Chapter 74 - Chapter 70

Harry sat down and began to think deeply. His own experience with the government hasn't been promising. Fudge had refused to face the danger and let Voldemort operate for a full year before he revealed himself to the public. Harry had no doubt there were a lot of politicians like that, that would allow the bad guys to run free for good their public image. It was only after Voldemort was revealed to the public and the magical community screamed for Fudge to resign for his inability to stop the Death Eaters from rising that Fudge even began to act. When it was revealed that he was friends with Death Eaters, Fudge was left with no choice to resign as the public was in an uproar. He fell into disgrace. From what Harry understood, he had had trouble finding a decent job afterward.

Next came Scrimgeour. Scrimgeour proved to also be ineffective as Minister. Like, Fudge, he had cared more about the public's perception of him that telling the truth, falsely claiming that the Ministry was strong and winning the war. He tended to arrest people regardless of guilt so he could claim he was arresting Death Eaters. He also spent most of his time trying to goad Harry into becoming his puppet. Needless to say, Harry didn't like the way Scrimgeour had done doing things. He also didn't like the fact that he would be used as a puppet. He would do things his way.

Harry slowly realized there was a small part of him that wanted the approval of the people. However, he had learned long ago that he couldn't please everyone. What truly mattered was ensuring people did not grow up as he did. He couldn't win everyone's support, but he would protect them.

Harry sighed, realizing that things weren't going to be easy for the Avengers. However, this could prove to be a great adventure for him: one he would enjoy greatly as much as he did his time with Ron and Hermione.

"So, are you saying the Avengers can choose our own path and S.H.I.E.L.D. will do nothing?" Harry asked slowly.

"As long as you don't do anything that threatens the world, S.H.I.E.L.D. will not get involved." Jessica Drew said firmly.

"What about… the Other Guy?" Banner spoke up.

"The Hulk is a member of the Avengers. As such, S.H.I.E.L.D. has officially laid claim over you. This will keep other parties, Ross in particular… at bay and far away," Jessica Drew said.

"Ross?" Harry repeated.

"General Thaddeus E. 'Thunderbolt' Ross is a U.S. Army General who has been after the Super Soldier Serum his entire life. He's also after the 'Other Guy' in hopes to replicate him and create an army of them. He's already created another one. An Abomination. Our fight… kind of… broke… Harlem." Banner said as he looked away.

Harry could see the problem. The Hulk was a lucky break, as he proved to be a reflection of Banner's own anger and frustration. Harry's guess was against bullies. However, if an army of Hulks were to emerge, then nothing could stop them from destroying the world.

"That sounds like a bad idea. Especially if they run wild and out of control. Nothing would be able to stop them," Harry said.

"Is it really that bad?" Morgan asked.

"Perhaps you should show her so she can understand," Harry said to Banner.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Banner replied slowly.

"Leave that to me. I want to speak to the Hulk. I'm curious to talk to him," Harry said.

"You might not enjoy that," Banner replied drily.

"I think I can handle the Hulk," Harry said firmly.

Banner looked uncomfortable as he looked around the room for support against Harry's idea to bring the Hulk out.

"Question," Steve suddenly said. "How do you plan on stopping the Hulk if he does go on a rampage?"

"The Hulk's key strength is his anger, right? Anger fuels him. If that's the case, then I know a couple of spells and potions that could fix that," Harry explained.

Banner sighs as he reached up and removed his glasses. He backed away before he lets out a groan as if he was in pain. It happened fast. Banner groaned as his body began to enlarge, ripping his clothes in the process and turn green.. Banner leaned his head back and gestured his arms backward as he grew, finally stopping when an eight foot seven monster stood before the group.

"My God," Pepper said in shock, dropping her glass.

Harry got up and walked forward. The Hulk stood there, breathing heavily.

"Maybe you shouldn't get so close," Romanoff worriedly.

Harry wasn't paying any attention to her. His legilimency on the Hulk hadn't given him much, but he could tell that his mind wasn't just anger, but also sorrow, regret, and even loneliness, with a deep-seated need for understanding.
