Chapter 11
"Harry, do we need to be teaching Jean how to read and write?" MJ asked as she greeted Harry with a hug in the Infirmary a few days later.
"Nah, all her memories will come back to her including her education as she gets older. Just spend as much time as you like playing with her and having fun with her."
"When will she remember being an adult?" MJ asked. "When will she realise who and what she is?"
"About two to four weeks time, around age fourteen. Age sixteen she gets… horny." Harry chuckled.
"She seems to be about two or three at the moment. The Cuckoos grabbed her as soon as we arrived." She smiled.
"They are revelling in their emotions." Harry laughed. "And everyone else's."
"How's Laura?"
"She's… learning, I guess. The others are staying close to her, Cessily is taking her out tonight for coffee."
"Why aren't you spending time with them?" She asked.
"Well… apparently I smell really good… as a result it makes her smell really good and then Logan gets all protective."
"Huh?"
"She is physically attracted to me, it turns her on. Which Logan can tell… we have plenty of wood chips out back now."
"Oh… Oh!" MJ giggled as she blushed. "Why don't you just take her on a date?"
"I will, in a day or so when things settle down and she gets to grips with herself."
"What Harry isn't telling you is that Laura jumped him when she woke up that evening. I had to zap Laura on the butt to get her off him." Amara laughed as she walked in.
"How are things up stairs?" Harry asked.
"Tense. Bobby and Alex are both being moody and Lorna is about ready to declare war on them."
"What? Why?" MJ asked.
"Because they both wanted Lorna and were getting competitive over her."
Harry sighed. "I keep telling them that they can both date her as well if she is agreeable. If I can have a relationship with multiple women then why can't the women have relationships with multiple men?"
"I think they need to get used to the idea." Mary Jane suggested. "Anyway, I have a question about your soul bonds. If you can bond with the Triplets, who are apparently a Phoenix, why didn't you bond with Jean?"
Harry had a deer in the headlights expression. He suddenly grabbed their arms and dragged them into the office where he locked and sealed the door and cast a privacy charm.
"Alright, so you figured out a little flaw. But the reason is a secret, not life threatening, just not mine to tell. But it will bug you if you don't know and I know you can keep a secret.
"Jean already has a soul mate she is bonded to."
"Really! Logan?" Amara asked.
"Huh? No! Why would you think it was him?"
"There were rumours about those two having a tempestuous affair." She said dramatically.
"Erm… well, no. Scott of course. But she doesn't want them to know until Emma and Scott have accepted her."
"But what will happen when Scott dies? Won't she go mad?"
"She'll bond with me then, or I'll bond her to someone else." Harry shrugged.
"Wow… that…"
"Sounds like a tragic romance that only the bards could dream of?"
"I would say Hollywood Hacks would be more accurate." MJ snorted. "Anyway, I was hoping you could do something about this Superhero Registration Act, Tony and the others are pressuring Peter, but we all know what will happen if he goes public."
"I don't believe reasoning with them would help." Harry sighed. "The bigots are using this as an excuse to get more info on mutants and other 'freaks' and Tony is pretty damned fanatical."
"But-"
"How would you like to take an extended vacation, you and everyone but Peter?" Harry asked suddenly. "It won't be anywhere fancy, pretty much staying here, but you wouldn't be able to contact anyone."
"Explain."
"The only way to get through to them is for them to be responsible for their actions. We will tell Peter to reveal his identity to the world anyway they want him to. I will create replicas of yours and Pete's family whilst you stay here in safety. When the attack comes I will ram the blame down their throats."
"But then Aunt May and I won't be able to ever leave without being targets, everyone will know who Spiderman is."
"He can revoke the knowledge. You think I didn't account for ex-boyfriends and abusive husbands when I created the Lily Charm?" Harry asked with a pointed smile.
"What will we tell Peter?"
"We'll have to tell him the truth, but we can also hide the truth in a Fidelius Charm. No one will suspect anything. And when Peter revokes the knowledge, no one will realise you are supposed to be injured.
"You are sure they will come after you?"
"100% positive." She said firmly.
"Then go and let him know and we can set it all up."
"You're doing great Jess."
"I'll give you a dollar if you stop saying that, Carol!"
"But you are."
"Doc, can't you do something for the pain, she doesn't really need-"
"Last time I offered she threatened to rip my balls off… I don't care how quick they grow back it still bloody well hurts!" Harry scowled at the anxious expectant father.
Luke had teleported in frantically when Jessica had gone into labour not 48 hours after Harry agreed to deliver the baby. The X-Mansion was now housing most of the Avengers, even Steve and Tony where getting along.
"How much longer then?"
"Maybe a half an hour."
"Oh god."
"You are such a – gnnnn – wuss!" Jessica said through gritted teeth.
"Erm, Jess, there's a reporter outside, says she's a friend and that you gave her the rights to an exclusive?" Steve asked as he came back in to the infirmary still in uniform.
Luke and Jessica shared a look. "Your call." Luke said.
"Someone get me a phone."
In short order an angry and in pain Jessica Jones was on the phone screaming at J. Jonah Jameson.
"What the hell is that about?" Harry asked Steve.
"Jessica did promise the exclusive but Jameson published a scathing and derogatory article about the Avengers and Luke. Don't you read the papers?"
"I really don't have the time. The girls usually fill me in on the important stuff." Harry said.
"Oh god! OH god! OH GOD!"
"Jess, is it a contraction?" Luke asked with panic.
"No! You're squeezing my hand too hard!" She winced.
"Oh, sorry."
"Don't you dare let go!" She snapped as he started to pull away.
"I love delivering babies!" Harry smiled widely at Steve.
Steve just nodded unsure of the super powerful being and took a step or two back.
He was saved by the arrival of Thor. "Am I too late?"
"No, Harry says we've got about ten to fifteen minutes left." Steve told him.
"Wonderful!" Thor boomed happily.
"Fifteen minutes?" Luke whined.
"Man up Cage." Carol snapped.
Outside the infirmary the rest of the Mansion was gathered with the other Avengers and waiting eagerly as more and more friends arrived.
"It sounds like pure torture." Laurie winced.
"I wish she would take the pain medicine Professor Harry offered." Megan fretted. "I might just need it myself if she doesn't."
"Jessica said she wanted a fully natural birth. It's really painful." Mary Jane told them.
"And women do this voluntarily?" Anole asked. "I'm tempted to see if Doctor Harry can make it so I never put a girl through that."
The gathered heroes and students gave a collective shudder as Jessica let out a long keening scream.
"The end result is very much worth the result." Mary Jane assured them.
"And so is the act that starts it all." Peter grinned. "OW!"
"More remarks like that and I'll be volunteering your services for the sex education classes." Mary Jane scowled.
"I am so glad I kept my mouth shut." Gambit muttered. "OW!" Unfortunately Rogue heard him.
"I want one of those darlings myself one day Cajun, so you better watch yourself. And I better not hear another word about offering it as a thanksgiving sacrifice to Harry." She glared at her lover.
"Whatever you say Cher." Gambit said hastily.
The doors suddenly opened and out walked a proud Luke Cage with a little bundle in his arms. "Guys, I'd like you to meet my daughter. Danielle."
There was a stampede of oestrogen as Luke was mobbed by women and girls wanting to see the newest addition to the world.
"She's so cute!" Megan gushed.
"I'm honoured!" Danny Rand the Iron Fist said with a tear in his eye.
Luke looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "What makes you think we named her after you?"
"LUKE CAGE! BRING MY BABY BACK HERE NOW!"
"Hark, I hear the angelic tones of new mother." Hank smirked.
Luke turned and marched back into the infirmary. "Woman! You can't be shouting at me in front our girl like that." He said loudly.
"You take my baby again and I'll do more than shout!"
"Maybe we should adjourn upstairs and allow them some privacy." Hank offered.
"Welcome to Asgard, Lord Potter." Came the booming voice of Odin. "It has been many years since you last drank mead in these Halls with me!"
"It has?"
Odin just laughed. "For me it has been many years since we last met. For you it will be many years till we first meet!"
"Your talking about that time travel stuff Thor told me about. See, I don't get it, I always said that time was one of the-"
"Three things you should not meddle in. Yes you told me this. But as you will also tell me, you have already meddled with Death and your father's Twinkies, so why not mess with time."
"I told you that?"
"Truth!" Odin boomed happily. "You also told me that you and I are caught in a loop. You meet me, I tell you of the first time I met you. Then you begin to experiment with time and eventually go back so I meet you for the first time and you tell me your many tales."
"That sounds… so very very complicated."
"Verily! T'was much easier to comprehend after three days and three nights of heavy drinking." He chuckled.
"I'm thinking we might need to try that again." Harry nodded as he rubbed his temple.
"Come my friend! Long have I awaited this day. I have much to tell you as you once told me. Not to mention introducing you to your wife… again!"
"Wife?!"
Harry spent three days with Odin and his apparent wife, Dani turned up on day two but as a former Valkyrie she was welcomed to drink with them. Lorna eventually arrived with Amara and hauled them back to Midgard… Earth.
It was a beautiful sunny day. The kids were in class, the professors where teaching them and Harry was taking the time to decompress as he lay under a tree on the mansion grounds.
After spending over ten million years alone with nothing to do, the recent excitement and activity had really taken a lot out of him. Harry had participated in a few of the classes, especially Logan's combat classes. With the Danger Room out of commission due to it gaining sentience shortly before M-Day, Logan had resorted to other tactics.
Fortunately David had come to the rescue with his Danger Cave. Not that Logan was too thrilled. He had big plans for having the students fight Harry in his dragon form.
"It is rare to see you at peace, Husband."
Harry cracked an eyelid and smiled softly at the sight of Brunnhilde standing there with the sun behind her. She definitely looked like an angel.
"Considering you know me from my future, it doesn't really bode well for me, does it?"
Brunnhilde took a seat next to him and leaned into him. He instinctively put his arms around her.
"Just because you rarely rested does not mean you weren't happy." She smiled contentedly. "It has been too long since I have been in your arms."
"We had a good marriage?"
"We have a good marriage, Harry."
"Even if I don't remember it?"
"For you the marriage has just begun. For me it started thousands of years ago. But don't worry, you manage to tease me mercilessly about the same things." She gave a light jab at his stomach with her elbow.
"I can live with that." Harry smirked. "I take it the other girls have finished grilling you?"
"Yes, but they were most insistent that you join our souls together. I told them that that was the plan you shared with me many millennia ago.
"So what were you thinking about before I arrived?" She asked after a few moments.
"Absolutely nothing." Harry smiled happily.
"Ah, a day off." She nodded in understanding. "We enjoyed those and you especially cherished them. Of course there was far less clothing involved back then." She teased.
"Sounds heavenly." Harry said as he nuzzled her hair and breathed her in.
"Harry, does Hank McCoy often have problems with drooling?" She asked suddenly.
"No, he seems to be pretty neat and clean. A little too neat at times."
"And he isn't known for… eating his team mates?"
"What are you- oh." Twenty feet away Beast was munching on the leg of Wolverine. "That can't be good."
"Oh thank you sir, thank you so much! That nasty monster kept chewing my leg!"
Harry and Brunhilde stared at Logan in disbelief. He was acting like a… pansy.
"I haven't had too much interaction with the X-Men but the Wolverine's reputation did not suggest he was so…"
"Wussy?" Harry offered. Behind them Beast was locked in a conjured cage and knocked out.
"Doctor Potter! You found them! Great!" Hisako called out as she ran up, behind her was Ruth aka Blindfold, who was walking much slower.
"You know what's going on, Hisako?" Harry asked.
"You mean besides Doctor McCoy turning into a mad beast, Professor Logan reverting to a scared little boy-"
"I am not scared! Howletts don't get scared!"
"Headmistress Frost acting like a bitch (not that there was too much difference) and Professor Pryde going off after a box in the basement to find her son (I didn't know she had one!)? Then no, I have no idea."
"I believe the term is smartass." Brunhilde smirked.
"Oh, and Professor Summers is a vegetable in the infirmary."
"You mean someone transfigured him?"
"No, I mean he's lying there with his eyes open and drooling." The young Asian girl nodded firmly.
"Ah yes. This is truly one of your days off, Husband." Hilde smirked.
"I didn't cause this! This all the X-Men's fault." Harry said defensively.
"And you are now inv- young girl, he is very dangerous!" Hilde called out suddenly as she jogged over to where Ruth was standing in front of Beasts cage.
"He's not awake." Ruth said disappointedly. "I can't help him if he isn't awake."
"You know what's wrong with him?" Harry asked the eyeless girl.
"His feral side has been brought out and his humanity repressed. Professor Summers said this would help." She said as she presented Harry with a metal box with the words 'Property of Hank McCoy' written on a label.
Harry opened the box to find a ball of red string.
"Is this going to distract him or put him back to normal?" Harry asked in confusion.
"I don't know. But if you can give it to him I can take Professor Logan and make him better."
"Alright. Hilde, can you go with Ruth and Hisako whilst I take care of Hank?"
"Of course Harry. Come children." She ordered.
"We are not children." Hisako groused.
"When you have lived for thousands of years, everyone less than a century old is a child to you."
"I can't wait to hear you say that to Logan and Frost." She snorted.
Harry sincerely hoped to be present at that event. But he focused his attention on Hank. He enervated the furry blue mutant. But it was obvious by the snarls and drool that he was not in his right mind.
"I really hope this works." Harry muttered as he levitated the ball of string into the cage.
He watched expectantly as Beast sniffed the ball carefully. Then poked it with a claw.
"Oh dear. I had hoped never to see this particular object again." Came the cultured tones of Henry 'Hank' McCoy.
"If it does its job then I say stuff it on the mantle piece for all to see." Harry remarked as he dispelled the cage.
"If you will excuse me for a moment, I believe I feel the pressing need for some clothes."
Harry was confused as Hank teleported out, but he shrugged it off in favour of seeing what was going on with Kitty. He assumed Brunhilde and Ruth would have Logan well in hand.
*BANG*
"Scott, who you shooting?" Harry asked as he watched Cyclops shoot at what appeared to be random empty spaces. Kitty and Piotr were just coming round nearby and there was a nasty mess of slimy goop on the floor.
"Just figments of my imagination." Scott said with a somewhat manic grin.
"Ok, just let me know if I am behind one of those figments." Harry shrugged.
"It's Emma. She's been taken over by an old nemesis, Cassandra Nova."
"Jean mentioned her. Something about being a super telepath stronger than her and possibly Xavier?"
"She was exiled into that slimy mess. But she left an implanted message in Emma's mind and this has caused Emma to turn on us."
"Ok, I thought it was strange to see a somewhat human soul in that thing." Harry conceded.
"Can you do something about that?" Scott asked hopefully.
"Sure, I can kill the soul. But not every thing that is intelligent needs a soul. Granted they are as evil as the devil but still."
"Are you saying Cassandra Nova can survive without a soul?" He asked worriedly.
"It's rare, but I have known it to happen." Harry rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He hadn't had to deal with something like this since some idiot witch decided to follow in Tom Riddle's footsteps. She had tried to split her soul but only succeeded in destroying it leaving Harry with the task of dealing with a soulless monster. Fire worked pretty well in those instances.
"I don't think fire is going to help." Scott frowned. Harry looked at him in shock. "You were muttering under your breath." Scott explained.
"Yeah… I suck at the mind arts. That said, I do have a powerful weapon. Go and see to those two whilst I deal with Emma." He indicated Piotr and Kitty.
"Ok Emma, lets see how Miss Nova handles a dragon." Harry said quietly as he stared into her eyes and attempted legillimancy on her.
Harry could see Emma's memories quite clearly, her whole life was laid out for him. That troubled him as it meant that Emma was preoccupied with Nova. Telepathy was rare in his universe, never really developing beyond what he and Neville had created in their school days. As such Harry had no true experience with these major powerhouses like Emma, Jean or Nova.
Harry had one major weapon in his mental arsenal. His dragon, but he only used it for defence.
Doing what he hadn't done for a long time he decided to wing it. He focused on the dragon that prowled his mind and attempted to push it into Emma's.
Emma screamed as she began to convulse.
"What's happening? What are you doing to her?" Scott demanded as he rushed back over.
"You know that dragon Emma said is in my mind? I just sent it into hers to try and deal with Nova." Harry said as he maintained eye contact. "Now shut up and let me work, I've never done this before!"
Scott then noticed that Harry was sweating. For a being that could conjure multi-storey shields of diamond and decapitate their arch-nemesis in a single swing, he had never seen Harry sweat.
His attention was taken away by the wall crashing down as Danger, the humanoid form of the old Danger Room's AI, and Ord of the Breakworld, who was intent on killing the X-Men, barrelled in with Hisako, Brunhilde, Wolverine and Beast hot on their tails.
Scott promised himself he would ask Hank later why he was wearing a suit.
Scott raised his gun as he heard Piotr shift forms but he was shocked when they were enveloped in a white light before appearing elsewhere surrounded by SWORD agents.
"Stand down X-Men!"
Scott groaned as he recognised Abigail Brand of SWORD. The green haired leader of Earth's first line of defence against extra-terrestrial threats was a thorn in his side.
"Why have you kidnapped us? Where are we?" Scott demanded as he kept his gun trained on Ord.
It wouldn't have mattered as Brunhilde had a foot lodged on his throat whilst Wolverine had his claws at Danger's throat.
"Quadrant Theta 669, on a sub-light arc for The Breakworld. And we didn't kidnap you."
"Taken against our will… sounds like kidnapping to me." Harry mused as he gently laid Emma down.
"ARRRRRGHH!" A nearby figure screamed in agony it appeared to be almost dinosaur like, like a pterodactyl.
"What are you doing to him?" Brand demanded as she drew her weapon pointed it at Harry.
"Me? I'm just an innocent bystander." Harry grinned.
"Stop what you are doing or I will put a bullet right between your eyes."
Brand was a not pleased when she heard laughing coming from the X-Men. "You think I'm joking? I told you before, I have to deal with the bigger picture, I have no problem putting your boy here down."
"I think they find it amusing that a pitiful little girl like you believes she could kill Death." Brunhilde smirked.
"I know all about his claims." Brand sneered. "Haven't seen much to back it up though."
"Go ahead. You have my permission to fire your gun." Harry said with an inclined head. "Scott and his team won't retaliate, will you Scott?"
"We won't." Emma spoke as she was helped to her feet by Scott. "But considering he just saved my life I will be very… annoyed."
"Well, I can live with that." Brand said as she fired her gun.
*BANG*
Brand was a little shocked when Harry just stood there. Not a mark on him.
"So you have unbreakable skin. Big deal, seen that before." She said as she lowered her gun.
"That weren't unbreakable skin, girl." Logan chuckled. "That was him healing faster than anyone I've ever met. Kid, mind if I demonstrate?" He asked as he brandished his claws.
Harry just shrugged and smiled.
Logan retracted all but one claw, which he sliced through Harry's neck as if to decapitate him. When Logan tried to push his head off and nothing happened he walked behind him and shoved three claws through his back and out his front.
"Are we done yet? We have a school to get back to. I believe Hisako has classes as do the X-Men." Harry sighed as he flicked the claws protruding from his chest.
"Everything dies." Brand snarled angrily.
"Don't I wish." Harry scoffed.
"A dragon ssssitsss in hisssss mind… it attacked me." The dino-bird hissed as it tried to stand up shakily.
"Well you did try to get in my mind uninvited." Harry retorted.
"Do so again and I will personally remove your head from your shoulders." Brunhilde warned. Nobody messed with her husband. That was her job.
"This is irrelevant." Brand spun away as she tried to regain control of the situation. "We have an invasion to stop."
"Invasion?" Scott asked as he began to follow Brand out of the room leaving Ord and Danger to the SWORD agents.
"You never wondered why Ord was always so eager to kill you people?"
"We thought he was from the same planet as you and stupidity was in the genes." Emma snarked.
"Ord comes from a warlike planet. They also have seers they call them 'The Augers', they predicted that an X-Man will destroy their world… The Breakworld."
"Do they have a name for this X-Man or were they simply intending to pick us off one by one?" Hank asked as he adjusted his bowtie.
They reached a room with a large digital table with some form of map and a huge screen on the wall. Brand moved between the screen and the table and began tapping at a control panel on the table as the X-Men sat in the seats.
Suddenly the wall screen showed an image of an X-Man.
"As you can see, The Augers have determined who will destroy the Breakworld." Brand said calmly. "I'm assuming you're as mystified by this as the rest of us, Mr. Rasputin?" She asked the metallic mutant.
"No. I'm not." Piotr stated, his face stern. "I have been planning to destroy the Breakworld since I was a child."
The X-Men turned to look at him in shock.
Harry was banging his head on a nearby wall.
Piotr rubbed his neck sheepishly. "This is why I don't make so many jokes. I never know when is good."
There was a stunned silence, which was eventually broken by Brunnhilde's laughter. "I believe my husband will be able to help you, Colossus. He is known as quite the jester amongst the Aesir."
"How quaint." Emma remarked. "Death has a sense of humour."
"Right. Great. Let's skip to why you are here." Brand sighed as she rubbed her temple agitatedly.
"You mean other than the kidnapping?" Hank asked mildly.
"We're not past that yet?"
"It was ten minutes ago." Kitty replied.
Brand decided to press on.
"As soon as the Augers identified the X-Man in question an Armada was sent towards Earth. I have just been informed that Ord broke free and has sent a message to The Breakworld. That Armada is now heading for us."
"Wow. You had him for what? Five minutes and you still managed to lose him? Even though we beat the crap out of him?" Logan scoffed.
"She planned it." Scott said quietly.
"I did."
"What kind of crappy plan is that?" Logan asked.
"A plan that takes the attention of the Armada off of Earth and onto us." Scott explained.
"Crappy plan… what happens when they are done with us? You think they're just gonna say 'Hey, we just took out that threat to our planet, let's go home and put our feet up'?" Harry said snidely.
"I didn't say we would just sit here and die." Brand retorted. "We are headed to the Breakworld to try and sort this mess out."
"The only way to ensure peace from a war like civilisation is to conquer them first." Harry said firmly.
"You speak from experience?" Hank asked.
"Yeah. We had goblins back home. First thing my adopted dad did was defeat their leader and set himself up as king. We never had to worry about another attack and they were very respectful of us."
"You didn't try to negotiate?" Scott asked with distaste.
"The only negotiation tactics a warlike race will respect are ones involving death and destruction."
"Like trying to negotiate with the Hulk." Logan grunted.
"So you expect this small group to successfully fight their way through an armada, infiltrate a planet full of warriors, fight our way to their leader, kill or defeat said leader and then hope that they will simply bow to our will?" Emma asked Brand.
"I hear you people have done harder things." She shrugged.
"Well, as one of the more reasonable minds on this crazy little adventure, I vote we turn this over to Harry." Beast offered.
"That would be my counsel as well." Brunhilde agreed.
"Your call Cyc." Logan shrugged. "I'm happy to follow either of you so long as I get to gut someone."
"I hate to burst your delusional little bubble but I am in command here." Brand said as she slammed her hand down on the table angrily.
Scott and his team just stared at her.
"Harry, you have any ideas?" Scott asked eventually.
"I just told you-"
"I love magic." Logan chuckled as he cut Brand off with a silencing charm. Even Scott was smirking at the sight of Brand ranting and trying to talk.
"Ok, current plan is fine except the teams are wrong. Small group infiltrations are fine but considering our resources I think we can do better." Harry said as he moved forward to stand in front of the X-Men. "If we want to do this right we need an army. We need to provide a true show of force. Logan, head back to Earth and round up Ben and Johnny. See if Reed and Sue are available as well."
"How do I get back to Earth?"
"Teleport."
"I can go that far?" Logan asked, his eyebrows rising in surprise.
"Yeah, it's how we did space travel in my world. We would send a team to fly in a shuttle as far as the nearest planet and then when they landed we would send another team to teleport out with supplies and fuel. The team that made the trip would return by teleportation and the new team would continue by flying. As long as someone had been there or knew someone who was out there we could teleport all over the galaxy."
"I think I love you man." Logan looked like he was about to cry at the thought of never being stuck on a noisy smelly plane again. But he teleported out whilst still seated.
"Kitty, see if any of the kids want some experience. Stay at home until I call in. I don't want them involved in a space fight. They will be ground teams."
Kitty looked to Scott and Emma. At Scott's nod she vanished.
"Emma, would you mind checking on the Avengers and seeing if they want to lend a hand?"
"Of course dear." She said before teleporting out.
"Piotr, round up anyone you think we might have missed."
"I may not be the best choice. Many people still think I am dead." Piotr pointed out.
"Allow me." Hank offered as he vanished.
"Brunhilde, perhaps you would care to see if Odin has any restless warriors looking for a good time?" He grinned at his apparent wife.
"Always so thoughtful, Husband." She smiled widely as she too left.
"Scott, anyone else you can think of?"
"We might want to leave some heroes back on Earth." Scott mused with a small smile.
"Well I wasn't planning on inviting Iron Man." Harry snorted.
*BANG*
Scott's hand went to his temple before he remembered he didn't need his visor anymore. Piotr transformed at the sound of the gunshot.
"Was that really necessary?" Harry asked as he repaired the bullet hole in his shirt.
Brand continued pointing her smoking gun at Harry as she pointed to her mouth.
Harry rolled his eyes and removed Logan's silencing charm.
"Yes?"
"Do not do that again." She hissed.
"I didn't, Logan did. You just remember that you kidnapped us. If I have my way I will have you brought up on charges for it when we get back."
"Good luck." Scott groused.
Brand's no doubt, scathing remark, was stopped before it started as one of her agents came rushing in.
"Agent Brand!" The look in his eyes was enough to tell Brand the news.
"Looks like your reinforcements are going to be late, Potter." Brand spat.
"They are currently waiting for my signal to join us. But it seems pointless to have them all teleport onto a vulnerable ship." Harry informed her.
"You have a plan, Harry?" Scott asked.
"We need a distraction whilst the ship makes it to the planet. I only need someone to touch down there and then we can all teleport across." Harry turned and grinned at Piotr.
"I do not like that smile." Piotr said with worried eyes.
"Tell me, Pete. You ever ridden a dragon in space?"
