Heroes of the Storm

Author Notes: I hope everyone enjoyed the last chapter. Yes, it was my plan to give Harry the Phoenix Force. This will put him on Pair with people like Thor, Captain Marvel, Superman, Darkseid, Thanos, Shao Kahn, and other insane powerful galactic individuals. The difference is, Harry is so humble and well-meaning he won't exercise his power.

Right now, I admit the story is a bit of a mess, but come on - after a mass convergence of multiple universes, you have to expect it to be a mess. The story is starting to become stable, and I'm going to take every arc one day at a time.

Regarding Avengers: Battleground, I felt I did that story an un-justice. I rushed the story arcs and the story as I tried to keep up with the MCU. I support my readers who have been patient with me with that story, but I want to do it right, which is why I'm doing this story in a mass crossover.

Chapter 31: The Girl From Space

Harry stands in front of Skye and Miles Lydon.

Skye tries hard not to look Harry in the eye. Miles Lydon tries to look defiant.

"You still believe your actions don't have consequences," said Harry.

"We're firm believers in freedom of information," said Miles.

"Duley noted. That's why people like you are a threat to society. You take no regard in the people you hurt when you release this information," said Harry.

Gabriel walks forward and injects something into Miles's arm.

"What the hell?!" shouted Miles looking at his arm back at Gabriel.

"That little beauty is a state of the art G.P.S. tracking device. We'll be watching far more closely now. The fact that you helped us stop this group's actions and help us get a lead on this woman is enough for us to remedy your punishment in a top-secret prison. I wouldn't even think about trying to have that removed," said Harry.

"Also, Mr. Chen's family is very grateful for your generous donation," said Phil Coulson.

Miles Layton looks at Phil Coulson in disbelief as two S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents move to escort Miles off the Bus.

Harry turns back to look at Skye.

"You still don't know why you were brought on board, do you," said Harry.

"Look, I'm a firm believer in freedom of information," said Skye.

Harry looks at her before he turns and walks away.

Gabriel grabs Skye by the arm as Harry walks towards the meeting room.

"I want you to look careful at all this information. Tell me what you see?" said Harry.

"People," said Skye.

"Look again," said Harry.

Skye looks carefully and realizes most of the people were those she had encountered with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"A new age is upon this world. A new arms race has begun within the shadows of this world. No one will publicly acknowledge there is an arms race. After the Invasion of New York, countless governments and organizations are now after something that is far more valuable than a billion nuclear warheads," said Harry.

"People," said Skye.

"Partially. Enhance is the correct term. People with remarkable skills or with powers. Governments and corporations after their own Avengers. Whether it's through using people as guinea pigs or creating technology to dominate their country and the world," said Harry.

"Is that why the Empire has a closed border policy?" said Skye.

"Yes. With so many unknowns and threats both seen and unseen, we aren't sure who we can trust, and we can't invite chaos into our borders," said Harry.

"Then why was I brought here?" said Skye.

"To find those who seek to create super soldiers or weapons of mass destruction," said Harry.

Skye looks at Harry in surprise.

"You're good at that. That's why we brought you aboard. You think what happened in Los Angeles was by luck or coincidence. That takes skills and talent. You found something S.H.I.E.L.D. Didn't. That's what remarkable that you discover that place a cheap laptop. Imagine what you could have found with S.H.I.E.L.D. resources. The only problem was you were an unknown who could not be trusted. That's why we had Cassie Cage shadow you from day one. Because we know your still hiding something," said Harry.

Skye looks at Harry before she sighs, knowing she had to come clean.

Reaching inside her bra, she reveals an sd card she's been holding onto.

Harry takes the SD Card and places it on the table, revealing several documents on the table.

"What's this?" said Phil.

Phil Coulson had watched the entire exchange patiently.

"It's everything I've learned about my parents. It leads to one source," said Skye.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.," said Phil looking at the files.

"I would tread carefully with this information, Skye. I know how much you want to know about your parents. Some information is better off not knowing. Once you learn something, you cannot unlearn it," said Harry.

"I want to know," said Skye.

Harry turns to look at Coulson, who nods his head.

"I'll talk to Director Fury. See what he can find," said Coulson.

"You trust him?" said Skye.

Harry paused, listening carefully.

"Absolutely. Nick Fury was my S.O. for many years. He may be a man of secrets, but his intentions have always been to protect people. Director Fury will talk to me," said Coulson.

Gabriel walks forward and stands before Harry.

"Did you find what you were looking for, Big Guy?" asked Harry as Skye and Coulson left the room.

"Negative. Given the Convergence, Skynet may not even exist in this universe," said Gabriel.

"The threat of a rogue A.I. cannot be dismissed even in this new day and age. How are your new upgrades working out?" said Harry.

"I have no current problems with the functions of my new onboard systems," said Gabriel.

"Did Stark and Wayne take a look at you?" said Harry.

"They did," said Gabriel.

"And?" said Harry.

"My Twin Hydrogen Fuel Cells have successfully been removed. I have a Miniature Arc Reactor as my power source," said Gabriel.

"How are your other assignments going?" asked Harry.

"With the information of Skynet's future, as well as the current information in this world, The Empire's military strength will increase by three hundred percent by next year," said Gabriel.

"If I recall, you have detail files on all military doctrines," said Harry.

"Correct," said Gabriel.

"How's our military standard coming compare to the rest of the world?" said Harry.

"As Empress Kitana has no real role in leading, only being an assassin, she didn't know how to assemble an army only by asking the masses. The programming and instructors I have put in place will give you the strongest military on the planet," said Gabriel.

"Aegis Project?" said Harry.

"Proceeding ahead of schedule," said Gabriel.

Harry knew this was good news. A base of operations no would find. A base where they could respond against any threat in the world. As well as prevent another alien invasion.

"What of Theta Protocol?" said Harry.

"Also proceed ahead of schedule," said Gabriel.

"Good, keep them off all records," said Harry.

"Understood," said Gabriel.

"Have you created the weapon you wanted?" said Harry.

Gabriel reaches down and pulls out a case.

He opens the case carefully, revealing a custom assault rifle with two pistols.

"Base on the technology Agent Fitz used for his Night-Night Gun and based off Chitauri blasters, and Tony Stark's repulsor technology," said Gabriel.

"How efficient is it?" said Harry.

"Very," said Gabriel.

"Things are about to get more dangerous," said Harry.

"Affirmative," said Gabriel.

"How is your other assignment coming along?" asked Harry.

"After analyzing every known substance, I believe I have found a possible solution," said Gabriel.

"That's good. Return to the Empire, and prepare our defensives," said Harry.

"You don't want me to stay?" said Gabriel.

"Do you wish to stay?" said Harry.

"My priority is to protect you," said Gabriel.

"I got a call before I came here. I'm heading back to Avengers Island. Thor is back," said Harry.

Gabriel turns to look at Harry calmly.

"Is there trouble?" said Gabriel.

"Doubtful," said Harry.

Bruce Wayne looks up as the mythical door opens up, revealing Harry and Gabriel walking through.

"You know, I still don't understand how that door even works," said Tony looking at Harry.

"Magic," said Harry.

"You say that like it explains everything," said Tony.

"How are things with S.H.I.E.L.D.?" asked Bruce.

"Good, and your end?" said Harry.

"For now, the United States is backing off. They won't back off for long," said Bruce Wayne.

"That is the wisest course at the moment," said Harry.

"I have discovered Lex Luthor has built a Genetics Lab in Washington D.C. using backdoor money from the United States Government," said Gabriel.

"He's never up to any good, is he," said Bruce Wayne.

"Someone we should watch out for?" said Tony.

"He's been obsessed with killing Superman for years. He doesn't like the idea of aliens being our saviors. So he tries to advance the ideas of humanity first," said Bruce Wayne.

"Sounds like he'll go after Thor as well," said Tony.

"Who will come after me? Let them test my might," said Thor walking into the room.

"Luthor, apparently he's created a genetic research lab in D.C. Its true purpose is to find a way to defeat the Avengers," said Harry.

"This world has started to become stable, but there are still threats roaming around," said Bruce.

"Yeah, shadow organizations are seeking to replicate and create their own super soldiers. Not to mention there is a high probability of politicians supplying funding for these groups," said Harry.

"Speaking of which, sir, the Rising Tide has made numerous attempts to hack into Avengers Severs," said J.A.R.V.I.S.

"You made sure our information can't be accessed by outside means," said Bruce Wayne looking at Tony Stark.

"One hundred percent. Avengers Database is run by state of the art SCIF. No outside parties can access our information. Not without proper clearance," said Tony.

Harry pauses as he eyes the kitchen, sensing four people he did not know.

"Who's here?" asked Harry.

"Well, we got a family of heroes who reached out to us. More like Dr. Storm reached out to us," said Tony.

"Dr. Reed Richards, Dr. Susan Storm, her brother Johnny Storm and Dr. Richards friend Benjamin Grimm. They call themselves the Fantastic Four," said Bruce Wayne.

"A family of superheroes?" said Harry with a raised eyebrow.

"You can talk to them about their powers if you want," said Tony.

Harry rises from the floor and starts floating after Bruce and Tony.

"Hey Bruce," said Harry to Dr. Banner, who was talking to a blonde woman.

"Oh hey," said Bruce shaking Harry's hand.

"Sue, this is Mesmer. Also, the Emperor of the newly established Oceanic Empire. Harry, this is Dr. Susan Storm," said. Dr. Banner.

The newly established Oceanic Empire was formed after Australia, New Zealand, the Micronesia Islands, Papua New Guinea island, and Kalimantha Island signed the Oceanic Treaty. It gave the Empire exclusive rights to the Oceanic Terrotirtoes once more.

Tension mount between the United States Armed Forces and the Imperial Forces over who had rights over what territories.

Harry suspected these countries' leaders realized a superpower next to them could easily conqueror them if it came to war.

Thus it gave the Empire not only more territory but also more influence and power.

The Oceanic Countries knew the Empire's strength was greater than N.A.T.O.'s. Thus they join the Empire and the Alliance for better protection.

Thanks to Gabriel, the Empire's military might had increased tenfold and was greater than any nations on earth.

"What brings you here?" asked Harry.

"I'm looking into the Convergence," said Sue Storm.

"Or at least Reed is," she added bitterly.

Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Any theories on how or why it happened?" asked Harry.

"None. Reed has been throwing himself into work looking into what caused the Convergence," said Sue Storm.

"How did your family become heroes?" asked Harry.

Sue chuckles.

"First off, while we may be heroes to the public, in truth, we're explorers. We gain our powers from a cosmic ray that fried one of Reed's satellites when we on a month observation mission," said Sue Storm.

"What brings you here?" said Harry, unsure of their intentions.

"Well, my husband wanted to show off some of his latest research," said Sue.

There was a bitterness in her tone regarding the way she talked about her husband.

"This place is amazing," said a young man.

"Careful hot stuff, I don't want you burning my place down," said Tony.

"Don't worry, I won't flame on," said the man.

"My brother, Johnny Storm," said Susan Storm.

"You have any theories on what caused the Convergence?" asked Harry.

"Unfortunately, none. I'm as stump as the rest of the world," said Susan Storm.

"Are you not bothered by not knowing?" asked Harry.

"I am, but at this point, if no one has any theories or facts to support what caused the Convergence. At this point, there is no reason to look into the Convergence any longer," said Susan Storm.

"Because the Convergence at this point would be irreversible," said Harry.

"Unfortunately, we cannot revert back to our normal state. There is no telling what damage we could cause if we attempt to reverse the damage," said Susan Storm.

"Where is Doctor Richards?" asked Bruce Wayne.

"In the lab checking out the latest of Stark-Wayne tech," said Tony.

"Jennifer?" asked Harry, referring to the newest addition to the team in She-Hulk.

"She's adjusting well. It took a while for her to get used to being so… green," said Dr. Banner.

"What's Superman been doing?" asked Harry.

"Mostly stopping some thieves around Metropolis. You should meet his boss Perry White. Good guy who is firm in his sources and news outlet. On the side note, he's been trying to date Lois Lane as Clark Kent," said Bruce Wayne.

"I thought Lois Lane was into you," said Harry.

"It's complicated," said Bruce Wayne.

"Sounds like every aspect of your life is complicated," said Harry.

Lois Lane, Daily Planet's star reporter, was into Superman but not Clark Kent. At the same time, she was into Bruce Wayne, but not in Batman.

"Whose eating our food?" said Harry hearing the kitchen being empty.

"That would be Ben. Ever since becoming 'The Thing,' he's had a huge appetite," said Johnny Storm.

"Same as you," said Susan Storm.

Before anyone could say anything else, the night sky began to glow orange as the roof began to rumble. Everyone looks up before hearing a loud roar, then nothing.

The island shakes a bit before settling down.

"Sir, a meteor has crashed into Gotham Bay," said J.A.R.V.I.S.

"We better get on it," said Bruce Wayne.

"Is that really important?" said Tony.

"We don't want anything foreign falling into the wrong hands like with Chitauri tech," said Bruce Wayne.

"It also could be remnants of Chitauri tech," said Harry.

There was some Chitauri tech trapped in the upper and lower atmosphere. The cleanup for the Invasion of New York was still ongoing, and it was a problem as many were seeking alien tech.

"I'll get the suit," said Tony.

Harry and Bruce look at one another.

"Is he making this a race?" said Johnny Storm.

"Most likely," said Bruce Wayne.

"Oh, it's on, Flame On!" shouted Johnny Storm as his body erupts in living flames. He then takes off, flying towards the site of the meteor sight.

"How does he plan on swimming in Gotham Bay?" asked Harry.

"Well, as you can see with my younger brother, he's a hot streak with a hothead. Doesn't really think things through," said Susan Storm.

Bruce said nothing walking towards his 'Cave' on the island, and quickly steps into his new Batsuit. A few moments later, Iron Man takes off towards the site.

"Hey Hotsuff, how you plan on entering the water?" asked Iron Man to the Human Torch, who was floating above the water.

"Huh," said Johnny Storm,

"Yeah, really need to think things through," said Iron Man as he dives into the water.

The BatCraft soon appears before diving into the water.

"So how do you like your new boat?" asked Iron Man.

"Don't get cocky. This was a joint project," said Batman.

"Still kicks ass compare to your old ones," said Iron Man.

Harry had changed into his Asgardian armor with the Phoenix Force burning around him.

"What you guys see?" asked Phoenix.

"Glowing green rocks," said Iron Man.

"That's Kryptonite," said Batman.

"Kryptonite? You mean as in Superman?" said Iron Man.

"That means this wasn't Chitauri but rather Kryptonian," said Phoenix.

"Sir, I'm detecting an unknown metal object at the bottom of the lake. Given the shape and design of the said object, it appears to be some sort of spacecraft," said J.A.R.V.I.S.

"That means we have a visitor," said Batman.

"Tony, I'm sending the Recon Units to collect every sample and the craft back to Avengers Island," said Bruce Wayne.

"Recall your brother, Susan Storm. If there becomes an incident, then he shouldn't get involved," said Phoenix.

"I can help," said Human Toch.

"You shouldn't," said Phoenix as Human Torch revert back to Johnny Storm.

In midair, Johnny Storm begins to fall into Gotham Bay before finding himself next to Susan Storm.

"I hate that guy," said Johnny Storm.

"I rather like him," said Susan Storm.

The Iron Legion begins to heads towards Gotham Bay to collect the Kryptonite and the spaceship.

"Sir, I'm detecting a disturbance in Gotham City. Gotham Police have been called to deal with a metahuman," said J.A.R.V.I.S.

"I'm on it," said Phoenix.

Phoenix takes off flying towards Gotham City as Batman and Iron Man follow suit.

Phoenix could hear the sound of gunfire nearby and went to investigate the source.

Phoenix arrives to see Batman standing on the rooftop.

"How does he do that?" asked Phoenix, who knew Batman was still in the Gotham Bay when he arrived in the city.

"Don't ask me," said Iron Man arriving next to Phoenix.

A girl wearing a brown trench coat climbs the side of the building. She had long blonde hair as she continues to escape and evade the police.

She looks up to see Batman standing above her on the edge of the rooftop.

Batman grabs the girl's hand and pulls her up, but she places her feet on Batman's chest and pushes off, sending Batman flying across the rooftop.

"Okay, little girl, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," said Iron Man with his repulsor humming.

He fires a warning shot to show he meant business.

The girl's eyes turn red before she fires a heat vision at Iron Man, sending him flying backward.

Phoenix looks at Iron Man, who crashed into the building.

Phoenix turns to see the girl taking off running in the other direction as Batman gives chase.

As she leaps off the building, clearly to get away from Batman, she begins to kick in midair before heading upwards.

The girl screams, flying until she crashes into one of Gotham's Surveillance Blimp.

Phoenix uses his telekinesis powers to stop the Blimp from falling while also repairing the damage.

He looks down upon seeing where the girl had crashed into an abandoned building.

Phoenix lands on the ground seeing the girl shaken by her ordeal. Her trench coat was ruined as she was now naked. She holds herself, speaking in her language as she tries to calm herself. She rocks back and forth.

She turns and sees Phoenix floating above her, looking at her.

She was afraid, and it showed in her eyes.

Phoenix raised his hand as she conjures a long shirt for her. The shirt quickly and easily places itself on her as she looks at him in confusion.

"I think that's enough for one night," said Batman.

Batman made his appearance as he approaches the girl.

The girl, frightened, gets up and quickly hides behind Phoenix, who lands softly on the ground.

"We'll take her back to Avengers Island where she'll be safe. You also might want to call Superman," said Phoenix.

Phoenix grabs the girl and teleports back to Avengers Island.

Batman stands there where Phoenix and the girl disappeared.

"Hmm," said Batman.
