Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 165: Better Luck Next Time

Nick Fury's meeting with the council didn't go as planned. Fury only knew that the SHIELD was compromised but he didn't know who the members of Hydra were.

In the end, the council unanimously decided to nuke New York. Foolishly thinking that it would stop the aliens. They had also planned that the whole mass murder would be forgotten in the name of heroes sacrificing themselves.

The council was only formed to oversee the SHIELD but they had overstepped their authority. Without Fury's approval, no such strike could be made. But Fury underestimated their influence and the two jets took off from Helicarrier.

Fury was angry but happy inside because of what Alexander had planned. Fury quickly sent the recording of the meeting to various news channels.

Alexander's people made sure that the council was shown in a wrong light and the SHIELD was shown as the good guys who brought the heroes together. In the end, all the blame would be taken by corrupt politicians.

Fury quickly called Alexander and informed him, "Sir, the nukes are headed to you."

"Alright, I'll take care of them. Don't worry." Alexander replied.

...

Alexander had already stopped more Chitauries from entering with his net over the portal. But to others' surprise, he had stopped them from closing the portal.

He was instead meeting and talking with everyone. The X-Men, Fantastic Four, and The Avengers. As none of them knew his real identity due to his unrecognizing charm they were all surprised.

Thor had become fully careless after Alexander's arrival and was just messing around with petrified Loki.

"Uncle, please help Loki. He's still not talking." Thor said.

Alexander just took the Scepter and touched Loki's chest with it. Suddenly Loki stood up like all the chains holding him broke down and he started breathing loudly.

"Huf... You... have... no idea... how it feels." He complained.

Alexander quickly gave him a calming draught which calmed him down.

Then Loki spoke to Alexander, "Sir, I didn't do it willingly. It's all Thanos' doing. He wants these two."

Loki was afraid that Alexander would misunderstand him. He very much wanted to be with Medusa.

Alexander only laughed, "Hahaha... Just relax, kid. I know everything. Relax."

Steve slowly walked up to Alexander, "Sir, is... Is this really you?"

Alexander turned around and gave him a hug, "hahaha... Steve, my boy. Yes, it's me. You still have my card, don't you? By the way, take me to Peggy after this. I'll get you your dance with her."

Alexander's words and how he acted confirmed he was the real deal in Steve's mind. Steve then gave back a hug.

"Welcome back, old man." He whispered. He rarely called him, old man.

"Excuse me, why aren't we closing that giant hole in the sky?" Tony asked.

"Oh, they have launched two nukes at the city. Wanting to stop the invasion by killing them, including us and millions of civilians." He stated.

Everyone turned silent for a second before asking questions.

"Just watch the television, why are you asking me?" He told them. Tony quickly projected a screen with the news. It was showing that some politicians had decided to nuke the city. They didn't even get authorization from the president.

Magneto shook his head sadly, "They don't care about anyone except themselves"

Alexander quickly looked at him, "Hold on boy, before you go all Hitler again, just remember that I'm back, Officially. I'll make things good now."

Leonidas pointed his finger at a distance, "Dada, look."

Alexander noticed it and flew up, "Wait for me, everyone. We'll have a party after I'm done here."

He flew to the nukes and transfigured them into plushie toys. Then flew towards the portal. Once there he removed the net, stopping the aliens. A simple Fiendfyre burned down the horde of aliens waiting there for an opportunity to enter.

He crossed the portal and saw Thanos' big ship. He wasn't going to kill him for now as he had a bigger role to play. But he did send those two nukes to his ship. It would surely set back his plans.

"Son, close the portal." He told Leo on the ground.

...

Leonidas swiftly moved to the machine and stopped it by taking out the tesseract.

"Wait, he hasn't come back yet," Steve called out.

Leonidas chuckled, "Space is not something that can stop him."

...

Alexander waited because he was recording the video of the destruction of Thanos' ship.

To spread salt on Thanos' wounds, he magically wrote something with the universal language.

"Better luck next time," an image of his face with the iconic pose of 'ayeee' was also there.

The portal had already closed by then so he just apparated back. Only he could apparate such distances because he had Apec.

Everything was being shown live to the whole world and his return brought joy to everyone and they all cheered

"What do we do with them?" Natasha asked, pointing to Tesseract and Cube.

"SHIELD will take care of it. Let's go to Tony's tower. This one has been too damaged." He proposed. Universe tower was the victim of Alien and Avengers fight this time.

Tony couldn't be happier, "Haha, in the end, my tower won. Let's go, everyone."

So many of the people present could fly that they all straight up flew to Stark tower with non-flying members in their arms.

Alexander noticed Leonidas carrying Natasha from the corner of his eye. Natasha was a good girl and he couldn't be happier if they became a couple.

"Tony, do you know who owns that building?" Alexander asked as he flew beside him.

"Nope, don't know, don't care." He shrugged.

"Haha, I am the owner, boy." Alexander waved his hand and in front of Tony's horror-filled eyes. The Universe Tower was repaired to its former glory. Now standing higher than Stark Tower.

"Come on, that's not fair. That's cheating." Tony complained as his number one spot was taken away again.

"HAHAHA." Alexander just loudly laughed and went to Stark Tower.

Once there, he purposely put the tesseract and Scepter in a corner where no one could see it. Then he secretly kept an eye on it.

...

Future versions of Tony, Scott, and Steve had taken their places. They saw the whole fight outside and Alexander's crazy powers. They didn't want to mess with a man of that caliber and acted very carefully now.

But they were wrong about something. Things were so different here than in their own world. For some reason, there were so many more superheroes. Not just that, the Tesseract and the Scepter were in front of them. Just for them to take.

Tony talked to tiny Scott. "Go, bring those two boxes here."

Scott didn't go and started speaking, "Argh...I think we should wait. You know, this is just like my high school math exam. When you feel it's too easy, you are wrong."

Tony just rolled his eyes, "Come on. Just bring them here."

"Alright, alright." Scott ran to the two boxes, put them on top of one another, and dragged them to future Tony slowly.

Tony nervously kept on looking around to make sure no one caught them. But then he noticed it. The old monster was looking at him. Straight into his eyes. His heart sank at that moment.

"He saw us. Run, Scott," Tony called.

Scott being his clumsy self, "What? Who saw us?"

Before Tony could say anything he received some words in his mind.

~Just take them quietly, kid.~

Tony was flabbergasted. Not wanting to find out what was happening he made a small leap and picked up the two suitcases. Scott jumped on his back and they flew out of the building.

He then contacted Steve, "We got them, Cap. We got them both. Let's go back now."

He was certainly happy but still going crazy inside as to why that old man gave it to them.

Once they regrouped together they decided to leave.

"You won't believe the things that happened today." Bruce tiredly said.

"Yeah, buddy, same here. Let's end this now." Tony replied and they vanished.

...

Just a second after Tony and Scott had left, the Tesseract and the Scepter returned back to their place magically.

Alexander then happily joined the small party going on. Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Avengers mingling with each other was very nice.

Reed Richards came to Alexander and shook hands with him. Alexander was the idol of nearly everyone present in the room. After his death, so many comics and movies were made that even non-Americans knew his face and name.

Reed gratefully thanked Alexander, "Thank you for bringing Franklin that day and I'm sorry we didn't recognize you back then."

Charles walked up to them and added, "It's not just you, Reed. Even I couldn't recognize him."

Alexander scratched his beard, "haha... I was using magic that made it impossible to recognize me. But it's all cool now. How is Franklin, Reed?"

Reed took a sip of his drink, "I did some tests. He's indeed above Omega. But he's too small and the powers are a danger to himself and everyone around him."

Alexander understood his pain and offered help, "Maybe I can make an artifact that can subside his powers until he reaches maturity."

"I'll be forever grateful for this." Reed happily accepted the help.

"Institute for gifted children will always be open for him, Reed," Charles suggested.

But Alexander interrupted them, "Haha... By the time little Franklin grows I'll turn this planet from anti-mutant to pro-mutant. Seriously, I think that mutants can be a big boon to our world if wholeheartedly accepted."

*DING*

The talking noise in the room was disrupted when some people arrogantly entered.

[A/N: Alright. Hear me out. I just realized why Dada feels weird for you all. That is because you don't read it the way I do. Most of you probably say it as 'Dad+a' while I read it as 'Da+da'.

The first one makes it sound like Dad but the other one doesn't. Remember, Black panther also calls his father 'Baba']
