60 Legal Trouble (1/2)

The first thing I did when I returned to the prime universe is to check on my daughter, Antigone.

Alright, it is the second thing I did – tsk.

Before I teleport off to see my beautiful daughter and tell her how much I miss her, I had to tell Hydra and Shield to collapse the temporal rift.

It is done by dumping a lot of our garbage through the rift.

Its temporal energy level drops each time something or someone passes through it on either side. By the time the energy level drops to zero, the rift collapses, separating the two realities completely.

Hans and his family will never able to return to their universe. They didn't mind since they are offered a lot of compromises for sacrificing what little of their livelihoods on the other side.

A biometric scan is done on Hans and his family members after their brief introduction to Hydra.

It is to check whether there is another version of them in the prime reality. Nothing comes up for Hans since he wasn't born. His parents never got together and settle down to have children.

The information really stunned the old couple. They are curious of who they ends up with individually, but that is a story for another time.

Only Hans is given a Hydra ring, allowing him access to Hydra Network.

As a high ranking member, the rest of his family has the support of Hydra and Shield.

They will be given a lovely suburban home and a generous pension.

Money isn't really a problem.

Once I am no longer needed, I teleport to Shield Headquarter in orbit around the planet.

I had left Antigone up there for her own protection.

Since Hydra now has a mean to stop the time distortion as well as the mean to collapse the temporal rift, it is no longer necessary to leave her there.

My daughter is far more safer with me.

I misses her greatly. And she misses me too from the way she embraces me with her little arms.

”Who is daddy's little princess? Who is daddy's little princess?”

Antigone giggles at my playful question as I lift her above my head.

Her newfound friends didn't want to see her go.

The babies cries when I exited the nursery with Antigone. The nurses will have a tough time of calming them down and putting them to sleep.

Antigone looks at them and tries to wave a partial goodbye.

It isn't like she wouldn't be seeing them again.

As my daughter, Antigone will be their boss in the not too distant future, and they all will be her loyal comrades and friends.

They are children of Hydra and Shield, by blood or otherwise.

More than that, they will be leaders of the future themselves, so they must be trained and taught all the necessary values and knowledge.

Loyalty to me and the Cause must be instilled at a very young age. This will ensures that the future will belong to the human race.

I teleport home after informing the Shield members on the Headquarter of what to do in the upcoming weeks and months.

They are to construct terraformers with the fabricator on board of their Headquarter. These machines will be launched towards Mars and Mercury and a few other planets and moons in the solar system.

Mercury is the closest, so the planet will be transformed and settled upon. Even so, it will takes about a couple of weeks for the terraformer to reach the planet from Earth.

I also order a Hydra outpost to be built on the moon.

Mystic will conduct their magical research on there until a more permanent base could located. I don't want an undead outbreak on the planet even if I could fix it with a little time reversal.

As for test subjects, I am sure I can find them throughout time and the multiverse. If I can't, there are plenty of death row prisoners. I feel nothing for them as they have made their choices in life. Of course, I will make sure that they are actually guilty of their crime.

The justice system in America leaves much to be desired.

Not everyone in jail are criminals. Some are there because they trust too much in the system and their government.

I also have the star observatories locate habitable worlds in distant star systems. These worlds should be claimed for our purposes, one way or another.

”Where did you go, mister?”

Stephanie, my would-be mother, asks when she notices me in my home. She will always give birth to me around 2001 unless I put her on ice. In that case, someone else will.

As for her question, I have been gone for almost a week. It is actually more than that since I did freeze time in the prime universe when I am on the other side.
