Chapter 86: Chapter 4: The Boys Are Back
Chapter Four: The Boys Are Back.
"Well, if there is one thing that I can't fault you on, no matter how hard that I try, is that you always keep your promises."
Lois said this as she held onto Harry's arm as the two of them walked into one of the most exclusive places in the entire city. Harry wondered if he was going to need to have the smile surgically removed from Lois's face for it was wide and extremely prominent. The two of them made their way inside after showing his credentials.
Harry was wearing a very fancy tuxedo, which he supposed that he looked fairly nice in. Although this type of suit didn't suit him, it was all about projecting a certain image to the public eye. Ever since his takeover of the Hellfire Club, he had a few new doors opened to him. He also made it his mission to close a few doors on a couple of others.
"It's nice that the two of us are able to get together outside of work, because it's been rare over the past couple of weeks," Harry told Lois as the two of them stepped inside and they were escorted to their table.
"It is," Lois agreed with the smile that she could barely keep off of her face. She could see the sun setting and it was beautiful although her reporter instincts sensed that there was something extremely eerie about that particular sunset.
She wondered if this was going to be the night that Harry was going reveal who he really was to her. A part of her also wondered if he knew, that she knew, but was going to not say anything, because he wanted her to be the one to admit that she was wrong.
Lois wasn't down for that one, Lois Lane invented the stubborn game.
"So how's your sister?" Harry asked her and she smiled.
"Lucy….she's mostly staying out of trouble, at least I haven't gotten a phone call to bail her out recently," Lois commented, as she sat down across from him and they waited for the waiter to come to take their order.
"I'm sure you've gotten in your fair share of trouble, Miss Lane," Harry told her.
Lois frowned innocently. "I have no idea what you might be referring to, Mr. Potter."
Harry smiled then paused, as there was a moment where he thought that the waiter was about to come to him but did not, before offering his one word response. "Right."
Harry wondered if Lois was going to bring up the Elephant in the room, although he knew that she figured that out months ago. Although there were a couple of months that she got fooled by a pair of glasses and she was quite embarassed by it, that much he could tell.
And she was not about to admit that she got fooled, so Harry was not going to insult her intelligence.
"So how are things at the school?" Lois asked Harry and he smiled.
"Couple of new recruits. Chloe's really getting things going on the Torch. I also added some security to your apartment."
"Yeah, the Death threats are piling in, do you get the feeling that Creed's about to do something stupid?" Lois asked him and Harry offered her a smile at that. "I know, bringing up work when we're supposed to be on a date it's just…."
"Yeah, I have that feeling that Creed's going to do something stupid. You're right on the ball with that one, Lois," Harry told her as he reached over to take her hand in his. "But, whatever it is…."
Whatever it was, Harry never had a chance to finish for a loud bang echoed from outside of the room. Harry stood up straight, turning around at the sound of a second and then a third explosion, which caused the ground to rumble beneath their feet.
'And it wouldn't be a day in the life of Harry Potter if….some shit didn't get fucked up,' Harry finished lamely.
'We're about three blocks away,' Jean offered to Harry. 'That being Kitty, Rogue, and I, you want us to take a look into it?'
'Yes, please,' Harry thought.
Lois frowned as she looked over her shoulder. She had no idea what happened but it sounded like a story. At least that's what one would gather from the explosions that could be heard although the source was still yet to be determined. The young woman sat up straighter than ever before.
"What is going on?" Lois asked as she made her way over to the window and suddenly, the ground rocked underneath her once more.
Harry caught Lois around the waist and held her up.
"I think there's been an attack," Harry whispered to her and despite herself, Lois could not help but spit out the sarcasm.
"You think so, Captain Obvious?" Lois asked Harry and he raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I know but…."
"Stay here. I'll see what I can do to help," Harry told Lois as he slipped off to the side and made his way onto the scene.
He figured that was the closest that he was going to admit to being who he was to Lois without her bringing it up first. And he had a feeling that she knew that as well but there was another loud shake under the ground caused him to hasten his steps.
'It's Avalanche,' Kitty thought as she dodged the falling buildings.
'Yeah, and he brought all of his little friends,' Rogue thought as she dodged slime that Toad vomited from his mouth, which blew up a car upon making contact with it. 'Do not let that stuff touch you.'
'Wait…it sounds like you're having trouble…..with the Brotherhood?' Harry asked. He thought that the girls were doing rather well in their training. So he was more than surprised, that they were having issues with such a low level threat like the Brotherhood.
''No, it's so totally...no trouble...it's…' Kitty rambled then she screamed, as the Earth underneath her feet moved and then several cars went flying. Thankfully she was able to go intangible to avoid being crushed into paste by objects several times bigger than her.
Harry frowned, those screams sounded like they were having a lot of trouble. He turned around and blasted down the hallway, faster than a speeding bullet.
He landed on the ground and he saw the Blob standing there.
"Alright! Finally, I was wondering when you'd show up!" Blob yelled as he held up his arms triumphantly. "You'll pay for embarrassing me!"
"You do a pretty good job of doing that yourself," Harry commented in a dry voice but Quicksilver blasted at him from behind at super speed.
Harry suddenly felt winded as the speedy mutant came in proximity to him. The half second delay being all Quicksilver needed as he pushed him forwards rather hard.
"Alright, let's try that…."
He was tripped up by Quicksilver once again.
"What's the matter Arcane, too slow to touch this?" Quicksilver asked mockingly as he circled him like a cyclone and tripped him up again and again.
'The bloody hell….okay fine, try this…'
He sent a net at Quicksilver but he was moving so fast that it passed through him. His molecules were vibrating so quickly that Harry could not even touch him.
They were vibrating so fast that Harry had a feeling that it wasn't healthy for Quicksilver at all. He tried to snatch the young mutant but said mutant slipped out of Harry's grasp like it was nothing.
"C'mon!" Quicksilver cheered mockingly.
Jean felt herself rattled when flying debris smacked her in the back of the head. She blocked most of it with a shield but she was preoccupied with getting civilians out of harm's way.
'Jean, these chumps should not be this powerful!" Rogue yelled, as she saw Toad's suddenly explosive slime blow up even more of the street.
Jean used her telekinetic force shield to protect any nearby civilians.
'We beat these chumps all of the time! Did Fury do this to them?!' Kitty thought, she wanted to strangle something. 'I'm going to wring his neck!'
'Kitty, focus!' Harry yelled as he moved around the Blob but it appeared that the Blob was bigger than ever before.
Harry tried to lift the Blob but he could not even move him. Not physically, not even with magic.
"Ha!" Blob yelled as he smashed his hands down onto Harry's shoulders, who rolled with the impact but it felt like his collarbone broke from the sheer force.
'You've got to be fucking kidding me!' Harry yelled as he pulled himself up. 'I can move mountains and the fucking Blob takes me out!'
"I've been waiting a long time for this!" Avalanche yelled as he raised his hands to the air but a hex bolt blasted him in the face.
Wanda showed up to join the party.
"Hey sis!" Quicksilver yelled as he rushed in from behind Wanda and tripped her up with ease.
She tried to blast him but he was now much too quick for her powers.
'Okay, I'll bite, what did they do to my idiot brother and his idiot friends to make them this powerful, because they shouldn't be this powerful!' Wanda yelled out, the frustration was obvious from her tone.
'They shouldn't be, yet they are,' Harry thought to them as he felt weakened by their very presence.
He recognized the energy signature coming from the Blob. It was Kryptonite, although there were a few more chemicals mixed in, thus causing his cure to act up in a weird way.
'We're not going to beat these guys in straight up fight, not now,' Harry thought to the girls.
'Seriously? It's just….we can't run from the Brotherhood!' Rogue yelled, as she was taking this very personally.
'Not running, just withdrawing to regroup and assess our options,' Harry thought as he warped the girls out of harm's way.
"We did it! we beat them!" Quicksilver yelled but Avalanche shook his head in disagreement.
"We should have buried them alive!" Avalanche shouted at Quicksilver, he felt his rage escalate the more he used his powers. The more he used them, the angrier he got and the more it hurt, yet he could not stop using them.
"Don't yell at me!" Blob growled as he gritted his teeth. He felt even hungrier than ever before and he rolled over a cart of hot dogs and stuffed them down his gullet, but he could not sate his overwhelming hungry. No matter how much he tried.
Quicksilver winced and closed his eyes, the pace of everything was so slow that it was giving him a headache.
"Good Lois...got out okay...yeah...they're gone. I figured that they wouldn't be at the Bugle...good thing you got photos. I'm sure that will make Jameson happy, although I can override him if he gets too out of control," Harry informed her over over the phone.
Jean, Kitty, Rogue, and Wanda stood near him, all in various states of agitation. Which is what Gwen showed up to and she looked them over, taking in their battered states.
"What the hell happened to you guys?" Gwen asked quite bluntly.
"We got our asses kicked by the fucking Brotherhood of Evil Morons," Kitty muttered in a frustrated voice. Still unable to believe that such a thing occurred.
Gwen, despite the fact that she could tell that the situation was serious, couldn't help her next question "How? No offense….but..."
"Yes, we've beaten them a million times, maybe two million even," Jean offered as she rubbed her temples. It was hard to even get her head together. There was something really screwy going on here.
"They even took Harry down," Kitty offered quietly and Gwen suddenly became even more interested as she walked towards him.
"Are you alright?" Gwen asked Harry.
"Fine," Harry said as he blocked out the pain of the bruised collarbone that he had or maybe it was broken. Harry was so used to pain that it did not even register in his mind that he was hurt.
"You don't sound fine," Gwen offered him and Harry looked at her sharply. Gwen threw her hands into the air for the universal sign of surrender at that. Though, the narrowed eyed look she gave him made him feel like a massive jerk for snapping at her like that, no matter how the circumstances warranted it.
"I'm going to have my mother take a look at this," Harry said after a moment under that gaze. Causing Gwen to give him an inquiring look. He decided to clarify. "Lara, because she's a doctor…."
"If you need a doctor to look at that, you might not be so fine….actually aren't you supposed to be faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?" Gwen asked him.
Harry couldn't help but smile at that despite the pain he was in.
"So, I've been told," Harry informed her but he found it hard to even take a breath. Sheer stubborn will was something that was practically encoded in Harry's DNA and that was all that kept him standing at the moment.
Kara was in the chamber, visiting with her mother and aunt, along with the rest of the Council. She saw the state Harry was in and rushed over immediately, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug, which caused Harry to wince and let out a sharp breath.
"You're hurt!" Kara said as she pulled away, her eyes flashing in horror. "Who in the name of RAO hurt you?"
"The Brotherhood," Harry offered.
"They're dead," Kara stated fiercely, her eyes glowing red with her angry.
"Kara, it's not that simple. Someone upgraded their powers," Harry commented, he was not sure who would give a group of glorified thugs extra powers but he was not going to question it all that much. "And now I've got to figure out what to do next."
"I'll check the injury Harry," Lara offered him, then proceeded to begin the scan.
Seconds later, Lara give Harry the diagnosis and it wasn't good.
"Busted collarbone, several fractured vertebrae, a concussion, if it wasn't for your Kryptonian gifts, you would be screwed. Hell, I'm not even sure how your moving at the moment," Lara stated bluntly.
Lily frowned upon hearing that. "His injuries will heal, right?"
"They will, although given they're nature, healing will be very slow going," Lara stated, which caused Harry to wince as he heard that further diagnosis.
Harry sighed as he tried to get himself focused back on the matter at hand. Even though it hurt to move, his shoulder in particular. He was surprised that he did not separate it as well.
"I've got some scans off all of them, if that will help? We might be able to find a way to beat these guys," Harry said as he looked at Gwen, who was gently holding his hand.
Kitty popped her head in, agitation present in her eyes.
"It's worse than we thought," Kitty breathed as she handed Harry the print out off of the Internet.
"The Brotherhood knocked off a bank?" Gwen asked her. "How very comic book villain of them."
Kitty shook her head. "No, you see, it's kind of like this…OW!"
Kara flicked Kitty in the back of her head and whistled innocently.
"Anyway, it's like this," Kitty said as if that didn't just happen. "Lance should not be able to move the Earth that well. Pietro should not be able to go that quick. Todd's slime should not be explosive, and most importantly Fred should not be able to fucking hurt Harry!"
"Which means…."
"Give me the scans. We'll figure out exactly what that means," Lara offered and there was a pause. "Gwen? could you…."
"Of course," Gwen said in a bright voice with a smile. She'd almost be insulted if she didn't get asked to help. The blonde helped Lara sort through everything. It was a slow process but they needed to figure out answers yesterday.
Harry wondered how this happened. The Brotherhood should not have been this good, not this powerful, especially given everything that had occurred in the past.
"There's the Kryptonite factor to consider as well," Harry told them.
"We were cured of that though," Kara persisted stubbornly but then she paused. "Although certain chemicals could potential…"
There was a buzzing sound that echoed through the room.
"Harry, Nick Fury wants to speak to you. He says it's urgent," Lana told Harry over the intercom.
Harry figured that he would get this over with. There was a slight smile that crossed his face as he gave Lana the word.
"Put him on," Harry told Lana.
"We have a situation!"
Harry offered a pained grimace and then spoke calmly "Is this about four super powered delinquents that were supposed to be under your watch?"
"Yes, SHIELD can't take them down, they escaped during Zod's invasion," Fury offered as he looked at them. "Surely you're able to beat them…."
"I'm working on it Fury, don't get your knickers in a twist," Harry told him in a pained voice. He was still feeling his injuries.
"Well work faster."
"Yes, mother," Harry deadpanned as Gwen, Kitty, and Kara all looked quite amused despite the seriousness of the situation.
He was working out a way to defeat them although if his initial observations were true, the Brotherhood didn't have that much time left. And that meant that there was only one way to deal with the enhanced mutant powers that were slowly killing the person who had them.
"Well, this is worse than I thought," Harry told them after looking through the results Lara and Gwen had prepared for him. Which caused Kara to nearly give herself whiplash as she turned to face him.
"What...how?"
Jean, Wanda, and Rogue made their way inside, they needed to hear this.
"Well, if the Brotherhood doesn't get stopped soon, their powers will go critical and New York and most of New Jersey will be obliterated," Harry told them grimly.
If that statement did not underscore how serious the situation was, nothing would.
"Damn it, what's wrong with us?"
Lance felt a pain go through his wrist but he needed to use his powers. He craved using his powers. He turned to the mirror that was on the side of the wall where they were holed up.
"Hey, relax," Todd stated as he felt the inside of his mouth burn and he looked at the mirror and grimaced. All the skin of the inside of his mouth was burned to a crisp, oh boy that was not good. He lifted his hands to the top of his head as felt the slime burn through the bottom of his lip.
"I can't relax!" Lance yelled as the ground cracked beneath them and Todd jumped away. The Toad was feeling the burn, in more ways than one.
"That guy, he gave us powers!" Fred stated as he inhaled an entire cart full of ice cream until it was completely gone, but he didn't feel any satisfaction from it. In fact, it was like he was never even hungry.
"Hey, chill guys, sure your powers are acting weird…."
Lance got in Pietro's face and pinned him up against the wall but he vibrated through his grip.
"Our powers aren't fucking acting weird, our fucking powers are killing us!" Lance yelled as he felt a stabbing sensation through his temples.
"Hey man? Are you…."
"No, I'm not okay. Not okay at all," Lance managed as he collapsed to the ground. "That guy….we got to find him."
"Well, do you know where he was?" Todd asked to him.
The thing was that they got knocked out after being bombarded by that green shit and now they were here.
Lance stepped outside, did he have to bury the entire city underneath rubble to be satisfied? Every time he used his powers, it ached so badly in his body and every time he couldn't use his powers, it also hurt. His ribs throbbed with the pain as he nearly dropped down to the ground.
Blood dripped from his mouth and he screamed as he threw his hands into the air. Avalanche was not having a good time.
"This is SHIELD! Hands up in the air now!"
Lance stepped forward and he felt like his head was on fire.
"You….STAY AWAY!" Avalanche yelled as he caused the ground to rock and sent debris flying everywhere which SHIELD had to duck.
"Get in close!" one of the agents shouted out, but the ground shook too much, causing them to be rocked and rolled. The entire group was unable to stay on their feet, their equilibrium was rocked as Lance stood up to his feet.
Quicksilver stepped forward and ran over the shaking ground.
He paused, as he felt pain stabbing through his stomach.
"What…." he stated as he nearly dropped to the ground. He did not believe, he could not believe, how could he feel this bad? It was nearly unbearable, he felt like he was going to cough up his lungs. He had to keep moving, there was no way he could ever stop. His eyes flashed with agony as he lifted his head up and then collapsed.
His arms and legs rocked back and forth as he coughed a bit as he tried to pick himself off of the ground. He braced his hands on the ground and lifted himself up one more time but his legs were twitching out of control now.
The Brotherhood was feeling the burn of powers that were slowly killing him.
Kara hovered over the scene in the sky above, she'd been order to intervene only if civilians got caught in the crossfire. She switched to the bond link.
'Harry, I don't think we have that much time left,' she told him and Harry decided to offer her one statement.
'I believe you're right,' Harry offered to the blonde as he wondered about if he was going to run out of time.
He had to put those negative thoughts out of his head, the cure was nearly done, though it would revert the Brotherhood to a state which they loathed. Although given that the alternative was being killed or worse, along with taking a bunch of people down with them, Harry didn't feel the need to take their feelings into consideration.
'Three minutes, remember don't engage, stall, but don't engage,' Harry thought.
'Okay, I've got a visual on them,' Kara thought as Wanda and Laura arrived to back her up and she might need it because Avalanche spotted them and thus started to bring the house down.
Laura dove to the ground then did a forward handspring out of the way of his attack.
"Just wait until I get my hands on that little…."
She dodged the follow-up attack and managed to pull SHIELD agents out of the way as well. Despite the fact that she had a healing factor, it did not mean that others did.
This was going to be a long day if Harry did not work his magic soon, that was something that all of the girls could agree on. As debris kept being flung at them and the more Lance used his powers, the angrier he got.
'Got to knock him out,' Wanda thought but her concentration was shaken by a sudden ringing in the back of his head.
Harry Potter was never a person who backed off even when he was under a copious amount of pressure and there was no question about it, he was under a lot of pressure presently. Hell he could barely move. If there were lives at stake and there were, it was worth being under all of this pressure. His tongue clicked against the roof of his mouth as he walked towards the scene of chaos. It was one of those situations where it was truly and utterly now or never. It was a do or die type situation.
"Do you think you got something that might work?"
Gwen asked that question honestly and even though Kitty did not ask that question, Harry could see the question burned on the tip of her tongue. Harry wished that he could honestly answer the girls but he did offer them one statement that he hoped would satisfy their curiosities. "We'll know in about five minutes."
He shushed the thought in the back of his head that he might not have five minutes to live, with what could potentially happen. Harry was not about to lose. No matter how hopeless it might seem and it could seem extremely hopeless. The young wizard pressed on, his nose to the wall. There were few things that rattled him any more, that was just the type of person that he was, that was what he did.
The wizard pushed himself towards another thought. If he failed, then there was going to be a slight problem that he was going to have to deal with. The emerald eyed enchanter shook his head, failure was simply not an option, there was no question about that.
'Guess I'm going to have to do or die,' Harry thought to himself, as he locked onto Kara. 'Kara, how's the situation?'
Kara offered her assessment in a frank and irritated voice. 'It's getting worse Harry, I'm not sure how much longer we can hold the line.'
Harry frowned and he let out the breath that he was holding in. 'Just a little longer, I swear.'
Harry had the technology to remove mutant powers but having the technology and using the technology successfully, those were two different matters entirely. He had hoped with all his heart that he would never have to use such a thing, although if it saved lives, then he had no choice.
When certain people found out that he had this technology, they would be furious or they would get the boneheaded notion in their head that they could steal it for their own means to save the world from the mutant menace. Harry found himself devoid of many options in this situation, so he was going to do what he had to do. His heart sped up, nearly skipping several beats as he stood on the edge of the battle.
'Ready, set, go,' Harry commented to himself as he took a step forward with Gwen and Kitty ready, Rogue, Jean, and Wanda following close behind.
"They're dying aren't they?" Jean whispered and Harry offered her a plaintive look and then nodded. That was very true, the Brotherhood was in fact dying. Like them or not, they did not deserve to be killed in such a brutal manner.
They were thugs, super powered thugs, and nothing more.
Especially when innocent people were going to be caught in the crossfire.
Harry arrived and saw a huge part of the New York street in ruins. He was very annoyed but he figured that it would mean more work for the RAO Corporation. It was a small favor that they hadn't completely rebuilt this street yet since Avalanche more or destroyed everything around him.
"Arcane, Arcane, Arcane, you shouldn't have come back here!"
Quicksilver said that as he darted all around them like a super powered hummingbird and Harry was only barely able to hear him with his super powered senses.
"ARCANE! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Avalanche hurled debris at Harry who blocked what was being thrown at him with a shield spell. It smashed against the field again and again.
"You ruined my life, you and your…."
Harry fired the cure into the shoulder of Avalanche but he kept rumbling and rocking the ground beneath them.
"Damn it, why isn't it working?" Gwen cursed and Harry eyed the blonde as he offered one statement that underlined all of his frustrations at once.
"Your guess is as good as…."
Toad rushed over, and the girls scattered to avoid the slime he horked up at them, which blew up a section of the street where it made contact.
Wanda hexed Toad in the face and that caused him to choke on his own slime. It would not kill him but his sufferings should not be minimized.
Harry swooped in and stabbed Toad with the antidote.
'Harry, Avalanche, he's actually regressing, I think it's working, it's so totally…OW!,' Kitty moaned as she got smacked with something across the back of the head.
Kitty did see that Avalanche was down for the count, more or less broken into pieces from what happened. He was busted up, battered, and abused.
Toad went down as well and Harry saw Blob raid the refrigerator on one of the SHIELD transport vehicles. This was going to be easy.
"Hey, Blob, head's up!" Harry said as he threw Blob a cupcake that had the antidote inside of it.
"Hey!….Oh I guess you're not so bad after all," Blob said as he caught the cupcake in his hand and ate it in one disgusting bite, drool dripping down his mouth as crumbs were sticking to his chin.
The antidote coursed through his body and he landed on the ground, more full than he ever was.
Harry locked onto the hyper fast blur that was Quicksilver, which Wanda was trying to lock onto as well.
'And then there was one,' Harry thought as he watched Quicksilver move around like a super fast blur. He was trying to get a lock on the young man but he was unable to grab onto him. The young magical alien saw him and saw that time and space were about ready to warp around the young mutant and take them all down.
"SLOW DOWN!" Harry yelled as he wondered if it was going to be Pietro's powers that were going to open up some rift in time and space that were going to destroy them all
"Sorry, can't, hurts…."
If he wouldn't stop willingly, then Harry was going to make him stop. He run off into the other direction and flew up into the air.
"Yeah! That's right! You better run! Oh I'm too fast for you, too fast, too fast, too fast, too fast, too…."
BOOM!"
Harry flew into the back Pietro's head with a super powerful punch that cracked him hard. This slowed him down enough for Wanda to trip his own feet up so his powers wouldn't work properly.
Now it was the moment of truth. Harry held the antidote cure over his head and with one jab, he nailed him.
Pietro yelled as he felt his powers leave him. He was normal, completely and utterly normal but he was alive. He did not know what he found more awful, being normal, or being dead.
He was mortal, completely and utterly mortal but he was alive.
He did not know what he found more awful, being mortal, or being dead.
"The Brotherhood is back in SHIELD custody, although without their powers. I can't imagine them getting very far," Harry offered to Karen as he turned up to visit her.
"I heard a few reports about that on the news," Karen offered and she leaned towards Harry before asking the question that she was bursting to ask. "Any idea who ramped up their powers?"
Harry thought that was a question that would be answered in due time. "No, I wish I did, but the thing is, I kind of don't."
Harry let out the long whistle that he was holding in and Karen grabbed him by the hands.
"Well, I'm sure that you'll figure it out before too long," Karen offered to him, she could see the frustration burning through Harry's eyes and she wanted to do something to alleviate that. She thought that an inquiry into something else would be for the best. She offered Harry a chance to sit down on her chair as she stepped behind him. With another swift motion, Karen placed her hands on the back of his shoulders. "So how's Atlee?"
Karen rubbed the back of his shoulders, making circular motions with her hands. The blonde did her work really well and Harry closed his eyes, feeling the pleasure of her hands along with her breasts on the back of his neck. She continued to massage it as Harry relaxed underneath her grip.
"She's doing well, there are a couple of new students. Lorna's decided to stop by a bit more often for her lessons," Harry whispered to Karen which caused her to smile.
"Has her father given you any grief?" Karen asked.
"No, not particularly, Magneto's been quiet over the past few weeks," Harry said as he figured that he'd hear from the Master of Magnetism soon enough after what he did to his son.
"So are you banging both of his daughters yet?" Karen asked.
"Karen," Harry told her in a reproachful voice.
"It's a legitimate question," Karen offered to him defensively but she was grinning and Harry smiled. "No need to get….well actually just no need to upset."
"I'm not getting upset," Harry offered her, although there was a chance where he could be given the circumstances. He felt her warm clothed breasts press against his back. "I've got a meeting with Ororo tomorrow as well, to check in with her, haven't really talked to her since the Zod invasion."
"I'm sure that's going to be productive as usual," Karen told him in a voice that dripped with hints of what everyone knew was going on during those talks.
Harry smiled, productive sure was one way to describe how those meetings were going to go with Ororo.
"So I've got to go and check in with SHIELD, to make sure that everything is in order with our prisoners," Harry said Karen.
"Ah, we were just getting started," Karen said as she placed her arms underneath her breasts and achieved the desired effect of making them even larger than they were.
"We'll pick this up later," Harry informed Karen and he leaned towards her, offering a long kiss. The blonde returned the kiss and the two of them broke apart.
The next thing Karen knew, Harry was gone. He was about bad as Helena sometimes, actually he was a tiny bit worse.
Harry appeared outside of the secure SHIELD facility, bypassing all security check points because he was Harry Fucking Potter and that's kind of what he did.
He saw Natasha standing there, talking to a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties. She had long black hair that framed her face and an alluring set of green eyes. She wore a red top that stretched around her D Cup breasts that threatened to burst out of her top. The top rose up half of an inch to show the toned and tanned midsection that she had to offer. The tight black pants that went around her body was a visual treat as well as they showcased her ass.
"Harry, what do I owe the pleasure?" Natasha offered and she looked to the young female next to her. "Harry, this is Jessica Drew, Jessica Drew, this is Harry Potter."
"Pleased to meet you Harry, I've heard so much about you," Jessica told him with a hungry expression as if Harry was on the menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
'Just as I heard and better,' she thought to herself as she felt herself getting hot but she composed herself with dignity. A woman of her stature was nothing but dignified after all.
"A pleasure to meet you, Jessica," Harry commented to the dark haired woman and the look that she was giving him was not missed by Harry.
"Yes, it is," Jessica told him as she licked her lips at him but she turned around under the pretext of checking some notes.
'Another one for the cult of Potter,' Kitty said as she rubbed her hands and gave an evil laugh.
'You do realize how much that makes you sound like a really bad comic book villain, don't you?' Rachel asked in a dry voice.
Harry turned away from the budding banter and focused his attention on Natasha.
"So Brotherhood are secured?"
Natasha nodded. "It was not an easy task but we managed to do so."
"That's good," Harry offered to her. "I removed their powers, but I doubt that I need to tell Nick Fury that he should keep them secured with the normal protocols."
"No, you don't," Natasha agreed with them, Fury was so gloriously paranoid that he would use the emergency protocols even when not prompted.
"Good that he's prepared," Harry told her as he moved back. "Got to check up at something at RAO, we'll get together at the usual time."
"You better believe that we will," Natasha offered, hoping that a mission didn't come up, because she looked forward to these meetings, especially how intimate they got.
Harry wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into a lengthy kiss which she hungrily returned. This allowed Harry to move off into the other direction.
Jessica watched him leave and then discreetly got back to work.
Harry was back at RAO where he nearly ran into Lana or rather Lana almost ran into him, it was pretty hard to tell.
"Hey, Harry, sorry it's been a busy morning, plus the new intern from Gotham City University is coming in today," Lana told Harry and he smiled.
"I'm sure when she arrives, she'll fit right in here," Harry told her.
"Yes, she was recommended by some very credible people," Lana commented and the wizard watched her with a smile. "Also, the energy project will be launched. Mr. Stark and Mr. Richards have agreed to help beta-test it, in exchange for signing the contract."
The contract was a standard one, a confidentiality clause and also not to copy the technology in any way without his express permission. He figured that those two men would be able to test the technology to its fullest and offer their own unique input on it.
"Right, Lana, you're amazing, thank you," Harry offered to her and he grabbed her around the waist.
"You're in a good mood today," Lana commented as her red hair flowed around her face.
"Yes, I am," Harry agreed with her and he offered a slight smile towards her. "And about that lunch….how does Friday sound to you?"
"Friday sounds great, especially if you're buying," Lana told him in a teasing voice and Harry smiled towards her.
"It's more than great than," Harry told her as he gave her a kiss and knew that he had to make his way back to the school, one of the new teachers were about to make her way there.
Physical education and defensive training was an important thing on the field and it was something that Harry was going to emphasize above many other things. He showed up with a pop as Alison, Atlee, and Lorna were sitting around the break room, drinking sodas and hanging out.
"How are you three doing?" Harry asked.
"Fine," Alison commented. She had two shows coming up in a couple of weeks, but right now she was taking every opportunity that she could to unwind.
"Really good, I hope that we can get together for that lesson that you promised," Lorna told him.
"Tomorrow, I have some free time," Harry informed her and Lorna smiled.
"Looking forward to it," Lorna told him.
Harry decided to make his way to the office where he understood that his physical education teacher was waiting for him. Laura was taking care of the physical training currently, the only problem was that she tended to use the girls more as practice dummies when she was worked out, which was often. Thankfully he was able to heal their injuries and there was nothing permanent.
As always, Harry was greeted by the sight of a beautiful woman, as if he would hire any one else for a position in his school, a smile crossed his face.
The woman was in her very early twenties, maybe around twenty or twenty one or so. She had golden blonde hair, with dazzling blue eyes. Her face was that of an angel as well. She wore a white top that wrapped around her body and a black jacket. Her D-Cup breasts were about to burst through her top and her tight jeans wrapped around nice legs. She wore a pair of black boots which she was jiggling to the music.
"Mr. Potter, it's an honor to meet you," the woman offered as she got up and shook his hand.
Harry resisted the temptation to use his X-Ray vision to peak beneath the surface, although it was there, it would always be there for a beauty like her.
"My name is Dinah Lance, I'm here to apply for the physical education position," the woman told him.
"Well Miss Lance, I've taken a look at your qualifications and skills and I must say I'm very impressed."
Harry proceeded to go through the job interview although he figured that she was already hired the moment that she walked through the door. Her qualifications were that good, the fact that she was an attractive single woman was merely a bonus.
