Nick and Harry… Tony, Run!
Nick Fury knows what he's seeing. It is rare to see someone like Tony because he is a constant contradiction of himself. Nick had been born in the mafia underworld, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is mostly made out of an even mix of mafioso and government officials for a reason. The reason he got out of the shadier side of the underworld, was only because of the Vindicare. He had still been young, not even 15 quite yet when the undead cops of the real underworld had asked him and a group of others and asked us to infiltrate the government. Nick was one of the few who wasn't discovered and had worked hard to move up the ladder so he could get to where he is now. And after taking over as the newest director, he had done his best to keep the others from finding out about Omerta. And then, he had met Howard Stark and Carrol Denver, and before he knew it, he had been dubbed as the godfather of one Anthony Stark. He still doesn't know exactly how, but he had, and it had terrified him. His only saving grace was the fact that Antony was interesting. He had the potential to be a great healer and nurturer, but he was a stubborn, and territorial nightmare, and that was as a mare 2-year-old infant.
Then time suddenly started passing by him, and suddenly, he had to deal with the stubborn brat becoming a teenager that hated his own father for never being there for him, and before anyone had realized it, Howard and Maria were gone, and Nick was forced to leave the teenager to his grief because there were rumors about a new assassin calling itself The Winter Solider and Nick needed to pin this person down before his godson could get hurt too.
It was how he met a paranoid bastard and saved the man from getting killed by a giant orange wolf, and in return learned about the magical world. Nick couldn't figure it out though and guessed that the magic also came from the soul, and was just manipulated differently than what he was used to hearing about as a young boy. "Mad-Eye Moody" had told him all about his world, and the two had shared a lot of stories over the years. That's how he figured out who the Winter soldier actually was, as Moody had threatened him to accept it as a dept for saving the 'Aurors' life. It was the first time Nick had come across the notion of life dept's and had agreed, but asked to not have his memories played around with either, and the two had agreed on those terms.
It was also where he learned of the upstart Voldemort, and his merry band of idiotic morons. And while Nick had been busy protecting his godson from afar, he had never noticed when the boy became a man, and from man to father, until after Tony had broken out of Afghanistan in a metal suit and declared to the world his new identity as Iron Man. Because apparently, Black Widow was related to witches and wizards, and Clint Barton was confused.
The day Nick met the green-eyed child for the first time, he had been tempted to tell his magical friend or curse someone himself… or maybe drown himself in alcohol, but then he found out about Ms. Petunia Dursley nee Evans, and he was suddenly ready to pay his friend to borrow some dragons to… No, that's too quick, maybe throw her into… Still too quick. Maybe he should get the Varia or the Vindicare onto the… family's case and leave it at that? Either way, Nick was willing to commit a murder on behalf of the boy and his new guardian, but one thing was for certain:
The little bird won't ever be caged by someone like the Dursleys again and will be natured by Nick's godson to learn to fly. Because his godson was worth it. And maybe, the day he reveals the truth behind Howard and Maria's deaths to Tony will come sooner than Nick had first anticipated?
Harry's pov:
The first time Hadrian met Nick Fury, was when he was taken to a burger joint when the pirate and miss Natalie had shown up. The look in his eyes had scared Hadrian until papa Tony stepped in and told the pirate wannabe about Had- no, about the Dursley's treatment of Hadrian, and the look of pure fury took over. Hadrian is proud to say he did not get scared, until a day later, when the Pirate came back with someone with a scary eye calling himself Mood. Mood told Hadrian, uncle James, and Tony about Magic. Uncle James revealed that he could do magic as well until an accident had destroyed his… what is a Core? The thing fishes swim in, out in the sea? James said I would understand when I grow older, but apparently, he was hurt badly as a child and lost the ability to man… control magic. Tony seemed hurt for a while for some reason, but apparently, he was just sad James had not said anything until then until James said he could get his… Sold? Su…What? Apparently, James would be thrown into a scary prison where some strange robed ghosts that made you remember your worst memories over and over again could do… something that is quite hurtful to James if he had revealed it sooner. Hadrian wished he was older so he could figure out properly what a deme- Demo- Whatever they were talking about better because he doesn't think uncle James is good at explaining things to him yet.
And maybe, Hadrian would finally figure out more about his past, because all mister Mood would say was that I should be careful who I trust because people are selfish and that they could be using me to get to my in-her-it-an-se and to be careful of what I choose to do. What is Cost-ant Vigil-ante anyway?
