Lady Alseroen walked out onto the set that had been recently built, all the while muttering about 'lazy good for nothing but destruction minion', before she turned to the public and said "Yesterday the 14 of November 2014 my USB was corrupted but I managed to retrieve all of the chapters of my stories including the ones that I have yet to publish. So please, I beg of you, appreciate this chapter as I almost lost it." paused to think before she remembered.
"Also here's the response to one of the reviews that I received from a guest that had a correction in it but in reality it was not a correction.
Umwhatuh: When I said that Harry's a straight A student I was referring to the American grading system, because as far as I'm aware that system goes by that the highest grade is an A whilst the lowest is an F(please if you're American and I've got it wrong let me know), what you're on about is the British Magical grading system that is, let's face it, ancient, as in from the Middle Ages, I'm going by the theory that the America Magical society grades things like their Mundane counterparts, also Harry already had planned to take a permanent sabbatical from Britain, so he decided that instead of having to take the exams twice he took them in the magical part of the American Embassy in London as at that stage he knew he was going to America but he hadn't decided whether or not he was going to work.
I sincerely hope that that clears up some of the confusion or the outright disuse of logic and imagination and no I'm not snapping at anyone." with that and having no more to say the author bowed and left the set.
Chapter V
When Harry arrived back on the bridge of SHIELDs Helicarrier, he was greeted by absolute silence, but then again that wasn't surprising as the supposedly most up to date intelligence agency in the world had just learned something that they should have already known.
Harry shook his head and sighed knowing that once they snapped out of it then he would probably have to endure SHIELDs version of the Spanish Inquisition, he mentally snorted at the idea that they would be able to get even one tiny piece of information out of him that he didn't want to reveal, and he doubted that they wanted him to be pissed off at them after what he was sure Bruce had told them about his temper.
"So..." Harry began, and then he turned to Bruce "Did I break them?" Harry continued innocently, although Bruce wasn't fooled not even a bit.
Bruce looked around humouring his friend for a bit as he was sure Harry was still pissed. "I think so; they don't seem to be moving or blinking." Bruce replied. That seemed to snap Thor out of his trance.
"You are Loki's son correct?" Thor asked.
Harry looked incredulously at his Uncle then he looked to Bruce and then back at his Uncle. "First I have to ask, but are you stupid? Or do you have short term memory loss? Because you just heard me admit the answer to the question you just asked when I was having a chat with my Father!" Harry said.
Thor's eyes had widened a bit as Harry spoke, obviously not expecting that reaction, Bruce was snickering behind his hand finding a great amount of amusement at Thor's predicament.
Bruce managed to pull himself together enough to say "Calm down Harry I'm sure he's just confirming that what he heard was true."
Harry calmed, he hated having to repeat himself but at least confirmation was better than someone stupid or someone that had short term memory loss, even if the last one was no one's fault he still hated it with a passion.
Out of nowhere Mordred's Lullaby sounded, Harry's eyes widened as that was the sound of the song that indicated that someone was trying to breach his wards, he quickly dug in his pocket for his portable holographic projector and flung it on the floor, as soon as it landed several schematics appeared, but Harry cleared them away into a folder and brought up the technological and magical protections that his house had at its disposal. If he had looked around him he would have seen a sea of shocked faces staring at him at how paranoid he was.
"Damn! How did they find my house I'm sure that no one knows where it is." Harry muttered as he looked at the protection analysis, after his wards and protections where tested for a fifth time he decided that to hell with the nice guy attitude (as he only activated the nice wards as a warning before activating the darker wards that were on his home) and activated the nastiest wards that he had on the house, he looked in the direction of his house and saw a nice light show going on in the distance. He knew that there were people dying but he didn't care, because there were some projects that he had worked on that could theoretically destroy the world and he definitely didn't want to test that theory.
Bruce was surprised that someone was stupid enough to even test his friends wards and protections that were on his house, as it was legendary the viciousness in which his friends family protected their privacy and family secrets, and no matter what people had tried in the past no one was able to succeed because the protections and wards covered every possible and impossible way of entrance and exit, the only way you could get in and out of a Potter house when it was in lock down was by the underground passages' that went all over the world but all of them ended in one huge underground house that had taken him and Harry months to even find a hint of its existence in the family journals that Harry had obtained from his family vault and it took them threatening Clint into helping them locate the house before they found it, as that house was a last resort that was only used when the family was targeted.
Fury was trying to understand what exactly the words on the holographic projection were saying so he would finally know where the last Avenger had been hiding, but that seemed impossible as he couldn't understand a word and that was saying something as he knew several languages, as if Harry had read his mind he said without looking at anything but the lightshow "Don't bother trying to decode what the words on the projection are saying as my family invented the language themselves in order to add extra security to our inventions since they tend to be destructive or they create such interest that people would kill in order to have one of their own."
Everyone looked surprised at that proclamation as they hadn't expected a language that old to survive for that long only being learned by a few people.
Once the light show had finished Harry turned back towards Fury but he looked at Steve and raised an eyebrow, obviously waiting for something. After a moment when Harry didn't get what he wanted he sighed then said "I thought you would have a lot of questions after all the time you've been in the ice you don't even know what happened to my grandfather and in his journal, if my memory serves, he mentions you and Anthony Stark a lot that I know everything that he knew about the two of you, heck he even started up SHIELD with Anthony to find you after you went MIA." Harry paused looked at Fury and said "SHIELDs still receiving funds from my family so you had better tread carefully as my family gives SHIELD around 70% of the funds that it receive."
Fury's eye had been widening as Harry spoke, he hadn't known any of that but then again the Potter family had been around for more than a couple millennia, so they had to have perfected everything that a spy needed to survive.
Thor looked at his nephew, trying to analyse the threat level he would posses in a fight but he couldn't, he looked like he couldn't hold his own but Thor was sure that when he saw his nephew fight he would be surprised, and it also wouldn't surprise him if Harry knew some Midguardian fighting techniques.
Steve just looked at his friends grandson in shock not knowing whether or not he had a heart, he probably did thought it might be locked up and berried as far as Harry could bury it without becoming heartless, he also analysed him and deduced that just like his grandfather he could hold his own in a fight but he didn't broadcast an aura that screamed 'back off', instead his aura read 'try and take me on and the result will not be pretty'.
Tony eyed the other genius, assessing him for all he was worth he had heard a lot about the kids grandfather to know that you didn't mess with the Potters and got away with it as they generally tended to have a patience that could last a life time and sometimes the grudges that they held could be a century old and they would still get back at the ones family that they had a grudge against, he also recalled that his father had mentioned that the Potters were primarily a warrior family, and that they had been involved in every war one way or another no matter where the war was, this sometimes caused the family to split as they were in agreement with one thing and that was that the survival of the family legacy was important, how the family was whittled down to only one branch was a mystery to Tony, but he would be damned if he didn't make sure that Harry survived.
Harry turned back to the holographic projection and started to play with the protections, seeing how much power the wards had left and tapping into the lay line that was beneath the house to re-power the wards. Bruce shook his head wondering how his friend could focus on one thing completely all the while blocking out the world that surrounded him.
SOMSOMSOMSOM
In the far reaches of space stood a man, a man that was called Thanos of Titan the one responsible for Loki going slightly insane, he was also responsible for the deaths of thousand beings, he had killed so many for the one he loves but he doesn't understand that without Life there can be no Death, so in reality Thanos was slowly but surely killing the one he loves with every civilization he destroyed all the while believing that what he was doing was right.
"Where is it? That is the question the others should have found it by now but they have not, every location that we thought it would be at we searched, but it was not there." Thanos muttered looking out into the stars contemplatively. "Where are you Soretal? Why do you hide?"
He stood near the window for a while longer before an underling knocked on the door and after being given permission entered.
"My Lord, Loki somehow broke the subtle mind control that we had on him, as far as we can tell the last thought that we could read was that he had to protect his son by all means necessary, we could also tell that he would betray his Father, Brother and his Mother to protect said son." The underling reported with fear evident in his voice.
Thanos hummed contemplating the information that he had obtained, he turned and faced the one that had presented the information and stared at him for a moment after he was sure the underling was telling the truth he turned back to the window and was silent for a moment longer.
"We will still go ahead with the invasion." Thanos said then he looked at the underling over his shoulder "Find a way onto that world and activate the portal."
Aft that he turned his head and looked back out the window.
