184. The Debate

Doreen got off the bus near the Avengers Tower. She headed to the building and asked to meet Tony Stark. Obviously, she was denied. She sadly turned around and decided to come the next day.

She had just left the building when she heard someone call her, "BIS SHIS, BIG SHIS"

Doreen turned around and saw a cute little chubby girl running towards her. Doreen waited for her to come.

"What can I do for you, little lady?" She asked.

"Is... is your tail real? and can I touch him?" She pointed to Monkey Joe on Doreen's head.

"Sure, but what's your name?" Doreen asked.

"I am Tina...oh, big brother said to tell people my full name. My name is Antonia." She proudly answered.

Doreen didn't know who she was and just played with Tina for a while. When she prepared to leave, Tina requested to play with her tomorrow as well. Not finding a way to say no, she agreed. "Okay, I'll meet you here at the same time. Bye, Tina."

Tina waved her hands while longingly looking at the leaving Doreen. "Aw... I want a squirrel too."

...

Alexander had too many things to do other than worry about the soon to be appearing crisis. Today was the day he was going to have a debate with Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Trump wasn't supposed to run for president but god knows why he decided to do it now.

A nice big stadium was booked for it and a lot of people swarmed in.

The Shield was there to secure the perimeter. Not because of Alexander but because someone might try to harm people in order to harm him. Tony also came to support him for some reason. Alexander could also see Deadpool lurking at the back. Olivia was busy and could not come. So for today, his only company was glutton, Rina.

Alexander was in his best suit. It was white colored with a white tie. With his white hair and big stature, he looked like a god from some Hollywood movie.

Soon the debate started. The first topic was the Economy. How it can be made better for all and how the income gap could be decreased and how people living under poverty can be lifted.

The first one to speak was Obama. He told everyone about his plan for moderately increasing taxes on higher-income Americans and fund health care reform, reduce the federal budget deficit, and decrease income inequality. He couldn't explain any solid plan though.

Then it was Trump's turn, "I believe that this great nation needs to unite to fight our enemies..."

Trump gave his two cents, which were not even related to the topic.

Then it was Alexander's turn. He cleared his throat and took out a thousand-page book. "What you are seeing is a brief plan of how I will make our country stronger both in military and economy. How I will uplift the poor elements of our society. This book will become public after this debate.

"Now to the main point. The first thing I'm going to do is bring some tax reforms. According to our Tax Laws. All those big companies need to pay 35% income tax but none of them do. Hell, I run a multi-billion dollar company and I can tell you that there are ways through which I can even make my company pay zero taxes.

"But that's not true, I just paid 170 Billion Dollars last year in taxes. Now to the next part, my first point will be enough to gather money to create more jobs and uplift people. A government-sponsored job sorting agency will be opened that will get you jobs. From the lowest to the highest. I have also seen that the number of college graduates in our country is steadily dropping due to crazy high fees.

"I seriously don't understand why education is so costly. It should be our basic right. So, I will reform the education industry too. When people are educated, companies are paying taxes and everyone has jobs. Things will automatically become better. We just have to take the first step and the rest will follow automatically."

As soon as he ended speaking there was thunderous applause in the arena. He noticed Deadpool using loudspeakers for shouting and booing on the other two participants.

Then the next topic was about mutant equality and how they were planning on tackling it.

Obama's plan was simple. He rounded up the speech and gave the same answers he did before. But he sounded intelligent so no one realized.

Then it was Trump's turn and he made the biggest mistake of his career, "I think that mutants have such special gifts and they should be used for our country. So I will make the registration act stronger. I will also introduce a superhero registration act. We have seen so many people acting vigilante. Even my colleague here does that. Their actions should be regulated."

Alexander scoffed, "First of all, that was racist. Now, let me answer Mr. Trump's point first. He wants the government to regulate the superheroes right? Alright, let's see their track record first. General Ross did experiments and made Hulk and Abomination. Another one did state-funded research to make mutants killer robots. And how can we forget the nuke sent to New York?"

Obama nearly hid his face as all that happened under his term. Alexander then continued.

"Time and time again we have seen that people who haven't worked in the field of superheroes are incapable of making decisions for those who do. The same is true with superheroes. Let me tell you one more thing, Hitler was also trying to experiment on Mutants for their powers. He didn't even spare little children. And I don't want to see that again in my own country. I don't want more Hitler. One was enough.

For equality, I will be proposing a law that will give the same rights to Mutants/Enhanced as any other citizen. The mutant registration act will be scrapped as it violates our First Amendment. Now that we know that some of them are problematic, we will induct enhanced people into the police as well. Just imagine how many cases can be solved if you have a psychic in your team.

Now about the superheroes, I will create a self-registration platform where they can register. Missions will also be posted on it which the heroes will be able to take according to their ranking."

His words were too powerful and resonated with the hearts of many people. He not only told them the reason. His Hitler comparison also pained some people. Adding Alexander's godly aura that he was releasing. He became people's favorite.

The arena looked more like a rock concert than a debate. There was so much cheering.

"Mister Universe, please make me your b*tch" Deadpool was shouting on loudspeaker with a big banner in his hand with a poster of a gorilla in a sexy pose.

The debate went on for a bit more before it finally came to an end. He was obviously the winner. He had shut both his opponents.

"You really have some crazy fans, old man." Tony came to him. He was talking about Deadpool.

*Sigh* "He's not just crazy, he's brain-dead. Let's go to our press conference now. Let's announce our inventions to the world." Alexander said.

"Yeah, I can't believe we are doing this. The whole world is going to change with this." Tony added.

They all got into the car. Rina followed behind him. "Grandpa Grandpa, taste this" she handed him a doughnut.

Alexander smiled at her sweetly and took a bite. But he stopped after chewing it once. He looked at the doughnut and confirmed that it was normal.

"Why am I tasting spaghetti?" He commented.

"Hehe... I found a new magic, Grandpa. I can make food taste like whatever I want. Here, taste this chocolate. You should try it too, Tony"

Alexander did it and nearly spat it out, "It tastes like sand."

Tony had taken a big bite so he had to spit it out too, "uwaa... I hate chocolates now."

"Hahaha... This is the magic of Rina the great." She proudly puffed her chest out.

Alexander ruffled her hair. Then he felt like a light bulb lit in his brain.

"Rina, remember the Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans?" He asked.

"Eeew, I used to get the vomit flavor most of the time," Rina replied as she tried to clean her tongue because she remembered the taste.

"Haha... Yes, I want you to start making it. It will be a hit in the world. People love crazy things like those. I will teach you the magic that will make the eater recognize the taste of candy he's eating even if he had never eaten that thing." He suggested to her.

There were stars in Rina's eyes. She mostly lazed around in Phixheim and annoyed grandpa Ragnarok to pass time. But now she had a goal.

"Yes, Grandpa. I'll do it. I'm going back to Phixheim. You'll be my first taste tester, brother Tony." She offered.

Tony fell for her cute smile and agreed, "Sure,"

But then he realized with horror, "What have I signed up for?"
