Harry woke up after about an hour of sleep and opened his eyes seeing a pair of purple eyes staring back at him. He gasped and backed up into the mattress as much as he could. Right in front of him was a girl who seemed about a year younger than himself with purple shoulder length hair. She was a bit taller than himself and was staring at him curiously. "Uh… can I help you?" he asked her. The girl turned and ran out of the room. "Wait!" He got out of the bed and found himself in a small quaint apartment. "Who's apartment is this?" As much as he wanted to chase after the unusual girl, his curiosity brought his attention to his surroundings. He moved to a picture frame and saw it was a picture of Cindy wearing a graduation robe with a man and woman right behind her. He smiled as he saw a smile on the face of the normally serious woman. "This must be Cindy's apartment. But why am I here?"

The sound of fading footsteps brought his attention back to the mysterious girl who had woken him up and he left the apartment. He noticed her down a hall lined with doors and followed after her. "Wait up!" He ran after her and started gasping as he made it down the hall. "Damn you, Vernon. I'd be able to run longer if you hadn't been a bastard." He rounded a corner and saw the girl waiting at an intersection before heading down another hall. "Bollocks. More running." He heard a humming and found a security camera watching him above him. He focused on its hum and saw himself from a downward angle. "Whoa… am I seeing through the camera?" Deciding to test it out, he focused on a camera further down the hall and saw another angle of the hallway from its point of view. "Cool." He cycled through the camera feeds and found the girl looking down a hallway, waiting for him. "I can't keep running after her. I'm not fit enough for constant running." Harry heard another hum from the camera and looked at it again. Suddenly the humming intensified, and a spark of electricity arced to his hand.

He held out his hand to the camera and found himself pulled towards it. He found himself in a dark space with lines of code and was ejected through a bright window and landed on his back behind the girl. Harry's groans of pain caused her to jump and turned towards him. He stood up unsteadily, trying to massage his back. "How did I do that?" He looked back up at the camera as Sam Apparated next to him with a pop, startling Harry and trip over his feet, landing on his backside. "Don't do that!"

"Stop breaking my equipment and I will. What did you do to the camera's anyway? They stopped working."

"I jumped."

"You jumped?"

"Yes."

"Harry, stop bullshitting."

"I'm not! Watch!" He looked up to the camera and saw its feed, switched to another camera and held up his hand. The same pull happened and this time he landed on his feet behind Sam and the girl. "See?!" Sam turned around, startled and the girl looked at him amazed.

"Ok… you jumped…" The girl started speaking in Japanese and grabbed his hand, dragging him towards a room, Sam following them, dumbly. She brought them to an elevator and jumped to press a button. "Oh right. Harry, this is Sakura Akagi. She's the niece of a partner company's owner, Danzo Akagi. He owns Akagi Industries in Japan. Sakura smiled at him and Harry smiled back, kindly. She dragged Harry to a meeting room where Isabel and Cindy were speaking with a man and woman. They turned to the door and smiled.

"There's Sakura," said Isabel. "And it looks like she's met my new protégé, Harry." Sakura ran to her uncle and started speaking quickly. Isabel listened to her before turning to Harry. "Cool trick? She talking about your magic?"

"Sort of."

"Boss, you gotta see this," said Sam. She pointed to a security camera above Cindy. "Stand back from that, Cindy. Harry. Go out into the hall." Harry nodded and went into the hall. "Wait for my signal!"

"Got it," sounded Harry from the hall.

"What are we going to see this time," asked Isabel, standing next to Sam, curious.

"Wait and see. Ready Harry?!"

"Yeah," he called back, seeing the view of the camera in the meeting room.

"3,2,1," she started the siren on her radio for a second to signal Harry, making everyone in the room cover their ears, as Harry jumped using the camera. Isabel watched as a flash of electricity brought Harry through the camera and into the room. Harry stumbled as he tried to keep his balance. Sakura beamed as the others stared, stupefied.

"How did he do that," asked Danzo Akagi. He was a man in his early thirties with greying hair and dark purple eyes. His wife had long black hair and dark brown eyes.

"Harry's magical, and his magic is very unique. It actually works with technology. He can see a blueprint and duplicate the design, modify and improve it, or create a new design of his own make."

"And apparently he can teleport himself through cameras," said Cindy as she looked at the camera to see if it was damaged at all. "Wonder if it's only cameras he can do that trick with."

"One way to find out," said Harry.

"You're not trying it until we know the full extant of your magic, Harry," said Cindy, turning to him quickly. Isabel smirked inwardly. 'Hasn't even adopted him yet and already treating him like a son. Zed's suggestion seems like it will be a good one.'

"Surely he will be fine, Ms. MacGrath," said Danzo. "I would like to see more of this 'techno-magic' for myself." Cindy turned to him.

"Mr. Akagi, we've only just learned he could do this today. We don't know what exactly is going on. We don't know what this could do to him. We don't even know how he can do these things."

"We'll take precautions," said Isabel. "We know he can do things we've never even imagined anyone doing, we just need to think this out and see what we can do to limit the potential dangers." She looked at the camera. "These are networked together, right Sam?"

"Yeah, the whole system is linked to the main security office on the ground floor."

"Then it's safe to assume that he can travel through connected devices. He may even be able to jump wirelessly."

"But we won't test that out, right," asked Cindy.

"Calm down. Until we have a sight we can test his jump limits at, we'll stick to inside the building, on the closed camera network. Which means we can monitor where he goes based on the feeds."

"Well," said Sam. "At least where the feed cuts out. When Harry jumps, it shorts out the camera for a second, leaving that camera blind as it resets."

"Just for a second? Good to know. Hey Cindy, didn't your brother have a friend who was good with tech?"

"Oh please don't make me call him. We're not speaking right now."

"Suck it up. I've been trying to hire them for a while, and while I'm good with tech, and Harry is almost as good…"

"I'm better and you know it."

"… your brother's friend is a fucking genius."

"Language," warned Cindy, pointing at Harry and Sakura. "And fine. I'll see if I can get ahold of him. I just need to ask my parents where he's living right now."

"Thank you. And until we can get ahold of them, we'll hold off on the tests."

"Thank you."

"Oh, before I forget," said Harry, turning to Cindy. "Why did I wake up in your apartment, Cindy?" Sam and Isabel smiled as Cindy went to him.

"Well, the answers simple. You need a parent, and these two can't be trusted to raise you right."

"I still resent that," said Isabel.

"Eh, she's right about me on that front," said Sam.

"So you're adopting me?" Cindy nodded. Harry smiled and hugged her, surprising her. After hesitating for a second, she hugged back. Isabel grinned before turning to Danzo.

"Sorry for the interruption, Akagi-San."

"It's not your fault," said Danzo. "If anyone can take the blame, it's Sakura. But she's not in any trouble." Sakura, not fully understanding English, smiled at Isabel who grinned back at her. "Again, my condolences for her parents. When I heard your brother and his wife were in a car crash…" Danzo held up his hand, sadly.

"My brother's death has been hard for us, but we must not dwell too carefully on the past. 'Everything we do must work towards the future.' Those are words my brother spoke often."

"Funny, I had a friend who used to say something similar." Isabel gave a melancholic smile as Sam looked downcast.

"Then your friend was very wise." Isabel nodded sadly as she pulled out a necklace and a locket. "I think young Sakura would like to visit more often, a chance for her to see what else Harry can do. And it also provides me an excuse to see if Harry can create some designs I have laying around."

"The second we figure out more of Harry's tech tricks, I'll let you know. And who knows, there might be others out there who can do what Harry does."

"Until such time as we find them," said Sam. "Harry can call himself one-of-a-kind."

"I hope I'm not," said Harry. "It'd be nice to see if anyone else can do this. I think it would be kind of lonely if I'm the only one with tech magic."

"I doubt you are," said Danzo's wife. "Allow me to introduce myself and my husband since he was too distracted to do so himself." She glanced at Danzo who sheepishly scratched the back of his head. "I am Haruka Akagi, and this is my husband, Danzo. You've already met our niece, Sakura."

"It's nice to meet you," said Harry, unsure if he should bow like he's seen in one of the few anime he was able to watch.

"If you're wondering if you need to bow," said Danzo. "Don't worry about it. For someone unused to Japanese customs, it can be confusing to understand the meaning of each bow. I'm sure Isabel can teach you at a later time."

"I will, don't worry." Sakura spoke to Harry who looked at Isabel for a translation.

"She wants to know what else you can do. Why don't you give them a demonstration?" Harry nodded and looked at a camera before jumping to the R&D department, scaring Zed and Sasha.

"What the?!" exclaimed Zed.

"Harry," asked Sasha.

"Hey guys. Sorry for scaring you."

"How did you do that?"

"It's part of my magic, apparently. I can jump through tech that's part of a connected network."

"That's incredible!" said Zed.

"I need some spare parts you may have lying around."

"Try the junk pile," said Sasha, pointing over to a pile of discarded inventions, most of them hoverboard designs. "Zed's a bit of a pack rat and doesn't through things out, even though they're a hazard and taking up space."

"You can't expect me to throw any of this away," said Zed. "We may get inspired by looking at this tech some day!"

"Harry. Take whatever you need from the pile that's still functionable. You can toss the scrap in the dumpsters behind the building."

"Is there a camera back there?"

"Yeah. Is that how you got in?"

"Yep."

"Good to know."

"Sasha…" whined Zed.

"Quiet, Babe. We need the space." Harry went to the pile of scrap and started combing through as Sasha berated her husband about his habits. Harry looked through the pile and pulled out a crystal.

"What's this?"

"Oh, that's a quartz crystal," said Zed. "Isabel uses them to power the magically enhanced technology properly."

"Why quartz?"

"Quartz has a natural trait of absorbing energy. They've been used as batteries in old No-Mag designs and work well without being shorted out in magical environments. You'll find them in more of the tech we sell to the magical communities here in America and over in Japan, where our tech is mostly sold," said Sasha. "Quartz can transform electricity. An old friend of Isabel's showed her how it can absorb magical energy as well, which gave Isabel the idea to start the company."

"Huh." As Harry examined the crystal, an idea came to mind and he started looking for specific metals.

"What are you looking for," asked Zed. Harry looked towards a computer and found text flowing through his mind.

"Aluminum, copper, anything that can conduct sound at a high rate."

"What do you have in mind," he asked as they helped him look.

"That's a surprise," said Harry with a smirk. After gathering everything he saw he needed for his idea, he turned to them. "Ok, Zed. Teleport with me or Sasha?"

"I am not Apparating," said Zed. "And I'm not going with you either. Both of those options seems uncomfortable.

"Only at first," said Sasha.

"I'll walk. Where are we heading?"

"The meeting room. That's where the others are right now. I'll see you there." Harry jumped through the camera network and went to a workshop next to the meeting room. He started sorting through the parts and figuring out how to put the parts together to work efficiently. Once he had a plan, he once again gathered the parts and brought them to the meeting room just as Zed and Sasha arrived.

"Alright," said Zed. "What exactly are you going to show us now?"

"Just watch and wait." Harry started assembling his design how he had planned it out, his eyes showing the blue digital lines. Harry didn't notice that half of the assembly he was doing was with his hands, while the other half was done magically, surprising everyone. As Harry worked, Cindy got a call on her phone and stepped into the hall.

"Hello? Oh, hi mom. I was just about to call you…"

Inside the room, Harry completed his device and grinned as Isabel's eyes flashed with recognition. "Did you…?"

"I think so. Only one way to test it out." Harry aimed his device at the camera and pressed and held a button. A high pitched sound started and made the camera spark before it came off the wall. Zed freaked as he finally put two and two together, Sasha facepalmed as she realized what Harry just did. Sam's eyebrow was twitching from Harry breaking her equipment. The Akagi's stared amazed at what Harry just did. "Yes! I give you, the first functioning Sonic Screwdriver!"

"Now you've done it," said Sasha. "You just recreated one of the most iconic pieces of tech in modern sci-fi. I'm never going to hear the end of it now."

"Kid," said Isabel. "You should patent that and use a different name. We don't want a lawsuit on our hands from the people who own the rights to the Doctor Who series."

"I'd get sued for this?"

"I think. While it's never been actually invented, the idea is one from Doctor Who and it's writers." Cindy walked back in and Isabel turned to her smiling. "Cindy! Check it out!" Cindy looked at the sonic device, almost uninterested as she was very distracted. Catching her mood, she decided to speak with her after the Akagi's had left and turned to Danzo. "Sorry for getting so off track, Akagi-San."

"It is no problem. This has been an interesting visit." He checked his watch. "I think it's time we left. I have another meeting to get to." He spoke to Sakura who nodded and went to Harry, kissing him on the cheek before heading to her aunt and uncle. Harry blushed as they Apparated away. Sam and Isabel grinned at him.

"Aww," said Isabel. "Only 7 and already has a girlfriend."

"Shut up," said Harry.

"I get the feeling you're gonna be a lady killer when you grow up, Harry," said Sam. Cindy cleared her throat.

"Leave my son alone."

"Not your son yet," said Isabel. "So teasing him is fair game."

"You're going to regret that later," said Harry.

"Maybe. But until then…" she grinned, about to make another comment until Cindy hit her head with a pile of folders from the meeting rooms table. "Ow."

"Knock it off."

"You're no fun sometimes, Cindy."

"It's not my job to be fun, Isabel. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to call my brother."

"Please and thank you." Isabel smiled as Cindy rolled her eyes and went out into the hall. "So, what made you decide to recreate the sonic screwdriver?"

"It's the ultimate multitool. It can vibrate screws out and if tuned right, at least from what I've heard from others at school, can vibrate the molecules apart, acting like a cutting torch."

"There are a few other things it can do in the show," said Zed. "Hack computers, disable Dalek eye stalk, detect and track frequencies…"

"Zed," said Harry. "That's for the show, where the Doctor needs a quick escape so it can do anything. IF Dalek's were real, maybe I could find the right frequency to disrupt their eye stalks, or maybe I could make them come off completely, something that's never been tried in the show, I'm guessing."

"But the sonic usage still applies for most of the stuff, disrupting the system of a highly advanced computerized lock, remotely detonate explosives by triggering its blasting cap, which you'd probably have to get close to… don't try that last one."

"Wouldn't want to anyways."

"disrupting electronic equipment like you did with the camera."

"Thanks for that, by the way," said Sam. "You better fix that."

"The cutting would only work on small items."

"Perfect for working on small projects that don't require the use of heavy machinery. Which is most likely what I'll work on personally," said Harry.

"You can also shatter glass."

"That would take a lower frequency, not a high one. Glass vibrates at a very low frequency you'd need to match it to shatter glass and I don't have a low frequency function, Wouldn't come in handy."

"You say that now."

Out in the hall, Cindy was on the phone with her mother. "Why is he being blamed," she asked. Isabel went out into the hall, hearing her. 'What's going on,' she mouthed. Cindy held up a finger and Isabel listened to her mother.

"Because there was footage from just before the explosion two months ago," Isabel heard Cindy's mother through the call. "The bomb that leveled a quarter of Empire City, the footage shows your brother putting it in place, opening the package and running. I haven't spoken with him yet, but I know he couldn't have done it!"

"Mom. Is he still there?"

"Yes. He was in a coma until a few days ago, apparently. Trish contacted me and let me know."

"Why didn't…"

"I don't know! I haven't been able to contact him yet. Can you try?"

"Sure Mom. I'll try."

"Thank you. Sorry to lose it there, Cindy."

"If I were in your shoes, I think I'd act the same way. Oh, that reminds me. While I've still got you, I've got some news I think you'll like to hear."

"What news?"

"I decided to adopt a child."

"More like was forced to adopt one," muttered Isabel jokingly. Cindy gripped her nose, hard, and kept speaking.

"He was in a tricky situation and I offered to adopt him."

"Are you sure you want to do this, Cindy? You've always made it clear you never wanted a child."

"I made it clear I never wanted to get pregnant, I was always open to adopting a child. Harry is a very smart and special kid. His relatives were neglectful, and he needs someone in his life who can raise him properly and give him the love and respect he deserves. I can be that person."

"How old is he?"

"He's seven. He lost his parents when he was only a year old and was sent to his aunt and uncle in England." Her mother stayed silent for a moment and Cindy increased the pressure on Isabel's nose when she saw her about to speak up.

"I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mother, Cindy."

"Thanks Mom. I gotta go, I'll let you know as soon as I get word of what's going on in Empire City."

"Alright, I love you sweetie."

"Love you too, Mom." She hung up and let go of Isabel's nose.

"OW!" said Isabel as she rubbed her nose. "Jeez! One comment and you gotta do that?!"

"You know how I feel about you listening in on my calls," she said as she dialed a number on her phone.

"Who are you calling?"

"An old friend who's seeing my brother." Harry and the others walked out into the hall as she put the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Trish? It's Cindy"

"Cindy? Why are you calling?"

"Where's my brother?"

"I don't know. Cindy, how much do you know about what's going on here?"

"Only that he's being blamed for the bomb."

"He's the one who activated it. My sister died in that explosion."

"You know him, better than anyone in our family. Do you honestly believe he could do something like this?"

"…I don't know, Cindy. I just don't know."

"Well, I need to get ahold of him. Can you give me Dunbar's number?"

"Why him?"

"Because those two are attached at the hip. Where one goes, the other follows."

"Alright." After getting the number and saying goodbye, Cindy sighed as she rubbed her temples.

"You ok," asked Harry.

"I'm fine. I'm just preparing myself for the coming headache that is Ezekiel Dunbar." Dialing the number she waited until she heard the line pick up.

"Hello?"

"Ezekiel."

"Hey, no one calls me Ezekiel except… Oh shit, Cindy?!"

"Hello, Ezekiel. I'm going to be frank, and you're not going to give me trouble. I'm looking for my brother."

"Uh… he's kinda… held up at the moment."

"Ezekiel…"

"I'll call you back, Cindy. Cole watch out!" Cindy listened as she heard a crash before Ezekiel hung up."

"If he's not dead already, I'm going to kill him."

"No you won't," said Isabel. "Not unless you can find me another genius inventor and innovator that's not a 7-year-old kid."

"Then I'll just maim him. He doesn't need his legs to invent."


Several hundred miles away, a man was being flown around a city skyline in the talons of a giant bird, scaring everyone below. "Cole watch out!" called a voice down below. The man, Cole, turned around and saw a billboard.

"Oh, come on!" The bird let go and dropped him into the billboard with a thud. With a groan, Cole stood up and glared at the bird. "You better fly away, Sparky! Next time I see you, you're barbecue!" The bird cried and flew into the clouds, lightning flashing around it. "How the hell did I end up in this situation in the first place?" He looked at footage playing on a nearby TV of him inadvertently causing an explosion that killed hundreds. "Oh right, that." Cole MacGrath freeclimbed down to street level and saw his best friend, Zeke Dunbar, running up to him.

"Cole, we got a situation."

"Other than the Reapers, and a giant lightning charged mutant bird? What else do we have to deal with?"

"You're sister called, and I hung up on her."

"Oh, great. Now she's angry with us. Way to go, Zeke."

"Sorry brother. I was trying to line up a shot on it."

"While I was still in the damn things claws?!"

"You'd have been fine! I saw you jump down a building without breaking anything!"

"Just…" Cole sighed and sat on the sidewalk. "…Call her back. Might as well deal with The Beast right now."


(Author's Notes)

Don't get mad. When thinking along the lines of how to better extend Harry's abilities with how I needed them, I had to find a way for Harry to learn how to adapt his magic for combat later in the future without him having to try and learn from pop culture or from a random No-Mag. When I thought of how I wrote his abilities, and what I had planned for the future. My thoughts kept drifting towards someone who's cannon abilities worked similarly and could be slightly altered in origin to fit the story. So yeah, this is now a crossover AU. Don't like this change? Don't read it. Just leave a review and stop reading. If you don't care, keep reading, and still leave a review. Hope Y'all keep reading as the prologue for this story is almost done and we'll move ahead to First Year. I know, four chapters for a prologue is stupid, should've just kept it as one whole chapter, but I felt it would be better this way. If you know the story behind Cole MacGrath, then good. If you don't I suggest you either play or watch gameplay of InFamous before the next chapter to get an idea of what he can do. The story type will be updated when the next chapter is uploaded. Cole's altered origins will be explained next chapter as well. It will be similar to what you're familiar with, with some changes here and there to fit the story. Until next time, y'all!
