Alexander went into the office and suddenly remembered something from the movie. Grandmaster once said that for the world outside he was millions of years old. This could only mean one thing.
"Ghost, check how much time has elapsed on Ironheim." He ordered his A.I.
"Sir, it seems that Sakaar's time dilation caused its time to work slower than the outside world. There seems to have 51 years passed on Ironheim. From your recollection of the future events, I have come to a conclusion that Thor and others left this planet through Devil's anus. Which is a wormhole and probably returned them to a closer time to the outside world."
*BOOM*
Alexander instantly went into Phixheim and checked each of his family members. He'd hate it if he suddenly found that his son turned 51 years old. He checked everything and thankfully they were all there. Good thing that His Seraphs were everywhere so even if he disappeared no problem would arise. Asgardians didn't communicate with him probably due to their super-long lifespan.
Olivia, Leo, Medusa, Rina, Amy, Ragnarok, and even Loki were there. For them, only a few hours passed.
"What happened Alex? Why do you look so distressed?" She asked.
"Argh... I went to Sakaar but there was a time dilation. For us only some hours went by but on Earth, 51 years have passed." He dropped the bomb.
"WHAT? what about my Kindheart foundation?" Olivia worriedly asked.
"Don't worry. Seraphs probably handled it. What I do want to know is why didn't Dobby call us all this time?" He questioned.
*Door opens*
"Oh hey everyone, how are you all?" Dobby cluelessly spoke.
"Dobby, don't tell me that you were here all this time," Alexander asked.
"I just came a few hours ago, I was running out of Firewhiskey and you all had not contacted me in 2 years. So I thought of checking up on you." He replied.
"Dobby, 51 years have passed on Earth due to Sakaar's time dilation."
"Ah, no problem. My assistant Seraph was working there. I'll just go back and check everything out." He said and vanished.
"I know what you are thinking, Olivia. I'll go and do something about the time dilation." He helped her relax.
Alexander then went out with the strongest magical shield possible around him and erected huge wards around the planet. All the energy leaving the various wormholes would be used to power them. In return, they would remove the Time Dilation effect. Then he went back to Phixheim after giving orders. Blue Fang will be working as the head of plant security. Alexander could feel talent in him.

Earth,
December 16, 1991.
A car drove down the road and beside it was a man on a motorcycle, chasing it. He shot the tires and the car crashed into a lamppost.
"Help my wife... Please... Help... Sergeant Barnes?" Howard cried.
But his words fell on deaf ears and the Winter soldier punched Howard on his head repeatedly. He thought that Howard was dead so he put him back in the car.
But unknown to him, Alexander's protective chain had saved him. Though he was hurt a lot from the wreckage.
"Howard... Howard," Maria shouted his name in pain.
Howard knew he had no way of escaping now. At least not with his wife. So he accepted his fate and remembered the last words of his dear grandpa.
~Promise me, son, no matter what happens to me. You will always keep this around your neck and never ever take it off. Don't ask anything and just promise me... I am proud of you, son~
Unknowingly, a small smile formed on his face. Thinking that he might meet his Grandpa now. Suddenly Howard put his one hand on his chain and grabbed his wife with the other. Waiting for the inevitable.
"ACTIVATE" Howard spoke without even knowing. For some reason, the word came out on its own.
"Yes, I am"
"Goddamn, my grandpa is a God." Howard cheered.
"Please let me see all the alien tech, please please please...." He pleaded like a child.
"Alright, but first I need to change your looks. Seriously Howard, where did all the swag go? I taught you to be better than this. You look like an old turkey right now." Alexander complained.
"Whoa, this is my style, Grandpa. Straight from 1991" Howard defended.
"Whatever, drink this. It's a de-aging potion." He handed a test tube.
Howard drank it without even asking. Soon his face, hair, and body turned back to how he looked in his 20s.
"Grandpa, where are my sisters and brother?" He asked.
"Well, Leo must be sleeping. You just met Amy. Medusa should be around with that pest, Loki, and Rina should be in the kitchen hogging some food and Hela, well you should not annoy her. You should meet Alfred, he's a sentient A.I. and a part of the family. Alfred is responsible for all the research and tech stuff. Erskine is also here but he works in his different lab now." He walked him around.
"Wait, what about my son?" Howard anxiously asked.
"Easy, Howard. I know the future. Your son is meant to do great things. If you stayed with him then he'd just be a spoiled narcissist for the rest of his life. But now he'd have the responsibility of Stark Industries." Alexander explained.
"Good thing Obadiah is there to help him." Howard sighed.
*Bam*
Howard received a fist to his head. "What were you thinking of hiring that guy? He would try to kill Tony to take over the company in a few years. But nothing to fear, Tony will overcome it with some lessons learned."
"Whaaaaat? That f*cker." Howard raged. But they were interrupted by 2 Seraphs who had a frozen Bucky Barnes on their shoulders.
"Boss, what to do with him?" They asked.
"Put him in a freezer, I'll deal with him later." He ordered.
"Hmm, so. Anyway, Howard. Just enjoy and have fun. I'll take you back to Tony when the time is right."
Howard again hugged him, "Yes, I can't believe all this is happening. I just hope this isn't a dream."
"Hahaha, not a dream, my boy." Alexander ruffled his hair.
"Oh, yeah. This chain transported us here, right?" Howard asked.
"Yes, and you shouldn't act so surprised. I have a door that lets you travel to the edge of the universe." His words blew Howard's scientific mind.
"Woah, I'd love to go there someday. By the way, your company might get caught in anti-monopoly law. I just received that news before appearing here."
"Hah, some people are just angry that I am selling medicine at such a low price. Don't worry. I practically own both Republicans and Democrats. My people have been working for a long long time, boy." Alexander replied.
"What? But I didn't find anything about that from Shield." He argued.
"Well, did you forget who made SSR, which is now Shield? I am still the highest authority there. Albeit secretly." His words made Howard question more. So he had to leave him in the lab and run away.
