2008's elections came and went. As Hector had told President MacArthur, he lost his second term. All because Hector leaked so many scandals and documents that revealed the US involvement in various atrocities committed by other organizations worldwide. Also, a document leaked that proposed stopping Baby Bonds, which earned the ire of all young voters.
But the thing was, the new president was not Hector's choice either. This was a problem with the popular vote. Hector didn't have control over who got the nominations. This was one of the reasons why he was thinking about coming out of retirement and running in the elections himself.
But, according to the law, he had to wait until the next election. So, for now, he would secretly be the checks and balance to the current presidency.
And that was precisely what he did. Over the coming two years, he focused on creating files on every single Earth's politician, as he knew that if he were to take a direct path to subjugate the planet, various super-powered factions would oppose him. Hence, political subjugation was the best way to go.
He had already started an oil company that was pumping oil with the latest computerized systems, and he sold that oil at a dirt-cheap rate, undercutting every single company in the world and forcing them to match his prices. Since his company was never a member of OPEC.
Various powerful nations and companies initially tried to force his company to sell at their rate, but after he had hooked different non-oil producing countries on his cheap oil, they gladly came forward to defend his company. Similarly, he was extracting gasses from various locations.
One best thing that came out of all this was that Hector now ruled Venezuela by proxy. And the people couldn't be happier. Mass death sentences for gang members, corrupt officials, and even previous presidents made people feel this was coming of a new age. In addition, he seized all illegal and corrupt properties and used the money to make schools, hospitals and houses. Life was never better.
He aimed to push the world to advancement by sucking the Earth dry. His mines in Africa had also started production at a high capacity. Just the initial training of the local people on how to operate advanced machines took a year. Now, everything was going smoothly.
Meanwhile, Tony Stark was able to develop a non-weaponized version of the Arc Reactor, which was the size of a car. However, it was only used on trial bases in some poor African nations. As soon as they know it can be a stable energy source, they will expand their operations.
Sadly, even after Stark Industries' ban on weapons, the military-industrial complex was as strong as ever. Where there is demand, there is supply. Stark weapons were top quality, that's why they were sold the most, but now other companies took that market share, albeit selling lesser quality items.
However, Tony being Tony, he made sure to create a mess by announcing he was Iron Man in a press conference. So, now he was in trouble with the US Government.
...
Hector and Diana were a well-known couple now and occasionally would go out to help folks. The internet was already going crazy trying to find Hector's identity but to no avail. They refused to believe that this was the same old man.
The age of heroes had seemed to arrive out of nowhere now since Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Hector, and the X-Men were always in the news. Many more were on the way as the news about Hulk rampaging in Brazil reached Hector.
But today, he was on a special mission, as Fury called him. A strange alien hammer had landed in New Mexico. They deemed it alien, and he was the best alien expert they had.
Though all this did make Hector wonder, "Why do all these things happen in the United States?"
Logan felt the same way while he also traveled with his president. "Probably because we're also the most fucked up,"
"Hmm, I don't know by what way you meant fucked up. If it's as a society? I can't entirely agree. If it's as a trendsetter, then I will agree. Anyway, I'm more interested in knowing if I can lift that hammer up," Hector replied.
They were in a Quinjet that was upgraded with space tech, as it had various ultra-advanced technology. Hector even had his own special version that had a light-speed engine.
After all, he was also the President of the United Galactic Federation. Using lowly earth choppers was beneath him. Though he'd prefer if he could fly,"
"Thank god Natasha came with us," Hector said, "Or else, we'd have crash-landed,"
Natasha chuckled in her seat. She may be a super spy right now, but Hector was very protective of her as she was too pretty. Even more so when she wears her tight, field bodysuit that glorifies her assets. "I remember you crashlanded the first time I met you in Russia,"
"It was Moony's fault. I told him to turn up the song volume, but he instead pressed the landing gear button." Hector argued.
"BOWWW WOWOWOOooooo..." Moony growled at him angrily.
"Fine, fine, it was both of our faults. God, you're turning into a crybaby since you got a mom," Hector scowled at the boy.
"Hehe, Grandpa, I love the fact that you two are dating, but I can't bring myself to call her grandma. She's too... pretty," Natasha said embarrassingly. She remembers calling Diana Grandma once, and she felt like burying herself in Mariana trench after that.
"Yeah, call her Diana. Jean still calls her Grandma, though. I believe she does it to mess with Diana. But, she seriously needs a boyfriend now." Hector dreamily remembered the fond memories.
Logan nodded, "Indeed, she may look as young as in her late 20s, but she's 33 now."
"It seems we will have to do some matchmaking. Anyway, let's get this thing done first. I wonder if Odin knows about me?"
...
Asgard,
"Why did you banish our son to such a low realm? What if something happens to him?" Frigga worried for Thor.
Odin, meanwhile, sat on his throne, his one uncovered eye shining as he watched Earth. "Fear not, my queen. Our son is in the safest place in the nine realms. And I did not banish him just to teach him a lesson but also so he can make friends with the man I prophecized about,"
"Who? That Galactic President you've been talking about? I looked for information about him. He's famous across two galaxies, and his deeds are praiseworthy. But how can a mortal teach Thor?" She asked him.
Odin let out a short chuckle, "He's anything but a mortal, Frigga. You will understand when you see him,"
*Sigh* "Always mysterious,"
...
Earth,
Hector arrived at the enclosed facility SHIELD had built around the crash site of the hammer. The crowd of truckers who were trying to move it had been thrown away long ago. Now it was a military camp.
Fury was waiting for him at the gates excitedly, "Well, the bee has arrived smelling the flower,"
Hector chuckled, "He's here? Let me see,"
He closed his eyes and tried to hear as good as he could. Soon, he heard faint screams of defeat from inside the facility. "I guess I should give my introduction to him then,"
Fury led home into the open space where the hammer had landed. The agents had tried to move it by removing the earth from under it, but it was still unmovable. So now it looked like a small pillar on which the hammer was placed.
Though the brooding, tall, blonde man was a free item that came with the hammer. "You all wait here. I want to try something,"
Hector jumped the fence and stepped on the middy ground. The rain had not stopped yet, as if replying to Thor's cry like he was some Disney princess. He just sat there on his knees in defeat, looking down at the ground.
"Still can't lift it?" Hector commented.
Thor looked up, "Laugh, mortal. Laugh at my anguish, for I deserve this disgrace. *sigh* I only yearned to bring honor to Asgard. How could my father do this to me?"
"Do you mind if I try picking it up?" Hector asked nicely, not that he waited for his reply.
"You can't lift the hammer of the thunder god. Mjolnir can't be wielded by a mere mortal, the very thing I have become. So do not waste your tim... H-HOW?!"
