Steve looked at the others seeing that none knew exactly how to start sighed and looked at Natasha and clint. "Why don't we go an talk elsewhere? Banner can you stay and keep an eye out on Harry?" Banner nodded silently.
Steve gestured for Natasha and Clint to follow him out of the Med-bay Thor stayed behind to help with Harry.
As soon as they were sitting Natasha said," Explain now."
Steve sighed before speaking,"What we know is that the kids name is Harry. According to JARVIS he was flung through some sort of portal. He ended up crashing through Stark's window. He shows signs of being tortured an as such his injuries are serious. Also according to Thor he's some sort of great descendant from the magic users that aided Asgard against the Jotun a millennium ago. I've talked to him as well, he's no threat." Natasha narrowed her green eyes before nodding ever so slightly. It was Clint who snorted in disbelief.
"So what just because the he's young he's not a threat? He's a magic user, and in my experience they can't be trusted." Clint stood and glared at him.
"Clint surely he deserves at least a chance? Until he proves me wrong I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt." Natasha stated. Clint scoffed his eyes shining with anger. "Magic users can't be trusted!" he snarled before stalking off his entire body rigid. Natasha sighed, "I'll talk to him see if I can bring him around it may take awhile though. He's not been the same after...well after Loki." The others nodded in understanding before everyone else slowly scattered. Pepper had snagged Tony saying he head a very important meeting he could not miss. Natasha went off in search of Clint while Banner went back to monitoring Harry. Thor seemed intent to help and was watching everything Banner did with interest. Steve sighed to himself before deciding to head to the gym to train and think for a bit. He needed to think of exactly how to explain all this to Fury, a task he knew would not be easy.
Two days had passed before Harry had regained conciseness. Most of the occupants of the Tower went about their daily routines, excluding Thor who had taken up residence at "The young Seiders" bedside. Clint was rarely seen around the Tower. when he was spotted he seemed to have a permanent scowl etched into his face. near the end of the second day from the vicinity of the med-bay came an excited shout. Steve being one of the only ones in earshot quickly stopped what he was doing and hurried towards the med-bay. Pausing at the door he stepped inside automatically scanning the room before looking at Harry. Who was currently talking too Banner and doing his best to ignore Thor who was hovering over him.
Striding forward Steve smiled and spoke, "How are you feeling?" he asked looking him over critically assess his healing injuries. Most of the small cuts had scabbed over, the bruise on his neck fading from a deep purple to a greenish yellow. His color was also improving though he looked a little flushed as he got closer. A slight fever maybe? He wouldn't surprise him with the injuries he had sustained. He for obvious reason though still moved very slow. "I;m doing better thanks." Harry replied softly as he slowly edged towards the edge of the bed. Banner who noticed the movement quickly moved forward. "Wait you don't need to be moving your back was practically in shreds!" he protested.
Harry smirked ever so slightly. "I've had worse trust me the sooner I can move my muscles the better off ill be. I know my limits." Harry replied
Steve wondered how exactly Harry knew this but filled it away to ask later.
Banner still looked doubtful but didn't protest further as Harry slide off the bed straighten out to his full height slowly. He stood still for a minute and Steve could see where he was carefully flexing and moving each muscle testing them. Seeming satisfied Harry looked at Steve, "I'm assuming you and your friends will be wanting answers?"
Steve nodded slightly sheepish, "Particualary Natasha and Tony, recently we've not had the best reason to trust magic users." For a moment Steve swore Harrys eyes seemed to sharpen before he shrugged carelessly, "Fair enough,lead the way."
Nodding Steve turned and walked back out the Medbay with the Harry following slowly Thor and Banner bringing up the rear.
Knowing that Harry was proabay hungry he headed for the kitchen. Jarvis he was sure had alerted the others and would let them know where they were.
Harry looked around the kitchen curiously his green eyes taking in every detail. Steve was currently heating up what smelled like Chicken noodle soup. Banner was nursing a cup of Earl Grey the Familiar aroma soothing to Harrys senses. He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Thor was currently scarfing down a box of pop tarts. Harry smiled his eyes growing distant as a memory swam to the surface of his mind.
Ron was currently stuffing his face a drumstick in each hand as he ate. Hermione watched with disgust before asking, "Do you ever stop eating?"
Ron looked up with a pulled expression. "What? I'm hungry!" He defended around a mouth full of food. Hermione rolled her eyes and returned to her book with a huff.
Banner watched as Harry's eyes became distant there vivd green seeming to dull. Harry didn't even stir when Steve set the a bowl of chicken noodle soup in front of him. Steve watched him with concern before looking at Banner, "You know I almost hate to guess what would cause one so young to look as old as he does right now."
Banner nodded still watching Harry carefully, as he did Harry blinked a few times his eyes sharpening before looking at the bowl of soup in surprise. Unnoticed Natasha watched him as Harry held his wrist close an metal cuff adorning it close to the bowl. Seeming satisfied he slowly began to eat the soup, after a few minutes he set the spoon down and looked at the others calmly, "What do you want to know? I'll answer what I can." he said softly.
"What happened to you?" Banner asked immediately.
"My peoples society stays hidden from the regular world, or cultural is a little backwards to be sure we still use quills and parchment rather than pen and paper. However none of that truly matters. What does Matter is that my people are at war. We had a Dark Lord rise up, so far he has taken over the government and rules with fear. I was part of what we called the Order of the Phoenix we basically used what you would call guerrilla warfare i suppose." Harry watched as Thor perked up at the mention of War his eyes dark.
"Why not just kill him?" Natasha asked bluntly, Harry laughed dry.
"If it were only so simple." Harry looked at Thor before asking, "You said you've seen my people before tell me have you ever heard of Horcruxes?"
At his question Thor's expression darkened till it resembled a thundercloud. "Aye I have. This...dark lord...he has made one?"
Harry nodded but before he could speak was intreuptted by Tony. "Whats a...whore crux?" he asked.
Harry sighed, looking at Thor he asked "do you want to explain?"
Thor nodded serious before saying, " A Horcrux is some of the foulest dark magic that I know of. Basically one splits their very soul and stores the other half in a container of sorts that can be kept safe. So long as the witch or wizard has a Horcrux they cannot truly die. One must destroy the Horcrux and then an only than can they kill the person."
Natshasa nodded in understanding, tony however spoke up, "Split his soul? How does one do that exactly?"
Harry closed his eyes, "By committing murder of an innocent in cold blood." he said quietly.
In the horrified silence it was Banner that spoke softly. "Have you been unable to find his Horcrux?" he asked
"Harry sighed, "No I've destroyed several. The Dark lord has made we estimate a total of seven Horcruxes. With each one he made his madness and instability has grown."
Thor cursed, "This foul pest must be taken out!" he thundered while the other Avengers simply nodded.
"Is this how you came to be here?" Steve asked carefully.
Harry sighed running a hand over his face, "The order had gotten word of a location of one of his Horcruxes and me and one of my friends went to investigate..." he trailed off closing his eyes, "It was a trap. before we could get out my friend had been killed and I was captured. I'm not sure what exactly happened after that...im remember being tortured and beat but...I think they threw me through the Veil of Death in the Ministry. I should be dead, however as I think on it I think the Veil of death may be a portal to different dimensions or alternate realities, we were never sure exactly what it was or how it worked." he finished.
"So basically you're saying yu could be from a different dimension and you're stuck here till you can go back?" Tony asked slowly.
Harry frowned but nodded, "As far as I know. Yes."
Tony beamed, "Great! Welcome to the Avengers! Do you think I could run some tests and see how this Magic mumbo jumbo works?" he asked looking like an overexcited child.
Harry blinked in shock even as the others groaned and Pepper slapped Tony upside the head.
