(A/N) Welcome to part 2 of projects that never saw the light of day!  There are seven chapters of this I am going to share on Friday or Saturday every week and then I will share my Game of Thrones, Avatar, and maybe one other surprise.  After I have shared all 4 or 5 projects I will put it to a vote on which story you would all like to see more of.  This will remain a side project to Dreams of Home, and there will be no consistent update, but whatever everyone likes the most will be happening in the background.  So sit back and enjoy, cheers!

Chapter 1

“Something has to be done.  My contacts with SHIELD say that the threat is unlike anything they have ever faced, and without magical intervention it could be the end of our world.”

Algernon Croaker was pleading and begging with the International Confederation of Wizards, or the ICW for short, to send some relief to the States in their time of inevitable need.  He had been working for MACUSA over the duration of nearly thirteen years, and he had built quite a name for himself as an unspeakable in the States.  Enough that he had risen to the head of the department for MACUSA, and was even able to bring his nephew into the fold with him just 3 years ago when the downfall of Voldemort had finally happened.  With the lad’s incredible credentials MACUSA was practically salivating at the mouth to get one of the war heroes of what was left of Magical Britain, Neville Longbottom.

Algernon had the floor so he continued, “Yesterday an unknown enemy stepped through a doorway from space into a muggle secret intelligence base, and…well this is all the footage we have.”

An image of a tall white male in a dark green outfit filled up a projector screen that was on display in front of the Confederation. The man looked like any regular muggle in basic appearance, but the weapon he was holding was screaming some type of powerful magic.  The scepter was over six feet long and held the most fascinating power source on the end of the weapon, and the way it fired off rays of death and destruction into the muggle base made some question if a Protego or any magical shield would stop such a powerful blast.  The battle was short, and it was brutal.  Half were killed by this unknown assailant in mere seconds.  This invader identified himself as Loki and a God of Asgard who had come to squash the world and make it his own.  Some of the survivors were barely touched by the scepter and yet these men and women immediately turned on their friends and coworkers.  This caused the most mumbling from the audience chamber.  The scepter seemed to work a lot like the imperius curse.  The video ended with the building collapsing and a short resistance breaking out after the man’s escape.

Silence fell throughout the chamber, many thinking deeply on what they had just bare witnessed too. “What would you have us do?  Break the international statute of secrecy all on a whim of your muggle contacts?  This man does not seem magical in origin and I do not yet see him as our problem.  A snap of our fingers and we could have this man exterminated by some of the best Hit Wizards in the world!” Supreme Mugwump Akingbade of South Africa exclaimed.

Algernon shook his head, “Sir Nick Fury has been a close friend of mine and to MACUSA for over 30 years.  He helped cover the massive disaster in 85 when the lethifold outbreak happened on the east coast.  The man swallowed a lot of heat for us that day, and kept the international statute of secrecy intact.  That day he swore that he would never reveal our people.  He strongly believed the world was not yet ready for that knowledge.  For him to ask for our help must mean he is very desperate if he is willing to risk exposure.  Nick Fury is no fool; he knows what this could mean.  Also, while I agree with you that some of our finest Hit Wizards could take this man on, how would we feel if he brought an army through this gateway next time?”

Whispers broke out through the chamber.  The statement that an army could come through a wormhole in outer space was preposterous to most of these people.  The other whispers were of the lethifold disasters.  Many good witches and wizards died that day, and that would be one disaster no one would have trouble remembering.  It was almost exposure that day, and had Nick Fury not stepped up and helped cover it up it could have meant war for all Wizards.  Algernon put his hands up, “I am not suggesting that we all come out and do battle, but perhaps a small team or even a one man army.  Someone of great Wizarding skill could tip the tides of a battle.  With all the strange things happening in America I do believe if we sent someone to intervene or assist that they would be written off as just another enhanced individual.  I would like to submit some videos taken by our Aurors and show you just what I mean.”

With a flick of his wrist the projector in front of him started playing new videos, but this time Algernon had to power the ruins to keep stability.  The anxiety in the room was causing a buzzing of nervous magical energy and the minor outburst was effecting the technological wonder, “This is only for those who have been…let’s call it behind times about what has been going on in the States recently.”

As soon as the TV turned on a powerful roar echoed across the chamber.  A great green beast of at least 8 feet in height and muscles that would have made bodybuilders look tiny was shown hopping from rooftop to rooftop reeking shear devastation to New York City, and apparently fighting a creature that was just as frightening.  The spikes on the albino creature however were a lot more menacing, and looked almost demonic compared to the angry green monster, “What are those abominations?” A senior delegate from Germany demanded.

Algernon gave the man a small smile, “Interesting you should ask.  The albino creature is exactly what you called it, an abomination.  The green creature however is one of the premier minds in gamma radiation in the muggle world.  He got his…affliction during a muggle science experiment attempting to discover ways to create super soldiers.  This man turns into this big green hulk-like creature when he loses control of his temper.  The man and the monster are not connected in anything but shared bodies.  Dr. Banner is currently unable to control the monster once his rage is met, but it is the belief of my department and of SHIELD that his mind can be used in a possible coming conflict, and in the event of an invasion he could also be quite valuable in combat as the other guy.”

The next video began and a metal man was flying over Los Angeles having some type of aerial fire fight with a much larger metal man.  The video skipped to where the Man of metal was fighting many other metal machines.  The technology this man wielded was clearly baffling most of the ICW delegates, and even Algernon was lost watching the man.  It took him a while to explain, “They call this the Iron Man.  The man underneath the armor is just a normal muggle with a lot of heart, brains, and money.  He puts on this magnificent array of armor and weapons and defends his cities, and possibly even some of yours.  I know he has done much to get rid of terrorist cells in the Middle East, and even across European Nations.  This man is Tony Stark. They call him a genius, and most of the technology on his suit does not even exist yet in the muggle world, he invented a lot of it.  Of course, the man is not without fault.”

A YouTube video started playing for the Wizards gathered and it showed a drunken Iron Man in his house dancing in his suit and blasting fruit with the power of his thrusters.  Many scoffed at the man making a fool of himself and abusing the power of his suit, but none openly protested, “The man was apparently suffering from a fatal muggle disease that he invented a cure for himself.”

The next video started and a large man stepped onto the screen and began whirling a small hammer around and did amazing amounts of destruction to another large metal man that was seemingly blasting a small town to ashes, “We don’t have a lot of information on this individual case.  This is Thor Odinson of Asgard; he claims to be the god of Thunder, and with his display of power we are inclined to believe him.”

The man was now standing in the middle of a vortex that resembled a tornado, but the storm had come from nowhere and it was clear to all who were watching the video that the tall muscled man with long blonde hair was somehow controlling this storm.  What followed was a magnificent battle between man and machine, and the cloaked God of Thunder became victorious when he made the machine nearly swallow his hammer.

Algernon cleared his throat to gather the attention of the stunned audience, “This man declared himself to be an ally of SHIELD, as a friend and protector of Earth.  He is clearly powerful and it is our current intelligence that tells us the man that will be bringing this supposed invasion to Earth is his estranged brother.  We don’t currently have the whereabouts of this man, but we believe with his brother making an appearance, he will shortly follow.”

The next video started and Algernon smiled, “This man is a legend from the times of my childhood.”

A star-spangled man was fighting with impressive hand to hand combat skills taking down many enemies in groups and sections.  The man wore the red, white, and blue iconic uniform, and carried a shield that seemed just as magical as many weapons that those in the chamber had witnessed.  It always seemed to come back to him, and the things the man was doing with the shield were unbelievable.  It was clear the man was fast, powerful, and incredibly skilled, “They call this man Captain America.  He was frozen in the ice for nearly 70 years.  During the war with Grindelwald this muggle led the American army across the European front chasing the group Hydra.  Grindelwald himself associated with this group searching for an unknown powerful item that he thought he would be able to defeat Albus Dumbledore with.  Captain America defeated this group with a team of strong-willed Americans and was lost to us saving millions of lives from muggle weapons of mass destruction.  SHIELD is pulling for this man to lead the response team to an invasion.”

Algernon took off his glasses, “We need to support this group.  If the world can accept these muggles of extraordinary power and be okay with it, I think they can also accept a powerful magical individual or a small team.”

The Supreme Mugwump looked around the chamber seeing many weary faces, “A team you say?  Who would be on this team?  Do you have suggestions?”

Algernon smiled at this, “I do have some suggestions.  My nephew Neville has volunteered to be on this response team.”

The man at the head of the council chambers seemed to think for a moment before shaking his head, “Neville is a powerful young wizard, and I enjoy my talks with him when he takes part in this assembly, but I would like to hear other suggestions to this.  I think we should only send one wizard to this response team.  Are you willing to send your Nephew into this dangerous situation of what could turn into an invasion with no backup?  While I do have faith in the boy, I do not think he has the power or the skills to participate in such a group of extraordinary individuals.”

Algernon backed down on this, and silence enveloped the room for a moment.  The Supreme Mugwump stared at the man intently and then had a thought, “If you want to send a British born into battle on American Soil don’t you think you should send the best?”

This caused many whispers around the room.  Algernon was smirking internally.  When he was in Hogwarts as a boy he was a Slytherin’s Slytherin, one of the best of the best, and his plan to get Harry Potter out of his hiding hole might just come to fruition after all, “Mr. Potter is who I presume you are talking about, and the man has fought enough wars in his life time.  The only reason we all stand here today is because Potter spent 10 years fighting the Dark Lord, and lost nearly everything doing it.  To ask him of this-”

The head of the ICW interrupted, “Wizarding Britain is extinct.  I have been a fairly regular correspondent with the boy over the last 3 years since the fall of his Dark Lord, and this could be exactly what he needs.  The war changed him, and he is undoubtedly one of the most powerful among us.  He is used to taking orders, and giving them depending on the situation.  This could be a chance at a fresh start for young Mr. Potter.  Merlin knows I have tried to convince him to join this body, and be the leader of Magical Britain, but he is firmly in the belief that the country will never recover, and from some of the reports I have been getting I believe he may be right.”  The man paused, took a drink of water, and let the Confederation of Wizards listen with baited breath, “We could even have him reporting to Neville Longbottom to get him to open up to the idea.  Mr. Potter is still if I recall on very good terms with your nephew, and if we were to explain to him that our interference would be limited, and that his only responsibility to us would be to pass on intelligence I think he could be swayed.  The Potter Lord does not like politics much, and I believe if we forced him in front of us, and tried to get him to do reports to us he would say no.  However, I do believe if we are going to do this he is the best man for the job if we give him few restrictions.”

Algernon asked, “But if Magical Britain were to one day recover-“

“Magical Britain is nothing, but a relic of the past.  The Dark Lord saw to it that nothing was standing of the society when he was done.  It cost one of our oldest societies everything it held dear.  Not even Gringotts was standing by the time the war was over..” The man said sadly.

The former Brit however continued to argue, “Potter won’t go on a suicide mission.  We can’t just send him in with nothing.”

A delegate from the United States then stood up, “If things were to truly go to an unrecoverable state of disaster then he could request the aid of this body, and we could deliver the magical forces of the world to his doorstep.  Perhaps to even sweeten the deal we tell him he could lead this Wizarding army if the need were to ever arise.”

Algernon nodded his head to the man in agreement, “That could be agreeable.  Mr. Potter knows how important the international statute of secrecy is.  I believe he would be a reliable person to make that call.  Of course, with oversight from Mr. Longbottom and the other Unspeakables in MACUSA.”

Another man from the Canadian region stood up, “What of introducing him to the Sorceress Supreme and starting an alliance there.  The boy is currently wielding the Death stick and her the most powerful magical artifacts in existence.  That is not even to mention the fact that she is training some very powerful sorcerers of the old religion.  Perhaps an alliance with the Ancient One could even be sought out once again?”

Algernon nearly jumped at the idea, “A splendid idea, honorable representatives perhaps this isn’t something we could do right away but over a period of time, and several meetings between the two this could be a possibility.”

The Supreme Mugwump stroked his beard gently thinking over the implications of this.  Usually a controversial intervention on behalf of the ICW would take months of debating, and possibly a year before anything went into effect, but he was thinking everyone in the room could see just how desperate the situation could become, and with the war Hero Harry Potter possibly leading the charge on the matter…this could be a historic moment if this were all to come to fruition.  Adding on to the possibilities this could lead to renewing ties between the Wizarding World and the Sorcerer’s. There was a time when the two beings worked together instead of just coexisting, and many magical artifacts had been lost to the sanctums due to old rivalries and grudges.  If anyone could be powerful enough to show the Sorceress Supreme that wizards could be brought back into the fold it would be Harry Potter.

The man banged his gavel on the desk and said, “Chief Unspeakable Longbottom I am commanding that you and your Nephew go search out and speak to Mr. Potter and see what you can do to convince him of joining this team of muggles to possibly combat an invasion.  I am afraid we are short on time, and this needs to be done today if possible.”

Algernon bowed before the conference of wizards, “It shall be done immediately my Lord.”

The man smiled as he walked away from the ICW chambers.  He could just not wait to deliver the news to his nephew.  He could only hope that Mr. Potter would be willing to curve to the ICW requests.
