Living for a long time was not all it was cracked up to be. Harry was bored. He thought back to all the adventures he had when he was younger and felt even more ancient than he was. Harry was several million years old. He spent most of his time between his family amongst the Greek gods and Gabriel in the world that fought demons and Chaos in the void. For the most part he was happy. His happiness was contributed by the fact that he had his family with him alive.

He turned his eyes to Chaos who was relaxing with his eyes closed on a plush patch of grass in the sun and said "I'm bored."

Chaos opened one eye and raised eyebrow as if to say '..And?'

Harry sighed and sat down next him wings stretching outwards and used them to support his back as he leaned backwards. Chaos got up from where he lay and said "Well I have a couple of worlds that need help if you are that bored."

It was a tribute to Harry's bored state that he was actually considering it. He didn't like the way Chaos had tricked him last time into helping out one of his worlds where he ended up with his powers blocked and nearly died a lot. At least this time he was being open about it. But then again he had not really done much in the past few millennia.

So in reply he said "On a few conditions, you do not temper with my powers in any way, you will not change my species again, and you will be open and honest with me about what I am getting into no half-truths that will shock me later."

Chaos actually laughed when he remembered turning Harry into an elfling and the trouble that ensued afterwards. He thought about the troubled worlds and realised that there would be no need for Harry to be kept in the dark to get things done so he consented to the conditions.

"That's fine, it's up to you which world you decide to go to. The first one is like your old world with witches and wizards they have their own version of you but he is not the chosen one in that world. The boy Neville Longbottom is. Your counterpart is supposed to play the part where he helps the chosen one by guiding him but he is too beaten down by his own family and friends. They all think him a squib as he has never had accidental magic and no wand would pick him when they took him to a wand maker. Truth is he has magic but it is fine-tuned and he learned to control it at early age so there was no accidental magic from him and as for the wands he does not have a core for the magic to be drawn from his magic flows throughout his body. It is changing him and not for the better. If he remains unchecked he is going to become the next dark lord and no-one in that world will be able to conquer him. He will be the most evil and most powerful of all the dark lords in their history. As well as the first to reach true immortality without splitting his soul like his predecessors…"

Chaos continued on to explain the next world "…The other world involves superheroes and gods. I believe it is the alternate of the world you have been to before. Only in this one the god of lies Loki is not the one to come through the portal with the tesseract it is Thanos. He manages to literally take over Loki's body and his spirit is dying."

Harry knew that Chaos wanted him to save both worlds because both would plunge into darkness without intervention. He had seen many worlds fall to darkness especially when he stopped being the go to boy for saving them eons ago. There was only so much saving a uy could take after the first couple of million times and it was even more frustrating for him when he knew that the mortals just kept repeating the same mistakes over and over without learning from them. That had been one of the reasons he had stopped rushing in to save them and left them to do it themselves.

He turned to Chaos and said "Okay which one is more of a priority?"

Harry found himself floating in space just above a barren looking planet that gave him the creeps, Chaos' voice fading away with the last of his instructions "Find Loki and save him before it is too late."

He could sense that there were creatures alive on the surface of the planet but only one seemed to in excruciating pain. Harry could feel the phantom pains from his empathic abilities and knew that Loki was in a lot of pain. He spread his wings and followed the connection of the pain he was feeling.

It was not long before he found what he was he looking for. There in front of him under a crevice was a beaten to a pulp Loki covered in blood with limbs looking like they were pointing at the wrong angle. Harry made sure his powers kept him invisible and from being sensed as well. Even though he knew the creatures could not kill him he was worried they would kill Loki if they knew he was there for him. Despite being the one in control of death he had promised Chaos he would not revive anyone without checking with him first. The creatures seemed to be done with whatever they had been doing to Loki because they left him lying there possibly to allow him to heal before they started up again. Harry didn't wait. He quickly picked up the unconscious Loki and took off back into space. As soon as he was far enough away to magically transport them both without being sensed by the mad titan he fire flashed them to earth.

Harry landed in a back alley in New York before realising he hadn't thought about where he was going to take Loki at least until he saw Stark tower in front of him. Using his creation powers he created wards around a small are close to the tower before increasing its size and created a building similar to the tower. No-one would be able to see it or enter it without his permission and he would be close enough to the avengers to watch them as well as stay in the middle of the action when it happened.

He entered the building he had just created with Loki still in his arms. It was a strange sight as Harry had not really changed much. He was still short and still had his effeminate looks. He flew upwards and through a window in the building and placed his burden on a bed in the first room he came to. He then proceeded to heal Loki of his injuries most of which made him cringe in sympathy. Every bone in his body was either broken or cracked, there were burns, holes, whip marks claw marks eventually he stopped taking stock of the injuries as it was upsetting him. He was forced to use his grace when he found different types of poisons in Loki's body but he was however relieved to find that the Titan had not begun to mess with Loki's head just yet. Questions came to mind about how long it was since he had been captured by the Chitauri and what was happening with the cube at that moment.

Harry was still standing there lost in his thoughts huge wings spread out behind him, he hadn't thought about hiding them when emerald green eyes opened saw him and a scream tore itself out of Loki's throat. He got up and threw himself in the corner of the room saying over and over "No, more, no more please."

Harry was brought out of his musings back to reality to see the frightened Loki with his knees pulled up tears down his face and incoherently begging. Harry slowly approached Loki and stopped before he was in his personal space and crouched down in front of him and said "You're gonna be okay Loki. They can't hurt you anymore. You are no longer with those creatures. You are safe."

Harry sat down next to Loki and said "I'm Harry by the way, you do not have to be afraid of me I will not hurt you. I brought here from the Chitauri and healed you. This place is your haven for as long as you want it. There are impenetrable wards around it when you feel better and your magic is fully returns you are welcome to come and go as you please. I was sent here to protect you and help you fight Thanos if he finds his way here."

At the mention of Thanos Loki squeaked and tried to fold into himself even more. Harry slowly placed an arm on his back in comfort and said "Loki, you don't have to be afraid of him anymore. He can't find you I have cloaked you from him and when he comes here he won't stand a chance."

By then Harry had both his arms around Loki trying to comfort him. Loki was stiff as board as he waited for the pain to come and when it didn't after a while he seemed to give up and slump against Harry no longer caring about what happened to him. Harry stroked his back like he would a distraught child and had the other hand running through Loki's hair. It was a while before he noticed that Loki was asleep and he put him back in the bed to rest.

Before leaving the room Harry cast a spell to let him know when Loki woke up before going to take a look at what his neighbours were doing.

Harry sat on the top floor of the building facing Stark tower. He waved his hand at the window and the images of the two people he recognised as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts came on the screen.

Loki had been asleep for the better part of two days and Harry didn't want to wake him. He fed him the ambrosia and nectar of the gods to help him gain his strength faster knowing it would not harm him he was an immortal.

He left his charge to return to keeping an eye on his neighbours when he noticed they seemed to be celebrating something as both were holding champagne glasses and flirting. It was short lived however when an agent arrived with the news about a stolen artefact that they needed Tony's help in getting it back. Harry remembered the Tessaract from his previous jaunt in a similar world to this one but it was so far away. At the time his only priority had been to find a way home. He remembered how much of a mess that version of Loki had been and how he had had to get Thanatos to fix it. He was much more experienced with mind control now it would not be difficult for him but he wondered if he was the best person to deal with Loki seeing as how detached from anyone that was not his family was. Loki needed someone who could care about him and take care of him not the clinical way Harry was going about it.

One thing that shocked him out his reverie was when he heard Loki's name being mentioned by the agent who was talking to Stark.

'The being who came through called himself Loki, and he mentioned something about a glorious purpose…"

Harry didn't wait for him to finish before fire flashing in front of Stark his girlfriend and the agent. He was furious that Thanos was still using Loki to cover his own trail and lead anyone trying to find him somewhere else. The only problem was that that somewhere else happened to be his charge and he was not having any of it.

In the time it took the agent to grab his gun and point it at Harry, he was already speaking. "Loki is not the one responsible for whatever happened to your little cube agent."

He waved his hand over Tony's computer and a picture of Thanos in all his purple glory came up on the screen. He continued to speak "I know this for a fact because I rescued Loki from Thanos two days ago and he has yet to awaken."

Tony was the one with the sense to ask "Who are you? And why should we believe you?"

Harry turned to the engineer who was still holding his champagne glass and said "I am Harry. I am an angel of Chaos. I was sent here to save Loki and help you fight Thanos. He is a titan and even if you had the whole of Asgard here to help you fight him it would not be enough. You do not possess the power needed to fight him let alone kill him. I am the only one with that power."

The agent was looking at Harry in disbelief and looked he wanted to fire the gun in his hand. Smirking Harry turned to him and said "Phil Coulson, you are usually much more together than that I am quite disappointed. Your counterpart in another world did not even blink an eye when he met me. If it will make you feel better you can fire that gun if you like it will do nothing to me."

Harry didn't have his wings out making him look more like a teen than usual and with the unusual gold white colouring at the tips of his hair he reminded the others in the room of the lord of the rings elves.

Tony was intrigued and asked "What's an angel of chaos? What does that actually mean?"

Turning back To Tony Harry said "We don't have time for a lessons right now. I want Loki's name cleared, he has been tortured by that monster for nearly a year before I found him. I will not allow it to turn him into some kind of terrorist."

He stopped as his spell let him know that Loki was waking up, then said "Loki is waking up I have to go check on him, I will see you later and tell Fury I will be visiting."

Before he could leave Tony grabbed his arm and said "I'm coming with you."

The protest of the other two were ignored Harry just took ahold of Tony's arm and flashed out with him. Tony was shocked when they arrived at their destination and saw it was identical to his tower. As they were facing the window when they arrived he saw the view of his tower from where he stood. He turned to ask the boy/man who had brought him here but found he was alone there. How was that possible? He would have noticed a tower similar to his especially as they were practically neighbours. He made his way around to see how much was copied. It creeped him out. So far every room he had entered was identical right down to the last chair. It wasn't until he called Jarvis that he was completey freaked out as the A I came online as if for the first time "Yes sir!"

Tony fell on his arse and said in reply "What? How?"

The A I replied "I am an artificial intelligence …."Tony cut in midway and said "That is not what I mean, how does he have my creation here in copycat of my tower?"

The A I replied "Master Harry merely copied your building and everything in it when he created this place two days ago."

Tony's mouth was hanging open and for the first time in his life he was speechless. Harry walked into the kitchen where Tony was now sitting on a stool. He stopped and looked at the shell shocked billionaire before he remembered he had made a copy of the man's home and then just left him before going to check on Loki.

Tony just looked at him waiting for an explanation.

Harry "I needed a safe place for Loki and I didn't have time to get creative and make something from the top of my head so I copied the first building I saw that was big enough to watch your tower because it's going to be at the centre of the action when things go south. Now I'm sorry I left you on your own it's probably kind of creepy for you right now. Harry waved his hand and change the rooms similar to his home with Gabriel when he visits him. It was a sleek modern space with ceramic tiles and a lot of glass and a metal Tony was sure he had never seen before.
