Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 148: Punisher

When they reached the Crystal they were blocked by 2 guys. One was very small and the other one was huge.

"Stop, you are not allowed to pass." The small one spoke.

Lilandra walked to the front, "Jahf and Modt. Step aside, this is the new Emperor."

"Haha, and I am the Nova Prime" Jahf joked.

Alexander suddenly waved his hand and Jahf's body froze from the neck and below.

"I believe you are the protectors of this crystal but sadly, you won't be needed for this job anymore. I am the Emperor of Shi'ar, now named Universe Federation and I release you two from this duty." He loudly ordered. The two protectors understood that it was not good to mess with him and made way.

Then he walked up to the crystal and took it away. He was probably going to have a talk with the Phoenix about it after he's done researching it.

After that, he started organizing the Universe Federation. The announcement was made to the whole universe that Emperor Universe controlled the former Shi'ar Empire now.

Because he already had very good relations with the Nova Empire, he made many trade deals with them. More trade between the two was promoted. Shi'ar Empire was already the strongest of the bunch and now with Alexander, it had become invincible. Nova Prime was more than happy to ally with him. She was feeling lucky for forming good relations with him all these years.

Ronan the Accuser had just heard about the latest news. He was also planning on attacking Finta but was beaten by Shi'ar. But now he was thankful that he didn't do it. He finally understood the scope of the strength of the Emperor Universe. He would have doomed the Kree Empire if he had done it.

Skrulls were more focused on fighting the Krees so they didn't have any thoughts about Alexander. For the next few years, Alexander worked hard on improving the empire. He also spent a lot of time with the kids. Not wanting to ignore them.

Howard had already invented arc reactors. They now run most of the important facilities in his empire. The tech was not public yet as it could be dangerous in the wrong hands. The Universe already had stuff like arc reactors but they were all not as good as what Howard or later Tony would make. Howard also has a daughter now. She was just recently born.

She was named Antonia Maxime Universe Stark. Tina was her nickname. It really brought joy to Howard and Maria. They always wanted a daughter. Rina, Amy, and Leo all showered love on their new little sister.

Medusa was mostly busy with Loki and Hela was always either training or teaching her siblings how to fight.

Bucky was not living in Phixheim. He was living in Sakaar and worked there. Amy had grown very famous on Earth for her paintings. Leo was in his teens. He was always experimenting with something. But also sometimes went out to help in keeping peace in the Universe.

Ragnarok had been living with Dobby all that time. They had struck up a very good friendship. There was calm all these years, but Alex knew that it was going to change soon. Various events will start to take place on Earth. So he decided to move back to Earth, as a part-time bartender in Westeros Bar, and his official return to Earth would come later. All the kids had already grown old enough so he wasn't very worried about them. They could all come to him anytime if they needed something. Olivia was also working on Earth at her Kindheart foundation. She had forged a new identity to work.

...

Westeros Bar,

Alexander popped in the backside and entered the bar. Thanks to various branches they opened around the city. It was not very crowded anymore. They also added a charm on the door so that only people in need of help, characters of MCU, Journalists, and other important people would feel like coming in. Other Normal people wouldn't.

Dobby and Ragnarok sat on the customer side of the bar counter. Alexander went by himself and made himself a nice drink.

"You two want anything?" Alexander asked.

"Am alright, Boss."

"One beer for me," Ragnarok said.

Alexander looked around and saw that it was just them in the bar. "Where's Maria, Dobby?"

"Oh, Frank came back from Afghanistan. Frank said that his family has this ritual where he takes them to Central Park for a picnic." Ragnarok informed.

"Haha, good man. We should go out too. Our old bodies should breathe some fresh air once in a while." Alexander suggested.

"I agree with you, but Centre Park is far from having fresh air," Dobby muttered and got up. The three locked the door and crossed the street. The park was just across the street from where Westeros Bar was.

The park was filled with families and children playing and running around.

"Ah, look, there they are." Ragnarok pointed to the Castle family.

They went to them to say hello.

"How are you, son?" Alexander spoke.

Frank turned around and saw three old people. He smiled at Alexander. "Fit and Fine, Sir. How are you?"

"Haha, as old as you last saw me."

"Grandpaa" Lisa and little Frank ran to him. Alexander spoiled them by giving them chocolates. Alexander knew the Castle family for a while now. He had met Maria when she was desperately looking for a job. She had just given birth and her husband had gone for army training. She needed money. So he had offered her a job at Westeros bar. Since then, she's been working there and it also became Frank's hangout place.

"Where were you for so long, Uncle?" Maria asked.

"Oh, I was busy with work. Just found time to relax with these fools now." He pointed at Dobby and Ragnarok.

*BANG*

A loud gunshot came. Then multiple gunshots sounded. Alexander knew Frank Castle would become Punisher if his family died that day, but he couldn't bring himself to let Maria and the children die just to make Frank, Punisher. If things went well, Frank would still become Punisher, albeit a bit less violent.

Alexander silently stood while everyone else in the park was screaming or running away. Frank quickly covered his wife and kids. Then he remembered the 3 Old men and was surprised to see them relaxingly standing like nothing was happening. Then he noticed Alexander waving his fingers secretly. Wherever his finger pointed the shooter fell.

Alexander controlled all the flying bullets and made the two hired gangs really kill each other. He made sure that no innocent was harmed. After a while, the gunshots stopped.

All the people started getting up from the ground. Parents hugged their children with tears in their eyes.

Frank was doing the same. The kids were scared. So Alexander gave them more chocolates to make them a bit happier.

"Let's go to the bar. It's not a good sight here." He suggested.

Maria and Frank quickly gathered their stuff and left with them.

Frank still had confusion in his mind about what Alexander did. He knew about mutants and for now, he was guessing that Alexander was one. He didn't have anything against mutants, they were people with feelings just like him.

"Maria, you can take them to the spare apartment and let them sleep," Dobby advised her once they reached the bar.

Soon it was just Frank and them, and Frank spoke. "What were you doing with your finger back then?"

"Saving you and others. Francis David Castle Sr, I came to save you because I know your future. That was no gang war. It was a facade, set up to get you killed." Alexander revealed.

Frank was shocked, "Why would someone want to kill me?"

"Try to remember, didn't you see something in Afghanistan? A certain Murder? A video?"

Frank's eyes widened when he realized. "But who ordered them?"

"Let me show you, your alternate future as well as those who wanted you dead." Alexander tapped his finger on Frank's forehead.

Frank suddenly saw the scenes. His family's death and those responsible for it.

"I... I will kill them all." Frank growled in rage.

"And I will not stop you. But you must sign a contract with Nevaeh Industries first. You will be leaving the army and will work for the company as its security head. This is all after you are done with revenge. You can go after Schoonover as he's already a drug lord. Leave Agenda Orange to me. Don't worry, their crimes will be coming out in public soon." He assured.

Frank saw no harm in it and signed the contract. He went upstairs, said bye to his family, and left to hunt Schoonover with his full gear on. On the other hand, Alexander just made a call and Agent Orange was caught.

...

The next day,

In the News,

[We bring you breaking news, the shoot-out case at Central Park yesterday has taken a new turn. It turns out that it was a ploy to get a man killed. The gangs were hired by the notorious drug lord by the name of Blacksmith. The Blacksmith was actually Colonel Ray Schoonover. He was smuggling drugs from Afganistan in deceased bodies of U.S. soldiers. Another man named William Rawlings, the chief special agent was also heavily involved in it. Both these men were found brutally murdered when the police went to arrest them, the two were allegedly strangled with their own intestines. This incident raises various questions, who can we trust if our protectors have turned into our exploiters....]

Frank changed the channel for the kids. They were all still in the bar and the kids were having breakfast. Frank just quietly looked at Alexander with a thankful gaze and nodded.

Alexander did the same and went on to talk with Dobby and Ragnarok. Frank Castle, the Punisher was now officially a part of Alexander's camp.
