The next day the ex-council members were executed. It wasn't publicized though. On the other hand, the news about the execution of Ronan was publicized. It was also announced that Alexander would be revealing information at the General Assembly. This made a lot of people interested in the General Assembly for the first time.
That day he spent some time in the Universe Tower and talked with his soon to become underlings in the U.S. government.
"So, Howard. You will be the Secretary of Defence." Alexander announced.
"Alright, let's make history." Howard sounded positive.
"Ragnarok, you'll be the Secretary of Treasury."
"But, I am not even a citizen." Ragnarok reminded.
Alexander took out a passport from his pocket, "No, you are. You've been a citizen for the past 30 years. Now, Dobby will be my V.P. and Arnold will be Secretary of Finance. Any more questions?"
"Yeah, who's the Secretary of State?" Howard asked.
Alexander shook his head, "Still looking for him."
*Phone Rings*
"Yeah, oh hey, Fury."
"Alright, I'll come and greet her." He put the phone down and looked at everyone.
"Dobby, start making plans for the Presidential Campaign. We'll be having the election by the end of this year. We will be announcing my candidacy after my speech at the General Assembly. Howard, I would like you to do a thorough check of every U.S. defense project going on. No matter how secret I want to know. I'll be leaving now."
He appeared on the Helicarrier. Fury was already waiting for him there. Besides Fury was also a known face.
Carol Danvers had reached Earth and looked for Fury the moment she landed. She was happy that both her friend and the planet were safe.
But currently, she was going through a different sense of emotion. It was excitement. She recognized the newly arrived person. She was in the Air Force and was a fan of War Hero General Universe. But he was also the Emperor Universe, another role model of hers.
Alexander walked up to her and shook hands, "How are you, Captain Marvel."
"Oh, please sir. Call me Carol or just Danvers. I am a huge fan of yours, sir. You have done so well for Earth and the entire universe. I want to be like you someday." She started mumbling.
Fury was surprised by the change of behavior, "Captain, I didn't take you as a fangirling type."
Carol rolled her eyes, "Everyone is a Fangirl of General. Even you. Those who aren't are either living under a rock or just Nazis."
"Haha, I wish you luck in your fights to come, Carol. Now, why did you invite me, Fury?" He asked.
"Sir, I have grave news that you should know. I have received intel that someone is trying to mislead the public to believe that the New York invasion happened because of the Mutants. This has caused a new wave of mutant-hating sentiments. Many crimes have also been reported." Fury showed him some videos.
"Why would they do something like that?" Carol asked.
"Didn't Kree have a discrimination problem? It's much worse here. Humans are too dumb to realize that if the Mutants wanted to rule they'd already be in power. Again and again, normal people let themselves be fed false information. We don't have any lack of conspiracy theory junkies either. Who's behind this, Fury. Tell me." He asked.
But Edward Buckman was against it. He was afraid that he'd be overpowered by the super-powered members of the club. But he couldn't say that as a reason. In the end, he agreed to at least invite him and talk.
...
Alexander was happily enjoying his drinks when a woman in white clothes came to him.
"Hello, Mr. Universe. May I buy you a drink?" She asked.
"Haha... Since when did young and beautiful women like you start hitting on oldies like me?" He laughed.
Emma chuckled, "Oh, you may look old but you certainly have the same charm as the young you probably had."
"Good, then buy me a drink." He allowed.
"Why don't you join me and my friends in the private room." She suggested.
"Let's go then." He agreed.
"But she can't come." Emma pointed to Carol.
"Oh, she's a very powerful girl. I think we should bring her with us." He advised.
Carol threw a fake punch with her powers leaking a bit. Emma was nothing but happy to have more powerful mutants in their ranks. So she allowed her in.
Once in, they all introduced themselves to him. Sebastian Shaw actually took out a notepad and asked for an autograph.
Alexander happily signed it and relaxed down. "So, this is where the Hellfire Club operates from."
Others weren't surprised as their club wasn't really a private thing. Alexander then looked at Sebastian and asked, "Kid, tell me something. You yourself are a mutant but why do you still support anti-mutant experiments?"
His questions surprised him, "No sir, I don't do that. I am a firm believer in pro mutant rights."
"Then why are you giving money to this Project Sentinel, which is being operated by Dr. Stephen Lang, whose father was an anti-Mutant bigot who created the Mk I Sentinal to kill mutants?" Alexander revealed so much in his simple question.
Sebastian was a smart man and knew what was going on. He has been keeping an eye on increasingly anti-mutant sentiments lately. He looked at Edward Buckman suspiciously. Emma also understood and got ready to enter Edward's mind. Edward pressed a help button in his pocket but for some reason, it didn't work.
