Harry Potter SHIELD Agent
AN: Thanks to all those who read and reviewed.
Sorry it took so long to update, hopefully the next chapter won't take so long
This chapter started off as an explanation of why Harry is like he is, not really sure if it does that.
Chapter 3
Harry rolled of bed the next morning a smile upon his face. He could still remember Sirius telling him for the first time what his father did, and ever since that moment he had wanted to follow his father's footsteps. Of course it had been Sirius who had gotten Harry into cars, in fact thinking back most of the major decisions in Harry's life had been down to what Sirius had told him about his father. The most prominent of those memories was the day after his thirteenth birthday
-Flashback-
Harry pushed himself out of bed and padded down the stairs, looking around the kitchen come dining room for Sirius he shrugged and started to make himself an omelet.
"Mind making me one?" Harry jumped almost dropping the pan as Sirius spoke from behind him.
"Damn Sirius, you surprised me" Sirius smiled apologetically and sat down at the table a cup of coffee in his hand. Harry placed the omelet he had just finished cooking on a plate and slide in front of him before turning back to the oven and starting to make his own breakfast. Once made he sat down and they ate there breakfasts in silence.
Finally Harry looked up "Ok Sirius what's up?" Sirius looked somewhat bemused.
"Nothin..." he started to say but was cut off by the look Harry was giving him. Giving a small he continued "You're far too observant for your own good sometimes Harry." Harry just grinned.
"Come on, I've got to open the garage, I'll explain while we work" At Harry's look of surprise and hopefulness Sirius grinned reached over and ruffled Harry's hair
"I did say I would teach you everything I know about cars when you turn thirteen, and since it was your birthday yesterday that means your education starts today" Harry a wide grin upon his face jumped down from his seat and followed Sirius down into the garage below their apartment.
The morning past with Sirius teaching Harry parts of the engine, to his surprise and pleasure, Sirius found that he was a natural. However the next part of Sirius promise to himself was harder and so when it came to lunch Sirius and Harry were sat at the table eating the sandwiches he had gotten from the place across the road when he knew that it would probably not get a better time to talk to him.
"Harry, I need to tell you something" Harry looked up at the seriousness in Sirius' voice. "When you're parents were killed and you came to live with me, I promised you that I would tell you something when you turned thirteenth and we're old enough to understand"
Harry put his sandwich down "I guess this doesn't have to do with mechanics?" he asked worriedly.
Sirius shook his head "No it's about your parents"
Harry looked at him with some confusion "They we're killed in a car crash weren't they?"
Sirius nodded "They were, the part you don't know is that the car crash wasn't an accident, someone pulled up along side and shot at their car with a fully automatic machine gun. I'm sorry"
Harry just sat there stunned. "But why would anyone have them killed" Sirius smiled sadly "Harry, your dad wasn't just a mechanic he worked for MI6 as an analyst." Harry just sat there opened mouthed. "My dad was a spy?" he asked with amazement. Sirius nodded "Harry they never caught the people who did it" Harry nodded sadly "Thanks for telling me" he said quietly as Sirius slipped around the table and pulled Harry into a hug.
-End Flashback-
That was the first time Harry had decided he wanted to be a spy like his father. He wasn't sure why, it might be that it brought him closer to his father, or it maybe it was just he wanted to help. But he had all but given up on that idea when Sirius had told him that you couldn't apply to be a spy, you got asked.
Shaking his head Harry shook the thoughts from his head and made his way downstairs to open the garage for the day. Twisting the sign to open he turned and glanced around, for once there wasn't any cars that needed work one immediately which meant he could finally get round to taking a stock check. He moved and his eyes fell upon the mustang which he was currently restoring, stock check could wait he decided as he slipped on his overalls working on the mustang would let him relax.
The bell rang and Harry straightened up from the engine he was stripping and walked through to the front of the Garage. He greeted the young woman with a smile "Hi", he said. "How can I help?"
The young woman spun around "Oh sorry, I got distracted" she said waving her hand at the photos on the wall and flashed him a smile which he couldn't help but return.
"I'm Megan" Harry took her extended hand "Harry" she smiled again "Well it's my car, there seems to be a problem with the fuel injection, I was wondering if you could help"
Harry nodded "I will certainly take a look, why don't you show me" she turned and walked through to the garage. Harry watched her hips sway before shaking himself and looking away. She brought the car into the garage, it was an old Ford escort.
After a quick look Harry knew what he would have to do. He turned to Megan "I've got to replace to fuel line, its probably going to take me a good couple of hours to fix, there's no need for you to stay"
"And if I want to stay and watch?" she asked with a small smile. Harry shrugged "You're more than welcome too if you wish, there's a waiting room through that door" he replied as he started to move about the garage collecting the parts and tools he required.
"So how long have you been working on cars?" The sudden question startled Harry slightly as he had been working on the car for awhile and was totally immersed in what he was doing and had completely forgotten about Megan.
"My godfather taught me everything, starting when I was thirteen" he answered without looking up.
"Most of it's become second nature, more or less, there's not a lot I can't do" that thought reminded him he hadn't spoken to Sirius in the past few weeks.
"So your good with your hands?" Megan's voice had changed slightly, and if Harry wasn't mistake she was flirting with him. A small smile crossed his lips, two could play at that game.
"I've never had any complains" he replied. With a twist he pulled the fuel line out from its holdings and a dusting of rust fell onto his face. Shacking it out of his eyes he ducked out from under the car the part in his hand. He placed it in the ground and looked up.
His breath caught in his throat when he realised that Megan had taken her jacket off the tight tank top she had sat tight across her chest. Her tight stomach pierced with a small butterfly charm. Her feet were resting on the desk showing off her long athletic legs.
"See something you like?" she smirked her pale blue eyes sparkling with mirth. Harry blushed slightly. Before flashing her a smile. "Maybe I do" winking before turning back to the car.
Harry looked up at Megan, "Well I'm all done, your car should run just fine"
Megan swung her legs down from her desk and smiled at Harry.
"Thanks, how much do I owe you?" Harry moved around to the other side of the desk and checked his database "$185 for everything" he pressed two buttons on the computer and printed out an invoice.
"Here's the invoice" Megan took it and nodded before walking over to her handbag and pulling out her purse and pulled out the exact amount. Harry just blinked in astonishment "You do exactly how much it would cost?" Megan just smiled and shrugged "I looked it up online and then brought extra in case it costed more" Harry smiled and nodded.
"I wish all my customers were as prepared as you" Megan smiled and then seemed to get nervous.
"Umm I was wondering if you were not busy whether you would like to go for a drink later?" she asked quietly. Harry blinked in surprise it had been a few months since he had last been asked that, the problem was he was leaving in a week, but as long as it was just a drink then it should be fine, no harm could come from having a friendly drink, so he smiled and nodded.
"Sure I'd like that, where?" Megan thought for a moment "That bar around the corner, the Royal Horse, that looks nice."
Harry nodded "Sure I'll see you there around eight?" Megan grinned and nodded "See you later" she said as she slid easily into her car and drove away as Harry watched
Harry walked into the bar, he had dressed up more than he usually would for a night out. Why he wanted to make a good impression he wasn't entirely sure, possibly because he hadn't been on a proper date since he left England. He saw Megan sitting in a booth and grinned she looked beautiful, she had a long red dress which fell to her knees and accented her curves perfectly. She grinned when she noticed him and stood up to greet him, pulling him into a light hug.
"How are you?" she asked with a smile.
"I'm good, you look good also"
Megan smiled prettily "Thanks, you clean up nice" Harry smiled "Thanks" he replied as he slid into the booth opposite Megan. "So how many more cars did you end up fixing today?" She asked.
"None, its a Monday, normally a quiet day so I spent it fixing up my Mustang" He turned to the waiter as he slid a drink in front of Harry "thanks" he turned back to Megan who seemed somewhat shocked
"You have a mustang? Which one?" Harry grinned "69 Shelby" Megan grinned took a sip of her drink and then frowned.
"What's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing it's just I shouldn't have asked for this drink, I just wanted one night of fun before I leave" Harry cocked his head to the side in confusion.
"Leave for where?" Megan shrugged apologetically "I'm leaving New York on Wednesday, and I wanted to have fun"
Harry snorted slightly "Well I probably shouldn't have accepted then" Megan looked confused "Why you didn't know?" Harry shook his head "No I didn't but I'm leaving on Friday"
Megan nodded sadly "Well I guess this was a mistake by both of us" she said sadly.
Harry thought and then smiled "Maybe not...you did say you wanted to have fun"
They crashed through the door to Harry's apartment, he kicked it shut with his foot, his tongue wrestling with hers for dominance. She pulled back breathing heavily face flushed as she drank in the oxygen she had been deprived from by the force of the kiss.
Harry looked down at her "Are you sure you want this" he started to asked but was just off by the force of her lips hitting his. Megan's hands slipped up his back until they were tangled in his hair, he groaned slightly and ran his hand's down her back causing her to shiver slightly.
"I" Kiss "Think" kiss "We should" kiss "Take this" kiss "to the bedroom" kiss "before it gets" kiss "out of hand" Megan gasped out.
Harry just lifted her up without responding, his lips still glued to hers and carried her through to his bedroom. He dropped her onto his bed and stared down at her, her blonde hair was disheveled and tangled, her eyes dark with lust. She sat up and moved her hands to the top of her dress and slowly began to unzip it.
Harry woke up and wondered why there was a draft and both sides of his bed looked as if they had been slept in before remembering last night. Pushing himself up onto his elbows he glanced around the room but saw no evidence of Megan until his eyes fell upon the table in the corner where a note sat. Pushing himself out of bed Harry walked over to the table and picked up the note.
Harry
Last night was amazing, I haven't had so much fun in a long time
Sorry for slipping out this morning, but I didn't want to make it awkward
and I have things I need to do.
I hope we meet again
Until next time
Megan
Harry sighed as he placed the note down. It wasn't the first time someone had done this to him, but that time it had hurt a lot more, this time he understood where she was coming from.
Stepping into the shower he allowed the water to wash away the stiffness from his body and wake him up. Leaning back against the wall of the shower he laughed gently. He could almost imagine Sirius congratulating him on picking up another girl when he hadn't been planning on it. He shook his head as he remembered the advice Sirius had used to give him before he had gotten married to Amelia. He had always told Harry to never pass up an opportunity to get to know a woman better. Of course he had meant physically but Harry had take his advice two ways, one never to turn down a beautiful woman if she offered herself and two if she just needed a friend then be that friend.
Harry had just finished breakfast and had put the dishes away when his phone rang. Moving over to the side he grinned when he saw Sirius' name on the call I.D.
"Hey Sirius" Harry said "Hey Pup, how are you?" Sirius voice asked "I'm good, really good actually, how are you and Amelia and the twins?"
Sirius snorted "Really good? you got laid last night didn't you, who is she and how long have you been seeing her? Oh and Amelia and I are good, the twins have a cold so they've been cranky for the past two days"
Harry rolled his eyes, trust Sirius to ask that first. "Well her name is Megan, never did get her last name and I only met her yesterday, doubt I'll see her again" He could almost imagine Sirius laughing at him and patting him on the back, he really was a child sometimes.
"Why wouldn't you see her again?" he asked, Harry blinked, Sirius almost sounded concerned which wasn't his normal reaction.
"She's moving out of the city to start a new job and wanted to have a night of fun, I didn't see the harm in that"
He heard Sirius let out a breath of relief "What's going on?" he asked "You normally don't care"
He heard Sirius make a non committal noise.
"I was just wondering, I don't see you everyday anymore so I need to ask, I can't just know from looking since I don't see you the morning after" Harry sighed "Well maybe we should arrange something, I do miss you" he heard Sirius chuckle "I miss you too pup, I've got to go, the twins have just woken up, take care" Harry smiled and nodded even though Sirius couldn't see him "I will, talk to you soon" They hung up at almost the same time.
Harry looked around his apartment with a sad sigh, he hated not being able to tell Sirius that he had been offered a job but he wasn't sure on how SHIELD would react if he went around telling his friends they had offered him a job. With a shrug he decided he would ask. Grabbing the mug of coffee from the sideboard and made his was downstairs to open up the garage.
His last customer of the day came in with his Ford F-150. "Hi" he greeted the man as he jumped down from the cab. "Mr Potter" the man said back with a nod and a shake of his hand.
"I'm George, this won't take long will it?" Harry shook his head "Maybe twenty minutes, there's a waiting room through that door, I'll come get you when I'm done, if not there's a mall a couple of minutes walk away give it half an hour and you can come collect it"
The man, George nodded, "I'll be back in a bit, I've a couple of errands to run" Harry nodded and smiled as the man walked out of the garage.
Half an Hour later George came back into the garage as Harry was just writing up the invoice. George nodded his thanks as he took the invoice and paid by check. "I was wondering, my cousin needs his car looked at, could I bring him here?" He asked Harry. Harry shook his head
"Nope, I'm closing down for a while, I've been offered a job elsewhere, you're my last customer, sorry"
George shrugged "Oh well, no worries then" he said before holding out his hand.
"Thanks, and good luck with your new job"
Harry smiled and took his hand "Thanks" he replied.
George swung his pickup out of the garage and Harry shut the doors behind him. He lent back against the metal and sighed, he would miss this place, working on cars and the smell of engine oil and petrol.
