Chương 168: 168. The Party
Settling Gali in Phixheim was easy. Her mindset was that of a child so she hit it pretty well with everyone. She was happy as long as she got tasty food. Rina and Gali now talked about food all day long.
...
Alexander reached the Institute to pick Wanda. He was received warmly by everyone.
"Hey old man. You did pretty well yesterday. Thanks," Logan greeted him. He was absent from yesterday's battle as someone was needed at the Institute.
Alexander surprisingly noticed that Jean was acting like she was very close to him.
"Oh, what is this? Do we have a new couple here?" He teased.
Jean blushed, "Come on Grandpa. Don't make fun."
"Hahaha... Good good. Logan is a good man. I approve. Where is Wanda now?" He looked around.
Soon a redhead girl appeared dragging a suitcase. "I'm here Grandpa. Just finished packing."
She was actually excited knowing that she'd be learning to control her magic. Her father has been telling her for so long that she has very powerful abilities but she was yet to see that.
Magneto came and put her luggage in the car and gave her a hug, "Take care, Wanda."
"Why are you all acting like you'll never see her. She can come here at any moment she wants, you know." Alexander interjected.
"It's alright gramps. They both like to act all squishy." Pietro commented.
Alexander chuckled and looked around. Another family of three was living at Xavier Castle. Hank and Raven had married each other and Kurt had accepted them as his parents. It all again brought happiness to Alexander's old heart.
"Alright, I'll be going then. You all are invited to my evening party. Don't be late. There's going to be lots of booze and dancing." He loudly invited them and got into the car.
"You had me sold at the mention of booze." Logan joked.
"Haha, alright. Hop in, Wanda." He called.
Everyone expected them to drive off but instead, the car just disappeared.
"What's the point of a car if you're just gonna teleport," Charles exclaimed.
...
In Phixheim he brought Wanda to introduce her to everyone.
"Wanda, this is my wife and your grandma. This is Amy, Rina, and Gali. They will be your sisters. There is big sister Medusa but she's on her visit to Asgard. Then there is Hela but she's busy in space"
Wanda talked with everyone and felt very easy talking. She knew she was going to enjoy her time there.
Suddenly Leonidas also popped in.
"Oh, and that is your brother Leonidas. Leo, she is Wanda and will be learning magic here." He introduced.
Leonidas went ahead and shook her hand, "you can ask me about magic if you ever find trouble somewhere."
Then Leonidas looked at him, "Dada, I want to work. Hire me at Shield."
Alexander told Wanda to go and talk to Amy while he talked to Leo.
Olivia also heard him and came to ask, "Why do you need to work, son?"
Leo suddenly turned red from that question. Alexander understood everything and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha... Olivia, my dear. Our son has grown up. Don't you see it? He's in love."
Leo turned redder realizing his father already knew.
Olivia was elated by the news. "Really? Who is my future daughter in law? I want to meet her."
Alexander calmed her down. "Easy, Olivia. He hasn't even started dating her yet. But I can assure you. The girl he likes is good. She's very smart and also very pretty. Let's hope our son is able to win her over."
"Really? All the best, son. I hope I can see her at tonight's party." Olivia happily clapped.
Alexander wrapped his hand around Leonodas's shoulder and took him away for a father-son talk. "Alright, I'll tell Fury to hire you as an agent. I will make sure you and Natasha go on missions together sometimes. You are already perfect, Leo. You don't have to change to impress her. Just show what you really are and I'm sure she'll fall for you."
"Dada, since when did you become an expert in dating? I thought you only dated mom in your entire life." Leo interjected.
*COUGH*
Leo's words were in good faith but they hit Alexander like an arrow through his heart. "I am thousands of years old and these kinds of things are under my scope of understanding."
"Haha... Yes, I believe you." Leo laughed.
"Making fun of your dada, ha? Come here you little..." He ran after Leo. Soon the girls also joined and it became a big game of tag.
...
Evening came and the top floor of the Universe Tower was lit up for the party.
Alexander was negotiating with Berry the Phoenix for his singing performance at the dance.
"What do you mean you want payment?" He asked.
Berry replied in his own language.
"What? You want ten slices of bacon? You'll grow fat, Berry. The best I can do is 5."
Berry started to leave,
"Alright, 6. No more than that."
Berry stopped and excitedly came back jumping and showed three fingers of his claw.
"You want three as an advance payment? Alright. I'll get it."
After hiring Berry, he changed to his non-work clothes which were Jedi robes. The first to arrive was the Stark Family of four.
Howard came and gave him a hug, "How are you, old man?"
"You just saw me yesterday, Howard," Alexander argued while hugging back.
"Haha... but saying that feels so good. One more thing, Tony has been complaining about the tower all this time." Howard complained.
"Where is he? Don't tell me he's afraid to face me..."
Tony interrupted from behind him, "I am afraid of no one. And I wasn't complaining. Dad is exaggerating."
Tony then walked up to him and quickly hugged him.
"Thank you for saving them." He said in his ear.
Alexander smiled, "He's family. Saving family doesn't require thanks."
Next to come were Steve and Peggy. Steve was in a suit and Peggy was in the same red dress she wore back then. Peggy went to talk to Howard while Steve came to him.
"Sir, I have a request," Steve said with a serious expression.
"Dammit, kid. Stop calling me sir now. Grandpa or Old man will do. Now, what is it?"
Steve took out a small box from his pocket and showed it to him. "I am planning on proposing to her. I've wasted 70 years already. But I don't know what to say to propose."
Alexander realized that Steve was just like how he was back in his past life.
"Son, there is no script to follow. Just open your heart to her and let the words flow. I'll try to make things better but I might need to bribe a phoenix for it." He advised.
Steve only nodded and took a long breath. He had only one thought in his mind.
~Killing Schmidt was easier than this~
...
Across the room, Peggy and Howard were talking to each other.
"So how is it going with Steve?" Howard asked.
"Perfect, I think he's going to propose. He's trying to hide it but he has forgotten that I'm a spy who can read body language." Peggy chuckled saying that.
"Haha... Let's see how good our super soldier is at proposing. Honestly, he's been perfect in most of the things till now." Howard added.
"Yeah, he is. What are you going to do, Howard? Back to Shield or something else?" She asked.
"The old man has said he has something in mind for me. The shield is already under him so there's no need to worry. Stark Industries is also in good hands. That girl Pepper is indeed too good for Tony. Maria has already started considering her daughter in law." Howard revealed.
Peggy sighed and took a sip of her drink, "Things have changed so much. But it's good to be young again."
"Indeed, my friend." Howard also drank up.
...
A short distance away, Alexander was talking to Olivia.
"No Alex, I don't have time for that. I'm busy with the Kindheart foundation. You know mutant discrimination is still rampant. I need to work on that. Being the first lady will be cumbersome."
"Come on, Oli. You can't reject this. Your husband is going to be the president of the United States. It will make you the first lady by default." He reasoned.
"I'm already the wife of a galactic Emperor who travels realities. I don't think anything can top that status. *Sigh* Alright, I'll be the first lady but don't expect me to hold senseless kitty parties." She finally agreed.
Alexander clapped his hands, "YES. Thank you, Oli. You're the best."
"Alright alright, stop buttering me and go talk to the guests." She shooed him away and went to look for her soon to be daughter in law.
