I do not own Harry Potter and Avengers, this is fan fiction.
Nick was actually happy to see them arrive on time, he was also surprised how he seem to have gotten used to his living arrangements. "Since you are both here I have a mission that is rather not to my liking but necessary. Our science team studied the blue prints of the life leach and we have found that they could in fact make something to sort of give someone the ability to heal in combat. "
Nick sat down and asked that they all be given their usual drink." I do not like the idea of using something that was initially invented to end the lives of innocent people, but if this works we might be able to save the lives of your fellow agents, and be one step closer to reviving Steve Rogers. "
Harry told him that it was insane to use something that the Red Skull invented. It could turn into a rather nightmarish situation. Natasha was enjoying her drink and looking at the two argue about it, till she decided to contribute to the discussion." Can we at least see the so called invention and the schematics? Before we decide how to proceed? "
The darn thing looked like the single most gay looking wrist watch ever. It had white wing and a halo on it and it was bright disco pink." Well aside upsetting my stomach what does this awful looking contraption do? " the only difference between the men's and the women's was the color." Well in theory it should steal life force from an enemy and use it to heal any of your injuries. At least in theory it should work. "
Harry stood up and looked at Nick Fury with a rather angry glare." You honestly expect me to wear that contraption and attack some idiot to test it? Don't you? " Nick did not even bother denying it." Yes, I do. Any problems? " Harry had only one simple request, and that was he be given the men's.
" Reaper, you can change how it looks with a spell can't you? " Natasha just had comment on that. In truth he could, but it was the principle of the thing that bothered him. Having to use something made from research made by that psycho did not sit well with him." And it would help revive Steve Rogers. "
He took the darn watch and placed it on his wrist. He did change it to look like one a hunter would wear." There happy, so who is going to be my intended victim? " Nick showed them a group of men kidnapping and transporting a group of young women." Why these slavers of course. This cartel has been kidnapping, raping and selling young University students as sex slaves. You are to rescue the women and kill the slavers. "
Natasha was smiling as she left the room and Harry was following her. They boarded their usual jet."Any reason I should know about for that smile back there?" Natasha smiled again, "I just am happy that I get to spend some more alone time with you, the fact that we are going to be killing these scum is a bonus."
True enough, the weird watches did prove to be useful after all. The scum where shot once and then the watched made some light shine on the enemy that was shot and slowly became a pile of ashes. "Guess this thing was empty." They unlocked the cage and much to her anger the girls tried to thank him in a more affectionate way she approved off.
"Reaper so help me if they even try to touch you in any intimate way, I will simply tell Fury that the hostages were dead already, and killed them myself. " this made the girls think twice in trying to sleep with the masked man." You have to forgive my wife, she can get a little violent when she gets jealous. "
The girls looked shocked when they heard she was his wife. One of them finally asked how long they had been married?" Us, that would be around ten years. Sure does fly when you are having fun, don't you think so sweety?" Natasha smiled at him. "Sure does, darling. But now that the kidnappers are dead and these hostages are safe what do you say we call the police and have them take them back to their families. We still have to pick up junior at the daycare."
The young women looked almost shocked when they heard that. They guessed it was not a lie that the masked hunk was her husband after all. The police escorted them back to the bus and they left. "That was a rather mean lie Reaper, but then again it did keep me from killing that bimbo who was hitting on you. So common Nick will want to hear about how his little damned watch worked."
The two traveled back to the helicarrier and were greeted by Fury, Hawkeye and a person he did not know why he was even there, the man whom he hated but not as much as he hated Nick Fury. The merchant of death, and seller of weapons of mass destruction, Tony Stark. He had heard the rumors of him changing his ways and being a hero. But deep down he did not believe it.
"Selling weapons, Stark or just paying a visit to see what your customers need from you? " Tony began to laugh as he saw him get out of the jet." Well, well I see life is sure getting better and better for you Reaper. Kali must be really happy for her to give you such a price. " Harry walked between him and what he was looking at." Touch and you die!"
Natasha was certainly touched by his little act of jealousy and it was not without merit. Tony Stark was not know to be one of the biggest womanizing playboy the world had ever seen for no reason. "So that Reaper has finally learned to fall in love. To answer your question I am doing a little bit of both. I am delivering my new mass production of my life watch. I hope you too liked those prototypes."
He walked over to Nick and he glared at him. "You gave the schematics of the life leach to this maniac. Are you as crazy as he is or worse?" Tony began to really laugh. "Reaper he had no choice, I am the only one that could even understand those schematics. As for the second reason Jasmine called me and asked me to deliver you some new armor."
"Jasmine would sooner kiss the cyclops before me, than ask you for a favor. " Nick looked at him directly in the eye and asked him one question." Till when are you going to hate me? What can I do to make you stop hating me and trying to get past all this old hatred? " He waited for Natasha to come near to answer.
" Simple, when you tells us the truth and the whole truth about Steve Rogers, and stop lying to me. I know full well you did not tell Jasmine the whole truth. I can feel what those people are really doing to my brother. " Nick told him it was necessary for the greater good." So you know he is trying to recreate and improve the super soldier formula by taking blood samples. I have to admit that is surprising Reaper. "
" I can do much better than that Stark. How about I tell you I can heal you completely and you would never have to be even cut open like a roasted chicken? I can, but so far I see no reason to. The shrapnel made you grow a conscience, who knows maybe one day you will learn humility. "
" This coming from the old man of desert, the bane of HYDRA and the slayer of the 5,000 mutant nazi death brigade. I don't think you such even talk about having humility. But enough memory lane and come and see the new armor I made for you. " He took off the watch and gave it back to Fury.
" The watch works just fine. It made killing the enemy rather entertaining to watch, if not a bit gruesome. I am sure you want to get the data chip from it to see the effects for yourself. " Nick had to admit, the man hated his guts, but he always was professional about his missions." Let's go and see what the fabled Iron Man has made for you. "
They walked into his quarters and saw what should be his living room, made into what looked like a sale floor showcase." New allows have made your standard gear too bulky and heavy. So I made a few hundred modifications to it. The armor can not withstand fire from a tank and antiaircraft missiles. The weight is 1/100th of the gear you are wearing and the mask has an array of scanners from structural to thermal sensors. "
" The feel of it is as soft as silk, and stronger than my own Mach four armor. This thing will make combat for you not only easier, safer but also more comfortable. I Know I said it before, but with this can anyone deny my genius intellect? " Harry just asked him one question." Maybe I should ask Pepper about that so called genius? "
" This guy, I make something to make his life easier and better, and he constantly trying to insult me. Come on, we know each other for a few years. It's not like I did anything wrong to you. Why the hostility? I truly did not want to bother you, Jasmine said that you could use some better gear, so I decided to come and see how you were and give you a few nice little gifts. "
" Maybe you are right, Tony. Maybe I am being a little hostile, but deep down I am almost dreading what kind of weapon you will invent next with the things you learned from those damnable schematics. He did tell you the Red Skull invented the thing on the schematics didn't he? "
Tony could not believe he did not notice the infamous hidden signature of that particular mad scientist." In truth I made those watches so that these guys could pull their own weight and it would give you a little extra time to pursue some non-combat related activities, I would think be able to date, but since you arrived with such a lovely red haired lady, well I see where that extra time is going to be spent. "
Tony walked over to her and took hold of her hands." I know Reaper here can be a handful sometimes, but please try to make the old guy happy. If anyone deserves it is him. " Natasha told him that she was trying to do her best in that regard. But she had to ask how close of a relationship did he have with this person named Pepper?
" No closer than with me actually, she was someone I was dating during my arms sales days, he sort of was ordered by Jasmine to eliminate my buyers, and that is how we met. If he actually finished the job and I kept my mouth shut, I would be living a much different life. "
She could not help smiling after she realized she just found out something really nice. Tony Stark actually cared about her lover, and did his best so that said man did not notice." So mind telling me why you care about his happiness? " Tony looked surprised as she asked that question.
" He is a hero that most people don't even know he exists. The worshippers of Kali sure know, but that aside they have no clue that the number of people's lives he saved or how much different the world would be without him. I think the reason he is constantly doing these dangerous missions is because he is trying to get himself killed, and I want him to find a good reason to stay alive. "
Nick thanked Stark for his work on the watches and delivering the new armor so quickly." You know me, I always deliver on time and to my clients satisfaction. " Harry decided to try his new armor, and indeed something felt a whole lot better." Well I will say this Tony, you do know how to make some comfortable armor. I can barely feel it. "
Tony decided to going, he still had to visit Jasmine." Any messages you want me to give your old boss? " Harry looked at him and smiled. Tony could not believe he was actually smiling."Sure tell Jasmine to write me sometimes, her old uncle worries about her sometimes, and to thank her for having you make this new armor for me."
Tony opened his briefcase and surprisingly enough it was his own armor. He saw as the things came on him and then without saying a word took off. "So did Harry like his new armor?" Tony smiled as he saw Pepper ask him that. "Come on, this was armor made by yours truly, of course he loved it. Which reminds me what are you doing tonight?"
She told him she was doing his yearly preparation work for his taxes, "Well get Jarvis to help you, dress in something pretty cause I am taking you to a nice dinner, dancing, you know the works."
