Traveler: Chapter 24
🕑 Added 2024-08-02 16:30:00 +0000 UTCHis touch was gentle as he caressed her face, a deep frown on his face as he stared at her unconscious visage.
Sylvia had been unresponsive and would remain so until they could find a compatible person to transfer the influence of the Mind Stone from her.
There had been multiple thoughts running through his mind, but the primary one was regret. He had truly believed that Sylvia was a tyrant who wanted to destroy their world, not even considering that she might be a victim herself. For Felicia to believe in her more than him… it stung.
He gazed at her serene face and with a soft smile, he leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.
“I’ll make sure you wake up again. I promise,” he whispered against her skin. With a final kiss, he pulled away from her and stood up, walking out the door to her room and gently pulling it close. His eyes fell on the next door and he sighed. It housed another unconscious person who was fighting a battle of his own in his mind.
Bruce was the only one who could reach an understanding with the Hulk and only then could his situation be resolved permanently, otherwise the episodes would keep coming – something no one wanted. He had created as calming an environment around him as possible, influencing the situation while taking care not to have too much of an impact that would agitate the Hulk in any manner.
Sighing, he turned around to return to the living room when he spotted Felicia, Maria, and Natasha walking toward him instead, with looks of similar concern etched on their faces. He smiled at them, and their frowns softened somewhat.
Suddenly, the door to one of the rooms opened wide and they were surprised to see an elated Betty dart out of it, shutting the door behind her. Her eyes fell on Harry and a bright grin crossed her face. Before anyone could react, the brunette let out an excited squeal and launched herself at Harry, wrapping her arms around him as she hugged him tightly.
Harry’s eyes widened, and so did everyone else’s apart from Felicia who was surprised for only a second before a sly grin grew on her face.
“I’ve found it!” Betty declared happily as she pulled back from Harry and gazed up at him with a bright grin before she suddenly realized what she’d done. Her eyes widened and she quickly stepped back, a furious blush on her face that was in no way a result of the reminder of what she had been up to until a few minutes ago.
“No, no, no need to be shy about it. You’ve certainly found something,” Felicia teased as she approached them and rested her elbow on a flustered Betty’s shoulder. Maria and Natasha followed close behind, their faces set in amusement.
“What’s got you so excited?” Natasha asked.
“I’ve located the Tesseract,” she replied, and their eyes widened.
“Really?” Maria asked quickly, earning a nod from the woman who gestured for them to follow her inside the lab. It was fortunate that she had cleaned everything up beforehand, otherwise there was no chance she would’ve let them in.
She did not notice the look Harry gave her as he waved his hand, vanishing the remains of her passionate self-pleasure session discreetly that she had somehow missed in her rush to compose herself. He could recognize it anywhere, and one look at how rumpled her revealing clothing was and how it clung to her form proved just what she had been up to.
It seemed he was not the only one who recognized the signs as he was subjected to meaningful looks from all three of his girls, and all he could do was quirk his lips in amusement as he stood behind the chair Betty must have been sitting on while she’d rubbed herself. The evidence had been present there, after all.
Pushing those thoughts out of his mind and resolving to address them later, Harry gazed straight ahead. A large screen was suspended in front of them, the holographic display flickering slightly as it displayed several complex data patterns and geographical maps including the terrain and all the details one could imagine.
Betty walked over and assumed her place in front of the screen, standing sideways so that she could address them properly.
“Here it is,” she said, zooming in on the map of Eastern Europe. “The Tesseract is in Sokovia.”
Harry leaned forward, his palms gripping the back of the chair as his intense emerald orbs gazed at the map. “Sokovia? That’s unexpected. How sure are you?”
Betty tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear as she gazed at Harry with full confidence in her finding.
“95% certain,” she replied. “Perhaps even more. The energy signature is faint, but it’s distinct. Very similar to the Tesseract. It’s being shielded somehow, which is why it took so long to pinpoint its location.”
Natasha frowned, her analytical mind already working on the implications of this discovery.
“Sokovia’s been a hotbed of unrest for years now. Any idea who might be behind this?”
“That’s where this gets complicated,” Betty replied, zooming in further as she pulled up the satellite imagery. “The signal’s coming from this fortified facility high up in the mountains. It’s officially abandoned, but…”
The woman trailed off, pulling up and enlarging an image of fluctuating energy readings that showed massive volatility when zoomed in to see the hourly data.
Felicia leaned in, studying the information displayed. “But clearly, someone’s home. Those spikes in power outputs are off the charts.”
Maria nodded grimly. “HYDRA. We’ve had suspicions about increased activity all over Eastern Europe. Only a few concrete outposts until now, nothing more…”
Felicia nodded, easily remembering her own missions in the region.
“If HYDRA has the Tesseract, then we need to move in soon,” Natasha said with a frown. Turning back to Betty, the redhead asked, “Can you figure out what kind of defences we’re looking at?”
Betty turned back to the screen and began running her fingers around, pulling and discarding multiple dialog boxes and schematics.
“From what I can tell, it’s a mix of advanced tech and old school fortifications,” she muttered. “Energy shields, anti-aircraft cannons, and miles of underground tunnels. It’d take quite a force to breach this fortress.”
“Luckily, we have quite a force right here,” Felicia smirked, wrapping an arm around Harry and pinching his waist. She giggled when he returned her favor in kind, smiling at his playful girlfriend in amusement. Her demeanor was truly infectious.
“Please tell me all you have discovered about this location, Betty,” Harry asked the woman who gave him a small smile and nodded. She turned back to the screen and got to work when suddenly, Maria’s phone buzzed with urgency. The brunette frowned as she gazed at the screen and answered the call, her face growing increasingly grave as she listened.
The others watched her with mounting concern, straightening slightly at the look on her face. It was as if the discussion about Sokovia and the Tesseract was momentarily forgotten in the face of whatever it was that had troubled Maria.
“Understood. We’ll be there very soon,” the brunette said tersely before she hung up. Her eyes swept across the room before they landed on her boyfriend. “We have a situation. The satellites have picked up a massive alien ship approaching our planet at a rapid pace. SHIELD estimates they’ll reach the orbit within the next five minutes, perhaps even less.”
“An alien ship out of nowhere?” Felicia asked in shock as Betty quickly pulled up the feed, transmitting SHIELD’s private signal through her systems. Everyone gathered and stared at the small dot that kept getting bigger as the mechanism ran its analysis of the foreign unidentifiable object.
“How massive do you think that could be?” Felicia asked, breaking the silence that had enveloped the lab room.
“Bigger than anything we’ve ever encountered, that’s for sure,” Maria replied grimly, staring at the analytical report that appeared in real-time on the holographic screen in front of them. “Initial readings suggest it’s about the size of Manhattan. And there’s the red alert. SHIELD has declared a global emergency. Director Fury has summoned us all to the Helicarrier immediately.”
Harry gazed at Maria and nodded. He waved his hand, and immediately, all four of them were clad in combat attire that had complex runic engravings all over its surface. The gear was made to enhance their abilities by complimenting their new powers and although it was not made to last decades, it would serve them brilliantly for a few years at the very least before the runes will wither away, but only if constant strain was put on them. It was in no way a pretentious combat attire but it was certainly made to both intimidate and bring out their unique personalities, not to mention enhancing their respective charms as well, in every sense.
Betty stared at their attire for a long while, admiring how uniquely suited each was to all of them, clinging to their bodies and accentuating their curves and strength while also serving the practical purpose of shielding all the vitals from every angle possible.
“Betty,” Harry turned to the brunette who jerked at being addressed and quickly gazed at him with wide eyes. “It seems this matter will have to take priority right now. But I need you to keep working on the Sokovia lead. Try to get as much information as you can on the facility’s defenses. We might have an emergency here, but we can’t lose sight of the Tesseract. It’s important as well.”
Betty’s eyes narrowed in determination as she nodded. “I’m on it. I’ll coordinate with SHIELD’s science division and keep you updated. Be careful out there.”
Harry nodded, and to the brunette’s surprise, he reached out and squeezed her hand softly.
“You should be proud of what you’ve done,” he said earnestly as his girls all scooted closer and pressed themselves against him, smiling at the brunette who could only manage a small nod. She watched as Harry pulled his hand off her, letting it fall by her side, before a shower of golden sparks erupted around them, whisking them away. She blinked and let out a small sigh as she was left alone in the lab once more.

They appeared right in the middle of the Helicarrier, in the practice room where Harry used to do his combat practice with Natasha and other SHIELD agents. The redhead quickly took charge and led the way, with the rest walking alongside her.
As they rushed out of the room, Natasha glanced at Harry. “And thoughts on what we might be dealing with?”
“Nothing good,” Harry replied, his expression grim. “But let’s not jump to conclusions until we have more information.”
The quartet strode forward, walking past the numerous agents and scientists that dashed through the corridors with purpose. They reached a briefing room and stared at the live feed of the approaching alien ship.
“My God…” Felicia whispered as everyone stared at the behemoth.
The ship was already close to the Earth’s orbit, looming over the planet. Its design was unlike anything they had ever seen. Its surface is a dark, metallic grey with pulsing blue lines crisscrossing its hull. The shape is almost organic, like a massive, technological insect.
They resumed walking and reached the control room in no time where they were met by a grim-faced Nick Fury and, to their surprise, someone who did not look too pleased to see Harry.
“Glad you could join the party so soon,” Fury remarked, his one eye scanning each of them and their new gear. “We’ve got a situation unlike anything we’ve ever faced.”
Thor and Harry kept eyeing each other, the latter mostly dismissive while the former’s gaze was filled with carefully suppressed rage. Natasha reached out and held Harry’s hand, giving it a comforting squeeze, and he shifted his gaze to Fury who stared at him with a neutral expression on his face.
“What do we know?” Harry asked, his eyes fixated on the main display. The alien ship was firmly in orbit, albeit beyond the reach of any weaponry that had been developed on Earth, and its sheer size became even more apparent as they saw it dwarfing the satellites in its vicinity.
“Not much,” Fury replied. “It appeared quickly and out of nowhere. Our signals picked up its approach when it crossed Saturn. Our best guess is some form of intergalactic travel or… a wormhole.”
“The Tesseract. Could it be involved somehow?”
“Unlikely, but we can’t discount the possibility. Has Doctor Banner found it?”
“Sokovia, in the mountains,” Harry replied. “We were going to recover it but this seems more pressing, especially if they decide to act hostile.”
Fury clenched his jaw and nodded curtly as he turned back to stare at the screen. Harry could feel Thor’s gaze on him and he sighed before turning toward the Asgardian.
“Can we talk?”
The God of Thunder looked surprised for a moment before he breathed in sharply and gave a curt nod. Harry glanced reassuringly at his girls before walking to one of the conference rooms near the control room, standing by for Thor who gazed at him with sharp eyes before walking in. Harry brought up the rear and shut the door behind him.
“Look, I know why you’re still here and I understand, but I can’t let you take Sylvia with you,” Harry said firmly. Thor took a step toward him before he paused, taking a deep breath to compose himself.
“What you have done is an act of war against Asgard, Harry Potter,” he growled. “Holding the princess of Asgard hostage…”
“She is no hostage,” Harry cut him off. “She is my guest. I’m pretty sure she’ll choose to stay here with me than returning with you to a place where she’s been treated like that for all her life.”
For a moment, a small grimace came over Thor’s face – something Harry did not miss.
“So you do know, hmm? About Odin’s treatment of her? And still you expect her to go with you?”
“She is a princess of Asgard and─”
“Oh quit yapping about that already, for fuck’s sake!” Harry cried out in exasperation. “Look. I’m all for intelligent discussion but if you’re gonna keep at it then we’re done here. There’s a massive alien ship outside that could very well decide to annihilate us all, and I believe that takes priority. If you decide to adopt a more diplomatic approach to things and not behave like a brute, then we can talk later.”
Thor stared at Harry in surprise as he turned around to walk away. However, he suddenly paused and turned around, staring him down.
“Can I see that hammer of yours, by any chance? Or at least whatever remains of it?”
Thor’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Harry.
“I’m not mocking you here. There is something I want to try. Please.”
His eyes were filled with suspicion but he obliged. Harry stared at the large handle and the remains of the hammer on the table. He waved his hand over it, concentrating, and Thor’s eyes widened when the hammer fixed itself, the shattered remains coalescing and molding with the handle to recreate his Mjolnir.
Hands shaking, he willed the hammer to appear in his grasp and he jerked when it obliged. A surge of power shot through him as he was reunited with Mjolnir, his eyes glowing a shade of ethereal white as his hair swayed, thunder roaring overhead.
Harry nodded in satisfaction as he gazed at the hammer.
“So it does work, good to know,” he said to himself. “There you go. I destroyed that, but it’s fixed now. I’ve done my part, and now it’s your turn. Fix your attitude and we can talk about Sylvia later.”
Thor stared at Harry with mixed feelings as he walked out of the office and turned to head back to the control room where the others stood waiting for them.
Felicia was the first to spot Harry as he arrived, followed by Natasha. He nodded reassuringly and they saw Thor over his shoulder. Their eyes widened, followed by Nick and Maria when they saw his hammer all intact and held firmly in his grasp. Fury caught Harry’s eye who gave him a firm nod.
“Sir!” An agent suddenly called out, his voice tense, and Fury turned to her, attentive. “We’re detecting energy buildup within the ship. It’s… it’s preparing to deploy something.”
“Keep monitoring whatever it is, and get ready to chart a course to the point of impact if necessary,” Fury commanded firmly, earning a nod from the agent.
“Anyone else joining us, Director?” Natasha asked.
“Barton is bringing Rogers,” Fury replied curtly. “Stark is en route.”
“And Banner won’t be taking part in battle, as we all well know by now,” Harry interjected. Fury glanced at him with pursed lips but did not protest, much to Felicia’s amusement who cracked a grin as she gazed at her boyfriend, earning herself a wink from him.
“And what about him?” Natasha continued, glancing at Thor who stepped forward.
“I took a vow to protect Midgard. I am not backing down from it,” he said resolutely. His eyes met Harry’s, who held his gaze for a few seconds before he nodded firmly. If the blockhead was ready to be an ally, then he was not going to antagonize him. He had no interest in making an enemy unnecessarily.
They watched the live feed intently and saw how the massive alien ship began to open. Huge sections of its hull slid apart, revealing a cavernous interior bathed in an eerie blue light that obscured their vision of what lay therein.
"Energy readings are off the charts!" the same agent called out, her voice strained. "Whatever's coming, it's big."
Suddenly, dozens of smaller ships burst forth from the mothership. They were sleek, predatory-looking vessels, each about the size of a large aircraft, with sharp, angular designs that seemed both organic and mechanical.
"Are those..." Natasha started, her eyes widening.
"Dropships," Fury finished grimly. "They're launching an invasion force."
The command center erupted into a flurry of activity as the smaller ships began their descent toward Earth. Screens flickered with data streams, and agents rushed to relay information and orders.
"Sir, we're tracking their trajectory," Sharon Carter reported from her station, her fingers flying over a console. "They're not spreading out. All ships are on a direct course for... Sokovia."
Harry and Natasha exchanged a glance before the former leaned against Sharon’s desk, staring intently at the screen. The woman leaned back slightly, allowing him enough room.
“The Tesseract… they must be after that,” he muttered.
Sharon’s eyes narrowed and she leaned forward, furiously typing away as she took into consideration the input she had received from the lab set up in Harry’s apartment.
“Very much possible, yes,” she whispered, glancing at him in concern. Harry smiled tightly and nodded before he stood up and turned around, staring at Fury.
“You lot heard the command. Set a course for Sokovia. Keep out of civilian areas. We need to intercept those ships before they make landfall and cause any mayhem. And someone get me a direct like to the Sokovian government. Someone needs to rescue the civilians near the mountains.”
As the Helicarrier banked sharply, changing direction, alarms blared throughout the vessel. The deck tilted, causing those standing to brace themselves.
"All hands, prepare for combat," Fury's voice echoed over the intercom. "This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill."
The main screen showed the alien dropships entering Earth's atmosphere, their hulls glowing red-hot from the friction. The sight was both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
"ETA to impact?" Fury demanded, his voice cutting through the chaos.
"Fifteen minutes, sir," Sharon responded, her voice tight with tension. "They'll hit ground before we can reach them."
Just then, a familiar voice crackled over the comms. "This is Barton. Cap and I are inbound on a Quinjet. What's the situation?"
"About time you joined us," Fury responded, a hint of relief in his voice. "We've got alien dropships heading for Sokovia. We need all hands on deck."
As if on cue, a red and gold figure streaked past the Helicarrier's windows, leaving a trail of repulsor energy in its wake.
"Don't start the party without me," Tony Stark's voice came through, slightly distorted by his suit's systems. "JARVIS is already analyzing the alien tech. It's like nothing we've ever seen before."
The Quinjet carrying Barton and Rogers docked with the Helicarrier, and minutes later, they joined the others on the bridge. Steve's face was set in determination, while Clint's eyes immediately scanned the tactical displays, assessing the situation.
"What's the plan?" Steve asked, stepping up beside Harry, his shield gleaming on his back. They exchanged firm nods with each other and turned back to stare at the large suspended screen at the front.
Before anyone could respond, the main screen showed the first of the alien dropships slamming into Sokovia's countryside. The impact was devastating, sending shockwaves across the landscape. Trees were flattened, and a massive snowy cloud billowed outward.
"My God," Felicia whispers, watching as more ships crashed down, creating a rough perimeter around the suspected HYDRA facility. The impacts were precisely coordinated, suggesting a level of tactical sophistication that was deeply troubling.
As the dust began to settle, the dropships opened, their hulls peeling back like the petals of some monstrous flower. Figures began to pour out – alien warriors, unlike anything they'd ever encountered. Their bodies seemed to be a fusion of organic and cybernetic parts, with sharp, insectoid features and advanced weaponry integrated into their forms.
"What are those things?" Natasha asked, her voice tight and her hand instinctively moving to her sidearms.
"They are the Chitauri," Thor announced, his voice grave. "A scourge upon the stars, feared across the Nine Realms."
All eyes turned to the Asgardian, momentarily distracted from the chaos unfolding on the screens.
"You know these creatures?" Fury asked in a tone that demanded answers.
Thor nodded, stepping forward to study the tactical displays. "Aye. They are a warrior race, cybernetically enhanced and bred for conquest. They serve a master..." he hesitated, a shadow passing over his face. "A being of immense power and cruelty."
"How do you know about them?" Steve asked, his tactical mind already working on how this information might help them.
"Asgard has faced them before, long ago," Thor explains, his voice heavy with the weight of his world’s brutal history. "They seek not just conquest, but annihilation. They are relentless, feeling no pain, no fear. And they will not stop until their mission is complete. And… my sister was going to use them to conquer Midgard."
“Alright, who’s with me?” Harry asked suddenly as he stepped forward, his eyes hard as he glanced at Thor. “Steve?”
“Sure,” Steve replied, though a hint of skepticism was easily detectable in his voice.
“We’ll follow soon,” Felicia replied, and both Maria and Natasha nodded.
Harry disappeared along with Steve instantly, and within seconds, the three women followed suit.
“It’s a warzone down here,” Maria’s voice suddenly came over the comms. “These Chitauri aren’t wasting any time. They’re advancing on the HYDRA facility, but HYDRA’s putting up a fight. It’s chaos.”
Fury turned to Thor. “Any weaknesses we should know about?”
Thor gripped Mjolnir tighter as he turned to Fury. “They are connected to their mothership. In past battles, destroying it has rendered the warriors inert. However, reaching it will not be easy.”
“Obviously,” Fury remarked dryly as he stared at the screen. The ship that had come with those aliens remained at the very edge of the orbit, well beyond the reach of the best ICBM they had at their disposal. Nuking it was out of the question.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield in Sokovia, Harry told both Tony and Steve everything they had on their plate, further adding to their shock.
Steve was quick to kick into action, his leadership skills coming in clutch. “Alright, everyone. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’ve got three objectives: stop the Chitauri advance, secure the Tesseract from HYDRA, and find a way to take out that mothership. Romanoff, Hardy…”
As Steve outlined the plan, assigning roles and strategies while they engaged the aliens on the snowy mountainous expanse of Sokovia, the Helicarrier continued its rapid approach. On the ground, Chitauri soldiers continued their advance to the HYDRA facility, their weapons firing energy blasts that the HYDRA soldiers repelled with relative ease.
“Weapons created using the Tesseract,” Steve told everyone. “These lot never change.”
As Felicia, Natasha, and Maria rushed toward the fortress, Tony flew high in the air and started to scan the forcefield that surrounded it, scanning for any weaknesses.
Harry apparated into the heart of the battlefield, his emerald eyes blazing with determination as he assessed the chaos around him. HYDRA soldiers and the Chitauri fought, their advanced weaponry filling the air with the acrid smell of burnt ozone and the metallic tinge of blood and gore.
He cast a massive shield, the dome springing to life and deflecting a barrage of Chitauri and HYDRA energy blasts alike. Civilians caught in the crossfire scrambled to safety under his shield’s protective embrace, and Harry’s jaw clenched as he saw the fear and desperation in their eyes, reminding him of another war that seemed like a lifetime ago.
With a flick of his hand, he transfigured the rubble around him into a swarm of razor-sharp metal birds. He forced them to surge forward, making them tear through a squadron of Chitauri warriors with brutal efficiency. The alien screams mixed with the screeching of metal, echoing in the massive clearing.
A group of HYDRA soldiers trained their energy rifles on Harry, intent on taking him out. Without missing a beat, he slashed his hand across the air, casting a silent ribbon cutter that ripped through their ranks, incapacitating them instantly.
Steve, who had been watching in in awe, winced, a grimace crossing his face at the carnage on display. He had seen his fair share of violence and killing during the war, but it still churned his insides to see death and destruction.
“Take care,” Harry said to Steve who watched him vanish. As he took up a battle position, Harry apparated in the middle of a civilian clearing and saw numerous people trapped in a collapsing building. He quickly cast an Arresto Momentum, and the crumbling structure slowed to a crawl, allowing the people to escape unharmed. As they rushed away, a young girl caught Harry’s eye. He gave her a reassuring smile and turned around, waving his hands in the air in intricate patterns.
Invisible runes appeared in the air, glowing and visible only to the caster as he poured his magic into it. Once he was done, Harry whispered an incantation and a massive shockwave erupted from right where he stood, forming a massive barrier in front of him. The barrier stretched on for miles, separating the mountain and forests from the civilian areas and preventing any energy blasts or missiles from advancing past its boundary.
Stepping inside the battlefield once again, Harry held his arms out and cried out, “Fiendfyre!”
A massive Thestral of magical flame erupted from where he stood, engulfing a wave of advancing Chitauri. The flaming creature twisted and writhed under his control as Harry kept it firmly in check. Sweat poured on his brows as all the snow evaporated instantly, leaving behind charred and blackened ground as hundreds of Chitauri burnt to death.
A massive bolt of lightning struck the ground, frying another horde of Chitauri as Thor landed on the ground, forming a small crater on the charred surface. The God of Thunder eyed Harry with pursed lips before he rotated Mjolnir violently and sent a stream of lightning crackling through the air, lancing through another horde and killing them on the spot.
“Nice,” Harry complimented, and all Thor did was gaze at the rampaging Thestral as it burnt through the Chitauri hordes.
Suddenly, a deafening screech filled the air. Harry and Thor both looked up together to see a dropship disintegrating high above them, unleashing a massive, serpentine form that emerged from the clouds.
“A Chitauri Leviathan,” Thor said with a growl.
The creature was enormous, its armored hide gleaming dully in the smoky light, rows of razor-sharp teeth lining its gaping maw as thousands of Chitauri soldiers detached from its form and descended on Earth, replacing their fallen numbers within seconds.
Harry cast a powerful blasting curse at a horde, exploding them to smithereens, their purple remains raining down on the snowy ground. Thor sent another blast of lightning, destroying another horde, but the Chitauri kept advancing.
“I guess I understand now why they are feared. It’s the numbers. How many are there?”
“If I had to guess? Millions,” Thor replied.
“Great,” Harry scoffed. As he turned back to the leviathan, Harry’s eyes narrowed. He fired a powerful piercing hex straight at it, and his eyes narrowed when the thick armor repelled it with relative ease. “Brute force it is, then,” he muttered.
Thor shot himself up high in the air and rained down another lightning storm on the Chiaturi soldiers when a loud growl made him swerve around. His eyes widened when the rubble and debris around Harry coalesced, taking on a massive, draconic form. A giant dragon made of stone and Chitauri metal towered over the battlefield, its eyes glowing with magical fire. The construct was easily as large as the Leviathan, casting long shadows over the battlefield and the ruined city streets that lay beyond the runic barrier Harry had erected a few minutes ago.
Everyone could only stare in shock as Harry directed the dragon toward the Leviathan, and the two behemoths clashed in the sky above Sokovia. The dragon’s claws tore into the Leviathan’s hull, exposing its vulnerable inner workings, and its rear claws raked through its underbelly, searing deep into the Leviathan’s flesh.
Energy blasts tore chunks off the stone dragon as the Leviathan screeched, and Harry directed the dragon away just in time for Tony to fire a powerful missile right at the Leviathan’s torn-apart underbelly. The impact blew the Leviathan up, and millions of alien fragments rained down all over the clearing as the massive creature fell to its death.
“Fucking hell, Potter. What the fuck was that!?” Tony exclaimed as he landed beside Harry who jerked his neck from left to right, making it pop.
“Language!” Steve reprimanded over the comms, making them roll their eyes good-naturedly.
“Just a little warm-up. Come on, we’ve got a lot left to take care of,” Harry replied, clapping the man on his armored back as he strode forward.
Tony could only stare at Harry’s back for a moment before he let out a chuckle and shot high in the air. The women had already reached the fortress, and it was time to blow that barrier up.
The Tesseract would be theirs soon.
To be continued…
