Harry pulled a potion bottle out of his pocket and showed it to Fury.
"First, you have to understand magic and technology don't mix well together. Magic tends to cancel out technology. Therefore, it was easy for me to disable the listening bug you had on her with a simple spell. As for how I obtained the information, well, this potion is very powerful. It's called Veritaserum. Do you know what it does?" Harry asked. Fury shook his head. "It's a truth potion. So powerful that three drops would make Merlin himself reveal all his secrets to me. I slipped a single drop to Agent Carter and asked her all about S.H.I.E.L.D. She, without even being aware, told me everything she knew."
Nick Fury didn't look happy. If anything, he looked deeply concerned.
"Why did you question her?" Fury asked.
"She was following me. I needed answers. I got a little paranoid after the war," Harry replied.
"War?" Fury repeated. Harry, however, didn't elaborate, instead, he remained silent.
"You said you met with Henri Ducard. Why did you meet with him?" Fury asked.
"To understand how S.H.I.E.L.D. thinks. So I can counteract your agents should the day come when I'm no longer on your friend's list. I needed to know how your agents think and fight because the day will come when your superiors will force you to take me out. You know that's a possibility. I'd rather keep living and breathing," Harry replied.
"You honestly believe it will come to that? I can assure you I will take no action against you. As long as you're not planning world conquest, I will leave you alone," Fury assured him in a strong voice.
"You might be throwing your support behind me, but that doesn't mean others will too. You know as well as I do that some people will want to cut me up and try to harness my abilities, duplicate them, or create biological weapons from my blood. Can you honestly say that you can protect me when there are no laws that protect me or give me civil rights? Because there aren't any I'm in great danger from countless Witch Hunters," Harry responded in an equally strong voice.
"So you're saying you need laws that protect you and give you civil rights?" Fury asked.
"There are none for me and my kind. You know as well as I do there are no innocents when it comes to the Witch Trials. If you're not a witch then you can't prove it until you're already dead. If you are guilty then you burn alive. That's if they don't torture you first. Endlessly: day and night. Demanding we confess to save our souls. Saying God will save us if we confess. It was just wicked men abusing their position and power out of desire for an ability they did not understand and yet wanted anyway. My people have had their blood spilled due to the simple fact people in power want to control what doesn't belong to them. Right now the world leaders are following an old pattern of trying to control what they cannot. You know as well as I do that they see potential in making me a living weapon. Taking away my thoughts and freedom for their own profit. My opinion doesn't matter to them. This will create conflict. This conflict could escalate into full-scale war. If that happens, the death toll will be catastrophic."
Fury paused as he took this in. He was beginning to see a pattern emerging with no end in sight. Just repeat after repeat. Something new had to be done. A different path, a different approach. A new path had to be forged to break the cycle. Otherwise, they were doomed to fight. Fury had to try a different approach.
"Look, I can't stand here and tell you that I know what you're going through because I don't. I can only say from what you've told me, and from my experience, it seems like people's fear gets the best of them. I'll do what I can to keep politicians away from you. I would like it if you stayed with the Avengers. I know you were the one that kept the team together during the battle. You showed that you have leadership skills, and due to the fact that you saved the world and expected no reward, I believe you could be exactly what this world needs."
Harry said nothing as he looked at Fury, trying to figure out his angle.
"The Avengers is an S.H.I.E.L.D. team. You would control us and prevent us from doing what is right," Harry said.
"Officially, yes. In reality, the Avengers will be what they decide to become. S.H.I.E.L.D. will be your liaison for intelligence and support. What I started, what I created… is something more than I dreamt of. With the right push, the Avengers can be exactly what this world needs. I know better than you think that the Avengers cannot be controlled if they are to save the world. I'll deal with the pencil pushers. You do what you do best and be a hero," Fury stated.
