Chapter 3
Harry appeared in time to hear Dr. Erik Selvig shout at a hovering Iron-Man, "It's too late. She can't stop now. She wants to show us something. A new universe."
Selvig was standing in front of an advanced looking piece of technology powered by the Tesseract. Tony raised his arc gauntlets towards the device and let off a blast of arc energy. A spherical shield around Selvig's creation made its presence known by rebounding Tony's blast and sending Iron-Man hurtling back. Selvig was thrown off his feet. Harry shrugged off the discharge of energy and eyed the shield.
Loki was standing down on the balcony of the penthouse at the top of Stark Tower looking up at the new arrivals and holding his scepter. Just then a beam of energy shot out of Selvig's device and went miles up. High above New York a portal began forming. The portal quickly opened up to show dark space.
"Harry, you try to take out that portal generator and I will work on taking out or at least stalling Loki until the others get here," Tony suggested.
"Will do," Harry said as he studied the portal generator.
Harry's eyes flashed to a glowing green and he studied the energy constructs comprising the shield. He was only studying it for a moment when he sensed he needed to look up. From the portal above shapes on what looked like small flying aircrafts that Harry would liken to an air motorcycle were emerging from the portal. Harry was distracted from this as a crashing sound came from below and Tony went flying out a window. Tony couldn't fly. Harry flicked out his hand and caught Tony in a levitation spell. Tony started floating up towards Harry when an Iron-Man suit shot out of the building and enclosed Tony inside. Tony flew back up to the penthouse and blasted Loki back with an arc-gauntlet blast.
Tony floated up beside Harry after finishing with Loki.
"That doesn't look good," Tony said while looking up at the portal high above.
"Nope. I was trying to figure out how to destabilize the portal up on that end but my normal spatial manipulation magics won't work very effectively on an exotic spacetime like the portal generation is causing," Harry said. "I could probably come up with something but the math won't work so easily. I'm still thinking."
"Well I say we attack them while we think of something," Tony suggested.
"Fair enough," Harry agreed before taking off upwards with Tony.
As they drew closer Harry realized he had been wrong. The small aircraft were closer to chariots. There were pilots for each air-chariot and one or two gunners carrying handheld weapons. Tony began firing off arc-gauntlet blasts and taking out Chitauri warriors left and right. Harry summoned lightning, cyclones that bashed the Chitauri goons into each other and caused them to fall to their deaths, and focused piercing curses that tore through their armor. Tony also released a battery of tiny missiles.
Despite this there were so many Chitauri coming through that they started to seem unending. The Chitauri began attacking the city below. Harry sensed as Thor arrived in the city below to deal with his brother. The rest of the Avengers arrived as well. Bruce transformed into the Hulk without a moment of hesitation and began tearing into the Chitauri. Natasha, Clint, and Steve used their transport craft to take out several chariots. The dogfight had descended down into the city as the Avengers tried to save the citizenry.
Clint tried targeting Loki with the SHIELD transport and got blasted by Loki's scepter for the effort. Harry caught the transport and set it down. As Clint, Natasha, and Hawkeye came out the back Harry met them.
"Thanks for the assist, Harry," Steve said.
"No problem. If you need to cut through some of this Chitauri armor use these," Harry said as he tossed each a silver cylinder perfectly sized to fit in their palms.
"No way," Clint said as he flicked the thumb stud.
A bright green blade came out of the cylinder.
"What is that?" Steve asked.
"Cap, remind me to rectify your lack of knowledge of Star Wars if we survive this," Clint stated as he twirled his light-saber experimentally. "And this is the coolest thing ever. Are they magical or technological?"
"A little bit of both," Harry answered.
There was a loud sound from the portal and then a giant creature that Harry would liken to a Kraken of old except Kraken couldn't fly in outer space came out of the portal. The Chitauri-Kraken (C-K) came out of the portal and flew down towards the ground right over where the four Avengers stood. From its armor underbelly more Chitauri warriors shot out. They used their augmenting exo-skeletons to cling to the sides of the skyscrapers or to punch through the windows into the buildings.
"Shit," Natasha declared.
"I'm just going to go take care of that," Harry said. Before he did he pulled Natasha into a searing kiss. "Do me a favor and don't get killed. I'll just bring you back and I will spank you for being a bad girl."
The last bit was said with a wink before Harry took off. Harry shot up after the C-K and headed straight towards its mouth. The C-K had flown out of sight but the three grounded Avengers didn't have to be able to see the C-K to know what happened next. They heard a resounding crash that blew out a great many windows and then the C-K went flying high above but not under its own control. Its head looked caved in and it was sailing out over the waters surrounding the island of Manhattan.
Thor rejoined the fight after running off Loki with a hard landing next to Natasha, Clint, and Steve who had been fighting. Harry and Tony touched down too just as more C-Ks came pouring out of the portal, a lot more. The Hulk came crashing down a moment later with a few now dead Chitauri warriors falling off of him.
"You're hurt," Harry said to Thor.
"It is nothing, merely a minor wound," Thor replied.
Harry healed Thor with very little effort.
"We need you fighting at top form," Harry replied.
"Have you figured anything out about shutting down that portal yet?" Tony asked Harry.
"I considered creating a temporary black hole in the center of the portal space," Harry mused.
"You can do that?" Tony asked incredulously.
"Yes, though it isn't easy and it is risky," Harry replied.
"Harry, you could see if Selvig knows a way to shut down the shield easily," Natasha suggested.
"I don't have time to sift through his damaged mind. And there is no guarantee he knows anything or his mind that his mind is even intact enough to retain such information," Harry explained. "Wait…time," Harry mused.
Then the battle seemed to stop around the Avengers as a shimmering dome appeared around them.
"What just happened?" Steve asked.
"Harry sped up time inside this bubble for us," Natasha answered. "Now we have time to come up with a plan."
"I'll go up top and target the enemy from there," Clint stated.
"I can see if I can't get information out of Selvig," Natasha added.
"I will stop anything else from emerging from the portal if I can," Thor declared.
"I will help Thor," Tony stated.
"I will help down here," Steve announced.
Bruce smashed his right fist against his left palm, his meaning clear.
"I will see what I can do about the Chitauri-Krakens that have already come through," Harry stated.
Nobody questioned the moniker Chitauri-Kraken. Most had heard of a Kraken before and thought the name was appropriate.
"We have a plan," Steve stated.
Harry collapsed the time dilation bubble and immediately began to glow. Harry's form was suddenly enveloped in a brilliant blue light and he grew to the size of a twenty story building but looked to be made of energy rather than solid matter. In reality Harry was suspended in the center of his energy body. In his right hand an energy sword appeared much like a giant light-saber. The power requirements to use this magic were enormous and Harry probably wouldn't be able to keep it up for long. He hadn't had to use that magic for centuries outside of practice so immediately took off up into the sky flying straight towards the two dozen C-Ks.
Harry was big but if you compared the length of the C-Ks against Harry's height they would come out about the same. The C-Ks saw the wizard coming and attacked him in numbers. Harry's blade lashed out and took the head off the first C-K without too much impediment and started cutting through a second before two more decided to sink their fangs into him while two other C-Ks used their bulk to try to crush him. Harry's form flared brighter for a moment as he forced more power into his avatar. Harry gritted his teeth as he struggled against the bite of the giant creatures. Their teeth penetrated a short distance and then stopped. When Harry forced more power into his avatar the bits of teeth that were stuck in him disintegrated. Harry began slicing up the C-Ks even as more of them came in at him.
The more opponents he was forced to face the more energy he expended.
Meanwhile down below the Avengers were fighting for their lives. Though, the knowledge that their teammate could probably resurrect them if they died was a little comforting. Natasha worriedly watched her lover fighting up in the sky feeling impotent. She knew there was nothing she could do to help him. Instead she headed to the top of Stark's tower to try to shut down that portal generator.
Harry had killed a dozen of his opponents when he realized that though the C-Ks he was dicing up were dead they were still doing damage as their bodies fell. Harry noticed that Thor was doing a pretty decent job of keeping the enemy from coming through the portal with a net of lightning but that type of attack had to be draining on the Asgardian. Harry had a sudden idea. He quickly erected a time dilation field around himself to give him time to implement his idea. The battle slowed around him. This gave him time to recuperate and to build the device he wanted to build. In what seemed like seconds to the rest of the universe and was in fact hours for him he collapsed the time dilation field.
Harry sent out the net he had constructed. The net was made of a super-strong polymer that was the cutting edge strongest material of his time. The polymer's strength was further enhanced by magic. The massive net closed around the remaining C-Ks and pulled taught and then Harry heaved with all his strength. The C-Ks roared in protest and attempted to fight his strength but he was bloody strong. The net full of C-Ks began moving under Harry's command.
"Avengers, I am going to do something that will prevent the C-Ks from getting through and free up Thor to help down there," Harry sent to his teammates.
The Avengers all managed to glance up and see Harry pulling the net of C-Ks through the portal. Thor didn't let up on the lightning attack as Harry passed through but managed to direct the lightning net from hitting Harry. As soon as he was through the portal with his net of C-Ks, Harry tossed a device he had just built towards the portal from his side in the realm the Chitauri inhabited. The device had been shrunken but quickly expanded. Harry just designed the device he had built and he decided to call it a Saber-Barrier. The Saber-Barrier would block the portal mouth. The Saber-Barrier split into four pieces that flew to the sides of the portal mouth and formed a square. A criss-crossing curtain of light-saber energy formed over the mouth of the portal. Immediately Chitauri chariots and C-Ks began attacking the Saber-Barrier generators but that quickly proved ineffective.
Harry had designed the Saber-Barrier to defend itself. Beams of multi-colored energy lanced out from the surface of the Saber-Barrier generators and tore through the enemy before the enemy combatants even got close. Brilliant shields flared into existence to stop long range attacks. Harry stared off into the distance and spotted Chitauri starships. There were two of the starships for this attack fleet.
"Thor…there are two Chitauri ships out here. What happens if we take them out?" Harry asked.
Harry sensed Thor rapidly approaching and saw the Asgardian carefully navigate through the Saber-Barrier. It wouldn't matter if Thor had gotten too close to the energy barrier. Harry had programmed the barrier to recognize the Avengers as friends and to keep them safe.
"Those ships control the Chitauri warriors below. If we destroy the ships then the enemy will be stopped. But I didn't suggest it because the Chitauri are known for keeping control ships hidden in reserve. They will often be cloaked from sight. It will only take them a few minutes to switch over to the hidden control ships if the portal is still open," Thor explained.
Harry was thinking furiously. The reason he hadn't tried brute force attacking the shield surrounding the portal generator was because that shield was powered by the Tesseract. Assuming Harry could overwhelm the shield emitters the resulting discharge of energy would have likely incinerated New York. Harry's scans had revealed spatial anchors on the portal generator designed to keep the generator from being moved. Harry's scans hadn't been able to reveal the purpose of all of the technology in the portal generator but he wouldn't put it past Loki to design in defenses to attack anybody who tried to forcefully move the shield generator.
Loki was powerful but Harry was willing to bet Harry Potter was stronger. Harry flew down through the Saber-Barrier and shot towards Stark's tower.
"Clear the top of the tower," Harry directed his teammates.
The Avengers up top hastened to get to a lower level. Harry quickly reached the top of the tower and sent a massive cutting spell just under the roof of the tower. The top of the tower was neatly sliced through. Harry began channeling magic into the cut off portion of the tower to strengthen it way beyond what its designers ever envisioned.
"Harry buddy, what are you doing?" Tony asked.
"I'm going to shove this sucker through the portal and forcefully collapse the shield on the other side. The resulting explosion will likely take out the entire Chitauri species," Harry answered.
"That sounds really freaking dangerous," Tony pointed out.
"It is," Harry admitted as he anchored cables to the sliced off section of roof made of the same super polymer his net had been made of.
Harry had long since let his battle avatar collapse and instead focused on his strongest shielding magic concentrated right on the surface of his skin. Harry had secured the cables to a hand grip perfect for him to hold onto. He began trying to fly upwards pulling the cables. There was a high pitched whining sound coming from the portal generator and then tentacles of dark energy lashed out towards Harry. Harry grunted as his shields fought off Loki's reactive wards. The dark tentacles tried wrapping around him and squeezing him to death but he simply ignored them.
Harry idly noticed a chariot heading his way and sensed Loki was on it.
"Tony," Harry said warningly.
"I've got it," Tony assured.
Tony was hovering up near the portal but could see everything from there given the enhanced vision of his suit. Tony had been using that position to send arc-blasts down at Chitauri warriors and chariots without retaliation. Thor was doing the same with lightning while also keeping an eye on the Saber-Barrier. Harry could tell Thor didn't trust that the device wouldn't fail. As Tony prepared to hit Loki's chariot with an arc-blast a blurred green form hit Loki's chariot first. The Hulk roared as he began pounding Loki. Loki and the Hulk fell towards one of the sky scrapers.
Harry sensed the spatial anchors shut down before they failed and suddenly he was moving upwards towards the portal. Harry wasn't sure why the spatial engines had killed themselves at first but then the reason became apparent as he passed through the portal. The spatial anchors reoriented the portal generator so that it was pointing towards the portal.
"Harry, hold off on trying to forcefully collapse that force-field. Fury just told me the World Security Council decided to send a nuke at Manhattan. He tried to stop them but couldn't. I am trying to intercept. How do you think the shield would react to a nuclear blast?" Tony asked.
"By itself the destruction caused by the shield collapsing would be pretty immense. But if I'm here working to collapse the field and do it at the right moment the Chitauri threat could be ended forever," Harry replied.
"Yeah…but you are talking about being at ground zero for a nuclear blast," Tony pointed out.
"Isn't that exactly what you are thinking of doing for yourself?" Harry replied.
"Good point. Let's do this," Tony urged.
As Harry pulled the Tesseract towards the control ships, Thor flew as the wizard's escort and kept the remaining C-Ks and warriors off Harry's back. The shield generator was still trying to attack Harry but it was mostly pointless by now. The wards were powered by the Tesseract so could keep on acting for a great deal of time to come but the ward components could only channel a certain level of power or they would burn out. That level of power was something Harry could shrug off.
"Thor, come here and pull this fucker. I'm going to build something that will hopefully keep us from getting killed," Harry requested.
Thor flew in and took over pulling the portal generator. The reactivated spatial anchors were slowing the movement away from the portal towards the control ships. Harry quickly altered the matter of the cables Thor was pulling slightly so he could do something. The cables were altered to withstand the temporal shear of a time dilation bubble. Next Harry erected one of those bubbles. The universe seemed to freeze around the Asgardian.
"What are you doing?" Thor asked curiously as he looked at the battle scene around them and then focused on the wizard.
"I am building a device to collapse the portal generator's defense shield at just the right moment. The Tesseract won't be destroyed because of what it is but the resulting blast would not be pleasant to be around. I don't think I can die anymore but I would rather not put it to the test. This device will remotely draw from my power," Harry explained. "You can take a breather from pulling while I do this. You can't pull when we are in this state."
Thor watched the wizard work and when it appeared the wizard was finished some time later asked, "Is it ready?"
"I think so. I can't be certain since I have never built something like this before. I have built devices to collapse shields before but nothing like a Tesseract driven shield," Harry answered.
"I have faith in you, Harry Potter," Thor stated.
"Well we had best do this. Take my hand. Tony is going to come flying through that portal. We are close enough to the control ships," Harry explained as he attached the device he had created to the hand-grip he and Thor had used to pull the portal generator. "I'm going to teleport us to Tony after he releases the nuke. Then the three of us will teleport back through the other side."
"I understand," Thor replied.
Harry collapsed the time dilation bubble. The portal generator's wards had focused on Harry's shield even after Thor had taken over pulling because that shield encompassed them both. Now the device Harry had just built was shrugging off that attack but without a shield. Harry had just built the device to be quite durable. It would hopefully hold out long enough. Harry felt the draw on his power the device used. A micro-fusion power plant like he had used to power the Saber-Barrier's systems wouldn't be enough for what Harry had in mind. Tony came through and directed the nuke towards the portal generator. Harry watched as Tony released the nuclear missile and then teleported.
Tony was just sending over the radio network Harry had been maintaining, "It has been a pleasure fighting with you two. If either of you survive please tell Pepper I love her and keep an eye on her for me."
Tony had no illusions about his chance of surviving a nuclear blast point blank. But he thought maybe the super resilient wizard Harry or Asgardian Thor would possibly survive. Tony didn't imagine Harry could revive someone if they were disintegrated. The timing was off. The blast went off just as Harry reached Tony. The portal began collapsing immediately and the blast wave from the combined nuclear blast and reactive Tesseract were coming their way. Harry teleported towards the portal and sensed it closing rapidly. He sensed as his apparition wormhole drew nearer that the portal was closing down to an infinitesimally small opening. He groaned at the strain as his already taxed energy reserves were forced to conjure negative matter to force the wormhole and portal lining to remain open. The three heroes came out on the other side of the portal and Harry barely resisted passing out.
"You do have limits," Thor stated as he caught his two compatriots and slowly flew towards Stark's tower.
"I thought the plan was to stay behind and die," Tony pointed out.
"That was a shitty plan," Harry muttered weakly. Already Harry could feel his power regenerating. "And apparently yes I do have limits."
Harry didn't bother stating that he thought his limits were increasing the longer he had his new deathly abilities. He hadn't had his extended abilities that long.
"We won," Steve said as the three Avengers reached the top of Stark's tower where the other Avengers were waiting.
Bruce was standing close by a very battered looking Loki. The Hulk had done a number on the Asgardian God of Mischief.
Natasha rushed up and caught Harry in a crushing hug as he landed. Then she drew back enough to catch his lips in a searing kiss. He happily returned the act. When the kiss broke apart the two lovers wrapped an arm around each other and turned to their teammates.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm famished," Tony declared.
"Tony, remind me to have a discussion with you about ways we can enhance your armor so it doesn't look so shitty after a battle," Harry told the man.
"I look forward to it," Tony agreed. "Let's go grab some food but what will we do with him?"
Tony meant Loki.
"If he acts up he will regret it," Thor answered. "I am in no mood to deal with more from him."
"I built a better cage for him," Harry answered as he pulled a small cage out of his pocket.
"It's a little small isn't it," Clint pointed out.
Harry grinned. Moments later Thor was holding the small cage the size of a quarter clipped to his hammer with a very upset Loki contained within. Harry had explained how to get Loki out of the cage and returned to normal size. The Avengers left to go rustle up some food after Harry had used cleaning charms on all of them and healed any injuries.

Smut Scene Redacted (See hpfanficarchive or ficsite for erotic version)
Smut Section End
Natasha turned her head enough that Harry was able to see her face as he sat up on one elbow after they had both caught their breath. She was so beautiful. She was slightly sweaty and strands of her hair clung to her forehead. Unshed tears glistened in her eyes. Harry was no longer telepathically connected to her. But judging by the feelings he had experienced the short time ago he didn't think her tears were because she was unhappy.
"What's on your mind, beautiful?" Harry asked as he moved the strands of hair off her face with his left hand.
"That was the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. This connection you forge between us. It's…so very special," Natasha explained. "I have never felt that connected with anybody."
Natasha was silent for a while as she struggled to find a way to say something else. Luckily, Harry who had experienced these kinds of intimate connections knew what Natasha was trying to say.
"You are wondering if we ever shared a deeper connection if I would still want to be with you," Harry said to the assassin.
"Yes," Natasha admitted. "I'm an assassin when I need to be. I've done some pretty terrible things by the standards of most. Is a deeper connection even possible?"
"Let me explain something. A deeper connection is possible but if the lovers maintain them long enough over many sessions of love-making the connections become permanent. The death of one lover can shatter the psyche of the surviving lover. They aren't done lightly. I have never established such a connection, even with Hermione. We hadn't been lovers long enough anyway before she was killed," Harry explained. "In those deeper connections the lovers consciously experience a broad overview of everything their partner has ever done, their deepest darkest secrets. Each time they make love at that level they experience different parts of their lover's life in sections. They can't consciously perceive it all at once. But even with the limited essence mingling we are doing now…our souls and subconscious minds are rapidly scanning through the existence of the other. If there was something I did in my past that you strongly objected to then you would get a bad feeling during our mingling. That works the other way with things you have done in your past. The fact that our mingling not only didn't garner any bad feelings but felt so truly amazing means that there wasn't an action either of us took that would even garner mild disapproval from the other."
Natasha absorbed this information. If she understood her lover right then he had no problem with any of the actions she had taken in her life given the situations she had found herself in. A warmth spread through her chest which had nothing to do with physical heat. She wondered if this was what it was like to start to fall in love. She was practical enough to realize that she was feeling extremely affectionate towards Harry due to the fantastic sex they had just shared but she also felt there was more to what they were doing than just sex. Natasha wasn't about to profess her love to Harry right that minute but the thought did take root. Natasha didn't respond verbally so much as physically. She kissed him again with a more tender technique and continued their physical coupling.

Harry and Natasha joined the other Avengers to see Thor off. The blonde Asgardian still had his brother in the cage but was now also holding the Tesseract. Harry had summoned the Infinity Stone from the battle scene. After a bit of thinking, Harry had figured out a way to return to the realm where the Chitauri had attacked from via apparation. The Avengers had gone with him to see the destruction wrought and were pretty confident the Chitauri wouldn't be attacking Earth anytime soon. Harry had worked with Thor to construct a device to return the Asgardian Prince to Asgard using the energy of the Tesseract. The Bifrost was still under construction after its destruction.
"When we get the Bifrost up and running again I would like to have you all visit Asgard," Thor stated. "You are all my friends. I know you wish to speak with my father about the possibility of returning to your universe," Thor told Harry.
Harry who was holding hands with Natasha said, "That doesn't seem as important as it did when I first arrived." Harry still loved Hermione but he was also coming to love Natasha. "But I think we would all enjoy visiting your home, Thor. Journey well."
The Avengers exchanged farewells with the Asgardian and then he activated the device which sent him home.
"What Thor said holds true for the rest of you. You can stop by my tower any time or my home in California," Tony said as he handed out cards. "Bruce is coming with me to play in my labs back in California."
"Harry and I are going to go on a bit of a world tour so I can get him acclimated to our universe. I'm taking some time off from SHIELD. Just so you know…we checked and made sure Fury was shutting down Phase Two research. He did," Natasha explained.
"That is really good to hear," Bruce said.
"I want to give each of you something," Harry said as he handed his teammates each a wrist-band decorated in a style that would appeal to them. "If you ever need to contact me or one another just think about the person you want to contact and these wrist-bands will allow you to speak mind to mind. Thor has been given one to though we weren't sure it would work between here and Asgard. We tested it in the Chitauri realm but thought that might be different than Asgard. He just contacted me a moment ago to confirm they work and to say he made it safely back."
"We'll keep in touch," Clint assured.
The Avengers said goodbye to each other sure that they had just made some life-long friends and allies in their fight against those who would harm the innocent.

Author's Note 2:
So that is the last chapter of the first book. I think it turned out pretty decent but that is just me. I am currently writing the sequel which is based on the third Iron-Man movie. I debated skipping that movie and going straight to Thor 2: The Dark World. But I thought that with the friendship and the wrist-band communicators Harry gave to the Avengers along with the invitation from Tony that sooner or later Harry would be finding out the troubles Tony faced and come to help. I'm doing it a bit differently in my actual story but that is the gist of it. I still plan on doing a Thor 2: The Dark World third story and before you ask I don't know a time scale yet. Don't rush me. I plan on turning the story into a Natasha/Harry/Sif pairing but there will be nothing sexual going on between Natasha and Sif. Both women while having performed bisexual acts in the past and having enjoyed them prefer men and have no inclination at the time of my story to get into that. I am doing it this way mostly to make my stories more appealing to a wider reader base. If I was a straight-woman and was enjoying a story and then suddenly two women started going at it I think I would be very displeased with the author.
The smut scene includes pillow talk afterwards that is important to explaining elements of Harry's past. I am trying to include those in the censored version without including any of the smut elements but that is difficult.
