Chapter 2
"Well, my comrades here summoned me when you arrived brought by young peter of all people, you see, the last magic user they encountered had a similar air to him that you had, my brother Loki, though some here got off on the wrong foot with him as he was being controlled at the time." the blonde man spoke in a slow tone.
Harry looked at the "god" before him, he knew the people of Asgard had an understanding with his people in his dimension but he did not know if the same held here. so for now he merely nodded at the man not knowing how far his powers spread.
Peters phone was a constant buzz in his pocket now he was back in the tower, the sound seemed to confuse Hadrian, of course, it would, hell if what he said was true then it wasn't really a thing for him.
Hell, if the guy was planning to stay here they would have to give him a fake identity and everything and given peter was like the first person he spoke to it would make sense for them to hang out and if any of peters fans found them hanging out together it would look really odd if the guy had no presence on the internet.
"Right, death kid, peter, you're with me, were off down to the lab to find out more about if what this one says is true, because dealing with what we've dealt with before it's not that far fetched, to be honest," Tony spoke in a quick stern tone, he was tired, but at the end of the day, he would rather deal with this then let shield get wind of it. War hero of a different dimension or not, this kid was weird, not human, and probably someone they would rather have on their side.
----------
The trio walked out of the elevator, into a messy yet high-tech mechanics workshop, with a worn leather couch and the strong smell of coffee, oil and burning metal parts. Rubbing his face as he looked at the two young men in that both stood idle in the room, he slumped into a chair that had been pushed in his direction by one of the many robots.
"So, Hadrian, Harry I can call you Harry right? Harry, you don't exist, here which is gonna cause problems because I think even where you are from people just don't show up.
Now not sure if you noticed mini death but were a bit more advanced than the '90s around here and if you're planning on sticking around. In the public view and not, going and hiding off into some tiny little village or a cave." The engineer laughed to himself " Well then we need to make you look like a real person, lucky whatever you managed to do to run into little Pete here he brought you to the right place rather than going into a weird panic state and hiding from everyone."
The genius began pulling up different things to make fake passports, licenses, he led harry over to a blank wall and got pictures taken which Jarvis then managed to photoshop to make him look like he hadn't crawled out of a grave.
The two boys had found themself on the couch during this process answering whatever random questions tony threw at them to make harry seem like a real person.
Simple things really, oh do you know where your family was from?. Where did you spend the majority of your teens? I can't place that accent.
"Scotland my school was there but I don't think any of us picked up the accent with it being a boarding school. I was raised in the south of England, my birth family was originally more northern. Not that it really matters, death for some reason has like a weird Scandinavian Italian mix to him, and I look more like death now than any of my human family."
It was weird to harry, to be able to mention death so calmly to a living person who didn't seem to blink an eye.
"Well good to know, it would be weird to make you out as a part of a family who died when the genetics don't even match up."
Harry smiled, and with a slight shake of his head changed himself to look 5'10 with honey blonde hair and blue eyes.
"oh sir, I'm magic, if it makes your life easier I can be anyone I have to be in a mere moment" he spoke in a light Irish accent.
Smoothing a hand through his hair, and going back to his natural appearance.
' Yeah tony knew he was right, this dimension-hopping wizard could be an amazing asset to have on their side. that was too good a power to let fall into the wrong hands and if he wasn't already set on helping the guy that would have made his mind up there and then, now tony might be selfish but most of the time but he is not stupid, he knows when something or in this case someone is too good to pass up. '
"oh I do have a request though, even back in my world, I was an adult, I don't wanna go through school again and I can imagine it would be a pain to buy smokes if my ID said I was a kid, " he asked, raising an eyebrow at the man.
"ahh okay, we'll make you that age means you won't have to worry because trying to go through our schooling system. Oh and don't worry with that face of yours and how you hold yourself I would never be able to pass you off as a teen, tattoos regardless."
They made him an age where it would both make sense for him to have seen some shit, a fucked up childhood here, a toss through the system there, wouldn't do all too well for him to get into trouble for his tattoos and smoking habit by being too young to do them because fo a fake ID that would help non of them.
Also, it would just bring up more questions than it would be worth. He implanted harry into the system, by the time he was finished it would look like he had always been there.
Creating homeschooling records and a fake background, making him family to the right people who had died at the right time and have the right kind of genetics.
He laid trails through the system making it seem logical for anyone who dared to look deeper than just a quick overview, and if Harry was going to be seen in the tower.
He knew SHEILD would be a pain the ass and do more than just a quick skim of whatever background check they did. He knew what they did to Peter and anyone else he had brought into the building since shield decided he was important to their plans, it was basically an invasion of privacy, and if there was anything tony was good at it was pissing off SHEILD.
Tony watched as the magic-user, walked over to his little hidden balcony attached to the mechanic's area of the lab to give himself some air after he had been tampering with one gadget or another.
Pulling a cigarette, that looked nothing like the ones he had seen in America out of his pocket.
Getting Jarvis to run a scan of it, it seemed to be similar to some discontinued brand from England.
He watched as it was lit with a flame from the young man's finger. Luckily this time, Jarvis was still scanning and was able to pick up some of the energy signals from the 'magic'.
Storing it to be gone over later when tony inevitably asks how the magic worked.
As Harry took a drag and breathed in the astringent smoke escaped out of his nose and mouth as he asked. "So what else makes this world what it is, heroes and avengers? and all this technology?"
Long skeletal fingers flicked the ash off the end, it falling over the balcony edge as it got caught up in the wind and carried away.
Peter and Tony looked at each other and then to Harry with a sigh, "To be honest, it would be easier to show rather than tell on this one" the elder man pulling a screen into view.
"JARVIS? Think you could give us a hand here, we need a crash course on history, from around world war 2 onwards, that's when 'heroes' really started up".
"Huh" harry interrupted "That is odd, that's when the first wizarding war started for us as well, some evil wizard teamed up with the nazis".
"Well, in our world, less a wizard more space magic and a crazy guy and an evil organisation" tony quipped back.
"Evil organisations in the background of the nazis seem to be something our worlds share then" the smoker replied, still dragging on the burning stick.
The Screen lit up between the three, " Of course, sir, would you like a modified version of the video shown to the "grandfathers" with the addition of more recent events and a recap of ww2 events?" JARVIS offered in a bored tone.
"Sure JARVIS, do us a favour bud add in a few more modern events to fill in on the tech stuff and social things that have happened, this ones not got the excuse of the capsule" Tony laughed as he mentioned the nickname.
"Yes sir" the AI responded as the video played, running over what had happened in the last few decades, and adding in all of the information they currently had on "heroes" more so than normal public knowledge but tony thought well, it's only fair he gets a bit more knowledge now then be shocked later.
--------
"Well, that was certainly something!" Harry finally spoke, his throat dry after watching a crash course on history, that was so much different yet at the same time so similar to that of his own dimension.
It was a lot to think over, it finally sinking in, in a way the type of world he had ended up in, just as messed up in ways as his own, but in this world, technology was so much more advanced.
He wondered if it was due to the lack of magical presence in the world. Or the influence from those of different planets of aliens so to say. Though to them really he was just as much as an alien as the Norse were.
Not of this world, holding unhuman powers, claiming to be the son of death of all things.
Oh, how he wanted to go upstairs and talk more of the Norse of this world with the so-called 'thor'.
He wanted to talk to his niece Hel, to find if she was the same as in his world, a student or employee so to say of his father. Though is the master of death title he had been bestowed technically his servant, he wondered if his title heald weight here, something in his magic and the feeling of death in this world told him that it did.
