Chapter 282: 282. Mood Spoiled
[You can read chapters in advance, OP and GOT fic on -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]
Hector finally started to burn some documents to start preparing for his departure from this universe. There were too many documents that could one day bring trouble to the world peace order.
Every single note he made for others to follow and such was quickly burned away.
The world was going to be much different soon as the elections were different from normal. Each nation was now going to be divided into smaller states, and each state will have a Senator that will act as the head and representative at the World Council. The World Council will also have no single supreme leader. Instead, it will have ten elected top bosses who will make decisions based on voting, and the tie-breaker will be in the hands of the Galactic Federation's representative offices.
The world was going to be mostly a capitalist free market but with special emphasis on cheap healthcare, free basic education and then cheaper higher education, and also affordable housing.
The reason housing prices stay high is that that's done knowingly by the governments so the housing market can give something big to the GDP. Now, since the world had one economy and the GDP was more focused on the manufacturing and service industry, housing had to be affordable.
New York City was also ending its reconstruction after the destruction during the battle of New York. It was now a much greener city with a better subway and transport system. Taking inspiration from Tokyo, the city was designed to have bus stops and subway stations adjacent to each other.
Now some such cities were being developed around the world, and Hector was snapping his fingers left and right to build the basic required infrastructure before he left. He was trying to have at least one mega-city in each state of the world. So each state can have one economic powerhouse region.
Other than that, the world's population could easily be sustained at 10 billion at this rate, even more as time went on since farming had become a lot more efficient. Not to mention, vertical farms were everywhere under the Saharan desert, using solar light for their needs.
As for space technology, that was working out pretty well as even Tony Stark had entered the field of such technology and for him to create a space-faring ship was easy. He already had the propulsion technology. All he needed was the Jump Drives that could allow them to use Jump Points across the universe.
All in all, the world was on the right track. Hector was happy that he wasn't rushing everything too fast, as that could lead to problems.
...
"Cheers." Hector and Diana sat on a rooftop restaurant in New York City as they enjoyed a view of the new skyline. The restaurant was owned by Steve and Peggy, as their restaurant had done pretty well, and they opened new branches.
Though tonight it was reserved for Hector as the Secret Service, although useless for him, did its job. He could also enjoy some free time as he had free slave labour.
Diana was very much confused about things, however. She did not know how Hector's things worked and where they were going. All she knew was that she loved him and would go wherever he went, as he was her only family... Moony, Fenris, and Michu, too, of course.
"Do you want to go to your home Universe once and see it?" He asked her.
Diana was conflicted about it, sadly. "I don't even know if there is anything left there. Before I lost consciousness, everything was gone. No life other than mine existed there."
It was sad, indeed. Hector held her hand over the table and looked into her eyes. "Whatever you decide, we will do that. We're married, and it's wrong if it's just you giving up everything to go along with me. If there is something you want, you can always tell me, and I will help you."
She sighed and relaxed in her seat. "There is nothing to do. My universe has been destroyed... and going to any other iteration of it would be senseless as another Diana exists there."
"Then let's meet the other Diana so you can share some knowledge. You should warn her of the coming danger and how to stop it." He suggested.
"Won't that destroy the fabric of that universe?"
"No, it will just create a new branch. So don't worry about it. Anyway, what else are you doing nowadays? I don't see you much at the White House." Hector started some small talk.
"Just preparing things to leave. By the way, how will this end? You will likely go before me?"
Hector didn't really have anything in mind about this as he didn't know how this would end. "I will likely go before you. You might get called to my funeral, but you don't have to go. Just disappear from the public eye and wait for me."
She sighed when she tried to think how the people would react to it. "I wonder how many tears will fall when you finally fall."
"Bwahaha... I would love to see it, honestly. See who cries and who rejoices, so I know whom I must vanquish one last time. Anyway, let's go home for the night and exercise." He suddenly stood up and lifted Diana in his arms.
They were not new lovers anymore, so shame and embarrassment were long gone. Diana instead caressed his hair and agreed. "I was going to get to it anyway, dear. Let's go to the Saharan resort tonight. We don't want to cause an earthquake again, do we?"
"Alright then, but let's fly there. This way, I can feel the warmth for a bit longer."
She chuckled. "Are you sure it's not just because you like grabbing my thighs?"
Hector coughed and looked into her eyes. "Girl, I like grabbing everything on you."
She giggled like a girl just fallen in love. Both of them loved the fact that the spark was still as blazing as ever between them.
"Let's take Moony and the rest on a trip later. I haven't been spending much time with them."
She agreed. "Moony did complain that you don't love him anymore. I had to work so hard to make him believe he was wrong. He may be smart, but he's still a child."
"A child who is the governor of California an-"
Woosh!
Hector couldn't finish speaking as all of a sudden, some kind of a strange mirror appeared in front of them, and Hector passed right through it and appeared in some sort of a room, enclosed and made to look like a prison.
"Variant X1 and X2 have been captured for violating the timeline. You shall be trialled and brought to justice by the TVA. Do you need to say anything?"
Hector looked at the screen in which a woman in strange clothes talked to him.
Now, Hector had no idea what the TVA even was. "Who are you?"
"Time Variance Authority—we are an organization created by He Who Remains located outside of space and time, tasked with preserving the Sacred Timeline and preventing the creation of branching timelines. You two are an anomaly who have damaged the Sacred Timeline beyond repair, sadly."
Hector cracked his fist. "Is that so? Are you going to implement your multiversal laws on a being from Omniverse?"
"O-Omniversal what?"
"You can also call me He Who Whooped TVA's Ass."
