"You didn't need to know." Harry shrugged. "Plus we're not exactly best friends or anything, so I didn't really see any reason to let you know."
"By the way, that stick..." Tony said as he pointed to Harry's wand. "what is it made out of?"
"Wood." Harry answered in a dry voice.
"Ok, what's in it?" Tony asked patiently, as if he was speaking to it. "I propose that you tell me about your tech, I'll tell you about mine. Fair's fair, how about it?"
"It's not tech." Harry said as the wand disappeared in front of everyone. "It's magic."
"It can't be." Tony said in a disbelieving voice.
"You've seen what he can do," Steve pointed to Loki, "but you draw the line at him having magic?" Steve asked with disbelief.
"Loki's an alien," Tony argued. "his 'magic' is probably just really advanced alien science."
"And what's to stop Harry's magic from being really advanced Earth science that you don't know?" Natasha countered, Tony was silent for several moments.
"Good point." Tony conceded. Everyone was silent for a minute or so before Cap finally broke the silence.
"I don't like it." Steve said to Tony as he gestured with his head to Loki.
"You mean rock of ages giving up so easily?" Tony replied.
"I don't remember it being that easy," Steve frowned. "this guy packs a wallop."
"Still, you are pretty spry for an older fellow." Tony responded. "What's your thing, Pilates?"
"What?" Steve looked confused.
"It's like calisthenics," Tony explained. "you might have missed a few things, you know, doing time as a 'Capsicle'."
"Wow." Harry said under his breath, Harry was the first to admit that he was no expert in making friends but even he knew it was a bad idea to make a joke out of a guy spending 70 years or so frozen in ice.
"Fury didn't tell me he was calling you in." Steve said, he looked like he wanted to say something about the comment but had decided to let it slide for now.
"Steve, the guy is a head of a spy organization," Harry pointed out. "if you talk to him then never expect him to ever tell you the full truth, even if you just ask him what's available for lunch."
"Jack Frost over there is right," Tony said as he gestured to Harry. "I..." Tony paused as he noticed Harry's eyes were no longer green. "are those color changing contacts?"
"Between your ears, is that a brain or did you leave yours at home?" Harry replied. "Also, Jack Frost, did you really just call me Jack Frost?"
"I'm still a little jet lagged," Tony said defensively. "you're welcome to supply your own nicknames if you have better suggestions."
"I think you would be better served..." Harry was cut off by the sound of thunder, he and the others looked out through the jet windows and at the sky.
"Where is this coming from?" Natasha said as lightning suddenly began lighting up the sky, which was incredibly odd as there was no sign of lightning or even rain on the weather forecast plus the fact that the sky's had been decently calm before now.
"What's the matter?" Steve asked Loki who was looking quite worried. "Scared of a little lightning?"
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Loki replied, still looking worried.
"What follows?" Harry muttered under his breath before realization hit him. "Crap baskets." Harry sighed just before something landed on top of the plane. Harry's wand quickly returned to his hand, he flicked it and the jet door opened.
"What are you doing?" Cap asked as he and Stark put their helmets back on.
"Stay there." Harry ordered as he stood up, thankful for his quick stamina recovery. He shook his head just as Thor landed, on the open jet door. He was about to walk forward and grab Loki but was blocked from touching him by a magical forcefield that Harry had quickly placed, he raised his hammer and looked towards the others when he saw Harry's costume.
"You." Thor said, recognizing his costume.
"Me," Harry replied, as his hood and mask briefly came back on before his hood went down and his mask disappeared once more. "what are you doing here?" Harry asked.
"I am taking Loki with me," Thor said in a firm voice. "he will face Asgardian justice."
"Probably better than whatever we can do but there's a slight problem with that," Harry said as he casually twirled his wand in his hand. "you see Loki, your brother, has killed a lot of people."
"I apologize for that," Thor said, looking pained. "but I..."
"And he not only stole the tesseract but has also affected the minds of a great many people, innocent and otherwise." Harry continued, interrupting Thor. "So you see I don't care if you take him with you to Asgard, I don't care if you even execute him once you get there, but first we're going to clean up Loki's mess. You can help clean up the mess then ask Director Fury to take him or we can fight now, become enemies and risk Loki escaping. What are you going to do?" Harry asked as he suddenly stopped twirling his wand. Thor was silent, he looked between Loki and Harry.
"What happened to him?" Thor asked as he gestured to Loki's face.
"He tried to use magic on my mind, it didn't work out for him." Harry responded.
"You did this?" Thor asked, a small hint of disbelief in his voice.
"I can do worse than that." Harry replied. "So, are you friend or foe?"
"I will help you," Thor said after a short silence. "but then I will take Loki back with me to Asgard."
"That's not my call to make, but I will recommend it to the guy in charge." Harry responded. "Now sit down before you break something." Harry said as he flicked his wand and the jet door closed, Harry sat down in his own seat while Thor sat down next to Loki. Thor looked and Loki and noticed his body twitched.
"What's wrong with you?" Thor asked Loki.
"He annoyed me." Harry answered on Loki's behalf, earning a glare from Loki.
