"May I ask why you sent all the aliens bodies and weapons back into space?" Fury asked.
"Because I knew if anyone got their hands on them they would use that advanced technology to wage war against anyone who opposes them. To prevent war from breaking out, I made sure that the technology stayed out of the reach of the world leaders. Yes, there is potential for good, but can you honestly say that no world or military leader would abuse the power and attack another country to seize control of it?" Harry asked as he looked at Fury.
"My superiors are breathing down my neck because we lost the Tesseract and didn't get our hands on any single piece of Chitauri tech. Now, I'm supposed to scold you for keeping advanced technology out of our reach; however, I have to agree with you. This kind of technology mustn't fall into the wrong hands," Fury said.
Harry said nothing, feeling the effects of his sleep deprivation. He rubbed his eyes again as he tried to stay awake. Harry had been certain the Witch Hunters had been called in to bring him in. If Fury was telling the truth, then that meant he could breathe again.
"You know the President is awarding the Avengers the Medal of Freedom," Fury said as he strode forward.
"I heard. I'm not going," Harry said flatly as he conjured a glass of water and drank from it.
"Are you really that afraid?" Fury asked.
"Wouldn't you be? After six hundred years of Witch Hunts, wouldn't you be afraid for your well-being? I may be the last of my people in this world," Harry replied.
"As long as you're getting the medal, you won't be prosecuted," Fury said calmly.
"That's easy for you to say. There are no laws protecting any magical being from being prosecuted or executed. The public opinion right now is supporting me; however, that could easily change once they start demanding answers. Answers that they don't deserve to know. I'm sure there are many in the government right now trying to figure out a way to replicate my abilities or turn me into a living weapon," Harry said in a strong voice.
Fury said nothing, as he knew full well it was perfectly true. He had already gotten word on General Ross trying to capture the wizard to replicate his abilities. S.H.I.E.L.D. was working overtime to counter Ross's intelligence sources to prevent him from finding out where Raven lived. Just from intercepting Ross's email and phone, they knew that he was under the impression that he could replicate Harry's abilities to make super soldiers. Ross was still working on trying to find out who Raven was in the first place.
"I know there are many interested parties who want your abilities. Magic, as far as I'm concerned, has always been a farfetched part of some people's imaginations. From what I've seen, it gives pretty good offensive and defensive abilities. What else can it do?" Fury asked.
Harry looked at him. Giving him a stern look and using legilimency, Harry sighed and turned away. "You don't seem to understand even the basic principles of magic. Like so many other muggles, you don't understand. For our people, using magic to hurt others is forbidden. Using magic for profit is also forbidden. If we do use magic against another, it's normally to test our skills."
Fury looked at him as if trying to understand what was being said. He finally spoke in a soft voice that was a bit strange for Harry to hear, as Fury normally spoke in a strong, commanding or stern voice. "Look, I had no idea the Witch Hunts were real. I know it's a dark part of our history, and one I'm not interested in repeating. However, you have to admit, your abilities make a lot of people nervous. They want assurance that you can be contained."
"I know. The truth is, I cannot. I will do what I always do. It's really the only thing I know how to do. Like I told Henri Ducard, I have a saving people thing. I won't hesitate to protect people from harm. Sometimes, all the people need is a hero to save them. I'm not doing this to benefit from my work. I don't want any rewards or grand tales of my actions. I just…" Harry paused as he gave a heavy sigh, "I just want to help make the world a better place."
Fury nodded his head in acknowledgment. "Finding people like you is rare. Normally, people want something for their hard work. Recognition, money, fame, fortune, stuff like that. It's uncommon to find a truly honest person that isn't after anything."
"You have questions. Questions that have been bugging you for a while," Harry stated.
"I do. I have three main questions. I hope you can provide me answers," Fury replied. Harry nodded his head. "You said you got information from Agent Carter. How? We went over the conversations you two had many times and she didn't reveal anything. So, how did you obtain information from her if what you claim is true and you didn't read her mind?"
"There is no such thing as mind reading," Morgan le Fay stated.
