# 1. Meeting You

By: kpron2008

Harriet Selene Potter had decided to change her name to Phoenix Selene Jasmine Potter because she was going to start anew and away from Magical Britain. So, she decided that she would move to New York and she was also informing her most trusted friends that were true to her as well as family to her.

She decided to head to Gringotts after she had written letters to those that she truly trusted and family that was true. She sent her new owl that she had gotten and had named Athena after the Greek goddess of Wisdom and War.

Then she finally heading Gringotts now to get everything in order since she planned on leaving Magical Britain and become a magical citizen of the United States of America. However, she had a run in with Ron and Hermione before she had gotten to the steps of the bank.

"Harriet, what are you doing here?" Hermione asked.

"I was contacted by the goblins about something that is personal business, Hermione." Harriet lied a bit because she was telling truth that it was personal business.

"Harri, Mum wants to know if you'll come by?" Ron said.

"Ron, I have things to do today and a lot to deal with; so I have no idea if I will come by or not." Harriet said a bit sarcastically.

"What's so important that you can't spend time with us?" Hermione questioned.

Harriet wasn't exactly sure why but she answered, "That's classified information, Hermione."

Both Ron and Hermione were completely stunned to hear that apparently as she turned from them and entered the bank.

Inside Gringotts...

A goblin was waiting for her immediately; which surprised her.

"Lady Potter, come with me because there is something else that we forgot to tell you when you were fourteen." The goblin said.

"Okay?" Harriet said.

She followed the goblin to his office and sitting there was King Ragnarok which was rare for King Ragnarok to make an appearance before a witch or wizard unless there was a reason.

"Lady Potter, we did everything that you asked when you were fourteen but I believe that you were shocked about being emancipated at the age of fourteen. We found out that your mother had friend that was like a brother to her before she met your father. His name is Anthony Edward Stark or Tony for short; he's CEO of Stark Industries and now is known as Iron Man an Avenger. We sent him a message to inform that he has neice of sorts." King Ragnarok said.

"So, he's aware of the Magical World?" Harriet questioned.

"He is aware of it. We will send him everything that we discuss here with you as well so he will be well informed and more prepared for your arrival in New York. Assuming that is why you're here?" King Ragnarok said.

"Yes and I plan to change my name a bit because I am actually tired of the titles that the Magical World gave me but I do enjoy my titles of my Ancient and Noble Houses." Harriet said, "You may inform him of everything that we discuss here if it will also help him out." Harriet said.

So, Harriet continued talking with King Ragnarok and the goblin whose office they were in. After, she was done talking with the goblins; she immediately decided to write a letter to Tony Stark and send it to him.

Meanwhile, in New York...

The Avengers were settling in Stark Tower which was now renamed Avenger Tower. When Clint noticed an owl pecking on the window that he said, "Tony, why is there an owl pecking on the window?"

Tony turned towards the window and said, "Jarvis, open the window and the owl in or probably owls."

Sure, enough two more owls followed the first owl in to the room. The owls dropped what they were carrying on Tony's lap and Tony told the owls where they could go to recover from their flight.

"It is weird to see owls when they are considered nocturnal animals." Bruce said.

"What's even weirder is that Tony isn't bothered by it?" Natasha said looking at Tony who was reading a letter.

Tony was reading the letter which he could tell was written by a young woman who could be in her late twenties or early thirties. He was actually stunned by what he was reading in the letter but he couldn't help but smile as well. Then he took the other envelopes down to his lab workshop/office because he would read what those envelopes had later. then he came back up and noticed that everyone was staring at him.

"Tony?" Pepper questioned.

Tony looked up from the letter that he was reading and said, "Yes, Pepper?"

"What's going on?" Pepper asked curiously.

Tony put the letter in his pocket and before Natasha could ask; he said, "My neice is coming to New York."

"Tony, do you mean?" Pepper questioned.

"Yes, Pepper and she has shared with some interesting information; so if you all will excuse for a moment." Tony said heading to his lab.

They watched as Tony left and they were confused except for Pepper, Happy, and Rhodey. The three that were close to Tony knew that he had a friend named Lily that lived in England.

"Why do I get the feeling that in that letter that there was something that Tony just found ou..." Rhodey was cut off when they all heard a loud crash in Tony's lab.

"Jarvis, is Tony okay?" Bruce questioned curiously.

"Sir, learned that Lord and Lady Potter were murdered in front of their daughter when she was a year-old on Halloween and she had been living with and abused by Lady Potter's sister, Petunia Dursley, her husband, and her son."

The Avengers were stunned to hear that as were Pepper, Happy, and Rhodey.

"What else, Jarvis?" Steve asked curiously.

"Sir is very emotional at that moment, Captain Rogers. However, he was more shocked to learn that was mentioned in the original wills of the Late Lord and Lady Potter as a guardian over their daughter. From the way that sir is acting, I would say that he is in shock that Miss Potter has faced her parents' killer from the time that she was eleven, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, and the final time was when she was seventeen."

Clint was shocked to hear that Tony's neice had faced her parents' killer several times in her younger years.

"I suppose learning all this; it probably hard for Tony." Bruce said calmly.

Suddenly, Tony came back from his lab and looked at Steve for a moment then said, "Capsicle, I have something interesting for you and please don't overreact to what I am about to tell you."

"What's that, Tony?" Steve questioned curiously.

"According to my neice, she found out that you're her soulmate and she says that she will not pressure you into it because that's not who she is." Tony stated.

Steve was actually was stunned to hear that as was everyone else.

"Tony, was that in the letter that you were reading?" Natasha asked curiously.

"Yes, it was and I assume that Jarvis told you about what happened while I was in my lab?" Tony said.

Everyone nodded.

Tony decided to explain everything a little bit better but before he did; he made all them swear not to reveal anything to anyone outside of the Avengers for now. Which the others agreeded to immediately because they could see that Tony was going to trust them with something important.

So, Tony began to tell them about Lily and her husband as well as their daughter.

Back in England...

While Harriet was changing her name legally to Phoenix Selene Jasmine Potter; she also asked the goblins if they could help her out to catch up on her muggle studies in no time before she left for New York.

The goblins agreed to help that they sent a wizard to get some of the muggle professors to help Lady Potter with non Magical schooling. The wizard returned with some muggle professors that were muggle borns that had worked in several schools/universities and were willing to help Lady Potter immediately.

So, the goblins immediately put a time dome and Lady Potter went right to work with the Professors. However, while under the time dome; one of the Professors asked Harriet if she knew an Anthony Edward Stark who went by Tony. She told the Professor that Tony Stark was her Uncle which shocked them all.

She also informed them that her name was now Phoenix Selene Jasmine Potter instead of Harriet and also explained what she actually had been through with the professors and they were completely shocked by what she told them.

Several weeks later...

Phoenix graduated from her muggle schools classes including two universities.

"I will tell you one thing, Lady Potter." A Professor said.

"What's that, sir?" Harriet asked curiously.

"My father taught your Uncle Tony at MIT which is Massachusetts Institute of Technology and it was an honor to teach his neice who is just as smart as he is." The Professor said.

The other professors agreed with the Professor from MIT as well about Phoenix being smart like Tony.

"In a way, Uncle Tony is now the only family that I have left that knew my parents. Plus, from what I know of him; he's an amazing person regardless of what the Press says about him." Phoenix said.

"Then we are sure that you're Uncle will be a very proud man to know that his neice is just as smart as he was or is." Another Professor said.

Back in New York at Stark/Avengers Tower...

Tony was working on the room for his neice when Steve walked in and asked if he could help. Tony nodded and said, "Sorry, Cap, if I put you on the spot like that."

"It's okay, Tony. I will admit that I was shocked learning that I was your neice's soulmate, but it does sort of make me nervous." Steve said.

Tony stopped what he was doing and looked at Steve and said, "I think my neice will be nervous as well because where she lived with Petunia; she may think that she's not worthy of you, Cap."

Steve was surprised by that and said, "Why would she think that she's not worthy of me? I feel that I might not be worthy of her."

Tony was actually surprised that the Captain thought that he wasn't worthy of his neice. So, they talked as they continued working on Phoenix's room for when she arrived in New York; then stopped when an owl flew into the room with another letter. Then the owl flew up to the rooftop garden.

"What does it say, Tony?" Steve asked curiously.

"It's from my neice and it says that she'll let me know when she has arrived in New York by doing something that I would recognize." Tony said.

"Does she always act so mysterious?" Steve asked curiously looking at Tony.

"I guess she's being cautious because she doesn't want anyone to know in the British Magical World to know what she's doing or to find out about me." Tony stated.

"Why?" Steve asked curiously.

"I'm guessing that she doesn't want certain people to find out that she has an Uncle that is a Billionaire and lives in America. It's almost like she's protecting myself and all of you if I am understanding her wording correctly." Tony said.

month later...

Phoenix arrived in New York viva aeroplane and managed to get a taxi to take her to a certain place that she was able to enter into the Magical World of New York and registered with MCUSA as a duel citizen of both America and Britain in case she ever did decide to go back to England before going to her Uncle's place.

Also, before she decided to go to her Uncle Tony's place; she decided to go to Central Park for a bit unaware that she would probably run into her soulmate there.

Meanwhile...

Captain Steven Grant Rogers was doing his early morning run at Central Park and thought about what he and Tony had talked about. He had to admit that he was nervous meeting Tony's neice because he didn't know what she looked like and neither did Tony because he had lost contact with Lily and James over the years until he had received those envelopes and the letter from his neice explaining everything.

He wondered what Tony's neice would think of the rest of the Avengers when she met them and how she would react to know that her Uncle had been through a terrible time that caused him to become Iron Man. He also thought it was strange that Tony and his neice were somewhat similar in a way by the way that they had grown up in a way except Tony had grown up with his comparing Tony to him; which still had surprised him. However, he had to admit that he was angry that Phoenix had been forced into servitude by her mother's sister and family until she was seventeen and was also raised to be a child soldier from the time she was eleven until she was seventeen.

He wondered if Phoenix being here in New York with Tony, Pepper, Happy, Rhodey, and the Avengers would help her recover. from everything that she has been through. Although, he had to admit to himself that he was curious how Phoenix had turned out after all she has been through at a young age.

As he was running lost in thought; he wasn't exactly paying attention until he heard, "LOOK OUT!"

A young woman looked up at the moment and saw a gentleman running towards her and the next thing that they both knew was that crashed into each other.

Steve was stunned that he had knocked down a young woman that he helped her up immediately and said, "I'm so sorry, ma'am."

"No harm done, sir. I wasn't exactly paying attention either." The young woman said as she took his hand.

Suddenly, they both felt a spark or connection of sorts but didn't say anything about it. The young woman looked at him in shock because of the spark or connection between them and it dawned on her as to who he was but didn't say anything.

Steve noticed that the young woman was just as stunned as he was at the moment because apparently they both had felt the spark or connection between them. He wondered if this young woman could be Phoenix or not.

Phoenix could see that the gentleman was thinking and at that moment her stomach decided to growl which caused the gentleman to chuckle. She had to admit that his laugh was lite and then she heard him say, "I assume that you could use some breakfast?"

Phoenix blushed but nodded in answering.

The man walked beside her as they were heading towards the parking lot and he said, "My name is Steven Rogers, by the way, ma'am."

Phoenix blinked a bit in shock and said, "Well, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Steven Rogers. My name is a little long but if you like you can call me, Nix for now. Although, I believe my Uncle will do the same."

"So, you have an Uncle that lives here in New York?" Steve said.

Phoenix nodded.

"Do I know your Uncle?" Steve asked curiously.

"You might, Steve." was all Phoenix said shyly.

Steve noticed that the young woman seemed tired as well which could be from jetlag but he wondered what she meant by what she said and the fact that she seemed a little shy around him was strange to him.

They made it to the parking lot and stopped in front of his motorcycle which he was surprised when Nix was absolutely amazed by his bike in which Tony had made him.

Steve saw how fascinated Nix with each detail of his bike that he had to ask, "Do you like motorcycles, ma'am?"

Phoenix looked at Steve and said, "I do like motorcycles because my godfather left me his motorcycle. I need to restore it and make it better in a way."

Steve was surprised that she loved motorcycles of all things then he hopped onto his bike then he watched as she got on behind him and held on around his waist. Once he started his bike; off they went to a nearby café to grab a bite to eat.

Back at the Tower...

Tony had just come out of his lab and headed to the kitchen to make some coffee. He noticed that Steve wasn't back from his early morning run which was strange.

Then the other Avengers started to come into the kitchen as well.

"Where's the Cap?" Clint questioned.

"Evidently, he's not back from his morning run yet, Legolas." Tony said.

"That's strange." Natasha said.

"You don't think that Steve got hurt, do you?" Bruce asked curiously.

"Jarvis, locate Captain Rogers would you?" Tony asked the ceiling.

"Locating Captain Rogers now, sir. It seems that the Captain is at a café with a woman, sir."

Everyone was surprised to hear that and Tony requested the video feed immediately. When Jarvis pulled the video feed; Tony recognized the jesture that the young woman was doing because it was something Lily would do when she was signaling Tony that the coast was clear for him to meet with her and James before he had lost contact with them.

Tony chuckled as he realized that the Captain hadn't realized that he was with his soulmate.

"What's so funny, Tony?" Clint said.

"Let's just say that Steve may be getting the shock of his life when he returns to the Tower." was all Tony would say.

Then Tony went into the living room leaving the others confused.

An hour later...

Steve pulled up to the Tower with Nix helping him with the breakfast order that the café had given him for the other Avengers as gratitude for saving New York. As they entered; Happy noticed the young woman and was about to say something until she stopped him.

"Happy, I hate to ask you to help us with all this but it is more than me and Nix can carry." Steve said.

Happy chuckled and said, "I'll help you, Captain."

So, Steve, Nix, and Happy entered the elevator. Then Happy told Jarvis to take them to the Avenger level directly. The AI immediately did so considering there was a lot of food being brought up.

Moments later...

Steve, Nix, and Happy exited the elevator carrying the food to the kitchen; which had surprised the Avengers suddenly.

Suddenly, Nix looked at Tony and said, "Zio Tony, non avevo idea che foste così popolari."

Natasha went wide eyed which caught the other Avengers were curious as to what had shocked Natasha suddenly.

Tony answered, "Mia nipote, Nix, com'è andato il tuo volo?"

Nix said, "Andava bene, zio Tony, tranne per il fatto che non credo che viaggerò di nuovo da quella parte."

Steve had been learning some Italian and he knew what 'Zio' was then looked between Tony and Nix before passing out from shock.

Both Tony and Nix blinked because they hadn't expected that to happen and neither did Happy.

Just then, Pepper and Rhodey walked in smelling the food then they saw Steve passed out on the floor.

"Tones, why is Captain Rogers passed on the floor?" Rhodey questioned.

"That would be my fault, Colonel Rhodes." A feminine voice said.

Rhodey turned to see a young woman standing next to Tony and they were surprised to see Steve passed out on the floor. Then he asked, "Why would it be your fault, Miss? And how did you know that I was a Colonel?"

"Well, Uncle Tony mentioned you several times in letters that he wrote to my mother and my father before their deaths. As well as some of the letters that he wrote to me that had been hidden from me by an idoit of an old goat." Nix said.

"Old Goat?" Clint questioned curiously.

Nix laughed and said, "Old Goat is what I call my late and former Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore because he kept things from me and stole from my family and tried an illegal marriage contract while aware that I had a soulmate."

Clint was surprised.

Natasha was completely shocked that someone would try to mess with a soulmate bond sort of thing that Tony explained about what he knew about it.

Phoenix walked over to Steve knelt down and said, "Captain, sorry I didn't tell you who I was."

Steve was coming around and said, "Not your fault, Nix. To be honest, I was sort of nervous meeting you after Tony told me that I was your soulmate."

Phoenix just smiled.

The Avengers decided to make Tony's neice feel welcome by telling her all about themselves. When it came to Steve's turn; he wasn't exactly sure how Phoenix would react to it but he told her anyway.

When he had finished, he looked to see Phoenix's reaction and he was shocked to see that she was in tears which puzzled him greatly.

Tony noticed that Nix was in tears and realized that when Cap was telling her about his story that there were some things that were similar to what Phoenix had to deal with.

Steve looked at Tony completely lost at what to do. Then Tony said, "Steve, it's not so much your story but what you delt with during the story that may have caused Nix to react emotionally."

"Uncle Tony is right, Steve. In a way, I can sort of relate to each and everyone of you in some way especially Uncle Tony and Captain Rogers." Phoenix said.

Meanwhile, Back in England...

Draco and his wife, Astoria along with their son was visiting with Andromeda and Teddy; when the Weaseleys along with the Granger-Weasleys decided to make an entrance.

"Malfoy, what are you bloody doing here?!" Ron said.

"I am merely visiting my Aunt and cousin." Draco said.

"Where's Harriet?!" Hermione shrieked looking at Draco.

Before Draco could say a word; Kreacher popped in and said, "You not be talking bad to Master Malfoy because Mistress will not like it. Mistress is letting young Master Black and Grandmother live here after we worked so hard to modernized the Black home."

"That still doesn't explain why they are here and Harriet isn't, Kreacher." Hermione said.

Arthur sighed and said, "I think what Kreacher is trying to say is that Harriet let Andi and live here so it would probably be easier for her to contact family. Harriet may not be here but she's still the owner of the home."

"Yes, she is, Arthur and she said that Teddy and I can live here because she didn't want Teddy and I to live in the Muggle World for a while and she figured that it would be easier for Narcissa to visit me." Andi said.

"But where is she?" Molly asked curiously.

"Molly, for all we know Harriet probably wanted to see the world before she decided on what she wanted to do." Arthur said.

George and Bill looked at each other with a knowing look at what Harriet well Phoenix had actually done as did Draco, Astoria, Neville, Luna, and a few others which included Andi and Teddy.

"Well, I hope that she returns soon, Arthur." Molly said.

"I'm sure that Harriet is okay, Molly." Arthur said.

"What's up there?" Hermione questioned.

"From what Andi told me that's Harriet's study/office. She doesn't let anyone in there." Draco said.

"Well, we'll just see about that!" Molly said marching up the stairs.

Kreacher popped up bringing some tea for everyone.

"Thank you, Kreacher." Andi said.

"Yous welcome, Mistress Tonks." Kreacher said.

Then the next thing that they heard was a loud boom that came from upstairs.

"What was that?" Arthur questioned.

"Sounds like someone tried to get into Mistress Potter-Black's study/office. Mistress Potter-Black's security system worked. Kreacher will have to tell Mistress when she returns from trip." Kreacher said.

Moments later, Molly came downstairs covered in something that definitely hadn't been made by George.

Suddenly, they heard laughter coming from some where. So, everyone followed the laughter and was shocked to see a wall that had the words 'In Memory of ' and there were a bunch of portraits and they were laughing.

"What's so funny?" Ginny asked curiously.

"That's easy, Mum walked into one of Harriet's security spells that is unique. No, wonder she's the daughter and goddaughter as well as godneice to three of the Maruders that gave Professor McGonganall gray hair." A familiar voice said.

The Weaseley Family stunned as they said all at once, "FRED?!"

"The one and only." Fred's portrait said.

"But how?" Hermione questioned.

"Harriet figured out how to create magical portraits from memories." Another portrait said.

Everyone turned to see Sirius Black.

"Why were all you laughing earlier?" Arthur asked curiously looking at Sirius.

"Well, Harriet must've been reading a special journal that was created by Lily and her brother or she simply created it herself." Sirius said.

"Lily didn't have a brother!" Molly shrieked.

"I do have a friend and he was like a brother to me and Severus was my friend as well. However, if my mother and my father forgot to come and pick me up; he and his trusted butler would pick me up. He treated me like a little sister that he didn't have or couldn't have because his father was focused on trying to his friend. So, I told him that if he wanted that I could be his little sister." Lily said from her's and James's portrait.

"I'll never forget when I met him for the first time; he told me that I better not hurt his little sister, Lily flower because if I did then he would make sure that I would never see the light of day that was a promise." James stated.

"Why did he threaten you, James?" Bill asked curiously.

"He was protective of Lily and he was the one who gave Lily to me when we married." James answered.

"I remember that and both you and Lily told him that if you ever had kids you returned the threat by telling him that when you and Lily wanted alone you would send them his way." Remus said from his portrait with his wife, Nymphadora.

"Who are all these other portraits of?" Ron asked curiously.

"Really, Auror Weaseley? Are you telling me that you don't recognize Cedric Digory, Colin Creevey, a few others from school?" Draco stated.

Ron blushed from embarrassment.

Back in New York...

Phoenix was enjoying herself because she was training in fighting techniques with Natasha, Clint, Steve, and even her Uncle who she helped out in his lab.
