paused to see if Loki was going to say anything, but when he realised that he wasn't going to he decided to continue. "My mother and father were magical, like me, the family I was put with hated that. They hated magic, my parents and me.
They made me into their slave, they forced me to cook and clean everything in their house while they doted on their idiotic and spoilt son. He could do no wrong while they punished me for just existing. They made me their scapegoat as well, anything goes wrong then I would be blamed and punished even if I wasn't anywhere near whatever went wrong. Did you sleep in a room when you were in Asgard?"
"What?" Loki looked confused at the sudden question.
"I said did they give you a room to sleep in when Odin took you in and let you stay in Asgard?"
"Yes, obviously."
"Lucky, I was given a small cupboard under the stairs to sleep in. Four bedrooms in a house with four people yet I was given a cupboard under the stairs while their son got two bedrooms. I wasn't treated like a second class person, I was treated like I wasn't even human."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I want you to know that when it comes to being lucky, you hit the jackpot. Not only were you taken in by a rich family but also one that genuinely cares for you. Look at Frigga, even a blind man could see she cares for you. As for Thor, he might say otherwise but it's obvious how much he wishes that the two of you could act like brothers again and not enemies. As someone who is actually immortal, I'd advise you take your time and enjoy your family while you can. They might not always be there."
"Odin lied to me..."
"I know," Harry cut him off. "I know and I understand. Odin is stubborn and always does what he thinks is best. If it's the best course of action is up for debate but he always does what he thinks is best. He reminds me of another old guy I knew, the difference is that when Odin lies he doesn't do it to hurt you. I'm sure that he had his reasons but I'm confident that they weren't to hurt you. You and Odin will be alive for a long time and have been alive for a long time, if he truly wanted to hurt you then he would've done it a long time ago."
"So am I supposed to just forgive him?" Loki asked as Harry's words echoed in his head.
"That's up to you." Harry shrugged. "Let's talk about something else, the mood is too serious at the moment."
"Like what?"
"I've heard you like pranks." Harry said slowly, a silence came over the two.
"...Go on..." Loki said giving Harry his full attention.
"Jane" Thor said when he saw her wake up. But Jane didn't respond, the group all looked towards where she was looking and saw a large black ship descending.
"Well that looks inviting." Natasha said dryly.
"Very." Loki said in the same tone.
"Alright, well, let's do this." Harry said as he grabbed Natasha and teleported away.
Thor, Loki and Jane walked along the black sandy floor of this dark world, ignoring the harsh and unforgiving cold. They stopped on the top of a hill, looking down at the dark elves that had exited from the ship. Thor recognised two of them, one was the black armoured creature that had stabbed Frigga, the other was Malekith. Thor gladly and proudly noted that half of Malekith's face was burnt.
"Are you ready?" He asked his two companions.
"I am," Loki said as he and Thor looked down at the elves that were calmly walking towards them before stopping. "you know that your plan is going to get us killed."
"Yes, probably." Thor nodded, expecting it to be a real possibility.
"If you wouldn't mind." Loki extended his hands towards Thor, clearly asking for the handcuffs to be removed. "Really?" Loki asked when he saw Thor look reluctant to do so. "You still don't trust me brother?"
"Would you?" Thor asked even though he did remove the handcuffs.
"No," Loki said as he turned away. "No I wouldn't." Loki quickly turned back and pulled out a knife before stabbing Thor in the gut, he removed the knife and shoved Thor down the hill and chased after him.
"Thor!" Jane called as Loki went after him, she followed and rushed down the hill.
"You really think that I cared about Frigga? About any of you?!" Loki demanded as he walked up to Thor and kicked him when he tried to get up. "All I ever wanted was you and Odin dead at my feet!"
Thor tried to summon his hammer to his hand but Loki reacted quickly and cut his hand off, causing Thor to scream in pain just as Jane reached him. She wasn't able to do anything as she was immediately grabbed by Loki.
"Malekith!" Loki said when the elves had walked up to them. "I am Loki of Jotunheim, and I have brought you a gift." Loki tossed Jane at Malekith's feet. "I ask for one thing in return, a good seat to watch Asgard burn." The black creature said something to Malekith's ear, Malekith walked over to Thor who was still writhing in pain and kicked him on to his stomach.
"Look at me." Malekith said to Thor, Malekith raised his right hand. Jane was pulled into the air against her will, her arms spread out and her body froze. The Aether began pouring out of her body, Thor took a quick look at everyone and saw that they were all suitably distracted. He waited for a few more seconds and saw that the Aether was now out of Jane.
"Loki! Now!" Thor yelled, Loki dispelled his illusion at a lightning speed. The removal of the illusion revealed Thor still had his hand, Thor summoned Mjolnir to his hand. The dark elves were ready to do something when back up arrived.
The black creature fell to the floor as Harry's Leviathan axe struck him in the chest, he ended up landing on two other elves but fortunately for him the axe didn't kill him. Harry dispelled his own spells to reveal himself and Natasha, Natasha began firing with her magically enhanced guns and moved towards Jane at the same time while Harry got in close and summoned Leviathan to his hand and cut them to pieces. Meanwhile Thor began blasting the Aether with a concentrated blast of lightning.
Natasha and Loki grabbed Jane and covered her while Harry put up a shield just as the Aether exploded, releasing a large red cloud up into the air. Several moment later the cloud had disappeared, Thor had his hammer ready while Harry had his axe while Natasha had her guns ready and Loki was still covering Jane.
Harry noticed the scattered red pieces from the Aether on the floor, the pieces began rising into the air. They all joined together before flying towards Malekith, letting the group know that their efforts have been for nothing. Malekith absorbed the Aether, his eyes turned red as he did so. Malekith grunted, satisfied with everything, he turned around and walked away with the elves following after him.
"Malekith!" Thor called as he rushed after him, Harry alongside him. A group of elves charged towards the pair but they made quick work of them using their weapons. Thor batted them away with Mjolnir while Harry cut them to piece with Leviathan.
All of a sudden the black creature stopped and turned around, he tossed a grenade at Loki and the girls. Loki saw the grenade coming and in a heroic and surprising act of self sacrifice pushed both the girls out the way, the grenade activated in midair and a small black hole appeared. Loki's body was pulled into the air as the black hole began sucking him in, Harry was about to go off and help out but Thor decided to do that. He watched as Thor tackled Loki away from the black hole which disappeared a few seconds later.
Harry turned back to the elves and tossed Leviathan at them, his axe flew through the air towards the black creature. It looked like it was going to hit until the creature turned around and slapped the axe away. Harry was briefly stunned but quickly got back into the fight, he teleported just as Thor flew towards the creature. The creature ducked Thor's strike and punched him away, Harry teleported to the side of the creature. He knelt down and summoned Leviathan to his hand.
The creature fell to the floor as it's legs were taken out from under it by Leviathan, once Harry grabbed the axe he brought it up before trying to slam it down on the creatures head. The creature raised his hands and caught the axe, he got to his feet at a surprising speed then pushed and Harry flew backwards and landed on the ground just as Thor threw Mjolnir at the creature.
The creature back handed Mjolnir away and rushed towards Thor, the two quickly engaged in a fist fight and Harry was more than surprised when it looked like the creature was winning. He knew how strong Thor was so if Thor was losing then that said something about how dangerous the creature was. The creature struck Thor and sent him flying back into a huge rock. Harry teleported behind the creature, it quickly turned around but was unable to stop Harry from slamming Leviathan into his stomach.
It growled and tried to strike Harry, it tried striking Harry several times but Harry was much quicker than it. Harry jumped back to avoid one particularly dangerous attack then summoned Leviathan out of the creatures body, this caused it to stumble forward. Harry placed a hand on his chest and sent it flying backwards with a high powered blasting hex, it landed face first after flipping mid-air. Harry aimed his axe at it and sent out a powerful ray of ice at it, freezing it in place.
Harry teleported next to Thor and helped him up.
"Are you alright?" Harry asked.
"I'm fine," Thor nodded. "have you dealt with the creature?"
"Well I froze it and..." Harry found himself being interrupted by a large roar, he and Thor both looked at the creature who was walking towards them. Slapping ice off of his body as he did so. "...apparently not. Go check on Jane and Natasha, see how your brother is doing as well." Harry ordered.
"Harry I won't leave you, you..."
"Thor," Harry cut him off. "this isn't me trying to be an idiot and fighting the thing by myself to prove a point. We came here to help Jane, as of the moment her only company on this alien planet in another realm apart from Natasha is Loki and/or dark elves. I'm going to deal with the...whatever that is. Besides it's stronger than you. Make sure they're safe and secure then if I haven't killed it by then then come back and help me."
"Very well," Thor nodded reluctantly. "are you sure you can handle it?"
"It's strength is physical, mine's magical." Harry said as he walked towards the creature while Thor flew off to check on the girls.
Harry threw the axe at it, the creature caught it with the intent of using it against Harry. Unfortunately he wasn't blood keyed to it, the creature stumbled as it couldn't hold up the axe. Harry blasted it backwards and followed through with the torture curse, the creature screamed in pain. Harry walked up to it, keeping the curse on as he did so, he summoned the axe to his hand. The creature was writhing in pain and turned onto his front, he tried to get up when Harry slammed the head of his axe into the creature's back.
"That's for Frigga." Harry said, he channelled his magic into the axe handle then into the axe head which was currently stuck in the creature's back, a green light flashed and Harry removed the axe from it's body. He was pretty sure that a killing curse from something that was in it's body would definitely kill it. "'Magic is feminine' my arse." He said to himself as he walked away, he cast a few spells to clean his axe before he teleported away to the girls and Thor.
"Is it dead?" Thor asked.
"I am ninety-nine percent sure that it is dead. If you want I can go and make sure by going back and removing it's head." Harry offered as he held his axe up.
"No...no...that'll be fine." Thor said with an awkward smile.
"If you're sure." Harry said as he put his axe in his hip holster.
"Are you both alright?" Natasha asked the two.
"No permanent damage." Harry shrugged. "How about you two?"
"Still alive." She said with an exact copy of Harry's shrug.
"I'm noticing a distinct lack of Loki." Harry said as he looked around. "Let me guess, he escaped right?"
"Yeah," Jane nodded. "we were attacked by some elves, he killed them all and then we got distracted by your fighting and the next thing we know is he's gone."
"Not totally unexpected but at least he didn't try to kill us," Harry said to Thor. "so that's at least some progress."
"Better than nothing I suppose." Thor agreed with a small nod and a sad smile.
"The wind's starting to pick up." Natasha said, true to her word the wind was beginning to get more violent, it began blowing sand everywhere while also constantly crashing against their skin.
"It's a storm." Jane said.
"Let's go." Harry said to the group as he started walking, they followed behind him. "We're not safe out here." He said as he cast charms to help protect them from the wind.
"Look this'll do for now." Natasha said as the group entered into a cave, allowing them to take a break from the howling winds.
"He's going to unleash it." Jane said. "Not just on Asgard or on a random planet, Malekith is going to destroy everything."
"How?" Thor asked. "Jane how?"
"I saw him on Earth, why would he go to Earth?"
"The convergence." Thor sighed.
"Of course." Natasha mumbled.
"It all goes back to the damn convergence." Harry said. "I hope the next time there's a convergence it doesn't end up like this."
"We should..." Thor was cut off by a blaring sound.
"What's that?" Natasha asked as they all looked towards the area where the sound was coming from, which happened to be deeper in the cave. The words that accompanied it told them that it was a song.
"I'm tempted to say music," Harry said as they walked further into the cave. "but to do so would be an insult to music." A ringing sound had them all look towards Jane who was answering a phone.
"Richard?!" She exclaimed in a shocked voice. "Where are you?!"
"Who's Richard?" Harry mouthed to Natasha.
"Don't know." She mouthed back.
The group continued walking while Jane conversed with Richard on the phone, they looked around and saw the cave littered with many things, Earth things. It was covered in shoes, there was also bottles, litter and even car keys. Jane appeared to have recognised a set of keys as she knelt down and grabbed them while still talking to Richard.
They walked for a few more moments when Jane suddenly disappeared.
"Portal." Natasha grinned, the group walked forwards and seconds later they found themselves back on Earth, specifically outside the warehouse they were Harry and Natasha had first met Jane. "Wow that feels weird."
The group walked towards a red car, one that Jane clearly owned. Either that or she was a better thief than Harry thought. Jane got into the driver seat with Thor in the front passenger seat while Harry sat in the seat behind Thor and Natasha sat in the seat behind Jane.
"So..." Thor said in a casual voice. "...who is Richard?"
"Really?" An exasperated Jane said as she reversed the car, Thor looked slightly confused while Natasha just smiled.
"Thor," Harry said as he leaned forward and put a hand on Thor's shoulder "I don't know who this 'Richard' is but I have your back if you need it."
Omake:
"Fury," Harry said as he walked into Fury's office, he found the director sitting behind his desk. "how are you doing?"
"I've been better." Fury sighed as he steepled his hands and leaned on his desk.
"You look tired." Harry noted.
"I'm always tired, now why are you here?"
"You asked me to make a list of potential avengers," Harry reminded him. "I'm still looking but I've got two so far." Harry said as he pulled the list out.
"Go on then." Fury said.
"Well the first is the devil of Hell's kitchen, a vigilante in hell kitchen, the beat up thugs and robbers sort of guy."
"Does he have any powers?" Fury asked.
"We're not sure but security footage indicates that he has some abilities as he is able to dodge things that he shouldn't be able to see plus he's a good martial artist. We've guessed that he's identity is Matt Murdock the blind lawyer who..."
"Nope." Fury cut him off. "Can't have him." He said, surprising Harry.
"Why not?"
"Disabled people get paid extra and we don't have the budget. Move on."
"Fine, how about this other guy? He's a mercenary, pretty skilled from what the footage shows and he appears to have a healing factor."
"Is his name by any chance Wade Wilson?" Fury asked.
"Yes," Harry nodded with a surprised look. " apparently he goes by the name Deadpool. I think we should..."
"Nope. We are not having him!"
"But..."
"Absolutely not!" Fury shouted.
"Okay damn," Harry said taking a step back. "what's wrong with him?"
"We do not speak of him in Shield." Fury growled as several memories flooded his head.
"What did he do?" Harry asked curiously.
"We do not speak of what he did in shield."
"Why not?"
"Because we do not think about what he did in shield!"
"Am I ever going to know what he did in shield?" Harry asked.
"No." Fury said immediately. "Leave then come back with more potential candidates."
A.N: Hi guys hope you liked the chapter, I'll admit it was a bit rushed. That's because I had lost three quarters of it yesterday and had to redo that but I still hope you guys liked it.
The Omake was just a random idea I had and placed it in, if you guys like it then I'll try and add some more in the next chapter but if you don't then fine.
The next chapter will be the end of the 'Thor the dark world' part of the story, I am currently deciding what to do with the Aether. I could just go the same way the movie did but I'd also like to change it up. I have a few ideas on what I could do with it which I'm trying to decide between but I'm also open to suggestions, I just make no promises to use them.
Thanks again for reading, hope you liked the chapter and feel free to leave a review.
