Alternate Story 6/One Future of Many

March 24, 2035

Doctor Strange waves in a friendly manner as the tentacle of an unknown monster twitches at his side.

The image is a bit strange.

Having a problem with nasty things, Hope releases her psychic flame incinerating the tentacle.

"Uncle Strange, next time be careful what you bring with you" Hope said with a smile.

But Doctor Strange, who knows her well, knows that she is a little dissatisfied.

This is because the girl has a little problem with the cleanliness.

So Doctor Strange nods his head.

"Looks like you've been having some trouble, Strange" Alex said.

"Yes, I met my zombie counterpart, who transformed several dimensional beings into creatures like him"

"It seems that what those members of Hydra did allowed some of those creatures to enter other dimensions, and they are causing chaos"

"Fortunately, I managed to close all the portals, but it's only a matter of time before they invade our world, with the help of my counterpart" Doctor Strange said.

Everyone in the place is silent as these creatures are everywhere and it was a matter of time before they spread chaos in all corners of the Earth.

"For now, have the refugees you brought down from the aircrafts and settle here" Alex said looking at the heroes, who nodded and sent a group to take care of it.

"Alexa, activate Genosha's defenses and inform me of the current situation of those creatures" Alex said while giving orders.

"Understood Mr. Wayne, the defenses are working at their maximum capacity and about the zombies, the ones in New York are being released by dimensional beings" Alexa informed while in the middle of the Palace a large holographic screen appeared showing different creatures with animal shapes that were devouring the energy of the shield that kept the zombies prisoners, some were eating the people who were still in that place and had not evacuated.

The expressions of the heroes are very ugly when they see what is happening.

"And what is happening to those I locked up in my Palace?" Doctor Doom asked in a deep voice.

"There are also dimensional beings that try to free them, but the defenses that Mr. Doom has placed in place are holding them back and it will take them much longer to free them unlike the ones in New York" Alexa answered calmly as she provided that information.

Hearing what Alexa reported, Doctor Doom nods in satisfaction as it showed that his defenses were better than the heroes'.

"I see, so first we have to solve the problem of New York. Riri, use my blood and see if you can create a cure" Alex said as he got up from his throne and Valeria got down from his lap with reluctance seeing his actions.

"What are you going to do, Alex?" Riri asked worriedly.

"Me? Well, I'm going to cleanse New York of those things, you guys stay here to protect Genosha, okay?" Alex said to his daughters and the others while he gently caressed Valeria's hair.

"It's fine, but take Est with you, we'll be more comfortable that way" Riri said as she nodded her head.

Est quickly moves to Alex's side, making her intentions clear.

Alex smiles and looking at Doctor Doom, he says:

"Once I finish off those things in New York, I will help you with those in your country"

Doctor Doom just nods his head and says no more.

Doom was confident that he could defeat those creatures, the bad thing was that a simple cut or bite would turn him into one of those things and he is not completely sure that he will not get hurt because those bastards could bite and destroy metal with ease. That's why he came to ask Alex for help since, unlike him, Alex doesn't have that problem because of his gift.

But still he was worried about his people since even though those dimensional creatures were attacking his castle, it was only a matter of time before they attacked them.

"Hope, Luna, go to Latveria and stop those things until I can go, use the Sentinels if necessary" Alex said noticing Doctor Doom's concern.

Alex's instincts are so extraordinary that he could easily feel those moods.

"I will accompany them" was the only thing Doctor Doom said as he opened a portal.

Hope and Luna nod their heads and create their own portals to go to Latveria.

"Wait! Alex, can't you use the Infinity Stones to destroy them and return everything to normal?" Reed Richards asked confused.

"I've already tried but it doesn't seem to work, something or someone is influencing the power of the Stones" Alex said as he frowned.

He had tried to eliminate those things with the Stones but every time he tried, he felt a strange energy that blocked the power of the Stones.

That left him a little confused, since he felt that whatever it was intervening, it did it instinctively, as if it had an obligation to do that even unconsciously.

For some strange reason that produced a strange feeling.

He felt that the universal laws themselves considered that this should happen.

Recalling the stories of Marvel Zombies, the heroes and the humans were always on the losing side.

No matter what they did, they always failed, even someone of Galactus's level was easily devoured by them.

Even with a Spider-Man, who put aside his desires to eat meat and found a cure, he couldn't prevent that Earth from becoming a doomsday world.

Or even with Uatu's multiversal and dimensional intelligence, he was only able to lock them into a time-space loop.

Listening to Alex's words, they were surprised since they saw no movement on his part at any time.

But since they knew he would never lie to them, they believed him.

Without further ado, Alex created a portal and went through it, his daughters and Doctor Doom did the same and left the others behind.
