Chapter 43

"A trip to where? Who is that from?" Wanda asked, looking at the note with a curious expression.

"An old friend of mine," Harry replied before to Natasha. "you remember back when we were in the hellicarrier during the whole tesseract and alien invasion shit and I asked you out?" Harry asked.

"Like it was one of the most eventful days of my life, yes." Natasha nodded after a moment of pretending to think.

"You remember I mentioned having someone I talked to when life was being particularly difficult?"

"Yeah." Natasha nodded. "Wait, let me guess, your 'therapist' I think you said, is whoever sent you this note."

"Yep. Tell me, have either of you two ever heard of the 'Sorcerer Supreme'?" Harry asked both girls and waited for a response.

"No," Wanda said while Natasha frowned as she clearly did not know either. "should we know who that is?"

"I would be very much beyond surprised if you did know," Harry replied. "she is first of all, a magic user, in case the name 'Sorcerer Supreme' did not tip you off to the fact."

"Is she a witch?" Natasha asked.

"No, I am a wizard and a female magic user in my old world would have been called a witch." Harry explained. "She is a magic user though, she is pretty powerful as well."

"Why hasn't shield heard of her?" Natasha asked as she thought about what Harry was saying, if this magic user was powerful like Harry said then it should be possible for Director Fury and a few members of shield to have heard about her. Plus she did not remember Harry ever mentioning a 'Sorcerer Supreme'.

"Magic is a brilliant thing," Harry shrugged. "makes it very easy to hide if you are smart enough to know exactly how to use it. As for why you have not heard of her, she is not really big into making her presence known. We, the Avengers, fight off physical threats like robot armies and invading aliens and Hydra and so on. They have a different focus, they focus on magical threats."

"They?" Natasha asked, picking up on his choice of word.

"As in more than one, yes," Harry confirmed. "I do not know how many sorcerers there actually are but I think there is a fair amount."

"Who is this person?" Wanda asked.

"I do not really know her name, though she goes by the title of 'Ancient One'."

"Ancient? Is she an immortal like you?" Natasha asked.

"Nah, she is just old. Been using magic to keep herself alive for longer than she should. I have opinions on that but that's not the point." Harry said, remembering the long discussions he had with her about her particular method of staying alive. "I have not visited in years, do you two want to come or what?" Harry asked.

"I wouldn't..." Natasha was interrupted as her phone beeped, she took it out of her pocket and looked at it. "apparently I would mind," Natasha said. "Fury is calling me at shield, says it is important."

"Do you need me to come with you?" Harry asked.

"Nah," Natasha said after a moment of thinking. "it should be fine but I will call you if I need you."
