While the Tennyson family is enjoying their lovely time, Maria and Ethan witnesses that, in some parts inside New York, a massive bomb blast happened.
And a terrorist named Mandarin takes all of the responsibility for this bombing. A moment of shock gripped the whole USA.
"Dad, why is this Mandarin guy bombing all over New York," Maria asked, looking at Ben.
"I don't know why, maybe he has some motive, or he wants some revenge. Or maybe it was even the Government themselves," Although Ben didn't like the work of the terrorist.
But he knew the government was not so good. Although they maintain a good image, in the race of becoming a top country. They do many illegal things.
Even though human experiments were done by them, many homeless people became their target. And even many families became their target.
He even becomes sad after knowing the story of a fallen soldier. Mark Anderson, a soldier who was fighting for his country in Iraq.
And his whole team was one day sent on the trap to die, and the trap was set by their own general.
By chance, Mark survived the attack. And he was sent on retirement.
But before he peacefully enjoyed his retirement life, his few close friends and even his wife, son and daughter were killed by some terrorist.
And Mark, who lost everything, decided to find the terrorists and kill them.
And in his search for revenge he found, not his but all his team members, who were posted in Iraq. Their family members also died in the terrorist attack.
And it all happened, because the government wants to hide their dirty work.
They have done some experiments on the team of the soldiers, which caused the soldiers to get a brain tumor.
And for hiding their work from public, they send the soldiers on the suicide mission. And they even went so extreme, that they killed the whole family of the soldiers, whoever participated in the experiment.
Although Mark was a good soldier, in the face of full government force, after taking revenge on his family members, he also died in a fake terrorist attack. Which was created by the government.
When Ben was searching for Captain America clues, he found Mark Anderson. And knowing what happened to a fallen soldier. He became so angry that he didn't think for a second.
And wanted to kill all of the conspirators. But, since he didn't kill anyone in his life, except for Maltruant. He stopped himself from going berserk.
But he had decided to punish them. Although his dream also has not been completed. Because a guy who was named by Punisher, and he was also the friend of Mark Anderson.
Goes on a rampage and single-handedly kills all of the conspirators, and takes revenge for his friend Mark. Although, now he was also wanted by the American Government.
Because of these Ben knew, sometimes even the Government does the dirty work by themselves, and put the terrorist names.
And not only these, but a few powerful people for their own benefits, do the dirty work and put the terrorist names.
But sometimes it also happens, when some guy does this for revenge. And he was also labeled by the Government as a terrorist.
So, there is any reason that can happen, and Ben couldn't find out about it, till he was interested in this topic.
And now, he was only interested in his upcoming child, not on some Mandarin guy.
Ethan chuckled, "Dad, can Iron Man deal with this Mandarin guy?"
Ben winked at his son, "I don't know about it; it will show in the future whether Iron Man is capable or not."
Days later, when news arrived of Happy Hogan's injury and Tony Stark's address being revealed, the room erupted in laughter.
Emma couldn't resist poking fun at Tony's choice of actions, "Oh, Tony, you really know how to handle a crisis, don't you?"
Elizabeth chimed in, "I hope Happy Hogan gets well soon, but Tony really needs to work on his decision-making. How can he announce his address to the whole world so easily?"
The Tennyson family didn't show any reaction to this news, because their whole time was focused on the upcoming kids.
Even when they witnessed the terrorist attack on Stark's home live.
Maria piped up, showing a little concern, "Daddy, is Iron Man going to be okay?"
Ben reassured her, "Don't worry, sweetheart. Iron Man is a tough one. He'll be okay."
Because Ben knew, Tony had escaped from there.
But before the first news ended, another one popped up. The TV screen blared with breaking news about the ambush of Nick Fury by assailants led by the mysterious Winter Soldier.
Ethan glanced at the screen, intrigued, "Dad, isn't Nick Fury that guy you always say is a master of secrets?"
Ben nodded, "That's right, Ethan. He's a master of deception too; he has an extra secret of his secret. He was a real spy and always comes alive. Even if his dead body is present in front of you, don't believe it."
Maria looked up with wide eyes, "Why would someone want to hurt Mr. Fury?"
Amelia leaned closer to the TV, her expression thoughtful, "It's a complicated world, sweetheart. Sometimes, even those we trust the most can have hidden agendas."
"Or maybe, the government didn't want the Avengers, since it was like a fish bone stuck inside their neck." Ben explained.
As the news reported Fury's alleged death and Steve Rogers being accused of his murder, the room was filled with a mixture of curiosity and doubt.
Mariam crossed her arms, "How can they blame it on Captain America?"
Ben raised an eyebrow, his intuition kicking in, "Don't think about it; they are planning to capture HYDRA in one fell swoop. It wouldn't surprise me if this is all part of Nick Fury's game. He's the ultimate master of misdirection."
After one month, they had made a habit of watching the events of the world regularly on Upgrade TV. Since they couldn't engage in extra activities due to the pregnancies of Mariam, Evanthe, and Jean.
As they watched on Upgrade TV, they found out that not only had Tony Stark escaped from the terrorists, but he also defeated them. Now, he was preparing to undergo surgery to remove the shrapnel near his heart.
Mariam was confused and asked, upon learning that Tony Stark had promised never to use the Iron Suit again, "Why is he leaving his Iron Man suit? Without it, he's just useless."
"Don't believe in him. The man says one thing, and he's off doing another. Classic Stark," Ben said with a playful grin.
The family shifted their attention to the next news story, where Fury, under the cover of his apparent death, was heading to Eastern Europe in pursuit of Hydra's remaining cells.
As they witnessed Fury putting flowers on his own gravesite, a comical expression passed through the room. Ethan couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, you were right; we never need to believe that Fury is dead. He's happily putting flowers on his own grave."
The room filled with laughter as they shared in the humor of Fury's slyness and Stark's antics.
As the scene changed to the Hydra lab with Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and the test subjects, Emma, Elizabeth, and Jean exchanged knowing glances.
They noticed a girl doing some magical things while a boy was running so fast.
Emma smiled, "Ah, Quicksilver. We've met his mutant counterpart in Universe 421. He was Magneto's son there."
Ben clarified, "Well, Emma, this Quicksilver is not Magneto's son. He's an alternate version from the Avengers Universe. Different origin, same incredible speed."
Six months had swiftly passed since the joyous news of Mariam and Evanthe's pregnancies. And since it more critical time for them, they go to William mansion, and from there they need to go to London.
As they arrived at the mansion, Evelyn and Isabella carefully hold Mariam, Amelia and Jean, and take them inside.
Since six months have passed, both Mariam and Amelia's baby bump is fully developed.
Stephen gathered the extended family in the living room of the William Mansion, and announced, "It's time for us to journey to our main family home in London."
Ben nodded, and with his wives and children joined Stephen, Evelyn and Isabella as they stepped inside the sleek, futuristic jet that bore the insignia of the William family.
The jet soared through the skies, crossing continents, it finally touched down in the heart of the secret city of London—William City. Within a sprawling radius of 50 km, the expanse of the William family's territory unfolded.
Majestic buildings were built around the landscape, seamlessly blending modern architecture. Towering forests and manicured gardens sprawled across the grounds. A crystal-clear swimming lake is also created there.
An expansive airport, reserved exclusively for the William family. As the jet descended, the scene outside the windows transformed, revealing the breathtaking beauty of the William family's lineage.
As the jet touched down at the William airport in London, a sleek, futuristic vehicle awaited for the family. Ben, accompanied by his wives, along with his son and daughter, stepped into the vehicle alongside in-laws.
Within moments, it arrived at the entrance of the grandparents' villa—Hawkins and Seraphina William.
"Welcome, dear ones," Hawkins greeted with a warm smile.
Seraphina, standing beside him, added, "It's a joy to have you all here. The villa is yours to enjoy during your stay."
Elara, the second wife of Hawkins, appeared with grace and warmth. "Your presence brings light to our home. Please, make yourselves at home," she said, her voice carrying a soothing melody.
The family, led by the grandparents, entered the villa, where an air of familial history and love were present every corner.
"Ben," Hawkins began, his voice resonating with paternal pride, "You have done a really good thing by giving us great-grandchildren. You've earned our deepest gratitude."
Seraphina embraced Amelia, Mariam and Jean, and said, "Your journey into motherhood is a very beautiful thing. We will support and guide you every step of the way."
With genuine warmth, the grandparents and Elara explained their decision to stay in the villa until the children were born.
A gentle smile graced Mariam's face, she said. "I can't believe how soon we'll be welcoming our little one. But, I am happy here, grandfather."
Amelia and Jean, also nodded with Mariam.
Emma, and Elizabeth also showed their unwavering support. "We will take care of Mariam, Amelia, and Jean in difficult times. You can count on us."
