153 153. Meeting Peter

"CHEERS" They all clanked their glasses and drank in one go.

Alexander stood up. "Everyone, thank you for coming for help. We are the Defenders of the Universe and should stick to helping each other. Ancient One, Michael, Odin. Thank you. Jean, you too."

"It is our duty to rid the world of such demons," Michael spoke.

"I agree. His existence was doing more damage to the world than good," Ancient One added.

They talked, ate, and laughed for a while before everyone started to disperse. But Alexander stopped Jean, Ancient One, and Odin from leaving.

"What's the matter grandpa?" Jean asked.

"I wanted to talk to you all about the 7th infinity stone. Called the Ego stone or gem. I know that it's in a place called Ultraverse. Do any of you know how to enter it?" Alexander asked.

He wanted to get stronger and what can be better than the seventh infinity stone. It was said that there was a time when all the infinity gems were one single being called Nemesis. Then the being got bored and willed itself to be divided into seven stones. The 6 came into the Marvel world and the 7th stayed in Ultraverse. The 7th stone actually had the consciousness of Nemesis. If you combined all the stones with it then Nemesis would be reborn. Alexander had no plans of bringing it back, but he was going to consume the stone.

He had realized that he was not strong enough as compared to the Marvel Universe's standards.

Phoenix was intrigued by the question and spoke through Jean. "I've heard of it. A long, long time ago. It's a rumor that the path to Ultraverse is inside the unimaginably huge black hole at the center of the universe. Even beings like me don't go near it as we don't know how it would affect us. And whoever ventured into it never came out."

"Yes, I've heard the same." Odin agreed.

Ancient One didn't know about it, but she did have lots of knowledge about dimensions.

"From your description of this Ultraverse. It seems like it's a higher realm than ours. I've known about one of them. A long time ago one of our Sorcerer Supreme also ventured into it and never came back." She added.

Alexander thought for a second. "Then I have nothing to worry about. I have various ways to make sure that I don't die and come back. If any problem arises, I can simply consume the black hole in my magic reserve."

"It is a very dangerous thing you are planning, my friend," Odin warned.

"I know Odin, but we need to do it. We need more strength if we want to keep peace in the Universe. You all know that there are beings many times stronger than the Beast. Just take Dormammu for an example. Or what if the Elder God turned evil, Chthon comes back? I can't imagine his power." He reasoned.

His words put them in contemplation.

"Okay then. I trust you. I know you are unkillable. You could have dealt with the Beast as well, given the time. But it is also true that we are still weak." Odin stated.

They all agreed and started to leave. Before Jean left Alexander talked to the Phoenix, "I have the M'Kraan Crystal in my possession now. If you come to your White Hot Room, don't be surprised."

Phoenix was surprised, but nonetheless happy. The crystal was in much safer hands now than ever.

Phoenix thanked him and left with Jean.

Stark Industries

Obadiah Stane, the CEO of Stark Industries had never thought in his wildest dreams that war would bring so much profit to the company. And him too.

For the past few years, he's been secretly selling weapons to a terrorist organization in Afghanistan (He doesn't know they are the Ten Rings). The profit gained from them was his and only his. To him, Tony was a naive fool who would never find out about it.

His main ambition was to own Stark Industries. But there was a problem. Tony owned 36 percent of the company and is its biggest shareholder. Then there was the mysterious 15 percent owner, the second biggest holder. He only had meager 5 percent. He had already somehow made other shareholders sell their part to him. Now he had 15%. But it wasn't possible to buy more. The only way left now was if Tony died. Tony didn't have an heir and he was closest to him so it would be easier for him to gather Tony's shares.

*Knock Knock*

His secretary walked in, "Sir, I have found a small lead on the mysterious shareholder. He goes by the name, Old Man and is very hard to find. We don't know how to contact him."

"*Sigh* keep on looking, we must find him. Where is Tony?" Obadiah asked.

"Umm... He's working on the new missile, sir."

"Okay, you can go." He dismissed his assistant and relaxed down in his seat, thinking about the future.

...

Alexander was preparing for his new adventure to the Ultraverse. He wanted to be prepared for everything. His supersoldier Serum was good, but it needed him to constantly train. He could theoretically get stronger without limitations with it. But he needed more power for now. He had the Sentry Serum in his mind but he found out that it was never invented. The reason was simple. Sentry Serum was created by scientists who worked on Project Rebirth. After Erskine died, they all should have gone different ways but he hired them in Nevaeh Industries, which altered their fates.

Now he only had one option. Gather the power stone again and recharge his Apec as much as he can.

*Ring Ring*

Alexander picked up the call from Nevaeh Industries. "Sir, we have a sad news. Richard and Mary Parker were found dead. It's all been set up as a plane accident."

*Sigh*

Alexander had let Richard and Mary work in the Nevaeh Industries. Even though he knew they were Shield agents. He wanted to stop their deaths. But they were sent on to investigate something in Russia and eventually died in this timeline as well.

"Alright, prepare a check of 2 million dollars as their company insurance. I will go and give it to May Parker. Knowing her, she would let the money sit in the bank for little Peter and only use the interest they'll receive." He ordered.

"Yes, sir. It'll be done."

...

Alexander went to 20 Ingram St. That's where May Parker lived. She didn't have children so She treated Peter like her own child. But the news of Richard and Mary had broken her heart. She didn't know how to tell it to Peter.

*Doorbell*

May Parker opened the door (May from new movies).

"Yes?"

"I am from Nevaeh Industries. I have come to settle the insurance. Can I come in?" Alexander politely asked and showed her his ID.

After checking it she invited him, "Yes, please."

Alexander followed her to the living room. He was suddenly greeted by the sight of our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Currently 5 years old.

Peter was playing with toy cars in the corner. Peter's parents were always busy with work so the boy mostly spent his time at Ben's home.

"Vroom Vroom... Mr. Burglar, you are under arrest."

Alexander slowly walked to little Peter and sat down beside him.

"Hello, Peter. What are you playing?" Alexander warmly asked.

Peter quickly looked back at May to ask if he could talk with the stranger. After receiving a nod from her, he spoke.

"I am playing Cops and Robbers." He said.

Alexander looked down and the toys were worn out. It seems May hadn't found good jobs yet.

"You, know. I have a gift for you." Alexander muttered and acted like he was taking something out of his bag. He finally took out a police car toy.

"Here, play with this."

Peter excitedly took it and started playing. Then he suddenly remembered he didn't say thank you. "Thank you, Grandpa"

Alexander patted the intelligent boy and went to talk to May.

"So, according to the company's insurance policy, Peter is entitled to 2 million dollars. Here's the cheque." He handed it over.

May was shocked, "So much money. Why?"

"Richard and Mary worked in our science division. It's company policy that they all be insured by the company. You can use this money for Peter. It'll be helpful when he grows up and goes to College." He suggested.

She thought about his words and looked at giggling Peter. May nodded and grabbed Alexander's hand.

"Thank you, we can now at least make sure that he'll have a good life." She tearfully said.

Alexander shook his head, "It's the right thing to do. I should take my leave now, by the way, call this number if you are looking for a job. It's Nevaeh Industries' hiring department's number. Take care."

Peter saw him leaving so he came to say bye, "Bye Bye Grandpa. Thank you for the toy"

He chuckled and left the family alone.
