Chapter 252: Death Babies?
[You can read chapters in advance, OP and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
California.
"Woof Wuwo."
"Governor Moony says that anyone who litters the streets will be fined 100$ from now on." Jean translated everything the big good boy said.
"Wuf bow bow wowow."
"And from now on, abandoning pets will land you in jail. You can leave them at the animal shelter if you must, but abandoning them on roads is bad."
"Bowowow..."
"A new garbage recycling plant is also going to be opened outside LA. They will use cutting-edge technology of robots and machines to do the job. The aim is to achieve 90% recycling. The remaining non-destructible waste will be turned into a paste with the help of bio-mold and then be used to make streets."
"Wowooooo."
"And all of you must stop sending me treats and toys now, my house can't fit any more of it, and if dad finds out, he will be angry."
The people started cheering for some reason after that, showing various sign boards with "We love you" or "The Goodest Boy". Some were even holding giant plushie toys of Moony. Some were dressed like him; some had also brought their huskies.
The whole state absolutely loved Moony as he didn't really need to do much work. All the good policies were pushed by Hector, and Yelena drafted them for Moony to sign, while Jean ensured Moony never faced any miscommunication.
After the little meeting, it was time for dinner night. Three couples were meeting, Hector and Diana, Jean and Loki, and Thor and Jane. Of course, Moony will be there too, but he was just the little kid among the adults with his friend Fenris.
Meanwhile, Yelena went on to prepare for her upcoming Senate campaign. She wished to finally enter the lawmaking body and walk in her grandpa's footsteps. But since she had support from Moony and Hector, her win was already ensured.
...
The dinner was set at Mount Vernon because Hector believed that no matter what they did, they could not get any privacy in any private hotel, even if he were to book the whole hotel.
So, he called a few droids from space to cook for him after they read and watched the entire youtube library of cooking tutorials. These non-sentient droids were deliberately disconnected from any wireless network to ensure they were not compromised. After dinner, they would be wiped clean of their memories and sent back to work.
The table was set in the back gardens to enjoy the soothing breeze of the Potomac River.
"How are you all doing? Loki, I hope you have not annoyed Jean. And Thor... well, I hope you learned something while living on Earth."
"Earth has some really great drinks," Thor replied happily.
~He's still like a pup, excited for everything with a short attention span.~ Hector sighed.
"I've been good, sir. However, I also believe that I would not be sitting here if I was not good." Loki honestly replied.
"Bwahaha, indeed. Jean would have whooped your arse. But I'm glad you two formed a good understanding. I never thought the God of Mischief would ever straighten up, but I guess love is a miraculous medicine."
"Bwo wo." Moony barked quickly while sitting on a chair beside his girlfriend, Fenris.
"Yes, Moony agrees. But this has me thinking, when are you folks going to get married? Especially you, Thor, and Jane. You two should know that your lifespans will make your relationship impossible. For Thor, it'd be like three years, but for Jane, it may be like thirty. How old is Jane? 30? You should already be planning babies if you're serious." Hector gave his honest advice.
The two awkwardly looked at each other. They had this thought already many times, but they always tried not to talk about it. They merely wanted to enjoy the time they had together.
But Hector saying it slammed them face to face with reality. Thor looked saddened as he truly loved Jane. "I... I will go and try to find an eternal elixir somewhere. That should make Jean immortal."
Hector sighed. "No Elixir is perfect, Thor. They all have some hidden price that slowly piles up and ends up feeling much bigger than the grace of immortality."
Thor looked dejected. Hector could turn Jean immortal in a second if he wanted but now was not the time. They needed to face a few hardships on their own before their resolve to be together became unbreakable.
He didn't want to turn her immortal, only for them to break up later. That would be a waste of immortality. So, he reckoned if they had kids before that, there were fewer chances they would go their separate ways.
"I'm not marrying this one." Jean blurted all of a sudden.
Hector chuckled. "Why? What did he do now?"
"He's a dunderhead for one. He takes no secret hints from me when I need him and when I don't. He's the densest man I have ever dated in my life. Can't live my whole life with him." She complained cheekily.
Loki sighed. "Well, I am still learning. People in Asgard tend to be very straightforward and simply tell what they feel and want. But here, women have so many hidden rules. For example, why can't I ask you for your age?"
Hector scoffed at that. "Indeed, it's all nonsense rules, kid. You can't ask a woman her age or a man his salary. It's dumb things from an era when women used to be simple housewives, and their job was to look good for their men. And a man's job was to keep his pretty wife happy."
"Really? I didn't know that." Jean exclaimed.
"Well, I'm just bullshitting, but I think this is the reason behind this saying." Hector silently took a bite from the stake, avoiding Diana's gaze.
"Pfft... you're the same as before." Jean laughed heartily.
Hector proudly responded. "Isn't that why you all like me and... why Diana fell for me? So why would I change now?"
Diana coughed and added. "Everything is great, except your habit of putting a wet towel on the bed. I've repeatedly told you to hang it outside to dry."
Hector glanced at Moony. "Boy, I gave that job to you for a treat every time. It seems you've been taking the treats but not working."
Moony continued to eat his food silently, also avoiding any gaze. He was told by Diana not to help Hector, but he reckoned there was no harm in not disclosing it to Hector. After all, he was a capitalist governor of California.
"You two are more powerful than gods and yet seem like any other lovely couple. How do you do it?" Jane Foster asked suddenly.
Diana lovingly looked into Hector's eyes and replied. "So what if we're powerful? As long as we don't forget that we're not above laws and we can enjoy little things, we can live happily."
"Indeed. I still love playing with Moony, bringing flowers to my wife, and taking her to movies or the whole family on a road trip. Call me an old-fashioned man, but I believe in little gestures." Hector added.
The two extra-dimensional beings were as mad for each other in love as the day they fell the first time. The two knew really well that if their romance was to last an eternity, they needed to care for little things. After all, both were powerful and rich, so no expensive physical items could bring them joy.
"Hey there." Just then, someone else arrived.
Hector welcomed them. "And here comes the superspy, Natasha. You even brought John? Nice. Diana wanted to meet him one."
"I'm here as well, old man." Logan and Lady's Death also appeared from a portal.
"Bwahaha... be careful now, folks. This woman can erase any of you from existence. But of course, not me and Diana."
"Woof!"
"Yes, Moony as well. Come, we have enough food for everyone. And I reckon you two are getting married soon. That's why you're here?" Hector gave Logan a warm hug.
Thor was taken aback. "He is going to marry Lady Death? The force behind all death in the Universe? Can she even love?"
Lady Death jokingly appeared angered. "How dare you say such a thing, Odinson. I shall erase you, your lover, and Asgard now."
"Can you make babies?" Thor asked further.
|O|
"Of course, I can make a baby with a simple snap of my finger."
Thor smirked and looked away, this time really annoying her.
