Chapter 42

"Well?" Steve asked when Harry, Matt and Natasha got back "How did it go?"

"Brilliantly!" Harry said with a wide smile. "The accords are no longer a problem!"

"After Ross's little...'incident'...nobody really wanted to be associated with the accords." Natasha added.

"Yeah, it was clear to everyone that Ross wanted control of any and all enhanced individuals." Matt said. "Everyone voted against it, the fact that the King of Wakanda was against it helped."

"Plus our behind the scenes activities probably helped." Harry said to Natasha.

"What 'behind the scenes activities'?" Tony asked.

"Nothing." Natasha said, giving him a look that said 'don't ask'.

"It wasn't illegal if that's what you're worried about." Harry replied. "Anyway guys, this is good news, happy news even. So tomorrow night we are going to celebrate, party at my place, you're all invited. You too Matt."

"Oh no, I couldn't." Matt replied, shaking his head slightly. "This is between you all and..."

"Yes you can." Harry interrupted. "You have been a big help and I am going to show my appreciation via party. There's free food, free drinks, I will even provide transport if you need it and I know that you have nothing scheduled for tomorrow so you are coming unless you have a good reason not to."

"Fine." Matt said with a small sigh. "If you're sure."

"I am." Harry nodded.

"Where is Bruce?" Bucky asked.

"Oh, spending some time with the lovely Miss Betty Ross." Harry smiled.

"You look happy for him." Steve replied.

"That's because if he gets lucky then I am going to spend a lot of time letting Ross know and reminding him of the fact."

"What happened to Ross anyway?" Rhodey asked.

"Shield has him in custody and Fury is probably having a drink and enjoying himself. Ross has made plenty of enemies over the years." Harry answered.

"Oh that smells beautiful." Pietro said as he reached for a bite only to get his hand slapped away.

"No sampling the food." Wanda said. "You will wait like everyone else."

Wanda and Pietro were in Harry's place with Harry, Natasha had a meeting to attend so it fell to the three of them to organise the party. Between Pietro's superspeed and Harry's magic, the place was quickly set up. Right now Harry and Wanda were in the kitchen, cooking together.

"Just a little?" Pietro asked hopefully.

"Oh look, she's got that 'I am going to kill you' look." Harry idly commented as he glanced at Wanda who was indeed supporting such a look.

"Oh yeah," Pietro said as if he had just noticed it. "well I am done here so I am going to go talk to the pretty lady down the hall." Pietro quickly snatched a sample and ran out before anyone could stop it.
