As the Peverells ventured far and wide in their ship, The Griffindor, the universe opened up in ways even Harry hadn't imagined. Alongside Hela, they witnessed countless alien species, from the noble Kree and the cunning Skrull to the industrious Xandarians. Yet, it wasn't until they arrived at the heart of the Nova Empire that Harry truly became captivated.
The Nova Empire was a sprawling civilization, teeming with diverse humanoid species. As their ship descended onto the capital planet, they were met with sights that rivaled and even surpassed the grandeur of Asgard. Skyscrapers of shimmering alloys pierced the skies, powered by technology that made even the most advanced Asgardian devices seem archaic. What intrigued Harry the most were the intricate systems of energy, matter manipulation, and biological enhancements woven into the fabric of their societies.
As a master of magic, Harry had always appreciated the arcane, but the sheer innovation and precision of these technologies were something he could not ignore. He marveled at the way these civilizations had harnessed energy sources unknown to the realms, and how certain species exhibited abilities that rivaled even the most powerful magic. Teleportation devices, advanced healing tech, and genetic modifications were common, making Harry's curiosity grow stronger with every new discovery.
Driven by his natural inclination for research and experimentation, Harry decided to dive deeper. With Hela at his side, they both shapeshifted into forms that matched the local inhabitants of each planet they visited. This allowed them to blend in seamlessly with the various species they encountered. Whether it was the blue-skinned Kree, the green-skinned Skrull, or the pale, luminous Xandarians, Harry and Hela adopted their appearances effortlessly.
Harry became especially fascinated by the biological enhancements that some species possessed. There were those with abilities to manipulate elements, control minds, or possess strength and durability far beyond what was natural. These were not just feats of magic but products of evolution, technology, and experimentation. Harry saw this as a challenge—could he, with his mastery of magic, replicate these abilities? Could he harness the unique powers of these species and adapt them through magical means?
With Hela's help, they began collecting samples—genetic material from the various species they encountered. It wasn't out of malice but pure scientific curiosity. Harry wanted to understand how such diverse life forms could develop such unique capabilities. Each sample he collected opened the door to more questions, more possibilities. He began to experiment, combining magic with advanced technology, pushing the boundaries of what was possible.
Hela, who enjoyed the thrill of adventure and supported Harry's thirst for knowledge, found herself becoming deeply involved in the study of these alien cultures. While Harry focused on the technology and genetics, Hela immersed herself in their customs and combat techniques, collecting new styles of warfare and tactics from across the galaxy. Together, they were the perfect pair: the researcher and the warrior, both seeking to grow stronger and wiser through their travels.
As they moved from planet to planet, their knowledge grew exponentially. They amassed information on energy manipulation from the Kree, shapeshifting techniques from the Skrull, and advanced healing capabilities from the Xandarians. Harry experimented with combining magic and science, seeking to break new ground in understanding how these abilities could be replicated—or even improved—by magical means.
Yet, even as they collected knowledge and pushed the boundaries of their abilities, Harry knew they were only scratching the surface of the cosmos' vast mysteries. Their journey had only just begun, and with every new planet they visited, Harry felt that there was an infinite well of possibilities waiting to be uncovered. The cosmos had so much to offer, and as long as they had The Marauders, Harry and Hela would explore it all.
Inside The Griffindor, Harry and Hela had made their ship into a treasure trove of discoveries. It wasn't just a vessel for travel, but a sanctuary for their insatiable curiosity and ever-expanding collection. They had magically expanded several storage units deep within the ship, making them far larger on the inside than they appeared. Each one was filled with the spoils of their cosmic travels, gathered meticulously and in secret.
The couple's collection ranged from the rarest alien weapons to exotic foods and even fashion items that caught Hela's eye. Hela, with her keen sense of style and elegance, often indulged in acquiring the most stunning garments from the various cultures they encountered. She marveled at the intricacies of their designs, each piece representing the unique art and tradition of its origin. Whether it was elaborate robes adorned with gemstones from the Nova Empire or battle armor that shimmered with energy from the Kree, Hela cherished each item as a reflection of their journey.
Harry, on the other hand, was more captivated by the technology they encountered. What started as a fascination with alien culture and tech quickly evolved into an obsession. Advanced energy weapons, holographic communication devices, and artificial intelligence systems—all of these became part of their hidden stockpile. Harry's mind was constantly racing with ideas on how he could blend the ancient arts of magic with the cutting-edge technology of these far-flung species. He theorized that there was much to be learned by integrating the two—perhaps even creating a new form of magic altogether, something that transcended the boundaries of what both science and sorcery could achieve on their own.
The secret to their ever-growing collection was their discretion. Harry and Hela ensured that no one knew of their efforts, not even the Asgardians who might have suspected them of holding too much power. Whenever they arrived on a new planet or encountered a new species, Harry would cast powerful concealment charms that hid their actions from prying eyes. What appeared to others as simple sightseeing or diplomacy was actually much more—strategic acquisitions of the universe's most valuable treasures.
The most ambitious part of their ship was the lab they set up within The Griffindor. It was a hidden chamber, protected by both magic and cutting-edge security systems. Here, Harry conducted his experiments, blending magical theory with alien technology. He studied everything they collected, from energy cells to biological samples. His main goal was to understand how to incorporate these technological advancements into magic—could he infuse wands with alien power sources? Could a magical shield be enhanced by a force field generator? These were questions Harry was determined to answer.
The lab became a center for experimentation. Harry spent hours, sometimes days, buried in his work, pouring over alien blueprints, reverse-engineering devices, and running tests on magical enhancements. With every discovery, his understanding of technology deepened, and he began to see the potential of magic beyond anything he had known. Hela, though more focused on battle and strategy, also found herself intrigued by the possibilities of their lab. She joined Harry at times, sparring with him to test new weapon prototypes or practicing with enchanted armor that melded magic with technology.
As they continued their travels, their collection grew more diverse, and their experiments more ambitious. The storage units became filled with powerful relics, data crystals containing knowledge of civilizations long gone, and even biological samples from the most extraordinary species they had encountered. Harry's desire to push the limits of what magic could do, paired with his growing interest in technology, made him a pioneer in a field few would ever dream of exploring.
Together, Harry and Hela forged ahead into the vast unknown, their ship The Griffindor not just a vessel of travel but a vault of cosmic secrets waiting to be unlocked. With every planet they visited, they collected more, learned more, and became more powerful than ever before. And though their actions remained hidden from the rest of the cosmos, Harry and Hela knew that what they were building in secret could one day reshape the very fabric of reality.
As the years passed aboard The Griffindor, Harry's experiments took on a life of their own. His laboratory became a hub of unprecedented discovery, where magic met science in ways no one had ever imagined. After countless trials and meticulous research, he finally created something extraordinary: a formula that could replicate the unique abilities of alien species, distilling their powers into a serum. This breakthrough didn't transform people into other species physically, but it gave them their abilities—strength, endurance, regeneration, shape-shifting, and more.
One evening, after bottling his 100th serum, Harry leaned back in his chair, the soft hum of alien machinery surrounding him. Hela entered the lab, her eyes glowing with curiosity.
"What is it?" she asked, crossing her arms. "You've been down here for days."
Harry smiled, holding up one of the small vials. "This. It's finally finished. I've created a serum that can give anyone the abilities of the most powerful races in the universe."
Hela's eyes widened, a look of awe crossing her face. "You mean... like turning a human into an Asgardian? Or giving them the strength of a Kree?"
"Not exactly," Harry corrected. "It won't physically turn someone into that species. But it will give them their abilities. A Midgardian could have the strength of an Asgardian, or the regeneration of a Skrull, or even the shape-shifting powers of a Kree."
Hela stepped closer, her expression one of intense interest. "You've outdone yourself, Haraldin," she said softly, her voice filled with admiration. "This is beyond anything I ever thought possible."
Harry turned to her, a look of pride mixed with caution on his face. "It wasn't easy. And we've collected a lot of blood from various species, traded for it, sometimes in ways I'd rather not think too much about."
Hela gave a wry smile. "Oh, come now. The Skrulls were more than happy with the trade. They had no idea what we could do with their blood. To them, it was nothing more than an odd request for food and goods."
"And you knew you'd have to donate some of your own blood eventually," Harry added, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm prepared for that," Hela said, her eyes flashing with determination. "But what I'm more interested in is... when do I get to try it?"
Harry frowned. "Hela, you already have immense power. You don't need—"
"I'm not asking if I need it, Harry. I want it. You've created something incredible here, and you expect me to sit by while we travel across the cosmos collecting all these abilities without using them?"
Harry sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's not that simple. I haven't tested it on anyone yet. The formula works in theory, but I don't know how it might affect someone long-term. It's not just about gaining power; it could have side effects, complications we haven't foreseen."
Hela's expression softened as she stepped closer to him, placing a hand on his arm. "I trust you, Haraldin. If there's anyone in the universe who can make this work, it's you. And besides... imagine what we could do together if I had some of these abilities. We would be unstoppable."
Harry chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "You're already unstoppable."
"But think about it," Hela pressed, her voice dropping to a low, seductive tone. "Imagine me with the strength of a Kree, the regeneration of a Skrull... or the shape-shifting powers of an ancient Celestial. We'd be more than just husband and wife. We'd be gods among gods."
Harry met her gaze, torn between his caution as a scientist and the undeniable allure of her words. "I've created over a hundred different serums from ancient alien species, Hela. These aren't just ordinary abilities. Some of these are dangerous."
"And who better to handle dangerous power than the Princess of Asgard and the master of magic himself?" she countered, her smile widening.
Harry sighed again, but this time there was a hint of a smile on his face. "You're never going to stop nagging me about this, are you?"
"Not a chance," she said, her eyes gleaming. "You should know by now, Harry. I always get what I want."
He shook his head, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Alright, but if I'm going to let you try one of these serums, we'll start small. Something less... volatile."
Hela grinned triumphantly. "Fair enough. But I expect to try something extraordinary soon. After all, what's the point of traveling the universe if I can't experience the powers of its most ancient and powerful races?"
Harry reached for one of the vials, carefully selecting one. "This one is from the Xandarians. It should enhance your strength and endurance without too much risk."
Hela watched him with eager anticipation as he handed her the vial. She uncorked it and downed the contents in one swift motion. A moment passed, and she closed her eyes, feeling the serum take effect.
Her eyes snapped open, a fierce light in them. "I feel... stronger," she said, her voice a low, dangerous whisper. She flexed her hands, feeling the power coursing through her veins. "This is incredible."
Harry watched her carefully, his expression a mixture of pride and concern. "Just take it slow, alright? We don't know how your body will react in the long run."
Hela's grin widened. "Slow isn't exactly my style, Haraldin. But don't worry... I'll be careful. For now."
As she walked out of the lab, Harry stood there, his mind racing with the possibilities—and the risks. They had unlocked something powerful, something that could change the very fabric of the cosmos. But with great power came great danger, and Harry knew that they were only beginning to understand what they had truly unleashed.
