Chapter 22: Chp. 22 More Clones
"Now, anybody have any questions?" Paul stood there calmly in front of many spooked individuals of his sudden show of power taking the weapons of people around them that dared to point them at him.
At first they thought this was just a show of a charlatan but many present already were warned of Paul being a potential Mutant who was present during the fight against someone who was said by the American Government as a world ending threat.
They came here in hopes of knowing the one who has not yet taken sides in the two dominant Mutant groups. They too had wanted a powerful person in their command but with Magneto Existing they dared not take the risk of angering the master of magentism.
Charles Xavier was also not a viable option since he seemed more aligned to the American Government. So hearing another strong being who seemed to have no allegiance made them want to contact the person if they could ever find a price he will gladly take to help them become a weapon for them to point to others.
(A/N: SHIELD is not yet known world-wide and is mostly secretive in their actions for the moment.)
So some of them were already awed at the display of Paul's powers, some even with keen eyes found that some guns were not magnetic at all so maybe his powers are different to the infamous mutant terrorist.
The place as silent as hell with many still looking at Paul in hesitation, but one fearless man raised his hand and asked a question Paul did not expect.
"Are you an alien then?" a middle eastern prince asked as he looked at Paul in a scrutinizing way.
"*Chuckle* Sort of…" but Paul answered something everybody did not expect except for Fury and the other SHIELD agents as well as some American military men who tagged along with some business men.
"What do you mean by that?" another asked but before Paul could answer more questions keep coming up.
"Where's you spaceship?" Curious NPC
"Can I buy it?" Rich NPC
"What's your price?" Richer NPC
"You want an island? We have many." Very Rich NPC
"Are you taking us for a laugh here mate?" Aussie NPC
"How fast can you fly?" Princess Shuri
"Do you have a penis?" Rich Female NPC
"Are you single?" Thirsty NPC.
"Were you sent by your parents here when your planet collapsed?" Nerd NPC
"Who made the dessert?" Fat NPC
Many weird questions were asked but some were probing questions as they wanted to see if Paul said was true. But all they got were non-committal answers and it raised more questions than getting things clear.
"Why are you here then?" Wilson Fisk asked in his deep somber voice which made the others present silent since publicly he still is a very rich well respected philanthropist and successful businessman.
"Glad you asked, but first let me clear this up for all of you. Yes Aliens exist, no there is no area 51, I think. Also I am in a serious relationship and no I am not for sale and I have no spaceship coming here." Paul said these making people present not have a read on what Paul really think.
These were mostly people in the 1% of the populace so they too have experience at reading people but Paul just makes their small probes land in cotton.
"And to answer your question Mr. Fisk, I am here to make global betterment, have clearer skies and lush forest for the kids to run by." Paul smiled as he looked at the large hunk of muscle that even made Spiderman have a run for his money.
"Really? I seem to just be an expert in that field. Would you humor all of us here as to how you would be able to do what many Saints and Sages of history has failed to do so in many generations?" Fisk even with his large hulking frame still was able to smile gently like a really benevolent Buddha.
"Quiet a grandiose way of putting it Mr. Fisk…" Paul smiled at how the so called benevolent Philanthropist laid down a trap for him. Knowing Paul might already have a large amount of money in just one day from auctioning very rare famous pieces of artworks and gemstones made him think that he might take a large piece of Pie of New York which he already sees as a threat to his growing empire.
"…but I must say this first, I am not a saint…" Paul smiled as various images appeared on the tablets of many people who were related to some countries.
Every one of them got a sudden live feed of various hidden nuclear silos of their country, Fury included as well as many men from the military of the USA. Then many phones rang as they got messages from their close friends that what is happening is related to this event.
They also suddenly got calls from their presidents informing them about various nuclear missiles activating all around the globe. But as they were panicking they heard Paul's voice in their heads along with the various leaders of many countries all over the world.
Somehow Paul connected them all to be able to see and hear what their representative in this place could see and hear.
"…so my ways of achieving this is having the capital which in you all so helped me get by participating in this event…" many heard that they silos were activating on their own making those present realize that Paul has something to do with this.
Wakanda on the other hand receive messages that their dome of protection was dimming for some reason and almost on the brink of disappearance. The outside world darkened as Paul covered the whole planet with his mind power and shifted the light rays to bend away sending the whole world into sudden perpetual darkness.
"…next I will make many repairs done on this planet, but I am pretty sure many would try to make trouble…" the lights in the room also darkened as Paul's voice echoed in the minds of those present.
"…So I invited all of you here, very influential individuals all over the world. To see what will happen to the planet once you try to even bother me…" Paul took out a large piece of coal somewhere and placed it in his hands then crushed it with great force.
"…so any funny business you either plan or try will be seen as an act of aggression. And I will return it a thousand fold in ore retaliation like this." Paul opened his hands and now a diamond is in his hands with little bits of coal dust.
After finishing his speech the alarms of various hidden silos stopped and the thought connection were terminated by Paul. But he still floated there and sent some mental messages to some of the guest then flew back to the backstage.
This was Paul's clone which was stronger in base strength so could do that diamond press trick. The clone went back to the orb world while the real one appeared in his personalized room where Fury was standing stunned along with the other SHIELD agents and Shanna.
"What the f*ck was that stunt right there mother*cker?! Are you planning to start a world war all by yourself?!" Nick was fuming as he did not expect Paul's action at all, his satellites were able to pick up the activation of many nuclear warheads all over the world.
"Don't worry, only those present here and who I had connected here would remember the events of the past three minutes. You wanna know why know Charles is a telepath? Because I am one who is more powerful than he is, I can crush the whole planet if I want to." Paul just said this and walked to the stunned Shanna who was still slack jawed at what Paul did.
"Assh*le! Don't scare me like that!" Shanna punched Paul in his shoulders as she felt shocked at the way Paul handled all these powerful guest. "Wait, so I slept with an alien?" But her mind went somewhere else when she remembered the events earlier.
"Nope, I am also human. But technically I am an Alien since I came from a different Earth, more advanced and in a possible future." Paul just gave a simple explanation to his gf.
"Also Fury, I had to do that. One thing that destroyed my home was a nuclear holocaust like no other, so I had to give some warning in case these people on the top get handsy with red buttons. Also don't worry about global panic, only those feelings of fear and anxiety of all the people all over the world was copied by me and placed all of it on the minds of those idiots out there." Paul said which made Fury stop his calls.
"Why?" that was all the tanned pirate super spy asked.
"If ever they think of using nuclear weapons, they will feel that despair and fear of 6 billion people in one second. It won't kill them as I made sure it would scare them only just to make sure they all double think of being idiots like those from my past world." Paul had to emphasize that his world ended due to a series of bad decisions.
"But if they did not think of doing such things then they'll be fine. Traumatized but fine, they also won't be able to remember my face as well as yours and Coulson as a bonus since I could. This'll give you more leeway to investigate these" Paul pulled out a large bunch of files out of nowhere and gave them to Coulson and Fury.
Natasha and Clint wanted to look but they were more in alert as they had seen what Paul could do and they were in trepidation as their senses still can't seem to notice Paul even if he stood there in front of them.
They had been able to talk with the guy and found him to be easily approachable but seeing this side of him made them reevaluate their thoughts on Paul.
"Motherf*cher!!" Fury's voice sounded out as he browsed the files Paul has given. This was the list of everything related to HYDRA within SHIELD and their other hidden bases. But what set off the director is that he found Alexander Pierce's name as one of the leaders of HYDRA.
"Might I suggest you go and take the daughter of General Hale in your hands soon, she is their planned to be next leader of HYDRA. Genetically engineered to be a superior kind of human in many ways, so while she is still a toddler you could go get her and instill your own sets of values before HYDRA brainwashes her into believing their brain-dead propaganda." Paul said at the side while he talked to Shanna about his past world. Though some details were left out he still gave her time to understand and digest info she just got.
"I need to go." Fury said as he stormed out with Coulson along with the two super spies behind them. Paul waited as he talked with Shanna then a knock was heard within the door.
"Come in." Paul said as he gave Shanna space to take in the info, he knows it's too much but at least she got over it since she was able to accept him having powers.
The door to the room opened and came in two Doras escorting their King inside with a vigilant look towards Paul. They had heard of what happened to their home and felt that Paul is someone their King should not meet.
"Welcome King T'Chaka of Wakanda, it is an honor to meet such a prestigious personage personally." Paul said as he crossed his arms in his chest the way Wakandans greet each other. T'Chaka was surprised Paul knowing their way of greeting thus responded in king.
"Might I ask what is the matter that such a strong person like you has to talk about with me, a small monarch of a poor country?" T'Chaka with mufasa's voice makes Paul feel nostalgic.
"If you are poor then the world is penniless your majesty. I am just hear to talk about the future, please take a seat…" Paul gestured for the Kind to the table nearby and looked at the people following behind him. "…Queen Ramonda, Prince T'Challa and young Princess Shuri, glad to meet you all."
"How did you fly like that? Did you use anti-gravity technology? How did the world go dark for a minute? Can you really read minds? Who did you steal those paintings from?" Shuri bombarded Paul with a series of questions making the atmosphere inside a little less tense as her curiosity was quite infectious.
"Shuri." Ramonda pulled her daughter back as she was a bit scared of Paul with his display of powers earlier. Even in the history of Wakanda they had never found any who held such strength, the other contries might not be able to realize it but Wakanda can.
Their satellites were even better that the others so they knew how the various silos all over the world activated all at the same time. Also how no one seemed to have an idea in their general populace like the sky never got dark for a few seconds all over the world.
"Don't fault the young one your Majesty, I know she is just curious." Paul said as he sat on his seat facing the Royal family.
"I know you might be curious as to why I have invited you here your majesty." Paul said as he waved his hands making food float form the nearby buffet and land in front of the two young royalties. The Dora was shocked at this and wanted to take action but T'Chaka just waved his hand, something deep inside him felt that Paul meant no harm.
Paul also a shift in energies within the room and looked at the eyes of the current Black Panther where he can see a silhouette of a large black cat. He smiled and stood up making a bowing gesture to the King making those present surprised but his next words made them wide eyed.
"Greeting goddess Bast, it seems you are also curious about me since you are using the Black Panther's eyes to see and hear what transpires here." Paul smiled as he can see the others looking at the King who also seemed shocked as they never expected their Goddess to be gracing their King personally.
"You are not of this world…" these words came out of the King's mouth but his voice is vastly different making the Dora, the Queen, the prince and the princess shocked. They immediately kneeled in reverence with Shuri being confused why her father sounded weird.
"Did Baba have a sore throat brother?" Shuri whispered to her brother in confusion.
"Be quite Shuri, the goddess Bast has graced us in Father's body." T'Challa was shocked at his sister but he whispered for her to be quiet.
"I am not of this world, I came from a possible future and came here in hopes of making sure not the same shall happen to you reality." Paul focused his mind to not show any fluctuations as he knew gods like these have a way to know if one is lying or not.
"I see…" that was all Bast said and left giving back the control of the body to the current Black Panther.
"It seems we have gotten side tracked a bit, now let's discuss what is needed to be done." Paul said but the first to react was always Shuri as she forgot what just happened earlier as her mind locked on the fact that Paul was from the future.
"You came from the future? How advance was the science there? Were AI's popularized? Did we go to space?" the young girl was energetic even when the queen pulled her back to her seat.
"It seems that I must give proper respects to you Otherworlder, as our Goddess has said that the fate of Wakanda will prosper if we ally ourselves with you." T'Chaka's words made those present shocked as they had been still digesting the fact their goddess has descended on their King.
"It seems so, so I will not beat around the bush. As you might have speculated, I know about your country's real situation so please don't be alarmed even if I knew about the large mound of special metal under your mountain." Paul can see the Dora tightening their spears at his words. But just as he was about to continue, he picked up an info that just happened outside.
Tony Stark was abducted, Paul was silent for a few seconds as he thought that the world is still going on its course of starting the change of the world.
"Where was I? Oh yes, the large mound of metal under your mountain. Have you ever thought about the way meteorites fall from the sky?" Paul asked as he looked at the King.
"What is there to wonder, they go in flames and fall to the ground." T'Challa said but Shuri being a smart kid was able to put two and two together instantly.
"You mean a large part of Vibranium broke of and landed somewhere else?"
