Chapter 3:

Harry was sparring with the dummy in the basement when the proximity alarm went off. He hit the rune on the edge of the ring shutting the dummy down before pulling off the protective gloves and pulling a shirt over his t-shirt and made his way upstairs. He glanced over to the door and saw Pepper standing there looking nervous tears in her eyes. Harry moved over quickly and opened the door.
"Pepper" he asked worriedly.
She turned to him "Oh Harry I didn't know where else I could go"
Harry nodded and held open the door. "Come in" Pepper smiled gratefully. Harry led her to her normal chair and moved around the bar to make her a coffee. He put in front of her. "It's on the house" he said. Pepper took it and nodded gratefully holding it in both hands.

"So what's up?" Harry asked gently.
"It's Tony" Pepper said between tears "His convoy was ambushed early this morning and he was kidnapped"
Harry glanced at the TV in confusion he would have assumed news that important would have been broadcast
Pepper shook her head "Obadiah Stane, the executive officer of Stark Industries has managed to keep it out of the media for now, but he's supposed to back tomorrow, when he isn't people will realise something's going on"
Harry shook his head. "Pepper, from what you've told me Tony's a genius, and the army is looking for him, he'll turn up"
Pepper had tears in her eyes. "I hope your right, I really really do, I'm just so worried, I wish I had been able to convince him not to go to Afghanistan"
Harry moved around the bar and placed his hand on top of hers "Pepper" he said and waited until she looked up at him "Trust me it's not your fault"
Pepper tried to speak but Harry cut her off "Look I went through a time where I blamed myself for everything that went wrong to my friends, but you had nothing to do with his kidnapping so it really isn't your fault"
Pepper smiled weakly at him. "But what am I supposed to do?" she asked quietly

Harry thought for a moment "Well I believe that Stane is making a mistake, you need to announce that Stark has been kidnapped"
Pepper looked at him with confusion "Why?" she asked.
Harry shrugged "That way you can control it rather than allowing the media to make there own conclusions when they find out that it's been kept from the public"
Pepper nodded slightly. "I think your right, I've got to get up to Stark Industries" She stood up and kissed Harry on the cheek and hugged him. "Thank you" she said with a watery smiled.
Harry smiled back "I'm here to talk anytime." Pepper smiled and nodded before leaving the café.

Harry sighed he knew how upset Pepper would be if Tony died, and she was his friend which meant that whether he liked it or not chances were he was going to get involved. He swore softly to himself, better he get involved on his own terms rather than someone else's.
Moving over he grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled a quick note about a family emergency before sticking it to the door before moving down to his basement and touched the runic array to fully activate the wards around the café.
The he grabbed the belt which had expendable charms built into the pouches in which were magical medical supplies as well as his invisibility cloak and other things he might need. Then making sure his place was fully locked up he apparated to the airport.

Harry sat on the plane to Egypt, he had waited at the airport for three hours for the plane, but if he was being watched it was probably safer for him to travel to Egypt and then apparate across to Afghanistan.
After nearly sixteen hours of being on a plane he arrived in Egypt getting through passport control look nearly and hour and by this time it was half ten in the evening and Harry was exhausted and apparating when this tired was never a good idea. He checked himself into the hotel at the airport, not worrying about how strange he must look without a suitcase.

The next morning Harry checked himself out of the hotel and made his way to a deserted alley and was about to apparate when he felt someone watching him, he moved quickly out of the alley and down the road, he notice a man in a suit almost identical to the one Coulson had worn when had come to visit following him.
So he thought, SHIELD was tracking him, he smirked slightly as he reaching into his pouch and grasped his invisibility cloak, ducking into the next alley he swung it over himself and knelt down. He had to hold in a laugh as the man rushed around the corner and stood looking around dumbly before pulling out a phone obviously to report in that he had lost him. The man stepped out of the alley and Harry gripped the cloak and dissapparate with a small pop.

He arrived in Afghanistan at 9:30 local time it was Monday morning, Tony had been kidnapping the Friday night before. Getting into the country had cost him two days and now he had to find him in a country full of American soldiers and terrorists with no where to start. A quick glance around showed him a group of soldiers who were waiting, two humvees pulled up and the soldiers jumped in.
Knowing his best option was to follow the soldiers he made sure his invisibility cloak was around his shoulders he cast a charm on himself so he was total silent before moving quickly and jumping onto the roof of the lead humvee. Half an hour later they arrived at an U.S. Army base. Harry slipped off the roof and slipped between the soldiers and into a tent.
He froze when he saw the screens filled with pictures of Tony. "Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, you're the closest to Tony, is there anything else you can tell us?" The tall man on the left identified himself as Rhodes with a shake of his head "No colonel, we have teams on the ground, each have an emergency beacon like these" he held up a small box "If they find Stark they'll activate it"
The colonel nodded "Good, I want extra air coverage 24 hours a day, Mr Stark is too high a profile man for them to have for too long, and we definitely can't allow him to be executed on live television, so get on it people we need to find him" Harry slipped close to the table and grabbed an emergency beacon before slipping out of the tent.

Three weeks later and Harry was exhausted, it didn't matter that he could use magic to keep himself hydrated or cool, he decided that he hated sand with a passion, it got in all the most annoying places, and using magic just seemed to make it worse. Three days, he told himself, three more days and then Tony would have been missing for a month, he didn't even know if Tony was alive. Harry swore to himself something that had been getting more and more common the past couple of days, sometimes he wished that he didn't have this annoying need to help his friends then he wouldn't be stuck in this frustrating desert looking for one man.
He came to the top of a small dune, where there was still no sign of Tony Stark. It was if whomever had taken him had made him vanish from the face of the earth.
He froze when he heard voices and dropped to the ground covering himself with his cloak with a whispered translation spell he could now understand what they were saying "He was around here, I would swear it"
Three men came over the rise arguing. "It is of no matter now, the boss wants us back, the scientist should be almost finished those missiles" Harry breathed a sigh of relief by the sounds of it these people know where Tony was. He fired a tracking spell in case he lost them and followed at a discreet distance. After half an hour of walking the arrived in a small valley with tents and piles of weapons spread out.

"Don't move" Harry froze as he felt the barrel of a gun pressed against his neck, men quickly encircled him guns raised spread out so that even if Harry did attack them he wouldn't be able to get them all and the shield charm would be useless, he remembered Mad-Eye warning everyone that the Protego shield wouldn't stop bullets, of course there was one that did but he refused to teach them.
So with a sigh Harry raise both his hands slowly in surrender. "What are you doing here?" one of them asked.
Then Harry realised he had made a mistake, he might understand what they were saying but it was impossible for him to speak there language without using magic.
"Who are you?" the man spoke slowly and Harry realised he was speaking English. With a breath he decided he could answer "I'm a traveller, I got lost, sorry" The man looked at him disbelievingly "You believe I am that stupid" he spat on the ground in front of Harry before turning back to his men.
"Take him, put him with the others, remind them they only have five days before one of them dies." Harry felt the gun removed from his back but before he could react he felt a needle pierce his neck and everything swam to black.

"Hey, hey" Harry was awoke by someone shaking him gently. He rolled with a groan his vision fuzzy and his head pounding. "Here drink this" a clay cup was pressed against his lips and he drank slowly. He looked around as his vision returned to see two men standing before him. One an older bald man with glasses who was kneeling next to him, the other a younger, around forty man who was about the same size and build as Harry but with a glowing blue ring in his chest.
"You look worse that I do after a good night out" The younger man said, with a small chuckle now Harry's vision had returned he knew who it was, Tony Stark. Harry pushed himself upright until he was sitting on the edge of the camp bed.
"So I know who you are" Harry said point at Tony, "You I don't know" he said quizzically
The older man smiled kindly "My name is Doctor Ho Yesin, may I enquire as to whom you are?"
Harry nodded "My name is Harry Potter" Yesin gave a nodded as Harry looked around in confusion "How long was I out for?"
Yesin smiled gently again, something Harry took as a bad sign. "Three days, we were worried you weren't going to make it"
Tony nodded "But now your awake you can help us finish"
Harry looked at him "I'm not an engineer you know, I just run a coffee shop" Tony gaped at him and Yesin chuckled
"No Mr Potter, I believe you are much more than what you do, but it would not be good for you to strain yourself today, we will continue with the work, you keep watch on the door" Harry nodded.

The door swung open and three men armed, guns raised entered the room. The one at the front, evidently the leader started talking animatedly to Yesin. Harry sighed he guessed when he was out the translation spell had worn off. He reached for his magic to fight if necessary but there was nothing there. He started to panic, whatever they had given him blocked his use of magic. The man talking snapped something before storming out.
Yesin turned around with a sigh, removed his glasses and rubbed his face tiredly. "We have 48 hours to get there weapon ready"
Tony about to make a quip turned determined "Well then, it's time to cue to music and get to work" He turned back to the bench behind him and fired up one of the machines.
Yesin glanced at him then moved to sit next to Harry. "We have a plan, We're building a machine capable of getting us out of here"
Harry nodded "I guess you're telling me because I'm invited along?"
Yesin nodded "No-one deserves to be left behind with these animals"
Harry nodded gratefully. "Mr Yesin, do you have some way of taking my blood?" Yesin nodded confusion showing on his nodded "Can you take some, whatever they gave me has effected me in ways that shouldn't be possible, I need to know how"
Yesin nodded and pulled a syringe from his bag under the bed and quickly drew some of Harry's blood and poured in into a small vial which he handed to Harry. "Thanks, I'll explain when we get out of here"
Yesin nodded and laid a hand of Harry's shoulder "Rest, watch the door, let us scientists do what we need to" Harry nodded and laid back, still exhausted from whatever it was they injected him with.
