A/N: First sorry for the late release life kind of caught up with me. As well as a major case of writers block which I have happily overcome. Since it's been so long I decided to post this now instead of making everyone wait. Anyways the beta'd version will probably be up shortly.
Ok so I changed my mind about how I wanted to introduce Neo. It seems his appearance will have to wait for a later date. This chapter continues pretty much where I left off because I hadn't originally planned on ending it that way. This chapter also did not go as planned because I almost forgot Loki. Also I apologize in advance to all Loki fans he is not being bahsed the team is sort of biased in their opinions. Also I'd like to note that this story is sort of 3rd person omniscient with a focus on Harry instead of third person limited like in the books.
Okay I was looking over this as I started updating and saw some mistakes that were extremely sloppy on my part and have now corrected them. The next chapter should be out Friday. The inspiration is back! Although I seriously don't know why but this story is giving me so much trouble. It's maddening because I have all the pieces just no idea how I want to connect them. Plus I keep getting attack or rabid plot bunnies one of which refused to be left alone. So I am now dedicated to two stories my second story is Reality is Stranger Than Fiction. I'm not counting most of my previous stories as they were just half-hearted attempts that are currently under hiatus.
Thanks for all the reviews everybody and I'm so excited to say that the story now has 500+ reviewers.

"Thank you for the introduction. Now shall we please move to the dining room? Or is there anyone else I'm supposed to be mistaken for?" asked Harry.
The Avengers, Harry, and Pepper were now all settled in the dining room. Eveyone was impressed by the large spread that was laid out before them. Thor and Clint piled food on their plates and dug in immediately. The others showed a little more reservation and piled the food carefully on their plates before starting.
"Wow! This is great!" exclaimed Janet.
"Tis a great feast indeed." agreed Thor.
"Yeah it is good." said Clint
"They're right this is very good. Thank you." said Steve
"This is pretty good for British food." said Tony. Harry saw Tony flinch and he was fairly certain Pepper had stomped on his foot under the table.
"Thanks but I did have help." said Harry who was uncomfortable with all the praise.
"Who? I doubt this would be edible if Pepper helped." said Clint. Pepper glared at Clint, while Natasha who sat next to him swatted his arm.
"Err, no I thought Pepper would like a chance to relax so I had Jarvis help me." Harry told him.
"So you kicked her out of the kitchen?" asked Clint who earned a slap to the head for his remark courtesy of Natasha.
"He did not. I just had a lot of paperwork I wanted to catch up on." huffed Pepper indignantly.
"At least he was polite when he kicked you out," said Janet, "he has more manners than Tony and Clint, but I guess that's not saying much as even monkeys have better manners."
"I have manners!" insisted Clint.
"Barely." remarked Tony.
"Oh yeah look who's talking. Mister I'm so rich I don't need manners. Back me up on this Banner." retorted Clint.
"I am staying out of it." declared Bruce.
"Children behave yourselves or you won't get any dessert." said Janet.
"Hey!" cried Tony and Clint in unison.
"I am not a child." said Tony.
"Me either." said Clint.
"Is it always like this?" asked a very amused Harry.
Pepper who was heard him responded, "Not usually. This is actually pretty friendly, and we usually don't eat together anyways."
"Really? Why?" asked Harry. He had thought the group would be closer because in his experience fighting enemies tended to bring people together.
"Well the team is sort of stubborn." said Pepper weakly. She didn't really want to go into the problems the team was having lately. Ressurections, blackmail, and betrayals did not make for good dinner conversation.
"The only reason we're living together at all is because Fury ordered us to after birdbrain, Capsicle, and the pipsqueaks botched a mission." interjected Tony who had been eavesdropping on the conversation.
"You had a part in that too tin can." said Clint.
"I was busy." argued Tony.
"Oh no, there they go again." said Pepper with a sigh.
"You two bicker more than an old married couple." said Harry. His only response was a pair of indignant splutters and laughter from everyone else.
"I like you kid you've gotten the better of the incorrigible Tony Stark." Janet said with a laugh.
"Huh." commented Harry. He was sort of surprised to hear that the dark haired man had such an ordinary name but then again who was he to judge.
"What?" asked Janet.
"Nothing, well it's just I didn't expect him to have such an ordinary name." replied Harry.
"What?" asked Clint with a hint of glee in his voice.
Tony was sitting there gaping like a fish. Everyone knew Tony Stark he was an international businessman. Well he was just going to have to educate Harry on all things Stark.
"It is not an ordinary name. I am a billionaire with a large international corporation. I invented the Arc reactor and revolutionized several areas of science, I'm Iron Man, an Avenger, and I own the tower we're in right now." Tony ranted. He was offended and slightly impressed that the kid didn't seem to know or care who he was.
"What's an arc reactor? And what do you mean iron man?" asked Harry with genuine curiosity. As he watched the man, or Tony as he called himself, react he realized he'd been right. Tony did seem to thrive on attention.
"You know now that I think about it I haven't properly introduced myself either. Well actually I have introduced myself to Mr. Stark and Mr. Rogers but I don't know anybody else here." added Harry.
"Mr. Rogers?" asked Tony with a snort, "Hey capsicle why don't you visit your kingdom of imaginary friends huh? You can even wear one of your hideous sweaters."
Everyone else was trying to fight down their laughter while Rogers blushed a deep scarlet. Harry watched this with a mixture of confusion and amusement.
" is the name of a character from an old kids show." explained Pepper catching Harry's confusion. "Unfortunately it's also become one of Tony's favorite jokes. He keeps giving Steve the worst designs he can find."
Well that sounded like something the Weasley twins would pull. While it did sound amusing Harry was certain that it probably annoyed Rogers, so he resolved to avoid calling him .
"Anyways let me introduce the team. This is Henry Pym, Janet Van Dyne, Clint Barton, and Bruce Banner." said Janet motioning to each person as she named them.
"Otherwise known as pipsqueak, bugboy, birdbraink, the assasin, and the green rage monster. And capsicle." added Tony.
"It's nice to meet all of you." said Harry promptly ignoring Tony's remarks. Remembering the remarks from earlier. "So anyway who is this Loki bloke you guys were talking about?"
"Err, no one you need to worry about right now" said Janet.
"Well he probably does need to know since they might end up being roommates. Well long story short Loki is Thor's psychotic brother, but you shouldn't worry too much his magic was removed because he was a bad boy." Interjected Tony.
"My brother has been exiled by our father for his crimes on Midgard. You resemble him greatly young Potter." boomed Thor.
"Yeah except he's not some slimy sorcerer with Daddy issues." added Clint.
Harry wondered who Loki was as the everyone had made it clear that they all disliked him, except, perhaps Thor who looked slightly upset. He made a note to ask either Pepper or Jarvis who were probably his best options for getting a less biased version of the story. He watched as a new argument broke out this time between Thor and Clint. Harry silently vowed that he would hex Neo the next time the minister showed up.
