Have you felt good and bad at the same time. That you have made it and still a loser? Stormbreaker asked his wife Linda. All the time, she replied. He did not know whether she truly meant it or she was just trying to comfort him. He poured himself a bourbon. But have you ever felt like a Hero and a Villain? He asked particularly no one. He stood outside the balcony that night and spoke to the wind. His wife came to his side and stood next to him. Human lives are like that, she said to him. We are all like the ocean. Calm on the outside, but deep currents inside move is. He looked at his wife. But I'am not human, he said to her. You are, she said and took the glass from his hands. That is one too much, she said. You are right, the world needs me, he said to her with his usual aplomb. She laughed and the only one who could handle his narcissm and not make a deal out if it. She even liked it, he suspected. There was. Knock on the door, just then.
It was Maximoff.
What do you want? he asked him. Looking at his watch suggesting that he was very late. It's Kook! he replied. Mister Mind just barged into the house, ge was standing by the door but Stormbreaker did not notice it. Turn the tv on, said Mister Mind. Stormbreaker stared at him for a second she turned the TV on. Kook was on, the news had been replaying on all channels all over the world. They watched him speak in cryptic as he usually did. Then he uttered a few words that sent all of them to shock. Here, said Kook in the television. I have a switch with me.
Once I detonate this switch, bombs, he said with an evil smile. Sorry! he said in a very German tongue. Warheads, he clarified. They will wipe you out. All of you! he stared into the soul of every man who watched him on the true. I have a hundred warheads pointed in every direction, he stood up and walked around the room, he was in. The room was well lit and looked like Christmas. "Once I detonate," he said again almost touching the button giving a heart attack to millions of women around the world. The men could not do anything except hold their wives together. "You will all evaporate," he said and put on a Santa mask. As he finished speaking, the recording moved to an animation of Santa in his sleigh, delivering presents.
Stormbreaker turned the tv off. "Is it Christmas," he asked them. "That's not the point," said Maximoff. "I know," said Stormbreaker. " I was just trying to lighten the mood," he added.
" Now is not the time," said Mister Mind. We need to call all the heroes.
