An: I own nothing; this is a Van Helsing/Harry Potter with some x-men twist to it. It was inspired by the one shot Echoes by ToTheBeatofMyOwnDrummer. Also child abuse mentioned. Also I apologize if I offend anyone with the religious aspect of the story. also this is very Au and most of the characters are OOC.

Also for anyone who has read the x-men comics Daken origins should be familiar.

Harry Van Helsing

(1903)

'Damn my luck. I don't think that I will make it out alive.' Harry thought to himself as he tried to dodge another blow from the enraged vampire. 'If only I had not botched the kill strike I would not be in this mess.'

'Harahel think damn it! You also have your wand. Think you know of some spell to help you.' Gabriel thought as he watched his son struggle with the enraged undead. He was about to intervene when he heard Harry shout a spell.

"Solis!" A small sun like ball of light shot out of the tip of Harry's wand. Gabriel had to take better cover so Harry would not know that he was watching him. This small sun caused the vampire to turn to ash right before both of their eyes.

Gabriel quickly made his way out of the cave and headed back to his mount to continue his journey to his next mission having already left a note for Harry to find in his room. While Harry slowly made his way out of the lair, to head back to the tavern he was staying in.

After his long walk back to the tavern, he was securely back in his room where he saw sitting on his bed a white object. He was so tired his brain would not come up with what the object was called. He slowly leaned down, picked up the object and placed it on the table next to his bed; once he had accomplished this, he dropped boneless on to the bed and promptly began to snore.

Harry and Akihiro were walking to their quarters at the Vatican. Harry could tell that Akihiro wanted him to continue his tale.

"So when I woke up the next morning in one piece, I was able to read the letter father has left for me."

"Oh? What did he tell you?" Akihiro asked eagerly. Harry mentally cursed their father for getting lost in his mission.

"Much the same as the one I left you after your first solo mission."

"Oh. So he was proud of you?"

"Yes, he will be proud of you as well Aki."

"How did you know he was watching you in the vampire lair?" Akihiro asked opening up the door to their rooms.

"He couldn't hide his smell, I know he watched but did nothing, he let me succeed or fail on my own. I succeed, just as you did."

"So all this leads to you finding me how?" Harry chuckled at his brother's eagerness to hear his part in the family history.

"Tomorrow, I will finish this tomorrow." Akihiro growled in frustration but agreed.

(1945)

"You must promise me that you will watch over me, if I have any cubs you take care of them as the oldest." Gabriel pleaded with Harry.

"Alright, I understand it is my duty to the family. I will take any cubs and raise them as one of us. Like I would really do anything different." Harry huffed in irritation. Gabriel smiled indulgently at his son.

"Now Harahel I do not want you to interfere with the Logan persona. We created him so that he can get a Muramasa blade from the insane weapons smith Muramasa. All of his weapons are said to be amazing, and very dangerous. We have to have one to get rid of the abomination."

"Is he really that evil? Must he be killed; he is a part of us." Harry asked pleading with is eye that they did not have to do something so horrific. Gabriel sighed, looked Harry dead in the eye.

"He has killed hundreds of people. He is a cold blooded killer, which has turned into a monster." Gabriel said as gently as he could. "We are Monster Hunters, this is what we do. We protect the innocent from the true darkness of the world. Do you understand?"

"Yes father, but that does not mean that I have to like it." Harry said with a hard glint in his eyes. Gabriel smiled sadly at him.

"I would expect nothing less from my son." Harry just shook his head at his father's declaration. "We should finish mapping out this poor man's personality. I don't want anything to slip through that is me."

"It took us months to get every detail worked out right. Adjusting as new data came in. I thought we would never finish." Harry said as they finished their breakfast. Akihiro nodded and waited for the rest of the tale to spill out of his half awake sibling.

"You're awful quiet this morning."

"Waiting for you and glad to be home again."

"So on with the history hummm?"

"Yes. If you wouldn't mind."

"What I am about to tell you, is not pleasant. It has to do with how you were born. I have always dreaded having to tell you this part." Harry said becoming very interested in his plate.

"I won't be mad Harry. I want to know."

"You may wish you didn't when you hear what happened."

(1946)

Harry crouched on top of the wall that surrounded the home, the Logan persona and his very pregnant step-mother Itsu lived in. He looked through his binoculars and observed someone not Logan sneaking into the home. He watched for a few more seconds to see where the intruder was headed. He cursed himself, as he saw a small muzzle flash.

He jumped down from the wall and charged into the home to see who had fired the weapon. He came upon a man call "The Winter Soldier" tearing out of the house through a window.

Harry quickly darted into the room the other man had just left, only to see a shadowy figure leaning over his dying stepmother.

"Get the hell away from her." Harry said raising his revolver at the figure and fired. This knocked the figure back but it was still trying to get to his unborn sibling, at this Harry saw red. He drew his wand and fired off several cutting cures, driving the unknown assailant away from the dying mother and child. Once he was sure that the intruder was gone he checked on Itsu, who was hanging on by a thread.

"*gasp*Akihiro, save him please." Itsu pleased through bloody lips. Harry wept and nodded. He saw that the other person was trying to rip his sibling out of Itsu. He pulled his best dagger to finish opening the poor woman. A gush of fluid, and Harry found himself holding his baby brother. He quickly checked Itsu to see if she still lived. Her unseeing eyes looked toward the squalling infant and smiled.

"He lives Itsu, you may rest now. No harm will come to him as long as I draw breath." Harry whispered to her. Itsu smiled and breathed no more. Harry sobbed over her, and his small brother.

He was drawn out of his grief at failing Itsu and his father, by a shivering baby Akihiro. He got up quickly and found the clothes that they had set aside for after Akihiro's birth. He gently diapered and clothed the new Van Helsing and packed for the trip back to Italy. Harry knew someone would come after them if they knew baby Akihiro survived his mother's death.

"So, that is how you were born. Please forgive me for failing you." Harry said thickly.

"*sniff* When do we go after the Winter Soldier?" Akihiro asked as he drank his coffee. Harry sighed, and took a deep breath.

"I already went after him. When you were three, I tracked him down. It seems he was Captain America's sidekick Bucky. He had been brainwashed, and was working for the Russians. I explained what happened that night, he did tell me that he was sorry that he had been forced to take Itsu from you."

"I suppose that we should forgive, but, not forget." Akihiro sighed

"Oh, no I told him once we had finished with our missions we would be coming after him."

"Oh, good to know."

"Father will want a piece of him as well." Akihiro gave a feral smile that was mirrored back at him by Harry.
