Last Stand

"Yes of course, Merlin forbid our lives be any easier to save." Harry sighed.

"We can't get any closer to that." Jane said as she gestured to the storm.

"Perhaps not, but I can." Thor said as he took the devices from the Selvig.

"I'll come with you, just in case." Harry said.

"I will follow." Sif said. "I'm a warrior too," She said when Harry and Thor looked like they were about to object. "I am capable of looking after myself."

"Actually what I was going to say was if you're coming then Loki will look after these lot." Harry said as he gestured to Jane and the others.

"You're trusting me to look after them?" Loki asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, and I am trusting Padfoot to watch you." Harry said just as Padfoot barked. "Now come on." He added to Thor and Sif, both followed him as they headed towards the storm. They had only taken a few steps when a group of dark elves stopped in front of them. "Thor, me and Sif will deal with them, keep the devices safe." Harry ordered.

"Are you ready to fight?" Sif asked as she pulled out her sword.

"Ready whenever you are, Sif. " Harry said as he pulled out a sword from his armour body using his free hand. Sif and Harry charged towards the group, Sif quickly began sliding in-between the elves and cutting them down with her sword. Harry did the same but also sent a few spells in-between dodging and slicing, the two made quick work of the elves and joined Thor who had gone past them and into the Aether storm during the fight.

Once inside they saw Malekith with his arms stretched out, releasing the Aether. It was difficult to move with the Aether storm pushing them back.

"Malekith!" Thor yelled. Malekith turned to them, not showing the slightest sign of surprise.

"Darkness returns Asgardians, have you come to witness the destruction of your universe?" Malekith asked calmly.

"We do not give up!" Sif spat.

"We have come to accept your surrender." Thor said, glaring at Malekith. Malekith raised an arm, looking ready to attack, unfortunately for him Harry was faster. Harry sent a high powered lightning bolt at Malekith who was barely able to shield in time. Sif quickly took one of the devices in Thor's hand and threw it upwards, it arced down and pierced through Malekith's right arm.

A second later Malekith's arm disappeared along with the device, Thor quickly threw another one that got rid of Malekith's other arm. Though it didn't appear to do much good as Malekith was able to regrow his limbs with the help of the Aether.

"Uh guys, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining but can the next one go somewhere more important?" Harry asked. "Like his head or his chest? Even his cock?"

"You think you can stop this?! The Aether cannot be destroyed!" Malekith yelled as his arms

"Because I'm not going to rip the Aether out of his head." Harry whispered to Thor as he pulled out a container. "Ready?"

"Ready." Thor nodded as he rushed towards Malekith while holding one of Jane's devices in his hand while using the other to summon Mjolnir to his hand.

"Ready." Sif nodded as she pulled out a container to hold the Aether, she tossed it to Harry.

"As I'll ever be." Harry nodded as he caught it.

Sif grabbed his arm and Harry teleported the two of them in front of Malekith, Malekith looked surprised but quickly recovered and threw a punch at Harry who ducked and cast an acid spell that hit Malekith in the eye. Malekith roared in pain but Sif did not allow him long to get used to it before she stabbed him in the chest with her sword, she pulled on it, slicing all the way down, causing a massive cut from the chest to stomach. Harry, with the container in his hand, shoved his arm into the hole before Malekith could repair it.

Harry roared in Malekith's face before he pulled his hand his hand out of Malekith just before Sif kicked him a great distance away. The pair looked at Malekith and saw that he still had some of the Aether left in him but it was flying out of him to rejoin the rest Harry had in the container. Harry assumed that was because he had the main part of the Aether. Malekith was barely able to get to his feet when Thor jumped over Harry and slammed one of the devices into Malekith's chest and while using Mjolnir to slam him away with as much as force as possible. Malekith went flying backwards until he crashed into his ship.

Thor and Harry were unfortunate enough to be thrown backwards as well thanks to some of the Aether still being in Malekith. The device activated and Malekith disappeared with a scream, Thor was blasted the farthest away while Harry and Sif flew back a quarter of the distance that Thor had as they weren't as close.

The container nearly fell out of Harry's hand but he managed to barely keep it in his hand, he was struggling to hold it still as the rest of the Aether flew into it. Harry slammed the container shut before letting out a sigh of relief. He got to his feet and looked around, the rifts had disappeared and it looked like the convergence was over. He looked around at the others and saw that they were standing there, perfectly unharmed, or at least as unharmed as they could get. Though it did not escape Harry's notice that there were a couple more dead dark elves than before and that Loki had a dagger in his hand.

"Is it done?" Sif asked as she stood up.

"Yeah," Harry sighed as he nodded his head. "I've got it here." Harry said as he tossed the container to Thor who had walked up to them.

"It's done!" Thor grinned happily before walking towards the others.

"That was a good battle." Sif spoke once Thor was far enough away to not hear her.

"Not my best, not my worst." Harry nodded. "You did good today."

"Not as well or even as much as you." Lady Sif replied with a small smile.

"You did your part and kept the brains of the group safe." Harry replied. "You were important today."

"Thank you," She blushed ever so slightly. "I will probably have to go back to Asgard after this."

"If Odin causes you any problems then just say the word and I'll come and help." Harry responded, he was rather worried about what Odin could try to do. Harry was rather hoping that the old guy would just stick to staying in Asgard and let the guy's off with a warning since they did just save all the realms after all.

"Thank you." Sif said softly before she took another step towards Harry, she looked rather tense and nervous.

"Sif? I…" Harry found himself cut off when Sif grabbed him by the back of his head and pulled him into a short but passionate kiss.

"Thank you Harry." She smiled brightly at him before she walked away towards the others. Harry didn't respond as it took him several moments for his brain to reboot, but once that had happened he was finally able to speak the words that were on his mind.

"The fuck?"
