"Great," Harry sighed. "my relationship with Nat is probably fucked beyond all repair now my dog's mad at me." Harry continued eating, once he was done his phone rang. "Yeah?" Harry answered.
"Mr Potter," Nick Fury's voice spoke, surprising Harry slightly since he rarely ever spoke to Fury, for the most part he spoke to either Agent Coulson or Agent Hill about missions. "are you busy?"
"Not really." Harry said with a small shrug, even if Fury couldn't see it.
"Good," Fury replied. "we have something that would probably go a lot easier with your help."
"What is it?"
"Have you ever heard of Captain America?"
"You mean the WW2 hero famous for fighting against Nazi Germany? Has had many books written about him? His own sections in museums? The super soldier who crashed a plane into ice and has never been seen since?"
"Yes."
"Never heard of him."
"Ha ha, very funny," Fury said with a fake laugh. "now are you finished being a smart ass?"
"It's a full time job but I will restrain myself for now." Harry replied.
"Good, because we found him." Fury said.
"I'm sorry but are you trying to tell me that you found Captain bloody America?" Harry asked incredulously.
"That is exactly what I am telling you."
"Are Coulson's pants still dry?" Harry asked, knowing that the man was a massive Captain America fan. "Is he still alive? I'm pretty sure that hearing Captain America is alive would cause some kind of major reaction."
"Shut it, now the Captain is currently in a block of ice, I was hoping that you could help get him out of the ice with magic."
"It sounds doable," Harry said after a moment of thinking. "when would you like it done?"
"As soon as possible." Fury answered.
"Give me an address and a minute and I'll teleport over."
.....
"Fucking hell." Harry whispered when he looked at the frozen form of Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America. Fury had managed to get everyone out of the room apart from himself and Coulson.
"Can you get him out safely?" Director Fury asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, that shouldn't be a problem." Harry said dismissively. "Still, it would be a miracle if this guy is still alive."
"If he is then I reckon the super soldier serum would definitely have helped." Coulson replied.
"Probably," Harry nodded before he pulled out his wand. "alright you two back up."
"Why?" Coulson asked.
"Because the last thing this dude needs to see when he wakes up is a fanboy or a scary looking pirate." Harry said as he began waving his wand, Fury glared at him but he and Coulson stepped back. About twenty seconds later the ice had melted away, Harry quickly vanished the water before he looked at Captain America. He was wearing brown gloves and boots, he also wore a suit that was clearly inspired by the American flag, he much like Thor was an 'annoyingly good looking' blonde. "Did you guys find that shield of his?" Harry asked as he began waving his wand over the Captain's body, the two men knew that Harry was clearly referring to the supposedly indestructible shield that Captain America was supposed to possess.
"Yeah, we did," Fury nodded. "why do you ask?"
"Because he may want it back when he wakes up." Harry said after he had finished casting his spells. "He is alive, pretty healthy as well, he'll probably be a bit hungry and tired when he wakes up but apart from that he will be fine. You want me to wake him up now?" Harry asked as he raised his wand. "Personally I think he has done enough sleeping."
"I don't know if this is exactly the right environment to wake him up in," Fury commented as he looked around the room. "we'll move him somewhere comfortable first."
"Fine, but If I may offer a suggestion, be upfront with him. Because if I was in his situation and woke up with people I thought were being dishonest then I'd probably try and hurt you."
.....
Harry sat on a chair that was positioned at the end of the bed that Steve Rogers AKA Captain America was sleeping on, his Captain America outfit had been replaced with brown trousers and a white shirt. They were both currently in a medical room at a Shield facility, Coulson and Fury had originally wanted to build a room similar to a hospital rooms from the time where the Captain came from but Harry had shot that idea down and insisted that they just keep things as honest and simple as possible.
Harry's wand flicked into his hand, he pointed it at the Captain and sent a spell to wake him before he got rid of his wand. Steve Rogers jumped to a sitting position, his eyes were wide and he had quickly begun looking around the room to see where he was, eventually his eyes stopped on Harry and narrowed slightly.
"Who are you? And where am I?" He asked quickly.
"You can call me Harry." Harry replied, just glad that the Captain was not a 'attack first and ask questions later' type of guy. He was also a bit surprised that the man had not commented on his hair yet but knew that it would probably come up eventually.
"British?" He guessed.
"Let me guess, the accent?" Harry asked, Steve nodded in response. "Alright, well Captain, may I call you Steve?" Steve nodded though Harry could tell that the man was ready to attack him if he felt threatened. "What is the last thing you remember?"
"I… I was in a plane, and I crashed into the ice." Steve frowned.
"Yeah, that's about right," Harry sighed. "well you were in that ice for a long time."
"How long?" Steve asked quickly. "And where am I?"
"You're at a Shield base."
"Shield?"
"It stands for 'Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division'."
"That's a bit of a mouthful." Steve commented.
"Indeed," Harry nodded "Shield was founded after the SSR defeated Hydra, it was formed in the 1950's by three people you more than likely know." Harry said, noticing Steve pick up on the fact that he was at least in the 50s. "The three founders are Chester Phillips, Howard Stark and Peggy Carter." It was hard for Harry to not notice the look of recognition Steve had every time Harry mentioned a name. "As for how long you have been in that ice, well the answer is about 70 years or so."
"70?! You're saying I have been frozen for about 70 years?!" Steve blurted out in shock.
"Give or take." Harry nodded. "You've missed a lot."
"That… that's a lot to take in," Steve said. "I… I had a date." He added, more to himself.
"Yeah…" Harry wasn't really sure to handle this so decided to instead settle on a classic British method of cheering Steve up. "sorry about that I guess… do you want some tea?" Harry offered.
.....
"Wow." Steve said in a quiet voice as he walked alongside Harry. Harry had managed to convince Fury to let him take Steve out to see the world, though he had to promise to bring him back after. When Steve wasn't looking Harry had waved his wand and created some clothes for him. Which was why Steve was wearing black trainers, blue jeans, a white shirt and a black jacket, Harry wore the same except with a grey shirt. Harry could tell that Steve found the clothes interesting or at least very different from what he was used to.
"Let me guess, not the same as your time." Harry said when he saw Steve looking around.
"Nope," Steve shook his head. "definitely not."
"I can't say anything about your time but I will assume that the food is probably better now. There have been plenty of advances in food, clothes, technology and just about any and everything else." Harry replied. "Come on, I reckon that you are probably hungry, we'll go get something to eat." Harry said before he began walking towards a chip shop.
"I don't have any money." Steve said as he followed Harry.
"Naturally, you were frozen in ice for 70 years, I am still surprised you have functioning organs." Harry replied. "Today's on me, what do you want to eat?" Harry asked as they entered the shop.
"I don't really know, surprise me." Steve replied.
"Fine, go take a seat. I'll be back in a sec with the food." Harry said before he left to go buy food. He returned a few minutes later with a tray which he placed down on the table, he sat opposite Steve. "Burger and chips for me, same for you. Try it out."
"Okay," Steve said as he took his burger and took a bite, he let out very pleased noise before he could stop himself. "wow, that's good!"
"Glad you like it." Harry smirked before he started eating as well. Harry stayed silent, wondering if Steve was going to say anything but Steve decided to focus on his food so Harry did the same. A short while later both had finished and left the shop.
"That was great." Steve said as the two walked together.
