------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peace was a rare occurrence in the Marvel Universe, or any universe for that matter, even the one from where I came. But with the events of Captain Marvel already behind me, peace was finally here. For at least a decade that is.

I remembered a few things about the MCU, one was that I had until 2004 to plan and become stronger, for in 2004 the events leading to END game would begin, with the birth of the Hulk.

From that point, I would have around fifteen years to prepare for Thanos and his army, meaning this decade without important events was the decade of my making, a decade I would use to become the strongest I could possibly be.

My plan? Dungeons, Dungeons, and more dungeons. In short, I would travel around the world collecting dungeons, and doing them, in a grindy manner. All while I came back home to be a dad. Portals were sure handy when it came to that, for no matter where I went, I had access to my home at any given time.

"Ten years." I chuckled, looking at the sky as I did so, from the window of my penthouse in New York. "Ten years to prepare for what is coming." Ten years before MCU phase one really started, ten years before the threat of the Mad Titan became a real shadow looming above us.

In reality, I had a bit more than twenty years to prepare for the events of Infinity War, and End Game. If things went well, I would be ready. But for now, my timeline was that, ten years, or 9 years and 6 months to be precise.

"Dad." Emily said, getting my attention. [Emily Walker LV 35]

I looked at her, and I couldn't help but feel proud of how strong she already was, of how strong she would be. "Yes sweetie?"

"Can we watch a movie tonight?" Emily asked, with puppy eyes activated.

"Sure, but first clean your room." I winked.

"Okay!" And with that, she ran towards her room with a happy smile on her face.

"Ten years." I chuckled. "More than enough time." I chuckled. "More than enough time to become the Mad Titan's killer."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next day, I woke up to start my long prep for what was to come. Of course, first I took Emily to school, and then I went to my day job, which was basically supervising my company and my investments. After that, I would go and do some dungeons I had found before the events of Captain Marvel that were around my level.

One more reason to love my satellite, it shows me where every dungeon and raid is in the entire globe, giving me easy access to them. Lamentably enough, raids are way above my current level, heck the earliest raid is level 250, but eventually I would get there, I was after all, level 157. Heck some of the raids were even level 500 and higher, I can only imagine how hard those babies are, I will probably need a group for them, like one does in a normal raid.

Anyway, back to what I was doing, working and making some money.

"Time to work." I smiled, opening a portal to my office in my company.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Working as the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER for my own company was incredibly dull, and bland. But life was not always full of thrill and excitement, so in the end, I was happy with a bit of monotony.

I mean, a few years ago I used to be a college student watching movies with his friends, and now… now I am a dad, a warrior, and in a way, a prophet.

Though, regardless of my love for the new shade of monotony in my life, I needed to find someone to take care of my company if I wanted it to actually grow, a CEO capable of running the train without my constant supervision, someone making money for me.

Perhaps I could steal Pepper from Tony… nah, she is much too young right now to be leading a company, also I need someone with knowledge in physics and other sciences.

"Sir." My secretary knocked at the door of my office.

"Yes?" I replied, looking at the door as I did so.

"Hank's Pizza is here." Oh my lunch was here… wait a minute… HANK, HANK PYM, he can be my CEO, he's smart, and fills all the criteria boxes.

"Keep the pizza, I have something to do!" I replied as I pulled my phone from my pocket to call Fury.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Nick Fury POV]

Two weeks in hawaii, and I lose a fucking eye to one of them terrorist bitches, I didn't lose the fucking eye to Hydra, nor to the space bitch patrol, but to humans, Alex won't ever let this die down, and what's even worse, Bucky now has material to work with. "Coulson, you do the paperwork, I have shit to do." I ordered, as I walked to my quarters.

If there was any consolation to this, it was that at least, soon enough I would have no need for doing such missions, with the current Director of SHIELD retiring, and naming my ass as he successor and all, I would be the one giving the missions.

~A bitch it's calling, answer the phone~

Alex is calling huh. "Hello." I said, taking the call. Already imagining what came next, ~Fury I need your help.~

"Fury, I need your help." Haha! Fucking nailed it.

"What is it this time?" I asked with a chuckle.

"I need to know where Hank Pym lives." Alex replied, sounding rather excited about all of this.

"I think I can find that information, but can I know why?" I asked, curious as to why he wanted to know where an ex-agent of SHIELD lived.

"I need a CEO with knowledge in genetics, physics, and other sciences to help me out with my company, and well, Hank is probably my best choice!" Alex replied. "Funny enough, if he says no, I will try and hire the furry version of Hank, both work just fine."

The furry version of… I really won the lottery with this brother. "Sure, I will find you the address, but you owe me one." and that one would be not making fun of my eye situation.

"Sure." Alex replied. "So… how is work?" he asked after a second of silence.

"Good, nothing as exciting as stopping an alien invasion, but enough to keep me busy." I replied with a chuckle.

"I like that, not having to deal with constant lethal threats." Alex replied, with a long tired tone, one that I could fully comprehend.

"I know how you feel… but it is what it is, we have the curse of caring, and the knowledge to do something about it, so here we are, two man fucking the world." I replied with a sigh, my hand on where it used to be my eye. "At least you have power though, I be fighting monsters with a gun." I added with a chuckle.

"I suppose it's true." Alex chuckled. "Well… I have to go, text me with the address."

"Sure, take care. And remember, movie night with Emily tomorrow." That little girl was terrifying, somehow she had managed to guess my passcode to my calendar, to add my dates with her on it.

"I know." Alex chuckled. "I have twenty two reminders on my phone, and ten on my fridge."

"Haha." I chuckled.

"Okay, take care." Alex sighed.

"Bye." I smiled, hanging up the phone.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Within a week, Fury found the information I needed, and so I embarked on a small journey to meet with Hank Pym. At the door of his two story house, I knocked at the door, and waited, wondering if he would even accept my offer.

Opening the door, a man in his fifties greeted me, his eyes giving a wary look as he did so. "What can I do for you?" he asked. [Hank Pym LV 30]

"Hello Mr. Pym, my name is Alex Walker, and I… Well, I have a proposition to make." I said, extending my hand for a handshake.

"I am not interested." He almost growled.

"Why is that?" I asked, I mean, he had yet to hear my offer.

"I know what you want, this is not the first time THEY try something like that." He scoffed, getting angrier by the second. "I won't give anyone the formula."

With a smile, I shook my head. "I don't work for them, and even if I did, I have no interest in your formula Mr. Pym." I grinned. "All I want is some… help with my company, nothing more, nothing less."

He stared at me, as if trying to find the lie within my words. "You say you don't work for them, but you still know about them… excuse my skepticism but, I don't believe you." he snarled, throwing the door in my face. But as he did so, I opened a portal behind him.

"I really have no interest in your Pym particles." I said, startling the man who in turn punched me in the face out of instinct. The punch did nothing.

"How did… Nevermind, get out of my house!" He roared, his eyes piercing me like two spears.

"Mr. Pym, I need a scientist to lead my company, not your invention. I assure you, if you give me a minute of your time, you will see all I need is a CEO, one with experience being a scientist." I said, trying to sound as friendly as possible.

"One minute. And then you're gone!" He sighed, gesturing to me to go into his living room in a rather angry manner.

"Thanks, and sorry for the troubles." I smiled, walking into the living room.

Taking a seat, Hank glared at me and said. "Speak, you have one minute, make it worthwhile."

"I have a company that is barely starting out. It specializes in genetics, nanotechnology and human enhancements, as well as molecular and atomic studies. But as of now, it's a money funnel for me, because while smart, I am no scientist, but you are." I said, taking a seat on one of the chairs in his living room. "You are correct to assume I worked with SHIELD, but it was more like an alliance of sorts, we shared the same enemy, and we both teamed up to destroy it."

"What enemy?" Hank asked.

"Hydra." I replied. "They kidnapped me, and tried to… well break me, but in the end, it was me who broke them. In a way." I chuckled.

He stared at me, processing all the information I had just unloaded. "And your partnership with them ended?" he eventually asked.

"I suppose it did. I no longer help them." I replied, for Fury didn't count as SHIELD helping me for me, he was my bro.

"Let's say I believe you." He said, his eyes on the floor. "Let's say that you really don't want my formula, what is it that you want me to do?"

"Help me become a billionaire?" I chuckled. "Look, your formula, your magnum opus, it's yours, what I want it's not only to become a rich man, a very rich man, but to help humanity in the process."

Hank looked at me, and in his eyes I could see a spark of something akin to wishful thinking, like he really wanted to believe me. "Does SHIELD know you're here?" he asked.

"Yes, but worry not. I was clear on my demands, that you were to be left alone." A demand Fury was not happy with, but considering SHIELD considered me an asset bigger than Hank Pym, they complied.

"And you believed them?" He chuckled in a dark tone. "You must be a fool."

"Perhaps." I nodded. "But I am a fool with the power to destroy SHIELD, should they prove to be a nuisance." I smiled. "I alone killed thousands of Hydra bases, SHIELD wants me more than it wants you, and it fears me more than it fears you, as long as I help them every now and then, they will help me every now and then, besides, they know they can't lie to me, my powers make than an impossibility."

"Your powers?" Hank asked with a bit of interest.

"I can… see where everyone's true alliance lies with, so no matter how good a spy is…" I grinned.

"You can see it…" He finished for me. "Remarkable."

"Look, as of now, all of my employees are ex-SHIELD scientists, but should you take this job, you would be free to hire and fire everyone you like." I said.

"If I take this… job, there are some ground rules we need to discuss." Yes! He was giving in! "One, no SHIELD for me, you can keep your alliance with them, but keep them as far away as possible for me."

"I can do that." I nodded.

"Two, my work, my magnum opus as you accurately described is mine, and mine alone, you don't talk about it, you don't ask about it, you don't research about it, understood?" He said, with a tone of finality.

"Of course." I nodded, once again.

"And last, but not least, if I am to be your lead scientist, your CEO, I want to be your partner, not your employee." He finished.

"That can be arranged." I nodded, I mean, I was already prepared to offer him a partnership.

"Then, let's talk business, kid." Hank said, with just the hint of a smile. He was like an onion, with many layers of shit, but a soft center.

"Gladly." I smiled, looking at the clock. "Would you look at that, you gave me four minutes."
