The Chosen One: Hero of Two Worlds

Chapter 40: Chapter 41



"Loki is playing mind games with us. The same way I played mind games with S.H.I.E.L.D." Harry said as he finally made his presence known. The others turn to look at him. "This means Loki won't show us his hand until he is ready to show it. If we got him lock up here, that means he has a plan to escape. Loki is putting doubt in our mind before he reveals his hand. When he makes his play, this team needs to be ready." Harry finished as he stands there aware everyone had turn to look at him. He was more than aware he was dress oddly in their eyes. Wearing robes instead of regular clothing.

"I heard you were coming. I thought you didn't want to show when you didn't show up yesterday." Banner said.

"What do you mean mind games?" Captain Rogers asks.

"It's about timing. He got himself capture to buy himself time, along with that I have no doubt the lie-smith himself would be able to sow some measure of discord with a few comments. That means something happened during his capture that he didn't want us to find out about. This means, Doctor Selvig likely acquired something to help Loki's cause. That also means the timetable has moved. Perhaps faster than any of us could have predicted." Harry paused as he closes his eyes. He was never into divination but he could see a battle raging on. It was still blurry, as he couldn't get a fixated on the location. "We may be too late." Harry again closes his eye as he goes over the information he had. "I think I know Loki's play." Harry suddenly said after spending close to a full minute thinking.

"What is it?" Everyone said almost in unison.

"I think he's going to find some way to disorganize us. To divide then conquer as it were. He means to have us fight each other before we fight him. Once we do that, we'll be easy pickings for him to tear apart." Harry said.

"Are you certain of this." Agent Hill asks.

"It what I would do." Harry said. "We're disoriented. Disorganized. We're not even a team yet so it wouldn't be all that difficult even for one of my admittedly limited experience never mind the god of lies himself. We were put together out of desperation not of our own choice. Loki will use that to his advantage."

'It's what Voldemort attempted to do as well.' Harry thought to himself.

Having seen the same play used at the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry wasn't so surprise by Loki's play, he was no doubt underestimating them.

"That's not reassuring." Banner said.

"But it's good to know." Roger replies.

"Do we know what was stolen during the time Loki was capture." Harry asks.

"Iridium. It stabilizes the quantum tunneling effect but allowing us to break the coulomb barrier at a lower temperature. My guess is, he's using it as a stabilizing agent to open the portal." Banner said.

"If we can get an idea where Loki is going to attack, then we can counter attack his army properly." Harry said.

Stark entered the bridge with Agent Coulson before adding his two cents along with a few snarky comments. Harry ignores him as he looked at Nick Fury who arrived on the scene.

"Hello Director, how was your chat with Loki." Harry queried in amusement.

"Reminds me of talking to you." Nick Fury ground out to Harry.

"Only I was reasonable. Loki is messing with you. Only he's doing it differently than the way I did it. We know his endgame, we know what he's going to do. The only thing we don't know… is how he's going to do it. It's what going to keep us up at night." Harry said slowly. "I think it wise to keep an arm guard detail around Loki's cell. Keep your sensors all around that cell to detect the slightest movement. We need to know what's he doing to know how he plans on escaping."

"I'll get on it. Of course, we don't want to tip him off that we're on to his plan." Nick Fury said.

Harry looks around and sees Stark and Banner already left.

"Do you have somewhere where I can sleep and work?" Harry asks.

"Agent Romanoff, could you please show Mister Potter to his room."

"Better not be a prison." Harry mutters as he follows the red head.

"Don't worry, we reserve you the best room possible." Romanoff said in a husky tone. "And the company is excellent."

"Still trying to seduce me." Harry sighed as he looked at her.

Romanoff stops and turns to look at him. She gives him a calculating look at she studies him.

"You got a problem with me?" She asks.
