I was standing off to the side with Natasha, watching the other SHIELD Agents load up Dumbledore's group and the Weasley family onto the Quinjet. It was pretty funny seeing a bunch of magicals wearing Muggle handcuffs.
"Be careful with him." I told the Agents as I pointed to the unconscious Dumbledore. "He might be able to do some magic without his wand, but I don't know how much. Also, that one can turn himself into a black dog without a wand, and that one is a werewolf that will transform into a man-eating monster on the full moon." I pointed to Sirius and Remus next. The Agents nodded and told me they'd put those three in special containment rooms until they could be sorted out.
"We heard about werewolves when we took the Alley, but I've yet to see one in action." Natasha said as she watched them load Remus on the jet.
"I haven't seen the transformation in person either. It's supposed to be pretty gross." I explained. I imagine it must be, considering muscles and bones have to snap in order to re-contort themselves.
"So other than the…women, what have you been up to?" Natasha asked me. "You're a lot faster than you were before. Unless you were holding back then?"
In response, I let my ten wings show behind me.
Natasha stared at them in surprise. "Ten!? I thought you had four?" She asked me while inspecting them closely.
"I did have four wings. But then I ran into numerous fortuitous encounters and managed to ascend to the higher realms." I said jokingly. "My Dao is as deep as the sea and vast as the sky."
Natasha cracked a rare smile. "Nice try, Layla. I know cultivators aren't real. Ki isn't a real thing…"
"Well, actually–"
"Agent Romanoff! Miss Layla!" A SHIELD Agent ran up to us and interrupted me before I could once again break her worldview. "All prisoners have been secured for transport. The remains of the shack have been fully searched, and all the people buried in the debris have been rounded up as well. A few of them were injured, but none fatally."
"That's good," Natasha said. "I suppose we're done here then?"
"Also, ma'am, there is a little girl wanting to talk to you and Miss Layla. She says that she's Weasley's neighbor and has some important information to share." the guy said before he pointed off towards the front of the Weasley property.
I looked over, and standing over there was a younger blonde girl. I could tell by her iconic radish earrings that it was Luna Lovegood. She gave us a small wave before her eyes started to wander all over as if she was seeing things that no one else could.
I walked over towards her with Natasha right behind me. Natasha was the first to address her.
"Hello. I'm Agent Monroe. And who are you?" Natasha asked her while lying about her real name like the spy she was.
Luna snapped her gaze away from whatever she was looking at and back to us. "Hello Natasha Romanoff and Layla of the Fallen. I'm Luna Lovegood. I live right down the road." Luna said while pointing to the right. There were some hills there, so I couldn't see her house, but it wouldn't be hard to confirm.
Natasha blanched when Luna said her real name out of nowhere. She looked like she was ready to start interrogating the girl, but I put my hand on her shoulder and held her back. "So, Luna. The Agent you talked to told us you have some important information for us?" I asked her while using [observe].
[Luna Lovegood: The Girl Who Knows Things→ Level 6]
That was interesting. She had an actual title at only level 6. That meant her Seer abilities had to be for real.
"Yes. Something very bad is going to happen soon in Scotland unless you stop them." Luna said while looking off to the side again.
Natasha narrowed her eyes. "What bad thing?"
Luna turned to me. "The Dark Lord is scared of you, you know. He's really scared. You survived his strongest spells twice and then thoroughly trounced him the third time you all met. He correctly assumes that you have gotten even stronger still since then. He knows he can't beat you."
I smirked proudly. "That's good then!" Although I don't want him hiding away like a coward forever. He's worth 5 levels on top of being an evil asshole that I would happily purge for free anyway.
[Guys like him don't hide forever. They go crazy and choose to go out while taking as many people with them as possible.]
Shit, the system was right about that one. Voldemort knew he couldn't beat me, so his only option was to become a full terrorist at this point. But how would he go about doing that?
"What is he planning?" Natasha asked Luna. She didn't even bother asking how a barely 14-year-old girl knew all of this in the first place.
"He wants to fight Light with Fire." Luna said cryptically. "It's going to happen here." Luna then reached into a small pouch before pulling out a picture book that was way too big to fit in there. It was a book about the Scottish Highlands. She pointed towards a specific location in the book.
"I know where that is. I'll call in another Quinjet, and we can fly over there and check it out." Natasha said.
"There's no need for that. I'll just portal us over there." I could easily do that with a picture of the place. I opened up a purple portal next to us.
"Good luck! I hope you don't die." Luna gave us a dreamy smile, and she turned around and started skipping away back towards her house.
