Right in front of them, the race was taking place. Hector was shocked because he quickly recognized the racers.
"Family addiction is in this universe as well?"
Hector was well versed in the worst movie franchise in history. Completely nonsensical action and race were the main focus. And the movies kept getting more absurd as if all had superpowers of luck at their disposal.
"Let's greet them then." He decided and allowed Saul to stand.
"How long is the prison sentence for illegal racing and killing." He asked.
Saul patted his clothes clean. "For murder, it's death or life imprisonment, and for racing, it's just a fine and a month in jail." freew(e)bnove(l)
Hector rubbed his beard. He didn't like this family fetishizing man and his messed-up ideals. So he had no wish to help them in anything. Instead, he'd put them in prison and advise them to do a clean job after getting out.
They won't be getting life or death as the people they killed were mostly criminals.
So he didn't move from the middle of the road and let the cars skid over it until they came to a stop when they saw the old man not moving. But when they stopped, they recognized the person.
Hector waved his hand and stripped the whole body of the cars, leaving only the seats. "Come out, folks. I will not hurt you."
There was confusion and fear in the eyes of the family. They looked at each other's faces and weighed their options. In the end, they realized there were no options to consider.
All six cars and ten people in them got out and knelt down with their hands behind their heads.
"Good, your family is now arrested for destroying public property and street racing. If you really wanted to race, you should have gone to the tracks or maybe Japan. I hope when you come out of jail, you will be a better person. Now stay here and don't move. The police will soon come and arrest you.
"If you try to run away, I will return to hunt you down, and this time murder charges will also be applied. You decide if you want to spend just a year in prison or your whole life."
He just left after making this threat. The family stayed as they were and waited for the police to come and arrest them. They had all the time to run and jump the border into Mexico, but they knew nothing could save them.
This way, the family ended up in jail—together.
...
Hector returned to his office and put Saul to work. "I know you're a smartass. You will go to any length to win a case. I want you to use your brain for good and help me in multiple cases that are about to come soon."
"What? Why would anyone sue you?"
"Because I am going to use the UN to unite the world. Not all people will be happy with it, as they will lose power. You have your own corner office; all the study material will be sent to you. Ask me if you don't understand anything. Also, you are to sign the NDA first, or I will throw you into jail." Hector threatened him at the end.
Saul nervously looked away. "Sure... I will be your slave."
"Good, now leave. I have some work to do." He shooed the man away. After all, it was time to play with Moony.
...
Avengers Building.
"I am so bored with this. The old man does everything, so we're left with nothing but solving petty crimes. I was made to be bigger than this." Tony Stark ranted with his friends in the bar.
"Come on, Tony. You can't blame Mister President for bringing peace. And helping solve murders and such crimes are not bad." Steve added. He was a man who rarely went out on superhero work anymore as he had a child at home.
"Not to mention whenever we have to fight some supervillains, it's mostly people suffering with their cars or houses getting destroyed," said Bruce.
A few more heroes were sitting there that usually operated from the Avengers Tower.
Bucky scoffed. "We should be helping him achieve his goals. He now controls the UN, and I think we all know the direction he's going with all this."
Natasha was close to Hector; she was also the Director of Shield, so she knew deeper intel. "True, he wants to unite the world before... he's gone. He told me he's growing very old at this point, and I feel he's not as interested in babysitting the world anymore."
"What do you mean by getting old? Is he okay?" Steve asked in a rush.
"I think so, but what goes on in his mind is something only Lady Diana would know. What I can say is that he's probably going to leave for good soon. The world has... disappointed him." She responded.
The mood in the room suddenly got depressing as they started to think about a world where there was no Hector. It was hard to imagine, and on a personal level, it was sad.
They all shared some personal relationship with Hector and didn't want to see the old man pass away. Even Hawkeye was blessed with his ears being healed by Hector.
"We really took him for granted," Tony muttered. But the next moment he got up. "Isn't the fourth of July getting close? It's going to be his birthday. Let's throw him a nice party."
"Let's do that. Why not ask the Fantastic Four and the X-Men to come along? I'm sure they will be happy to celebrate his birthday. The President deserves all the happiness after babysitting the world for more than a century." Bruce was on board.
So they started to plan for the party, not knowing that Hector had his own plans for throwing a party by inviting some aliens.
...
In a bid to make Earth more accepting of the aliens, Hector had decided to host an Intergalactic Master Chef. It will happen on Earth, and contestants from around the Universe will be selected and brought. They will cook various dishes and be judged by a panel consisting of Gordan Ramsey and two other top Alien chefs.
So people were surprised and excited when they first saw the advertisement for the auditions. They were going to be held on Earth only for humans. Xandar, Hala, and Moran for aliens.
Hector and Moony will be the organizers and anchors of the show because they were the most famous people in the Universe.
"Is this real? You're going to do it?" Diana asked at dinner in their house, Mount Vernon.
"Haha, it is. I will invite a world leader in every episode as a guest judge. This way, the people who actually make policies will get a better understanding of aliens and that they are not all hostile. Maybe you should audition too, seeing how tasty your cooking is."
She scoffed, "Okay, no need to lie and butter me up. I know it's mediocre at best. In fact, you're a better cook."
In self-deprecating laughter, Hector replied. "Well, living for millions of years as a virgin teaches you that."
At that, Diana caressed his face erotically, closing in. "How about I make your body more accustomed to not being a virgin tonight?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
"WOWO!"
Suddenly Moony barged in on them with his empty food bowl in his jaw. He then threw the bowl sassily. "Woof wov was."
~Food, where?~
"Ah, I forgot. Just a minute, Moony. Why don't you go and sit with Fenris and groom her clean?" Hector quickly turned on the stove and started cooking.
~What were you doing?~ Moony asked, not leaving.
"Cough*
"Something had fallen in my eyes, Diana was helping me." He clarified.
But the good fluffy boy kept staring with a narrowed gaze. Eventually, Diana laughed and patted him. "Moony, my dear. Don't you cuddle with Fenris and clean her with your tongue? I was helping Hector similarly."
~Ah! I'm such a dummy.~ Good boy barked, kissed Diana on the cheek, and silently left.
"Can't believe he's so naive sometimes. That innocence must be protected at all costs." Hector mumbled alone.
[A/N: I saw a few comments telling me to end this book. Well, it's already on its path. 300th will be the last chap.]
