Alexander kept an eye on Steve. He wasn't going to let him get all motivated to serve the nation by Fury. Fury was extremely paranoid and didn't care about Steve's feelings. To him, Steve was just a super-soldier he could use.
Alexander had vowed that he'd give Steve his date and he would keep his word. But now was not the time. However, Peggy didn't get dementia because Alexander had secretly given her medicine that would at least make sure that she stays healthy till the age of a hundred.
...
He was on the road to where he was building his new tower. Just beside the half-constructed Stark tower. It was 3 in the night.
Usually, it should be silent on the road at that time but he was hearing sound coming towards him. The sound of a heavy motorcycle.
He waited for it to come closer so he could see who was destroying the sleep of so many people. Soon he noticed something glowing coming towards him.
It was not glowing like light but instead fire.
~Is that Ghost Rider?~ he asked himself.
He knew how ghost riders were made. It was all Mephisto's doing. That demon loved fooling people and enslaving their souls. But at least the Spirit of Vengeance didn't cause senseless violence. It punished evildoers. It was true that Mephisto made people Ghost Riders but they weren't his creation. Ghost Riders weren't actually bad. They are benevolent. It is also said that they are created by the god to protect mankind. Which they have been doing for a long time.
The bike was going too fast so he stood up in the middle of the road. Soon the bike stopped in front of him and the Ghost rider looked at him.
"How are you, Ghost Rider?" Alexander hailed.
"Who are you,?" Johnny Blaze asked. The spirit was never in control of the Host so it couldn't talk.
"Nobody, just a passerby. I wanted to say hello to the Ghost Rider." Alexander shrugged.
Johnny suddenly got down from his bike and walked to Alexander, "Are you a criminal?"
"Woah, don't judge me like that. Also, if I were you, I'd not use that penance stare. It might backfire on you." He warned.
But Ghost Rider kept on walking and grabbed him. Then it looked Alexander in the eyes.
Instead of seeing sin, it only saw purity. To the point that it had a reverse effect and the spirit of vengeance started to shriek in pain. Alexander quickly looked away to stop Ghost Rider from suffering.
"I am a being beyond your scope of understanding. We both are different and yet the same. You are a dark creature destined to purify sinners while I am a light creature who does the same. Go now, if the fate wants we will meet again." Alexander spoke in his godly voice while releasing some of his aura.
Ghost Rider just nodded and left.
~*Sigh* So I can even petrify the Ghost Rider.~
Alexander then proceeded to his building and started working on it. Stark Tower was already halfway through and he was afraid that it won't be completed on time. After all, it was much bigger than the Stark Tower.
The Stark Tower only had 80 floors but his building had 120 floors. His building was also more aesthetic from outside and more modern from inside.
...
Steve was trying to cope up with the new times. It was really hard to imagine the world had changed so much. Though there weren't any flying cars like what Howard predicted. He had heard about Howard's son and appreciated his work to save innocents.
Currently, he stood in front of the war memorial. A huge statue of Alexander was erected there over his grave. It was the most loved statue of Alexander. Because it showed what kind of man he was. The picture that Dobby released in which he met Amy and gave her a piggyback ride was still considered one of the most iconic images of the 20th century. The statue was inspired by it. Cute little Amy had gotten her place in the history as well.
He went to the current top floor that was recently completed. He had imagined his tower to look amazing as there were no other remarkable buildings nearby. That's why he decided to make it there.
He walked to the window and looked out.
"What the... Pepper, why is there a new building under construction there? Didn't a hotel used to be there?" He asked.
"Oh, yeah. That hotel owner decided to build a building. He's hired Nevaeh Industries for the project. I must say, they are really quick." Pepper exclaimed.
But Tony was annoyed, "Pepper, this was my spot. It was supposed to be my moment. The whole point of Stark tower was to show off. How tall is this new building going to be?" He inquired.
"120 floors."
"What? They are going to be taller than me. Pepper, I want you to pull all strings possible and stop that construction." He arrogantly demanded.
Pepper shook her head, "I've already tried. But the Mysterious owner of that building has friends in high places."
"Then increase Stark Tower's height. We'll make 120 floors as well. We'll have to do something with the foundation but it can work." Tony suggested.
"Really, Tony? That's just a waste of money. And this isn't a game where you men compare sizes. It's just a building." She tried to reason.
"It's my building, Pepper. It will have my name on it. Please just do this once." He nagged like a kid. In the end, she gave up.
...
One week later, Tony had given the plans to make his building 120 floors high but then he received news that the neighborhood tower had also increased the floors to 130.
Admitting his defeat he went to Westeros bar to drink and sob. He could honestly feel like someone was watching and laughing at him.
