AN:I do not own Harry Potter or the Marvel Universe. They belong to their respective authors and writers.

I would like to apologize for any mistakes in advance. Please do not copy this story.

I finished this one early! Yayy… Do let me know what you think about it?

Tony connected the wires with Draco's bracelet and looked at the scanner, hoping to read the energy level that the two had told him about. He wasn't sure whether he would get something extraordinary, but the way Dorea had tried to explain everything about 'her world' and because they had been practically living in the same room for such a long time, he had begrudgingly accepted that she didn't seem as delusional as he'd first thought.

Even though neither of the two had tried to 'inform' him more about 'their world' since his meltdown, but he wasn't a genius only because he was the son of Howard Stark. No. He was more accepting than his father? Yeah… let's go with that. He was more accepting of odd things than any other scientist would be. Not to mention, he couldn't just disregard the bizarre conversations the two had all the times!

The first thing he had noticed was the two talking about wands! Wands! They had wands before it was taken from them and they were kidnapped! That's how their magic worked. If they were telling the truth, he would have to find out about wands and if he could find one for himself! Dorea had said that a muggle couldn't use magic, but meh… He would work something out if he got his hands on a magic stick!

Then there was Hogwarts – a school for wizards and witches they attended together in Scotland; Quidditch – a wizarding sport played on a broomstick and Dorea had always been a better player even though Draco had the newest and fastest broomstick; Galleon – wizarding money; Azkaban – A prison for wizarding criminals; Ministry of Magic - Government agency which would explain why she had told him that she 'kinda' worked for the British government and lastly, these two were the part of Magical Law Enforcement Squad – Wizard police, specially trained to deal with powerful criminals.

You couldn't just make this stuff up! Not until you're an author and none of them seemed like a writer to him. The way they carried themselves reminded him too much of James.

He shook himself out of his thoughts when he heard Draco calling his name and focused on the task at hand. The wires were connected and his scanner was ready. One look at Draco, who looked on the verge of having a panic attack and Tony almost rolled his eyes. If these people were so advanced, how in the world they didn't know about technology? He had to assure the man that the scanner was safe and would do him no harm before he had reluctantly agreed, but not before mumbling something about 'muggles and their torture devices'.

Now that he thought about it, Dorea seemed unbothered and she even knew a little bit about technology. Not much, mind you, but certainly more than her partner… which was why she didn't seem freaked out, or maybe it was because she wasn't being 'experimented on'. She would've been a better candidate, but somehow, the thought of asking her hadn't even crossed his mind. She didn't speak much, silently observing what they were doing from a corner most of the times or she was lost in her thoughts the other. Maybe that was because she had a family? A child, from what he gathered. He couldn't even imagine what he must be going through if he had left someone behind. A kid, no less.

But the thing was, he wasn't as close to her as he was to Draco. Well… he wouldn't say close exactly, but the man had helped make his life a little less miserable, so, buddy? Yes, that was the word. Though it was Dorea who made him understood that he shouldn't give up and she was the one who gave him food from time to time. Without Jarvis, he forgot that he needed food or sleep, but Dorea had cooked almost all their meals without a word despite the taunts she threw 'Malfoy's' way from time to time. But that seemed like a mutual thing between the two.

"Well, get on with it!" Draco snapped and again, Tony had to blink out of his thoughts.

He gave the blonde a sheepish smile, earning an exasperated sigh, while Dorea looked at the wires connected to the bracelet curiously. Observing, as usual.

He turned on the button and looked at the scanner, waiting to read the energy levels that he'd been hearing about and frowned at the negative result.

"This isn't right." He mumbled, fiddling with the wires again.

"What? What is it?" Draco asked panicked.

"It doesn't make sense. It was supposed to pick up any sound waves or energy vibrations around us, which would've told me what type of energy is it that you use for..." he pointed at the wires connected to the bracelet and added, "Only it doesn't have any radiation level. At all! Which isn't possible because quantum energy stirs in the air all the time! It surrounds the atmosphere! Maybe this machine isn't working? It has to wrong."

He was ready to pull out his hair when Dorea said, "That's because you've connected it to the bracelet which is made specifically to neutralize the energy."

Tony shook his head and stated, "…but still there should be something. It's against the laws of physics for somet…"

His words died in his throat when the girl in question moved without his notice, placed her fingers on Draco's bracelet, and it lit up like fire… a few more seconds of him gawking like a fish out of water and right in front of his eyes, the metal bracelet turned to dust. There was not even a speck left and the wires were left hanging mid-air!

And before he could process what had happened, his scanner burst into flames. He jumped back, shocked to his core at the turn of events and stared at the wrist where the bracelet should've been, blinking couple of times, just for good measures.

His mind suddenly burst with millions of questions, but he didn't know which one to ask first. Thankfully, that was taken out his hands when an equally stunned Draco asked, "How?'

"I've been trying to break the damned thing for months now. I couldn't break mine, but…" Dorea shrugged.

"You could've died!" Draco hissed angrily.

"Don't be dramatic! I wouldn't have died!" Dorea huffed.

"Always trying to show off, Potter! That little stunt drained your magic faster than it should've! You're bleeding!" Draco pointed wildly, making her frown as she wiped her nose with the dirty sleeve of her dress.

"It's nothing." She whispered with a grimace, but her words had no effect because Draco ignored them and admitted somewhat mournfully, "I can't do wandless magic."

Dorea said nothing but shrugged it off. First, he didn't understand what exactly it meant until he noticed the bracelet on her hand. Draco couldn't do 'wandless magic', which probably meant that the bracelet on her wrist won't come off as Draco's had. Meaning – she knew how to use whatever energy it was better than Draco did.

He saw Draco made her sit on the nearest cot and handed her a mug of water, which she took gratefully and gulped it all down. It was a good thing he did because Tony was still frozen, unable to understand how exactly things were working. For months he had waved the two as mad, but guess what? They weren't! And it made him feel guilty for treating her as non-existent and he gulped. Because if it all was true, then it would mean she hadn't been wrong. And apparently, she had magic!

Everything he had known was being challenged by someone he thought was delusional!

He wanted to laugh hysterically, but he didn't. It would only prove that he was the mental one.

It was probably the shock that he didn't notice the voices until the door of the cave was thrown open. Five men entered inside with their guns pointed at the three of them, pushing Yinsen as always. If he had to guess, there were more than five just outside the gate, but what none of them had anticipated was seeing Phineas. The man strolled in at a leisurely pace and a smile on his face which made him shiver.

They knew that the days were passing only because the men came from time to time to demand that they worked quicker. They hadn't been visited by Phineas for which Dorea was grateful if a little concerned. Although she never wanted to see him again, she knew it wasn't an option. And she was proved right when he stopped in front of her smiled like they were old friends. She wanted to bash his face somewhere and if she tried hard, she knew she could after months pf trying, even if it killed her, but she knew she didn't have enough energy left to deal with the 20 terrorists that came along and that would mean not getting the two others killed as well and she couldn't do it. Not when they had been doing everything in their power to go back home. Not when they were so, so close. So, she reigned in her anger and settled at glaring at the man.

Their leader, the one she had seen the first day, shoved Tony aside and moved towards the table where a couple of pages were lying. The ones which held Tony's design of the robot and bit her bottom lip to stay quiet.

She knew, him coming here now was no coincidence. They came to check the progress from time to time. But something felt off this time. Even the leader seemed angry like he couldn't wait to get done with them. Did they see Draco's bracelet vanishing? She had made sure that the cameras weren't on them when she did it, but she should've known better! Should've waited! There could be hidden cameras all around they didn't know about! What had she been thinking?

She peaked at Draco, who was staring at Phineas, utterly baffled, but had both his hands hidden behind his back. Tony was staring at the man holding his design with hard eyes and a blank face.

Phineas moved towards the burned scanner which was still hot and studied it like a piece of art. He cocked his head to the side and said as if disappointed, "I thought we had an understanding, Dorea, but you disappointed me."

She knew he wouldn't hesitate to kill them and swallowed a lump in her throat before replying, "We've been working on your machines for months. It isn't easy as we haven't seen anything like it before. They're trying everything they can…"

He tutted, cutting her off and asked softly, "You think I'm a fool?" And then he said something which sent chills down her spine. "I've been keeping an eye on you for years now. I know how you work, Miss Potter."

The tone was mocking and his eyes were shining with madness. "I'll make you regret ever trying to cross me."

His eyes never left hers, but he gave a single nod. There was a gunshot and the next thing she knew, Yinsen collapsed on the floor. There was a wound right between his eyes, which were staring glassily at the ceiling and it took her a moment to register that he was dead. He had been killed for what? Just to prove a point?

She could feel Draco's body tense beside her, while Tony had gone pale.

She tore her eyes away from the man lying on the floor and managed to croak out, "Why? He didn't do anything."

"We didn't need him anymore." Phineas shrugged. "You need initiative? I thought I should give you one."

Dorea was left stunned and maybe she was feeling out of sorts because another shot rang in the cave and beside her, Draco collapsed. There was nothing but ringing in her ears and a loud gasp escaped her. There was a gaping hole in his stomach that was quickly filling with blood as it gushed out. She felt like crying and didn't notice a few stray tears that escaped her. Her lower lip trembled and she bit it to keep herself from screaming. Draco wanted to leave this place. He wanted to be a better father to his son that Lucius had been to him. He had been so excited when he'd told her about Astoria's pregnancy and this man had taken all of that from him. It was his fault. She felt an uncontrollable rage, she hadn't felt since Sirius was killed.

She clenched her fists and glared at Phineas. Her anger must've been visible in her eyes because his smile fell and even the men behind him tensed and pointed their guns at her. With her anger, the magic that had been simmering inside her for months lashed out wildly. There was a strong gust of wind and the bracelet on her fell to the floor in pieces.

Phineas stumbled back, staring at her wide-eyed and gasped, "It's not possible."

Dorea's lips thinned even further and she raised both her palms in the air. She didn't look away from Phineas, but said with steel in her voice, "Tony, gather everything important and could you please lift Draco and hold him tight? We're getting out of here."

She knew leaving Tony's designs and notes here would be disastrous. She felt bad for leaving the unfinished pieces of his metal robot here, but there wasn't much she could do. It was that or they would be all dead within minutes and Draco needed immediate attention. She couldn't just let him die.

And with that, she unleashed her power.

EN: So, I couldn't get the idea out of my head and here it is! It will have 5-6 chapters, one of which is almost finished.

Positive Criticism is always appreciated unless it is rude or insulting. Have a nice day everyone.
