Chapter 26 Harry's Sitting Room Beneath the Parker Residence
Fleur watched her second husband beneath a cloak of intangibility. She had recently arrived within the physical form of her counterpart. Fleur found it fascinating that this counterpart was so old and had already traversed between universes. But the technique used for the traversal was not anywhere near the level of refinement that Fleur and her family currently used.
"I guess that isn't surprising considering my first husband's power," Fleur mused to her replicat companion Turia.
"Yes...Path-Harry is an exception to the rule," Turia replied.
It still sounded strange to hear the newest hyphenated addition to Harry's many titles. That was what her Ascended first husband was now called according to his Channel. So that was what Fleur and her fellow wives of the Ascended god called him in situations where there was more than one Harry Potter involved. And Fleur guessed she was called Path-Fleur. She had come to this Path seed verse where Harry had seeded his divine essence to take the local Harry Potter as her second husband. Except upon arrival Path-Fleur had discovered that Native-Fleur (Path-Fleur's counterpart) had been in a separate universe along with the Native-Hermione and Native-Nym than Native-Harry. It hadn't taken Fleur long after her merger to track down her wayward second husband and that was how she found herself silently watching him.
442
In many ways he resembled her first husband. Both versions of Harry were driven to take many women as lovers. Both versions were describable as kick-ass and skilled warriors. Both men had that intense charisma about them that she had come to love. That charisma seemed to exist in the majority of Harry Potters she had encountered but was rarely as intense as it was in Path-Harry and the version Fleur was coming to think of as UM-Harry (Ultimate Marvel-Harry).
"This can get confusing," Fleur told Turia.
"For you organics maybe," Turia said in a teasing tone.
Fleur stuck her tongue out at her replicat.
"Do you think I should reveal myself to him now and take him as my second husband now or wait?" Fleur asked.
Native-Hermione and Native-Nym were still searching for UM-Harry but hadn't had much success as of yet. Fleur knew that Turia was more tapped into Fleur's subconscious desires and would know what Fleur would truly want.
"You do desire to take him physically. But you also want to sit back and watch him for a while," Turia answered. "My recommendation is to wait for a while."
"I get plenty of satisfaction every day from Path-Harry," Fleur said as she thought over the response. "I agree...let's wait."
Fleur returned her focus to the version of UM-Harry present before her as Susan Storms entered his sitting room.
"What's up love?" Harry asked Susan as he looked up from his reading.
"There has been an incident with the Fantastic Four," Susan replied. "They were trying to handle things themselves but Sue has been kidnapped. She was heading to a scientific conference in Russia when her plane went down. She has been taken."
"I assume she isn't in any danger?" Harry said as he stood up.
"No she isn't," Susan said. "I have already made sure of that. But we should go head over to the Baxter Building to assist."
"Let's go," Harry said. Fleur followed them as the two left.
Siberia
Harry and Susan had followed Ben, Johnny, and Reed to Russia. The three remaining members of the FF had taken the Seven-Ten-Split. The invisible couple bore witness as Johnny flew through a nearby group of trees in the middle of a snow storm.
443
"I understand he is pissed at Reed...but he's still behaving like a petulant child," Susan told her lover. "Yes...he needs to do some serious growing up," Harry replied with agreement.
Just then a large figure in red armor burst out of the storm and shot at Johnny. Johnny ran into a tree as a result. The armored figure was called Crimson Dynamo which was a poor man's version of Iron-Man for the Eastern Block. But the Dynamo had been around a lot longer than Iron-Man. Ben rushed forward and delivered a powerful uppercut that sent Dynamo hurtling back into one of the nearby trees.
"An old S.H.I.E.L.D. file told me this guy is called the Crimson Dynamo," Reed called. "Watch out for his... Remote Fighter Probe," Reed finished lamely because Ben had already taken an energy beam from the RFP.
Harry became visible and said in flawless Russian, "These are not your enemies Dynamo." The fighting stopped just before Reed could try grabbing Dynamo.
Dynamo backed off and retracted his face-plate before asking, "I recognize Spider-Man. Are these ones with you?"
"Yes," Harry confirmed. "What are you doing in Russia?" Dynamo asked.
"We are searching for a young woman who went missing after her plane went down. Why are you out here?" Harry questioned.
"I am searching for stolen technology...Crimson Dynamo and super-soldier components," Dynamo answered. "Satellite images show girl was taken alive. She was taken to Tropka science station. I show you."
"Please do so," Reed replied.
Tropka
Harry and Susan were riding in the Seven-Ten-Split within the module Sue would normally sit in. It was cozy but the two lovers didn't mind. Dynamo was flying alongside the Seven-Ten-Split singing Russian songs.
"I don't think this guy is sane," Johnny said.
"Our Russian friend is almost a passenger in that suit. The suit controls 23 different weapons systems. All he pretty much does is aim it at what to destroy," Reed mused as he read over the specs from the S.H.I.E.L.D. file for the Dynamo armor.
"Yes...well he also controls what he sings," Johnny pointed out.
"We're about to meet some similar figures to our Crimson friend out there only they won't be so friendly," Harry warned.
444
Johnny took flight under his own power as a large doorway with several figures visible within opened up in the compound below.
"Battle of worthy enemies makes my heart sing," Dynamo called as the opposition took flight.
The opposition consisted of Green, Gray, Purple, and Red-Gold armored figures. Red-Gold was actually two people that were linked with an energy coupling where one of their arms should have been. Red-Gold could split into two beings if needed.
"Why don't you go inside and give your sister a hand," Harry suggested to Susan. "She could use it." "Ok...I'm on it," Susan answered before activating the teleportation network and being transported into the
lab Sue was within.
Meanwhile Harry worked with Crimson Dynamo, Ben, Johnny, and Reed to battle the armored mercenaries. Harry took up his usual role of making sure none of his allies were seriously maimed or killed. He also kept an eye on things with Susan and Sue.
Inside the Lab
Sue had been kidnapped by a scientist named Dr. Kragoff. Kragoff had been studying how to use the N-Zone for beneficial medical purposes when his wife had fallen deathly ill. Kragoff had figured out a method to use transportation through the N-Zone to overwrite his wife's mind onto Sue's body. Of course he had needed Sue's help to finalize the process. Kragoff had drugged Sue into telling him what he needed to know. Unfortunately for Kragoff a woman who had been working with him Rutskaya had killed him. Rutskaya was what some would call an eco-terrorist. Rutskaya wanted to use Sue's powers to stop pollution and the raping of the natural resources of the world. Unfortunately for Rutskaya, Sue had managed to get free just before the teleportation had occurred. As a result Rutskaya had been combined with a group of gorillas kept in the lab for experiments.
Sue now stood before the hideous Rutskaya in nothing but a torn lab gown. Rutskaya now sported the body of an ape with her human face alongside about six howling primate heads. She looked like that monster from Greek myth Kampi in a way. Like Kampi the animal faces kept shifting and boiling.
"I died in the fire and was reborn Ms. Storm. This is the grand scheme of science, rationalism, and Western capital—to rape the world and call it good. Don't you agree?" Rutskaya asked.
Sue held a shield out before her to stop Rutskaya from being able to attack.
"You appear to be the mad scientist in this room Rutskaya," Sue said. "These are your toys. I don't even work here."
"Samson brought down the temple from the inside. And that is what I will – Oh. Your invisible force-field. This should be mine now," Rutskaya said as she encountered Sue's shield.
"You can't have it. It's still in use," Sue rebutted. "You are a shameless hypocrite. I would have used your power to heal the world," Rutskaya raved. "You
445
just hide behind your power like a whimpering child." Sue lashed out with the shield sending Rutskaya hurtling into the furthest wall in the lab. "Do I look like a whimpering child to you," Sue called. "Nice job sis," Susan whispered as she made herself selectively visible to Sue's eyes only.
Then Rutskaya shot forward in a blur of motion and passed right through Sue's shield. But Susan was fast and brought up a barrier at the surface of Sue's skin that existed in more dimensions of spacetime than Sue's did. Rutskaya tried gripping Sue by the throat and crushing but to no avail.
"I am like a ghost...better than your invisibility," Rutskaya cried with mad glee. "Gaia will have her vengeance."
Susan batted Rutskaya back again and Sue took the opportunity to turn invisible and run off. Meanwhile the fight outside had ended with Harry's side being victorious. Harry's party had entered the lab complex and headed unerringly towards Sue with Harry's guidance. At the same moment Reed and Harry laid eyes on Sue and Susan a gorilla with eyes that had a green glow surrounding them appeared at the hallway behind the running women. The green glow intensified and an energy beam shot out of the primate's eyes. Susan flicked her wrist having sensed the incoming attack and deflected it back at the ape. The ape vanished with a small shockwave of dissipating energy.
"What the hell was that?" Ben asked.
"Rutskaya, a woman working here tried to steal my powers through a form of N-Zone teleportation. Instead she ended up combining herself with primates among other things. She has the power to penetrate my shields like a ghost, moves very fast, and I guess to create those separate apes," Sue briefed her friends.
Just then Rutskaya stepped into sight at the opposite end of the hall. She raised her hand and a stream of primates consisting of orangutans, gorillas, and baboons streamed out of her. All of the energy primates had glowing eyes and rushed towards Harry's group.
Just then a grizzly bear wearing some type of technological metal cap on its head came rushing from a side hallway and cried, "Iss Wicked Mmmonkey."
The bear tackled Rutskaya. Sue darted into a nearby lab as Harry, Reed, Susan, Johnny, Ben, and Crimson Dynamo engaged the ghost-primates. The ghost-primates seemed to be able to take on Ben's rock-form, Johnny's fire form, and Reed's stretchable form. Seconds after the fight had begun Sue came back out of the lab and tossed something through Rutskaya's semi-solid form. Rutskaya let out a scream and the primate heads began changing into other animals including crabs, snakes, horses, sharks, bats, and wolves. Rutskaya screamed some things in Russian.
"She is morpho-genetically unstable," Sue announced. "She can't decide what option to choose."
Harry activated the teleporter and got the group out of there just before the compound exploded. Rutskaya had rigged some extra dynamo armor that hadn't been piloted during the fight outside to explode. The explosion was impressively large.
"Do you think she survived that?" Johnny asked. "She seemed to be part ghost."
446
"I believe we'll find out someday," Harry said enigmatically.
"In other words...he's not telling," Susan said. "Let's go home."
The group said goodbye to Crimson Dynamo and did just that. Sue asked to be teleported home with Harry and Susan rather than ride in the Seven-Ten-Split. Harry learned later from Susan that Reed had said some very hurtful things to Sue while working on his Cube project. That was the reason Sue had gone to Russia by herself.
"Well that is new," Sue said as she, Harry, and Susan stood on a building within sight of the Baxter Building.
A giant semi-transparent energy construct in the shape of a cube radiated out from the Baxter Building with everyone and everything inside appearing to be frozen.
"Reed...what have you done now," Harry said.
"I think you are right...this might be the cube," Reed said as he analyzed the energy barrier. "The cube has a limited capability to be programmed. I left it standing orders to defend itself. Perhaps that is what this is.
There is one quick way to tell." Reed placed his fingertips on the energy barrier and said, "Recognize me, and the people who are with me. Let us in. Work around us with whatever it is you are doing so that we can move freely."
"A time dilation field is quite impressive but is pretty achievable in even a crude inefficient technology given the energies your cube is wielding," Harry said as the barrier opened up and he and his allies walked inside.
"You can detect that that is what is freezing everyone?" Reed asked.
"Yes," Harry confirmed.
"Are you able to tell what caused the cube to react this way?" Sue questioned.
Harry looked off towards the upper floors of the Baxter Building where the cube was housed. He was silent for several moments as he processed the findings of a scan. His expression became a mildly angry one.
"I can tell," Harry confirmed.
"That isn't good," Susan said as she also got the same readings.
"What is it?" Ben asked.
The group was moving up through the Baxter Building by this point.
"You'll see in a moment," Susan replied.
When the group reached the cube storage room it became obvious the threat the cube had sensed was the members of Seed Nineteen. Harry's girlfriend Threshold was reaching out for the cube frozen.
"Halcyon Command must have sent Seed Nineteen to retrieve the cube. I thought I had earned their trust given all of the help I am giving them resisting Thanos," Harry said. Harry unfroze Threshold and
447
telekinetically drew her towards him away from the cube. "And I thought you Thresh trusted me more." Thresh looked pained as she focused on her lover.
"I do trust you, Harry. It's just...I have a duty to my people. My whole life has been about fighting Thanos and his forces," Thresh explained. "You can't expect me to change overnight."
"I can understand that. But sneaking around behind my back is not acceptable just so you know. I am friends with the Fantastic Four. Stealing from them without talking to me first isn't ok. Dreamcatcher...come out of Johnny," Harry instructed.
"How long have you known I was there?" Dreamcatcher asked in surprise as she appeared.
Johnny was even more surprised than her.
"Since I knew it was Seed Nineteen the cube reacted against," Harry replied.
"That cube cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Thanos," Thresh said. "It must be destroyed."
"Events in this universe will play out how they will. But I will oppose Thanos if he tries taking the cube," Harry said.
"I don't know that that will be good enough for command," Thresh said. Dreamcatcher made to act to try to destroy the cube which Reed had picked up by this point. "But it's good enough for me. Stand down Dream," Thresh ordered.
"You know what it cost our people to destroy the last cube," Dreamcatcher said in a pained tone.
"I do. But I also know you trust me," Thresh said.
"I do. You've saved me many times...and so has Harry," Dreamcatcher said as she stayed her hands.
"Halcyon Command is sending a fleet. They are probably already approaching orbit," Thresh said. "I can plead your case but it is more likely I will be branded a traitor."
"Reed, if you give me the cube I can hide it from all so that Command has no reason to attack here. I'm fairly confident I can hide it even from Thanos," Harry offered.
Reed looked to his teammates and saw they liked this plan.
"I trust you Harry. You have saved Earth so many times and us even more often," Reed said as he held out the cube.
"Will you tell Command the cube is out of their reach?" Harry asked his girlfriend.
"Yes...they won't be happy. But there isn't much they can do. If they don't know its location then attacking you won't do any good," Thresh replied. "Teleport me up there please?"
"Yes," Harry said with a nod. Thresh stepped up to him and kissed him quickly before stepping back and saying, "I'm sorry."
448
"We'll talk later," Harry assured. Harry activated the teleporter. "I'll be back. I'm going to go hide this."
Harry disappeared. He hid the cube in the eleventh dimensional layer in his personal region of spacetime which only he and his original three mates could access. Of course Hermione, Fleur, and Nym would have to be in the same universe as him to access what he was storing in there now. By the time Harry had returned from placing protections upon the cube Threshold was back in the Baxter Building. She had regained access to her bio-net A.I.'s ability to call up teleportation. Threshold's bio-net A.I. had not been happy in her decision to go against what Harry had wanted. This was why the bio-net A.I. hadn't protected Thresh from the cube's ability to freeze her. The bio-net A.I. Ajax had known that the cube wasn't harming Thresh by freezing her so had allowed it to happen.
"That went about as well as can be expected," Thresh said. "They have agreed to let you guard the cube with anonymity...mostly because I think they knew they couldn't do anything about it."
"We have incoming," Reed warned as an alarm began going off.
Reed ran over to a panel in his lab and activated one of his sensor arrays. A hologram manifested which showed two creatures that looked like giant space whales diving through the atmosphere towards Manhattan. The creatures were under fire by the fleet in orbit around Earth.
"Acheron skywhales," Threshold announced in a distraught tone. "They belong to Thanos?" Sue asked. "Yes," Thresh replied. "This is not good."
The shield went up around the Baxter Building at Reed's command. As the whales drew closer they sustained heavy damage. But then a teleportation event occurred with overwhelming power. The next thing anyone knew the sky changed. Everything for several blocks around the Baxter Building had been teleported into one of the desert wastelands on the planet Acheron.
"Umm...shit," Ben swore.
"If this involves Thanos we might need the cube back to defend ourselves, Harry," Reed suggested. "That isn't a good option," Harry replied.
"It might be our only option," Johnny said. "Look," He added while pointing to an alien army amassing in the desert nearby.
The members of Seed 19 with the exception of Threshold had remained behind with their fleet when she had teleported up.
"Thanos is here," Threshold hissed in alarm. "What do we do?" Threshold looked to her boyfriend in alarm.
"We face him," Harry replied. "Let's go." Harry took Thresh's hand to reassured her and channeled a powerful calming charm into her. As Susan floated the entire group towards the awaiting army on a force- field Harry sent to Thresh, "It will be ok. I won't let anything happen to you."
449
"I love you," Thresh said in case this was her last chance to say it. "And I love you," Harry answered as the group set down just past the edge of the section of Manhattan that
had been teleported to Acheron.
The moment the Earthlings touched down several of the Acheron war machines opened far. Several Acheron equivalents to a tank shot large caliber energy rounds. Susan deflected the shots with a shield and didn't show any strain. Thanos stood further back from the fight as the Earthlings unleashed destruction on the Acheronian army. Harry too intervened little and instead stared down Thanos. Thanos was waiting to see if the cube was used. Thanos intended to use the people captured with the Baxter Building to force his opponents' hands.
Harry wasn't stupid and had guessed as much.
"Ben," Reed cried in alarm as part-way through the fight Ben glowed brightly and was then gone.
"He was just teleported away," Harry shouted. "I'm tracking him. He is unharmed."
The fighting wore on for twenty more minutes before Thanos called a halt to the attack. Thanos walked calmly forward towards the Earthlings.
"Why do you not use the cube I know you created?" Thanos demanded in a voice that carried to the group of Earthlings.
Something was wrong here. Thanos seemed far too confident against the cube. Lily ran through many probabilities for such confidence and came up with a few likely reasons.
"Sue...you said Reed hasn't been acting himself recently. Would you say it was almost like he was possessed?" Harry sent to Sue so that Thresh and Susan could hear his telepathic communication as well.
Already Lily was scanning Reed for residual traces of Thanos' essence. "Yes...I suppose so. Why do you ask?" Sue responded.
"Because I think Thanos was possessing Reed and driving him to create the cube so quickly and with such fervor," Harry replied.
"Thanos has installed something that will allow him to control the cube as well as Reed," Threshold suggested in a tone of dread.
"I believe so," Harry confirmed. "He's trying to draw out the cube so he can take possession of it," Susan surmised.
While this conversation had been taking place at the speed of thought Reed had been conversing with Thanos.
Harry stepped forward and said, "I will take it from here Reed." "And who are you to be so bold?" Thanos asked. "I like to know who I give the gift of death to."
450
"I am Harry but known on my planet as Spider-Man," Harry answered. "I am the one who gave the gift of death to Ronan and Gallowglass before him."
The slightly-insane grin that had been on Thanos' face disappeared as he realized who was standing before him.
"I see," Thanos said. "You will find that my sons are not as strong as I. My spies tell me you have been helping the efforts of Halcyon. For that you will die painfully. But first you will tell me where the cube is."
"I don't believe I will," Harry answered.
"Then all of the beings transported here with you in that city behind you will die first," Thanos said. "Kill them," Thanos commanded one of his generals. "Spider-Man is mine."
The army made to move forward but a shield sprang up surrounding the city.
"Keep this army occupied if you will," Harry told Susan and Threshold. "I'll deal with Thanos. Feel free to call in some backup."
As the battle began Harry noticed his other lovers appearing on the battlefield. She-Hulk was particularly noticeable smashing her way through the horde. Phoenix began burning enemy aliens to ash by the dozens. Harry could tell she wasn't yet even flexing her wings.
"The time for talk is over," Thanos said as he sent a lance of energy out of his left palm at Harry.
Harry dodged the energy and rushed the mad titan. Thanos ducked Harry's left handed back-fist but the right handed reverse-punch Harry threw caught Thanos in the solar plexus and sent Thanos hurtling off into the distance airborne. Harry leapt after Thanos summoning his sword to his hand. Honestly, Harry hadn't been confident Thanos would have fallen for such a simple move but sometimes Harry encountered such things. If a being had immense strength and energy-projection abilities they sometimes tended to ignore training in physical combat. Thanos climbed back to his feet as Harry was coming down from a landing. Thanos drew back his leg to kick Harry as Harry came down but Harry grabbed onto Thanos' leg mid-swing and used a sticking charm to hold on. Harry turned the motion into a twist which allowed him to wrap his legs around Thanos' neck.
Harry was now facing Thanos but upside down. While Thanos was trying to loosen the grip which Spider- Man had on his face he felt a powerful blow to his groin that knocked the air out of his lungs and sent a nauseating pain blossoming in his stomach. Thanos already hadn't been able to think clearly because of breathing issues from the squeezing he was getting. The addition of the groin shot saw Thanos drop to his knees. Thanos managed to get his hand up and shoot more energy bolts at Spider-Man. But the superhero danced out of the way of each of the shots. Thanos realized he was in trouble. He cried out and sent a ball of energy bursting out of his form. Immediately he felt a quarter of his power reserves vanish with the effort. The tactic had worked to drive Spider-Man back a distance but not as far as Thanos would have liked. This gave Thanos time to get to his feet.
The two super-beings engaged again. The landscape of the planet was torn and blown up as Harry and Thanos fought with strength and the occasional energy blast from Thanos. Harry dodged all of the energy blasts from his opponent. It was obvious Thanos was tiring from the decreasing frequency of his energy attacks. Thanos began to take more visible damage with cuts appearing on his flesh.
"We are too evenly matched, Spider-Man," Thanos called as he tried to mask his fatigue. "You will have to
451
use the cube to destroy me. I am durable."
"I'm afraid you are wrong again," Harry said. "I have been using the time we have been fighting to build up something that can end you."
Without further ado Harry teleported to just to Thanos' left facing the Titan and unleashed a rupturing curse custom-designed for beings of Thanos' power level, durability, and regenerative abilities. Thanos barely had enough time to turn his head before the blinding white curse struck him. This rupturing curse attacked a being's essence on all levels of space-time Harry knew about. The light given off as Thanos screamed was brighter than the star Acheron orbited. Thanos was completely unmade. He would never meet death because he simply ceased to exist. But the curse was costly.
Harry had been building up the complex energy matrix that was the rupturing curse throughout the fight and only with Lily's help. As soon as he struck out with the curse Harry felt one-third of his energy reserves vanish. That was why Harry hadn't used any energy attacks in return and hadn't fought at a higher level. There was nothing left of Thanos but Harry conjured a burnt husk of a corpse with Lily's help that would fool all of the scanners on the planet Acheron. Harry then teleported with the corpse in front of Thanos' army. The fighting had mostly been put down before Thanos' death but any resistant stopped the moment the corpse hit the ground.
"Thanos is dead," Threshold called for all to hear. "Surrender or flee." And that is what Thanos' army did.
"Harry...I just realized the cube has to be sent back to Thanos thirty-thousand years ago like the history says. We must have sent the cube back in time," Reed said as he approached.
"That isn't necessary. I have technology which can fix a temporal paradox of that nature," Harry assured. "You do," Reed said with awe. "Can I study it?"
Harry looked carefully at Reed and said, "There are some things you just aren't ready for my friend. Perhaps someday."
Sue approached Reed and took his hand which caused him to look at her in surprise.
"You were being controlled by Thanos when you finished the cube and said those things to me," Sue told her boyfriend. "I forgive you."
The couple went off to talk in private. "It looks like it is just the cleanup now," Thresh said. "Where's Ben at?" Johnny asked.
"He was taken by Thanos' daughter because she had something of a crush on him. He is talking to her right now. I think they may be along shortly. She's only mildly crazy but has no intention of harming Ben," Harry explained.
"At least our lives are never boring," Susan mused with a grin.
452
Nobody could disagree with that notion. And then the cleanup began.
Across the Street from Kick's Billiards, Manhattan
Harry had been watching the WWH feed when his counterpart had been tipped off to an up-and-coming criminal that went by the name Kangaroo. Captain Jeanne De Wolfe had been the one supplying the tip under Kingpin's payroll but that was neither here nor there. Harry had decided to come check out Kangaroo's pool hall and found it interesting that Daredevil had decided to come at the same time. Daredevil was a costumed vigilante which Spider-Man had not encountered since Harry's merger with Peter Parker. Harry had encountered the man behind the mask a little bit when Matthew Murdock (Daredevil) acted as Bruce Banner's attorney.
Harry silently phased through the wall of the main billiard room and remained invisible as he watched Daredevil move through the room beating up thugs.
"Unnatural though his mutation may be he has skill in martial arts," Lily observed. "Agreed," Harry replied.
Things took a turn for the worse for Daredevil when Kangaroo came running in from a back room with more guys. Eventually Daredevil was held firmly by several guys as Kangaroo started punching him.
"Nobody comes into my place and disrespects me," Kangaroo snarled after another punch to the jaw.
"That will be enough of that," Harry said as he made himself visible and stepped away from the one wall where he had been leaning.
"Oh shit...it's Spider-Man," One thug called stating the very obvious. Just then Harry's spider-sense went off. He glanced up at a nearby roof-top.
"Well that was unexpected," Harry said even as the vigilante known as the Punisher A.K.A. Frank Castle fired an RPG at the pool hall.
Harry raised his hand and caused personal shields to form around every thug in the pool hall that hadn't intentionally killed someone. There weren't many thugs like that in Kangaroo's employ. Harry calmly walked out of the pool hall with Daredevil coming out a moment later. Harry looked up at Punisher who was holding two automatic AK-47's.
"Everyone here is dirt," Punisher called before unloading on the building.
Harry's shield deflected the gunfire from himself and Daredevil who flinched severely as the bullets disintegrated inches from his face. The gunfire was cut off as Moon Knight jumped Punisher from the side.
"I love this universe. Events are never boring," Harry casually informed Daredevil before leaping up to the roof-top where Moon Knight and Punisher were fighting hand-to-hand.
Harry stood back and watched Moon Knight and Punisher fight it out. Punisher was also trying to use his guns. Harry was forced to deflect bullets away from nearby buildings less they hit innocent bystanders.
453
Daredevil remained behind to deal with Kangaroo who had survived beneath the rubble of the pool hall. The police cars were showing up at this point. Harry saw an opportunity here as Captain Jeanne De Wolfe climbed out of one of the cars and approached a downed and bloody Kangaroo. She leaned down and passed the message to Kangaroo that this was Kingpin making good on a threat to tell Kangaroo to back off from doing business in Kingpin's territory.
Harry went invisible and watched as Punisher prevailed. Moon Knight went running. Harry relocated down to just next to De Wolfe. When Punisher's bullet came for her it would have gone right through her heart from behind. Harry's hand was in the way. De Wolfe spun and quickly realized what had happened. Punisher was already getting the hell out of there because it was obvious Spider-Man was out of his league and wasn't going to let Frank clean up everything.
"I know you are dirty," Harry told De Wolfe. "Leave the force and get your shit together or I won't stop another bullet again."
De Wolfe knew true terror in that moment. "I...I can't. Fisk would never let me out," Jeanne replied.
Jeanne had been sleeping with Wilson Fisk before his exile from Manhattan. She was still an informant for him and did jobs for him and he occasionally flew her down to where he was staying for sex.
"You can," Harry said as he cast a spell on Jeanne. "Wilson Fisk won't recognize you now. He will forget about you and leave you be. Walk away or die."
A shiver ran down Jeanne's spine at the power of the being before her. If what he said was true she had to begin again. She had little doubt he was telling the truth. He was Spider-Man. And then he was gone.
Frank Castle's Manhattan Safe House
"I like your goals but your methods are not discriminating enough," Harry said to Punisher as the vigilante sat at a table cleaning guns.
Frank Castle spun with a gun raised pointed at Harry quickly.
"I shouldn't be surprised you are here. Are you here to take me back to prison?" Frank asked as he lowered the gun knowing it would be useless against who stood before him.
"No. Actually I'm here to give you a bit of help. If you can stop killing those who haven't killed anyone I will give you something you very much desire," Harry said.
"And what is that?" Frank questioned.
Frank ruthlessly tried to suppress his hopes. There were rumors of this man's capabilities. Spider-Man may be able to supply Frank with what Frank truly wanted. Spider-Man's next words confirmed that fact.
"Your family back," Harry said. "I'm listening," Frank said.
454
Roof of Matthew Murdock's Apartment Building
"I hear you have been asking around about me," Harry said from where he sat perched on the edge of the apartment building.
Matthew Murdock in his Daredevil costume had just finished climbing onto the roof. Daredevil stumbled as his heart raced. Matt hadn't heard anyone present and he always heard everyone with his enhanced hearing.
"Spider-Man," Matt said. "I take it by your presence here that you know who I am?" "Indeed I do," Harry answered. "Now why were you asking around about me?"
"I wanted to know...still want to know," Matt began. "Why you are letting Fisk live as a free man," Matt explained as he took a seat on the same ledge Spider-Man was sitting on.
Harry thought about his answer. "You are aware that I have made it almost impossible for Fisk's bribes to take right?" Harry questioned.
"Yes...we see so many cases going through the court system of people exposed taking his bribes. Nobody wants to go to prison for taking a bribe from Wilson Fisk," Matt said.
"Do you believe that same threat would work on inmates in prison?" Harry asked.
Matt was silent as he thought about it before admitting, "No it wouldn't. But he is killing so many people. And you have the power to stop him." "You are very young Mr. Murdock. At some point in your life you might learn that there is a big difference between having the power and ability to perform an action and it being right to carry out that action. Do you think it is right that mankind spreads across this planet and uses up all the natural resources in a very wasteful way? Mankind has the ability to do it as they have so readily proven. But is it right for them to do it? I come from a time where this endless consumerism laid waste to the planet for a long time until technology was able to fix it. But if technology hadn't been developed then the rightness of mankind's actions would be viewed in a very different light," Harry explained.
"I understand your point. I really do. You don't want to play god here...but if that is the case why help at all?" Matt questioned.
"I help where I feel like it. I'm not perfect," Harry answered. "As far as Fisk killing people...he isn't killing anybody that isn't a scumbag responsible for killing innocents. I'm making sure of that much."
"I see," Matt replied and was silent as he puzzled through that response.
Matt had to remember that the being next to him was far older and far more powerful than simple appearance would suggest. For all intents and purposes Spider-Man might have been a god if rumors to Spider-Man's true capabilities were to be believed.
"He is suffering on the run because he is incapable of achieving his goal even with the resources at his disposal," Harry explained.

"His plight amuses you," Matt said in realization.
"Yes. I'm slowly chipping away at his power a piece at a time. For example I just took away one of Fisk's sex partners and spies the other day when I ran into you," Harry suggested.
"I guess I don't see all of that. Why are you explaining this all to me?" Matt couldn't help but ask.
"My technology allows me to check up on people pretty quickly and to learn a lot about them. I have checked up on you. You have your faults like everyone but you are generally pretty good guy. You could use more friends," Harry suggested. "And less enemies."
"Says the guy with more enemies than anyone in the world I know of," Matt said with an amused laugh.
"Yeah...but they are enemies worth having. I am the enemy of all that seek to harm innocents," Harry replied.
"True," Matt agreed. "Ok...so I am not getting after Fisk anytime soon. It sounds like he is having a harder time under your watch than he would in prison."
"So I have a question for you," Harry said. "If you had the opportunity to have your eyes healed so that you could see would you?"
Matt's heart raced at that question. Matt thought if anyone could heal his eyes it would be Spider-Man.
"That depends...would I retain my special abilities? And would it involve the infamous method you use to revive the dead?" Matt questioned.
Harry thought for a time about his answer before he said, "Your special abilities would diminish for a time while your brain readjusted to having normal sight back. Your abilities would come back but they would need training." Harry paused to let Matt absorb this information. "As to the method...no...it wouldn't involve that method. I just did something so you can't tell anybody what I am about to tell you so I don't need to tell you not to share this. But I don't actually have to use my seed to revive people."
Matt was stunned at both the fact that Spider-Man could stop him from telling anyone some information and the fact that Spider-Man's infamous seed-technique for revival and healing was unnecessary. There was much talk in the media and in a couple of books about the seed-technique. Women didn't seem to mind at all but men were highly uncomfortable for obvious reasons. Of course they would rather undergo the seed- technique than stay dead so none of the guys blamed Spider-Man. But if they only knew what Matt had just learned.
"Then why do it?" Matt questioned.
"Well at first I just did it because I find it very satisfying to see a woman drinking my seed and it was a convenient mechanism to deliver healing. Don't get me wrong...it really does heal. It's just...I don't need to employ that method," Harry explained. "But I can't very well get away with doing it selectively only to women."
"You could say it only works on female physiology," Matt suggested before realizing that sounded weak even to him.

The look Spider-Man threw him had Matt realizing Spider-Man agreed on the thinness of that excuse. "So what is your response to the healing of your eyes?" Harry asked. "Yes of course," Matt replied. "This will just take a second," Harry said as he brought his hands up on both sides of Matt's head by his eyes.
Harry's hands glowed and the damage was quickly repaired. Lily had already extensively scanned Matt's injury and directed Harry's abilities on how to heal the damage. Matt blinked when Harry had withdrawn his hands and looked around disoriented. "It has been so long since I have seen things like this," Matt said as he blinked while looking around in disorientation.
"I bet," Harry said in agreement.
"Thank you," Matt said with the gratitude clear in his tone. "That doesn't seem adequate for what you just did for me."
"It's enough...trust me. I went through something similar when I gave Ben Grimm the ability to turn into human-form again," Harry explained.
"Yeah...I bet you did," Matt replied as he finally got his disorientation under control.
"Well I'll leave you to get adjusted," Harry said as he stood from that ledge. "I suggest you call up that nurse friend of yours. You have never seen a woman naked in person with that sight."
"Maybe I will do that," Matt said as he realized Harry was right.
As Harry prepared to leave he added, "Oh and Matt...you made an error on your tax return three years ago. You have an email waiting in your inbox that will tell you how to correct the mistake without the IRS finding out before they catch it in some future audit."
Matt turned to look at Spider-Man and found the world's greatest hero gone. It was then that Matt realized that Spider-Man hadn't been kidding about having looked into Matt's past. Matt just hadn't realized how deep that look had been. Matt wasn't sure if he should feel comforted or violated. Given the gratitude he felt for Spider-Man, Matt settled on comforted.
May's Room, Parker Residence...
Fleur watched invisibly as May Parker pleasured herself while looking at images of her nephew and using a dildo that Fleur could tell was modeled after this universe's Harry Potter though slightly reduced in size. It amused Fleur greatly that one of Harry's mates had provided the dildo for May. Fleur was less amused by the fact that Harry hadn't bedded May simply because he was squeamish given the fact that she was technically his aunt in this universe, or rather Peter's aunt. Fleur was not put off in the slightest by this fact. She decided it would be up to her to intervene and get May some relief.
Fleur telepathically prompted May to get dressed in a particular dress that made May look gorgeous. May had the sudden urge to go find her nephew in his lab. Meanwhile Fleur followed along and gathered a
457
portion of the power of her Ascended sex god of a husband which she had access to as one of his bonded.
"What are you working on, honey?" May asked as she came up behind the version of her nephew she found working in his lab.
"I'm studying an Asgardian artifact one of my companies located on Earth. It has some unusual arcane energy properties native to this universe," Harry answered as he looked up from the artifact and admired his aunt's attractive form.
May stepped closer and brushed up against her nephew, managing to rub the side of her breast against his arm as she looked at the artifact. As the visible pair flirted, Fleur concentrated on getting them both very hot and heavy. Fleur smirked as she worked her magic. She may have not been up to her husband's skill level but she was still capable of doing the job.
Begin Smut Scene
May gasped as she fell back onto her bed with Harry on top of her. Her summer dress rode up. Her sex was burning with need. The superhero wasted no time and grasping May's thong he ripped it clean from between her legs. She opened his pants and slipped them down over his muscular ass. May drew her legs back while he positioned himself between her thighs. May's eyes locked with her nephews as he pushed forward and his prick slid into her opening. The mature beauty's mouth twisted as a moan escaped between her lips. She was being stretched widely.
"Oh Peter...it's been so long," May whispered as she felt her nephew bottom out within her depths.
Harry relaxed in May's grip for a bit as she adjusted to his size. Her sleeve gripped his shaft tightly. The woman was quite wet and quite hot inside. His mouth trailed kisses along her jaw line. She was making small whimpering sounds of approval as he slowly drew his hips back. Then the warrior shoved his groin forward and buried his shaft fully back into her quim. May gasped as her insides were vigorously stimulated against hard dick-flesh. The action was repeated with Spider-Man's hips rocking back and forth between May's spread legs. She brought her heels down against the cheeks of his hard toned ass and ran her hands along his powerful biceps. May was moaning a mixture of incoherent words and his name as she had her pussy skewered. The woman's sleeve slid around his shaft as he worked his tool through her depths. Her juices coated his length as he probed her deepest vaginal recesses.
"Aunt May, shit...you feel so good," Harry purred as he worked his prick in and out of the vagina of the woman who had raised him.
For May the intimacy was greater than any she had experienced before. This was the young man she had raised all grown up. And grown he was. His shaft burrowing through her slick folds was thicker and longer than what she had previously accepted into her core. Her hands slid down to his sides and back. She felt powerful muscles flexing beneath her fingers as he used his shaft to stroke her inner walls. His hardness was like a hot lance through her sexual core. Pleasure surged out from her g-spot each time he shoved his meaty head against the nerve cluster. May kissed the side of his head tenderly as he explored her exposed flesh with lips and tongue. Then his mouth dipped lower until his lips found her left tit. She felt those lips sucking on the flesh until they found her nipple. May gasped and arched her back, driving her pelvis against his groin as his tongue seared across her sensitive tip. His tongue beat a relentless rhythm against the bud of her breast before it swirled around the tit and switched to the other mound. May clutched at her nephew's head as his mouth explored her tits all the while his lower half continued to rotate his shaft through her sheathe.
Harry's hands slid down to cup his aunt's butt and he grasped onto the soft flesh while he put his tool to its
458
designed use splitting open her vaginal passage. The moans and gasps were musical to the ancient male's ears. Her flowery scent tingled in his nostrils as they flared to feed him breath. May's air intake was also quickened by her blood pumping vigorously and her heart racing. Her muscles screamed at her to press herself against the male playing her form like an instrument. His bloated testicles swung back and forth and bounced off of her asshole. May's body was driven into the bed as the force of the male thrusting into her grew in magnitude and frequency. He sat up while continuing to drive into her. Harry grasped May's left leg and drew it up across his shoulder. He licked and sucked at the flesh on her calve. This new angle allowed his shaft to plunge into her in a different way. The sorcerer sent his magic and mind into May and massaged all of the nerves in her flesh and even her very soul with his power and will. May shuddered as a primal sense of connectedness and warmth filled her. Suddenly he pulled his aunt over so that she was on top of him and he was on his back.
As disorienting as it initially was May found she liked this new position very much. It gave her more control and the ability to experiment with the wonderful shaft buried in her pussy. The look of enjoyment on her partner's face was immensely rewarding. She felt his hands shift back and forth between grasping her hips and her rear. He especially seemed to love playing with her butt. But if the way his other ladies walked after a good time with him was anything to go by May was pretty sure she knew why. Her nephew was an ass man but May certainly didn't mind. His strong hands helped her move back and forth as she half rocked her hips and half bounced up and down on his pole. The gorgeous young man beneath her was like a chiseled Greek god or some Adonis of old. His flesh was stretched over sinewy muscle which rippled as he drove his hips upwards and sheathed his weapon in her sleeve. Each driving thrust upwards would have threatened to unseat May if it wasn't for Spider-Man's clinging hands. She wasn't going anywhere and she loved that fact. She felt her mind drift as she closed her eyes and just enjoyed the pounding her pussy was getting. Long deep strokes saw the tip of his prick going from her entrance to eight inches into her sex to but against her cervix. May had never felt so fulfilled. She played with her tits as she rode her mount. The pleasure slowly built in her belly and a pleased smile graced her lips.
Harry's Aunt May was a vision of beauty to him as she rode his dick for countless heartbeats. She was so warm, so caring, so sensuous, and so alive. Even her years of experience made her a babe in the woods to his amazingly long tenure on this side of the veil. Each new woman was a different flavor, a different scent, a different feel. Harry savored them all. Harry slid his hands up along May's back muscles and pulled her down until his mouth was in range. He crushed his lips to hers and plunged his tongue into her mouth. Their tongues fought and his dominated, sliding over every surface he had available to taste and touch. May sucked on his tongue and a moan vibrated into his mouth as he drove his hips faster. The warlock's prick rapidly oscillated in and out of her juicy snatch. When May needed to breathe she broke the kiss.
"Oh god," May gasped while throwing her head back. "Cum for me, beautiful," Harry urged with magic dancing from his fingers and dick into her body. "Yes! Oh hell yes!" May cried and collapsed against her partner as her muscles locked up.
When May's pussy clamped down on his dick Harry shoved his length fully into her and let loose with his full load. His prick pulsed and his seed began shooting into her belly. May went crazy and thrashed in her partner's powerful grasp. Her orgasm washed away thought coherency. Harry's own groans mirrored hers in volume and intensity as he ground his pelvis into her sex and reveled in the feel of her cunt squeezing his organ. The couple held each other as their joined sexes danced together.
"Oh damn...I've never felt that good," May declared between gasps for breathe. "I'll bet," Harry suggested knowingly. "Are you up for more?" Having an idea of what he meant by more May was all too willing and answered, "Bring it on."

Warning Anal From Here...
"Stick your hands and feet here," Harry directed while shooting webbing onto four places spaced apart on the wall above May's bed.
May stood and felt her nephew stand behind her. She approached the wall and reached up to place her hands on the webbing meant for her hands. The material was soft but extremely sticky. Her hands held fast and she levered herself up until she could place her feet against the wall. May suddenly felt as if gravity had less of a hold on her and assumed it was something her young lover had done. She felt him grasp the cheeks of her ass and spread them apart before his face was against her. His tongue probed her asshole which hadn't felt the attentions of another person for a goodly number of years. May moaned approvingly and wriggled her rear encouragingly. His tongue slid from her pucker down to her juicy slit before returning to her anus.
"Yes Harry...eat my tight little ass," May cooed. "I'm going to enjoy your thick hot cock even more than your wonderful tongue."
Harry drew back with a grin from his feasting on May's butt and stroked his prick which was harder than ever. Spider-Man crawled up the wall over the aroused female until he was pressed against her back. She was breathing heavily in excitement. He brought his fat sausage up between her buns and pushed against her asshole. Magical energy surged into May's nerve endings and her bottom portal's muscles gave up the fight. To May it felt as if she was being skewered by a shaft comprised of hardness, heat, and charged lust. Her pussy was leaking copious juices down her thighs as she felt her guts spread around the organ slowly sliding up her backside. Finally he was completely inside of her, home in her colon. May took deep breaths as she adjusted to the realization that she had taken every bit of her nephew's beautiful tool in her butt. She felt his hand on her jaw turning her head. She obliged and was rewarded with a soul searing kiss that was equal parts dominance and equal parts gentle.
Harry plundered his mate's mouth while he slowly started to move his hips back and forth, sliding his prick back and forth through her asshole and the soft sleeve it guarded. For all the resistance her pucker had put up to his entrance it sure made a show of keeping him in. As Harry buggered her bum May's sphincter clenched and unclenched repeatedly around his organ at various points of his back and forth motion. It felt especially delicious to the warrior to feel her ring of muscle grip the base of his tool when he was fully inside of her and then hold tight along his length as he withdrew. His inner thighs were pressed tightly against her outer thighs as he rocked his hips back and forth. His hands came up and grasped her soft tits which fit perfectly in his grasp. May's nipples were like small pebbles against his fingers and he made sure to pay them plenty of attention. Her gluts thanked him. When he released her mouth to grant her lungs breath May leaned her forehead against the wall and closed her eyes. The only sound that escaped her lips was a low tone mixing grunts and moans. He inhaled his aunt's womanly scent. Excitement coursed through his testicles and prick as he probed her dark depths. The mage released her right breast and reached down between May's spread thighs to cup her sex. His middle and ring finger slid into her juicy cunt and began rubbing at her soft folds while his thumb flicked occasionally against her clit. It was enough to excite May even further but not enough to send her over the edge.
May's mind was a mess of hormones while she was impaled on her nephew's prick. Everything she felt was magnitudes more intense. She ware aware of every bit of her skin that came into contact with his. She felt his hard lean muscles rubbing against her back. His hand toyed with her pussy with a practiced ease. His breathe was hot against her neck and right ear as he panted while pumping her ass. She felt his thick tool plunging in and out of her bowels reaming her open. The rectal massage was the most intense sensation May was experiencing while she was being sodomized. The skewered beauty rolled her hips and started pushing her butt back against the thrusts pushing into her bottom. A shockwave went through her lower half when her rump impacted against her lover's pelvis. A different type of shockwave went through the nerves in her lower half as her partner's in-stroke rubbed against the flesh surrounding his prick.
"Yes...ugh...yes," May growled between moans. "Pump your hot cock in my ass baby. Fill Aunt May's butt
460
with your throbbing dick. It feels sooo damn good!"
Harry leaned back and stared down at where his form was joined with May's. The sight of his tool disappearing in the crack of her ass between her bottom globes was intensely erotic. The feel of it was even more arousing. He removed his hands from her upper body and used his powers to simulate them still be there. His real hands came around and gripped her butt cheeks and pressed them together. May was a very fit woman. He felt her strong glut muscles flexing continuously in his grasp. As he butt fucked her the woman stuck to the wall pushed her rear back into his thrusts and squeezed down on his tool like she was trying to squeeze the life out of him. The smoldering heat of her digestive tract was powerful in its ability to draw his seed from his balls. He picked up speed until May's bottom was bouncing off of his groin. Her smooth skinned form shuddered with the impact of their union. May was gasping and couldn't hold her breathe for long. May's head tossed from side to side. Tension built in her belly, her lean abdominal muscled signaling to her she was close to climax.
"Fuck," May growled. "Cum in my ass baby...inject me full of your creamy load!"
Harry pressed himself fully inside of his aunt's colon and let loose with his seed. His prick pulsed a few times and then unleashed a torrent of hot cum into her grasping ass chute. May's rectal muscles quivered and went wild as she felt her pussy explode with her nectar. May's body went out of her control and she was hit with a flood of endorphins directly into her brain. May thrashed in ecstasy as she felt her man grind himself against her rump. He was filling her with his wonderful semen which she loved having inside of her. Her orgasm seemed never ending.
