581 581. Daddy's home
*Knock Knock*
It was a moment Hughes had been waiting for a long time. When he was shot by Envy, he had thought he'd never get to see his family again. But, he was grateful to a certain god for being present there and helping him.
"At least wait for them to open the door before you cry," Alexander said as he stood behind Hughes.
"I just... can't... contain the excitement," Hughes said while crying.
Alexander just sighed and stood back. Soon, the door opened.
"DADDY?" even before Elicia opened the door, she was calling for him. She had been doing this every time someone comes to their place. She expects her dad to appear at any moment. And this was the moment.
"AWWWW... my Elicia, my honeypot, my little angel. Daddy is back." Hughes quickly hugged his daughter in his arms.
Elicia seemed shocked though as she was not expecting it really to be her dad. But after 3 seconds, she started crying loudly.
"Daddy, where were you? I missed you so much. Mommy said you would never come back but I knew our secret. *Sniff* Will you stay now, Daddy?" She cried with a runny nose.
Hughes patted her back and kissed her on the cheeks. "Yes, Daddy is here to stay now."
"Yayyy..." She cheered and again hugged him tightly.
He picked her up and went inside the house. "Gracia, where are you?"
"Oh, mommy is in her room. She's sleeping. She said she feels bad in the head." Elicia told him.
~She hasn't been able to get out of the shock it seems.~ Alexander deduced and walked in.
"Hello, little Elicia." He spoke.
Elicia looked at him carefully, "Who are you?"
"I am Grandpa Universe. I am your dad's boss. You know what, Elicia. I am giving your dad a big holiday. He will take you out on a long trip now." Alexander said.
"I am?" Hughes asked as he had no knowledge of this plan.
Elicia's face lit up with that revelation.
Soon, due to the commotion, Gracia also came out of her room. But then she just stood there while looking at Hughes. Then she rubbed her eyes to make sure she was not hallucinating.
"I'm real, Gracia. I'm back." Hughes greeted her.
But, how can it be so easy to accept that the person you loved so much, whom you knew had died now had suddenly been revived?
"Mommy, didn't I tell you. Daddy is back now and grandpa says we can go on a big holiday. Let's pack bags," Elicia excitedly explained in little detail.
"But... how?" Gracia's face was still in shock.
"I really died that day. And I would have stayed dead if it were not for the old man here. He saved me and helped me get stronger. We had found out the plot of Bradley and I needed to go into hiding for a while." Hughes explained to her.
"He played a big part in defeating the enemies," Alexander said, trying to make it less of a problem for Hughes to explain.
"Is this true?" Gracia asked as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Hughes nodded only and in an instant, Gracia was hugging him.
"I'm sorry I made you sad." Hughes apologised.
Meanwhile, Alexander was in front of little Elicia. "Hey, little one. I got lots of presents for you because you've been a very good girl all this time. You kept the secret."
Elicia puffed her chest out as she replied, "Of course, I will become a soldier like daddy when I grow up."
Alexander's heart melted from the cuteness. He patted her head and waved his hand. In an instant, all kinds of toys appeared in their boxes. "All of these are for you,"
"Woaaaa... Really?" She asked.
With his nod of affirmations, she jumped to grab a box and started opening it.
By now, Hughes and his wife had calmed down a bit.
"Honey, where will we keep all this?" Gracia asked seeing the pile of presents.
"Don't worry, I was promoted so we will be moving into a bigger and more open house soon," Hughes told her.
"Daddy, look, I got a gun." Elicia pointed a nerf gun at him.
"Woah, my Elicia is a spy now." Hughes dotted on her.
"Evil man, stay back. *BANG*" she shot it.
As nobody expected, it hit the babymakers of Hughes. Although Nerf Guns were mostly unharmful, the family jewels were also the weakest part of the body.
Hughes sat down while holding his crotch and his face sweating. "Ah, Gracia, I think we should give Elicia another sibling before Elicia decides the fate of my manhood."
Alexander laughed heartily and left the family alone. He deserved this holiday.
Alexander went to the underground jail from there. Bradley was still alive. So, Alexander decided to end him to and finish this whole chapter.
Bradley knew that he could not run away now. Not after seeing Father being manhandled like a child and eventually getting destroyed so easily. Bradley had no ambitions now and simply waited for what was to come now.
He could not feel the connection with his siblings anymore so that would only mean he was the last of homunculus remaining.
Once face to face, Alexander announced his punishment after reading his sins.
||King Bradley aka Wrath - Category 4
Murder - 45,796
Indirect Murder - 2,779,655
Kidnapping - 67
Attempted Murder - 4,789,654
Sin Percentage - 80%||
"Any last words," Alexander asked.
Bradley nodded. "Since my creation and till now, everything about me in my life was planned by Father. The only choice I ever made without any outer influence was to marry my wife. Can you make it so she doesn't get sad after I'm gone? She wouldn't just lose her husband but also will be losing her son."
Alexander sighed. "You have my word. Honestly, you seemed like a nice guy at first. I would have loved to meet the Bradley not controlled by the Dwarf."
Alexander disintegrated him for eternal hell and ended the whole homunculus and philosopher's stone debacle.
...
Hell,
Deadpool was not on the entry booth anymore. He had been promoted to become the floor manager of Category 4 punishments. He now had a nice office, overlooking the vast area where all kinds of punishments were given to the people.
*Knock Knock*
"Boss, there is another Category 4." Deadpool's assistant said.
"Ah, my sexy old man has been sending too many category 4 it seems. Okay, show me the file. Hmmm... King Bradley, murderer, hypocrite...
"Give him a standard boiling oil bath and then a full night course. Then make him the head of his prisoner block. He has military experience, it will be helpful." He ordered and got back to reading his book.
"Where do you want to put these?" Darth Vader asked him. He was being made to organise Deadpool's library, which only consisted of photo albums filled with photos of Venessa, Gaia, Lady Death and Alexander. He took Alexander's photos secretly though.
"Ah, that one is for the top 100 jerk off worthy photos of my sexy old man. Put them in the glass showcase.
Vader looked at the books in disgust and levitated them to put them in the glass showcase with lights and glitter.
"Hey, don't sigh about my choices, emo boy. I'm still better than you. Seriously, If I were in your place and had a hot chick like Padme in love with me, I'd have given Palpatine a nice anal with my lightsaber and then would have spent my life on Naboo with the beauty doing hanky panky.
"You'd have completed the prophecy and also gotten the girl that way." Deadpool barked at Vader, who simply ignored him as he had gotten used to his ramblings. But deep down, even Vader had been thinking about his whole life and the choices he made. What he could have done differently.

[A/N: Hey guys. A good news and a bad news. I just bought a new PC today. But I was only able to write one chapter because of that. So, there will be 1 chapter today and tomorrow. 1 chapter because I write chapters in pairs and they have continuity in them. I cannot mess up the order. So, I thank you for being patient in advance. Thank you for reading.]
