Note: FYI Coulson is not a jerk just suspicious give him time.

Chapter Six: Trouble

Ez was laying on a couch surrounded by four Avengers and one suspicious S.H.I.E.L.D official, Kingsley would be alternating between laughing and strangling him right now. His team was going, shit his team! Ez jumped up off the couch and wavered a bit before finding his balance, Dr. Banner looked panicked.

"I am not sure you should be up yet," Dr. Banner said.

"My team. I need to check in with my team."

"Well just call them," Steve reasoned.

Ez paused and pretended to check his pockets even though he did not own a cell phone. "I seem to have lost my cell."

"Here use mine. It already has Agent Gringley's number in it," Tony offered handing over his phone.

"Thank you," Ez said taking the phone. Tony had already pulled up Sara's number so Ez just hit call.

"Mr. Stark," Sara greeted.

"Not quite. It's Ez."

"Caelum why do you have Stark's phone?"

"Well I am at Avenger's tower."

"What? Why? Did S.H.I.E.L.D. bring you in? Are you okay do you need help?"

"I am fine except I think Mr. Rogers gave me a concussion when he ran into me."

"Captain America ran you down?"

"Yes and now I am here with him in Avenger Tower."

"Right. Uh can you get out of there without giving away the fact you are a wizard or being taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D?"

"I can defiantly do one of those but both might be a little difficult."

"Okay. Well then do not reveal magic we can get you out of S.H.I.E.L.D's hands if need be. I hope."

"Right. Then I will hopefully see you at the base as soon as I can."

"Be careful Caelum."

"Goodbye." Ez hung up the phone and passed it back to Tony.

"Everything good," Tony asked pocketing the phone carefully as not to smudge the finger prints Agent Black left on it.

"Yes my team is waiting for me back at the base."

"Base? Where is that," the S.H.I.E.L.D official asked speaking for the first time.

"Where is your base Mr?" Ez replied quirking his eyebrow. When you can't answer a question reflect with a question of your own.

"Fair. My name is Agent Coulson. And my base is here and the helicarrier." Coulson smirked internally let's see how 'Agent' Black answered that.

"Well then my base is my apartment in downtown Manhattan and in a large white building. And I stress the white."

"Ha! He got you there Coulson," Agent Barton snorted. The two seemed just alike, both stood there staring at each other with virtually blank faces and their arms crossed. Barton could tell right now that the two were going to prove to be equally stubborn.

"We have no record of you in our database and the information on the internet about you is very vague," Coulson said.

"Ah. It bugs you that S.H.I.E.L.D did not know I existed until now." Ez smirked, Agent Coulson might be good at keeping a blank face but the slight curling of his fingers into a light fist gave away his agitation.

"Agent Black how it looks when an unknown agent comes and joins and investigation that involves one of our agents then ends up at our agent's house. It seems suspicious does it not?"

"Yes it does but I was just walking through Central Park when Captain America here hits me at a dead sprint. Now I could have gotten my self-invited over with in a less bloody way if I wanted to."

"Right so you just happened to show up in the park at the same time Mr. Rogers went for a run?"

"And should I be questioning the fact that the day I met Mr. Stark he showed up at the club I was at? Did you have him following me? Because if I cannot get hit by Mr. Rogers without someone getting suspicious then Tony surely cannot show up at the same club as me without him have following me."

Coulson opened his mouth to reply but shut it when he did not have anything to say. He knew he was being unreasonable and that it was highly unlikely that Agent Black had meant to run into Steve in the park but something about the young agent made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

"Sorry Agent Black. Agent Coulson can be overprotective," Steve said filling in the silence that had grown after Agent Black's last comment.

"It is quite alright I tend to make people uncomfortable," Ez said smiling at the gorgeous man. "My team is waiting for me and I have to get back. So thank you Dr. Banner for patching me up, and it was nice meeting the rest of you." Ez headed for the elevator.

"I will show you out," Agent Coulson said stepping beside him.

"Thank you," Ez said giving a polite but forced smile. What does he want now Ez thought as they stepped into the elevator.

"I am just going to warn you S.H.I.E.L.D. does not like unknown agents' snooping around some of our top operatives. We will be looking into you Agent Black."

"I get it, protect your agents Coulson. I will go along to a certain point but if you push to far I will rip you to shreds," Ez replied locking cold hard eyes on Agent Coulson letting him know in one hard look that he was not a man to be trifled with.

"Understood," Agent Coulson replied. They reached the ground floor and the two agents nodded at each other and Ez slipped out the door and onto the street.

Ez muttered to himself about stupid rotten luck as he casted a notice-me-not glamour before slipping into a crowd and heading towards the nearest apparition station.

Ez popped into his office and saw all of his team and Head Auror Jennifer waiting on him.

"Oh good you made it back without being captured," Sara said smiling at him.

"Auror Black if I may speak with you for just a second," Auror Jennifer asked.

"Of course." They left the office and walked down the hall until they reached Jennifer's office.

"Well Auror Potter when Auror Kingsley told me I would have trouble keeping you out of trouble. I never would have thought it would mean you ending up in the Avengers' Tower and on S.H.I.E.L.D's radar before your first full week."

"Sorry Auror Jennifer. Even I did not think I would manage that."

"Yes well lucky for you this might help us out. Have you heard about the attack on New York not that long ago?"

"Almost every day since I have arrived. Why?"

"Well I was down at the Avenger Tower not long after the battle was over and I felt Loki's power, Loki is the Norse god who led the aliens here, and I have felt trickles of that power at all the attack sights and at the victims houses. Now not a lot of people know this as Loki is listed as a sever threat and we do not wish to raise panic. You have already met all the Avengers and we wish for you to try and figure out if they have any news on Loki's where about without raising suspicions."

"Of course Head Auror I will do my best."

Later that night Ez was lying in bed wondering how the hell he got himself into these things.

-Tony POV-

Tony set in his lab waiting for Jarvis to finish running Agent Black's finger prints. Maybe he would finally get some answers about the mysterious man.

"Sir I have the results."

"Pull them up on the screen."

"Yes sir."

Jarvis pulled up the results and Tony smirked when he saw the finger prints matched one Harry James Potter.
