Natasha so far was admittedly impressed with Harry's combat abilities, he was clearly experienced in the art of hand to hand combat. He was also skilled at using other weapons such as batons, though if Natasha had to chose a weapon for him then she would give him a knife as that is where he appeared to shine. She would like to see how talented he is with a real knife.

As of the moment they were in the gun range, to start with they had him dissemble and assemble a gun, he did both far ahead of the time for someone who would have just recently started learning how to use a gun. The way he seemed at ease with it told Natasha that he was rather bored with the process, which lead to her wondering just how much experience he had with them.

"Alright," The gun range instructor said. "when you're ready just fire at the targets." He said as he pointed to the targets on the other side of the room.

"Do I have to aim for a specific part?" Harry asked.

"Try a headshot if you want." The instructor rolled his eyes.

"Fine." Harry shrugged before he aimed his gun at the target and fired. Once the gun was emptied out everyone looked at the target and few gaped at seeing the fact that all the bullets had hit the exact same spot on the targets forehead. Clint and Natasha for their part merely raised an eyebrow and looked amused. "Do you want me to go again?" Harry asked the instructor as he reloaded his gun.

"Uh...no, I think that'll be alright." The instructor refused.

"Fair enough." Harry said as he shifted the gun into his left hand, without looking at the target he aimed his gun towards it and fired one more time, the bullet hitting the exact same spot as the other bullets. "One for luck." Harry said by way of an explanation.

"Woof." Padfoot barked, Harry mentally translated it into 'stop showing off'.

A long while later after another bunch of tests Harry was finally allowed to leave along with Padfoot. Natasha would have been really surprised if Fury didn't want him after looking at his results. She knew that Harry had impressed Clint with his shooting and weapon skill if nothing else.

While observing him Natasha noticed one thing above all else, the ease in which he did everything. Every move, every act looked like it had been done a thousand times before. That was something that she found odd, well...one other thing she found odd, despite looking young and only being twenty he gave off the presence of someone much older.

Natasha had met her fair share of agents and soldiers, by now she could tell the trained from the untrained within less than a minute. She knew that Clint along with Fury, Hill and Coulson could also see the difference. Harry Potter was very much still a mystery to her, the thing is...mystery's don't last long around her.

.....

When Harry and Padfoot arrived back home Harry had immediately got to getting Padfoot's food ready and once he was done he immediately made himself a pizza with a wave of his wand. The two sat down and began eating while watching TV, once they were both done Padfoot softly barked at Harry.

"Sorry," Harry shook his head. "In asked but they don't have a uniform for you." Padfoot whined in a soft and disappointed voice. "Sorry," Harry apologized. " there is good news though." Harry added, Padfoot gave him a questioning look. "they're not going to neuter you."

A couple of days later Harry was called to Shield for his first assignment, which was why Harry found himself standing in Director Fury's office with Director Fury sat behind his desk, Agent Hill standing on his right but Agent Coulson was not here for one reason or another, Harry didn't ask.

"A while back one of our agents was sent to find out as much information as she could about a drug deal," Fury said as Agent Hill handed him a tablet, Harry looked at the tablet and saw a picture of a female agent with blonde hair and blue eyes. "she hasn't reported in at her scheduled time and we have been unable to contact her. We currently believe that she is being held captive." Fury said as Harry swiped the tablet with his finger so it showed him the next picture which was on a very large, grey, three story building. Harry was guessing that it was in another country by looking at the quality and look of the building plus the sandy environment around it. "The people holding her captive are not...'good people' to say the least."

"You want me to rescue her." Harry guessed as he reached the page about 'not good' people that Fury was talking about.

"Yes," Fury nodded. "I do, we don't know if she's alive." Fury's admitted.

"Fine, check and see if she is alive and if she is then rescue her, what about those who would prefer if I didn't rescue her? Kill them? Capture them?"

"That is entirely up to you, though between us I wouldn't weep if they happened to stop causing problems. However we estimate there to be at least a hundred hostiles at any given time if you include those guarding the outside, you will take a team with you and..."

"That's not necessary." Harry cut him off. "I can handle it on my own, consider the bad guys a short way from dead and your agent a short way from being saved, providing she is still alive."

"There are a hundred guys there with guns, knives and probably a few other things." Agent Hill reminded him as she spoke in a disbelieving tone. "You might be an enhanced but you are just one man."

"A hundred guys is nothing I can't handle." Harry said in a dismissive voice.

"Are you serious?"

"Deadly, so much so that I'd be willing to bet on it. You up for a bet Hill?"

"That's Agent Hill to you," Agent Hill said with a soft glare. "what type of bet?" She asked curiously.

"If I can't handle the hundred bad guys but still make it back alive then I will allow you and Director Fury to ask me five questions each and I will answer them with full honesty plus Shield won't have to pay me for the next year or so. However if I can handle it then I get to spend a night at your place." Harry said, tempted to smirk at the surprised look on Fury's face and the shocked and disbelieving look on Agent Hill's.

"Are you serious?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Very." Harry nodded. He watched as Agent Hill seemed to think about the offer and mentally weighed up the pros and cons of accepting Harry's offer along with the pros and cons of refusing to accept it.

"Fine." She said eventually. "You've got a deal."

"Surprise developments aside," Fury said in a dry voice. "but are you sure that you can handle this?" Fury asked Harry.

"I've got sufficient motivation." Harry shrugged in response, Fury glanced at Hill before looking back at Harry.

"Fair enough," He said eventually. "but I am assigning a back up team to immediately take action should you fail."

"Fair enough," Harry replied. "is there anything else I should know?" Harry asked.

"Not that I can think of." Fury replied. "Any information that you need will be on the file." Fury said as he gestured to the tablet in Harry's hand.

"Okay," Harry nodded, "wear something nice." Harry added to Hill before he turned and walked away.
