Chapter 204: Long Drive
[You can read 60 chapters in advance and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
It was easy to guess how many folks were scared of Hector entering the White House once again. All the major corporations and politicians started to call their lawyers to understand if what Hector said about his eligibility was even true.
To them, the alien invasion was already a thing of the past. Securing their continuous prosperity was their primary goal. But when they realized that they could not stop him by law, they decided to change the law.
Since the Vice President was now the new president, and they believed they still had majority control in the Congress, they proposed edits to the old laws. First, they wished to change the baby bonds law and remove the lifespan max-age of 140.
However, when the bill was up for a vote, it didn't even get half the votes needed to pass them. It turns out, Hector had a lot of sleeper agents and other fans who'd rather see him as the President.
Now it was just a matter of time before Hector won and started breaking a few backs.

Before he did anything, Hector entered the Funhouse dimension as it was time to deal with Thanos. The guy was alive and tied to chains by the Spirits of Vengeance.
Thanos was awake and saw him come, "One man's failure is another's success. You won, Washington, but at what cost? The Universe will keep suffering."
Hector went to the side to make a coffee, "No, you seem to have the wrong idea. I'm not a foolish man like you. My solution does not consist of genocide. It baffles me that with all the power of the six infinity stones, the best solution you could come up with was killing everyone."
"Kill me now; why waste time here?" Thanos said.
Hector snapped his finger and released Thanos. "Here, drink this and listen to me clearly. I will not kill you, but rather keep you as a security guard. A Spirit of Vengeance will be tied to you, and I will change your brain with the stones. You will be fully loyal to me and my beliefs and will be the last line of defence of the United Galactic Federation. A sentinel of sorts."
"You will condemn me to a life of servitude?" Thanos sneered.
Hector laughed, "Haha, naive. You won't even know you're a servant with the changes to your brain. Gone will be the Mad Titan, and now there will be the Titan of Justice."
"What's stopping my minions from releasing me?"
Hector slapped a document on the table, "This contract. Since I'm the creator, nothing in this multiverse can nullify it."
*THUMP*
Hector forcefully picked Thanos' hand and slammed it on the paper while his demonic powers were active and showed his other face. Thanos was dumbly left staring at him in shock, "W-What are you?"
"Just a small employee of Omniversal Hell. Anyway, thanks for doing business." *SNAP*
He was getting too comfortable with the snap recently. It was amazing how it was like a magical genie that could fulfill all his wishes. Heck, even a genie might not be able to do it.
With this, he got one more Skull Knight as a servant. This one was different, however. As Thanos retained all his memories and ability to speak freely. Only his mind got rewired.
...
"Man, this is going to be so much work," Tony muttered as he watched the state of New York City from the patch of land where his building used to be.
"I'm sure Mister President has some idea for it," Pepper stood at his side.
"HEY! You're supposed to take my side,"
"I don't get paid enough to do that, Mister Stark."
"YOU'RE THE CEO!"
...
"AWOOOOO..." Moony fought his greatest bane, the air.
Hector drove the car with one hand while holding Diana's hand in the other. They were on a lonely road headed south right now. "Finally, some peace."
"So this isn't supposed to be a work trip?"
Hector shrugged, "It is, but... I wanted some family time alone. Me, you and the good boy Moony."
"WOOF!" Moony barked and stuck his head between the two lovers to receive two kisses on his cheeks.
Diana moved closer to Hector. This was one of the good things about old cars. They come with uninterrupted long seats with the shift stick not in the way. Hector had snapped his fingers and had already turned the car into a superfast automatic anyway.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and let her snuggle into his arms. "It's crazy how we're people from different multiverses and met in a third multiverse."
"Fate is often unpredictable. Not that I am complaining. This is an infinity times better than hovering in the void all alone. Now I'm in the company of a devil." She jokingly added the last bit.
"Haha, be careful, my lady. This devil can be mischievous at times." Hector replied and pecked her head.
"Hehe... good, I'm tired of being the all-righteous Wonder Woman anyway. *Sigh* This trip is going to be fun."
*BAM*
*WOOSH*
However, their romantic moment was suddenly broken as the car jolted violently. Hector pressed on the break and looked back. Moony was missing. They looked to the side and found the fluffy boy running after a coyote.
*FACEPALM*
"I think getting a roofless car was a mistake."
