Peace was a rare occurrence in the Marvel Universe, or any universe for that matter, even the one from where I came. But with the events of Captain Marvel already behind me, peace was finally here. For at least a decade that is.

I remembered a few things about the MCU, one was that I had until 2004 to plan and become stronger, for in 2004 the events leading to END game would begin, with the birth of the Hulk.

From that point, I would have around fifteen years to prepare for Thanos and his army, meaning this decade without important events was the decade of my making, a decade I would use to become the strongest I could possibly be.

My plan? Dungeons, Dungeons, and more dungeons. In short, I would travel around the world collecting dungeons, and doing them, in a grindy manner. All while I came back home to be a dad. Portals were sure handy when it came to that, for no matter where I went, I had access to my home at any given time.

"Ten years." I chuckled, looking at the sky as I did so, from the window of my penthouse in New York. "Ten years to prepare for what is coming." Ten years before MCU phase one really started, ten years before the threat of the Mad Titan became a real shadow looming above us.

In reality, I had a bit more than twenty years to prepare for the events of Infinity War, and End Game. If things went well, I would be ready. But for now, my timeline was that, ten years, or 9 years and 6 months to be precise.

"Dad." Emily said, getting my attention. [Emily Walker LV 35]

I looked at her, and I couldn't help but feel proud of how strong she already was, of how strong she would be. "Yes sweetie?"

"Can we watch a movie tonight?" Emily asked, with puppy eyes activated.

"Sure, but first clean your room." I winked.

"Okay!" And with that, she ran towards her room with a happy smile on her face.

"Ten years." I chuckled. "More than enough time." I chuckled. "More than enough time to become the Mad Titan's killer."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next day, I woke up to start my long prep for what was to come. Of course, first I took Emily to school, and then I went to my day job, which was basically supervising my company and my investments. After that, I would go and do some dungeons I had found before the events of Captain Marvel that were around my level.

One more reason to love my satellite, it shows me where every dungeon and raid is in the entire globe, giving me easy access to them. Lamentably enough, raids are way above my current level, heck the earliest raid is level 250, but eventually I would get there, I was after all, level 157. Heck some of the raids were even level 500 and higher, I can only imagine how hard those babies are, I will probably need a group for them, like one does in a normal raid.

Anyway, back to what I was doing, working and making some money.

"Time to work." I smiled, opening a portal to my office in my company.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working as the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER for my own company was incredibly dull, and bland. But life was not always full of thrill and excitement, so in the end, I was happy with a bit of monotony.

I mean, a few years ago I used to be a college student watching movies with his friends, and now… now I am a dad, a warrior, and in a way, a prophet.

Though, regardless of my love for the new shade of monotony in my life, I needed to find someone to take care of my company if I wanted it to actually grow, a CEO capable of running the train without my constant supervision, someone making money for me.

Perhaps I could steal Pepper from Tony… nah, she is much too young right now to be leading a company, also I need someone with knowledge in physics and other sciences.

"Sir." My secretary knocked at the door of my office.

"Yes?" I replied, looking at the door as I did so.

"Hank's Pizza is here." Oh my lunch was here… wait a minute… HANK, HANK PYM, he can be my CEO, he's smart, and fills all the criteria boxes.

"Keep the pizza, I have something to do!" I replied as I pulled my phone from my pocket to call Fury.

[Nick Fury POV]

Two weeks in hawaii, and I lose a fucking eye to one of them terrorist bitches, I didn't lose the fucking eye to Hydra, nor to the space bitch patrol, but to humans, Alex won't ever let this die down, and what's even worse, Bucky now has material to work with. "Coulson, you do the paperwork, I have shit to do." I ordered, as I walked to my quarters.

If there was any consolation to this, it was that at least, soon enough I would have no need for doing such missions, with the current Director of SHIELD retiring, and naming my ass as he successor and all, I would be the one giving the missions.

~A bitch it's calling, answer the phone~

Alex is calling huh. "Hello." I said, taking the call. Already imagining what came next, ~Fury I need your help.~

"Fury, I need your help." Haha! Fucking nailed it.

"What is it this time?" I asked with a chuckle.

"I need to know where Hank Pym lives." Alex replied, sounding rather excited about all of this.

"I think I can find that information, but can I know why?" I asked, curious as to why he wanted to know where an ex-agent of SHIELD lived.

"I need a CEO with knowledge in genetics, physics, and other sciences to help me out with my company, and well, Hank is probably my best choice!" Alex replied. "Funny enough, if he says no, I will try and hire the furry version of Hank, both work just fine."

The furry version of… I really won the lottery with this brother. "Sure, I will find you the address, but you owe me one." and that one would be not making fun of my eye situation.

"Sure." Alex replied. "So… how is work?" he asked after a second of silence.

"Good, nothing as exciting as stopping an alien invasion, but enough to keep me busy." I replied with a chuckle.

"I like that, not having to deal with constant lethal threats." Alex replied, with a long tired tone, one that I could fully comprehend.

"I know how you feel… but it is what it is, we have the curse of caring, and the knowledge to do something about it, so here we are, two man fucking the world." I replied with a sigh, my hand on where it used to be my eye. "At least you have power though, I be fighting monsters with a gun." I added with a chuckle.

"I suppose it's true." Alex chuckled. "Well… I have to go, text me with the address."

"Sure, take care. And remember, movie night with Emily tomorrow." That little girl was terrifying, somehow she had managed to guess my passcode to my calendar, to add my dates with her on it.

"I know." Alex chuckled. "I have twenty two reminders on my phone, and ten on my fridge."

"Haha." I chuckled.

"Okay, take care." Alex sighed.

"Bye." I smiled, hanging up the phone.
