212. That's Why I Do What I Do

According to the MCU. The civil war should be occurring right now. But instead of that, there was a wedding going on in Asgard.

Steve was attending the wedding with Peggy, she was pregnant currently. Even Bucky was there. In short, the Civil War was canceled.

Currently, all the guests had arrived for the wedding that would occur the next day. Weddings were more like a carnival in Asgard. Even more so when the people found out that the Prince Loki and Granddaughter of the Elder, princess Medusa were getting married. The whole Asgard turned into a giant party.

It was evening and everyone had gathered at the great hall for the feast. Odin stood up to make the announcement and start the feast. On the long table sat everyone from Alexander's and Odin's family. Plus the Stark Family as Tony and Pepper were getting married too.

"Hahaha... I won't lie, since the day I heard my son and our princess Medusa were in love, I was hoping for this day to come. And now it finally has, with the blessings of my dear friend. Our friendship is going to turn into kinship.

"And we are not just having one marriage but two. My other friend, Howard's kid, is getting married as well. This makes this moment of happiness even more enjoyable.

"So, let's lose ourselves in food and wine as the night is young and we have just started." He picked up his goblet of Firewhiskey and gestured to start.

The crowd cheered loudly and started eating like crazy. There was a lot of food from both Earth and Asgardian cuisine.

Alexander and Odin sat in the middle and talked happily.

"So, what will happen after the marriage? I mean, you will probably leave this reality someday." Odin asked.

*Sigh* "I honestly don't know, I don't want to force her to follow me but if she doesn't, it would really make me sad. However, I have nothing else that I can do. She is free to make her own decisions. I will always be proud of her."

Alexander emotionally said. Odin saw it and cheered him up, "Ah, let's not get all gloomy now. Let's eat."

...

The next day, the wedding ceremony took place. Tony had named Vision as his best man. Pepper was content with that. On the other hand, Thor was Loki's best man.

Everyone had gathered in the royal garden. Alexander looked at Medusa with gloomy eyes. He was remembering all his encounters with her.

The time when he found her in the chambers. The time when she saw trees for the first time and rolled in mud in joy. The time when she became humanoid and called him Grandpa for the first time.

All those memories just made him remember how big of a part she had become in his life. She was his first adopted Granddaughter.

He looked at Rina who was chomping on food. ~Ah, I feel relaxed knowing she won't marry anyone.~

Then he looked at his sweetest Amy. He knew that Amy was an intelligent girl and would someday fall in love with someone. It nearly gave him anxiety thinking that.

Then he looked at his tsundere, Hela. That was the only granddaughter he was sure about that even if she found some man she would never forget him.

Hela never showed it but she loved Alexander like he was her real blood-related father. It was only because she was already used to calling him Grandpa that she didn't call him Father.

~Now that I think, hearing papa from her doesn't sound bad.~ he smilingly thought.

His son, Leonidas, was a different case. Leonidas was already very strong and wouldn't grow stronger anymore if he remained in the Marvel world. So it was normal for him to come with him.

"Alex...Alex..." He heard someone calling him. He came out of the dreamland and saw Oli standing in front of him.

"What happened, you look zoned out." She asked.

"Ah, I just got a bit too emotional. Everything's fine." He explained.

"You should smile, or else Medusa will think you don't like her decision." She told him.

Hearing that Alexander quickly became alert and his always kind face reappeared. In no way was he going to make his dear Medusa sad.

"Haha... Yeah, that's like my old boy. Now come, the ceremony is near to the end." she dragged him.

After that, the bride and groom kissed and sealed the deal. Tony and Pepper also kissed at the same time. A loud round of cheers erupted in the garden.

Soon it was feast time again. Alexander walked to Loki who was away from Medusa currently.

"You really did it. You stayed true to her and I commend you for that." Alexander praised.

"Thank you, father. I really love her." Loki said.

"It's still sir for you. You have won my permission to marry her. You still have to win the right to call me grandpa. Stay loyal to her and you might just achieve that as well." He stated.

Loki nodded continuously, "Yes, sir."

"Also, don't forget. If you betray her trust, I will find you and remove your existence from space and time. Now, come here and give me a hug." Alexander pulled him closer.

In reality, he was doing it because he had sensed Medusa coming. He didn't have anything against Loki but it was still too hard to trust him. Loki wasn't really famous for good things in Norse mythology from his world.

After that, the feast went on and soon everyone started to leave. It would have consumed too much magic for Bifrost so Alexander let them use the anywhere door to return to their homes.

Medusa was going to stay in Asgard for a bit more time so Alexander left with everyone else.

...

Heaven,

"Lord Zulrak, he has sent an angel to God-son. This may be some new trick of his." High Angel reported.

Zulrak sat on his golden throne. Replication of the one God used, but this one also had some dark aura. "Huh, puny tricks can't change his destiny now. And the angel he sent is good for nothing. Even we didn't take him in for his unusefulness."

"Any order, my Lord?" The High Angel asked.

"Yes, I want you to orchestrate a show for me. It's time we end this... God-son." Zulrak said deviously.

Due to his powerful ability to persuade anyone to do anything, the High Angel just agreed and noted everything he was required to do without any questions asked.

...

Earth,

After the wedding, Alexander returned to his duties as the president. He was currently reprimanding Fury. It was very rare but Alexander was angry right now.

"WHY THE HELL Am I STILL GETTING REPORTS OF TERRORISM?" He loudly asked.

"Sir, we are doing our best..." Fury tried to clarify.

"Oh, don't give me that. I am not your council. I gave you a free hand to deal with all of them. For god's sake, you had access to all advanced weaponry, superheroes, Ghost, and even faceless men. You just had ONE DAMN JOB." He reprimanded.

Howard, who was sitting in a chair, relaxedly looked at Fury with disappointment. He may act friendly with Fury but he was still a big boss in the Shield as one of its initial members.

"Old man, calm down. It's not Fury to blame. It's the system he's been living in till now. He still considers himself an American first and then a human. He still thinks that it is okay to use poor countries as a testing ground for new war tools." Howard said. He was actually spot on. The shield was meant to be an international peacekeeping organization but Fury was still too American at heart.

Alexander looked at Fury, "You disappointed me, son. Fine, if you don't have balls to do anything then I will do it myself."

Alexander took out his phone and called the Faceless men, "Yes, Jaquen, start project divine. Kill every commanding figure of every terrorist organization... Yes, no matter which country."

He then made another call, "Agent Hill, effective immediately, you are promoted to the Director of Shield. You are to complete what fury couldn't. Fury will only be a Sub director from now on and will not have any say in your decisions."

He then made another call, "Yes, Arnold. I want you to send the Android army for operation Divine. Just for this mission and then they will return."

Once he was done he looked back at Fury, "Get one thing in your skull, Fury. Nobody cares about America. Once someone decides to shoot lasers from space at us they will shoot at the whole planet. We are not Americans, Africans, or Asians. We are just HUMANS. Now go back to your post and do your job."

Once Fury left, Howard spoke, "Was it really that necessary to be so angry?"

"If you had seen the images I received with my morning tea, you would have killed Fury. Look for yourself." He passed on the folder.

Howard opened it and was horrified. There were images of people. Dead people. Not simply dead but tortured. Pictures of malnourished children with nothing but bones left. Even their faces were deformed due to lack of nutrition and their eyes were popping out. There were images of people in iron shackles too, supposedly slaves.

"Faceless men raided a terrorist base and found all this. Shield already knew and turned a blind eye. All because those countries is too profitable if they're kept under a never-ending conflict. I gave Fury one chance and he proved himself unable to do the right thing."

Howard still looked at the images with horror and anger. "You know what's more messed up?"

Alexander looked at him to continue, "The fact that no major T.V news is talking about this. To most of the world, these people don't exist."

*Sigh*

"That is why I do what I do." He calmed himself down.
