204. Long Drive

[You can read 60 chapters in advance and GOT fic on -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]

It was easy to guess how many folks were scared of Hector entering the White House once again. All the major corporations and politicians started to call their lawyers to understand if what Hector said about his eligibility was even true.

To them, the alien invasion was already a thing of the past. Securing their continuous prosperity was their primary goal. But when they realized that they could not stop him by law, they decided to change the law.

Since the Vice President was now the new president, and they believed they still had majority control in the Congress, they proposed edits to the old laws. First, they wished to change the baby bonds law and remove the lifespan max-age of 140.

However, when the bill was up for a vote, it didn't even get half the votes needed to pass them. It turns out, Hector had a lot of sleeper agents and other fans who'd rather see him as the President.

Now it was just a matter of time before Hector won and started breaking a few backs.

...

Before he did anything, Hector entered the Funhouse dimension as it was time to deal with Thanos. The guy was alive and tied to chains by the Spirits of Vengeance.

Thanos was awake and saw him come, "One man's failure is another's success. You won, Washington, but at what cost? The Universe will keep suffering."

Hector went to the side to make a coffee, "No, you seem to have the wrong idea. I'm not a foolish man like you. My solution does not consist of genocide. It baffles me that with all the power of the six infinity stones, the best solution you could come up with was killing everyone."

"Kill me now; why waste time here?" Thanos said.

Hector snapped his finger and released Thanos. "Here, drink this and listen to me clearly. I will not kill you, but rather keep you as a security guard. A Spirit of Vengeance will be tied to you, and I will change your brain with the stones. You will be fully loyal to me and my beliefs and will be the last line of defence of the United Galactic Federation. A sentinel of sorts."

"You will condemn me to a life of servitude?" Thanos sneered.

Hector laughed, "Haha, naive. You won't even know you're a servant with the changes to your brain. Gone will be the Mad Titan, and now there will be the Titan of Justice."

"What's stopping my minions from releasing me?"

Hector slapped a document on the table, "This contract. Since I'm the creator, nothing in this multiverse can nullify it."

*THUMP*

Hector forcefully picked Thanos' hand and slammed it on the paper while his demonic powers were active and showed his other face. Thanos was dumbly left staring at him in shock, "W-What are you?"

"Just a small employee of Omniversal Hell. Anyway, thanks for doing business." *SNAP*

He was getting too comfortable with the snap recently. It was amazing how it was like a magical genie that could fulfill all his wishes. Heck, even a genie might not be able to do it.

With this, he got one more Skull Knight as a servant. This one was different, however. As Thanos retained all his memories and ability to speak freely. Only his mind got rewired.

...

"Man, this is going to be so much work," Tony muttered as he watched the state of New York City from the patch of land where his building used to be.

"I'm sure Mister President has some idea for it," Pepper stood at his side.

*WOOSH*

"I do, actually." Hector appeared out of nowhere. "Let's go to Times Square; I will make the announcement there."

He dragged Tony by his collar and teleported to the venue. There was nothing except a small wooden stage setup and a few microphones. Ordinary folks and journalists surrounded it.

As soon as he appeared, they started clicking pictures. Fantastic Four, X-MEN, Sorcerers, Avengers and many others were present there.

Hector walked to the mic and spoke, "As I said yesterday, it's time to make some announcements. But first, we should acknowledge those who helped us. Yondu and his crew are a group of aliens who work for the United Galactic Federation; they are the prime examples that not everything out there is terrible. Then there is the secret community of sorcerers under Sorcerer Supreme that protects our planet and reality from interdimensional threats.

"Tony Stark also worked hard and used his brain for something good at last." a round of laughter ensued. "I want to thank all the gifted ones worldwide for going out of their way to help people. And also apologize that you have been treated as third-class citizens of Earth all this time. Hopefully, that will change now. After all, if we can't even treat a strong segment of our society equally, how can we ever become a space civilization?

"Now, returning to the topic of this city. I have spoken with the prominent leaders of the United Galactic Federation and The Gifted Ones. With the help of the range of powers they possess and the help in getting materials from space, we will make this city better than ever before.

"One that has the world's best public transportation, no traffic congestion, and is pedestrian and bicyclist friendly. New York will be a city of the future with the technologies provided by the Stark Industries and Baxter Foundation run by the Fantastic Four. Of course, King's Industries will also help as it has some of the world's best eco-friendly alternate technologies.

"The planning will be done by the Stan Lee company and myself. Hopefully, this new city will prove to be an inspiration to all."

"Sir, what are your thoughts on the attempt by Congress to change the Baby Bond laws?"

Hector smiled, "Well, I have only one thing to say to all those who are trying so hard to ensure I never get into the office. I AM—INEVITABLE!"

"Sir, you say you are pro-environment and recycling, then why is it that your companies forced the oil prices to get so low and increase its consumption around the globe?"

This one was a pretty intelligent question, most likely from a channel that hated him. But Hector had an answer, "Because the price was being artificially inflated by a few powerful nations and companies to make more money. I realized that the increased costs were hitting the growth of small economies.

"Yes, I am pro-nature. And I will say this in public today. In the year 2020, I will do something that will return our planet's air and water quality to what it was in the 1700s. Clean and pure. If I can't do that, I will give away all the honors given to me, all the wealth I have, and stop using my last name.

"All right, it's time for me to go. I will be traveling the whole country and the world to assess the damage, fix things where I can, and also rally for my election.

"Take care, and may God bless planet Earth."

There was a red 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible behind the stage. Hector jumped into the driver's seat, Diana to the passenger. Then Moony jumped into the back seat, and Hector zoomed away.

"I will say this once; I envy his style," Tony muttered to himself. But he was not alone. Captain America, standing behind him, nodded. "Me too."

*Cough* Peggy coughed and walked to the mic. Hector chose her to act as his press secretary and answer people on his behalf. "I am Peggy Carter Rogers, and I will be taking your next questions."

"She's hot," Tony commented from a distance.

This prompted Steve to glare at him, "She's my wife... and old enough to be your grandma."

⚆_⚆

"FUCK! Why do I always forget that?!"

Natasha scoffed from the side, "Because you think from your overused tool."

Pepper sighed, but agreed, "I can vouch for that."

"HEY! You're supposed to take my side,"

"I don't get paid enough to do that, Mister Stark."

"YOU'RE THE CEO!"

...

"AWOOOOO..." Moony fought his greatest bane, the air.

Hector drove the car with one hand while holding Diana's hand in the other. They were on a lonely road headed south right now. "Finally, some peace."

"So this isn't supposed to be a work trip?"

Hector shrugged, "It is, but... I wanted some family time alone. Me, you and the good boy Moony."

"WOOF!" Moony barked and stuck his head between the two lovers to receive two kisses on his cheeks.

Diana moved closer to Hector. This was one of the good things about old cars. They come with uninterrupted long seats with the shift stick not in the way. Hector had snapped his fingers and had already turned the car into a superfast automatic anyway.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and let her snuggle into his arms. "It's crazy how we're people from different multiverses and met in a third multiverse."

"Fate is often unpredictable. Not that I am complaining. This is an infinity times better than hovering in the void all alone. Now I'm in the company of a devil." She jokingly added the last bit.

"Haha, be careful, my lady. This devil can be mischievous at times." Hector replied and pecked her head.

"Hehe... good, I'm tired of being the all-righteous Wonder Woman anyway. *Sigh* This trip is going to be fun."

*BAM*

*WOOSH*

However, their romantic moment was suddenly broken as the car jolted violently. Hector pressed on the break and looked back. Moony was missing. They looked to the side and found the fluffy boy running after a coyote.

*FACEPALM*

"I think getting a roofless car was a mistake."
