whitecollarblackwolf – Thanks.
thewolf74 – Thanks. I KNOOOW! I will!
kristy21 – Thank you Kristy.
Dark Serpent Cat – Thank you… 1) Great suggestion, thanks for the tip and I will rework the pairings. But yes! 2) I'm not sure if they'll have creature inheritance. Do they HAVE the time turner in the DoM? You'll have to PM me and tell me more in detail about the sand/cuts and blood. Sounds interesting.
buterflypuss – Thanks.
xXxOtAkU-444xXx – Thank you.
Guest – Thank you.
Merlenyn – Yes they will and I looove it! I don't know right now where Loki. I'm hoping to have a clear idea by the end of this chapter and dive into that in Ch.8. Or course he's plotting something to get Harry away! … In regards to Loki stealing Caleb from the hospital 1) Loki doesn't know about Caleb and 2) I think Loki would be dead if he messes with Caleb, or at most half alive pushing towards dead.
Normuraccchi (Guest) – Thank you I'll try to update soon!
Universalcreature – Thank you!
JJFicFreak – Thank you! Yeah, I try NOT to specifically define Harrys pairings as dom or sub. Harry always sees his mate/partner as equal to himself and that they are in the same plane field and one is not above the other. It was interesting to see Thor let go like that, Thor has always had an ego, that he's "THE MIGHTY THOR" and he's the big guy in charge, but it's nice to see behind closed doors when it's just him and Harry being intimate yes he's a dominant force but that he CAN let go and not be in charge and be flexible to explore and experience new things. I'm sure he won't admit it to anyone, but I think deep down, just like Harry, he has a deep desire to NOT be the dominant and have someone be in charge of him since he's always had to maintain that MIGHTY THOR façade for everyone. He LOOOOVED Harry eating him out so I'm sure he'll be open and willing to learn more in the future. Also, Harry is just embracing his Kitsune powers, we'll see if the Kitsune turns out to be the dominant one or not and it just goes with that it feels in the moment of passion. But It's nice to see Thor bring his walls down and show that vulnerable side, of wanting to be dominated and wanting someone to pleasure him, at least in private. It makes him more human I think. We'll see. Thanks for your comment, I'm glad I got a chance to explain that. Hope to read more reviews from in you in the future.
Guest – Omg I knooow! lol I'm glad you like it!
***Hi guys, great reviews. Sorry I've been MIA, but my grandmother was in the hospital and I had family drama and it's just been tough. But I'm back, hope to update all my works soon during Christmas. As a Christmas gift to you I'm posting this Chapter 7 tonight, a loooong one too, and chapter 8 tomorrow! So I'll answer your reviews in chapter 9.***
LIVING AREA – AVENGER FLOOR – STARK TOWER – The elevator doors opened on the Avenger Floor, or Party Deck, where all the Avengers gathered for meetings or to simply hang out. Steve Rogers sat on the couch looking over the maps of potential locations where Loki could be. He looked up to see Harry, Bruce Banner and a young man around 30 years old step out. The young man was dressed in a baggy white sweater under and lounge grey lounge pants under a floor length black cardigan and comfortable black loafers. His wore sunglasses and his head was wrapped black turban, like many cancer patients with hair loss wear. Despite the simplicity of the outfit, it looked expensive, especially the 32 carat, radiant cut, red diamond ring that had a small family crest over the top of the gem. Steve had butterflies in his stomach, he'd never seen anyone so handsome.
"Hello Steve." greeted Harry.
"Harry." smiled Steve.
"I'd like you to meet my brother Caleb Potter." Said Harry. "Caleb, this is Captain Steven Rogers, also known as Captain America."
Steve looked at Caleb and smiled. "It's an honor to meet you Mr. Potter." He extended his hand.
Caleb smiled and shook it. "It's an honor to meet you too Captain Rogers, I've heard good things about you."
"Thank you." said Steve.
"Wow…" said Caleb, looking out the large window walls at the view of the city. He walked over.
"Would you like to see to the terrace?" asked Steve.
"Yeah." said Caleb. He followed Steve out through the automatic glass doors.
ROOFTOP TERRACE – AVENGERS TOWER – The rooftop terrace was designed in the shape of a half moon, it had precarious 1m rail-less glass balustrades. Steve stood next to Caleb. "What do you think?"
"I think it's wicked." said Caleb.
Steve grinned. "Wicked?"
"In England, it's another word for good, cool, awesome." said Caleb.
"Oh." smiled Steve. "I haven't been to England. In a long time."
"90 years?" asked Caleb.
"Try 100." said Steve. "Since I was in my early 20s when I went with my family."
"I on the other hand, this is my first time in America." Said Caleb. "I only wish I'd have arrived here under more pleasant circumstances."
"I'm sorry." said Steve. "I can't imagine what you went through."
"No, not many can." said Caleb. "But then again, something good came out of it."
"What?" asked Steve.
"Reuniting with my family, being here in this city, and this…" said Caleb. "This view…" He sighed, feeling a bit lightheaded. "I think I should sit…" Steve was immediately by his side, helping him along. They saw Hedwig swoop down and through the glass doors ahead of them. "That would be for Harry." he grinned.
LIVING AREA – AVENGER FLOOR – STARK TOWER – Caleb sat down on the couch. "Are you alright?" asked Harry.
"Yeah." said Caleb. "I feel hot and a little woozy."
Harry put his hand on Calebs forehead. "You're burning up." He said.
Steve stepped forward, and stood behind Caleb. "What does that mean?"
"Should we take him back to the hospital?" asked Bruce.
Harry took out his cel phone. "Let me make a call…" He rushed out of the room and five minutes later came back. "Dr. Bloom said that it's ok. It's a normal side effect of your transformation and your new powers, which are still unstable and settling in. As you take your potions and train hard to control your powers the fevers, which will come in waves, will diminish until you are in control. I already floo called Draco and he'll be here in an hour with your potions."
"So he will be alright?" asked Steve.
"Yes." said Harry. "He'll be back on his feet soon, little by little, he'll get there. Dr. Bloom said drinking cold beverages help cool you down." He looked at Harry. "I have to go into the office. But I'll be back in as soon as I can."
"Go on Harry." said Caleb. "I'll be fine."
Bruce stepped up. "We will stay with him." said Bruce.
Steve nodded. "You want something to drink Mr. Potter? Water? Ice Tea?"
"Ice tea please." said Caleb. Steve nodded and walked off to the large bar that had many refrigerators with beer, ice tea, soda, wine, vodka among other things.
"Thank you." said Harry. He gave Caleb a hug, got in the elevator and headed to their witch floor to use the floo.
The elevator doors opened and in walked Tony Stark, in a Mickey Mouse t shirt under a camel color leather jacket and very expensive jeans, as Steve gave Caleb a tall glass of ice tea. "Thank you." said Caleb.
"Hello children." greeted Tony.
"Tony." said Steve. "This is Mr. Potter."
Caleb looked up at Tony. "Mr. Stark" He shook Tonys hand. "Nice to meet you."
"You too Mr. Potter." said Tony. "I'm glad to see you are good and safe. Are you feeling better?"
"Not completely, but much better thank you." said Caleb.
"What happened?" asked Steve.
"We put the ID sensors around the areas where Loki was spotted." said Tony. "I'm gonna turn them on now. Jarvis…"
"Central ID sensors activated." said Jarvis.
"Who the hell is that?" asked Caleb, looking around the room.
"That's Jarvis." said Tony. "He's a natural language interface computer system used to run the tower and interface in all the Ironman armors. He also has control over all the internet systems and can find any information public private terrorist or government related we need."
"So." said Tony. "Tell me all about the Wizarding World!"
AUROR DIRECTORS OFFICE – AUROR DEPARTMENT OF NYC – KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. "Come in." Harry walked in. "Hello Harry." she smiled. "Please sit down."
"Hello Claire." said Harry, he sat down.
"How are you?" asked Claire.
"Tired, overwhelmed, relieved and happy." said Harry.
"I can only imagine." said Claire. "I admire your strength Harry. I don't know how you do it and I don't know what I would've done in your shoes."
"Honestly Claire, I don't know how I do it either." said Harry. He chuckled. "I don't want to know, because if I know I would know how to stop."
"How is Lord Potter?" asked Claire.
"Caleb was released this morning." said Harry. "He's almost fully well, he just needs time to settle into his powers, and control his powers. Until then there are side effects of the transformation caused by WICKED's experimentation, but he's started on potion treatments and tomorrow he will start training to control his new powers."
"I'm glad." said Claire. "I want to congratulate you for taking down the WICKED safe house in Maine."
"But it's not over I imagine." said Harry.
"No." said Claire. "The heads of WICKED are still out there." Harry sighed. "But it's now our business now."
"What?" asked Harry.
"We'll be taking it from here." said Claire. "I've already spoken to your sister and to Mr. Malfoy. They want to take indefinite leave to focus on your family affairs. Which I respect…" Harry nodded. "…and to continue to work with SHEILD on finding the tesseract fulltime." Harry nodded. "I want you to do the same. All your other cases have been passed to your fellow high aurors. Your only assignment is to find the tesseract."
"Yes ma'am." said Harry.
"You are to send me owls with progress reports on the mission, so we can keep monitoring the situation." said Claire. "The rest of your time is for you to enjoy and take care of your family.
"Yes ma'am." said Harry.
"Good." said Claire. She gave him an envelope. "This is a bonus for your success with the WICKED safe house in Maine…"
Harry took the envelope and opened it, inside was a check for $4 million dragots. Dragots is a dragmas the greek word for coin, they are octagonal shape coins created in the 18th century, one dragot is the equivalent of one muggle dollar. "Claire, this is a very…" He sighed. "…a very generous bonus." He put the check inside the envelope, and tucked it into the inside jacket pocket of his auror uniform.
"After the your tesseract assignment. You will have a year vacation. After that we will talk again." said Claire.
"Thank you." said Harry.
Claire got up and walked Harry to the door. "Give my best to your brother and your family."
"I will." said Harry.
Claire gave Harry and he left her office. She poured herself a cold drink and got back to work at her desk.
LIVING AREA – AVENGER FLOOR – STARK TOWER – Tony was amazed at all the stories Caleb told him. By now Natasha and Clint had arrived, met Caleb, and sat down with Steve and Bruce and Tony to listen to the stories. Hermione walked in with three lunch bags. "Lunch!" she called.
"Oh yes!" said Caleb with relief. "I'm starving." Hermione placed the bag on the table and he digged in. "A Hamburger and french fries?!" He smiled.
Tonys eyes widened. "…from Hard Times Sundaes?!" he said with hunger. Hard Times Sundaes made some of the best burgers in the city.
"Yes." said Hermione. "I thought the last thing you wanted was hospital patient food." smiled Hermione. "Plus you need substance to build up your strength."
Caleb bit into the juice burger. "Mmmm…"
"And I thought Mr. Stark would like one as well." smiled Hermione. Giving the "with him a hamburger and french fries, which Caleb loved. It was the first real food he'd eaten in a long time. "Potion time Cabe."
Caleb turned to Draco. "Great." he said sarcastically.
"And lunch time for Mr. Stark." added Hermione, placing the second lunch bag in front of Tony. "As a thank you for letting us stay here."
Tony bit into the juicy burger. "Mmm…" he moaned. "If you bring me a burger every time you want to say thank you, you can stay here forever!" He offered as Hedwig came through the window.
Hermione took the letter, giving the owl a french fry, Hedwig chirped a thank you and flew back out the window. Hermione opened the note. "It's from Harry. He's at Gringotts and will be home by seven." She looked at Tony and Caleb. "Thirsty boys?"
"Mhm…" said Caleb and Tony unanimously.
Hermione opend the third lunch bag and gave them two tall, lidded, plastic cups. "Drink up."
"What is it? asked Caleb.
"Chocolate milk shakes." said Hermione.
"I love you." said Tony. Everyone laughed.
After an hour Draco walked in. "Potions!"
"Great!" said Caleb sarcastically.
"Here, drink this mate." said Draco, giving him a vial with light blue liquid.
"What is that?" asked Steve.
"It's a cooling drought." said Draco.
"What does that do?" asked Bruce.
"It's a potion simply meant to cool down the body, which I assume will get warmer since you just ate lunch." said Draco.
"How long will it last?" asked Caleb.
"Six hours." said Draco. He gave Caleb another identical vial. "Here's an extra one just in case you need it." He handed over a pink colored potion. "This is a muscle relaxant…" Caleb drank it. Draco handed over a brown colored potion "…this is a nutrient potion…" He handed a orange colored potion. "…a vitamin potion…" and finally a purple potion. "…and a stabilizing potion." Caleb drank them before slurping up the rest of his milk shake. After that he sighed and took off his sunglasses. "How are you feeling?
"Good." said Caleb, opening his eyes. Everyone gasped at the milky red irises.
"What the fuck man?" said Clint. "Your eyes."
"Yeah." said Caleb. "I know. It's part of the transformation. I'm sorry if it makes you all uncomfortable."
"No." said Clint. "Well, just for a second. I just caught us by surprise."
"Yeah. It's cool." said Natasha. "It's weird, but cool. We've seen worse."
Caleb sighed. "Hermione. When are we to leave."
"Leave?" asked Steve, he didn't want Caleb to leave. Yes the eyes were a surprise but it made Caleb even more unique and special, especially to him, they were like glittering rubies.
"Why do you want to leave?" asked Tony.
"No." said Caleb. "But my clothes are all a the townhouse I imagine and well, you are all busy enough to now have to babysit me."
"Nonsense." said Tony. "You can stay here all you want."
Plus I think it would be best since there is a military training room which can be updated for magical training." Said Draco. "It's also convenient to have military medical labs here and a doctor like Dr. Banner and Dr. Bloom just a floo call away."
"Legolas is right." said Tony. "It's settled. You're staying."
"Thank you." said Caleb. He sighed. "I think I need to lie down. The muscle relaxants are kicking in and I wanna go with it."
"Sleep also helps." said Draco. "Come on. I'll take you" He left with Caleb.
LIVING ROOM – STARK TOWER – It was after lunch Tony was pouring a cup of coffee for Steve and himself. The elevator doors opened and Nick Fury walked in. "What news do you have for me?" asked Fury. "It's been three weeks."
"Nothing, and coffee." said Tony. "I didn't know I needed permission to get one. People need them to work you know."
"Sorry." said Fury. "This waiting is maddening."
"Which is exactly what he wants." aid Steve. "To get us on edge. Make mistakes, become unfocused." Fury sighed.
"ID sensors have confirmed Loki is still in America. There are four on all four corners of every state in the land. They are connected to every computer and camera in every street, store, mall, airport, bus plane and train stations." Tony explained. "JARVIS has connected them together; the info is loading up on the computer. The second he shows his face, we will know."
"Good." said Fury.
"I suggest you have the hellicarier ready." said Tony.
"Will do." said Fury.
The elevator doors opened and in walked Caleb, his body was perfectly sculpted and toned like the Hollywood actor Chris Evans. He wore a green Slytherin House tank top that outlined his pecs and abs, he wore charcoal sweats and sneakers. His head was wrapped charcoal turban. Steve couldn't take his eyes off him. "Ready."
"Wow." said Fury. "What's with the creepy eyes?"
"Part of the transformation." said Caleb. "What's with the one eye, cyclops."
"Grenade blast in World War II." said Fury. He offered his hand. "Colonel Nick Fury, Director of SHEILD."
"Lord Caleb Potter." said Caleb shaking Furys hand. "Count of Hexton and newborn drakon." He turned to Tony. "Coffee?"
"Freshly brewed." said Tony. "I can get it for…"
"No need Mr. Stark." said Caleb, he waved his hand, and magically prepared a cup of coffee for himself, sweet with a touch of vanilla, it the floated over to his hand. He sipped it. "It's good." He took another sip. "I'm ready to train."
Tony turned to Steve. "Captain. That's your department." Steve was still staring at Caleb. "Steve?"
Steve came back to reality. "What? Oh. Yeah." He straightened up. "Come on."
"Yes sir." said Caleb. They left in the elevator.
"I like that guy." said Fury.
TRAINING ROOM – STARK TOWER – Steve changed into his gym clothes, white tank top, brown sweats and sneakers. They ran laps around the indoor track course, he did pull ups, sit ups, push ups curls and weights. They took turns sparing each other and quietly checking each other out. Steve lightly brushed Calebs fingers several times. Caleb looked at him and he blushed. "Sorry."
"For what?" asked Caleb. He was sitting on the lateral pull down. "Touching my fingers?
"Yeah." said Steve.
"It's alright." said Caleb. "More weight."
Steve sucks in a breath, his entire being covered with sweat. "Mr. Potter, are you…"
"I insist." Said Caleb, his arms were shaking from exertion. "I find this new strength inviting."
Steve takes a deep breath and centering himself, lifts another one hundred pound weight and added it to Caleb's eight hundred pound load. "Nine hundred pounds." He locked them in place. "Ready." He stood behind Caleb sparring him. He watched every muscle of Calebs torso ripple and how the wizards tank top barely covered the chest.
"Four…" counted Caleb. Steve's thoughts snapped back into the gym. "Five…"
His sweat grew and Steve's mouth hung open with admiration. As he started reaching number ten, his eyes intensified. "…Nine…"
Steve noticed the large bulge in Calebs sweat pants, eight long inches, which made his own nine inches harden.
"…Ten." Said Caleb. He let go of the handle and sighed. "I'm done."
Steve put his hand on Calebs four head. "You're burning up."
Caleb nodded. "Time for a cooling drought." He got up, walked to the table with their water bottles and towels. He picked up the small vial and drank it. He sighed with relief. "Oh…That's better."
"I think we are done for today." Said Steve. "Tomorrow, same time."
"Showers then." said Caleb.
"What?" asked Steve.
"Do we go to the showers?" asked Caleb. "Look at us."
Steve had to admit they were both nasty sweaty and stinky from their workout. "Ok." As they walked towards the showers. He pointed to a shower. "That one has the best cold water."
Caleb smiled. "Thanks. I need it."
They stripped and Steve again had to contain his hormones, which after the super soldier transformation had multiplied by 100. He quickly got into his shower stall and turned on the hot water without looking at his training partner. The sex images he would very much like to have in the showers were good and something he'd love to have someday. As his intense sexual shower fantasy ended he started to get out, he saw Caleb by the sinks and the mirrors standing there naked looking at his baldhead and some scars which were fading. He saw pain in Calebs eyes, it was the look he got when he was short think and scrawny before the superhero serum, he knew the wizard felt ugly. If only he could tell the wizard how beautiful he was.
He felt a fire inside him, butterflies in his stomach, he'd never been so attracted to someone like this. He wanted to dive in and embrace his feelings but it wasn't how he was raised yet again, he was in a new world and in a new century that was accepting. He had a lot to think about.
WITCH FLOOR – STARK TOWER – After taking a nap Caleb put on a dark blue t shirt, lounge pants, shoes and a dark bleu turban wrapped around his head. He walked into the elevator. "Jarvis…" he called.
"Yes Sir." said Jarvis.
"Is anyone in the tower?" asked Caleb.
"Dr. Banner and Mr. Stark are in the lab." said Jarvis.
"Hmmm…" thought Caleb. "Could you please take me there?" He asked and elevator started moving up.
STARK LAB – STARK TOWER – Caleb walked into the lab and was astounded by the technology. Tony lifted his welding mask up to see who came in. "Caleb." He took it off and walked over.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you." said Caleb.
"No." said Tony. "You're not disturbing me." Bruce walked over.
"Dr. Banner." said Caleb.
"Please." said Bruce. "Call me Bruce."
"And Tony." Added Tony. "Mr. Stark makes me sound old."
"Did you have a good nap?" asked Bruce.
"Yes." said Caleb. "Captain Rogers is brutal with his training. But it was good, the weight lifting was fun."
"Speaking of training…" said Tony. Natasha walked in. "…I was wondering if you could come with me so I can test your powers with my analysis scanners so we can see how much fire power you have should we find ourselves in a fight."
"Of course." said Caleb. "Please, lead the way."
"Yes!" said Tony. He led the group to the elevator.
Caleb noticed Natasha behind him. "Hello Miss. Romanoff. Forgive me, I didn't see you."
"Natasha." corrected Natasha, shaking Calebs hand. "and it's ok. I have a habbit of doing that." She said as they got in the elevator.
"So what were you working on?" asked Caleb as they walked down the hall.
"I was plugging in the ID sensors that are tracking Loki into my suit so I don't have to just monitor them from the tower." said Tony. After passing several floors they stepped onto the military training floor. "Fury is getting relentless."
MILITARY TRAINING FLOOR – STARK TOWER – The elevator doors opened and they walked down a metal hallway and two metal double doors, on their left slid open to large training room that covered the entire floor, all the walls were metal as well. Caleb put his hand to the wall. "What metal is this?"
"Vibranium and steel alloy." said Tony. "This entire floor and doors, elevator doors included, were made with it. Given the lengths of our training, including Hulk punches and Thors electrical power zapping, we needed something literally unbreakable and it's the only stuff that was."
"Interesting." said Caleb. "So what do you have?"
Tony was so excited, he skipped to a button on the wall pressed it and several mannequin targets made of different military materials, including holograms, came up from the floor and down from the ceiling, including a large target circle, also y came down from the ceiling, it was painted in black and red, the final read being the circle in the center. "These targets are made of different materials made for the military, the hologram mannequins will measure the power level and intensity of your magic." Caleb nodded. "The target materials get more intense until the final target circle which is made of vibranium and steel."
"Ok." said Caleb.
"If you can break through that then we are in trouble." said Tony. "In the second phase Natasha, Bruce and I will also be fighting against you…"
"We will?" asked Bruce.
"I trust you doctor." said Caleb. "And I trust the Hulk as well."
Bruce smiled and he felt the Hulk appreciative of Calebs words of trust. Tony continued. "…it's mainly to see how you react to our weapons."
"I understand." said Caleb. He walked down into the large room, as Tony pressed another button, and the Avengers went to a observation deck above with military protected glass to watch, the mannequins began to move around towards Caleb in different attacking positions. As the first ones attacked he did back flips and leaps and jumps. He punched some, breaking them physically. As the targets got harder he decided to raise the bar using his heating touch, melting the targets, then as the targets got harder so did his attacks. His eyes glowed red as flaming hot fireballs lit up in his hands. He got hut by a laser canon, which burnt his shoulder, but he continued on without thinking. He threw them at the targets burning them to ashes. Finally when the target circle he put his hands together conjuring a huge fireball, his eyes glowed red with adrenaline as he threw it like a canon ball straight at the center of the target. As the fireball hit the target the room shook hard, knocking everyone down. Caleb looked up from the floor. The target was still in one peace but the center was partially cracked. He sighed getting to his feet as the lights turned back to normal and Tony came back out.
"That was amazing!" said Tony. He led the group to the target circle. "Slightly cracked, but not enough to split it. JARVIS. What's the reading on that?"
"It was recorded at 3,200 degrees fahrenheit…" said JARVIS.
"Wooow!" gasped Tony.
"Is that bad?" asked Caleb.
"Bad for the bad guys, good for us good guys." said Tony. "Because we know we can be protected from you with this stuff." He knocked on the metal. "But we know you can dent it, so precautions must be made."
"I'd like to see that target circle when I'm in dragon form." said Caleb.
"Like purple jolly Figment, large black rebellious Drogon, or huge red angry Smaug?" asked Natasha.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Natasha." said Caleb.
"Meet me in the Avengers Deck tonight and I'll teach you about muggle dragons." said Natasha.
"Hmm…" grinned Caleb. "Now that is interesting." He shook hands with Natasha. "It's a date."
"Now." said Tony. "Time for phase two…Avengers suit up. Lets show sparky here what we can do."
***Such fun! I love dhow Caleb was picking on Fury and I knew Tony would have a ball testing Calebs fire power. I love that Natasha and Caleb are gonna watch Disney, Game of Thrones and The Hobbit movies to teach him about dragons. I also love the sexual chemistry between Steve and Caleb in the gym. More is coming up next…with Loki and the attack on the hellicarrier. PLEASE REVIEW!***
