Tony looked at the boy before him. "Do you trust him?" he asked, before elaborating. "Loki, your dad, I mean."

Tony watched as Harry sighed deeply, his emerald eyes now pensive. "I don't know," Harry said softly. "I think he's a different person than you knew him as. I think I'm going to have to talk to him."

In Tony's opinion, Harry seemed to be quite truthful after a moments thought. Harry was perfectly willing to admit he didn't know if he had any trust in his father, but also thought that Loki may have had a personality and morality shift since the revelation of his fatherhood. And he did willingly give the Avengers his Sceptre for research. Which made Tony realise, "I have to tell our boss that your dad gave us his Sceptre, for research."

Tony left the room after an absent minded nod, heading to another room to ring Fury. "JARVIS, call Fury," Tony said to the empty room.

"Very well Sir," came the robotic English voice of JARVIS, Iron Man's AI. "Patching him through now."

The room filled with soft elevator music, intermingled with a phone tone, until Nick Fury's voice came from the room. "Stark. How's Loki? And the kid? Decided if we can trust either of them?"

"Still unsure," Tony admitted begrudgingly, hating to acknowledge he didn't know something. "Although the kid seems pretty good, guess that's what happens when you're not raised by a murderer. Although, Loki gave us his Sceptre as a sign of trust. Says we can examine it."

"I'll put a team together," Fury replied to the unasked question.

The call ended as Fury ended the communication. Tony nodded to himself. "JARVIS, hack into whatever record system you think will help. Find me all the information you can on Loki, James Potter and Harry Potter."

"Very well Sir." With that Stark left the room and went to his lab, to examine the Sceptre while JARVIS decrypted the files.

In the sky, far above where anybody could see, was the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, a large hovering aircraft that was used as a S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarter, where General Nick Fury had just ended the a call with Tony Stark. He turned to his second in command, a woman with dark brown shoulder length hair. "Hill, Project Thinktank is initiated. Find all people suitable for research on Chitauri tech."

"Yes Sir," Maria Hill said, as she began to rapidly type on her keyboard. A light buzzing filled the air as holograms began to appear. "Doctor Otto Octavius," Hill introduced. The man displayed was a small and portly man, with shirt brown hair in a bowl cut style. "Scientist known best for bioengineering and radiation. He's also been researching Chitauri tech since the invasion."

Nick Fury motioned for Hill to continue. The hologram crackled and fizzled out, instantly being replaced with a tall thin man, with brown hair greying at the temples, wearing a blue jumpsuit with a '4' emblem on the chest. "Doctor Reed Richards."

"Mister Fantastic," Fury added.

"Correct. Known hero already, but also a genius in the fields of electronics, space travel, and alien biology."

Add him to the list," Fury ordered. Fury remembered once trying to recruit Mister Fantastic for the Avengers, although he had refused so he was able to stay with his family.

The hologram changed again, now displaying a large ape like man with blue hair coating his entire body. "Doctor Henry 'Hank' McCoy."

"Beast, of the X-Men," Fury said. The X-Men had also been offered a space with the Avengers, but Charles Xavier, their leader, decided to stay out of violence and focus on training and teaching those with developing powers and abilities.

"Graduated Harvard at age 15, genius in electronics and technology, biochemistry and biophysics."

Hill closed the holographic displays. "You know the other potential members of the Thinktank, Bruce Banner for his knowledge of nuclear energy, physics and radiation. Doctor Pym, Ant-Man, for his expertise in atomic physics and nanotechnology. And finally, Tony Stark, for his prowess in technology and engineering."

Fury nodded. "I'll make the calls."

Back in the Avengers Tower, Stark was examining the Sceptre. He had activated his quantum harmoniser to stop the Sceptre from being summoned by Loki. It wasn't that he didn't trust Loki, but he wasn't taking any chances. JARVIS' voice came from the speakers in the lab. "Mister Stark, Director Fury has recruited you, and others, to be part of his Thinktank on studying the Sceptre."

Tony gave a brief grunt of acknowledgment. "How are the files on Loki and Harry coming along?"

"The full files have been transferred to your phone. Would you like an overview?" JARVIS asked.

"Yes, please," Tony replied as he ended his examination, enduring that the quantum harmoniser was still active.

"Very well. According to our files, Loki was blood adopted by Odin, making him half Frost Giant and half Asgardian. Odin then sent him to Earth, reborn as James Potter, with his heritage blocked. He then met Lily Potter, a human Witch, and the two conceived Harry Potter. This makes Harry Potter one quarter Frost Giant, one quarter Asgardian, and half human. Both Lily and James were killed by a Dark Wizard known as Voldemort, when they sacrificed themselves. Loki then returned to lead the Chitauri invasion, was imprisoned by Odin, and his memories returned when Harry was in mortal danger. For more information, please refer to the full files."

Tony was deep in thought. James Potter was firmly against a Dark Wizard to the point to where he had sacrificed himself. While Loki may not have been the best person, if James Potter was existed him, then he couldn't be all bad.

JARVIS' thought broke his train of thought. "Apologies Sir, Loki is on his way to you."

Tony exited the room, and waited for Loki outside of the lab. Soon, Loki arrived, greeting Tony with a polite incline of the head. "Mister Stark, I wish to talk about Harry's safety."

"Go on," Tony prompted.

"As you know Harry somehow destroyed the man that killed. Since Harry attended Hogwarts that man has returned in one form or another. I wish to have him trained to ensure his safety and survival," Loki stated a serious tone.

Tony sighed. "Look, I'm not saying I don't trust you. But I don't know I can trust you to bring non-dangerous people here."

Loki's expression changed, his eyes narrowing and face going dark. "Mister Stark, I know my past, but rest assured, my son's life is my number one priority. If you do not allow him to be trained here, I will take matters into my own hands and have him trained by whoever I see fit."

"I get final say on who is allowed," Tony countered in compromise, offering out his hand.

"Mister Stark," Loki started, shaking the outstretched hand. "You have a deal."
