[Monte Carlo, Monaco]
[May 23rd, 2010]
(Future Emperor of Earth Doom: POV)
'No Sleep Til Brooklyn' by the Beastie Boys blasting on the speakers, I expertly drove the dark green 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago I was in through the streets of Monaco.
Susan sitting with me in the passenger seat.
In a stunning no strap good dress.
Meanwhile my attire consisted of my usual dark-green tux.
Since if it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
Taking a sharp left turn, and then a right, I pulled up to the red carpet entrance of the Hotel de Paris.
Where they were hosting the opening party for the Grand Prix de Monaco.
After I brought the car to a stop I looked at Susan. "Are you ready my dear?"
"Why yes king Victor. I am." Susan replied. A smile on her face.
"Excellent." I replied. I then gave her a quick kiss. "Let's go." I said.
I then got out of the driver side, while Susan simultaneously got out of the passenger side.
The two of us then joined up and linked arms.
We then began our stroll down the red carpet.
Ignoring any questions launched in our direction.
Since despite the fact we got married almost two years ago Susan and I are still very much a hot topic.
We've actually been dubbed the world's best 'Power Couple'.
Which is true in more ways than one.
Though ordinary people don't need to know that.
At least not all of it yet.
But when the time comes they will.
Moving on.
Giving the usual fake smiles and waves Susan and I quickly made our way inside the hotel.
Once we did we relax.
We then began mingling with the others who had been invited to the party that had already arrived.
Many of them people Susan and I had already met several times over the past few years since we launched the Future Foundation.
Which Susan is the overall director of.
A job she has been excelling at ever since she obtained it.
The same applies to motherhood.
Susan has been killing it on both those fronts.
However because of this she has essentially all but retired from the Fantastic Four.
Leaving only Ben and Johnny.
For now that is. Since I have a plan to create a brand new Fantastic Four.
One which doesn't have a problem with my future plans and goals.
Some of which I have let Susan, Johnny, and Ben on in the last couple of years and discovered they were agreeable to.
Especially after I gave each of them a dose of the Ambrosia Serum, including Alicia which restored her lost eyesight.
Not to mention I also showed Alicia the dark truth about her stepfather, Phillip Masters.
The man who would've become known as Puppet Master now resting comfortably in one of my Latverian prisons.
His eyesight having been removed.
Where he will stay for the rest of his natural days.
So yeah, all that certainly allowed me to pull the remaining F4 and Alicia into my circle more.
As the two of us continued to mingle Tony and Pepper eventually arrived.
When they did Susan and I began making our way over to them.
Only to be stopped by one Gideon fucking Malick.
'What is this annoying squid during here?' I thought.
Well no matter.
This has just become a good opportunity to build up towards the end game for HYDRA.
Where none will fucking survive.
"King Victor, Queen Susan, we haven't met before but I just had to meet you both. The name is Gideon Malick. A pleasure." He said.
"Same to you Mr. Malick." Susan spoke.
"Yes." I agreed. "Wait, Malick? Don't tell me you're the same Malick who founded and owns Gothite Industries?"
"The one and only." Malick said.
"Well then sir, allow me to say again what a pleasure it is to meet you." I spoke.
I then offered my hand to Malick.
Which he shook.
As he did I used my telepathy to enter into his mind.
Finding myself easily able to access it.
You know with all the fucking telepaths and brainwashing techniques that exist in this reality, many of which they employ themselves, you'd think the leaders of HYDRA would have better mental defenses.
But no.
I guess they are just that arrogant in that regard.
A huge plus for me.
Because after getting into Gideon mind it didn't take me more than a minute to pull out all the dirty little secrets he kept hidden in the thing he calls a brain.
When I did this I learned quite a few interesting things.
First, those Monoliths featured in the Agents of SHIELD television series don't exist here. Which means I don't have to fuckng worry about that monster HIVE.
Second, it looks like Gideon's brother Nathaniel Malick is still alive in this reality, and just like his counterpart featured in the final season of Agents of SHIELD he's a guy who enjoys human experimentation on those with superhuman abilities.
Just looking at some of the memories where Gideon observed his brother "working" makes me want to rip his spine out through his chest right now.
But I won't.
Since I have plans for this one.
Third, it looks like the remaining heads of HYDRA had a meeting dedicated to me, Latveria, and my actions a short while ago. Specifically in regards to how to try to fuck me.
The ideas they came up being placing economic and trade sanctions on Latveria. As well as placing their own bounty on my head. Their number being 500 million.
Meaning I finally have a bounty worthy of one such as myself.
But back to the main point.
The heads of HYDRA also suggested kidnapping someone close to me and then brainwashing them to act as a sleeper agent to feed them intel.
Or just brainwashing me myself.
Which is why Gideon is here today.
To make a preliminary assessment in regards to my security. So if he and his fellow squid heads have no other option but to kidnap me and brainwash me, they can.
Honestly the balls on these people are huge.
Which is why I have the tiniest bit of respect for them in that regard.
Too bad for them it seems they still don't understand who they are fuckng with.
But when the time comes they will.
After getting all I wanted from Gideon mind I quickly began molding it to suit my own needs.
Now instead of HYDRA getting an undercover agent into my inner circle I have just pulled an uno reverse and placed my own in theirs.
Gideon here is going to be feeding me intel on all of HYDRA.
So when I feel they need to be crushed I can.
In no time at all I finished using my telepathy on Gideon.
The man none the wiser.
Since I did all I needed to do inside of his head in the span of our handshake.
Which after we broke Gideon excused himself.
Allowing us to finally continue unimpeded towards Tony and Pepper.
