One week later,
To reach the place called Vormir was not easy. They had to pass through a storm that was raging through the solar system at that time. Even the planet resided near a black hole, which made things worse.
Hector's knowledge about the planet was from the movie, and it was supposed to be a dark hellish planet with pointy mountains and water maybe. It was undoubtedly ominous.
"It's so scary," Yelena hid behind Hector's legs as they watched the planet while the ship descended to the ground.
Jean also nodded, "Yup, this is really creepy."
"We won't be staying here for too long, don't worry. And nobody lives here except one being. So let's move. Adam is probably waiting for us at the peak." Hector pressed the button to open the hatch.
Wonder Woman looked down, "Is that deep ocean?"
"No, just shallow water. It won't even come up to your knee. Yelena will drown, though." He scared the little one.
*BAM* She climbed Hector's coat and sat on his shoulder, "Hehe, I sit on freedom grandpa then,"
~Well, I was not going to take you along originally.~
They walked out and headed towards the tallest peak they could see. Some sort of light was also falling on it from the sky as if they were in a game and it was a marker.
Hector tried to sense any kind of living thing on the planet, as the name Vormir rhymes with worms. But no such thing was there. The place was dead as the original Kennedy in a nice roofless car.
"What are you looking for here?" Diana asked, still doing her crash course in knowledge about the current Universe. Hector had no way of getting her encyclopaedia about Earth for now, though, as the datapads didn't have information regarding Earth.
"Yes, why are we even here? I don't like this place," Natasha added.
Hector looked at the young girl. He had never seen Natasha conveying her feelings openly; this was strange. ~Maybe... Some unconscious effect on her since she died here in an alternate future,~
"To get stronger. What I'm about to tell you all is a big secret, not that I care for, but if you want the Universe to be at peace, you won't tell anybody else. The thing I am looking for is called an Infinity Stone.
"Before the Universe began, six singularities existed. The Big Bang then formed concentrated crystals out of them and sent the six stones hurtling throughout the Universe. Each stone represented a different aspect of the Universe. They are Space, Mind, Reality, Power, Time, and Soul.
"Jean, you probably know about Hydra, the same folks Captain America died fighting. Yes, they had possession of one of those stones. Only beings of immense power can directly wield the Stones. So, I'm here,"
"How powerful are they?" Jean inquired.
He replied, giving them a shock, "Well, with Space stone, you can go anywhere in the Universe. With a time stone, you can control time to your wish; you can control all minds with a mind stone. If you hold all stones, you can bend the Universe to your will or even destroy it."
"Such powers... it's like the mother boxes." Diana muttered.
"Mother what? It's such a strange name. Is that a weapon?" Jean inquired.
Diana nodded, "There are three of them. They are like living computers. Their abilities are not completely the same as what Mister Washington calls Infinity Stones, but they can do a wide range of things, from molecular and genetic mutation and terraforming to creating teleportation tubes. My fellow heroes and I fought to protect these mother boxes from falling into the wrong hands, especially Darkseid."
"Dark-seed? Does it grow apple tree?" Yelena asked her.
Diana's face fell, and dark memories resurfaced, "No... he was extremely powerful—killed Superman and destroyed Earth."
Hector patted her shoulder, "About this, let's talk later. But don't dishearten yourself. As long as you are alive, there is always hope."
She nodded, "Batman's ghost had said the same thing."
Hector decided to not talk about her past right now, or she might end up crying. Instead, she needed slow talk and a steady change in her surroundings. That's why Moony and Yelena were given this job.
"Woof!"
"I know, son. You don't like water. But this is work. Look, it's right up those stairs."
They started to climb the last stretch of the trek. For Yelena, it was fun as she sang twinkle twinkle.
"Mister President!"
Adam's voice reached them. He was waiting for Hector, and beside him were two more people, some aliens, one male and one female. They had red skin and pointy ears. Hector didn't even know who they were.
"I believe you have taken all the measures I asked you to?"
Adam nodded and handed him the datapad, "Yes, as you wished, I found these two in a minor Nova Empire's prison. They match what you want."
"What are they here for?" Jean inquired.
"Wait and watch,"
They arrived at the top of the mountain. In front of them was a weird stone slap on the floor, beyond which was a steep cliff. There were also two towers on the sides, making it look like a ritual site.
"Where is the stone, Mister President?" Adam asked him, not being able to control himself. He had wished for this moment for so many years now; a soul was finally within sight.
"Just wait. He must be coming soon."
Hector looked left and right and awaited for the Red Skull to appear. Natasha, meanwhile, went closer to the cliff and looked down at the depth. She quickly took a step back in fright.
"I can probably fly over it," Jean muttered beside her.
Natasha sighed, "I envy those who can fly,"
"To ensure that whoever possesses it understands its power, the stone demands a sacrifice,"
Then came the ghostly voice of Red Skull, the man of the hour. Hector scoffed, "Ah, Red Skull, Schmidt, Simper of Stones, you're just like those twitch simps. You spent your life chasing after something, wasting energy and money, yet you can only watch over what you can't possess. While someone else enjoys it."
"Is the stone here, or did someone take it?" That was all Hector wanted to know.
"If it was gone, I would have been too."
Hector didn't hear him anymore. He had the answer. Looking back at the two prisoners, he told Adam to take off their blindfolds.
The male and female prisoners hugged each other immediately and started crying. Hector gave them the offer, "Do you love each other? If yes, I have a deal. If one of you jumps from this cliff, I will consider letting the other one go."
"WHAT? No, we want to go back to prison," they demanded.
Adam briefed them, "I bribed the prison guards to take you out. You two are not criminals anymore."
"You are asking one of us to die; this is madness," the female alien shouted.
*BAM*
Hector picked her up from the skull, "It wasn't madness when you mindlessly were selling alien children to the slavery of all kinds? You two are one of the scummiest criminals in the galaxy. That's why I chose you. Just because you two couldn't have a baby, you decided nobody deserved that happiness?"
"They what?" Jean and Diana exclaimed.
"What's slavery?" Yelena asked. Natasha took her to the side to tell her. After all, they were slaves of the Red Room too.
"So, if you two really love each other and want to see the other one free, then one of you must jump. You may decide who it's going to be." Hector repeated loud and clear.
Silence took over all of a sudden. It was a shock to them, but they came to terms with it. First, they kissed each other, and then they started to fight over who would jump. Both wanted to do it. They loved each other. That was the only good thing they had. And the reason why they were here.
"No, I will,"
"I WILL STOP YOU!"
They started fighting each other to jump. But it was not as badass or meaningful as Clint and Natasha's moment. These two were sloppy, and Hector had no pity. They were enslavers of kids.
"I LOVE YOUUUuuuu..." The woman ended up jumping after her husband tripped on a rock and fell back.
*THUD*
She died, and the husband crawled to the cliff and started crying, "WHORAAAA! NOOOO!"
Hector was excitedly rubbing his hands, ignoring how dark the scenes were. Even Diana and Jean felt something, but he and Adam didn't.
However, 10 minutes passed, and the man was still crying. He didn't disappear to appear in a puddle with the stone in his hand.
"WHORA! YOU CAN'T DIE!"
Hector started to frown. He turned to Red Skull and grabbed his tattered robes from the neck, "WHAT IS THIS? Why doesn't he have the soul stone?"
Red Skull didn't have any expressions on his face, but his voice had smugness, "As I said, 'To ensure that whoever possesses it understands its power, the stone demands a sacrifice' The woman didn't have the stone in her mind. She only wanted freedom for her lover. Hence, the stone remains where it was."
"DAMN IT!" Hector threw Red Skull away.
His simple plan failed, and now he had no idea what to do. He couldn't really kill Moony just for that crap stone. The boy was more precious than even his own life.
