29 Howling Commandos
Austria-Italy SSR Base:
19 hours after Steve and Mason went on a rescue mission:
"WHERE IS MY ASSET, COLONEL!?" Special Agent Clarke asks, as soon as he comes into the base.
It's been half a day since Rogers and Aves disappeared, after Carter and Stark dropped them at the Hydra base, and it's been 7 hours since the SSR knows it's happened, as they hadn't been found in the morning.
Since Agent Clarke was already in Italy, he came as soon as he found out about it, to make sure the Americans hadn't Kidnapped them.
"I'll let you know as soon as I find out, Agent. But until then, mind your tone, and your rank." Phillips says, glaring at Clarke. Carter and Stark were in the same room, and were awaiting their punishment.
Before Clarke can say anything though, a noise from the camp distracts them all. The quartet goes outside, to see a large group of people were coming through the camp gates, carrying a multitude of weapons, looking futuristic in designs.
At the forefront of them all, were two people, one of them easily recognisable as the Star Spangled man with a plan, Steve Rogers, Blue Uniform and all. While the other was the British Knight in Shining Armour, Mason Aves.
Behind them, were more than 500 men from the battle forces trapped in the Hydra camp.
The soldiers around the camp begin clapping, and cheering, for the work they just did. Not only did they go on a risky mission, they came back. And they brought 500 of their soldiers back from behind enemy lines, along with new weapons.
"Some of these men need medical attention." Steve says, as soon as he's close enough to Colonel Phillips, Agent Clarke, and Agent Carter. While a Corporal shouts for the medics to come, he looks at the higher ups, and says, "I'm ready for my disciplinary action, sir."
"I'm not." Mason quips, winking at Stark, and says, "I informed you all that I was leaving, and General Eisenhower sent me here to help my comrades."
Clarke begins to gear up for a shout, but Colonel Phillips stops his tantrum, and says, "As far as I can see, nothing illegal happened. You all can rest for now." He waves his hand, so the Camp members can help the rescued people.
Phillips turns to Steve and Mason, and says, "Good job, Captains. I'd like a briefing in an hour."
--- Mason POV---
"Did he just promote both of us?" Steve asks, looking at the retreating Phillips, while Clarke went after him, fuming.
"What the hell?! One mission and you're a Captain?! From Pvt? Fucking hell, mate." I say, shaking my head.
I don't think this ever happened in the movies. He was still a Private that led the battles I think.
"You're late." Peggy says, coming forward, with their sexual tension resurfacing.
"Sorry, couldn't call for my ride." Steve says showing his broken transponder.
I turn to Bucky, and whisper, "Just looking at them makes me want to kill myself. Seriously, I've never seen this much Sexual tension."
Bucky simply chuckles, and says, "Hey, let's hear it for The Paladin and Captain America!"
As everyone claps for us, I glare at Bucky and whisper, "I swear to God, Barnes. If that name sticks, I'm gonna kill you myself."
A large hand pats on my back, with the owner laughing, as Dugan says, "Go with it, Aves. My Dum Dum is worse."
I simply chuckle, and enjoy the moment. It was a long walk, and I didn't manage to heal everyone, but those that I did heal, will have another chance to go home safe.
A day later, most of the Austria camp is packed up, leaving for other fronts, to help. Steve, I, Stark, Carter, and a few other of the Allied soldiers were sat on a plane, 2 hours after getting back from Hydra, and taken to London for a briefing.
Along with Colonel Phillips, there were a few other higher ups, and Agent Carter, while Steve and I told them of every step we took from getting out of the plane, to getting out of the base.
"There was a fifth base, here. In Poland. While the 6th was at this location." Steve says, pinning the points he had seen.
I take 3 more pins, and pin 3 more locations of Hydra bases. I say, "There was a map in one of the rooms I saw. These were marked as the bases of Nazi Germany that they were going to take over soon."
"Good work, you two." Phillips says, while a Corporal takes the map away.
We were now wearing our newer, and nicer Uniforms, meant for the higher ranks, and showed off our medals as Captain. Right now, we were in London, while the rescued soldiers were resting up, and just relaxing.
"Sgt Barnes mentioned that the parts were being sent to another base, which we don't know about. So we'll have to be vigilant for that too. It's probably the main Hydra Base." I add, remembering Bucky and Jones talking about it.
Phillips nods, and turns to Agent Carter. He says, "I want every Allied Eye looking for this main base. If we have to, connect with MI6."
Carter nods, and asks, "What about us? What are we to do?"
Smirking, Phillips says, "We're going to light a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass. Rogers? Aves? It's your map. You think you can do it?"
I shrug, already accepting the mission, while Steve says, "Yes sir. We're going to need a team."
"We're already putting.." Colonel starts, but I snort, stopping him.
I say, "We already have the people in mind, Colonel. Frankly speaking, this team already works well together."
---
"So let me get this straight? We just got back from hell. And you want us to go back in?" Dum Dum asks, once Steve has pitched the team to the hopeful members.
We were in a bar, and sitting with us were Dum Dum Dugan(US) Gabe Jones(US), James Flasworth(UK), Jim Morita(US), Bucky Barnes(US), Jacques Dernier(France), Pinky Pinkerton (UK), Happy Sam Sawyer(US), Junior Juniper(US), and Jimmy MacGarry from Ireland, who was in the bar, in coincidence.
"Yep." I say, popping the p.
"Fair enough. I'm in." Falsworth says, drinking his beer in one go.
One by one, they all accept. I shout, "This rounds on me, people!" To which the whole bar cheers.
What? I'm rich.
"Captain Aves?" A British voice asks, from behind me. Turning back, I look at the Black suited MI5 agent, and nod at him to continue. He says, "You've been summoned by the King."
Sighing, I ask, "When?"
"Tomorrow morning, Captain. At 9 o'clock sharp. The car will come pick you up at your house at 8:30. Be ready, by then." The Agent says, and leaves the bar.
"Why'd the King want to meet with you?" Falsworth asks, looking at me.
I shrug, and answer, "I think it's about the fact that I'm a science experiment, and so he believes I'm his to command or something. We'll see tomorrow. For now, Tommy! Another whiskey!"
After a few hours of drinking, to no effect, and singing, I take a taxi to my London house, and portal from there to the Aves Manor. While the British Government knows about my London home, they can't look inside it thanks to the wards. They can't enter it either, so there are no spying tools.
Getting out of the portal, and into my bedroom, I'm met with the wide tearful eyes of Helena, who had just awoken to my entrance, and surprisingly, Dorea, who was hugging Helena close, and deeply asleep.
Getting close and kissing her fiercely, I say, "I missed you, Hel."
"I missed you too, Helena says, slowly untangling herself from Dorea's arm.
Dorea wakes up with that, and looks at me, snogging Helena, and immediately jumps out of the bed, to hug me.
---
After having a lot of reunion fun, and telling them everything about my last few days, I listen to Helena's updates, along with what happened with Kohler's body.
Apparently, I was going to get an Order of Merlin, 2nd class for my good deeds. The information I provided allowed the Wizarding Allies to arrest a couple other people in Grindelwald's army.
As for Helena, she became the Director of MIS, and managed to get the MI5 Director, the King, the PM, and a few other officials to sign up on making MIS autonomous. Which means, we can finally start going underground.
I tell her, "While you can start with the lower level people, keep the PM, MI5 Director, and the Royal Family alone. I'll deal with them once the war is over. Okay?"
Helena nods, and says, "Fine. I'll tell Cassiopeia to cancel her plans."
I nod at her, and kiss her head. Turning to the other side, I kiss Dorea on the head too. She was already asleep, after our activities.
Soon, we both too go to sleep. It was a nice night.
---
The next morning, at exactly 0825, a car stopped in front of my building, with the UK flag on it. The Agent from yesterday steps out, and waits near the door, while the driver stays inside. I was already ready, and dressed up in my Captain's Uniform, so I enter the car, and sit in the back seat, while the Agent from yesterday sits in the front.
Without any talks, the driver starts the car, and we drive towards the Buckingham palace. It takes about 20 minutes for us to reach the palace, and 5 more minutes to get through all the check points.
Finally, I'm led to a big door, which I know leads to a conference room. Knocking on the door, the Agent escorting me leaves, while I wait there, listening to the dumb thoughts of the Officials inside.
They were going to wait to call me inside. Like children, honestly. I wait there for 15 minutes, after which the door opens from the inside, and Agent Clarke comes out.
"Captain Aves." He greets, closing the door behind him.
"Agent Clarke." I nod, greeting him.
He hands me a box, and says, "Put all of your weapons inside this box, please."
I had obviously not brought any of my usual weapons, but knowing he means my wand, "I summon it from my holster, and drop it in the box. Clarke nods, and closes the box.
The box was something made to contain the wands of criminals. It was made so it cannot be summoned using magic, and can only be taken out using a key. Not even Alohomora works on the box.
Agent Clarke pats me a few times, but doesn't find anything, so nods. He says, "Come on in."
I follow after him, and stop in front of a conference table, as Agent Clarke goes to stand behind another Black suit. Director of MI5.
Along with Director David Petrie, were the King, his daughter and heir, Elizabeth, and 5 wizards standing around the room, 2 behind the King. All of the wizards had wands in their hands. Also seated, was the PM of England, Winston Churchill.
I stand in front of the group, and salute them. I'm not going to be antagonistic from the start.
"Captain Aves." The King says, starting the meeting. He asks, "Do you know why we've called you here?"
"No, your Majesty." I answer, lying completely.
The King chuckles, and says, "We read the report on yesterday's performance. And we liked what we saw."
"Thank you, your Majesty." I say, bowing a bit.
The King nods, and cintinues, "Which is why, we want you to work for us. You'll be working under the MI5, in an organisation called the Magical Intelligence Service. We made it so our two worlds stay separate, and none of the wizarding threats, like the current Dark Lord Grindelwald, enter the normal world."
I nod, and say, "I'm going to have to respectfully decline, your Majesty. I have no inclinations to work for the MI5 beyond the War."
"That wasn't a request, Captain. It was an order. Even the Ministry of Magic comes under the King's rule, you know." The PM, Winston Churchill says, waving his hand in the air.
I look at the King, deciding what to do. I can't kill them, obviously. At least, not yet. But, I can scare them.
Chuckling a bit, I lean back, and sit down, as a chair forms underneath me, transfigured from the carpet, and the Earth below. I ask, "You know, this would have actually worked on me if you'd have asked me a decade ago. Now, I know the laws."
The wizards immediately point their wands at me, still under their vows, while Agent Clarke points his gun.
He asks, "How are you doing that? Your wand is locked up."
I simply wave my hand, and freeze everyone here in their places, including the wizards, using my Telekinesis, masking it as magic. I say, "Oh, little Agent. A Wand isn't the thing that gives us magic. It simply expands it. These wizards that you have in your employ, are simply the ones that didn't bother with trying."
Everyone stays silent, but had wide eyes, afraid of me now. Using Telepathy to knock everyone but the King out, I say, "You should know, that despite staying in an orphanage for the most of my life, I have learned everything I can about the Wizarding world, and the laws. I know that the Wizarding world is autonomous, and we work under our own lands. You should be careful what you play with, Georgie."
"What do you want?!" King George asks, gritting his teeth in anger, and fear.
I simply frown at him, and say, "You're the one who called me here, you utter moron." I shake my head, and say, "No worries, you'll remember everything like the way I want you to, anyway."
Saying that, I change everyone's memories, and cast an enervate at them. Each of them wakes up, but forget they were ever unconscious in the first place.
"Good work, Captain Aves. And all the best in your future battles " The King says, smiling widely.
Agent Clarke comes towards me, and leads me outside, after giving me my wand back, and just like that, I leave Buckingham palace.
When they woke up, they remembered a talk between us, where I agreed to work for them, and even took a vow in front of them. But, I also requested to be allowed to fight with the Howling Commandos, which they agreed to.
This is only temporary though. Once the war is over, I'll completely make them forget they ever had MIS.
Getting out of the Palace, I hail a taxi, and go towards the Allied HQ. I have a uniform I need made, and it needs to be non magical.
As soon as I get to Stark's lab, I see Stark and Steve standing together, with the Vibranium shield in Steve's hands, as they look at a retreating Peggy.
"Agent Carter." I greet as she passes me, and she greets me back.
I point at the shield and ask Steve, "So, that's what you're gonna be using?"
"Yeah, it's bulletproof." Steve mumbles, a bit distracted.
Stark shakes his head, and says, "Bulletproof he says. It's completely vibration absorbant."
"Huh." I say, and stare at the shield for a bit. While I can't Transfigurate anything into it, I can probably transmutate it. I'll need to look it a bit closely though. Later.
I see Steve handing his sketch to Stark, so I hand Stark another page, with the sketch of the Uniform I'd wanted, and ask, "Can you make something like this too?"
"Sure, what the hell. I'm getting paid by the Government anyway." Stark says, and snatches the Page, putting it in his pocket along with Steve's.
Looking at Steve, I say, "So, if you're getting a shield, I should probably get a sword or two."
Stark scratches his head, and answers, "Yeah.. actually.. that's the last of that metal we had. I can make something from steel if you want?"
I smirk, and say, "No worries, mate. I'll bring the sword myself."
Steve and Stark look dumbly at me, and Steve asks, "A sword? You have a sword?"
"Yup. Not one. 17."
Steve sighs, and asks, "Mason, why do you have these many swords?"
Stark rubs his face and says, "I swear if they're something you collected I'm going to lose my shit."
Chuckling a bit, I shake my head. I say, "Don't worry. I come from a family that used to be Lords back in the past. We lost most of our money, but we did not lose our lands, and the swords kept there."
"Just.. bring whatever you want. I'll repair them." Stark says, and turns to move back.
I laugh, and start walking outside, myself. I say, "You don't have to worry Stark. Just make the uniform. I'll bring the sword."
Time to enter the Vaults again. I have something there that'll go very well with the uniform.
---
A/N: Okay, I've posted the images in paragraph chapters, I even got the notification that it's been posted, but for some reason, you all can't see them. I have no idea what I can do about it.
The dual swords he will have, are Elvish Swords. You can do a google image search of "Elvish dual swords fantasy." These swords will be his weapon of choice ONLY when he's crowded by enemies.
As for the Long sword, that he'll usually fight with you can search for "Ravenclaw Sword Fantasy" and it's the first one.
Tata!
