And here is chapter 31. Finally got too a thousand reviews. Thank you guys so much for all the support. Sorry I had to delay this chapter but I did have to study quite a bit for finals. Luckily I passed all of them! I'm not quite sure but I think this story is probably at least 3/4 done. I've been thinking of some other stories I will pursue after this one. No sure things yet but I got some stirring in this old head of mine. Thanks to everyone who follows/favorite/reviews. It means so much to me to see all your feedback. Now, onto the story.

April 20th, 2012

Harry was sitting in his new penthouse in downtown New York. It was nice and roomy as well as giving him a great view of the city. It cost a lot but he could afford to splurge now a days. He was reading through some of the reports on what was going on his company. His magical department was now fully controlled by Ren and only really had him sign off on things that were being introduced to the magical public. Almost of the Americas and most of Europe was now fully immersed with his products. The magical side of his corporation was easy to run, it was the muggle world that was harder. Apparently it was suspicious if his products or materials just "magically appeared" at the places they needed to be without any records. He had to start a shipping branch for his company. He figured that he might as well turn that into another full money making business so he was working on partnering with some other corporations who needed to move materials all over the world. He was having Daphne looking into calling them and finding out if they would be interested. Most were just greedy men who wanted to know if his service was cheaper than competitors and if they could depend on him to get their products to their destination in a timely fashion.

He could deal with these things though. Despite his age, he was a very intimidating person and most people could not stand up to him if he showed them even a glimpse of his true form. Despite all this business with his company, his mind was somewhere else. He wasn't sure where but he could feel a disturbance in magic itself. The disturbance was so large that he could not actually pinpoint its exact location. All he knew was that whatever it was, it was generating a lot of power and was somewhere in America. He was almost sure that Shield was looking into it so he wasn't bothering with it himself unless it some how became a threat. When discussing this with Tony earlier that day. He got the feeling that Tony had an idea what it was when they talked but he hadn't told Harry. Harry respected the mans privacy on the subject though so he let it go. He continued to go over his work when his mind wandered to Rose.

He was sure the girl was safe as he had placed a rune on her that would alert him to anything that she perceived as danger. He also put some protections on her that would protect her from lower leveled charms and hexes but nothing to advanced. With the civil war officially starting in magical Britain, he wanted every safety precaution available to Rose.

Harry stopped his train of thought as he felt a change with the disturbance in the magic he had been feeling. The magic or energy seemed to finally pulse in a way that reminded Harry of a implosion, similar to the way he traveled except much less refined. He paused to see what else he could feel. The energy that was causing the disturbance he had been feeling was rapidly receding. With in a few minutes he no longer felt anything. He gave it a second before he felt something in place of the large energy he just felt. This one was clearly a sentient being with the way that the energy was condensed around him. The said being then shielded itself before Harry could determine its position. Harry frowned. He had not felt a presence this strong since the alien who called himself Thor had came to Earth. It was more bothersome that the person knew how to hide his presence. It was not particularly hard to do such a thing but It was very unusual for someone to be adept enough to hide from Harry's senses . He did not like this arrival of an unknown and would have to be on the lookout for any strange occurrences. He then looked around his room out the window. It was very late. It was probably best to sleep. He went to his room and was greeted by Sammy.

"Is it safe to assume you felt the arrival of our guest?" she asked. Harry nodded before taking off his clothes and climbing into bed.

"Do you not plan to do anything about it?" she asked him incredulously.

"I can't find him even if I wanted to. It's cloaking skills are to good for me to be able to sense him at such a distance. If whatever it is starts causing trouble here though, I will confront it and put it in it's place." Harry said.

"If its powerful enough to hide from your senses then it must be at least semi adequate with magical use. Unlike most of those wand waving fools." Sammy commented. Harry again nodded.

"Yes, it was quite powerful. Still, from the brief glimpse of its power that I sensed before it cloaked itself, it still isn't powerful to take me on. All though it may cause me to work up a sweat depending on how well it can use its power." Harry relented. Sammy didn't comment further. She just flicked he tongue in thought and stayed silent. Harry took this to mean she had no more questions. He closed his eyes and waited for sleep to overtake him.

April 21st,2012

As the day continued to progress, Harry had a strange feeling. It wasn't bad but he definitely could feel a difference. He knew something was going to happen and it was going to be soon. He also had a feeling that it had to do with whatever being had come to their planet yesterday. He had not felt the being at all but he knew it was out there lurking somewhere. He pulled out his phone and called Daphne.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, I was thinking that we are going to need a new head of our shipping branch. Do you think Tracey would do it?" Harry asked her.

"I'll check with her but she will have to go through training to deal with such a position." Daphne stated.

"Will that cost a lot?" Harry asked.

"Not too much." Daphne responded.

"Great, make it happen. Also how are the hospitals doing?" Harry asked.

"We are just about through with the construction of the third one in Houston. The other two are as busy as ever. Our medicine department believes that they may be onto a possible cure for Malaria. They say its far from complete though so we shouldn't get our hopes up." Daphne said. Harry thought about that. Curing Malaria would be huge press for the company.

"Boost their pay and make sure they understand that the closer they get to forming the cure, the closer the get to an even bigger paycheck." Harry said.

"Hmm. I suppose that could work. Alright I'll let finances know. Anything else?" she asked.

"Nope that's it for work related stuff." Harry said.

"I assume you have something non work related that you want to talk about then?" she asked with a hint of sarcasm. Harry smirked.

"Indeed I do. What do you know, if anything, about the little disturbance yesterday?" Harry asked.

"Probably less than you. I felt the disturbance implode and that's it." she said.

"So you didn't feel the being that entered Earth with the implosion?" Although it was phrased like a question, Harry said it like a statement.

"No I did not. What being came through it?" she asked.

"No idea." Harry said back cheerily.

"You didn't investigate?" she asked incredulously.

"More like couldn't. The being seemed to be able to cloak itself and hide its presence almost as soon as it got here." Harry stated.

"It's powerful enough to hide itself from you?" she asked surprised.

"Indeed it is. Pretty scary right? From the slight second where I felt its power, it felt pretty strong. It might actually be a challenge." Harry said.

"Something being able to actually challenge you is a little scary." Daphne pointed out. Harry smiled at that.

"I said might be a challenge. I'm not sure how well it uses its powers to know if its going to be an actual challenge or not." Harry said.

"That's not comforting." Daphne sighed. "Well keep me up to date on any information you get."

"Will do. I'll see you at work." Harry said before hanging up the phone. He looked out his window once again but this time looked at Stark tower. It had turned out pretty well in Harry's opinion. Looked big like Tony's ego so it fit well in his opinion. It was getting dark so he figured that he would order a pizza and play some video games. He still had Saints Row 3 to beat after all. He ordered up the pizza and got relaxed on the couch before popping in the game and starting up his console. The game was fun. Had a lot of fun scenes in it. He particularly liked beating people up with a dildo. That would be something he would have to try later. He heard the doorbell ring and got up to go grab his pizza. He got to the door and opened it up. His eyes bulged a little when he didn't see Dylan, the usual pizza boy, when he opened the door. Instead was a red head wearing tight leather pants with a matching leather jacket with a red blouse under it. In her hands was a white box with what he assumed to be his pizza inside.

'I really need to start spreading my senses out again and making sure I know who I'm about to face'

"Did you kill my usual pizza boy?" Harry immediately questioned. Natasha rolled her eyes and pushed by him and into his apartment. Harry let her and watched her move to his table.

"That was a serious question." Harry called out to her. He heard her chuckle from the table as she put down the pizza and started looking for plates in his cabinets and seemingly made herself at home. Harry sent a quick prayer to Dylan before closing the door and walking over to the table which she was now sitting in and helping herself to a slice of his pizza.

"No please. Go ahead and make yourself at home." Harry drawled sarcastically.

"Am I not welcome?" she asked as she continued to bite into the pizza slice. Harry just sighed and joined her across the table before grabbing a slice.

"Any reason you came to my house and decided to join in on my dinner?" Harry asked as he bite into his delicious pizza.

"I was just in Russia getting worked over by some small general who thought he was hot shit. I really needed a quick break." she said. Harry raised an eyebrow but didn't comment.

"Just so you know, the wire on you won't work while in my apartment. All anyone will here is static." Harry said.

"Good to know. So what has the big, bag, Wolfe Enterprise CEO been up to since the last time I saw him?" she asked. Harry recognized the fact that she was purposely making small talk which probably meant she wanted him to do something for Shield. He decided to play along anyways.

"Well, we are opening up a shipping branch soon, though I'm sure Shield already knew that." Harry commented. She seemed to pretend to not here the last part as she nodded and grabbed another slice.

"That's good. Your business seems to be going well. You have national attention for being one of the fastest growing enterprises in the world. You have my congratulations." she said with a smile. Harry smiled back.

"Well it is me after all. I'm handsome, charismatic, and can still scare people shitless. What more would you ask for in the perfect businessman." Harry asked rhetorically. Natasha nodded in agreement.

"Does seem to be a common trait in most of the powerful businessmen I have met." she said as she got up and went to his fridge and opened it.

"No please, help yourself." Harry said sarcastically as he continued to eat his own pizza. Natasha smiled but didn't respond.

"Do you not have anything with alcohol?" she asked. Harry shook his head.

"Never developed a taste for it." Harry said.

"Ugh. Fine." she reached and grabbed one of his sodas and sat back down at the table across from him.

"So, are you going to tell me what you are doing here soon or not?" Harry asked.

"Do you want to jump right into what Shield wants. Don't even want to finish dinner first?" she asked. Harry shrugged.

"It matters little to me, usually you are on a pretty tight schedule." Harry said.

"Shied has given me all night if necessary to convince you." she said. That caused Harry's eyebrows to raise. It was easy enough to connect the dots when she said it.

"They want you to have sex with me if I'm not cooperating." Harry guessed. She didn't say anything before nodding in confirmation.

"Must be important. So why don't you go ahead and brief me on the situation." Harry said.

"If that's what you want. We have a situation of a hostile, foreign being on Earth and out to take over the planet." Natasha said. As soon as she said it, Harry had no doubt it was the being that had come through the magical implosion yesterday. Since he knew that happened only yesterday that meant that Natasha was sent from Russia all the way straight to his apartment with likely no rest.

"Wow. I can see why you needed to take a breather in my apartment. So what can you tell me about this foreign hostile. And don't tell me he is not from Earth because I already know that." Harry said. Natasha looked at him with suspicion.

"How do you know that?" she asked.

"It's not like I couldn't feel the huge amount of energy that was being released by whatever object he used to get here. I also felt him for a second when he got here before he could cloak his presence. Now continue on with what I need to be able to know about the hostile." Harry pressed after explaining. Natasha looked at him for a second before accepting his explanation.

"Do you remember Thor?" she asked. Harry nodded.

"Well it's his younger, adopted, brother Loki." she said. Harry thought about that. It certainly made more sense why the man was so good at cloaking himself. The trickster god was supposedly an expert on magic that had to do with transfiguration and illusions.

"Hmm. That sounds not good. So Shield came to me immediately for help. Did you ask anyone else?" Harry asked. Natasha hesitated before nodding again.

"We are also recruiting Tony and Dr. Bruce Banner as well as Steve Rogers." she said. Harry pondered that for a minute.

"Tony I know, the other two I am unfamiliar with." Harry said

"You've never heard of Captain America or the Hulk?" she asked as if he were an idiot. Harry racked his mind but was drawing up blanks for both.

"Nope. Neither ring a bell. Who are they?" Harry questioned.

"One is a super soldier from WWII that was frozen in ice and the other is a scientist who turns into a giant green ball of anger and strength when he gets mad." she said. Harry looked at her to see if she was serious. She seemed to be telling the truth.

"Well...okay then." Harry said. He wasn't sure what he should say to that.

"So, will you help us with this threat?" Natasha asked. Harry didn't answer immediately. He really wanted to though. The chance to face a supposed god of magic and put them in their place sounded so pleasing. He almost smiled just from the thought of it. It would also give him a chance to see how immortal the supposed god really was.

"Well...it does interest me, I will admit that. Ah well, what the hell. This sounds fun. Especially if Tony is getting involved too. But you guys owe me one for this." Harry relented. He could not pass up this chance. He might get to do surgery on an god! It sounded like it would be quite the informative trip. Natasha smiled at him.

"Thank you. We really appreciate the help. Are you ready to leave now?" She asked. Harry briefly glanced back to his game and how he was paused in the middle of a level. He sighed.

"Yeah, I guess. Let me go get my clothes." He said dully. She raised an eyebrow.

"Is something wrong?" she asked him. Harry just shook his head while silently mourning his game time. Why were woman always getting in the way of him playing video games? He went into his room and packed clothes for about a week trip,

"Sammy, I'm leaving on a trip to try and kill a god of magic. I'll be back hopefully in a week." Harry called out.

"Okay. Don't forget to take a jacket and be home by Friday. Have fun." she called from somewhere under the bed.

Harry nodded even though he knew she couldn't see it and exited down to the door of his apartment where Natasha was waiting. She looked at his packed bag.

"Alright ready to go." Harry said.

"What was that weird noise from upstairs?" she asked. Harry just looked at her confused.

"What noise?" he asked

"Sounded almost like a hissing." she said. Harry knew what she was talking about but just continued to look at her with a confused expression on his face. She shook her head.

"Never mind, lets go." she said. Harry nodded and exited the apartment after her and locked it up before following her down the stairs to her parked car. It looked like an Acura. He got in after putting his bag in the bag. As she started up the car, a thought struck Harry.

"Wait, what DID you do with my usual delivery boy." Harry asked.

"Who the blonde kid? I just batted my eyelashes and paid him for the pizza before saying I would taking it up to you." she said with a smile. Harry frowned. He was almost a 100% sure that Dylan now thought he know had a secret super model girlfriend.

"Is that a problem?" Natasha asked with a smirk. Harry looked at her.

"Well its going to be awkward to talk to him when I order pizza again." Harry said. Natasha just smiled and started driving to wherever their transport was waiting for them.

12 Hours

They had just touched down on the carrier and got out of the plane. Harry had learned on the trip that Agent Barton was apparently compromised by Loki. That did surprise Harry. While the man wasn't the best he had ever seen, he was definitely what he considered in the top tier of assassins and mercenaries. To know Loki could get him so easily spoke of how impressive Loki's power was. Harry could probably do the same but he had stopped taking away peoples free will a long time ago. It just didn't feel right to him. When they landed it was already morning and Natasha told him to follow her to the rest of the team. They approached two men on the platform. On was buff, tall, and looked to be radiating nobility as if he were a knight or something. The other appeared much more down to earth and was looking a little nervous. Natasha walked right up to them.

"Hello Captain, Dr. Banner. I am Agent Romanoff. Pleasure to be working with you." Natasha said politely. Harry thought about how no one would ever guess at that moment that she basically just walked into his house and helped herself to all his luxuries.

"This here is Harry Wolfe. He will also being joining us on the mission to stop Loki." Natasha said. Banner looked a little confused on what good Harry would be to the team while Steve's face hardened.

"Shield is recruiting kids now?" he asked stiffly. Harry smirked at the man but said nothing.

"He is not Shield trained. He is what we call a consultant. Also, don't let his appearance fool you Captain. You are looking at one of, if not the most, skilled assassin in the world." Natasha said. Harry watched Steve face soften but still seemed confused.

"He can't be older than 19." Steve commented.

"I'm 17 and please stop talking as if I'm not here. I may take offense to it." Harry warned.

"Trust me Captain. Mr. Wolfe is more than capable. Now, Harry, calm down before you do something rash." Natasha commanded. Harry did an over the top bow.

"As the lady wishes. Now why don't we find out where this supposed god is so I can cause him bodily harm." Harry said, barely containing his excitement. Natasha lead them inside where some agents took their bags and put them in the rooms they would be staying in. Then they were lead to the bridge where Harry saw a familiar sight.

"Oh Fury. How dreadful to see your one eyed face again." Harry said.

"Feelings mutual Wolfe." Fury shot back.

"Director." Steve said in greeting as he shook the mans hand and Banner followed suit.

"You have all been briefed on why you are here. As much I would like to give you a private tour of the facilities, we need you to head out. We just got a signal on Loki's position. He is in Germany. We need to move on him now before its too late." Fury said. He turned to Harry and Steve.

"You two need to suit up ASAP!" he said before addressing Banner and showing him to his new quarters and lab.

2 ½ hours later

Harry and Steve were in the back of the Shield jet with Natasha driving. They were already in German airspace.

"You two get ready. Loki was just spotted in a courtyard with hostages." Natasha called back to them.

"Got it." the Captain yelled back at her. They flew over the courtyard to witness Loki making some sort of speech while smiling to a bunch of cowering people while an old man stood defiantly.

"You better head down. He plans to kill that man." Harry informed Captain America. Steve immediately jumped out and made it just in time to block an attack of pure energy from striking the old man. That surprised Harry. That shield of his must have been made of something incredibly strong. Harry jumped out too but cloaked himself with invisibility as he touched down. He also made sure to suppress his aura. He watched the Captain make a speech before he and Loki started to fight. Harry stood back and watched the way his enemy moved. He was a good enough fighter but clearly was no expert. It was also clear that he wasn't as good with the spear in close quarters considering how he was almost flaying it around to hit Captain America. He made up for his lack of skill with his superior strength and slipperiness.

The fight continued until Captain America was put on his back. Harry was about to intervene when he heard classic rock start to play in his comm and a voice speak.

"Agent Romanoff, did you miss me?" Tony said cockily through the comm. Harry couldn't help but smile at the mans entrance. Tony came flying in with his suit on. Before Loki could even try to fire his spear at the man, Tony pointed his repulsors at the man and fired. The trickster god flew backwards before coming to a stop on no longer moving. Tony walked up to him.

"It's over Loki." Tony said with confidence. Harry could not hold back any longer.

"Could you be anymore cheesy Tony? Jesus!" Harry said with a laugh.

"Harry? When did you get her?" Tony asked in surprise.

"I've been here the whole time. Honestly wish I had recorded that so I could show the world how corny you really are. 'It's over Loki.' Are you kidding me?" Harry questioned as he laughed harder.

"Hey! I had to come up with it on the fly. Hero's always have to have the last word you know."

"Ladies you're both beautiful but if we could stop arguing and detain the lethal god, that would be just great." Natasha broke in.

"Alright, alright. Excuse us for having a friendly chat." Tony said as he picked up Loki. Harry uncloaked himself and walked up to the jet.

"Where were you?" Steve asked with some annoyance.

"Watching you get you're ass kicked for the most part." Harry said with a smile.

"Didn't think you could help?" Steve questioned.

"No I could've. I was going to tag in when he got you to the ground but Tony did it for me so..." Harry explained. Steve still didn't look pleased but he dropped the topic.

"Alright boys. Lets get this one home and call it a day." Natasha said as she started the jet back up. Just as she said that, Harry felt another energy source just touch done in America. A signal he recognized as another supposed god. As soon as the Thor touched down, he could feel the man flying from the other side of the planet towards them. He would most likely meet them before they got to the carrier. Harry just smirked to himself.

"Yeah. Lets go home." he said knowingly.

'Sweet! Two for the price of one!'

And there is chapter 31. We started the Avengers movie! Hope you guys like the first chapter of it. Obviously the movie is only 2 hours long so I'm not sure how many chapters I will be able to stretch this out too. I'll do my best to give as much detail as possible without droning on and clearly trying to extend the chapter length. Once again, thanks to everyone who gives this story support. I will hopefully have the next chapter posted next week as long as my schedule permits it.
