166 166. Starks Reunited

It was Alexander Pierce and some other Hydra agents. Brock Rumlow quickly walked to the suitcases to get them. Alexander waved his hand and the suitcases fell into Thor and Leonidas' arms.

Alexander Piece was surely irked by this, "We are happy that you are back, General, but that is the property of Shield."

"Haha... Do you take me for a fool? I know you are a hydra leader. One more thing, I AM SHIELD." All the new soldiers were pressed to their knees and hand and ankle cuffs were put on them.

Alexander's words shocked everyone in the room. Steve was most affected as he gave his life trying to get rid of Hydra.

Alexander walked up to him and patted his shoulder, "It's alright, son. Hydra was too big to begin with. Just killing Schmidt wasn't enough."

Then he looked at everyone, "The Hydra is actually an ancient organization. It was made by the same people who made the Hand, a criminal organization that I destroyed not long ago. This world is filled with secret dangers like these, everyone, and it's our duty to remove them before they can become a problem.

"So I propose the Avengers Initiative. All of you can be a part of it. It won't be mandatory for you to go on missions but when the world is in danger or any other big threat comes, you all would join hands. I will be the head of this so you don't have to worry about any kind of pressure."

His proposal was nothing big. They already had their own teams. He was just making it bigger by combining.

"What about political problems?" Xavier asked.

Alexander thought for a bit. He already had a lot of control over various governments around the world. But he couldn't say that publicly.

"Why don't you just become the President? You'll surely be in a better position to negotiate with the world then." Tony suggested.

Alexander happily looked at him and ruffled his hair, "Hahaha... Good advice, kid. That's what I expected from my great-grandson."

"Alright, everyone. I'll be running for president in the coming election. Let's drink to that." He picked up the glass.

Alexander was already planning everything subconsciously. He was going to have the craziest and most overpowered government to ever exist. Dobby as his V.P. Howard as his Secretary of Defence; Ragnarok as Secretary of Treasury because he was a dragon and also ran his own damn planet; Arnold the General Droid as Secretary of Commerce because what can be better at that than an A.I who could monitor all the world trade at the same time; He still needed a Secretary of state though.

"Boss, reporters are gathering outside. They want your interview." Dobby told him.

Alexander didn't even think and got up. "Bring in the reporter with the best reputation among them. Shoo all the Rita Skeeters away."

Soon a reporter was sent in. He was secretly a Nevaeh Industries man. So Alexander got his interview/statement recorded.

~Time to bulls**t~

"Hello, America and all the people of this world. Some of you must be interested in knowing where I was all this time and how I am still alive.

"Well, for the answer we'll have to go back to when I killed Hitler. When I entered Hitler's bunker that day, he was holding a strange artifact that he wanted to use to gain unimaginable power and cause the world's destruction. But I thankfully caught him in time. What I didn't know was that he had activated the artifact. It consumed me and gave me unimaginable powers. When I woke up again I found out that I was not on Earth anymore.

So I trained, helped those in need in space while looking for a way back. And finally, I came back. Thank god that I came at the right time to stop this alien invasion. So now you have your General Alexander back, better than ever. I will continue serving for the betterment of this planet. God bless you all"

This was just a small introduction. He wasn't going to tell the world everything after all. Also, most of what he said was false so there was no point in dragging it.

After that, he spent some more time with everyone until they all left. In the end, only the Avengers were left. It had already turned night. He had fixed the whole broken part of the city. He had also cleaned up all the alien mess as leaving alien tech on the streets was as good as asking villains to take them.

Dobby was talking to Steve as they knew each other. Leonidas was still talking to Natasha, Alexander was tempted to hear what they've been talking about for so long. Banner had gone to sleep after eating a lot. Clint Barton had gone home. He had a family after all.

Alexander went to Tony who sat alone.

"What are you thinking, kid?" He asked and poured some Firewhiskey for himself.

"At least ask for it. That's an expensive drink you know." Tony complained.

"Haha... You do know you're talking to its creator."

"You know what? I've grown numb to surprises now." Tony shrugged and drank.

"How are you holding up?" Alexander asked.

"*Sigh* Just like everyone else. Hey, old man. Can you tell me some things about dad?" Tony was clearly nervous asking about that.

"Sure, he looked 90 percent like you when he was younger. He wasn't born rich. But he slowly became narcissistic, so there's that. Anyways, he was a good kid. He did a lot for the country. Hah, he also wanted to make flying cars."

Tony smiled, "Let me guess. He was limited by the technology of his time."

Alexander laughed, "Haha yes yes. But he became too serious as he grew old."

"Yeah, he did. But I'm thankful for that. That's what made me what I am today. But I wish I had not fought him that day." Tony sadly recalled the last time he had talked to them.

"Hmmm... What would you do if your mom and dad were to walk in from that door?" Alexander frankly asked.

Tony took it as a joke, "Then I'll dance on the bar without a shirt and pants."

Suddenly a voice came. "Then you better be prepared, son." The door opened and someone in Ironman-like suit entered.

Howard was in his Iron Mage suit. Tony looked confused and alerted.

"Who are you?"

Howard removed the mask, "Is that how you talk to your father?"

Tony's jaw fell at that moment. His face lost all the color like he just saw a ghost. Howard had asked Alexander to make him look a bit older from outside. He didn't want to appear younger than his son.

"Dad?" Tony questioned.

"Mom is here too, Tony." Maria walked in with little Antonia's hand in her hand.

Tony quickly looked at both of them alternatively and finally asked Alexander. "Are they real, old man? Or is this your magic?"

Alexander shook his head, "They are as real as you and me."

Tony then looked back at his father. He remembered that the man helped him even when he wasn't with him. If it weren't for his dad he'd be dead from palladium poisoning.

He ran to the now unarmed Howard and hugged him tightly, there were some tears in his eyes. Steven, Leo, and others had left the place to give some privacy.

"I am sorry, Dad. I was a dick back then. I love you, dad," He finally said what he always wanted to but regretted not saying when he had time.

Howard was also not the same now. He had changed. He was much more empathic now. Mostly because he had a new daughter.

He also hugged Tony tightly, "I love you too. I was too harsh on you, Tony. Forgive me."

His words brought the well-needed warmth to Tony's injured heart.

"Mommy, who is that uncle?" Little Tina asked Maria.

Tony heard her and realized that the little girl was his sister. He walked to his mother and hugged her first. Maria gave him kisses, embarrassing him.

"Mommy, I want kissy too" Tina enviously looked at Tony and Maria.

It made both Tony and Maria laugh. Tony quickly picked her up.

"Hey, little sister. I am your big brother Tony. Do you want kisses?" He asked.

Tina concentrated on Tony's face and saw a glimpse of Howard. Which was enough to convince her. She happily threw her hands in the air in excitement.

"Yayyyy... New big brotha" she kissed him on his cheek.

Howard also came close and the family stood together, smiling and talking. Alexander felt happy that he had brought such happiness to them and went ahead to join in.
