The black Lion - Who are you? (Patreon)

Harrison Evans, a few moments after the attack

Harry was staring impassively at the remains of the stupid fool's armor when a red-and-gold missile sped into the shattered room

“OBADIAH I...” a suit of much better quality, slenderer and clearly with better technology had arrived

And the miniature arc reactor gave away perfectly who it was

"You're late, Stark," Harrison replied as he pointed to the amorphous mass of twisted metal and lifted the reactor he had extracted from Obadiah's chest

Tony landed firmly and began to walk towards Harrison, taking the peculiar object

"Nice trinket, though limited," Harrison joked, knowing it would annoy the arrogant genius

Tony lifted the mask of his suit and Harrison laughed even more at the sight of the millionaire's frown

"Someday I'll find out how your reactor works, Evans," he answers at the same time that Pepper and Coulson arrived on the scene

The beautiful redhead ran over to Tony, clearly worried, while Coulson approached Harrison

"Mr. Evans, is everything in order?" he asks, looking at Obadiah's body

The young genius nodded and replied

"Everything in order Phil, the intruder was neutralized, I guess Obadiah was the one who sold weapons to the terrorists?"

The agent nodded heavily, the mere thought of the paperwork ahead of him making his head hurt

An instant later, a support drone approached and spoke

"Mr. Evans, mistress Lily is constantly calling with concern, insisting that you call her back."

Harrison nodded, it would be better if he reassured his beloved mother

"I'll leave the remains in your capable hands" and at that very moment, Harrison's personal car was flying into the living room, with Emma and Natasha waiting for him inside

The beautiful redhead waved to Phil, who returned the greeting as Harrison entered the vehicle

"I want another meeting, I have many ideas, we can change the world" Tony shouted with determination

Harrison responded

“I'll have Nat send you an appointment, we're in touch”

And an instant later, the car flew out of the picture, leaving behind resigned agents, a millionaire with big plans, and a horde of reporters who wanted to know that he had disrupted the Evans Technologies conference

Harrison had faced a fucking three-meter-tall robot calmly, however, now it was time to face something really terrifying

Lily Evans

Lily Evans, Evans Tower

Lily watched her son's car land gently at his penthouse, and the redhead couldn't help but have mixed feelings

Harry was so...James, and a part of her hated that notion with fervor

James, like Harrison, was charismatic, a genius for business, with great social skills

However, ...

He was also manipulative, ambitious, and ruthless to his enemies

Qualities that Lily had begun to see in Harrison, and she didn't like them at all

"I'm fine mom," Harrison exclaimed as he opened his arms and hugged her

Lily returned the hug with force, but said nothing, at least for the moment

"See you tomorrow dear, I have business to attend to at home, Nat will go with me to avoid...problems with my father”

Harrison nodded, assigned Mark as a driver and protection for both women, and a moment later, they both flew off to the Frost mansion

"Two women Harrison?" Lily asked with disappointment evident in her voice

The young man looked at his mother and replied

"Emma is simply a partner and..." however, Lily interrupted him fiercely

"Don't lie to me son, I've known you all your life and although you've developed a great mask for the world, for me you're still that curious little boy who wanted to reach the moon and write your name on it."

Harrison blushed at his mother's words, but sighed heavily and replied

"Yes, Emma is my woman as much as Nat”

Lily nodded and sighed

"I don't like it Harry, I know it's unfair, but I had expectations for you, a good woman, a couple of children, a simple and happy life."

Harrison frowned, looking at his mother and asked

"Aren't you proud of what I've done, mother?" he asks with a wounded tone

Lily took her beloved son's cheeks gently and replied

"No dear, never think that I am not proud of you, it's just that… you look so much like him, it hurts, it hurts to think that even without being in your life, you carry the Potter blood, for better and for worse”

Harrison frowned and replied

“I am Harrison Evans, no Potter, mom”

Lily smiled, but it was an incomplete, dull-eyed one, full of pain and regrets

"I know, my dear, though, you also have the Potter blood, with all that implies, tell me, was it necessary to buy Frost Industries?" Or did you just do it to eliminate a man who was in your way in the corporate world? Or when we both know that, you could charge a hundred dollars a session and you'd have black numbers with your Gaia chambers or maybe your Sky Cars? Which could do a lot of good to the world, and you limit them to maximize your profits?” Lily challenge with determination

Harrison looked at his mother in surprise, every word was like a dagger in the chest, although Lily was proud of his success and supported him, it was evident that she also had something that broke Harrison

Disappointment

Lily Evans was disappointed that her beloved son, the cheerful, smiling boy she raised with dreams of being an astronaut and helping people, had become a ruthless businessman who prioritized money over humankind

That was a very…Potter thing to do

And that revelation threw Harrison off completely, his legs trembled and without being able to do anything about it, his legs gave way

However, his beloved mother, who had always been there for him, held him in her arms, not allowing him to fall to the ground

Lily's beautiful eyes were crying with a look lost in space

"To your father, I was an object, a simple whore to be used at will, he controls my life and rule my mind, I was a simple bitch to his whims, the favorite mare of James Potter's stable," Lily spoke with a lost look, ignoring the growing fury on her son's face

“and I am concerned that, every day I see more Harrison Potter, James Potter's firstborn, and less Harry Evans, my little boy, my beautiful boy with a heart of gold, who cared about the well-being of others”

And at that moment, something inside Harry snapped, with teary eyes, screamed

“ENOUGH” as his magic got out of control, causing various objects to start levitating all over the room

To the young businessman's surprise, his mother simply looked resigned, with a sad smile

"You even inherited his power," Lily murmured in a broken voice, no doubt remembering the humiliations to which James Potter subjected her with that same gift

"He can't do anything to you mom, I'll take care of that, he'll never get close to you," Harrison swore as he held his mother's hands tightly, unable to hold back his tears

Lily simply took her son's face with infinite sweetness and whisper

"Just promise me something my love, that no matter what happens, your ambitions and goals and your love life, that you will never forget who you are."

Harrison looked at her, not quite understanding what she meant

“Not a billionaire business genius, not the most coveted bachelor in the world, not "the black lion"

Lily kissed his forehead, a gesture of love that completely disarmed Harrison and ended with a simple whisper

"Never forget, that you are a good man, in this dark world, choose to be a beacon of hope for people, my love"

And what little self-control he had vanished, at that moment, the feared and respected black lion and “the man who won” disappeared 

And both Harry Potter and Harrison Evans cried in their mother's arms, as they had never done before, clinging to the hard, but necessary words

"I'm sorry for disappointing you, mom, I'm so sorry," Harrison murmured hugging Lily tightly

"You didn't do it son, you didn't, I've always been proud of you and I will be until the last of my days," murmured the beautiful woman

No one said a word, silence reigned in the lion's den

“If you will be with both young ladies or with as many you decide to be, appreciate them, give them their place, respect them and love them”

Harrison nodded

"I promise," he murmured as they fell into comfortable silence

Things would change at Evans Technologies the next day, it seems

Matt Simons, Queens, New York

"How did it go?" asked Sara, his wife with hope on her face

Matt shook his head, as he sat on his couch and placed his hands on his head

"The application was denied, apparently, without my job, we won't be able to cover the fees," the man blurted out in frustration

It was the second time they had applied for Evans insurance, and the second time it had been rejected, and although the insurance was not expensive, due to the layoffs at Frost Industries, Matt had lost his job, so he did not qualify for coverage

the problem? Samuel, his son, who was in stage four of stomach cancer, and the only hope was the Gaia cameras, that artifact that was capable of curing any disease

And which could only be accessed by purchasing Evans Technologies insurance

Of course, it was really cheap insurance, ten thousand dollars a year for family coverage was a fucking bargain, however, the situation was so bad that they couldn't afford even that

Sarah, full of anguish, asked.

"What will we do Matt?" with a broken voice, looking at her husband in despair

And the worst, that he had no answer

He recalled that shady offer, contacts from his old life who were organizing to steal a Gaia camera and sell it for millions of dollars to competitors

If he made a few calls he could participate, and heal Samuel

However, before continuing with those dangerous thoughts, he received an unexpected call

“Good afternoon, Am I speaking with Matthew Simons? I’m Danielle Winters, Chief Human Resources Officer at Evans Technologies”

Overwhelmed and surprised, Matt responded politely

“The reason for my call is to study your application for Evans insurance, apparently, there will be a change in the company's policies, and although you do not qualify for the insurance at this time, your profile perfectly matches one of our vacancies as a specialized machinery operator, and thanks to the new policy, now all employees are entitled to the Evans insurance completely free,  Are you willing to take the job?”

Matt completely plumbed, scream

“YES! YES! I WILL TAKE THE JOB AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY, REALLY, THANK YOU! YOU WON'T REGRET IT," the man shouted as he fell to his knees and tears flowed uncontrollably

“Perfect, if you could show up at Black Rock as soon as possible, you will be registered in the system and your family will be affiliated with the Evans network of healing centers, effective immediately”

"I'M GOING THERE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, REALLY!” shouted the man, as the call ended

Sarah looked at him with confusion and hope

"Who was my love?"

Matt responded

"Evans Technologies HR, they offered me a job, one that includes full coverage in Evans Insurance for the whole family, they want me there as soon as possible," whispered Matt overwhelmed

Sara smiled happily and hugged her husband, both full of relief

"Come on, I'll get Samuel ready, you have to get there as soon as possible, put on a suit, you have to make a good impression, come on, come on," Sara ordered with a huge smile

Without wasting much time, the Simons family got ready in their best, humble but neat clothes and headed for the Rock, as everyone in the city called the Evans Technologies building

As they got closer, the buildings began to look more luxurious, the streets cleaner and more manicured, they were in the black neighborhood, the residential area closest to the tower, where Evans Technologies workers lived

In a short time, they reached the black bridge and the imposing and beautiful tower was present

"It's more incredible from up close," Samuel murmured

"It is, son," murmured the father, who noticed something strange, there was an unusual influx, many people were coming to the tower, entire families, many poor people, like them

"Apparently, Harrison Evans is hiring massively," Sara murmured, as they arrived at the main entrance of the beautiful and futuristic tower, where they were greeted by a kind of flying robot

“A DRONE!” Samuel shouted with emotion

"Welcome, name and reason of your visit, please," he asked kindly

"Matt Simons, ahhh I got a call for a job offer," he replied cautiously, praying that it wasn't a joke

The lights of the drone glowed many colors for an instant, until they stopped in green

“Matt Simons, approved prospect for Black Frost Model 1001 Heavy Haul Unit Operator, welcome, your presence indicates that you have accepted the position, congratulations!” exclaimed the drone as the lights changed color

The strange robot then began scanning the entire family, detecting certain health problems

“Matt Simons, iron deficiency and low in minerals, a change of diet is recommended, Gaia chamber not required”

“Sara Simons, vitamin D deficiency, fifteen-minute walk in the sun recommended for five days, Gaia camera not required”

“Samuel Simons, stomach cancer, stage four metastasis in forty percent, total organ failure imminent, priority one, I repeat, priority one”

The light from the drone changed to a red color, at the same time an alarm began to sound and a pair of doctors in Evans Technologies gowns approached

“All right, Missy?” asked one

“Priority patient one, I share report”

Matt watched in amazement as his son was escorted by the medical staff, accompanied by Sara, to the healing wing, as did other thousands of people who were being treated in the tower, entire families were crying with happiness and relief, singing and cheering the name of Harrison Evans with joy

After all, they weren't stupid

Harrison Evans didn't need more employees, he was just helping them, a billionaire, using his wealth to help people

Something he never thought he would see, to be honest

And Matt, at that moment, swore complete loyalty to Mr. Evans, as did the thousands of new employees, who would have access to a better life

Few suspected the great repercussions that this act of charity would have in the future, since Harrison Evans had spent money, he did not need in exchange for something that he would form without any intention

The absolute loyalty of an entire society

An army

Jean Grey, X-Manor

"Perfect," Jean murmured, as she finished putting on makeup and looking at herself in the mirror, nodding approvingly at what she saw

She was spectacular

Dressed in a beautiful, tight green dress below the knee, with elegant silver heels, Jean had dressed to dazzle

"You look amazing, Jean," Ororo murmured entering her room, watching her from head to toe

“Thank you!” replied the redhead with a blush, but obviously pleased, quite excited about her date

"Is Harrison here yet?" asked the young redhead

Storm nodded softly

"That's right, he's in the infirmary with Hank doing some tests on Rogue, apparently Mr. Evans is familiar with a case similar to Marie's and thinks he can help her."

"That would be great! Marie would really appreciate it, it would solve many of her problems."

"Come on, I'm sure Harrison will lose his breath seeing you dear" Ororo replied and both beautiful women began to walk, Jean attracting attention wherever she passed

The dress was gorgeous, a Jean choice that highlighted her beautiful butt, slender waist, and not at all modest breasts, but without losing elegance

Along the way, Ororo advised Jean, that the important thing was to have a good time and that if at any time she did not feel safe, she simply used the communicator and they would rescue her

But Jean was sure that it wouldn't be necessary, for some reason, to be around Harrison was just exhilarating, something inside her was singing and screaming with joy at being in his simple presence, it was a whole new feeling for the redhead

One that scared her almost as much as it made her feel alive

In a short time, both women arrived at the infirmary, where they watched as Harrison used a device from his arm while scanning an anxious Rogue from head to toe, while Professor Hank muttered in wonder at the artifact

"Simply incredible, the versatility of that tool is simply incomparable," the man muttered

"Did you find anything, Dr. Evans?" Anna asked with anguish in her voice

Harrison continued to move his fingers at full speed on the holographic screens on his wrist

"Your mutation is quite similar to one I studied in the past, your powers are activated through the skin, it is possible to create a telepathic device that allows you to control it at will, I will build a prototype and bring it for the next session," Harrison reported, as he finished making notes, only to be tackled by a female missile, who wept gratefully

"Thank you, thank you really," murmured the young woman, clinging to the hope of getting some normality

For an instant, the fire inside Jean roared possessively, watching another woman touch her mate, but she quickly suppressed it, seeing Harrison simply pat Rogue's head, affectionately, but nothing more

"Don't worry, you have nothing to be thankful for, I'll bring the device along with Scott's new contact lenses next week," Harrison promised, at the same time looking towards the entrance, losing his breath at what he saw

"Oh my god" he murmured with his eyes wide open

Jean watched smugly as Harrison's eyes devoured her from head to toe, emerald orbs glittering with desire and then some

Harrison walked gently towards her, like a tiger stalking its prey, took Jean's hand and gave her a soft and elegant kiss, full of a thousand feelings

"There are no words in this world that are capable of accurately describing your beauty, Miss Grey, you are the embodiment of feminine perfection, an earthly goddess kissed by eternal flames," Harrison murmured, to the pleasure and embarrassment of Jean, who could not help but blush completely, but it was evident that she was pleased at Harrison’s reaction, something inside her purred with pleasure as she heard eternal flames

"Apparently, I must dress up to the task," Harrison murmured, and Jean watched in amazement and approval as the black lion's casual attire faded, giving way to an elegant but youthful black suit which contrasted exquisitely with his beautiful eyes

"Shall we go, my lady?" Harrison murmured as he extended his hand to Jean, who took it with elegance and desire

"Let's go, my lord," joked the young woman

They both said goodbye to everyone and went to where Harrison's car was, the black lion opened the door for his date and in an instant, the vehicle rose towards the city, without noticing the sad and defeated eyes hidden behind ruby glasses

"Where will we go, Harry?" Jean asked as she made herself comfortable, leaning her body towards that of the handsome young man

Harrison laughed softly and replied

"It will be a special dinner, I have a reservation at an amazing restaurant in Malibu, Tony recommended it to me," Harrison reported with a smile

Jean looked at him with amusement and replied

"Don't lie! We're going east, not west," the beautiful redhead reported with fearless amusement

In response, Harrison simply smiled enigmatically and spoke

"We'll get there, soon," and a second later he said

"Hermione, give me the manual control" that sentence excited and worried Jean, who kept looking at Harrison with expectation

"At your command, Mr. Evans, pressurizing cabin, activating atmospheric flight," replied a mechanical female voice, at the same time that the car began to change, the steering wheel changed by a couple of levers, and the screens began to show an image of the route to follow

Jean looked with excitement that the route set was through the atmosphere!

Harrison would take her to space on their first date, that would be hard to beat in the future

"Hold on, my dear," warned the handsome tycoon, at the same time that the Black Fang's speed increased, filling Jean with adrenaline, at the same time that the clouds began to be left behind and the beautiful immense emptiness of space became visible

Jean looked at Harrison with aroused eyes, grateful for the choice of naughty underwear, she was sure Harrison would appreciate the tight green thong later

"I bet you can't get to Malibu in less than five minutes," challenged the redhead with intense eyes

Harrison laughed and answered

“And what are you willing to bet?”

Jean smiled flirtatiously, as she approached Harrison's ear and answered 

"Win and find out" with a tone full of promise and lust, the young redhead felt more alive than ever and adored that feeling

Harrison smiled and sped up, he had a bet to win, after all
