“Grandpa, I want candy ice cream.” Yelena requested as they finished having dinner and now awaited some dessert.
Hector also prepared to drop the cold news as the cold ice cream arrived. He would have taken all these girls with him if he could, but since they also had lives, friends, and families here, he couldn’t do that.
“Now that we have ended our little dinner let’s get to the main point. Girls, I will be leaving this universe in a few days and will likely never be able to return. As you all know, I am not a normal man. I am a higher-dimensional being that is just on vacation here.
“But, know this, you are my family, and I love you all. However, if I stay, the universe will collapse.”
Ice-Cream fell from Yelena’s hands as she stared at his face. “You’re leaving us?”
“I’m not leaving you, but I must go. However, do not worry, as I won’t be dying. I will just return to the higher dimension. I will still be watching over you all and waiting for you when you come to the heavens eventually.” he clarified.
Yelena jumped over. “Take me along then! I got nothing here. Even Natasha has a boyfriend now. I don’t want to leave Moony either.”
Hector thought about it and nodded. Indeed, Yelena didn’t have much left in the world. She was just living her life and trying to pass some time by keeping herself occupied. She was just five when Hector took her in, and he’d been a part of her life since then. So, it made sense in her case.
Jean spoke just then. “Is there nothing we can do to stop you?”
“I’m afraid there isn’t.” He replied. “Even the power of the Phoenix is nothing when compared to the scale of the Omniverse. It’s vast, and the beings living there are many times stronger than the Phoenix. Even I am like that—one of the reasons why I can’t stay here.”
“Is there no way to talk to you again?” Natasha calmly asked him.
“Of course there is. I am not dying, my lovely girls. I am just moving homes, that’s it. I can still use some means to talk to you, so do not worry.”
“What about the world? Without you, it will all collapse.” Jean asked him.
Hector couldn’t care less about that. “I have done my part and have set the plans in motion that should result in a positive outcome. But if the people still somehow mess things up, there was no point in saving them.”
“The world will feel a bit empty without you now… with you constantly taking over the news everywhere… being the talk of every little group party, every bar, and every school.” Natasha blurted as she remembered her childhood, where she read about Hector King Washington and what a great man he was. The only reason the books showed him great in the Soviet Union was that the world had thought he was dead.
But, she couldn’t help but remember when she saw him, landing with that spaceship in the cold snow. How she only had to ask once, and he changed her entire life.
She couldn’t help but feel emotional and try to stop those tears from jumping out. It was clear from one look what she was going through, despite her attempts to be subtle.
Hector snapped his finger and made the table disappear, then sat beside her and hugged her. “No need to be sad now. Or I will get sad too. I only wish for you to live your life happily here, enjoy whatever you like. I will always be waiting for you up there.”
“Grandpaaaa!” Jean also jumped and hugged him and strangled his neck. While Yelena was happy because she was going along, though that didn’t mean she wouldn’t jump to hug them all.
Hector laughed heartily and just straight up accepted that he loved the hell out of this life and opportunity. He got to make a family he never had, and even if it was time to go, he would always have them by his side up there.
“I wanna sleep with you!” Yelena shouted suddenly.
(•ˋ _ ˊ•)
Hector looked left and right quickly and then at the girl’s face. “Cough… Dear, that’s not appropriate to say after you’re this old.”
She scoffed. “You said you’re billions of years old! That’s like… that makes you older than this whole planet.”
But instead of holding Yelena back, Jean jumped up. “Grandpaaaa! I want to sleep wit-”
Hector quickly slapped his palm on her mouth and shut her up. “Damnit, girls. You’re trying to ruin your grandpa’s century of reputation in one day?”
Cough!
Natasha gracefully coughed then and looked at Hector as he covered Yelena and Jean’s mouths.
“Don’t…”
Natasha smirked evilly. “Grandpaaa…”
“For God’s sake!” Hector just snapped his finger and teleported to his home instead, on the couch where Diana was lying in her nightgown, watching Netflix with Moony, Fenris, and Michu. Some sort of a cartoon was running where a boy kept shouting Sasuke.
Bam!
They all fell on the sofa as well. Hector beside Diana, Yelena beside Moony, Natasha beside Fenris, and Jean appeared underneath the little Shiba puppy, Michu.
Diana chuckled as she cupped her arm around her husband’s shoulder. “I believe the evening was great?”
Hector grunted. “Indeed, our little girls nearly got me cancelled on the internet.”
“I just said I want to sleep with Grandpa,” Yelena complained.
At that, Diana opened her other arm wide for the girl to jump over and snuggle beside the hottest and the oldest woman in the world. But despite looking so young, she had the supreme mom energy.
While others were just happy with the wolves, Jean just jumped over and snuggled with her favourite professor Moony, the being who helped her when she was little.
In an instant, Mount Vernon felt much warmer that night.
And when Hector saw that, he had a great idea in his wholesome head that went totally against his Hell’s Inquisitor title. But it sure would likely immortalise his name in the annals of the history of the planet.
…
The very next day, Hector arrived at the White House and called a few reporters to come at his office and interview him.
With the cameras focused on him and his live stream turned on, he signed a new bill passed in the UN on the same day.
“I know many of you must be thinking, what is this old man doing now? Well, for starters, it’s something that will help billions as we go on. So, watch me as I sign this.” He said as he really signed a document on the table.
“From this moment on, I officially become the default guardian of every single orphan child in the world. Not just this, but every single child orphaned in the coming future will be my child. I shall be everyone’s grandpa until the end of time. Now, let me also warn those who think they can run and leave their child, thinking I will grow them to adulthood so they can one day come back and take them.
“From now on, if you let go of your child, it’s permanent unless genuine circumstances are at play. Now let’s talk about financing. Well, as you know, I am extremely rich, not just on Earth but in space as well, and I will keep on making money for eternity. Hence, from now on, Hector Foundation will oversee all of this.
“If any orphan is watching me right now. Child, you are not alone… you will never be alone. I may not stand beside you physically, but my support shall remain with you forever! You shall never sleep hungry, never be hurt, and never be forced to work. From now… you have a very strong Grandpa.”
And at that moment, millions of young and old children across orphanages, forced labour factories and foster homes worldwide cried for some reason.
Most only knew Hector’s name… yet his legend was akin to a god. What he says is what he does… so the hope for a better tomorrow was never this bright—and finally, it was now in sight.
