Chapter 49

Harry rushed to the hanger with his hood on. Captain Rogers joined him with Agent Romanoff and Agent Barton, who was carrying a bow and a lot of arrows. Harry said nothing as he joined them getting in the Quinjet. One of the technicians tried to stop them but Captain America was gentle in sending him off.

"Head for Stark Tower immediately. That's where Loki going to be." Harry ordered as he sat down in the coms chair. Barton flicked a few switches as the Quinjet took off.

"Hold on," Barton said as he took off from the hanger and into the open skies.

Harry flipped a few switches on the coms station before he finally got through the secure channel.

"Who are you calling?" Romanoff questioned as she tried her best to look back from the co-pilot seat.

"The State of New York. They need to know what is about to go down. Once the battle starts, a lot of civilians are going to get caught in the crossfire between us and Loki. If we can evacuate the city before the battle begins then we can prevent the loss of life. Yes, hello." Harry said as someone picked up.

"Welcome to the office of the Mayor of New York City…" the receptionist began before Harry cut her off.

"I don't have time for this. You need to evacuate the city immediately. An alien invasion is about to hit the city!" Harry said assertively. The woman was silent for a few moments.

"If this is a prank call then I don't have time…"

"I'm being very serious. An alien invasion is about to hit the city! You need to evacuate immediately," Harry half shouted into the mic.

"If you're trying to set up a prank to create mass panic then you chose the wrong office. Have a good day." With that said, the receptionist hung up.

"That didn't work out so well." Captain Rogers commented as he looked down to fix his gloves.

"Maybe not, but there is another way to get the warning out," Harry said as he begins to type on the computer.

"How?" Captain Rogers asked.

"Most of the city has speakers where music and other announcements are made. If I can hack into the system, then I can let the whole city know before the invasion occurs," Harry muttered. Soon Harry saw that he was connected.

"Attention citizens of New York. This is Raven of the Avengers." Harry said, speaking into the mic.

All over New York City, everyone stopped what they were doing to listen.

"An alien invasion is about to commence in Midtown with the goal of the total destruction of the city and eventually of the rest of the world. Their goal is to conquer the planet. Midtown is about to become a warzone. You need to evacuate immediately and get as far away as possible when the battle begins. You have approximately ten minutes before the invasion occurs. Get out while you still can." Harry set the headset down.

"You did well," Captain Rogers said as he looked at Harry and gave him a nod of approval.

"I hope they buy it. If they don't, a lot of people are going to die when they don't leave," Harry said as he bowed his head. He took a deep breath and centered himself.

This wasn't like the Battle of Hogwarts against Voldemort and his Death Eaters, although he could see some similarities. Loki was a bit insane with power like Voldemort had been. Only, Loki was truly cunning and had them dancing in the palm of his hands. Harry knew deep down that there was a slim chance at victory. However, he still smiled, remembering how one-sided the Battle of Hogwarts had been in favor of the Death Eaters. Not many had believed the Light could actually win. That was until dawn had arrived and the defenders of Hogwarts had overwhelmed the Death Eaters. He smiled as he remembered how Neville didn't lose courage and beheaded Nagini, as well as how Bellatrix Lestrange's ego got the best of her and she fell in battle.

He should have stayed. He shouldn't have left. However, it was too late to fix the past. He had a battle ahead of him with new comrades. Harry leaned back and took a deep breath.

Yes, the odds were stack against them. However, they did have something to help in their fight against the alien invasion. Something that, he had learned during his time at Hogwarts, always existed. They had hope.

And that's all they needed.

"We're approaching the city. It's really lighting up," Barton reported.

"Stark, we're at your three o'clock, heading northwest," Romanoff added as they began to fly between city skyscrapers. Barton switched from jet engines to rotor engine power, allowing the Quinjet to glide through the buildings with ease. Harry knew Jets would have great difficulties flying in between skyscrapers. It seemed the Quinjet had a dual engine system. Two mains, which was unusual. As far as Harry knew, most planes carried only a main engine system with a backup in place in case the main broke down or got damaged. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. engineers were ingenious. They had the jet system for long distance travel and turbines in the wings for a helicopter-like motion. It was an ingenious design.
