Summary
The drive with Vernon was the coldly silent type, this time. Harry stared out the window as the car bore him away from the magical world and felt the numbness begin to creep over him. He hated it here, of course. But what he hated most of all was the feeling of helplessness. He couldn’t do anything. He could only… exist, and wait for the summer to end.
If I could just... vanish, Harry thought idly.
For some reason the idea caught in his mind, like a jagged fingernail on fabric.
I- I really could disappear. One corner of his mouth quirked. I even have the cloak for it.
He pressed his head hard against the car window frame and pretended he was elsewhere. Anywhere else. Forever.

Bookmarker's Notes
Entertaining fix-its for the 'idiot plot' aspects of Harry's story.
“I’m just picturing, Moony,” Sirius said, almost dreamily, “the front page of the Prophet, with the image of young Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets, writing up his fucking ridiculous super secret name for all to see.” -

Winter Soldier variation with a less feral Bucky.
Worth reading for the tear-jerking "I want to go home" passage. You can skip the sex scenes. -

Summary
I had a limited number of my humans to choose from for this. The only ones of my humans available in this particular instance were Mensah, Arada, and Gurathin. Of the options, I selected the one who would never, ever want to talk to me about it later.
I enabled my "act like a human" code in full as I descended on Gurathin. The only warning I gave him was an abrupt Look natural in our private feed before I -- ugh -- put my arm very suddenly around his shoulders.

Totally unbelievable premise, but excellent comic situations and banter. Entertaining to add Blair and Jim to the Marvel Mix.
