Chapter 20 - CH.20

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."

.....

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."
