Welcome to another exciting chapter. :) This one was real fun to write. Hope you all enjoy. As usual, I do not own Marvel or Harry Potter.
Ch. 8
Tuesday
11 pm
Zen laid awake, unable to sleep. The Cerberus whined and could tell it was lonely. Professor Mcgonagall had sent a letter, but no telling when someone would come to tend to it. By the way it moved, the girl could tell he was running out of food and water.
She sighed, got up and grabbed a loose fitting gi. Zen tiptoed out of the room. "Snivvy." The house elf popped into the hall.
"Is mistress alright? Little one should of been asleep long ago."
"The Cerberus needs attention. Accio lute." It floated to her hand. "Do you know if Dumbledore or Hagrid had any food for it." Snivvy shrunk a bit at the mention of Fluffy.
"Yes, Mistress. They had plenty, yet we were only allowed to feed it when Dumbledore ordered us to. Kept him hungry most of the time." Zen's teeth gritted together as her claws began to seep out." Snivvy gave a frightened whimper, backing away. "Please Mistress. I'm sorry. Don't be angry at me." Zen gazed over to see her reaction, before looking to her hand. She yiped,while drawing them back in. The girl wince
"No, no. Snivvy. Please forgive me. It wasn't you. I was angry at the man. Don't be afraid." She sighed, trying not to cry. Snivvy heard the girls voice crack a bit. The ekf new that all too well. Fear of being an outcast. The house elf walked up, took a cloth and wiped her hand.
"Mistress heals fast. A very special girl indeed and pretty claws. There is nothing to forgive, just a misunderstanding." Snivvy smiled at zen, who gave a small one back. "Snivvy will get it lots of food dear." She waved her hands around and food was transported to Fluffy
"Thank you, I'm going to go give it some company."
"Wait, you're what?" Zen held the lute up.
"I read that Asgard's and Cerberus have a connection. Besides they really love music." Zen opened a portal to the third floor. Fluffy chomped at the food eagerly as she stepped in. The girl slowly began to play, while walking to him. It growled as it turned to face the intruder. He was ready to pounce on the old man or giant. Whichever came first. Instead it was a young asgardian, playing a lovely toon. The heads tilted as it met her gaze and laid down.
"Has the little one come to our rescue?" Zen face grew surprised as the outside one spoke.
"Wait we can actually communicate to each other?"
"We'll, usually not to this extent." Said the middle one
"Must have shaman or an animal in your blood, just like Hella." Said the one to the right.
"As in the ruler of an afterlife world?" They grew smiles and gave small nuzzles.
"Interesting way to put it. Yes, we were small a small pup on her world when we accidentally went through the veil. Before we could get back the man snatched us." The middle one explained sadly.
"Do you know where the portal is?" They shook their heads.
"No. We don't know anything outside of this room."
"I see. We will look into it. For now, let me tell you three where we are. This place is called Hogwarts. It's a school filled with innocent children. Nobody knew he was keeping you hear until a few nights ago. Now only a few do and are doing what we can to get you three back home. Tracking down the bad men too. I am Zen."
"I am Vash. They are Aeros and Auren"
"So we are to be stuck in here until then?" Aeros sighed.
"Yes, but I'll can make it a bit better." The girl began transfiguring the room into a norse style den. She made a huge dog bed for them to sleep by a fire. Then placed the food and water into bowls. many toys were laid around for them to play and a window for them to see out of. The dog heads yipped happily. "I've been studying how to make magical items. Perhaps with my friends help we can make a collar so you can run around some."
"We would love that, young sorcerous. Very generous." Auren said happily
"Least i can do for ones who've been taken against their will. Please do not believe we are all evil."
"No we do not." Zen smiled, while petting them."
"Do you know what he hid and where?"
"The old man hid a stone in a mirror below the trap door. Many traps are spread throughout." Vash replied.
"A mirror huh?"
"Yes he keeps it below. His plans were to trick the Potter girl into going down to retrieve and battle a great evil." Zen frowned hearing this from Auren.
"Well, I like bashing the man plans he makes, don't you." The girl turned, opening a portal to view the room below. It had vines, so she moved it around until the next path. Keys were spinning around, Zen just sent the portal to the next room. A chess board laid. "Perhaps another time Professor mcgonagall. Next was a room with fire and potions on the side. "Yeah, no Professor Snape ones we have to brew ourselves are terrifying enough.
Finally Zen found the mirror of Erised. Her reflection shined through the portal, along with other people They all smiled and very happy. Tears streamed through Zens eyes. "They look familiar. Why? Who are they!"
"Do not be fooled young one. It's just an image of what you want to see. Remember the objective. The item inside. As long as you wish to do nothing with it, It will be yours. The reflection smiled to her, before it handed the stone wrapped in cloth.
"Protect it." The reflection spoke as Vash nipped the back of her shirt, pulling Zen back as Auren licked her. Zen snapped out of the trance, scrounging her face, while drying it."
"Turn it off. Does not do any good to gaze." Aeros ordered. Zen did as told, before rubbing her eyes. Sniffles came through her nose.
"Come little one rest with us." Vash scooped her up and brought her to the new comfy bed where they all rested. She transfigured the loot to play and all fell asleep.
5 A.m.
The alarm beeped on her phone indicating it was time to wake. Zen rubbed her eyes and sat. "What is that noise?"
"My alarm. The others will be waking." Zen opened the portal, walked through and turned back around. I'll come back to play soon."
"Play with who?" A not so pleased, yet familiar voice asked from behind. Zen froze for a second, but turned around with a smile. The group did not return it. "We've been looking for you over half an hour. We were worried."
"Er.. hi guys."
"Hi? You disappear for who knows how long. Come back and just say hi?" Aeri lectured with a frown.
"Eh" Zen moved to make the portal disappear, but Fred grabbed her as the others looked in and backe right out.
"Ok, close it." Neville asked nervously.
"What?" Fred let go and peeked through. The Cerberus was sitting as it wagged his tail." Fred's face went into shock.
"Yep, yep close it." Zen laughed , before releasing the portal.
"Yeah, met some friends last night. Heard them whining and wanting food. Had Snivvy ordered some and I wanted to keep them company."
"You what." They barked. Zen shrugged.
"Read that Asgardians have connections. Apparently I can understand them. Very nice actually." Zen held up the small bag. "Found the stone too."
"What?!" They frowned even further, especially Fred. Zens face fell a bit.
"You're grounded!" Fred barked heatedly. Her eyes widened as the others followed suit. "Do you have any idea how worried we, I was. Just gone like that! Evera didn't even know. You could of been hurt, not just by it, but by going after the object!"
"Worst thing is you didn't tell us, me!" The room grew colder to Zen as she looked down. A few tears formed. He was right and angery.
"I.. I'm sorry. " She whispered turning to head towards the bed. Fred pulled the girl back and formed a tight hug.
"Don't' you dare. This is your problem. Thinking you're alone or having to do everything yourself. Zen we would have gone as a team. If you had said let's go meet a three headed dog. All of us would have. Even Moine. Saying something about rules of course but would of been right along side. It is what family does." Zen nodded, hugging back before all piled in. They held tightly for a moment.
"Whoa, ok somebody smells like dog." Aeri commented, making everyone laugh.
"I'm not the only one who is going to be smelling in a couple minutes to training we go." Zen pointed, trying to lead the way." Fred grabbed her hand.
"We are not done with this by a long shot. Aeri will train us, you will shower and write a hundred sentences. I will tell my family where I am going and not leave without them.
"What?!" She looked to them all who just nodded. "Ah come on!"
"Want to get back into our good graces, you'll do it!" Aeri backed Fred's decision.
"And no magic!" They barked in unison.
"Fine yeesh." Zen walked to grab paper and a pen. It had been an hour and almost finished. She sighed, glancing at the rest. They certainly were training hard and striked with precision. Fast learners and really good. The girl had let them down big time. Especially Fred and Aeri. Aeri most if all. Zen noticed the look of betrayal.
Was she going to loose them, just like the others in the mirror. Oh how Zen now detested looking in. Those two hugging girl finished up and walked to the side of the Dojo. She knelt and waited.
"Zen, what are you doing?" Aeri asked after giving the others instructions. Zen kept gazing down.
"When someone wishes to to be trained it is polite to wait until invited. I finished the sentences. May I please join your class. I'm sorry. I truly am. More than likely hurt you most of all." Aeri frowned, but pointed to the right.
"Ten laps and then you may join." Zen nodded.
"Thank you." Aeri walked back over To the others.
"She ok?" Fred asked, a bit worried.
"She will be."
"Now I get why my parents say it hurts us more than you." Fred sighed
"We must be firm though or she won't ever learn people care." Ten laps later, they allowed her to join, but all were awkwardly quiet. Zen new they weren't done with being angry or whatever they were at the moment. The training finished after a bit and got ready for breakfast. They all walked together, but Zen strolled a bit behind and kept quiet most of practice.
"So what do you guys think will happen at their trial today?" Oliver asked, making Zen groan. With everything going on the girl had completely forgot.
"I'm not really allowed to say. Seeing as I'll be judging."
"Be good to see some justice. Seeing as you two are heirs, no doubt they'll ask you on your thoughts. What will you suggest?"
"Depends on the person and how they act. Honestly would hate for them to be expelled, but we'll see." Aeri answered. Olliver turned to Zen.
"What about you?." Zen shrugged, while toying with her food. Flashes of the two people kept forming in her mind
"Not sure honestly." The girl stood. "I need some fresh air." She sighed and walked off. The rest of the group looked to each other with a bit of concern
"Am I missing something." Oliver asked a bit confused as Fred ran after her.
"Don't worry about it mate." George replied, but all felt like they might have overdone it.
"Zen, wait!" Fred begged, trying to keep up with her as they reached the courtyard. He took her arm and pulled the girl to face him. "Do you not understand what grounding means, young lady? You are not to leave my side." He half joked, before feeling tears. Instantly Fred pulled her close. "Ok, ok. It's done. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please don't cry. We love you and just don't want harm to come, cause we weren't there.
"I saw them. I saw my parents in a mirror and everyone else. All together. I've already lost them. Please don't hate me."
"Hate? No. We could never. Hey, we didn't know. Neither did we give much time to explain what happened and came on you hard." Fred sat on a bench with her. Neither talked for a moment and let the breeze hit their faces. "So tell me what happened I want to know everything."
"Here is not the best place." She replied with a sigh.
"Then later?"
"All of us?" Aeri's voice came from behind. They looked over to see the concerned faces.
"Of course. We are family right?"
"Nothing will change that Zen." They smiled and transfigured more benches. "Good, the trial is today and cannot afford to be out of sorts. Oliver is right we need to figure out something good to say. They'll be looking to us. Zen groaned.
"Why do we decide to lead people?"
"It's in both your bloods. Light laughs came out of Hermione's comment. The rest of the day breezed by and had a lighter tone. The twins met them after each class and no one had brought up what happened that morning. Everyone felt better and went into the now made up court room ready for the session to begin.
Hermione banged the gavel, gaining everyone's attention. "Order. The first student court is to begin. Bring the accused forward." The six entered and were led to a table on the left. The older ones did not look remorseful at all. The third and fourth year did and for Ron he looked terrified.
"Mom's gonna cook his goose if he gets expelled today." Fred snickered.
"She looks like she already has the water boiling."
"You six stand accused of attacking Zen Howlett. A first year no less. What's worse a hate crime targeting all muggle borns." Avery Fitch the newest Slytherin Prefect spoke.
"And you Ronald Weasley I thought with how the rest of your clan acts would have more tact." A fourth year Ravenclaw, by the name of Alice Rose stated. Ron looked down actually a bit ashamed
"Each of you will state your names, guilty or not guilty. If guilty are you remorseful and why you should not be Expelled
The Ex Prefect spoke. "Peirce Mattens. Not guilty. Zen Howlett said she would duel and I just wanted to show the girl her place." Zen frowned
"Adrian Paucy. Not guilty. Just as Pierce said"
"Miles Bletchley not guilty. Same"
"Alex trost." The boy looked down. "But they made me!" He nervously pointed at the older ones. "They said I would be a traitor and treat me as such. Please I don't want to be expelled I'll do anything!" Zen and Aeri felt a bit bad for the boy. He was on the verge of tears.
"Thank you. Step back and you'll receive your sentence soon. He nodded and did as told Hermione looked to the next one
"Tailor Fin. Guilty, but I am not the only one who would attack them if given the chance. They shouldn't be allowed in this world!"
"Terence Higgs. Guilty. I am remorseful and if given the opportunity wish to stay."
"Ron weasley. I.. I guess I'm guilty." The boy shook. "Everything is foggy. Been that way ever since Zen found out my Rat was a man." Aeri's and Zen's eyes widened as others began to talk among themselves. Hermione frowned, but sighed.
"If that is your answer, than you will stand up with those who claim to not be guilty and be judged. Your statement does not give us a clear answer." The four council members talked among each other for a moment, before Avery leaned to the Mic.
"All but Ronald Weasley are found guilty. It is against school rules to have a dual for seven on one and the dual had not started yet. It is also against school rules to target other students.
" Zen Howellet. Harriet Potter and Professor Mcgonagall Mr. and Mrs. Weasley please approach the bench. The five were instantly up and did as directed.
"What do we do Professor? Is he claiming to have been possessed?" Hermione asked a bit confused. Madam Pomfrey walked over.
"The boy never showed to be checked for curses. I just double checked the list. It was optional." Minerva frowned hearing that.
"Would you as parents consent to the boy being checked right now?"
"Are you kidding me? I'm about to skin his hide now for not doing so already." Molly hotly stated
"Please do."
"Ronald Weasley please approach." Minerva called." The boy walked over, but as soon as he was within ten feet of Zen and laid eyes, his emotions turned to anger and charged. The adults were too shocked. Luckily Zen's instincts kicked in. She torqued her body enough to flip him and land on top, Zen quickly bound his hands down by the mystical arts. The crowd began to panic as the adults finally came out of shock. Ron's eyes were glazed
"Ron Weasley!" Molly barked
"You've ruined everything! I'll beat you to an inch of your life, before taking you and Harriet back if it's the last thing I do!" Ron fought against the restraints and actually managed to start pushing passed them. Zens eyes widened, this wasn't him
"I cant hold him!" Aeri started the restraints too. Ron placed his hands upward with a moment.
"Not the only one who knows wandless magic brat. Or do you not see who's really in control at the moment. Shame they figured out about the bindings I placed on you long ago. I could have had you take another life for me." Zen lost concentration and starred. Ron grinned as he blasted her and Aeri. They all flew back and landed on their sides or backs. Aeri automatically got back up with a fighting stance. Zen coughed, from having been struck full force and only able to get to her knees. Ron laughed as he stood, but then tilted his head. "No, I hit you dead on! Should be practically dead" Fred and George step in front of the girls protectively.
"You wouldn't dare use those things on me. Atleast what's needed. After all the boy is still your brother. The twins frowned, as they stood their rolled his eyes and transfigured the wands into rubber ducks. Squeak. They looked to each other, before summoning orange chains. "Ah, I see the cub has found a little pack. Should of ran while you could. I like tearing her down!" Power formed out of his hands.
"No! Run, He'll Kill you!" Zen tried to stand, but felt too weak. The girl than opened a portal. "Take Aeri and go!" George looked back and knew there wouldn't be much time.
"George take her" Fred fired away as George grabbed Aeri and pushed the girl through. Ron grew enraged, and sent another blast sending the two back further.
"Must you always metal in my plans. That does it everyone in this school is dead!" Ron raised his hands.
"Stupify!" Minerva and Severus shouted, finally recovering enough to cast. Ron toppled over. Another portal Opened, with Dr. Strange and Nat rushing through. Quickly he bound Ron in better magical holdings and looked around.
"What the hell just happened?" The Professors just stared for a moment, until Minerva summoned the strength to go into leader mode.
"Everyone who is not hurt or was involved to the dorms now." She turned to Dr. Strange. "The boy was not of his own." Dr. Strange nodded.
"No he wasn't. That wasn't my son talking. Something must be done." Molly cried out. Worry was written all over her face. Arthur wrapped an arm around her waist.
"They'll figure it out." Molly nodded and looked around for her other sons. They saw Fred, hanging on to Zen and rushed rushed over. Minerva along with Stephen did the same.
"Miss Granger, Mr. Longbottom and Mr Strange. Please go up to your dorms." Minerva ordered.
"But!"
"You heard her." Draco looked to Dr. Strange. "I want you safe, Draco and right here might not be. Besides you'll need to be on guard for the other houses. Understand?" The boy sighed, but nodded.
"Fred dear are you alright? Where are your brothers and Harriet?" She knelt down to hug him.
"George is back at my place with Aeri. Both are safe." Dr. Strange knelt down to check over Zen. Her breath was raspy, skin pale and looked tired. Fred only a little better.
"Percy went to take the others up." Fred answered "Is Zen going to be alright?"
"Miraculously yes." Strange placed his hands over. They began to glow as he guided them along her chi points.
"It wasn't him, Stephen. An evil spirit. He knew my past. It was Mordo or someone he worked with. He was after Aeri, but I don't understand, why."
"Easy, it's over for now, just lay there." He looked over to Minerva. "How did things play out?"
"They were holding court a court. It was Ron's turn to explain what he had done. The boy claimed things were foggy and had been many times over past month. We had him come up to be checked for possession. Everything was fine until the two locked eyes and went straight for her."
"Sounds like some kind of proximity activation. The boy had no control at all. Probably at first, but the longer the curse is in, the more power they have over the person."
"Then he's not responsible for attacking last week?" Molly asked with a bit of relief.
"No, but somebody or something did and got the others to go along with it." Dr. Strange moved to Fred and began healing him as Natasha helped Zen to a chair.
"You fought him off? Not bad little one."
"Had help, but its my fault others were hurt." Zen looked to the floor.
"No, you're what eleven. Fought way better than others could." Zen shook her head at Nat's compliment.
"I couldn't hold him. Aeri stepped into help, but then he began to talk. " Zen stopped for a moment. "Said something only a few would know. I lost concentration and he took advantage." Nataha warmly smiled.
"You act just like my daughter. Head strong with the weight of everyone. I think you two would be good friends. When you do good, I bet humble yet excited, but when you mess up, it's the end of the world. Feeling like the worst person ever." Zen nodded sadly.
"I'll tell you what I tell her. Get over it!" Zen looked up to see Natasha smirking. "You messed. Nothing can be done now! Prepare for the next thing ahead. Figure out how to not to make the same mistake. In battle there is no room for emotion."
"Only to focus."
"Cannot show weakness. Only hear what they have to say when they are secured." Zens face straightened into her normal get them face. "You did exactly what was needed to after. Messed up his plans by getting the subject out and alerted the best person could be thought of. Not only that, but chose good allys and demonstrated teamwork. Learn from the mistakes made, but take this as a win. Junior Avenger" Zen smirked and Nodded. Dr. Strange glared
"I heard that! Don't you dare let.."
"Junior Avenger ready to get back in it. Hear that Fred, she called us Junior Avengers! We gotta come up with Names!" Dr. Strange groaned as Zen started bubbling about.
"Nat your was with kids is astounding." Dr. Strange shook his head as fred picked up the rubber duckys. Quack
"Awesome, but could I have my wand turned back. Kind of need it for class." Zen's stomach tightened and had the best laugh she had in awhile. The others did too. Even Dr. Strange couldn't help but snicker as he turned the duck back into wands. Soon afterwards, Ron was taken to the infirmary and isolated. Zen ported Fred, Nat and Dr. Strange to their common room. Stephen then opened one for George Aeri and Clint to come through. The others came out and all hugged each other.
"Whoa cool cib." Barton excitedly looked around. The other two just shook their heads
"Yep the kids have got it made, yet I still keep finding them at my doorstep." He joked, before looking them over one more time.
"You'd be lonely if we didn't and you know that." Zen stuck her tongue out, before holding a small bag. "Er found this. It's a danger. Pretty, but it shouldn't stay here." Dr. Strange Eyed her and looked into the bag. The man quickly shut it.
"Where?" Zen winced at the lecture about to be received
"We thought it be cool to see the big dog and it was calling for Zen to help. Asgardians can here what they were saying." Fred started.
"Not much can be done when we think something is cool or needs our help. Zen had them fed and such." George continued.
"In return they told us something Dumbledore was hiding." Aeri
" Used a portal and grabbed it. Never even stepped in." Draco
"We were going to tell Professor Mcgonagall;, but then that happened." Hermione stated as
Neville nodded. Zen was surprised to hear them backing her up. Funny thing was all the statements were pretty much true.
"I see, well good job on bringing this to me." Strange and Clint had fully brought it. Natasha shot them a look, saying she new it wasn't the full truth. The woman didn't say anything though.
"Hmph I see. I'll let Professor Mcgonagall know, that it was retrieved."
"Ok, can you tell her the Cerberus isn't a danger. He'll protect the school until we can get him back home." Natasha's and Stephens Jaws dropped at Zen's comment. Clint grew a bit confused."
"What's a Cerberus?" Zen grew an evil smirk and opened a portal to show." They looked and froze.
"That's Vash Aeros and Auren." Zen Giggled.
"Enough pets Zen. No.. No.. No"
"Aw come on. We're going to make a collars for them, so they can shrink." Dr Strange shook his head. "I am going to go have a chat with Professor Mcgonagall… just stay safe." They left, leaving only the kids who bursted out in laughter. Zen turned to Fred and hugged him.
"Thanks for backing me up, all of you."
"It's what we do." Fred ruffled her hair. The girl nodded and looked over to Aeri.
"Hope you're not mad for having you sent through."
"I was upset, but more worried about you. All though George calmed me down and explained why it had been the best move."
"There were big mistakes made, but we're going to make sure this never happens again. We've taken training too lightly. There is a wonderful object in this room and I say use it to our full advantage. We enter the chamber of time once a day here and use it as long as possible to learn everything we can. To the meeting room!"
Meeting room
Ten minutes later
The group were all seated , paper and dinner The elves had prepared for them were spread out. Alight everyone the last few weeks, I've been melding your minds to think out of the box and to be more open. Now it's time for us to go in depth and truely come together. For that we need ideas from all of us.. We have the chamber of time, how are we going to use it?" Zen asked and took a spoon full of soup. Hermione was the first to speak.
"Complete all school years of hogwarts. If we do that inside, than we will have more time to do things on the outside. It could be done within a few weeks. "
"Not a bad idea. We can do that with regular schooling." Aeri agreed.
"Yeah, we can learn how to make our own tech."
"Weapons and how to get to space." The twins fist pumped,
"Learning herbal and medical stuff wouldn't be so bad." Neville brought up.
"Potions and focusing on our powers too." Aeri said.
"Good ideas. Strengthening up in the mystical arts, legitamins, and animagus are must needs".
"You just want to be more animals to scare the crap out of Stephen." Aeri stated, making Zen laugh. "Going through the hogwarts vault and learning how our stuff could be used."
"And the twins will need to prepare their hogwarts business." The two looked to Draco for a moment and then to the girls.
"What business? Zen?"
"Aeri?"
"Draco?!" The three laughed
"Well, we plan to revamp the schools technology, among certain 'others things'. Your salesmen, thick and through." Aeri grinned
"You'll be paid and earn your money. Now you can't complain we're buying it. Aeri tell them the other part."
"We plan on taking the tech to all of European communities and want your father to head it."
"Hard work, but he'll have vacation to spend with everyone." Draco smiled
"Enough money to expand the burough. Sturdier things for your brothers and sisters." Zen took a piece of bread."
"This isn't charity or anything like that."
"Just like everyone here we don't want you guys to ever worry about those kinds of things again." Zen looked nervously to Fred. Their faces were blank for a moment and then pounced on the girls.
"We.. we don't know what to say." George explained to Aeri
"Or how to repay you three."
"Well helping us learn magic would be a start." Draco smirked
"Just be your selves." Aeri hugged back. So did Zen.
"We want you two to head a supply shop. In return we'll pay you guys and buy anything you guys want to learn. Once out of Hogwarts, we'll fund you a business or help with whatever you guys desire. Let's get supplies ready
The next few weeks were busy yet peaceful. First task was to come up with a team and code names. To be thought of as junior Avengers for now was cool, but something needed to set them as their own entities. Best one could come up with was the Riddari Of Midgard. They then chose their code names. Hermione chose Mercury from her favorite anime, Zen became fylgja meaning animal spirit, Aeri became vinranke meaning vine in norwegian, Fred became antara for mayhem and george became kako for mischief in greek. Draco became Drage Norwegian for dragon and Neville became Terra roman translation for Earth.
They started to use the chamber of time to practice and learn. The Cerberus got three new collars, allowing him to run around. Ron had the curses taken away and back into class. The group patched things up, but the boy found friends with seamus and a few others. He was acquitted. Two of the boys were given probation and the other three were expelled. Zen started a defence club a couple times a week and the others helped her teach when having the goodness too, because many had signed up.
By the time october thirty-first came around, The twins were far passed Hogwarts studies. The girls were probably around sixth or seventh year. The other two around fifth year. Their legitamins and oclemency were top notch. Not many people would be able to get through. The boys were at least up to sixth grade level in muggle muggle courses. Tenth grade when it came to science. Aeri and Zen were about twelfth and Hermione was clearly into college level. The group were far more advanced into the Mystical arts with the help of Dr. Strange.
Draco had made a few robots and Neville had many herbal remedies. Aeri had become an expert in potions. The twins weren't so bad either, but used most of that knowledge to pull pranks. Hermione had years of plans written down for them and many campaigns she wanted to run. The group was making progress and found their inner animal. Zen was further and had managed to change into a husky or tiger.
She had found an asgardian book on the types of powers one could inherit. It was clear Zen had inherited the animal spirit and eventually would be able to shift into them, including mystical ones. Aeri found she was was more adept in nature life, could talk to the plants and have them do as the girl asked. Aeri was also better in learning wizarding and the small amount of asgardian magic. That was fine by Zen, they both had their own strengths and were becoming equally matched. Zen loved the she was finally receiving a kids never aged in there, but their bodies did change from working out
Professor Mcgonagall sat in on a few history classes and couldn't Believe it Bins was just in his own world. The ghost floated in, went to the chalkboard and started the class. She tried telling him she was there to watch, yet it never did anything.. The woman continued the next couple times, before coming to conclusion he wasn't fully there. Minerva wound up replacing him a week later with a temporary one. In a new class room of course. Everyone really liked her.
October 31st
Morning
Most were excited for the feast tonight. The twins were telling the others about what kind of food and the kind of pranks they liked to pull. Zen and Aeri were just not in the mood. The two were sitting on their beds, waiting for the others. It took a few moments, but finally the twins sat by them.
"Why the long faces?" George aske Aeri. Fred nodded and poked Zen.
"Yeah, thought you guys would be the most excited to cause mischief and mayhem." Aeri sighed.
"My parents were.." Aeri could barely finish the sentence
"I was left at the temple." The twins hugged them, before smiling.
"Then I know this would be the best way to honor them."
"Or to get shout to the world you're still here.
"Besides we've been to lax with the pranks." They looked to the twins and gave a few nods.
"Never looked at it that way." Aeri smiled.
"What do you think fylgja." Zen smirked.
"Chaos time" AHHHH!" Hermione shouted from the bathroom, making the other two girls run in and the boys right outside.
"What's wrong Moine? Oh.." Aeri's eyes grew wide.
"Well looks like that fear of heights is going to have to go bye bye." Zen remarked. Beautiful brown and white hawk wings were flexed behind Hermione's back.
"Guess codename Mercury was a good choice."
"Haha, glad you can make light of this."
"Everything ok in there?" Draco asked from behind the door.
"Yeah, it just seems like somebody's got a feathery situation. We'll be out in a minute."
"Ok, crystal claw girl." Hermione sighed while toying with the feathers. "Oih what am I going to do?"
"Well first gotta figure out how it happened, but this is totally you, Moine." Aeri smirked while lightly petting them.
"Were you working on your animagus form?"
"No, I just woke up like this." Zen thought for a moment.
"Well I have claws and somewhat crystallized skin. Others have had some abnormalities from the mutant gene."
"And your abilities do seem birdlike."
"So the two of you are claiming this is a mutation?" They shrugged.
"A very lovely one." Aeri commented, making Hermione sigh.
"What am I going to do?" Zen smirked and took off her ring. Her pink hair was now visible to everyone and traces of crystal were embedded into her skin. Aeri got the gist and wrapped herself with vines and flower.
"Trans figure your clothes for the wings to fit. Were going to dress up and for now on, we are going to be our real selves here. If the others don't like it, too bad." Hermione gave a thankful nod to her.
"Boys dress up halloween style!" Aeri called out. Ten minutes later everyone was ready. Fred had symbols of Maham, George, mischief, draco dressed as a komodo dragon and Neville somewhat resembled Groot. The best part they were all still in uniform.
"You guys are the best!" Hermione Stated.
"Wow, Moine are those real?" Draco examined them. The girl's eyes widened and blushed. His touch felt soft with another feeling the girl couldn't quite understand. "Beautiful."
"Thankyou."
"Now let's go set pranks up everywhere." First came the stairs. They transfigured them into slides on one and seats to take them up. The walls were turned into fun house themes. Top of the stairs, bottoms and corner of halls had bowls of candy. Some were regular ones and other would have something grab you for a moment. They placed jump scares about with different monsters or creatures. It would proceed to take pictures of the reactions. Carnival games were set up for everyone to play and prizes would appear at the end. They transfigured the dining room to look like a gingerbread house and had scary movies play when class was not in session. The group also placed cameras everywhere and watched on their tablets. Soon the students and staff trickled out. Screams, laughter, looks of confusion and fun began.
"Hah, never seen crab move so fast in my life." Draco commented
"Goyle just got caught by one of the candy hands." Neville laugh.
"Professor Mcgonagall just got kittyfied." Zen could barely keep in her seat.
"Professor Snape just got painted like a snake!" Aeri exclaimed.
"Weasleys!"
For a moment they dreaded the thought of what he was going to do, but finally turned back into laughter.
"Tonks just figured out what a slip and slide was." Hermione snickered
"Guys, teachers are coming. Draco alerted the group. Quickly they put the tech away and went to innocently eating. Both Minerva and Snape stormed in. Eyes went straight to the group and walked over.
"Hi." Zen wazed to the unamused looking teachers.
"Hi. I don't suppose your dolled up group knows anything about this?" Professor Mcgonagall asked. Through her pink hair and cat face. Zen turned to the others and back again.
"Nope." Snickers could be heard from all.
"Or why I have been painted as a snake and hair turned to green?"
"One of us. One of us.. One of us." The troup began shouting. Snape growled, before walking away. There was no proof it was them and secretly that comment had touched him a bit.. Professor Mcgonagall smirked.
"Well those responsible should be commended. Rather funny. Just hope they don't go on during class time."
"Probably not." Aeri shrugged.
"Good." The moment the professor left they were back to watching everyone else.
Hall way
Right before dinner
Aeri and Zen ran up to Dr stranger and gave warm hugs as usual. He smirked while hugging back. "Love what you guys have done with the place."
"Thanks. We put a lot of effort into it" Aeri stated.
"Nice costumes as well."
"Er, mine and Zins are actually real." Hermione commented while looking to them. His eyes raised a bit, and felt them.
"Fascinating." Zen handed him a piece of candy.
"Here, I know it's your favorite." His face filled up with delight, before unwrapping it and put it in his mouth. Instantly his face turned into a lion, making the kids snicker.
"What?"
"Oh nothing just been an amusing day. Did you come for dinner?" Zen asked excitedly.
"Had some time and didn't want to miss our first halloween together. That's if you're not embarrassed." The three shook their heads.
"Course not." An evil grin appeared on Zens face.
"It's actually my first halloween I get to celebrate with family." Aeri stated
"Or do something with my new father." Draco grinned. Stephen pulled him closer.
"Come on let's go get seats. Lion-o." Zen led on. gave a look, but followed. They found a spot and showed him some of the videoes. Next what pranks were currently being pulled. A bit later Minerva walked over."
"Ah, I see you've decided to join us tonight."
"Yeah, lovely kitty look."
"Thankyou. Interesting costume you have too."
"Thanks.. Wait what." Dr. Strange transfigured a mirror. He gasped.
"Zen Howellet- Strange- Odinsdottir and all the other titles you may have!" He growled and turned to the girl. All but the two bursted out laughing. Zen was zoned on the tablet, giving a grave face. "What have you done?" The man was about to continue lecturing, but saw she was rather disturbed about something. "Zen?" The girl pushed the tablet towards the adults and pointed towards professor Quirrell and the huge cage. The man stopped close to the dungeons, walked a bit away, poofed the cage out and walked calmly towards the dining hall. Quirl stopped at the doors for a moment, as if preparing for an act. Minerva gasped as Dr. Strange frowned. "And There's the proof."
"Excuse me." Dr. Strange headed to the and the children followed. "And what do you your doing?"
"Taking care of the troll." Aeri smirked
"We want to watch." The twins declared
"Absolutely not!"
"We'll you're not going to kill it! Plus you'll need a big portal. You don't even know where its habitat is! Want to be responsible for muggles finding it?" Zen shot.
"You said it was family night! What better way to bond through a family activity." Draco added, making the man turn around to see puppy dog faces."
"Crap! Ugh hate it when you three do that. Fine, but under my supervision." They smiled continuing to the door. opened it just as Quirl was about to burst in. He stopped, gawked at his face and fell out of his act.
"Wha?" Dr. Strange snapped his fingers and the man disappeared.
"Now who can tell me what I just did?"
"Sent him to a never ending void." Dr. Strange nodded at Draco.
"Correct it will trap him and destroy any entity in the." They found the troll, entering the girls bathroom. "Alright, you three here and you four there. Dr. Strange went to the middle." Hey!" He shouted, making the troll turn around. Rawer!" It ran toward him. "Now!" He shouted. It disappeared right before clobbering him. Dr. Strange let the air he held out and gave a relieved sigh."Good, definitely have that down pat." Stephen turned to look at them. "Who's up for trick or treating?"
"Yes!"
Avengers tower
November 2
The fridge opened as a hand reached in for a beer. "Who's effing apple juice?"A low growell came from logan as he slammed it. That familiar scent was everywhere. It was faint, yet proceeded to drive the man insane. Worst part he didn't know why the feeling of wanting to hold the person, more likely a child and never let them go again. Wolverine used a claw to take the cap off and began drinking. The scent grew stronger, but it wasn't the one. Logan turned around to see Stephen.
"Strange, what are you doing here? And why do you have that smell around you too?" Dr. Strange narrowed his eyes.
"Not sure what you're talking about, but I just came here to drop off some plans to Stark. Rough night?"
"Those frickin scents who are they?" Logan brought out his claws again. Dr. Strange raised his hands slowly. "Ok, just take a breath."
"Whoa guys, I just refurbished the kitchen. Please don't ruin it." Tony Stated while while starting to make rum and coke.
"Argh It's on you too. Who has been running around?" Strange finally seemed to get it.
"Are you talking about my kids?" He asked while handing Tony a few documents.
"You have kids for how long?
"A month or so." Strange shrugged while sitting. Stark joined him and began reading through.
"Those files I gave them, helping?"
"He's barely put them down."
"Who are these kids how old?" Dr. Strange frowned and looked over.
"Around eleven. Why ever have any?"
"No.. at least I don't think so." Logan looked to his beer. "Lost my memory about nine and a half years ago." Dr. Strange seemed a bit more convinced they may be related. Tony looked Wolverines way and finally realized a few familiarities to Zen. Which was weird she also looked related to Thor as well.
"Is that why you stay at that school Logan missing a kid. Would be Ironic." Logan growled at Tony.
"Who the hell would stay that long with me anyways to have one?"
"Doesn't take that long to make one."
"Ain't that stupid Bub." Logan growled again.
"What would you do if you did? Say you had a child out there? Exactly like you. A daughter by chance?" Logan looked down as Stephen asked. "Would you want her?" The man thought.
"I wouldn't know the first thing about being a father."
"Well none of the kids at the institute have died. Think they'd be ok." Stark laughed
"Haha. If they were happy, I'd leave her there. She deserves something way better than I could ever give."
"What if he or she wanted father in their life. If they strived to have that closure. What if it could possibly save them from doing reckless things."
"Very personal things to ask." Dr. Strange shrugged.
"I'm a new adoptive father. Pretty much on my own. Just curious how others would raise them."
"Not the best person to Ask. I don't know. Guard them, love them in my own way. Protect them, teach them how to protect themselves. Heaven forbid a boy came along." Strange gave half a laugh. Poor twins came upon his minds.
"But you would want them?" Logan frowned.
"I have nothing in my life, Of course I would." Dr. Strange nodded. "What are their names?" His phone began to ring
"Um, heh. Gotta take this." Strange ported out.
"Gotta learn how he does that." Stark commented.
"Yeah." Logan reached over for the bottle, but it was gone. "He took my beer."
"Huh, thought he was clasier. Unless." He trailed off.
"Unless what?" Tony gave a hesitant smile.
"Uh gotta get these processed." Tony began to walk out.
"Stark!" Logan chased after him.
The burrow
November Third
Dr. Strange met up with his three kids and the twins." Wow this is your guy's house, so cool and look at the area to play around." The twins smiled at Aeri's reaction as the three started walking up. Meanwhile Zen's eyes narrowed at the ma.
"You ok, kid?" Zen fiddled with her ear and bit her lip.
"That scent on your hand." Dr. Strange looked to it, then remembered touching the bottle before he had left.
"We'll talk later come on." Dr. Strange led her inside where Molly was hugging her sons.
"What are you two doing here. Wait how did you?"
"A complicated answer, but do not fret I'll return them to school later. Is your husband home?" The woman nodded.
"Ginny, go get your father."
"Yes mother."
"Would you all like some tea?"
"Yes, Please." Dr. Strang and the kids followed her to the table.
"Forgive the mess, wasn't planning on visitors."
"Not a problem. Your home is lovely."
"Thank you." Arthur came in with a confused look.
"Boys? What are you doing here?" They smiled.
"Because of us sir. We need to have a chat if ou to have time." Aeri answered.
"Anything for Harriet Potter. Ginny why don't you go play."
"But mom, I want to stay please. I won't be a bother." The kids looked to each other for a moment.
"It's ok Mrs. Weasley. She'll find out sooner or later." Molly sighed Zen's comment and motioned for her to sit by them.
"You two may want to as well." The twins stated. The two confused adults did as asked.
"We ask for you three to keep this on the hush hush for now, but Zen and I are heirs of Hogwarts." All three gasped.
"We are also asgardians." Zen continued. Molly dropped her glass, making it shatter upon the floor.
"How?" Molly asked, trying to compose herself.
"My father and her mother."
"James was Asgardian?"
"Er, no. Not sure on the full details. Apparently, he adopted me. Loki is my biological father." Eyes widened further as Molly and Arthur began to bow.
"No, no please don't." They rushed to get them back up as Zen urged.
"Parents of our boyfriends needn't do that."Aeri laughed Molly looked between the four.
"Boyfriends?" Molly asked as the twins who blushed. "The two of you better be treating them right."
"They are, Mrs. Weasley." Zen giggled
"Is that what you lot came here. To announce your love?"
"Er no." Draco just shook his head. The group settled again.
"We've come to ask something of you Mr. Weasley." Aeri Replied.
"They tell us, that you're fascinated with muggle stuff." Zen continued. The man nodded nodded enthusiastically.
"Thanks to here. The code between magic and technology has been cracked." Aeri then handed all three phone
"You can call us with these, among other many things. One of our many goals are getting technology to everyone." Draco smirked.
"But need someone to head the company. Dr. Strange has other responsibilities. We need the best next person on the magical side." Zen sipped her tea as all turned to Mr. Weasley.
"Me?" The man asked with a shocked face.
"Bingo." Draco confirmed.
"Good pay, any schooling your children wish will be paid for as long good grades are maintained. We'll find you a good assistant, so you may have vacation two weeks during the holidays and two weeks in the summer to spend with your family. Any courses the two of you wish may be taken, along with many other benefits."
"Oh, you must take this opportunity dear. It sounds so lovely." Molly hugged the man. He was frozen and speechless. "Arthur?
"You three just broke our dad?" The twins laughed as Mr. Weasley passed out.
"Arthur!" It was a full five minutes came too."
"Molly, dear. I just had a livid- amazing dream." The woman shook her head.
"It wasn't a dream. They're in the living room, waiting an answer."
"Oh in that case.." The man passed out yet again. She sighed. Eventually the man came too and was able to converse. Dr. Strange went over more detail and they came to an agreement. Zen and Aeri got to know Ginny while the boys went outside to play. A few hours later they said their goodbyes and walked out.
"You four head back to school. Zen needs to come with me for a bit."
"It's okay guys. Go help the other two with the defence club." Zen let strange port them to a lab.
"Where are we?" A man in a lab coat looked over, giving a nervous smile, before raising his eyebrows.
"She looks just like.." Dr. strange put a hand up.
"I know.
"And..
"Yes, I know." Zen looked up to Dr. Strange.
"Why don't you got sit down on the examination bed. This is Dr. Banner. We just want to do a small check up and a hereditary test." Zen stepped back a bit.
"Wait, why?" Zen gazed over at the man's hand. "Is that my fathers scent?" Dr. Strange knelt down. "I'm not going to lie. He could be. I know him a bit, not such a bad guy. Remember the inheritance said he had amnesia." Zen nervously nodded. "He's lost his. Doesn't know anything before about nine and a half years ago." Zen frowned. "The man smelled you on me and around the Avengers tower. Been driving him insane."
"So, if he is are you just going to pass me off?" The adults were taken back for a moment. Dr. Strange pulled her in.
"Of course not. I've adopted you, I'll always be here. Not going to get rid of me that easily, but this is your father. You deserve to know and get some kind of closure. If you decide to have him in your life we'll work something out. Do you want to do the test." Zen kept quiet or a moment.
"Ok." Dr. Strange led her over and helped her sit.
"So your name is Zen right?" Dr. Banner came over, just trying to start up conversation and get some information.
"Yeah, Master Wong gave it to me."
"I see, so eleven. Huh no offence, but look a bit younger than that. Probably cause of parents." He started to feel around her throat and adenoids. "When's your birthday?"
"They estimated April or May." Zin tilted her head, smelling two different scents. No warning bells went off. Neither seemed Evil, one just a bit more primal. Zen lightly placed a hand on his and gazed into Banners eyes. The hulk stared back and smiled. Bruce grew confused.
"She can smell scents. Probably smells the hulk. Has a tendency of collecting the oddest pets. Even turned her friend into half of one."
"Hey, did not." Stephen snickered, receiving a frown.
"Hey, I found a real life Lion-o. Want to see?" Zen brought her phone out as Dr. Strange realized what the girl was about to do.
"Don't you dare. Erase those right now."
"No!" Dr. Banner gave a small laugh, seeing the man finally getting the phone. Strange growled seeing a password was needed to delete them.
"I see, well I think he likes you too. Haven't felt him this calm in ages." Dr. Banner took her wrist to feel her pulse. It was a bit odd, but didn't say anything and went to check her heart beat. "So, what grade are you in?" Zen had to think of that.
"Plan on taking college entrance exams soon."Banner looked to Strange.
"Its complicated, but sher and her friends are really smart. Half from a thing they use. Some of them though like Zen pick up on things easier than should be."
"I see. Speaking of which, mind if we explore a bit of your talents. I'd like to have Aeri here too, Dr. Strange. Just to verify a couple things."
"I'll be back." Dr. Strange ported out, leaving the two their and her phone on the table. Zen took it back.
"So, before he comes, this is Lion-o." Banner gave a laugh.
"Got some good blackmail don't you?" Zen, snickered. "Tony would never let that go. So tell me how do you feel, day to day life?" Zen shrugged.
"Okay, I guess. My body's been feeling a bit funky. Head, stomach and joints. Just probably over doing it with working out." Banner checked her ears, temperature and throat. "Sounds like a growth spurt. I wouldn't worry about it so much." Zen nodded as the Aeri and Dr. Strange ported in.
"Aeri this is Dr. Bruce Banner. He's letting us use his lab to make sure you two are healthy and test a few things." They shook hands, before he guided her to another table ." He checked the girls pulse. Relief came to his face when both girls seemed to have the same heart rates and temperatures for the most part.
"What about you Aeri, how do you feel?" The girl smiled.
"A lot better then I use to. Think I'm growing. Clothes are a bit tighter and shorter."
"Sounds like the both of you are." Bruce walked back to Zen with a swab and a container. "Just need a swab of your mouth and going to do the same for Aeri. Will you two be okay with some blood tests and X-rays" They nodded as he got the swabs and let some tests run while pulling out a few needles and test tubes. He went to Aeri first and pushed to penetrate the skin. Instead it just bent. "Heh, no worries. Not the first one, and will not be the last." He walked back over to a cabinet and pulled out a needle saying asgard. It was no bigger, just a sharper edge. "Their we go. " Aeri barely felt it going in, but felt a bit odd. "Better than some of the adults who come through. All done."
Bruce gave her a cooky and some juice, before walkingover to Zen. "Guessing you're thick skinned as well. She nodded, before he took the needle in and began running. Everything was fine, then her face scrunched up. "Hey, just a little bit more."
"Hurts." Dr. banner looked back over to see the skin around had healed and trying to connect. The Doctors looked to each other for a moment.
"And that thought of them being related just occurred to you now?" Bruce quickly took the rest of the blood and got it out of her.
"Hey,I had a thought from time to time. Different names though." Aeri gave a confused face.
"Alight, Zen your in the machine first. Just lay down and try to relax. Want to take Aeri on the other, Dr. Strange?"
"Sure.
"Just try to relax and don't move a lot." Banner pressed some buttons and began taking several X-rays along some pictures of her brain. What he found made him mind blown. The crystal was not only in her bones, but her brain was covered in it. "Dr. Strange?" The man walked over to him and looked at the computer.
"Her too especially where she's had injuries. Aeri has some kind of stone around hers. Have you ever had the chance of looking at an asgard like this before.
"Yeah thor after he's been drinking to much or something."
"Dad?" A ten year old, trailed in as they were helping the girls out of the machines. The girls looked to see a skinny boy, black hair , blue eyes with glasses.
"Yes, Aj?"
"I finished my homework, would it be ok if I play video games for a bit." Dr. Banner smiled.
"If you take these two with you."
"Come on, I'll show you my room." The three left the doctors at it.
"Sweet girls you have there."
"Can be a handful, but yeah."
"No kidding Lion-o." Stephen glared at him, before looking at the swab samples. "What's it showing." Dr. Strange sighed.
"A confirmation of what we already more than likely knew." He sighed, before looking at Aeri's blood sample.
"Zen told me she was eating better and Aeri looks healthier, but her protein intake and iron is off."
"Zen's is too. They might not even know it. How much do they eat a day?"
"It seems they're eating at least three times a day. Pretty big portions, but I don't know."
"We're thinking in human portions. Asgardians eat more when they are here and food there is a bit different.
"Huh your right. Zen's has always been off."
"They're aging slower, than other kids, but growing a bit at the same time. When you brought Zen in first glance she couldn't be older than nine. Aeri, younger."
"Must be the Asgardian part."
"Now, how are they Asdardian again?"
"Loki is Aeri's biological father. A woman named Angela is Zen's mother."
"Oh, does he know?"
"Can't get a hold of him." Dr. Banner thought for a moment, before digging into a drawer. "This will at least gain Thor's attention."
"Thanks, beside's Furry is still hammering us about those weapons that can't be moved."
"Tell me about it not even I could. They do look like asdardian ones.. Do you think the girls could?"
"They might be able to, but trying to keep them off Furry's radar as much as possible or any radar. Heaven forbid Hydra or secret organizations gets a hold of them."
"In the meantime have them take these and have them write down what they eat, the amount of working out and along with other important things. You're welcome to use my lab and I'll help you with whatever. We'll figure out a good balance. Once Thor is brought in on this and Loki we can figure out how to keep them healthy. It was a ruff run with A.j.j as well."
Xavier institute
Logan barged into the office to see Professor X chatting with Scout and Kitty. "Out, now!" The professor gave a slight frown, but nodded to the two.
"Go, We'll continue later." The teens excited. "Logan."
"Can it. You lied to me." He pounded his fist against the table. "What's worse is you conversing with another person who has a girl, just like me. I've had nightmares for years of things. A wife and baby. Claimed you couldn't see the past in my mind, but I've had different flashes for years!" Professor Xavier sighed and closed his eyes.
"You're right. I saw them. How much you had loved and cared. They changed you for the better and for once you had a home, but it wasn't on Earth. You're wife was from another realm and brought the two of you to a more uncharted peaceful world. Soon after you found your niece and new family to be in trouble. The three of you came back and were going to take them to the world your wife had discovered. Something happen and they were ripped away. Your wife was limp possibly dead and daughter I had presumed the same fate. It destroyed you. You did reckless things and things later regretted it. You became depressed and living was unbearable. One day people came for you. Fended yourself off, but with a last breath got shot in the head and lost your memory." Wolverine was speechless as he collapsed on to a chair.
"I did have a child. I abandoned her."
"No Logan you didn't know."
"She been going years who knows where. All alone. Probably thinking I hated her!" The man growled with a sigh. "It's no excuse. I should never have forgotten. What's worse is the person I trusted never reminded me.
"I never wanted you to have to go through that pain!"
"How is it any different from now! My life is no better. I've been alone this whole time. Yes the kids get to me some, but now I find it's because I was trying to make up for something!"
"But you care for these kids and have a place here."
"No more I don't." Logan stood. "I care for the kids, but cannot trust you."
"Where are you going?"
"To be a part of my daughter's life!"
November Sixth
An Area of fields
Dr. Strange walked to the center, activated the button and threw it down. He then ran several feet. Nothing happened. Birds kept chirping and remained a normal day. "Well…" The man sighed as he sat. "Always a late entrance." He began to meditate and float. Ten minutes later lightning struck and thunder roared. Rain poured down, leaving Stephen soaked. More lightning struck and finally thud. The rain and clouds cleared. He shivered. "Was that necessary."
"Banner!" Thor called, climbing out of the now ten foot crater. Wait your not Banner. You're that artsy guy!"
