AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hello Miraculers! As my next story, I decided to take a step out of the creative writing scene and take a challenge instead! It's called Harry Potter and the Infinity Gauntlet Challenge by DarkseidAlex if you wanted to check him out! Without further ado, let us begin!
One thing to note that is VERY IMPORTANT is that the Soul Stone and the Time Stone have SWITCHED PLACES. This means that the Soul Stone is with Doctor Strange and the Time Stone is with the 'Stonekeeper'
Additionally, there will be minor Infinity War spoilers later down the track.
All rights go to their respective owners. I don't own Marvel, Disney does, (I think)
Power. Glory. Wealth. Three things that were so similar, they may as well be brothers. I wanted power once, albeit subconsciously, to wield the stones was power, to be the Guardian of All Worlds. My quest brought me fulfilment, it brought me a purpose. Perhaps if that bloody wormhole hadn't have shown up on that fateful day, he could've been an innocent child, eventually go to Hogwarts, graduate (which I never got to do) and maybe, just maybe the world wouldn't have known me as the new Mad Titan, maybe they could've known me as the Boy who beat Lord Voldemort, or the boy that had the strongest magical powers in England, though perhaps that could've been Strange's tricks, or the power of the Infinity Stones. Maybe I wouln't be the one who watched the world burn.
Surrey, England, 2:03 pm
It wasn't fair, Harry decided, a real magical superhero, Thor, the news dubbed him was fighting a villain in Greenwich, and he wasn't even allowed to watch it! His aunt and uncle had forbidden it and he was sent outside with the door locked for even suggesting it. Now, Harry walked to the swing set that he had grown to love yet hate so much, and sat down, glum. He pondered about what he would do if he were a superhero.
'I would rule the world!'
After a few minutes day-dreaming on the adventures of Super Harry. The air around him became chilly, chillier than the classic English weather.
What happened next was unbelievable, the space in front of him went very blurry then turned into a window, of sorts. His jaw was open looking at the weird glowing portal thing. Harry reached his hand inside in curiosity, and the wormhole proceeded to pull him in, with Harry letting out a small 'yelp!'
?, Somewhere in Space, ?
He fell face first on a cold metallic floor. He got up and looked through his glasses, the famous Harry luck had struck again, they were cracked, badly. He took them off and put them in his pocket, but he had to be careful not to drop them through the holes that aligned his pathetic baggy trousers. He walked through the colossal passageway.
'Why are the hallways so big?' Harry thought to himself,
He proceeded in confusion, trying to make sense of his blurry surroundings. Eventually, after what seemed like forever walking, there was an opened door to his left, only it was giant-sized, which was peculiar to young Harry.
He almost screamed when he heard loud booming voices come from the doorway, he could only see HUGE people walking right for him, and they hadn't noticed Harry! He quickly ran to the side of the doorframe, and the giants walked by, still talking with each other.
'Where am I? Is this the place that Uncle Vernon always talks about that I would go to? Hell?'
Pondering this thought, he continued through the doorway, now that it was empty. What lied before Harry was truly awe-inspiring. A pedestal made of gold, silver, bronze, and other unidentified metals made up it, the object on top of it was perhaps even more so.
A colossal gauntlet, shining in a golden radiance. Even with his lack of clarity in his vision, this artefact was somehow as clear as day to the young child. He wanted to see it or touch it more than anything else at that moment. His will responded to him, and what happened next was a case of an accidental apparition that was simply extraordinary in distance, judging by the height of the pedestal. He appeared with a tiny crack before the gauntlet, he walked up to it slowly and touched it.
That's when all hell broke loose.
Firstly, the gauntlet shrunk to fit Harry's small hand and equip itself to him, secondly, blaring alarms sounded drawing the giants from all over. Harry was looking around in fear, he only wanted to touch it, because it was so awesome… Now he was going to get in lots of trouble.
A familiar chill hit Harry as a familiar glowing ring appeared in front of him,
'Ok, let's go!'
He got yanked in the portal as he ran into it and wound up on a desolate place.
The little boy was met with a wraith, who, upon seeing the Infinity Gauntlet, proclaimed to himself,
"Truly, one so young…"
"Who are you mister?" The innocent child asked,
"That's not important, how did you end up here little one?"
"A big blue ring came, and I walked through it and found this," he replied, referring to the golden gauntlet,
"Hmm…" The spirit hummed,
"I wanna go home, can you get me home?" Harry asked in childlike innocence,
"Where is your home little one?"
"Aunt Petunia said I shouldn't tell anyone, because it means I live with them,"
The spirit simply shook its head and replied,
"you can tell me, I won't care,"
After a few seconds of Harry looking at the wraith in childish curiosity, he spoke "Surrey, 4 Privet Drive,"
'Sounds like an address from Earth. So, Midgard then, my former home. That is a fair distance, I wasn't aware that the Convergence would cause this much issues… To get him home, I'll have to give the child my stone for the power to travel back to Midgard, but there's no way to retrieve it. Then, I'll have to give the
child the stone and hope he doesn't abuse its powers'
He handed to Harry a green stone, which flew to the gauntlet and fit in one of the slots.
"et terra onerariis hominum" The wraith intoned, and the stone flashed before everything went white.
Surrey, England, 5:13 pm
Harry fell back where he was transported, his favourite swing set.
Harry looked at a nearby clock and saw that he had been gone for over 3 hours! Not that his aunt or uncle would care anyway.
Harry went inside 4 Privet Drive and saw his uncle watching some game show.
"Your chores haven't been done, boy! Off to the room with-" Vernon stopped when his eyes landed on the golden gauntlet around Harry's hand.
Vernon became blinded by greed. "Give me the glove boy, or you'll get the biggest stay in your room ever! Who knows how long you'll survive!" Vernon cackled,
"No! It's mine, I can't let you!" Harry exclaimed,
"Then I'll just take it! A pathetic freakish boy like you doesn't deserve a treasure like this!"
Vernon lunged at Harry with a surprising speed, considering his size.
"No! Stop!" The gauntlet acted on Harry's will and Vernon became frozen in mid-air,
Harry gasped in surprise and walked around Vernon, looking at any sign of why he was frozen. His face was still red-purple like it always was, his meaty hands looked ready to strangle someone, like him.
'Did you do this?' He looked at the gauntlet, it flashed a bright green. Harry looked back at Vernon in shock.
