Next day, Dr Selvig was seen with some of the S.H.I.E.L.D agents inside the headquarters, his hands were tied and eyes were blindfolded, it showed he was brought there forcefully.
"Leave me alone, why do you capture me? Don't think, S.H.I.E.L.D is the law of America," He shouted, when the agents opened his mouth, eyes and hands.
"Don't show your anger on them, I have invited you here," A voice came out, and with it Nick Fury appeared in front of Dr. Selvig.
"So, it was you Nick Fury, you wanted to capture us, because we didn't sign the NDA and wanted to control those with knowledge of extraordinary events." Dr. Selvig voiced his suspicion.
Nick Fury, familiar with such concerns, countered, "No, Doctor, we just want you to work with us."
"Why would I work with you? I need to help Jane in her research," Dr. Selvig declined.
"I know, you wanted to do your research with Jane, but I think you will change your decision, after you see, about what we will be working on," Nick Fury explained the main motive, without any hesitation.
"Ok, then let's see, what can change my decision," Eric nodded. Nick Fury then led Dr. Erik Selvig into a secure chamber within the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters.
The room held a secret suitcase, and as Fury opened it, the contents were revealed to be none other than the Tesseract—the powerful cosmic artifact that had played a significant role in various events.
Dr. Selvig, with an expression of awe and curiosity, questioned, "What is this?"
Fury, wearing a mischievous grin, began to unravel the history and significance of the Tesseract. He explained its origins and the advanced weaponry the Red Skull had developed using its power during World War II.
"This is a source of unimaginable power, Dr. Selvig," Fury explained. "And after witnessing its capabilities, you might find a new perspective on your research."
The Tesseract's glow filled the room, casting an otherworldly light that reflected in Dr. Selvig's eyes. As Fury continued to unveil the secrets of this cosmic artifact.
Dr. Selvig's scientific curiosity was piqued, and the allure of its potential drew him into the mysterious world of extraterrestrial forces.
...….
Ben asked, "Amelia, what should I wear today?" As he was getting ready, Amelia walked in and she helped Ben prepare for Mariam's 18th birthday.
She selected a formal outfit for him of Evanthe brand. A well-tailored charcoal gray suit paired with a crisp white shirt and a deep blue tie. The suit was accented with polished black leather shoes and a matching belt. "This looks great on you, my love," She said, which he gladly accepted.
For herself, she wore an elegant knee-length navy blue dress, adorned with a delicate floral pattern. Her outfit matches with Ben's attire.
They sat inside the sci-fi car that was sleek and futuristic in design. It had shimmering silver exteriors with softly glowing blue accents, giving them a high-tech, space-age appearance.
As the doors opened, it revealed interiors filled with comfortable, cushioned seats that seemed to adjust to the body of each passenger as they sat. It was a Mariam Interstellar Car.
They started it, and went towards the William Mansion in Washington DC. When they reached, Ben found that it was a grand party, with minimum guests. Not all of the family members came; only her grandparents came.
The first guest is Hawkins William, who is the father of Stephen. He was dressed in a classic black suit with a crisp white dress shirt and a burgundy tie. His silver hair was neatly combed.
The second guest is Amelia's grandmother, Seraphina William. She was dressed in an elegant emerald green gown that flowed gracefully to the floor, her silver hair was styled in loose waves.
They're also quite old. Around 120 years old, but their bodies look like they're in their 30s; it's also a secret of their family.
Then Ben noticed towards his father-in-law, Stephen William. He looked sharp in a dark navy suit, a light blue shirt, and a tie with subtle geometric patterns. His salt-and-pepper hair was neatly trimmed.
Mother-in-law Evelyn William wore a knee-length crimson dress with a tasteful floral print. Her auburn hair was swept up into an elaborate bun.
Finally, there was Mariam William. Mariam was wearing a charming pale lavender thighs-length skirt adorned with a playful butterfly pattern. Her youthful energy radiated from her smile. Although it was her birthday today, she seemed shy whenever she noticed Ben.
She even tried to hide from him, and every time she saw him, she would start blushing. Ben gives her a naughty smile, and goes towards her.
The grand celebration of Mariam William's 17th birthday unfolded with anticipation. As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Mariam made an entrance onto the birthday stage.
At Mariam's 18th Birthday Celebration, the lively atmosphere resonated with joy. "Hello, everyone, I have important information to share with you," announced Stephen, capturing the attention of the guests.
The room hushed as all eyes focused on them. "Ben, come here," Stephen beckoned, and Ben followed him to the center.
"He is going to be my son-in-law. I am marrying both my daughters, Amelia and Mariam, to him next month. Please remember to join us," Stephen declared, dropping a bombshell that left everyone stunned.
Marrying both daughters to the same person was unexpected, but the shock was met with cheers and applause. Since it was the William family, no one has the guts to complain about them.
Amidst the cheers and congratulations, the birthday celebration reached its conclusion. A corner of the room became a haven for well-wishers offering their blessings to Mariam and Amelia for their upcoming joint wedding.
Emily, a close friend, expressed, "May your love be as enduring as the stars, Mariam and Amelia, and may your journey together be filled with joy and beautiful memories."
Jake, another friend, raised his glass, saying, "To the harmony of two souls becoming one."
Linda, a colleague, shared her wishes, "I hope your marriage will be a garden of love, with each day blossoming into a new and beautiful flower."
The guests extended their heartfelt blessings, creating a special moment for Mariam and Amelia amid the festivities.
With the birthday festivities in full swing, after her wedding congratulations, Mariam's Cake Cutting Ceremony became the highlight of the celebration.
A beautifully adorned cake took center stage and her families gathered around, to cheer for her.
Mariam, with a beaming smile, held the knife, ready to cut the first slice. "Here's to another amazing year!" she exclaimed. The room filled with cheers and applause as the knife glided through the cake.
As the first slice was lifted, Mariam made a delightful gesture. "I want to share the sweetness of the first piece with my future husband," she announced.
She held a fork with a piece of cake, ready to feed the first bite to her future husband. With a shy smile, she approached Ben, saying, "Husband, taste the first bite of my cake."
"Of course, my love," Ben nodded, and he took a bite of the birthday cake, which she fed him. The audience watched in admiration as this sweet moment unfolded.
Then Ben looked towards Mariam, he held her face, "Since, I have taken the cake bite, I also need to savor you," He leaned towards her, hugged her in his arms, and put his lips on her. Soon, they started kissing each other. And their normal kiss turned into a french kiss.
After the Ben and Mariam kiss ended, she gave the second bite of the cake to her father, "Dad, thank you for always being my pillar of strength."
Stephen accepted with a proud smile, blessing her, "May each year bring you more wisdom and joy, Mariam."
Next, she turned to her mother, sharing the piece of cake, "Mom, you've made every day of my life brighter."
After feeding her a piece of cake, Evelyn reciprocated with a tender kiss on Mariam's cheek, adding, "Wishing you a future filled with love and success, my dear."
Mariam then gives the piece of cake to her grandfather, "Grandpa, your wisdom is my guiding light."
He chuckled and ruffled her hair affectionately, smiling warmly, and gave her the blessings. Mariam then offered the piece of cake to Seraphina, while she gave her the blessings.
At last she turned towards her sister, "Sister, thanks for supporting me all the time. Without you, I don't know how I will live."
"It's okay, dear," Amelia patted her hair, "Afterall, I am going to take care of you, even after our wedding."
Finally, as the birthday celebration came to a close, the room echoed with laughter and love. The warmth of family, coupled with the well-wishes, made Mariam's birthday unforgettable.
With the birthday celebration concluded and the guests departed, the William family convened in the meeting room.
It was also the moment William's family was going to explain their secret.
Amelia's grandfather and father wore expressions of concern, aware of the importance and sensitivity of the topic they were about to discuss.
Hawkins William took a deep breath and then spoke, "My dear family, we have gathered here today to discuss a matter of great significance."
Evelyn, Amelia's mother, took over, "We are the keepers of a great power. The power of the Emperor Inhumans."
"Emperor Inhumans? You guys are Emperor Inhumans?" Ben asked, looking shocked.
Since he has already found many hidden details, he also knows about the hidden society known as Inhumans.
He knows the Inhumans reside in the city of Attilan on the Blue Area of the Moon, where normal Inhumans come together and form a council.
A man known as Black Bolt and the red-haired woman Medusa, ruled over the Inhumans society. They consider themselves as 'Queen' and 'King' and have formed the Inhumans Council.
However, the Inhuman society seems to have forgotten about Emperor Inhuman lineage. Emperor Inhumans is royalty among the Inhumans society.
And Ben was shocked to know that in the Williams family was Emperor Inhumans.
"Yes, Ben, we are the Emperor Inhumans," Amelia nodded.
"Okay," Ben nodded, "But what is special about the Emperor Inhumans?" He asked, through his advanced technology he knew about the Inhumans, but didn't know about the Emperor Inhumans, so that's why he wanted to know.
"Well Ben, we Emperor Inhumans possess unique abilities and carry great responsibilities."
Hawkins looked at Ben and then back at Amelia, "Well, it's part of our family tradition and heritage."
Hawkins William continued, "We have separated from Inhumans society years ago. And here we formed the William Family. Since, we want to live in peace and calm."
"Okay, but how did you guys become Emperor Inhumans," Ben curiously asked.
Stephen takes a long breath, before explaining, "We live in a universe filled with many living planets and a wide variety of species."
"One of these species is known as the Kree. In the past, they conducted experiments on some humans, which granted them extraordinary powers. We call these individuals 'Inhumans,' and we are one of them."
"The Kree conducted these experiments nearly 100,000 years ago on five different species, and humans were one of those species. They found that they couldn't control the Inhumans' powers, so they resorted to massacring them."
"Many of the surviving Inhumans fled to different places, and our lineage is descended from one of those Inhumans."
"Then with our blood, we created the Inhumans society, while we become their King. But later, after getting tired, we leave this position."
"Okay, but what are your powers," Ben nodded, while asking about their powers.
"Our family mainly possesses three types of powers," Stephen William continued, "Our powers are unique. We possess the teleportation powers," He demonstrated this by teleporting around the room before sitting back down in his chair. "However, there's also a tradition to enhance our powers, which I will explain when you reach the right time."
Evelyn continued, "And we are also born with the power of Instant Regeneration, and an additional unique power." She demonstrated the Instant Regeneration by making a cut on her hand, which instantly healed.
Hawkins demonstrated his powers by manipulating time, showcasing his ability by mending after breaking a teacup. "Our next power is Time Manipulation. I was born with both Time Manipulation and Instant Regeneration."
Sharky was really amazed seeing their unique powers, while Evelyn started revealing her Family Tradition.
"So, our family, always married with only Inhumans. This was the first time we are marrying William's daughters outside of the family."
"And since we follow the tradition from the King's era. So, we will always marry our daughters to a single groom."
"Because of this, we are marrying both Mariam and Amelia to you."
"Ok, I understand. And I was ready to embrace it," Ben nodded, while he agreed with them.
"Thanks for understanding Ben. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. This decision will keep our unique tradition alive."
