TheDemon1911 : Thanks, and if I might ask, what story did you stop reading for mine? I'd be really flattered if you told me it was a really good one like something from Colt01 or Questionablequotations or something.
Blaze1992 : If you mean will I make one then probably not, though I do like the idea of Harry meeting Kamala. I think if I had to do a HP/game crossover then I'd like to do it with either the Arkham games, Uncharted games or God of War.
thunderofdeath97 : Damn it, now I want to add Wanda.
Rara : I am thinking about it but I'm not sure.
A.N: Hi guys, before you continue reading I just want to say that I know there are some problems with fanfic at the moment. I mean 90% of the time I can't even see recent uploads for my own chapters from other stories. I don't know what the problem is or when it will be fixed, until then I would advise using the fanfic app, it's free and that's how I've been reading new chapters lately. Please spread the word because I've already gotten tons of people messaging me and asking about it. Thank you.
Chapter 52 -
Harry teleported just outside of the building where he knew Ultron and Helen Cho would be, Harry was currently on his own (with the exception of Clint who was flying nearby in the jet) as he insisted that it was better this way since the other Avengers were not at full health and Thor wasn't here. It took a lot of arguing, especially with Steve, but a bit more arguing and some genuine threats and they had stayed put. Tony and Clint were still fine, Harry had given the former a portkey that would take him to the Nexus in Oslo and back once he was done. Tony was heading there so they could work out who exactly was responsible for preventing Ultron from getting nuclear codes.
The Avengers took the threat of nuclear weapons far more serious ever since they had all heard Harry's story of how his own world had been destroyed by nuclear weapons. None of them were really willing to let there be a repeat of what happened to Harry's world. That meant quickly learning who was responsible for protecting the codes and seeing if they weren't going to use them themselves. But for now Harry pushed that thought out of his mind and focused on dealing with Ultron. Harry looked around, there didn't appear to be any Ultron bots nearby but Harry was still going to stay vigilant.
Harry teleported directly into Helen Cho's lab, he landed with his wand ready to start blasting if needed but it turns out it wasn't needed, he lowered his wand as he looked around. Harry saw a small group of scientist lying dead on the floor. Harry waved his wand to cast a detection spell, he was quickly able to find at least one person alive. Harry rushed past the dead bodies and into the next lab, he found Doctor Cho the room. She was sat against a wall with a big wound on her chest and blood over her face and uniform. "Alright, stay calm, I'm going to start healing you." Harry said before he began waving his wand over her. "You know that this would be a really, really good time for you to start talking so I can start figuring out a way to stop Ultron." Harry added as he continued waving his wand over her wound.
"He...he is...he is uploading himself...into the body." Helen Cho gasped out as she could feel her body healing itself.
"Where?" Harry asked after he continued waving his wand.
"The real power is inside the cradle." She replied as she continued to feel her body healing, she would love to ask him some questions about magical healing and the limits it possesses but unfortunately now was very clearly not a good time to start asking those questions. She also would have gladly answered Harry's question if she knew the answer but unfortunately she did not. "The gem, it's all about the gem, the power...the power it has. Its power is uncontainable. You cannot let Ultron get his hands on it, you can't. You can't just blow it up, you have...you have to get it to Stark."
"We got to find it first." Harry said once he was done. "You'll be fine for now, you will need more medical assistance but you are healed enough. When did Ultron leave?"
"A...a few minutes ago, he planned...he planned to go incognito...stay under the radar."
"Under the radar," Harry said under his breath. "he is transporting the cradle so probably a truck of some kind." Harry said to himself before he nodded to her. "Thank you." Harry said before he teleported out. Harry instantly took the air and began casting wide spread diagnostic spells, he could detect many life signs coming from various big trucks but what he was actually doing was looking for a lack of life signs. "Barton," Harry said into his ear piece. "did you get all that?"
"All of it," Clint's voice replied. "so keep an eye out for trucks?"
"If he's trying to hide and has got the cradle with him then it makes sense to carry it in something that can carry the cradle and be normal enough for you to not bat an eye at." Harry replied.
"Fair enough." Clint replied.
"Find anything?" Harry asked a couple of minutes later.
"I have actually," Clint replied after a few moments. "or at least I think might have found something." Barton said, he was going to say more when Grim suddenly teleported back into the jet and landed right behind him. "Whoa! Don't do that!" Barton jumped in his seat before he shook his head to calm himself down.
"Well...are you going to speak or what?" Grim asked in an impatient voice.
"Look down there." Barton said as he pointed down. "It's the truck from the lab, on the loop by the bridge."
"I see it." Harry said as his eyes locked on the truck.
"I got three with the cradle and one in the cab, I can take out the driver." Barton offered.
"No." Harry shook his head. "We don't really know what we are dealing with. If we take out the driver then that could result in a crash and the cradle being damaged enough to explode or something. You do that and we could end up causing more damage than we can handle. I will draw out Ultron and then I'll portkey the cradle back to Avengers tower. You can go and head back, I will meet you there."
"Are you sure?" Clint asked.
"Three in the cradle, one possibly being Ultron, plus a driver." Harry replied. "That I am sure I can handle, don't worry, I know my limits. Unless Ultron had discovered some magically resistant metal and made himself a new body then I am fairly sure I can take him, even if he had, I am still sure I can take him. Go back." Harry said before he teleported out of the jet before he landed on top of a bridge. "Come on Potter, don't screw this up." Harry said to himself just as the truck was about to pass under him. The truck went under the bridge and Harry quickly ran to the other side, once it was in view again Harry jumped off the bridge and onto the top of the truck.
His landing was thankfully pretty quiet, if not it would have likely made Ultron aware of his presence. Harry made the top of the truck see through from the outside, this way anything on the inside of the truck could look up and only see the truck ceiling. Harry looked down to see two Ultron bots plus Ultron himself and the cradle. Harry let out a small sigh before he walked over to the back and flicked his wand at the truck doors, two knocking sounds were heard on each door.
"No, no, leave me alone!" Harry heard Ultron's voice shout from inside the truck.
The truck doors suddenly burst open thanks to a blast from inside, the right door fell off while the left door nearly came off but wasn't fully ripped off so it ended up being dragged across the road by the truck. Harry saw Ultron's hand reach out just before Ultron's head came into view, the robot was clearly trying to look around for threats. Harry quickly aimed his wand down and aimed it at Ultron.
"Ahem." Harry coughed, Ultron quickly span around and looked at him. "What's up you midget Decepticon?" Harry calmly asked.
"...Hi." Ultron said in an awkward voice.
"Bye." Harry replied before he blasted him into pieces. Harry heard the sound of something being fired off and quickly moved from his position just in time to avoid a blast that had shot through the truck ceiling and nearly hit Harry. Harry landed inside the truck where he saw the cradle positioned in front of him with an Ultron bot standing one either side of it. Both Ultron bots raised their arms to start blasting but neither of them were really as fast as Harry who was able to raise his wand and quickly destroy both of them. "Well that was anticlimactic." Harry said before he created a portkey and attached it to the cradle, a few seconds later the cradle disappeared and would be found in Avengers tower.
Harry was about to teleport into the passenger seat of the trucker and take out the driver when suddenly the truck just stopped, Harry quickly teleported on top of the truck. And saw an Ultron bot - the one that was driving the truck - attempt to escape by flying off. It didn't get too far before Harry was able to take it out with a single spell.
"Ultron bots are dealt with." Harry said into his communications ear pieces. "The cradle should be in the tower by now."
"Got it." Tony's voice replied. "Nice work."
"I'll meet you guys there." Harry said before he cut communication, Harry was about to teleport away when he suddenly heard a voice.
"Wait!" A female voice called. Harry turned around and looked down, he saw Wanda and Pietro, the Maximoff twins, staring at him. "We need your help!" Wanda called. She was hoping that Harry would at least be willing to listen to them, thought the narrowing of his eyes certainly didn't help her keep up those hopes.
Bruce felt like throwing something, or breaking something, or punching something...he...he just felt like damaging something. Everything was going so well, so incredibly well, the Ultron bots were taken care of, the cradle is in front of him and the rest of the team are resting and healing plus Harry will be back soon. But no...that would be too simple.
It turned out that the person who was responsible for stopping Ultron from gaining nuclear codes was Jarvis, apparently Jarvis hadn't been completely destroyed, Tony was able to find him and piece him back together. And now Tony was arguing for placing Jarvis into Ultron's perfect body and Bruce hated himself for actually starting to see what Tony was saying. Bruce couldn't help but think the idea was a good one, even if he hated, now he just had to pray that Harry would at least hear them both out long enough for them to explain, if not then there would possibly be two less Avengers on the team...and in the land of the living.
"Alright, tell me what you want, now." Harry said as he and the Maximoff twins stood on top of a building, Harry had teleported the two there in the hopes of a private conversation.
"U...Ultron, I saw his plan." Wanda gulped.
"Saw his plan?" Harry repeated.
"He plans to destroy the world." She said with a somber expression on her face.
"Destroy the world?" Harry echoed, his eyes widening slightly.
"Yes, I saw your memories, I experienced what you saw and felt. I never want to experience that again." Wanda said
"Try experiencing it first hand," Harry said as he rubbed his eyes. He was tempted to point out that she'd be too dead to experience it but decided that was not really what he should be focusing on.
"The cradle," Wanda said suddenly, "did you get it?" She asked in a hopeful voice.
"It's being taken care of, it's with Stark, he'll take care of it." Harry replied.
"No he won't." Wanda said, shaking her head and looking scared.
"Look, you hate Stark. I get it, I really do. And I will be the first to admit that he is an idiot, but despite what you might think, he is a good person."
"He will do anything to make things right." Wanda replied in a worried voice. Harry blinked at her for a second before his eyes widened in realization.
"Stark," Harry said into his communication device. "Stark you had better answer. Nat? Barton? Anyone on comms?"
"Ultron can't tell the difference between saving the world and destroying it, where do you think he gets that?" Wanda asked.
"Fuck," Harry cursed before he looked at both twins. "okay, you two are coming with me." Harry said after a few moments.
"What?" Pietro blinked.
"You come with me or I break your legs to make sure you don't interfere." Harry said in an impatient voice as he held his arm out. "Now, grab on." Harry ordered.
"Come on Pietro." Wanda said, grabbing Harry's arm.
"Fine." Pietro sighed before grabbing Harry's arm. Harry teleported them away and they landed in Avenger's tower. "Whoa!" Pietro exclaimed as he shook his head, he seemed to be handling it better than Wanda who looked like she was about to puke.
"You get used to it," Harry said just as Padfoot ran up to him. "hey boy, where the hell is everyone?"
"Woof." Padfoot barked.
"Where are the others?" Harry asked.
"Woof."
"Stark and Banner are up in their lab, Romanoff and Barton arrived a while back." Harry said as he began walking with Padfoot and the twins following after him.
"You can understand him?" Pietro asked in a surprised voice.
"I can do a lot of things, mate." Harry said just as he came across Sif.
"Harry," She said in a surprised voice. "what are you...
"I'll explain later." Harry cut her off as he walked past her. "get everyone and bring them to the lab, quickly." Harry called. He and the twins soon reached the lab. "Oi Stark," He said when he saw Banner and Bruce working on the cradle. "having fun?"
"About as much as one can in this situation." Tony said with a small shrug.
"Tony, shut that down now." Harry said.
"No." Tony lazily replied as he continued working.
"Then I will shut you down." Harry said in a low voice.
"Really?" Tony paused and looked at Harry.
"Tony, if you don't stop I will hurt you." Harry warned. "You guys don't know what you're doing."
"And you do? She's not in your heads." Bruce said as he pointed to Wanda.
"I know you're angry..." Wanda spoke only to be interrupted.
"And what are these two doing here?" Tony asked as he pointed to the twins.
"Well, Stark," Wanda glared at him. "we are here because you are an idiot."
"Last time we saw you, you set Grim on all of us. How do we know you're not still in his head?" Bruce asked.
"Hey," Harry whispered to Pietro as the others began arguing. "would you mind?" Harry said as he gestured to the cradle with his head. Pietro smirked before he began zooming around and unplugging every thing he could.
"No, go on," Pietro said when he stopped, the cradle began losing power. "you were saying." Any further response was cut off by the sound of a gunshot, the glass that Pietro was standing upon shattered and he fell down to the ground below.
"Pietro!" Wanda screamed, she looked down the to the ground below and saw Pietro lying on the floor with Clint standing above him with a gun aimed at Pietro, Clint had also made sure to place a foot on Pietro's leg to prevent him from getting up.
"What? You didn't see that coming?" Clint grinned.
"I'm rerouting the upload." Tony said.
"For fuck sakes Tony." Harry said under his breath before he raised his wand.
"Wait, stop!" Bruce shouted.
One Iron Man gauntlet flew to Tony's hand, he fired a blast at Harry who easily blocked with a magical shield just as everyone else arrived.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Steve demanded to know. Just as Harry and Tony aimed their weapons at each other.
The fighting was interrupted as Thor came into the room, all eyes turned to him, Thor didn't say anything, instead he quickly jumped on top of the cradle.
"Thor?" Harry asked but he wasn't given a verbal response, Thor raised his hammer and summoned lightning to it.
"Wait!" Banner said but was ignored as Thor thrust his lightning down and began charging up the cradle. Once he was done the cradle exploded open, sending Thor flying back, a purple creature came out of the cradle. Human shaped with a yellow stone on it's forehead, Ultron's perfect body.
It looked around for several seconds before its eyes landed on Thor who had just got back to his feet, it lunged at Thor, Thor caught it and tossed it away. It flew through one of the glass windows in the lab but stopped before it crashed into the penthouse windows. It began looking at it's own reflection just as everyone arrived in the penthouse, preparing for a fight. When Thor arrived in the penthouse he put Mjolnir down on a table before he gestured for the others to stand down.
"I'm sorry," Ultron's creation said as he flew back down to the floor and his body changed into a green colour. "that was odd." He said and Harry easily recognized Jarvis's voice.
"Thor, you helped create this thing?" Steve asked as the creation sprouted a cape and wrist gauntlets after looking at Thor.
"Yeah, do you mind explaining which concussion was responsible for this?" Harry asked.
"I've had a vison." Thor said. "A whirlpool that sucks in all hope of life and at its center was that." Thor pointed to the gem in the creations forehead.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"It's the mind stone, one of six infinity stone," Thor answered. "the greatest powers in the universe, unparalleled in its destructive capabilities. It's the second one we have dealt with." Thor said as he looked at Harry. "You might remember the one that we dealt with with Jane."
"The Aether." Harry realized.
"Yes, but what it actually is, is the reality stone." Thor corrected.
"But why would you give it to..." Steve trailed off and gestured to the creation.
"Because Stark was right." Thor replied.
"Oh shit." Harry cursed under his breath.
"Oh it's definitely the end of time." Bruce said out loud while Padfoot let out a sad whine.
"Okay...feelings." Tony said as he placed a hand on his chest.
"The Avengers cannot beat Ultron." Thor said.
"Not alone." The creation spoke next.
"Why does your vision sound like Jarvis?" Steve asked.
"We reconfigured Jarvis's matrix to create something new." Tony explained.
"I thought Jarvis was destroyed." Gwen frowned.
"Apparently not," Bruce replied. "it was Jarvis who was stopping Ultron from accessing the nuclear codes. Tony found him and placed him back together again."
"And then you both put him in this machine?" Sif asked in a questioning tone as she gestured to the creation.
"That's right," Tony nodded. "Ultron built his perfect body, we placed the perfect operator in it. As great as Ultron could have been, but without all of his flaws. This is the new and improved."
"Yes but define 'new'." Harry said as he looked at the creation with narrowed eyes. "Are we dealing with Jarvis or an Ultron 2.0?"
"You think I'm a child of Ultron?" The creation asked, his tone didn't suggest frustration or anger. It was more curious than anything else.
"Are you?" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"I am not Ultron, I am not Jarvis either...I am...Vision." Vision replied.
"I looked in your head and saw annihilation." Wanda said.
"Look again." Vision replied.
"Her seal of approval means jack to me." Barton scoffed.
"Their powers," Thor gestured to the Maximoff twins, "Ultron himself even, they all came from the mind stone. With it on our side..."
"Is it?" Natasha asked. "Is it really on our side?"
"I don't think it's that simple." Vision replied.
"It never is." Gwen scoffed.
"Well, I am going to make it simple." Harry said as he stepped in front of Vision. "I want to know whose side you are on and if you don't want to be reduced to scrap metal then I would advise answering quickly." Harry finished, his eyes flashing green as the tip of his wand briefly glowed red.
"I am on the side of life," Vision calmly replied, seemingly not bothered by Harry's attitude. "Ultron isn't. He wishes to end it."
"That much is clear." Sif replied.
"But he hasn't done it yet." Natasha noted. "What is he waiting for?" She asked.
"You." Vision replied. "All of you, he is waiting for the Avengers."
"Where?" Bruce asked.
"I...I think I know." Wanda said in a quiet voice, everyone looked at her. "He had mentioned Sokovia, it's where we are from and I saw glimpses of it when I read..." She gestured to Vision. "...his mind."
"How do we know she's not lying?" Barton asked.
"She is not." Harry replied.
"But how do we know?" Bruce asked. "We can't trust her."
"Then trust me," Harry replied. "because I trust her, at least enough to help take out Ultron."
"Why?" Natasha asked.
"Because she saw the memory of my world being destroyed and I believe her when she says she doesn't want to experience it happening to another world." Harry answered, everyone glanced between him and Wanda. A silent conversation seemed to pass between everyone.
"Fine," Steve said eventually. "if you trust them then so do we."
"Thanks." Harry said before he turned to Vision. "I want you to know that if you're lying and are actually on Ultron's side, then I don't care what you are made of or what is in your head, I will end you."
"I believe you." Vision replied. in a soft voice. "I don't want to kill Ultron, truly. He's unique, and he's in pain. But that pain will roll over the Earth. So he must be destroyed, every form he's built, every trace of his presence on the 'net. We have to act now, and not one of us can do it without the others. Maybe I am a monster... I don't think I would know if I were one. I'm not what you are, and not what you intended. So there may be no way to make you trust me..." Vision turned to Thor and held out Mjolnir "...But we need to go." He said.
Everyone looked at Vision in shock, finding it hard to believe that he lifted the hammer, Thor absently took his hammer back before Vision walked off.
"Well...well done." Thor said as he tapped Tony on the shoulder before walking off.
"That doesn't count right?" Harry frowned.
Omake 1 :
"Nice wand." Dr Strange scoffed.
"Nice gloves, did you finish washing some dishes?" Harry asked as he raised an eyebrow. Dr Strange frowns and looks down at his yellow gloves.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Yes."
Omake 2:
"Hey," Loki said just as he handed Harry a book. "here you go."
"What is this?" Harry asked.
"Just a present to make up for our past battles." Loki grinned. Harry frowned and looked at the book which was labelled 'your worst memories'.
Half an hour later Thor was looking down on Loki who had a black eye, a bleeding lip and was near unconscious.
"Worth it." Loki breathed out.
Omake 3:
"Harry, no." Steve said.
"Harry yes." Harry replied.
...
"Harry, no." Hill said
"Harry, yes." Harry replied.
...
"Harry, yes." Natasha said.
"Harry, y...y...oh...Oh I like you." Harry smiled.
