Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

The next day the ex-council members were executed. It wasn't publicized though. On the other hand, the news about the execution of Ronan was publicized. It was also announced that Alexander would be revealing information at the General Assembly. This made a lot of people interested in the General Assembly for the first time.

That day he spent some time in the Universe Tower and talked with his soon to become underlings in the U.S. government.

"So, Howard. You will be the Secretary of Defence." Alexander announced.

"Alright, let's make history." Howard sounded positive.

"Ragnarok, you'll be the Secretary of Treasury."

"But, I am not even a citizen." Ragnarok reminded.

Alexander took out a passport from his pocket, "No, you are. You've been a citizen for the past 30 years. Now, Dobby will be my V.P. and Arnold will be Secretary of Finance. Any more questions?"

"Yeah, who's the Secretary of State?" Howard asked.

Alexander shook his head, "Still looking for him."

"Yeah, oh hey, Fury."

"Alright, I'll come and greet her." He put the phone down and looked at everyone.

"Dobby, start making plans for the Presidential Campaign. We'll be having the election by the end of this year. We will be announcing my candidacy after my speech at the General Assembly. Howard, I would like you to do a thorough check of every U.S. defense project going on. No matter how secret I want to know. I'll be leaving now."

He appeared on the Helicarrier. Fury was already waiting for him there. Besides Fury was also a known face.

Carol Danvers had reached Earth and looked for Fury the moment she landed. She was happy that both her friend and the planet were safe.

But currently, she was going through a different sense of emotion. It was excitement. She recognized the newly arrived person. She was in the Air Force and was a fan of War Hero General Universe. But he was also the Emperor Universe, another role model of hers.

Alexander walked up to her and shook hands, "How are you, Captain Marvel."

"Oh, please sir. Call me Carol or just Danvers. I am a huge fan of yours, sir. You have done so well for Earth and the entire universe. I want to be like you someday." She started mumbling.

Fury was surprised by the change of behavior, "Captain, I didn't take you as a fangirling type."

Carol rolled her eyes, "Everyone is a Fangirl of General. Even you. Those who aren't are either living under a rock or just Nazis."

"Haha, I wish you luck in your fights to come, Carol. Now, why did you invite me, Fury?" He asked.

"Sir, I have grave news that you should know. I have received intel that someone is trying to mislead the public to believe that the New York invasion happened because of the Mutants. This has caused a new wave of mutant-hating sentiments. Many crimes have also been reported." Fury showed him some videos.

"Why would they do something like that?" Carol asked.

"Didn't Kree have a discrimination problem? It's much worse here. Humans are too dumb to realize that if the Mutants wanted to rule they'd already be in power. Again and again, normal people let themselves be fed false information. We don't have any lack of conspiracy theory junkies either. Who's behind this, Fury. Tell me." He asked.

"I did try to get to the root of this problem. And this is what I found. There's a social club called Hellfire trading company or Hellfire Club for short. It's filled with some very rich and influential people with 8th grader syndrome. They want to control the world through economic means.

"Their current leader, Edward Buckman, is a secret super mutant hater. He is spending a crazy amount of money to do this. He is also secretly sending funds to some Dr. Stephen Lang, the head of federal research on mutants." Fury briefed

Alexander thought for a second, "Hmm... Would they let me in their club?"

"Of course, you are the Goddamn richest person on this planet." Fury affirmed.

Carol interjected, "Actually, he's the richest man in the Universe."

"Haha... That settles it then. I'll go and check them out. Fury, deploy all SHIELD resources to curb this hate propaganda." He ordered and started to leave.

"Sir, can I join you?" Carol asked.

"Hmm... Sure, but you'll have to dress like a rich proud lady." He advised and let her follow him.

...

He let Carol choose a dress while he talked to Howard.

"What is it, boy?"

"Gramps, do you know anything about this project Sentinal?" He asked.

"Yeah, what happened?"

"Well, I detected a huge amount of funding going into it. Also, it doesn't really have clearance from the Department of Defence. It's probably someone's solo project." Howard informed.

"Ah... Those fools. Sentinal is a machine that finds and kills mutants, Howard. Its current designer, Dr. Stephen Lang, is Anti Mutants. Don't worry, I'm on my way to solving this problem." He assured.

"Alright, I'll keep looking into this stuff." Howard hung up.

Soon Carol also came out in her lavish dress. "You look good in that, child. Let's go."

They got into an expensive car and went to the New York Hellfire Club. The moment he entered the place he sensed the whole structure. The real meeting place was behind some secret doors. The members currently inside were also looking at him through the camera.

He acted the part and started throwing money around. Giving tips and buying drinks for people. While Alexander was there, he had sensed a secret probe into his head. It was probably Emma Frost. Alexander just showed some fake memories making it look like he had a crazy amount of wealth and was looking to expand his business empire by any means.

Alexander had also secretly tampered with Emma's mind to make her think that whatever she saw was real. Otherwise, no one would have believed that the General Universe is actually an evil capitalist.

...

Behind the secret room, three people sat. They were Edward Buckman, Emma Frost, and Sebastian Shaw. Emma was reporting what she saw in his mind.

"He's like us. Filled with determination to expand his business empire. I think we should include him. A man of his standing can be very helpful to us." Emma tried to convince them.

Sebastian Shaw was sold, he liked Alexander and was a fan of movies on him. He felt happy that Alexander was a dreamer like him.

But Edward Buckman was against it. He was afraid that he'd be overpowered by the super-powered members of the club. But he couldn't say that as a reason. In the end, he agreed to at least invite him and talk.

...

Alexander was happily enjoying his drinks when a woman in white clothes came to him.

"Hello, Mr. Universe. May I buy you a drink?" She asked.

"Haha... Since when did young and beautiful women like you start hitting on oldies like me?" He laughed.

Emma chuckled, "Oh, you may look old but you certainly have the same charm as the young you probably had."

"Good, then buy me a drink." He allowed.

"Why don't you join me and my friends in the private room." She suggested.

"Let's go then." He agreed.

"But she can't come." Emma pointed to Carol.

"Oh, she's a very powerful girl. I think we should bring her with us." He advised.

Carol threw a fake punch with her powers leaking a bit. Emma was nothing but happy to have more powerful mutants in their ranks. So she allowed her in.

Once in, they all introduced themselves to him. Sebastian Shaw actually took out a notepad and asked for an autograph.

Alexander happily signed it and relaxed down. "So, this is where the Hellfire Club operates from."

Others weren't surprised as their club wasn't really a private thing. Alexander then looked at Sebastian and asked, "Kid, tell me something. You yourself are a mutant but why do you still support anti-mutant experiments?"

His questions surprised him, "No sir, I don't do that. I am a firm believer in pro mutant rights."

"Then why are you giving money to this Project Sentinel, which is being operated by Dr. Stephen Lang, whose father was an anti-Mutant bigot who created the Mk I Sentinal to kill mutants?" Alexander revealed so much in his simple question.

Sebastian was a smart man and knew what was going on. He has been keeping an eye on increasingly anti-mutant sentiments lately. He looked at Edward Buckman suspiciously. Emma also understood and got ready to enter Edward's mind. Edward pressed a help button in his pocket but for some reason, it didn't work.
