Chapter 279: Ten Times Work
[You can read chapters in advance, OP and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
Hector was confused about what was going on and was curious about where did so many Hectorse from. There was supposed to be the one and only Hector in Omniverse, the singrity in all time and space.
But here he was, sharing his office with nine other Hectors who looked and acted the same as any other. The only one enjoying this was Moony, who would jump to each Hector and y for a while.
He was also being spoiled by every single Hector so he was happy as a puppy. However, Hector Prime was worried that his fluffy boy might just get fat from all this.
"You all need to leave, this is my office. You likely came from another universe or timeline." Hector Primeined angrily.
But the other Hectors replied in unison, sadly not in favour of his decision.
"You think you''re better than us, old man?"
"You wanna fight?"
"Yeah! Let''s see who''s the strongest among us."
Hector Prime felt a headache, but an idea appeared that prompted him to smile wickedly. "Fine, if you want to call yourselves me, then you better work the same as well. There are ten of us, so if something was to take me ten months to do now, I should only take one."
"Ah, I think I need to go to the doctor. My back hurts."
"Moony, wanna y?"
"Maybe I can see what those fuckers in space are doing."
BAM!
Hector Prime mmed his fist on the table and looked around. "You better work, or you have no right to be here. Real Hector would never run from his responsibilities. Real Hector always thinks about the good of the people."
"You''re hell''s inquisitor, dude." One of them argued.
Hector Prime nodded at that. "Yes, but this world is my home too now. And, I am Inquisitor only to those who sin, and those who are virtuous, they only get my blessing."
"Fine." The nine Hectors nodded and relented to more work. So Hector Prime snapped his finger, and tonnes of paperwork appeared in front of their tables.
"Now, I need to go and speak at the war memorial. Take your time, boys." Hector Prime stood up and left quickly.
The other Hectors looked at him in envy, but they stopped Moony from leaving as he was their mental stress reliever.
...
Peter was in somewhat of a simr condition as Hector. He had found not one but four more spidermen, and there was no telling if there were more.
"What''s going on? Is the multiverse copsing?" Peter wondered.
"Or maybe we''re just unlucky because hey, where Peter Parker is, trouble always finds us for some reason." the tall Spiderman spoke, who was apparently dating Gwen Stacy. Meanwhile, another older Spiderman was dating an MJ, but the name was different. Then, atst, there was another one, a fat one, who was married to Mary Jane and then divorced. Then, atst, Spiderman in a ck suit, nearly the same age as this world''s Peter.
"My girlfriend is also a spider woman, and she''s called Gwen Stacy too. Also, my name is not Peter, I''m Miles, and I actually live here... the same world as you, Spiderman." Miles looked at the world''s Spiderman as he spoke. "Though my girlfriend is from another universe... I wish I could let her stay longer, though."
"This is getting so confusing." Peter Prime grabbed his head as he sat down with a headache.
The oldest Peter patted Peter Prime''s back. "Don''t worry, as Uncle Ben used to say, when one door closes, others open. Do you know anyone who is knowledgeable about the multiverse?"
"Ah! Grandpa!" Peter eximed.
"You have a grandpa in this world?" The tall Peter(Amazing-Spiderman).
Peter Prime nodded. "Not blood-rted. He''s very close to me, and he saved me when I was ten."
"Who is he?" The old Spiderman asked.
But before Peter Prime could speak, Miles answered.
"Twelve times the President of the United States, the strongest being on Earth, and possibly the universeHector King Washinton."
"What?!"
...
Hector was at the War Memorial near the White House to give a speech announcing the unification of the United Terra as one military power. From now on, nations shall not have a military, the will. The police force will still be there, though.
Hector appeared old and walked with the help of the cane again. Diana was also beside him, looking otherworldly.
"Everyone, I am delighted to announce defencel nations of United Terra have joined hands to abolish national armies and defense forces. Now, there will be one force for the whole of United Terra."
Kachak!
The shes started making rounds intensely and remained like that for theing few minutes, which annoyed Hector into scolding them. "You rascals, you want to blind this old man or something?"
After a few rounds of chuckles, Hector continued. "Well, we are on the right path, so we will fully extend the United Terra to the whole once the war is over. But, I have some worries before that.
"We can not call ourselves a space civilization if we can''t even fix the problems of hunger, unemployment, and homelessness. It''s not that we can''t fix all thiswe can in with a snap, but we chose not to for short-term greed. So, for this, a few newws will being out.
"First of all, the new wagews will be applicable across the world. ording to intion, thesews fix the minimum wage to 17$ an hour with a yearly increase or decrease. Moreover, thepanies need to pay "Expense Pay" over the minimum wage. This basically means that apany must pay enough money to its employees to live in the city they work in.
"No more living like a ve in shelters or two rooms apartments with six roommates."
"Sir! Won''t the corporate lords be angered by this?" Asked a journalist who was Raven in disguise.
Hector scoffed. "Like I care about their feelings. When an executive of apany with a sry of 2 million, gets a 9 million bonus that year, instead of 10 million like thest year, it''s not really a big deal. But, when the grassroots worker gets his sry increased from 15$ an hour to 17$, that makes a big difference in that person''s life. They can now eat better, maybe afford a gym membership, or buy something nice for their kid.
"So, I will say this now. Corporate greed must be kept in check. Human life and satisfactione above all. Be capitalist, be rich, but not at the cost of the blood and tears of others.
"So, if anypany dares exploit their employees while increasing the sries and bonuses of the top executives, I will simply quash thatpany into nothingness. Sell it and pay the money to the employees as a bonus.
"Our is at a point where what we do shall define the future for centuries. So let''s have a good start."
Kachak!
Yet again, they started to blind Hector with cameras. But he just held Diana''s hand in his and walked away like the perfect couple they were.
Unsurprisingly, the camera shes intensified suddenly as the journalists turned from their regr profession to being paparazzi.
...
Battlefield in Brus.
The nation was not an official ally of Russia, but its government was chums with Lord Putin. Yes, that''s what most people call the man jokingly.
Putin was a man that was respected in all honesty. Despite whatever he does, the war and all, he was a man with a brain, as a lot of that is required to sit at the top of the second strongest nation in the world.
But, perhaps, as everything has an expiration date, his time has alsoe. The world did not need nations anymore.
"Tony, call the orbital strike!" Steve spoke through the wireless while leading a million troops of the United Terra Army. He was officially a Five Star General but still dubbed Captain. It was unknown if Steve felt anything strange about that.
"Hot strikesing right up, cap!" Tony flew around with a hundred Remote Armors that he controlled with AI. They were like jets at this point, bombarding areas.
Meanwhile, the X-Men and Fantastic Four were left to deal with the Mutant War. Avengers helped the regr army because, in the end, Hector wanted his side to lose fewer men than the enemies, or else even after winning, it won''t mean much.
BOOM!
Out of nowhere, a sudden st resounded in the area. Everyone looked towards it as it was too big, like a nuclear st, but the fire it created was violet in colour.
"Fuck!" Tony cursed.
"What happened?" Natasha questioned.
Tony quickly sent his armour away. "Bruce''s life signs just disappeared! What in the world can kill him?"
