190. #Grandpa_For_President

On Earth, Alexander's safe return was broadcasted. Hailing him as a savior once again. Most of them didn't know what really happened out there but they knew that Earth was in danger.

He arrived at Avengers Tower. All the heroes were waiting for him there.

"Haha... how are you all?" Alexander asked as if nothing had happened.

"Ah, we ordered a pizza. Want some?" Tony asked. Everyone looked at Tony with a questioning gaze.

"WHAT?" he exclaimed.

"You guys should just accept the fact that all he does is normal for him. We are just some lowly beings in front of him." Tony shrugged.

"Yeah, you're kinda right." Bruce agreed.

"Ah come on. We just warded off an existential threat to Earth. Let's celebrate. But don't forget to sleep early. We'll be going tomorrow to vote for me." Alexander smugly announced.

"Alright then, Mr. President. Let's go and PARTY" Tony shouted and started the music.

Alexander was alone so he looked into his dimensional pocket. He found the gift that God had mentioned. It was nothing but just a small watch with a screen. It showed 11% written on it.

He quickly understood what it meant. It was a way for him to see how close he was to God's strength.

...

The Next Day,

Thankfully, the latest Alien invasion was thwarted. So the voting wasn't postponed and polling started in various places.

Nearly all of the Mutants/Enhanced were giving votes to Alexander for changing their lives for the better. They also thought that having him as the president would be good for them all.

The Voter Turnout was great. Tony went in his Iron Man suit to cast his vote. The media surrounded him as soon as he came out of the polling station.

"Mr. Stark, who did you vote for?" They asked.

"Seriously? Obviously, it's America's Old Man. No one can be better than him in running this country and fixing all the problems. Alright, peace out." He flew away.

In Brooklyn, Steve went to a polling station. He was asked the same question by the journalists.

"I served under General in the war. I have full confidence that he's the best our country can have." Saying that he got on his bike and left.

So many people came to vote, mostly because people wanted a change. And because Alexander didn't represent either party, many people didn't feel too conflicted in voting for him.

Alexander was also confronted by them. But they instead asked him who his Secretary of State was going to be.

"I will announce my whole cabinet soon. For now, I can tell you that Howard Stark will be the Secretary of Defence. Let's see what happens in tomorrow's results. Wish me luck." He answered.

That evening, he and his cabinet met after Howard told him that he was going to be the president. The reason behind such confidence was because it had turned a trend on social media to upload a selfie after voting. And nearly all of them were putting #Grandpa_For_President hashtag under their pics.

Alexander doubted that someone in his family had done it. Just asking Ghost answered his questions. As it turns out, Amy had used her Hollywood friends to make celebrities start this trend. Amy was initially unhappy as they didn't use Glanpa but she had to make peace with it. Deciding that he'd 'punish' her later. He went to have his meeting.

*Ting*

The lift opened and a man in a suit slowly walked in. A little girl was holding his hand and looking around at everything excitedly.

"Haha...come here. Jenny can play with Tina in the meantime." Alexander walked up to them.

He dragged him to everyone and introduced him, "Everyone. This is Connor. He'll be my Secretary of State. He's pretty good at public relations and has vast knowledge about the current condition of the world."

Ragnarok quickly approached him and patted him on his shoulders, "Welcome to the hood, kid. We got all kinds of weirdos here."

"And he's the biggest weirdo of us all," Dobby added.

"Haha... Alright. Let's start the meeting. But before that, let's have a drink for the great future." Alexander proposed.

After a while Connor came to him while he was drinking, "Sir, I want to thank you for making that medicine. I had tried to keep Jenny's mutant form a secret from her but she took it off once while bathing. She cried that whole night. But then you announced the medicine the next day and sent it to me before it even reached the market.

"I don't know how to repay you, sir. Now you are making me your Secretary of State. I don't know why you're doing this. I'm just a small senator. But I promise to serve to the best of my ability." Connor firmly said.

Alexander grabbed a beer and gave it to him. "Connor, Do you know why I do all this changing the world and stuff thing?"

"Because you can see that we can be better?" Connor guessed.

"We can always be better. There's no limit to evolving you know." Alexander replied.

"Then why do you do all this?" He sincerely asked.

"Simple. Because I can. Tell me, why did Hitler kill so many people?... Simple, because he could. No one was stopping him. When you have too much power and money, you can simply do whatever you want. Good or bad is just a matter of choice. There are so many superheroes that could have been supervillains and vice versa.

"So, you'll be gaining a lot of power by being the Secretary of State. Then it'll be just a matter of what you do with it." He walked away to the others.

Connor just stood there and thought about his words.

By the evening, all the polling stations closed down and the results would be announced the next day.

...

The next day,

Election results were being announced slowly. On the news channel, the screens were filled with a green-colored U.S. state-wise map.

Light Green was the color Alexander had chosen to represent himself. And the green color was currently covering every state. Yes, he was winning in all 50 states. However, the end result was yet to be announced.

A lot of people had gathered in public places to cheer for his victory. To be honest, this was a totally different experience for Alexander. He became the Emperor of Planetos by his sheer strength. He became the Minister of Magic by his power and a bit of manipulation.

But this time, It was a real election which he was winning because he showed the world some kindness.

In a few more hours. The final result tally was announced and with that, he became the president-elect. It would have been bad not to address the people. So he simply put a mic on the stairs of Universe Tower.

He looked at the crowd and spoke while smiling, "Haha... That was quite a historic victory. All 50 states. Damn, you guys are crazy."

It won him some chuckles and laughs from the crowd.

"I thank you for your trust in me. I vow to fulfill the promises that I made to you all. I will lead all of us to a better future. Not just as my fellow Americans but as the same species." Alexander said. He had to say some nationalism inducing words as he was their president now.

"I don't really have much to say. I believe in actions rather than words. I have already given you affordable food, water, and electricity. Next are affordable education and housing. Corruption will be rooted out no matter who it is. Racism will not be tolerated one bit. We call this country the strongest and best in the world and it's about time we start acting like it. So cheer with me. FOR THE FUTURE... FOR THE FUTURE"

A loud wave of cheering started as people started to jump in excitement. It looked more like a rock concert now. But then a loud sound came from among the crowd.

*BANG*
