Fury was frowning, not because he was angry or even upset, but because he was deep in thought. He was sat behind his desk in his office with his fingers steepled and pressed against his mouth. The only sign of movement from him was blinking and the occasional twitch in the right corner of his lips. The reason for Fury's deep thinking was one 'Harry Potter'.

All of the research into the man confirmed that Agent Romanoff was right when she said that things did not add up. An orphan boy found outside an orphanage with tattoos but no known relatives yet is somehow able to become rich enough to move to America and live comfortably without any job at all. Then Barton, despite being Shield's best tracker, managed to lose Mr Potter.

According to Barton it was probably because of the hostage situation but Barton also admitted that he never saw Potter leave the bathroom that he had entered, which sounded weird to Fury because Barton was not some low level agent that could easily be avoided. Though from Barton's reports Fury learned that he had seen one person during the hostage situation and that he suspected the person to have more than likely been the one responsible for taking out the hostiles.

And when they had learned that there was one unconscious hostage left in the bathroom that Mr Potter was supposed to be in but no sign of Mr Potter then naturally their curiosity had increased. After some digging they discovered a hideout that the hostiles were using. A large amount of Shield agents came to the hide out, Barton included, only to find twenty or so men unconscious.

Some with broken bones, others with no signs of injury at all. Some time was spent looking through their phones, computers, files and any other information they might have had, at the end of it Shield had realized that David Price had taken the serum that his father had given him and shared the rest of it with those men. When they decided he was no longer useful they tried to get rid of him. The men still needed to be interrogated but that was the best theory they had at the moment.

Which made things more worrying, if these men were enhanced then that meant that they were all taken out by a skilled and powerful group or perhaps a single skilled and powerful person if Barton's report about the figure in the shadows was to be believed and it was simply because it was Barton who had said it.

The fact that this person could possibly be Harry Potter had not escaped Fury's mind, if it was Potter then he either was ridiculously trained or an enhanced as well or maybe even both. It was possible that Potter could be from another planet, many people would scoff at the idea of aliens but Nick Fury was not one of them, he did not rule anything out.

It would make sense if Potter was an alien, Fury had originally brushed the knowledge of Potter's white hair off as a simple genetic problem but it was possibly normal if he was an alien, and if Potter had extra capabilities beyond the average human then maybe he was born with those abilities. Admittedly Fury did not believe nor did he think that Harry Potter was an alien, however he was not going to rule it out immediately.

Another thought that Fury had was what to do if Potter really was the one responsible for defeating all these enhanced, if he was then Fury did not know if he would thank him or be worried about him. Probably both. One important question was how Potter did it, as it advanced tech or enhanced abilities? If Potter was responsible for single handedly defeating all of those enhanced then Fury wanted him on his side, or at the very least to know all of his abilities so he could come up with plans to deal with Potter should he ever decide that killing and murdering whoever he wanted was fun.

"Shut it," Harry said to Padfoot the next day as he flopped down onto his sofa, Padfoot barked before he climbed up and placed his head in Harry's lap and allowed Harry to pet him. "I don't know why but I feel like all that I just did is going to result in a big headache." Harry sighed as he ran his other hand through his hair, Padfoot gave him a soft bark. "I know," Harry said in agreement. "personally I blame nargles." Harry added, Padfoot have a small huff in response. "No, I am pretty sure it was nargles." Harry replied.

Harry was currently thinking about his actions at the mall, he didn't really mean to get involved but the assholes had ruined his day and he had gone into 'fight or flight' mode the second the gun was aimed on him, and Harry nearly always chose 'fight'. Of course Harry also knew when to run, probably not as well as he should have when he was younger but that is besides the point. Taking out the first bad guy lead to taking out the others which lead to Harry going to their hide out and finishing the job, Harry had returned home and fell asleep after he was sure that the job was finished.

That was one thing Harry made sure to do, always finish the job, quite frankly it had been very tempting to just end their lives and leave it at that but Harry figured that since he was no longer in a war he should probably not kill each and every bad guy he meets, though it was still tempting. He realized that it was possible for him to get another chance at it if they escaped but hopefully they wouldn't.

Harry was glad he remembered to remove their knowledge of him out of their minds, it could make things really awkward and difficult for him if he didn't. Harry also realized that if he wanted to then he could probably just go out and spend his nights fighting crime like a hero out of a comic book, but Harry didn't really know if he wanted to do that.

On the one hand it would be fun to fight criminals and it would feel nice to keep people safe. But on the other hand it can be argued that Harry had already done more than his fair share of that. Harry wasn't one to brag, mostly because he didn't talk to many people, but also because he didn't really think much on or of his achievements. But even if Harry was the humblest person in the world he would still admit that he had saved quite a lot of lives.
