Chapter 264: Very Old
Chapter 264: Very Old
[You can read chapters in advance, OP and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
Yelena wanted to become a politician and one day become as good as her beloved grandpa. She wanted to do something for the world, just like the man she admired the most. Her roadmap was all set, first get into the Senate, then become a Secretary of Defense, then run for election on her own. She was a part of Hector's third party anyway, so she had enough support.
She was in the middle of her election rally for the Senator from the State of California when Natasha found her and took her to an empty cafe to talk.
"What took you so long? I thought you forgot about your sister." Yelena pouted as she hugged Natasha.
"I wanted to, but there are so many mutants to register and employ that my work is overloaded. But I came here to talk about something very important today, Yelena. It's about Alexei and Melina. They are trying to contact us again, but I wanted to make sure they could not. I don't want to have anything to do with them.
"So I asked grandpa to take care of them, but he suggested I share it with you first. What do you think about them, Yel?" Natasha bluntly asked. No time wasted.
Yelena seemed very confused and conflicted about what to even feel. She rubbed her hands and looked at the sky. "I don't know. I just stopped thinking about them once Grandpa came into our lives. I was just five back then, so I don't even remember them much.
"But, if I can, I want to meet them once and see what kind of people they were. How could they leave us in the hands of that organization... I read the papers, about how they made Black Widows. They take our uteruses and whatnot."
"Got it, let's go then. Grandpa has probably found them already." Natasha got up and extended her hand.
There was no denying anymore that the sister's bond was never going to break.
...
"We would like to meet them." The two sisters entered Hector's office.
However, as they entered, they saw Diana hurriedly getting up from Hector's lap embarrassingly. "See, you got up, and now that made things more awkward."
Diana scoffed and left after ruffling the hair of the two girls, annoying them.
"Sorry, we spoiled your moment." Natasha apologized.
"It happens daily, don't worry. So you two have decided to meet your fake parents. Let's get right to it then." Hector used the overpowered stones and summoned the man and the woman right into his office.
Alexei and Melina appeared in regular clothes. They were probably in their house, or wherever they were staying. Heck, Alexei seemed to be sleeping on the floor.
"Get up in five seconds, or you will both die!" He ordered.
Melina ran to wake up the man and make him stand up. Both of them looked terrified by his presence as the last time they saw him. It didn't all go too well.
"I ordered you that if you tried to find Natasha and Yelena again, I would kill you; then why are you chasing after them? Because Natasha is now famous? Because Yelena is now a great politician? You want to ride on their backs to a better life?" Hector dug into them with questions.
"We wished to mend our ways." They cried.
Hector didn't buy it. "I don't believe you. You've had so many years, so why now? Did you get cancer? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Alexie looked nervously around. "I-I... we want to do good. We want to become heroes... and also care for the daughters we wronged."
"Fuck off. You only want to become heroes." Yelena barked, seeing through their act. "You never saw Natasha and me as a real family, because real families don't leave each other to die."
"Let's go, Nat. I don't want anything to do with these two. They have already sold us. I won't let them use us now." Yelena walked to her sister and held her hand.
"No! Please, wait, Yelena." Melina stopped her. "I always saw you as my daughter, Natasha too. But we were helpless back then. The Soviet Union was powerful. How could we have defied them? There was nowhere to run away."
Alexei also started. "She's right. I loved you two as my girls. I know I am very stupid, I am a brute, but I loved you. And I tried to reach out, but they had locked me in prison. Melina got me out before we started our search."
"You're lying!" Natasha roared.
Hector shook his head, however. "They're not. At least this part is real. I don't know what's in their heads. But if you want, I can look in there too."
"Please, look! Look in our heads. You would know we love the two." Alexei responded.
Hector asked the two girls. "What do you want?"
Yelena shook her head. "We can never be a family again. They betrayed us; there is no forgiveness. They say they were brainwashed, then what if these emotions were also implanted in them? I am happy as I am. I don't even remember much from my life with them. I have Natasha, you, and Lady Diana to call parents; that's enough."
"Should we go?" Natasha asked her little sister.
"Yeah, let's go. Grandpa, I don't care what you do with them. I don't want to remember them even in my worst nightmares."
Hector then glanced at the two awkwardly, wondering what he should do with them. "Hmm, you two are a liability at this point. I'd rather kill you than keep you close."
"No! Please don't kill us!" they cried.
"Well, I won't physically kill you, but I sure can virtually kill you. Memory gone, stranded in space on some tech planet with knowledge of their language only. That's an amazing plot for a novel, but sadly you two won't be the protagonist or have the protagonist plot armor. Well, off you go then."
*SNAP!*
The man and woman disappeared. He could have used them on Earth too, but he let them be helpful to the Federation instead. As long as Yelena and Natasha were happy, he was happy.
"I guess I should head home now." He yawned and stretched. He was a god and didn't need sleep, but it was just an excuse to be with Diana.
He put his things away, locked his office, and returned home to Mount Vernon. It was night already, so he could hear the sound of barking and television from the house.
"I'm back!"
"Save me!"
All of a sudden, Hector noticed a new voice. He looked in the living room and found a scared Raccoon hiding in a corner while Fenris and Moony surrounded him while wagging their tails in excitement.
"Rocket? What are you doing here?"
The Raccoon cried. "Logan, that bastard dropped me here before leaving with his deadly chick. I was supposed to be his eternal friend."
"Moony, Fenris, stand back. Don't scare him now. He's too little for your size to play with." He helped the poor Raccoon and sat back on the couch. "You were living with Logan?"
"Yeah, years ago he made me his pet, well we became friends after that. At least that's what I thought I was." Rocket turned sad suddenly.
Hector patted the furry head. "It's all right, kid."
"Don't call me that. I'm Rocket. Call me by my name."
"Kid, everyone on this planet is a kid for me." Hector clarified.
Rocket didn't buy it. "How old are you then?"
"Umm, five billion? No? I think it's somewhere around there. I'm pretty old, kid." Hector tried to memorize.
()
Rocket's jaw had fallen open in shock, however. "Damn... Yeah, you can call me a kid then."
