Chapter 18: Combat Test
Harry arrived on the Shield hellicarrier by jet, he would have preferred to arrive by teleporting but was holding off on that for now. After all he didn't really want to show off all of his abilities to everyone yet, though he was wondering if he should show off a few just so he didn't have to hide them anymore. But for now as far as Shield was concerned he was just an enhanced who had abilities that they weren't entirely sure about, only the top three knew anything about his abilities and he had only told them a limited amount. Harry exited the jet, wearing the same clothes as last time.
The first two people he met once he got out of the jet happened to be Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff. Clint was wearing black shoes, trousers, a shirt and a jacket. Natasha wore black shoes, black trousers, a red shirt and black jacket.
"Romanoff, Barton." Harry nodded in greeting.
"Potter." Romanoff replied with Clint nodding back. "It's nice to see you, I'm guessing that judging by your meeting with Fury you are joining us." She said, though she wanted to be in the meeting she was not allowed but knew she couldn't complain as only the top three were in the meeting with him.
"Apparently so." Harry responded.
"Fury said he wanted us to see how good you really are." Clint replied.
"Yeah," Harry nodded. "he mentioned something about tests. Apparently he wants to see how good I am compared to other Shield agents."
"Me and Clint are in charge of your examination," Natasha informed. "we will be recording everything and sending it to Fury to see."
"Fair enough." Harry shrugged just as a bark was heard. Padfoot walked out of the jet and climbed down the ramp before he stopped next to Harry, he whined before rubbing his head against Harry's leg. Harry sighed and reached down and softly stroke the loveable dog's head. "He isn't really used to flying on a jet." Harry explained to Clint and Natasha.
"You brought your dog with you?" Clint asked in a slightly disbelieving voice.
"He wanted to come," Harry shrugged. "don't worry he is trained and he won't get in the way." Clint and Natasha looked at each other, it appeared to Harry that they either knew some level of mind arts or were good enough friends to know how to hold a conversation without words, eventually they looked back at him.
"If he craps all over the hellicarrier then you're cleaning it up." Natasha said.
"Fair enough." Harry nodded. "Now shall we get on with it?" Harry asked.
"Follow us." Natasha said over her shoulder as she began walking away with Clint behind her, Harry and Padfoot following behind the both of them. Padfoot barked at Harry.
"I'll ask about the uniform later." Harry whispered.
....
"Right, so what's the deal here?" Harry asked as he found himself standing in the middle of a training room, he was currently stood in the middle of a group of training mats. Surrounding him was a group of Shield trainees, wearing black boots and trousers plus a blue shirt. Outside of the group Natasha and Clint stood with Padfoot sitting next to them, Clint had a camera in his hands and was aiming at Harry.
"This is just a basic combat test." Natasha began explaining. "These trainees will be your opponents, we'll start light and have just five of them attack you."
"Right and how realistic is the fighting going to be?" Harry asked. "Light contact? Hard hitting? What am I allowed to do?"
"Nothing that would cause permanent damage." Natasha answered just as Padfoot gave Harry a supportive bark.
"Begin!" Clint suddenly shouted.
Like a switch was pressed Harry had suddenly became laser focused, Harry quickly turned around and saw two trainees run at him together. The first one threw a punch that Harry ducked under, he hit the second trainee in the face with a spinning kick that sent him a couple of steps back before he fell on his back, the first trainee turned and threw another punch but Harry caught him, one hand grabbed the trainees wrist and the other grabbed his shirt and he found himself being thrown over head and landing on the ground. A third trainee ran towards Harry who quickly reacted and jumped towards him and hit him with a knee that dropped him instantly, two more trainees ran at Harry at the same time. Harry smirked and moved towards them.
"He's not bad." Clint whispered to Natasha who nodded in agreement as Padfoot lowered his head and covered his eyes with his paws, Natasha allowed an amused expression to come on to her face when she noticed it.
"He's cute." Natasha smiled.
"You like Potter?" Clint blinked.
"I meant the dog." Natasha sighed, she was about to say more when suddenly a noise brought her attention back to the trainee mat and she saw all the trainees down laying down on the mats.
"So," Harry said to Natasha and Clint. "what's next?" Harry asked.
.....
"Oh nothing much," Clint said in a dismissive tone. "we'll just do some more hand to hand combat tests and see how good you are with weapons before we take you down to the gun range and...surprise attack!" Clint suddenly yelled.
Harry turned at an incredibly fast speed and managed to avoid a kick from a sixth trainee, Harry grabbed his leg before he could drop it with one arm while his other arm wrapped around the trainees neck, Harry threw himself backwards and threw the trainee overhead, causing him to land on his front. Harry quickly rolled up to his feet and looked around to see if there would be any more surprise attacks.
"Anyone else?" Harry asked Clint.
"No...no,, not really."
