200. Young Avengers Initiative

As soon as Tina left, Olivia came to him and gave him a hug. "I really have no idea of what I should give you as a present. We already have everything we can ever wish for."

Alexander lovingly looked at her, "Yes, I already have everything I could wish for. You being by my side is the biggest gift for me and I appreciate this gift every day."

"You've been learning how to flirt ha. Tell me who is she. I swear I will not kill her." She said, looking him in the eye.

"Haha... Then you'll have to spare yourself, Oli. There is and never will be another woman in my life, except you, and Medusa, Rina, Amy, and Hela." He blabbered.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me. Are you going to allow Medusa and Loki to marry?" She asked. It had been more than ten years since they started dating and it was time to let them tie the knot.

"Can they really live with each other for the rest of their life?" He asked.

"I had a chat with Medusa some days ago. She and Loki seem to already be living like married couples. Since the New York invasion, Loki has been training seriously to get stronger." She told him.

"If that's the case. Let's discuss this with them later. No matter how much I'd hate to have Medusa be taken away, I can't keep her tied forever. She has her own life and choices to make. Let's just hope they are the right ones." He thoughtfully said.

"Grandpa Grandpa... I brought sister, Doreen." Tina came running back. Dragging behind her was the Squirrel girl.

Up until just a few moments ago, Doreen was resting in the Students area of the Universe Tower. Dreaming about joining the Avengers and getting praised by them.

She had gotten a job due to Tina's recommendation in a coffee shop there. Although coffee was free there, someone was still required to make it.

She had been playing with Tina for many days now. She was very shocked when she found out about Tina's real identity. But she vowed never to use this relationship to become an Avenger.

Today as well, she was working like any other day. But then Tina came and told her that her Grandpa wanted to see her.

She asked and Tina said it's Grandpa Universe. She quickly realized that she was being asked by the President of the United States. She got nervous and followed Tina all the way.

But to her shock and anxiety, the hall she just came to was filled with so many superheroes. All the Avengers were there. She meekly walked up to Alexander.

"So, you're Doreen. Oh, who do we have here? Hey there little guy," Alexander said looking at the small squirrel on Doreen's shoulder.

Monkey Joe made some noise in Doreen's ears. "He says his name is Monkey Joe and he's a big boy."

"Hahaha... I am sorry, Monkey Joe. So, how did you meet, Tina?" He asked.

Doreen was a bit surprised that Alexander wasn't bothered by her huge squirrel tail.

"I met her near Stark Tower when I came to New York to join the Avengers." She straightforwardly answered. It would be a lie if she said she wasn't nervous. In fact, saying she was nervous would be an understatement.

Alexander knew about Doreen aka Squirrel girl. She was quite a goofy and enjoyable character. She had a very strong sense of justice and a funny personality to go with it.

He had read in the comic once that she had even befriended Galactus because she wasn't afraid of him and talked to him like any other person. She had super strength, super agility and she could talk to Squirrels.

"So you want to be an Avenger?" He asked.

"Yes," almost instantly she replied with a firm look in her eyes.

Alexander couldn't help but ruffle her hair. "Haha... Then you will. But you'll need training first."

"HEY!, my man, Fury. Come here," he called Fury who was talking to someone else.

He looked at him, "What's the status of the Young Avengers Initiative?"

"Almost ready. We have selected candidates and almost all superheroes have agreed to take an apprentice. Except for our great Tony Stark." Fury briefed.

Alexander looked at Tony who had come to them seeing all the ruckus, "Don't worry about him. He already has an apprentice. I want you to induct Doreen into the program. Her abilities can be very helpful."

Fury quickly thought of the possibility of using Squirrels for intel gathering. Not to mention Doreen had superstrength.

Tony loudly exclaimed suddenly, "No, no, no... I denied taking an apprentice. How can you give me one without telling me?"

Alexander made him quiet down, "Your apprentice is yet to become a superhero. But believe me, you'll love that kid. He's super smart too. You also need to become a bit more responsible."

Alexander ignored his complaints and asked Steve to come to him. "Steve, this is Doreen. I want you to take her as your first apprentice. She has a high sense of justice, super strength, and can talk to Squirrels."

Steve looked at Doreen, "Talk to Squirrels?"

"Yeah, look at that little guy on her shoulder." Alexander pointed.

Monkey Joe again got angry and decided to complain, "I am Monkey Joe and I'm not little."

A squeaky yet understandable voice came out of his mouth. Monkey Joe himself was shocked.

"Haha... I just gave you super strength and ability to speak, Monkey Joe. I'd hate it if something were to happen to you as you were still a normal squirrel." Alexander explained.

Monkey Joe started speaking non-stop to test his new ability. He ran around and tested his strength as well.

While Doreen stood there in a daze. She couldn't believe her dream was so easily fulfilled. She not only joined the Avengers but she'd be taught by Captain America.

Unknowingly a small tear fell down her eye. Alexander noticed it and quickly gave her a napkin.

"What happened, kid?" He asked.

"I-I've been trying to become an Avenger since I came here. But they never let me through the Avengers Tower. I-I thought I'd never have my dream fulfilled." She cried.

Alexander couldn't blame her. She was still an innocent 16 years old.

But they all look at Tony with questioning gaze. Tony quickly took out his phone, "Happy, you will check every person trying to enter Avengers Tower and let the superpowered ones meet whichever Avenger is free."

Alexander looked back at Doreen, "Welcome to the team, kid. Now cheer up and enjoy."

Alexander took out a backpack and gave it to her, "This has your new superhero uniform. Indestructible and always clean."

Doreen suddenly felt like hugging the kind old man and went for it. "Thank you, sir."

Alexander patted her head, "Haha... Its alright, child. I'm glad I could help."

...

According to the normal timeline, the events of Captain America Winter Soldier should be happening at the moment. But Alexander had already destroyed Hydra. Though Project insight was still going on. It only made new and better Helicarriers for Shield.

The Shield had a new security council now. It was only there to oversee their budgets and administrative things. In no way, they could interfere with their working now. Secretly all the new members of the Security Council were Alexander's people.

Shield needed some time to truly spread its reach. But Alexander had also put many curses to root out corruption and incompetent people.

Bucky Barnes had also returned to Earth from his multiple missions in space. He was not Winter Soldier but Space Soldier. Alexander had told Steve that Bucky was alive and well, and they had a happy reunion.

Alexander didn't have anything to do in the coming days except prepare to officially take the office and start changing the world.
