Plot: Behind AK Eyes Response: "There are no strings on me!" In one world, a hero fell saying those words, but, in another, a hero is born to follow a creed: there are only four rules you need to remember. Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan.
Challenge Information: DZ2's 'Behind AK Eyes' Challenge: Harry Potter/ANY XOver Universe or fandom: In one world, a hero/villain died in epic fashion and...well...that's supposed to be the end, right? Wrong-o! Don't you know? Death is only the beginning.
Rules: All affinities are welcome
Who the character reborn as Harry may be is up to you, but they MUST either be a central character in their own fandom or someone who had a role to play that ended in their destruction
As they die in one universe, 'Harry Potter' is born in another
How the reborn spirit takes this new identity and the fact they've been reborn as a helpless baby is up to you
However, they MUST concede that their new name is Harry James Potter
If the character has any skills/traits/powers/abilities, they MUST become part of 'Harry's' arsenal
NO OTHER CHARACTER FROM THE FANDOM CAN BE REBORN WITH THE MC: IT'S ONE AND DONE!
All pairings are welcome
Guidelines: Super/OP 'Harry'
Dark-Lord 'Harry'
Instead of powers, the reborn spirit had a weapon/skill that is revived in their new body as a magical power/force
The spirit's heard of Harry Potter in their universe and finds it either funny or annoying they're reborn as a hero who had such potential, but threw it all away (how is up to you)
The new-and-improved Harry chooses to side with Voldemort or make Voldemort serve him
Even though Harry is a boy, the spirit used to be a girl (imagine the madness)
The spirit names pets/allies/tools with nicknames/aliases once used by friends and/or foes of theirs from their universe
Slash
Harems
Harry/Multi
If/When 'Harry' becomes a Horcrux, instead of Tom's soul, the Horcrux-soul is that of the real Harry (how this affects the story is up to you)
Harry can shift his features to make himself look like the character-spirit who is reborn as him
Forbidden: Others from the fandom being reborn along with the spirit
Anyone actually realising Harry isn't Harry (remember, the spirit was reborn when Harry was born: the end of one life marked the start of the other)
Any powers/abilities/traits of the spirit NOT becoming part of Harry's arsenal/way of life/repertoire
The spirit choosing to keep their old name: they are Harry now, just…new and improved
Other than that, it's up to you…
Author's Note: So, here we have a real cold sort of theme that's been buzzing around amidst the madness and chaos in my mind for quite some time. And, after deciding to basically start over and go with my gut instinct whilst trying to focus on current ideas instead of constantly going ahead with whatever pops into my head, I was able to dig out this nugget and bring it to life.
So, enjoy…and, if not?
Well, as the man says: if you're out…then you're out…
(I'd say what I always say, but, by now, I just can't be bothered anymore…)

Prologue: The Fourth Rule
"There are no strings on me…"
With those oddly-appropriate, and not to mention, fated and famous last words, Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold, aka one of the craziest sons of bitches in history for ever agreeing to go along with Captain Rip Hunter's plan for justice against Vandal Savage, smiled a cold, cocky, knowing smile of victory as he watched the Oculus explode, burning up the Time Bastards – as he called them – while, sadly, as he himself had known when he'd done what he'd decided to do, taking him along with it.
The explosion ripped through the Vanishing Point like a mass tsunami of destructive energy, sending the few remaining members of the Time Masters Council fleeing into the unknown with no clue what to do next.
Meanwhile, Captain Hunter and his team, once again safely aboard the Waverider, took off, though not before silently paying tribute to the bravest member of their team, whom they decided to honour by finishing the job and eradicating Savage once and for all.
Legend
What a shame that their objectives were only half-right…
Yes, Savage was vanquished.
But as for Snart?
He wasn't quite done with Destiny…
Nor was it quite so done with him…
Legend
Warm.
Blergh…
Snart hated the warm, except for if and when he was doing what he could to ensure that Mick didn't torch everything in sight.
And yet, the warm greeted him so quickly, so suddenly and so curiously that, for a brief moment, the once-villain and Rogue Founder wondered if the Time Bastards had managed to get in one last parting shot, sending him off to Hell where a thief, a criminal, a rogue and a legend like him was, apparently, meant to go.
But he wasn't a Hero.
He was just a guy following his own creed.
Make the plan…
The warmth suddenly pulled at him.
Execute the plan…
Snart saw daylight, accompanied by a feeling of weakness, of diminutive stature and form, which left him unable to do anything but cry.
Cry and wonder what in the name of Hell was going on here.
"Congratulations, Mrs Potter; it's a beautiful baby boy!"
Wait a moment: had he just heard someone say the name…Potter?
'Oh, no…' thought Snart, as he found his strange, smaller body handed to a redheaded woman with weak, but bright, warm and loving emerald-green eyes, which looked down at him with fondness, love and no small amount of hope, before a pair of soft lips brushed over his forehead.
"Welcome to the world…Harry…James…Potter…"
Expect the plan to go off the rails…
As the redhead whispered a name to the small figure's ears, behind the bright, green eyes of the apparently newborn youth, the soul, mind and instincts of one Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold, aka the craziest son of a bitch ever, felt a low moan pass through him that never reached his tiny mouth as he remembered the fourth and final rule of his creed.
Throw away the plan…
Although whether it was Destiny that had been the one to throw away the plan, or Captain Cold himself?
That would remain to be seen…
So, the crazy begins and it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
How might Hogwarts, Destiny and a whole lot of inevitable encounters and screw-ups be made different – either for better or worse – by the guy who coined the Four Rules, doesn't take desertion too lightly and has a cold edge to him worthy of certain high-functioning sociopaths and worse, at the wheel?
