I admit it's been a while since I last wrote something but for a while I could come up with anything until this popped into my head. It's something that I had to put out there since I don't think this idea had been done before. Anyway this is just a one shot but if you want to make this into a story then you're more than welcome to. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
It was late Halloween night in Little Whinging, Surrey, England. Everyone in the town was already in bed as the night slowly moved towards the next day, well almost everyone. There was one man who was still awake and the reason why he was still awake was to do a job and that job was to kill one Vernon Dursley and his wife Petunia. This man was none other than Jonah Barton, a legendary assassin known for the brutal killings of his intended targets, who were always criminals never innocent people, as well as his code of honor along with his rules to never kill children, pregnant women, or innocent people that were in the area. Everyone in the assassin world knew about him and respected while the police and public only knew him by his moniker, the Bloodmaker because of his habit of making the area he killed in rain his victim's blood. Jonah had made sure to always stay one step ahead of the authorities and well hidden to the point no one knew who he was except for other legendary assassins like Ra's al Ghul.
Jonah's reason for killing Vernon Dursley was simple, he was hired by the company Vernon works for to kill him since they found out he was stealing money from them. They had hired Jonah to kill Vernon's entire family while making Vernon's death extremely gruesome as an example to never try and steal from them. Jonah had told them he would take the job but he wouldn't kill there son Dudley because he was just a baby and was still innocent. Jonah had a code to never kill children, pregnant women, of innocent people in the area, it was a code he lived by and followed with his heart. Vernon's employers had agreed on this knowing of Jonah's reputation as well as the threat he made to them. Jonah had spent the next few weeks following Vernon and his wife learning their schedule and routines, after he carefully observing them he decided to kill them the moment they went to sleep.
The moment the lights went out Jonah made his way through their backyard making sure he was extremely quiet and not noticed. He entered their house though the backdoor which he had tampered with earlier in the day when they were all out then slowly made his way to their room. Once there Jonah looked carefully to make sure Vernon and his wife were asleep and then went in. He had really wanted to make their deaths quick and fast but couldn't since he knew Vernon's death had to be brutal and gruesome. The reason for this was simple, this was his last job since he was going to retire after this. Jonah had been killing since he was eighteen going on for thirty years and to be honest he was tired of it. He was getting close to fifty and realized how much of his life has passed by. Never getting married let alone having time to go out with someone. He had wanted to start a family but knew how dangerous his job was and decided against it since he would value their lives the most. He had at least wanted a chance of starting a family before he died which is why he was retiring.
Jonah made his way to Vernon and Petunia's bed and once there stood over Petunia's body pulling out a gun attaching a silencer shortly after. He then shot Petunia in the head once killing her instantly and put his gun away. "Sorry but you had to die because of your husband. Just know your son will be spared and will hopefully turn into a good person with the both of you unable to raise him since I can clearly see you're just going to spoil him and let him do whatever he wants." He quietly said as he made his way to Vernon and gave out a small groan since he was going to have to lift the fat bastard out of bed for the next part.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER
After twenty minutes of lifting his target out of bed and placing him in a chair making sure to tie him up tight so he couldn't move, Jonah just stood in front of Vernon catching his breath. After a few minutes he then smacked him across the face. "Wake up Dursley!" He said.
Vernon's eyes immediately opened as he noticed the man in front of him. "Who the bloody hell are you?!" He roared out only to be smacked across the face again.
"Shut up." Jonah responded.
Vernon didn't know who the man in front of him was but he couldn't help but feel afraid for his life. Seeing that he was in his bedroom and his wife was still in bed, he tried calling out to her in hopes of waking her up so she could call for help. "Petunia, wake up!" He shouted out only for Jonah to smack him again.
"I told you to shut up." Jonah said as he then added. "Besides your wife won't be waking up since I decided to kill her before I killed you."
Vernon just gave a horrified look hearing this. "YOU KILLED MY WIFE?!" He bellowed out but before he could say more Jonah just punched him in the nose breaking it.
"Keep your mouth shut." He told him.
"Why are you here?" Vernon then asked seemingly forgetting that he had been hit each time he spoke.
Jonah just stared at Vernon in disbelief at how stupid this man is and just shook his head as he just decided to tell him why so he could get on with his job. "Very well, I'll tell you." Jonah said as he looked into Vernon's eyes. "I am here because your employer has found out about you embezzling from the company and decided to hire me to kill you and your family so an example could be made to whoever decides to steal from them in the future."
Vernon just gave a look of anger hearing this. "YOU KILLED MY WIFE AND SON?!" He roared out only for Jonah to punch him in the mouth this time.
"How many time am I gonna have to hit you?" Jonah asked as he just shook his head and looked at Vernon. "For the record your son is still alive, I don't kill innocent children. You however are not so innocent since you are on of the awful human beings I have ever seen and believe me I've seen my share of awful human beings."
Vernon turned red with rage hearing this. "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW MY WIFE AND ME ARE GOOD AND DECENT PEOPLE!" He yelled out only to be hit in the face again by Jonah.
"I have been watching you and your wife for the past few weeks, I seen the way you two act and behave. You stealing money from the company you work for as well as the ideas of your coworkers and your wife spoiling your son while spreading horrible rumors about her neighbors and her dead sister. You two are horrible people who think that they are better than everyone and that everyone else is beneath them. In fact I know your son will turn into an awful person if you continued to raise him as you were." Jonah explained as Vernon's face turned more red.
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT SAYING THAT ABOUT US! I AM A HARD WORKING MAN AND THE WAY I SEE IT I'M ENTITLED TO MORE MONEY! SO WHAT IF I STEAL IT?! THE WAY I SEE IT GRUNNINGS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR A GREAT EMPLOYEE SUCH AS MYSELF! I WAS JUST TAKING THE MONEY THAT I'VE FELT WAS OWED TO ME!" Vernon screamed out as Jonah shook his head in disbelief at how demented this man was thinking what he did was justifiable.
Jonah just pulled out a rag from his jacket pocket. "I wasted enough time listening to you." He said as he then shoved the rag into Vernon's mouth gagging and shutting him up. "It's time to do the job I was paid to do so I can finally retire. Jonah then pulled out a long thick silver knife and stabbed Vernon in the stomach. Vernon just let out a painful scream which was muffle by the rag in his mouth. Jonah just looked at Vernon and gave out a small smile. "If you think this is going to be quick and painless then you're wrong. It's going to be extremely slow and painful." Jonah replied as he pulled out another knife and stabbed him in the other side of his stomach.
Jonah then started to repeatedly stab Vernon with his knives making sure not to hit him anywhere fatal all while keeping him still alive while gushers of his blood came spitting out of him. Eventually Jonah decided it was time to end him so he took his knife and quickly stabbed Vernon in the throat then removed his blade causing blood to gush out of him as his life then ended. Jonah then sliced off the index finger of his right hand and used it to write "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THIEVES!" on the bedroom wall. Once done he then made his way downstairs to leave. Jonah decided to leave through the front door making sure he left it wide open so the Dursley's neighbors could find out what happened quickly so they could find Dudley and help him but before he could go out the door he noticed something going on outside. There was an old man with a long white beard and wearing strange clothes standing in front of the house while he looked at a cat who then morphed into an old woman who then started talking to the old man.
"What the hell?" Jonah said as he decided to listen to their conversation. Jonah listened to the old lady identified by the old man as Minerva while the old man was identified by the old woman as Albus asking if it was true that a person by the name of You-Know-Who was dead. Jonah had no idea what was going on but noticed right away how the old man told her that this person was gone, letting him know that this old man was hiding something very important. The old woman then started asking question about a boy named Harry and if it was true as well as where he was. The old man just told her that someone by the name of Hagrid was bringing him here which surprised the old woman since she said this was something to important for him to do only for the old man to tell her that he trusted Hagrid with his life. Jonah couldn't help but wonder who this Hagrid person was and why this old man thought so highly of this old man while the old woman was just cautious. The talk then shifted to the boy coming to live here which caused the old woman to highly object stating that she had been watching the Dursley calling them the worst kind of muggles ever, Jonah had no idea what a muggle was but he couldn't help but agree with her on that. The old man stated that they were Harry's last relatives and he needed to stay here since it was too dangerous for him in their world. The old woman tried objecting but stopped when the old man stated it was for the greater good that Harry stay here. Jonah couldn't help but notice the look of fire in the old woman's eyes vanish and turned into a stone cold look without any emotion, he realized that this old man was very dangerous and couldn't help but dislike him immensely.
As Jonah tried to think of what to do the sound of a motorbike backfiring was heard. He looked outside to see a motorbike in the sky slowly landing on the street. Once it was on the ground the driver who looked like a giant got off it and pulled out a basket with a baby in it. "That giant must be Hagrid." He said to himself as the old man and woman looked at the baby as the old man then asked if he had any problems. Hagrid told the old man, who he called Professor Dumbledore, that someone by the name of Sirius Black wouldn't let him take Harry and refused to let him go until he told him that Dumbledore had a plan which convinced Sirius to let him go and take his bike. Hagrid kept going on about how Dumbledore was such a great man and whatever plan he had would sure work.
"No wonder you trust him with your life, he's loyal to you to a fault and sees you as some god." Jonah then said to himself quietly as Dumbledore and the old woman Hagrid called Professor McGonagall brought Harry to the front door. Jonah just remained still and quiet as they did this and carefully listened to McGonagall ask about the scar on Harry's forehead and if he was going to have it forever only for Dumbledore to respond how some scars were useful. Jonah couldn't help but realize that there was something very off about Harry's scar by his answer. McGonagall then asked if Dumbledore was going to ring the door bell only for him to respond that he was just going to leave Harry on the doorstep with a letter instead. McGonagall began scolding Dumbledore only for him to tell her it was for the greater good getting her to stop. Eventually McGonagall and Hagrid said their good byes and left while Dumbledore told them he would leave after he set up something call blood wards.
As soon as they were gone, Jonah saw Dumbledore pull out a stick and began waving it over Harry causing him to glow. Jonah just observed and listened as Dumbledore started to tell Harry what he was doing and his plans for him, how everyone believes that he defeated some guy named Voldemort when it was actually his twin brother Charles that no one else knew about and how his parents were still alive and taking care of him. Jonah just grew sick hearing Dumbledore's plans of using him as a decoy while his brother is trained for Voldemort's return and how he plans on using him to sacrificing himself in order to help his brother as well as get rid of the piece of Voldemort's soul that was in his scar. Jonah couldn't help but realize that Dumbledore was basically trying to justify everything he was doing by telling Harry everything about his plans for him in the future and why he was leaving him here as well as why he was sealing up most of his magic leaving him with only a small amount of it to keep him alive since the Dursleys were bound to hurt him. Jonah couldn't help but want to pull his gun out and shoot the old man then and there but didn't since he didn't want Harry to see him shoot the old fuck. He just kept listening until Dumbledore stopped talking to Harry and then walked away only to disappear but not before wishing Harry good luck.
A few minutes after Dumbledore had left, Jonah came out and lowered himself so he could look at Harry. As he looked at Harry he noticed the look in his eyes as he looked at Jonah, it basically told him that Harry was aware of what happened. "I can believe what that old f-" Jonah paused realizing what he was about to say and corrected himself. "Goat did to you. Not to mention he didn't leave a blanket for you." He said as he shook his head and looked at Harry then noticed the note with him and took it placing it in his pocket. "You're probably wondering who I am. Well I'm not you're uncle if that's what you're wondering. No, I'm the guy who was hired to kill your aunt and uncle but don't worry I'm not going to hurt you. I don't hurt innocent child, the name is Jonah." Harry just looked at Jonah as he let out a sigh. "I'm not sure what exactly I should do, I mean I can't just leave you here since you'll probably wind up at an orphanage or worse a government facility where you'll be experimented on and turned into a weapon. That's no way for a child to grow up. Jonah then thought to himself for a moment and came up with an idea. "I have an idea, this happened to be my last job before I retired since I thought it was time for me to start a family. Truth be told I don't know how long it would take to meet the right woman so who knows if I would be able to get married. However you're here right now and need someone to look after you not to mention prepare you for what that old goat has in store for you since it's clear he's gonna come looking for you and won't stop until your dead. So my idea is to take you and raise you as my son. Is that okay with you?" Jonah asked. Harry just gave Jonah a small smile giving Jonah his answer. "Well I know my answer." Jonah said with a small smile as he picked up the basket he was in. "You don't need to worry, Harry. I'll take real good care of you and prepare you for what's about to come. "I'll also use some of my contacts to see if we can find someone who will help you learn magic and also get rid of the spells the old goat put on you." Jonah then said as he began walking off with Harry.
TWENTY YEARS LATER
CABIN LOCATED IN A SECLUDED FOREST SOMEWHERE IN NORTH AMERICA
It was a bright summer afternoon as Jonah decided to spend it in his living browsing the internet on his laptop. Twenty years had passed since that night he had taken Harry and decided to raise him as his son. It was rough start for him at first but he got the hang of it after calling a few of his associates for help. When he turned six Jonah had decided it was time to start teaching Harry how to defend himself as well as explain to him why he was doing this. Harry had always been a smart boy and understood what his father was doing. As time went by Jonah increased his training by calling in other assassins he knew to help teach Harry as well as getting Felix Faust to teach Harry magic since he had agreed to be Harry's teacher when Jonah had contacted Ra's al Ghul to see if he knew anyone who knew how to use magic and could remove magical curses shortly after taking Harry. Ra's knew Felix was the right person to help and contacted him right away. Needless to say Felix was speechless after Jonah told him what was going on and agreed to help remove the curses placed on Harry by Dumbledore as well as the piece of Voldemort's soul in his scar. Felix couldn't help but be very amazed at how much power Harry had and agreed to be Harry's magic teacher when he was ready to learn it. Jonah couldn't help but be proud at how fast Harry learned from his teachers.
When Harry had turned fifteen he had surprised Jonah by telling him he wanted to follow in his footsteps and become an assassin, following his rules as well as his code of honor. What surprised Jonah the most was the fact that Harry wanted to take up his moniker and become the next Bloodmaker. Jonah knew he couldn't change Harry's mind and wasn't going to try, he just explained to him the consequences his actions would have and that he would forever have blood on his hands. Harry just told him it was something he needed to do, that he needed to prepare himself for whenever Dumbledore, Voldemort, or Magical Britain came after him and by doing this he would be ready for them. Ever since Jonah took in Harry he thought it would of been wise to find out everything he could about Dumbledore, Voldemort, and the world Harry came from. He had managed to find out a lot thanks to the help of Felix Faust and Ra's al Ghul and saw how Dumbledore was directly responsible for creating Voldemort, that it was his fault he became this powerful by sitting on his ass doing nothing but plotting how he could stop him in the future. He knew who he was but refused to reveal it because it would show that he was the one who introduced him to the wizarding world, in fact he could of stopped him from forming his army just by revealing his heritage but he didn't. Jonah couldn't help but hate Dumbledore for this. Jonah just smiled at Harry and gave him his blessing knowing he would be a great assassin and a great Bloodmaker.
Years went by and Harry had become feared by people with hits placed on them as well as respected by other assassins. He was always prepared and ready for whatever was thrown at him, staying one step ahead of the authorities and especially the Justice League.
Jonah couldn't help but give a small smile thinking about Harry as he continued browsing the internet only to stop for a moment. Taking a brief look around he turned his attention back to his laptop quickly typing something as he then closed it. He then placed it next to him and stood up. "You can come out now, I know you're here." He said only for the room to remain silent, getting annoyed he then pulled out his gun and aimed it across the room firing it causing someone to cry in pain. "That was a warning shot the next one will be a head shot." Within the next few seconds people began appearing in front of Jonah, with two of them being Albus Dumbledore and Sirius Black which Jonah had recognized through the files he got. However it was one of the other people who got Jonah's attention the most, a twelve year old boy. Jonah couldn't help but scowl as he saw this seeing that Dumbledore is trying to use his code against him. Jonah then glared at Dumbledore who just gave him a kind grandfatherly look.
"Greetings, I am-" Dumbledore said only to be cut off by Jonah.
"I know who the hell you are old man! Now tell me what the hell you want!" He spat out as Dumbledore just stared into Jonah's eyes only to fall down. "You shouldn't go into my mind after all I am an assassin so it's only natural for me to want to keep my secrets well guarded." Jonah responded as Sirius helped Dumbledore back up.
"Where is Harry?" Dumbledore asked.
"You mean my son Harry? Don't know." Jonah responded with a small smile on his face.
"He is not your son! You kidnapped him from his aunt and uncle's home shortly after you murdered them!" Dumbledore yelled out.
"Hey I was paid to do a job and just finished it when you and those two others appeared. You just left him on the stoop and left after that little speech you gave to my son." Dumbledore flinched when he heard that remark as Jonah continued. "You didn't bother ringing the doorbell or trying to wake them up, you just left thinking they were alive and that they would take him in."
"Even so you had no right to take him!" Dumbledore shouted out.
"Hey I heard your plans for my son and I knew he needed all the help he could get since you were not going to help him in anyway. After all he was nothing but a pawn to you, a pawn you could use and sacrifice while you sat on your ass and did nothing like the coward you are. In fact I'm surprised you're even here, I thought you would of sent one of your little worshippers here." Jonah replied.
"It seems you have your own opinions of me but I can assure you, I only wants best for Harry." Dumbledore said.
Jonah just let out a small laugh. "Oh, I know all about you Albus Dumbledore along with your world and Tom." He said causing Dumbledore to give a shocked look.
"How do you know about Tom?" He asked.
"That's really none of your business." Jonah answered. "The main is that you had the stop him several times. In fact if you had just revealed who he was to begin with then he wouldn't have become so powerful but you didn't want people know that you were the one who introduced him to your world. After all the great Albus Dumbledore could do no wrong."
"You know nothing of me!" Dumbledore screamed out. "Now where is Harry?!"
"Like I said I don't know and even if I did I wouldn't tell you since you would drag him back to your country against his own will and force him to do your bidding."
"We only want to protect and help him." Dumbledore responded.
"He can protect himself after all he is his own man and can make his own choices." Jonah replied.
"It is for the greater good that you tell us where Harry is!" Dumbledore screamed out since this muggle was getting on his last nerve.
"Whose greater good?" Jonah just asked.
"The world's greater good." Dumbledore answered.
Jonah just let out a small chuckle hearing this. "Oh that's funny." He said.
"How is that funny?!" Sirius shouted out as he was getting disgusted with how this muggle was treating Dumbledore.
"Because there is no such thing as the world's greater good." Jonah answered as he then explained. "You see in order for something like that to exist then the whole world would have to have the same mindset. You would have to strip away everyone's free will to do that. Besides only dictators think the world's greater good exists."
"How dare you compare the great Albus Dumbledore to a dictator!" Sirius screamed out.
"Isn't that what he is?" Jonah asked in a casual tone as he then answered his own question. "All of you think that he is some kind of god or in your words the second coming of Merlin. I wonder who came up with that phrase because whoever did probably had that phrase placed in their head by him. I mean look at all of you, you're here because he said you need to be here. You only fight when he says you can. You do everything he tells you to do like you can't think on your own. If that doesn't scream dictator then I don't know what does, well maybe leader of a cult. You do drink the kool aid he dishes out."
"I had enough of your insults and slander!" Dumbledore shouted out causing several objects in the room to explode while Jonah stood still not even flinching as his laptop exploded. "You will show me the respect that I deserve and tell me what I want to know or else! Where is Harry?!" He bellowed.
"So this is the true Dumbledore." Jonah said to himself as he just shook his head. "How many times am I going to have to repeat myself. I don't know and even if I did I still wouldn't tell you. He is my son, I raised him the night you dumped him on that doorstep in the middle of the night with not even a blanket on him! All he had was a note of you telling your stupid lie of what happened that night along with the not so subtle threats that would happen if they didn't take him and the instructions for them to raise him as they see fit! So I raised him, taught him, and cared for him! I was the father he needed and that's all that matters."
"But you are not his birth father!" Dumbledore shouted out.
"Neither are you! You are not related to him yet you seem so intent on being in his life when you're nothing to him! You don't have a say in his life!" Jonah responded.
"But I do!" Sirius yelled out. "I am his godfather and I demand you return him to us!"
Jonah just turned towards Sirius. "Oh I know who you are Mr. Black and I know your connection to my son. I also you failed to perform your duties that night Tom showed up and handed him to that giant Hagrid since he told you Dumbledore had a plan all so you could get your revenge on that rat Pettigrew which ended in you being thrown into a magical prison without a trial. I have no idea what the game plan you had with this old fart and the Potters but clearly it was too fucked up to begin with to work!" He spat out as Sirius just snarled at him.
"Dumbledore is great man and his plans are flawless! Hagrid told me that Dumbledore had a plan and that was good enough for me!" He yelled out.
"Oh so it's okay for you to neglect your godfatherly duties if Dumbledore says it's okay to." Jonah replied as Dumbledore couldn't help but give a cautious look hearing this.
"Of course it is! Dumbledore is the leader of the light and the second coming of Merlin so whatever he says has to be right." Sirius responded.
"It sounds like Dumbledore should of been Harry's godfather to begin with." Jonah said.
"James had initially wanted Dumbledore to be the twins' godfather but he suggested it was better for me to be their godfather and we just agreed." Sirius replied.
"So you never wanted to be Harry's godfather to begin with did you?" Jonah then asked causing Dumbledore to give a shocked look at what was about to happen.
"Sirius stop talking!" Dumbledore shouted out only for it to be too late as Sirius answered the question.
"Of course not! I have no time for kids I only did it because of Dumbledore." The moment Sirius said that he fell to his knees in pain as he began glowing. "What's happening?!" He shouted out in pain as Jonah gave an amused look.
"Magic is punishing you for failing to neglect your duties. You just admitted you didn't want to be a godfather and only did it on Dumbledore's orders so basically you were just looking for a way to get rid of Harry and saw Hagrid as an excuse when he mentioned Dumbledore's name." Jonah answered.
"That's not what happened!" Sirius shrieked out in pain.
"That's not how I see it and it looks like Magic agrees with me as well." Jonah just said as Sirius stopped glowing.
Sirius then immediately picked himself up and pulled out his wand aiming it at Jonah. "you'll pay for that!" He shouted out expecting a spell to come out only for nothing to happen. "Why isn't my wand working?!" He then screamed out.
"Isn't it obvious? You've just been stripped of your magic since you failed to perform your godfather duties." Jonah pointed out.
Sirius just glared at Jonah furious that this muggle had tricked him into saying those things costing him his magic. "I'm going to kill you!" He screamed out as he went charging towards Jonah.
Jonah simply thrusted his palm right into Sirius's nose breaking it and quickly grabbed his left twisting it so his back was facing him. He then bent his arm back so hard that he instantly broke Sirius's arm so hard that the bone was sticking out. Seeing this Dumbledore then ordered everyone to aim their wands on Jonah however Jonah quickly noticed this and pulled out his gun as he then wrapped his arm around Sirius's neck.
"You coward, taking me hostage! You have no shame at all!" Sirius spat out only for Jonah to let out a small laugh.
"You're not a hostage, you're my shield." He said as Sirius gave a confused look. "You see the moment you lost your magic was the moment you stopped being valuable to that old goat and instantly became a disposable pawn. You're of no more use to him since it's obvious you are no longer the lord of your home and they can't use it as a base anymore."
"That's not true!" Sirius shouted out only to be shocked by Dumbledore's response.
"Everyone begin firing your spells at Mr. Barton, use all the powerful spells you know but I want him alive. Hit Sirius if you must." He said as everyone began firing at Jonah hitting Sirius in the process.
Jonah began using Sirius to absorb each spell that was fired at him causing him to scream in pain. "Oh that pain is nothing compare to what I'm about to do." Jonah stated as he then took his gun and began shooting right through Sirius five times taking out five of Dumbledore's men while still leaving Sirius alive. "You know it seems to in order to end this fight I'm gonna have to take out the leader." He replied as he then said. "But don't worry I'll end you first. It's time to make it rain blood." Jonah then put his gun away only to pull out his knife and stab it deep into Sirius's throat then quickly pulling it out causing a huge gusher of blood to gush out of his neck. Jonah then switched his knife out for his gun quickly shooting at the five bodies he had already killed making their bodies gush out blood like geysers making the room rain blood. "It's time to die old man!" He shouted out as he aimed his gun at Dumbledore firing it.
Seeing this Dumbledore quickly hid behind a nearby follower causing them to take the bullet for him. "Everyone protect me! It's for the greater good!" He cried out as his followers proceeded to protect him.
Jonah just gave a disgusted look seeing this. "You want to make this hard you old fuck then fine I'll give your soldiers a painful death!" He roared out as he quickly put his gun away pulling out two knives. Jonah then disappeared in a flash only to reappear in behind one of Dumbledore's followers quickly slashing his neck.
Dumbledore stared in shock as Jonah just disappeared again only to quickly reappear in front of two other followers stabbing his knives into their chests and pulled them down like he was gutting them then disappeared. "This is impossible! There is no way a muggle could be this fast!" He shouted out.
"That's the thing about you and your country! You underestimate those who weren't born with magic thinking that we're some kind of weak animals when in fact we're smarter than we look! When put to the test we can do anything as in my case I was one of the world's greatest assassins and still am! I didn't get this way by birth, no I trained hard pushing my body past it's limits not giving up when it got hard!" Jonah explained as he continued taking out all of Dumbledore's follower leaving only him and the twelve year old boy left.
Dumbledore just looked at the twelve year old boy as Jonah put his knives away and pulled out his gun. "Mr. Payton, you know what you must do for the greater good." He said to the boy as the boy turned towards Jonah and held his wand towards him.
"What's your name kid?" Jonah just asked as he held his gun in his hand.
"Jamie Payton." The boy answered as Jonah just gave a sigh.
"Do you know why that old bastard brought you here?" Jonah then asked only for Jamie to shake his head. "It's because I have a code, one where I don't kill kids. It's because I see them as innocent people who have yet to begin their own lives." He answered only to give another sigh. "However that doesn't mean I haven't killed children before. No I have, you see I have taken jobs were I had to kill war lords, dictators, and drug lords along with their armies but sometimes they had child soldiers in their armies. Some of them were serving these monsters against their own will while others were honored to serve their leaders. I always gave them a choice to walk away or die. Those who didn't to be there took it while the ones who did were killed. The point is that you happen to be a soldier for that old goat and I can see it in your eyes you don't want to be here. So I'm giving you a chance to walk away and live, all you have to do is drop your wand and leave. It's your chance to live so I suggest you take it."
Jamie just looked at Jonah for a second carefully considering his offer and then turned towards Dumbledore who was just giving him his signature disappointed grandfather look. "Mr. Payton, you came to me to help protect you parents and little sister from Voldemort and all I asked was that you serve the order and the greater good if you leave then I can no longer protect them. You know what you must do."
Jonah couldn't help but give a disgusted look at Dumbledore for using a child's love for his family against him and knew what was going to happen next. Jamie just turned back towards Jonah and gave him a frown. "I know what you're going to do kid and I don't blame you but you know what I have to do to right?" He asked as Jamie gave a nod and then raised his wand towards Jonah only for Jonah to shoot him in the head instantly killing him.
"I can't believe you killed poor Mr. Payton like that. He was just a young boy with his future ahead of him, you are truly dark." Dumbledore said as Jonah lowered himself towards Jamie and closed his eyes then picked himself up and stared at the old man with hatred in his eyes.
"Don't you dare blame his death on me you old bastard. You put that kid in a tough spot using the love he had for his own family against him, you brought him here hoping to use him against me because of my code of not killing children. He was nothing more than a disposable pawn for you and don't you deny it." Jonah responded as he tossed his gun to the ground and pulled out both of his knives. "You know what I don't want to hear another word out of you. I don't care what you have to say or how you found me, the only thing I want is to kill you. I was going to give you a quick death but now I'm going to make it extremely slow and painful." With that said Jonah quickly vanished.
Dumbledore began looking around for Jonah but couldn't find him due to all the blood raining into the room. "Mr. Barton, it's clear you want redemption and I can help you with that but you must first tell me where Harry is." He said only for Jonah to appear behind him slashing his back causing him to let out a painful cry as Jonah then vanished.
"You are nothing but a delusional old man who thinks he knows what's best but it's clear you do not!" Jonah screamed out as he appeared in front of Dumbledore quickly slashing the right side of his face then quickly vanished. "You're just a manipulator who loves to play god with the lives of others!" A slash then appeared on Dumbledore's chest. "You deem anyone who doesn't agree with your plans or visions dark and have them eliminated before they can get your followers to think for themselves!" Jonah then reappeared before Dumbledore stabbing him in the leg.
Dumbledore just gave out another scream of pain, he was getting very mad that this muggle was actually hurting him! Him, the leader of the light and second coming of Merlin. No to mention he had nerve to lecture him! Of course he knew what he was doing, he is the great Albus Dumbledore after all and he is never wrong. "I am trying to lead the world into the light!" He screamed out as he began firing spells from his wand in all direction in an attempt to hit Jonah.
"No you're just trying to enslave the world into your way of thinking like you're some kind of god! Well newsflash old man! You're not a god! You're just an old man who needs to be put down!" Jonah yelled out as he appeared in from of Dumbledore's spells and used his right knife to deflect the spell aiming it right back at him.
Seeing this Dumbledore quickly casted a shield stopping the spell from hitting him. As he tried to lower it he was suddenly surprised by Jonah who appeared in the air above him with his right knife out trying to stab him. Dumbledore quickly raised his shield up again but was having trouble keeping it up since Jonah was intent on breaking through it. "Can't you see I am trying to help the world!" He screamed out.
"By using my son as a pawn and killing him when he's outlived his usefulness?! I don't think so old man!" Jonah roared out as he trying to push himself further through Dumbledore's shield only for it to shatter and send Jonah flying. Luckily Jonah quickly landed on his feet only to see his right knife crumble to dust. "I loved that knife but luckily I still have one more." He said as he pulled out his left knife.
Seeing this Dumbledore couldn't help but give a shocked look. It was clear this muggle was too much for him not that he wanted to admitted. He knew he was going to die unless he got out of there but he knew Jonah was going to let him leave alive. There was only one way out. "Fawkes!" He cried out causing his phoenix to appear.
"You're not leaving here alive old man!" Jonah screamed out as he threw his left knife right towards Dumbledore.
Seeing this Dumbledore and realizing there was a chance it might hit him, Dumbledore did the only thing he could think of to save his life. He grabbed Fawkes and used him as a shield causing Jonah's knife to hit him and turn him into ash. "Sorry my old friend but it's for the greater good and after all you can be reborn from your ashes." He said.
Jonah just gave a shocked look seeing this as he didn't expect Dumbledore to use his phoenix as a shield. "Oh fuck." He said as he glanced at his gun that was on the ground and tried to make a rush towards it.
Too bad Dumbledore saw this and shot a spell at Jonah's legs causing them to break. "That will be enough of that muggle." He said as he slowly made his way to a fallen Jonah with a triumphant smirk on his face. "Now where is Harry?" He asked.
Jonah just spat at him. "Go to hell you old fuck!" He hissed only for Dumbledore to fire a spell at him making it seem like his own body was on fire. Jonah didn't let out a scream he just took the pain like it was nothing. "Try all you might old man but I won't talk." He said.
"It's clear I won't be able to get anything out of you so I might as well kill you." Dumbledore replied.
"You go ahead and do that but just know that Harry will know what you did to me and will never help you." Jonah responded.
"All Harry will know is I came here to try and find him only to be surrounded by death eaters. They had killed you along with the members of the order with me. He will know doubt want justice against Voldemort and will allow me to help guide him on the right path." Dumbledore said only for Jonah to start laughing. "Why are you laughing?" He then asked.
"You think Harry won't know you're responsible for all of this well the thing is he knows what happened. In fact he's probably watching right now." Jonah replied as Dumbledore gave a confused look.
"What are you taking about? How can Harry see what is going on?" Dumbledore asked only for Jonah to let out a groan.
"Yeah, I forgot your country is still stuck in the middle ages." He muttered out as he then explained. "I have cameras stashed all over my house. I had them installed for this type of emergency where I could alert Harry. In other words the moment you entered my house I sent Harry a message telling him to watch the cameras."
Dumbledore just gave a shocked look, there was no way that Harry could be watching him right now. "You're lying!" He spat out only for Jonah to let out a small laugh.
"Am I?" He said as he looked at a bookcase nearby and then said. "Harry I want you to call me right now." Within the next few seconds Jonah's cell phone began ringing from his pocket. Dumbledore had his wand pointed at Jonah who just looked at Dumbledore. "Don't you want to talk to him?" He asked causing Dumbledore to gesture him to answer it. Jonah pulled it out and noticed something. "He wants to video chat." He said as he then pressed the button answering it and gave the phone to Dumbledore who just stared at Harry's face.
EARLIER WITH HARRY
SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH AMERICA
Harry had just got done with the latest job which was the elimination of a local drug lord and his men. He was currently heading to a safe house his father had set up and used in the past that was nearby. As he got towards the entrance of the safe house he had noticed that the door was open, pulling out his gun he slowly made his way inside ready to eliminate the intruder is he had to. Once inside he heard noise coming from where the TV was and slowly made his way there but once there he found out the person wasn't an intruder but someone else: Rose Wilson A.K.A Ravager. Harry just gave out a groan seeing his friend crashing in his safe house without not so much as sending him a text to ask if she could use it even though she didn't have a key to it. "Damn it Rose, I almost shot!" Harry shouted out as he put his gun up.
"Yeah, but I knew you wouldn't since a good assassin always makes sure to observe before he acts." Rose replied with a smile on her face.
"Don't quote my father, I know his sayings." Harry responded as he then asked. "I'm curious how did you get in here? I mean yeah my dad told you and your dad that you were free to use his safe houses but to let him know ahead of time so he can get you the key."
"I may have taken them when Uncle Jonah wasn't looking and made copies of them before returning the originals." Rose replied in a casual tone.
Harry just shook his head, he had a feeling that his father probably knew but didn't say anything about it because he saw no harm in it. For some reason Rose had always wanted to hang out with him when she was around and to be honest he had no clue why. Ever since he became an assassin she had always been nearby him taking jobs that were close to him. Harry couldn't help but realize that he was never going to understand her. "So you have a job nearby, is that why you're here?" He asked.
"Yep." She replied making sure to pop the p.
"Well then feel free to stay until it's time for you to go." Harry replied as he then heard his phone rang and saw that it was a text from his dad. "HOUSE CAMERAS NOW!" It said. "Rose shut off the TV now." He said in a stern voice as he made his way to his laptop and opened it.
"What's going on?" She asked as she turned off the TV and made her to Harry to see what he was doing.
"Just be quiet." Harry said as images of his house appeared on his laptop. Rose just remained quiet as she saw this, she had no idea what was going on but from what she could tell it was serious. Harry just watched and listened in silence as his father confront Albus Dumbledore the man who wanted him to die. He couldn't help but feel very angry and furious at how the old man was trying to justify what he does. Rose just stared in silence and awe, she had always knew there was more to Harry than meets the eyes and her father knew about it. She had always wondered her dad was interested in training Harry when she wanted to learn from him as well she couldn't help but feel jealous of him however Harry surprised her by teaching her what her father taught her saying that it was something she should learn. To find out about Harry's past like this was shocking but it made her angry finding out how this old man wanted to use Harry like he was some kind of pawn and dispose of him. Together the both of the watch the events unfold where Jonah had managed to get Sirius stripped of his magic to Dumbledore forcing Jonah to shoot the boy he brought with him, in an effort to use his own code against him. Eventually the fight with Dumbledore and Jonah happened and just when it seemed Jonah had won it happened, Dumbledore surprised Jonah by sacrificing his phoenix in order to safe his own life. Jonah was caught off guard and caught but as soon as Jonah told Harry to call him he immediately took out his phone. "Rose stay in the corner." He said as she made her way to the corner of the room and Harry called his dad. Harry just watch in his laptop as his dad gave his phone to Dumbledore.
"Hello, Harry." Dumbledore said as he tried to introduce himself only to be cut off by Harry.
"I know who you are old man and I know what you want. Don't bother wasting your breath since I'm not going to help you since the way I see it Tom Riddle is a mess you created and let get out of control while you sat on your ass planning and sacrificing people until a prophecy ended up being said right in front of you." Harry responded.
"Harry, prophecies happen to be a very powerful thing." Dumbledore tried to explain only for Harry to cut him off again.
"Prophecies are like a coin toss, they either come up heads where they come true or tails where they don't. However there are people who try to force them to come true which is what you did by letting your little spy Severus Snape hear part of this prophecy so he could go and tell his master and then arranged for my so called parents to go into hiding using the man you knew was a spy for Tom as the secret keeper all while my so called godfather went around saying it was him. You planned for that night to happen but it didn't go the way you expected it to go since you chose the wrong baby and ever since that night you have been sitting on your ass once again doing nothing but relying on the child you thought was the true savior when you could of at least been hunting for Tom's horcurxes or at leas try to spread the truth about him."
"How do you know all of this?" Dumbledore asked furious that Harry knew all of this when he shouldn't.
"That's for me to know and you to never find out. I'm not going to fight your war because it's not my war or country, it's yours." Harry responded.
Dumbledore began thinking of a way to get Harry to let him guide him when an idea hit him. "Harry, it's clear that you care about your father. I can guarantee his safety after all what son does not care for his father." Dumbledore said giving his disappointed grandfather face.
Harry just stared at Dumbledore for a brief moment as he then answered. "What are you talking about my father is dead, you killed him." He replied.
"I can assure you he is still alive." Dumbledore responded.
"But not for much longer what you don't know is that my dad carries three knives, he would only use the third one if he had sorely underestimated his opponent and was about to be taken hostage." Harry said causing Dumbledore to quickly turn around only to see Jonah holding a knife right in front of his chest.
Jonah just looked at a camera located in the ceiling. "Harry, I just want you to know that I'm proud to have been your father and you were the best son I could ever ask for. Keeping living your life the way you want to and be the man you want to be. You know what to do." He said as he quickly plunged his knife into his heart killing him instantly.
"Yes I do, Dad." Harry said as he looked at Dumbledore. "You have five seconds to get out of there before the place blows up." Harry then pressed a button causing a nearby wall to explode revealing a timer with five seconds on it. Realizing what was about to happen Dumbledore quickly grabbed Fawkes who was already reborn and left. Harry just looked at his father's body until the cameras cut to static.
Rose just stood in the corner with a shocked look on her face. Jonah was dead and Harry had watched it all happen. Now he was just staring at his laptop screen. "Harry." She said as she slowly made her way to him only for him to stop her.
"Can you please leave the room?" He asked.
"Okay." Rose said with a nod as she then left the room. Once out of the room she quickly pulled out her phone and called the one person who would probably know what to do: her dad Slade Wilson A.K.A Deathstroke.
"What do you Rose?" Deathstroke asked as he answered his phone.
Rose had wanted to snap at him for the way he sounded but she knew this was more important. "Jonah's dead." She answered, she could of sworn she could hear the sound of surprise coming from her father.
"What happened?" He then asked as Rose went on to explain what happened. "So that old bastard actually managed to find Jonah and got the better of him just by a small chance." He said as he then asked. "I take it you have a job in the area you are at right?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Did you complete it yet?"
"No not yet." Rose answered.
"Just give me the details on it, I'll complete it for you. You just stay with Harry until I get there." Deathstroke said surprising his daughter.
"Yes, Dad." Rose said as she proceeded to tell her dad who her target was and then hung up to go check on Harry.
FIVE DAYS LATER
It happened to be a gloomy day as assassins from around the world got word about the original Bloodmaker's death. Almost all the high ranking and infamous assassins were there, those who attended were there to pay their respects to this great man since many of them had respected him. While his body was not there they were able to pay their respects to a photo of him that was there. As everyone was gathered there, Harry had made his way to a podium that was set up, to be honest he was a bit upset but thanks to Rose and her father they had helped him through it.
Once at the podium, Harry began his speech. "Many of you have heard of my father and known about him as one of the most legendary assassins ever. He was known for his gruesome skills as well as his code. I wish I could tell you about his past and why he became an assassin but he never told me however I like to think that his code had something to do with his origins. While it's true that he retired twenty years ago his legend and code still holds today. Now I figure that all of you are probably wondering how he died well the fact is he was killed and in a way it was my fault." The assassins there just remained silent as Harry explained further. "You see he was killed by a man looking for me, I'm not going to get into much of the details for now but I spit out the main parts. On his last job my father came across me and a plan some people had for me, he saw that I really didn't have a chance not to mention he had just murdered the people who were suppose to take care of me so he decided right then and there to raise me as his son in order for me to have a fighting chance. As the years went by he was always straight forward with me explaining about what he did along with how he found me, it was something that I always admired about him. He trained me to defend myself and didn't judge me when I told him that I wanted to be the next Bloodmaker he just agreed to teach me. As for the people who dumped me on a doorstep the night of my father's last job they never stopped looking for me, they had plans for me to die and were determined to make it happen but had no luck finding us until a few days ago when they found my father. My dad went up against the man who was in charge and the people he brought with him, he basically killed them all even a child that was brought along who was an unwilling child soldier who was only there for the protection of his own family. He then engaged with their leader to the point where he was winning but just by a small chance my father was caught of guard. Knowing that he could be used as a hostage and leverage he killed himself. In the end he was a father just trying to protect his son. Now I have a plan to avenge my father but I will sharing my plan with those who know the truth about me in a meeting five minutes from now. For those who wish to help me with this plan wait here until the meeting is over but for those do no then leave." Harry then left the podium.
FIVE MINUTES LATER
Harry was currently sitting at a table with Felix Faust, Ra's al Ghul, and Deathstroke along with Rose who was standing in a corner. Harry explaining who the three main targets were and what he was going to do. "So what happens to be the plan?" Ra's just asked.
"Well, we all know for a fact that Tom wants me dead because I'm a threat while Dumbledore just wants me to fight under his rules and die in the end. The ministry of Magical Britain is basically unreliable and can't think for itself so they either lean on one side or another. Their aurors are either on Dumbledore's side or Tom's side in other words Magical Britain is corrupt to the core. I made it clear to that old man that I'm not interested in fighting their war and I don't plan to. If I so much step foot in their country I'll get dragged into it which I don't want. They can go kill themselves for I care but that won't stop them from coming after me, they know I am an assassin so it's likely they'll either set up fake jobs or camp out around local jobs. We need everyone who does a job to run it through local contract holders to see if it's legit." Harry explained.
"What happens if they encounter Dumbledore's people?" Deathstroke asked.
"We take them out but we follow my father's code." Harry answered as he explained further. "If there are innocents we get them out while we take out Dumbledore's order member. If there is a pregnant woman there, you break her wand and knock her out. If there are children there you give them the choice drop their wand and walk away or die. Then there's also the chance that Tom's followers might show up and if that were to happen you eliminate them. If there' s a child in the group you check them for the Death Mark and if they have it give them a choice to drop their wand and cut off their arm the mark is on or die. After they are dealt with you will then drop a file detailing certain things about Dumbledore, Tom, or Magical Britain."
"What would be the point in that?" Rose just asked.
"Easy, that country's magical government will try to find out why Magical Britain's problem is in their country. The file they will find will detail certain things that no one knows about except the people their about." Harry answered.
"What about the Justice League?" Felix asked.
Harry just gave a sigh as he then answered. "I have no doubt they'll get involved especially if John Constantine or Zatanna show up. Luckily I think their a few league members who know about my father and may respect him so they'll explain to the league that this is justice for my father not that it will do any good. If they happen to show up try to eliminate them as much as you can and escape if it becomes too much."
"What's your endgame?" Ra's then asked.
"Easy, I want both the mundane and magical governments to get fed up of Magical Britain's war spreading into the rest of the world and decide to box them up where it can't spread anymore." Harry answered as Ra's gave a small smile.
"You want to turn Magical Britain into a no man's land." He said.
"Exactly. There's no saving that country so might as well let them kill each other off since they won't get out. I know if we follow my plan it can work especially since Tom and Dumbledore would send others to do their work instead of going themselves. I think it would be a perfect justice for my father." Harry explained as he then asked. "Any questions?"
"Yeah, I got one." Deathstroke said as he then asked. "Why is Faust here? He isn't an assassin."
"He's here because he was my teacher in magic and happens to know a lot of the wizarding world so his knowledge would be useful to us." Harry answered. "Now any others?" Harry then asked only to see no one did. Seeing this he then turned to Rose. "Rose how many people are still out there?" He then asked.
Rose peeked outside for a moment and then turned towards Harry. "It looks like everyone is still here. I don't think anyone left." She replied as a small smile formed on Harry's face.
"Good, let's go explain the plan to them." He said as he exited the room with the others knowing his plan would succeed in the end.
THE END
Well thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed it. If you want to make this into a story you're more than welcome to. The only thing I ask is if you decide to pair Harry with someone it isn't slash. I look forward to reading if you decide to make this into a story. Again thank you for reading.
