Chapter 13

AN - I am so sorry that this chapter took me so long, I was having real issues with were this chapter was going. Only a few more chapters until we get down to the undercover work! I want to thank all the lovely people who have reviewed and followed and all that nice stuff, so thank you so much. Here's the next chapter everyone and as usual none of this belongs to me it is all JK Rowlings and Marvels :( Enjoy everyone! :)

As they made their way toward the canteen they talked quietly about the alias that Harry would be going under as, allowing Steve to become better acquainted with the alias, "I am uncertain about one thing though, what exactly is my role in this?"

Harry nodded understanding the uncertainty of the role a celebrity hero would take in the undercover op like this, "As I am undercover, there must be a leader who I can trust to make strategic choices, and who knows the team better than the leader. You know all of your team's strengths and weaknesses, meaning you can choose the best person to assist me should I need aid while undercover."

Steve turned to the younger man, uncertain as to why he would trust him so much, Harry realising the Captains caution continued, "I know that you have just voiced many concerns and difficulties about working with me, but you are not the first. The meeting we just had is a very standard thing when working with other agencies." Steve was so focused on Harry as he spoke he didn't see the runner nearly crashing into him, had Harry not grabbed him by the upper arm and dragged him out of the way of being run over. Chuckling Harry continued walking muttering, "Idiot runners, never looking where they're going!"

As they entered the canteen they made their way over to the hot plate and picked up a tray and quickly consumed the meal before collaring a nearby runner, Harry asked "Do you know where the Avengers are?" After being told they were in the briefing room they began to make their way, quietly discussing the finer points of each of the members of the Avengers. Coming up to the familiar oak doors the two men entered, exchanging pleasantries with the people already gathered they took their seats.

"Okay, so how far have we got?" Harry said looking directly at Sophia, nodding to her for an answer.

"We have finished familiarizing ourselves with the alias but have yet to look at the actual plan for when you go under Harry." She quickly rattled of the report with ease, Harry nodded to her then turned back to the rest of the team. Drawing out a file he opened it to the first page, skimming through the page he finished the briefing.

"Okay so Baclovitch has paid for a three week stay at the Jumeirah Pera Palace Hotel in the Presidential Suite, the plan is for me to arrive in two days' time for an indefinite stay due to a large business deal with the Turkish Military. It's all legit of course but it allows me the resources to strike up a deal of the illegal nature with the man. Therefore catching him in the act of illegal weapons trade." Harry said finally looking up to the rest of the team, "So any questions?"

It was Bruce who spoke up first "Yeah uhh… what do you need us for?"

Harry smiled, "I need you because I need detailed information on a scientific basis. I need you to process all the intel I get while I'm under and feed it back to me in a language I can understand." He nodded to the man in question, who in turn nodded their acceptance of the role while Harry was undercover. Harry then continued to Natasha, "I need the Black Widow here to theorize with her because she knows the world that I'm going to be working in, Tony I need you because I may want to add little flare while I'm under and having a large company like Stark Industries on my resume will only bolster my reputation within the parties" Harry smiled slightly at Tony, finding a small piece of humor at Tony's irritation.

"What? So I'm only here to make you look good."

Harry gave a small chuckle, "Yeah but if it makes you feel any better, your unlikely to get injured. Meaning your wife will be very pleased with you when you get home." Tony and Clint shared a knowing smiled at one another before turning back to Harry with an abnormally blank face.

"Anyway, moving swiftly on…" Harry said trying to divert the conversation.

Clint laughed, "What? Not the direction of the conversation you were hoping… son." Clint smiled at Harry, only causing the younger man to glower at his father before continuing.

"Steve is here because he knows everything you guys can do and I need him to keep everyone in line and working while I am gone, but we have already discussed his role prior to this discussion." Harry nodded to Steve before turning to Clint "and you are here because as much as I hate to admit it, I may need him to assist me when I'm undercover. Because he is rather good at passing unnoticed." Harry shrugged his shoulders in defeat as Clint smirked at him.

Sighing Harry stood and made his way to the door, "Okay so let's head out and deflate a bit. Loosen up, have a relaxing evening before all the hard work begins tomorrow." The team nodded and dispersed talking quietly to one another. Harry approached Clint as he was leaving, "Hey Dad you want to go down to the gym for a bit?"

Clint smiled at, "Yeah that sounds great. Are you sure that you can keep up with me young blood?" Clint smiled, glad that the easy banter they had before Harry left, had returned.

Harry gave a snort at the joke Clint had made "Dad you sure you can keep up with me? I mean I'm not 16 anymore and you're defiantly getting old." Harry gave the other man a playful shove as they made their way down the hall toward the gym.

Behind them stood the rest of the team, "This is so strange." Rowan said, looking at the pair in confusion.

Natasha however was unsure as to why it was strange, "I do not see how it is strange, Clint is like this with his younger children. Why should he be any different with Harry, surely this would be even more obvious seeing as they would have known each other for longer."

The team looked at her in surprise, Bruce nodded and made his way to the apartment, with Natasha walking just behind him. Bruce turned to look at her, "Did you know Harry very well?" Natasha looked at Bruce surprised, "You seem to have known Lewis quite well and they probably grew up around one another, that's all."

Natasha smiled realizing what he was getting at, "I knew off him. I didn't know him just after I first met Clint as we weren't that close. When I go close to Clint, Harry had just joined a prep school that took boarders and harry chose to board, apparently he was more independent than the average 8-11 year old. He went into to higher education at age 11, a school for the gifted, a boarding school. Harry was only ever home for holidays and I never stayed close to the family during holidays. So I knew of him and heard stories about him but I never got the chance to meet him."

Bruce raised an eye brow, "Gifted?" He smiled a bit at the euphemism. Natasha laughed at the joke, turning the corner to the apartment she opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind them.

"I know, I know." She waved him of, still laughing. She was glad that they could laugh together again like they used to.
