Capítulo 171: 171. War On Racism
Edward Buckman got ready to face the question. He also had a gun in his suit and slowly tried to go after it.
Sebastian looked at him, "You have anything to say, Edward? Last I heard, you said you were going to build us an army of sentinels."
"It's false. Mr. Universe must have heard it wrong." Edward tried to justify.
Suddenly Alexander took out a file from somewhere and handed it to Emma and Sebastian. "Look for yourself. You know, I can arrest you all for spreading hate and conspiring against the country. Creating and funding a mutant killer robot army is a pretty high-level crime if it reaches the public."
He then pointed his finger at Edward, "Sit down and confess everything."
He handed a camera to Carol, "Dear, would you please record his confession."
"Sure, sir." She nearly saluted.
Alexander fed him some Truth potion and he started revealing all his plans.
"I-I hate mutants. They should all be dead. I hate it that they have powers but not me." He blurted.
Alexander started questioning, "Are you running propaganda to instigate the public to hurt mutants?"
"Yes, I am. If the public starts attacking them then the mutants will surely retaliate, then I'll find it easier to deploy my killer robots who will find and kill mutants." He confessed.
"But don't all humans have an X gene in their DNA which is responsible for some people activating it and mutating. What if the killer robots start seeing everyone as a mutant due to the X gene?" He questioned.
"Then they all will die. Only pure ones should be allowed to live." He fanatically claimed.
"Then I'm afraid every human will die as we all have the X gene in our bodies. That's just how humans were made. Also, do you really think mutants are the weak ones? No, they aren't. They just aren't interested in taking over the world. They only want to live peacefully. Hitler, Mussolini were not mutants. They were humans who killed millions. So your argument that Normal humans are superior is invalid. Now you'll be arrested and repeat everything you said in front of the world, after that you will be punished." He cuffed him down.
Then he looked at Sebastian and Emma, "You two can run this club as you want. But I'd suggest you forget your world domination ambitions. Or else you might find yourself standing against me. And believe me, you don't want that."
His voice radiated the dangerous aura which made both Sebastian and Emma shudder.
"I hope you make the right choice"
He grabbed Edward and apparated to Helicarrier with him and Carol.
...
Mutant rights were a big issue around the world. Although Alexander had done a lot but the people still had the same disgusting thinking. There were many people who were working for Mutant rights. Some took a direct approach like the X-Men, who tried to change people by good deeds. Then there were some people in the government secretly working for that.
One of them was Senator Connor. He worked for Mutant rights not just because he was secretly a mutant but because it was the right thing to do.
He had heard of many children who were killed by angry mobs because the child had an uncontrollable outburst and mutated in front of people. Sometimes the mutation was unrecognizable but sometimes it was more direct due to physical mutation of body. Some might change the color of their body, some might grow scales. There was no knowing what would happen.
He was against the mutant registration act proposed by Senator Kelly. But it still got passed. Now it was unlawful to be an unregistered mutant.
Connor only had a little sister as a family. She was just 6 years old and he wanted to make the world a better place for her if someday she also awakens as a mutant. He treated her like a daughter though, due to their big age gap.
It was a normal day for him. Just like every day, he was going to pick his sister up from school. He drove his car to the school but on his way, he saw an anti-mutant rally going on. People were showing banners of Mutants not welcome, God hates mutants and such.
People were just shouting and cursing. He couldn't take his car further so he parked it at the side and walked to the school. While walking through the crowd he saw a glimpse of his little sister running around with some other children. He got scared and made his way to here.
Then it happened, In front of his horror-filled eyes, she tripped in the middle of the marching crowd. She was too small for people to notice her. He ran towards her as fast as he could.
But then someone suddenly shouted. The crowd started to split. In the middle was his little sister. Getting up slowly. But something had happened. Her face had changed. Her face had changed. It was disfigured and didn't look human.
The people realized that it was a mutant and started shouting at her. The little girl felt scared and tightly held her doll as her now huge eyes turned watery.
Connor didn't know what to do. He had to get her out of there somehow.
"Leave her alone" a man with wings came down from the sky with some other people.

Connor recognized them as one of the X-Men. They shielded her. But the crowd got more agitated and started throwing rocks or whatever they caught. He tried to squeeze himself towards the center.
He had nearly reached the center. But he noticed someone had a gun in their hand. He was holding it out to shoot. Connor quickly dashed to stop him.
*BOOM*
A loud gunshot sounded. It was enough to disperse the cowardly crowd. The little girl then noticed her big brother on the ground and ran up to him.
"Big Brother, I'm sorry. I went out of school." She cried. Connor was shot and bled profusely. His mutant ability only gave him the power to make 5 temporary clones of himself. But that was it. He didn't have any super strength or anything like that. His ability was only useful when it came to working as a politician.
He caressed the disfigured face of his little sister, Jenny. She hadn't realized what had happened to her body yet. But Connor was at ease knowing that the X-Men would take her with them.
All the protesters were looking at it all from the sidelines like it was some show. The X-Men were trying to save Connor but to no avail.
...
Alexander and Dobby were on their way to Westeros bar. It had become the hangout place of all the superheroes.
While they were walking, they heard loud noises some streets away. So they took a detour and went to see what was happening.
Dobby saw it and felt disgusted, the protests reminded him of how the house-elves were treated in Potterverse. He was now curious to find out what happened there in all the years.
"Boss, look. There's a little girl stuck in the middle." Dobby pointed.
Soon the gunshot happened and everything became clear. Alexander put his General Uniform back on and walked to the man on the ground.
He pointed his hand towards the man who shot. The man instantly fell down as his hands and feet were placed in metal cuffs.
"So this is what I fought for? This is the land of the free?" He loudly spoke, making people around him feel ashamed. Soon he came close to the man and put his hand on the wound.
"It's alright, son. You'll be alright. You won't die today." He warmly said.
Connor looked at Alexander hopefully. Then he suddenly felt like the strength he lost had returned. He moved slightly and it didn't ache anymore.
Alexander had already healed him and was now caressing the deformed girl.
"Hey, little one. What's your name?" He asked.
She was scared and meekly answered, "Jenny."
"That is a very pretty name. Here, take this chocolate. Also this plushie." He took things out from thin air. She quickly felt elated and held everything in her arms tightly. Alexander felt very bad for the girl. Her physical deformity would haunt her whole life.
~I guess it's time to go back to researching.~ he decided to make a potion that would give deformed mutants the ability to return back to their normal human looks. He understood that not all mutant powers were helpful. Some were more like a curse.
Just like what happened with Jenny. Her power made her body stronger but her looks were a curse.
Alexander stood up and looked at the crowd around him, "GO HOME, if you really want to know the truth about everything then watch my speech tomorrow at the UN General Assembly."
He then cast a charm that made all the protesters lose all their motivation and energy to protest and soon they all left.
Alexander had decided, the first thing he'd do after becoming the president will be to start a war on such racism.
