139. Uatu the Watcher

Alexander was on his way to the blue area of the moon. He was going to have a drink with the good man Uatu. Uatu was a member of the Watchers.

The Watchers were known to be one of the oldest species in the universe and committed to observing and compiling knowledge on all aspects of the universe without any interference. This policy of non-interference was due to a well-meaning attempt by the Watchers to bestow knowledge on another race. They gave the knowledge of nuclear energy, but instead of using that knowledge to advance themselves. The race ended up destroying itself.

Learning from their mistakes, the watchers decided to just watch the Universe and never interfere with it. Even if someone was dying at their feet. They would also gather once in a while and share each other's findings to further their knowledge.

They had a humanoid build but with a slightly bigger bald head. The Watcher sent to Earth was Uatu. Uatu saw humans rise from nothing and grew fond of them. Eventually, he broke his oaths several times to protect the Earth.

He also did that very recently. Others might have not realized but Uatu helped Captain Marvel. He helped her by using his abilities to activate her powers while she was falling to Earth. Alexander knew it, so he was on his way to show some goodness.

Alexander landed on the Blue side of the moon. It was an ancient city made by an advanced species a million years ago. Skrulls had made it as a testing site. They added an equal number of Kree and Cotati here to see what they could accomplish.

The Kree made a huge Blue City and the Cotati made a complex ecosystem. Later Skrulls deemed the Cotati's work superior.

Enraged by the judgment, the Krees rebelled and killed the Skrulls and Cotati. They took the Skrulls' starship and abandoned the area. Since then, Uatu is the only one living there.

Alexander walked to the biggest and cleanliest building which he guessed was his home. He didn't even have to knock as Uatu came out.

"Greetings, who are you?" Uatu spoke.

"Haha, the owner of that big white ship which made the Kree run away," Alexander replied.

"So it was you. What do you want from me? Anything it is, I can't do it." Uatu sternly said.

"No no, my friend. You are a good man and I appreciate good people. I just wanted to have some drinks and talk. I know what you did to Captain Marvel." He revealed.

Uatu didn't look much surprised, "I invite you in."

Alexander followed Uatu into what looked like his living room. He offered him a seat. He quickly sat down and took out various snacks and Firewhiskey.

"Here, this drink has become quite famous in the universe these days," Alexander spoke.

Uatu looked at the red liquid with interest. Observing and finding new things was his nature so he took a sip.

"Ah, such a fine taste. I can understand why this can be famous. I am Uatu, who might you be?" He respectfully asked.

"I am Alexander Maxim Universe, God-son." He replied.

"What does this God-son designation mean?" Uatu was intrigued.

"Well, I guess it won't hurt telling you. I am the son of the supreme creator of the whole Multiverse. He created the existence. And no, I am not talking about this Universe. This is just one of the infinite and he's the creator of those infinite. While he is the creator, I am his advocate. I basically have the authority to kill any being that is creating trouble in the world and filling it with impurity." He explained, not telling him about his powers though.

Uatu was a man who'd save Earth even if it meant his death. Alexander respected that and he also knew that even if the universe found about his God-son status, it wouldn't matter as it was filled with self-proclaimed gods and they'd think he's one of them.

"Then that makes you the highest living entity in this universe," Uatu exclaimed.

"Haha, yes my friend. I am. Now enough with all this. You tell me, what are you up to? Why did you help Earth so many times?" Alexander inquired.

Uatu's face suddenly turned cheerful as he started talking about Earth. "I like it, Humans aren't perfect but they still try to solve their problems. They always strive to become better. Their ability to love and feel fascinates me."

"Haha, and you fascinate me. You aren't really different from a human you know. Just like them, you also feel empathy for Earth and a need to protect it." Alexander reasoned.

"I'm afraid you are correct. I fear that this will get me into trouble from the council of Watchers someday." Uatu sighed.

"Oh, someone is here." Uatu loudly announced.

Suddenly 2 people who looked like they were from the same species as Uatu appeared in the room.

One of them had a big slate like thing in his hands and he read it loudly.

"Uatu, Watcher of system Sol. You have been found guilty of multiple counts of breaking the Watcher oath. You are to be presented in front of the Council right now to face the judgment."

Uatu knew this would happen someday so he didn't fight.

Alexander suddenly stood up and spoke. "Then I announce that I will be his counsel. I'll come with you."

The two new guys were surprised as they hadn't noticed him yet.

"This cannot be allowed." He smoothly denied.

Alexander suddenly walked to Uatu and handed him a paper. Uatu understood after reading it and quickly signed it. It was a contract to Hire Uatu as an official guard for his Firewhiskey stash on the moon.

"Then you can't take Uatu. He is my employee and you can't take him away without my permission." Alexander handed them the contract. He was the Emperor of Finta so he had the power to notarize papers like these, which would make it applicable in most of the areas in the Universe. Even the Asgard recognizes it.

"A watcher cannot be hired by anyone. This contract isn't applicable." The guy retorted.

"No, that rule only works if the employer is a mortal. A supreme being who governs the nature of the universe can hire him." Alexander argued.

"And you are saying that you are a Supreme being?"

Alexander said nothing and showed them his palm. Then suddenly a real active Sun appeared in his palm.

"Now, this is a real sun. How big do you want it to become to make understand who you are talking to?" Alexander loudly said and released some of his divine aura. He rarely used it as he didn't like making people kneel.

The sun and the aura increased in their size with each passing second. Soon the two new guys felt scared and kneeled.

"Please, put that sun away, we will take you with us." they pleaded.

"Good, let's go then."

...

Before he knew it, they both appeared in front of the council of Watchers.

Alexander was first to talk, "I am the counsel of Uatu, and he pleads not guilty."

"Silence, this is not how the watchers work. He broke the oath and meddled in the affairs of the world. For this, he should be removed from the Watchers." One of them spoke.

"Hmm, then I must remove your council for enslaving Uatu," Alexander argued and released his aura to tell them that his words should be respectfully heard.

"What do you mean? We don't do the act of slavery" they retorted.

"No, you do. You enslaved the free will of Uatu. You are stopping him from doing what he wants to do." He stated. It was a valid point that they couldn't argue.

"But he willingly joined us and took the oath. He also willingly broke it so he should be punished."

"Punished for what? Helping an entire species from dying? Listen to me, you immature intelligent people. The destruction of the first world you gave the nuclear tech knowledge to was your own mistake. Tell me, who did you give the knowledge to on that planet?" He asked.

"To the strongest organization." One of them answered,

"And there you have it, the answer. Did you do a thorough check-up of the planet, its people, its culture and history? What if the strongest organization on the planet was the one trying to conquer it? What you did was foolishness. You don't hand an energy blaster to a man who doesn't even know how to make a stone spear. Tell me, should I punish you for this crime too?" He questioned. Putting them all in deep contemplation. He imagined what would have happened if someone like them had given Nuclear tech knowledge to Hitler.

"I am not saying that what you do is wrong but have you ever thought about the good you could have done? The space is filled with warlords who destroy worlds or pirates who enslave worlds. Wouldn't killing them be the greatest service to help the various planets flourish? Uatu did a great service to Earth by protecting it. And I am happy that he's not a watcher, he's a protector. Let's do this. Give Uatu 30 years and you'll see that his savings the Earth has many good effects on the Universe." He suggested.

All the council members couldn't come to a unified decision so they agreed to wait. 30 years was nothing to them.

"Okay, the trial will resume in 30 years and reaction from Uatu's actions will be assessed. Till then, Uatu is removed from the Watchers." They concluded.

Alexander was quite happy. This meant that Uatu could live however he wanted to and didn't need to hide anymore. So he gave the guy an apartment on top of the Westeros bar. Uatu would alternatively live on the moon and Earth.

"Thank you," Uatu said.

"Haha, it's okay. I'll see you around then. Say hi to Dobby downstairs too." Alexander said goodbye and teleported to Finta. But somehow he didn't reach Finta. Someone had interrupted his teleportation.

He stood in blank space and in front of him was a giant golden humanoid being with 3 heads. 1 face fully uncovered, one fully hooded and one half showing.
