Alex's POV

"Alex thanks for everything," said Rogue

"Naah. It's okay! I also had fun today." I replied to Rogue

I and Rogue are currently in a park, sitting quietly on a bench as we take a break. We just finish shopping and although it did tire the hell out of me overall, I had fun so all is good.

"You know ever since my Family died and I started living with my Aunt, I never really had a real family ever since and add to the fact that my aunt hates me for being a mutant drove me almost to my breaking point but since meeting you and Athena, my life has never been better, both the two of you really treated me like a family so thank you for that Alex." Mutant discrimination really is the stupidest thing to ever happen to humankind. Just because someone has extra ability doesn't mean they are Alien to humans and add to the fact that they always abuse mutants who are defenseless, I'm not even surprised that the Brotherhood was formed, but it doesn't mean that I will support them for hurting innocent people.

Mostly in this situation, those mutants who have deformities but no added powers are always the ones who get the short end of the stick.

I really wanted to do something about it but if I really wanted to have a long-lasting effect then I needed to turn the government into my puppet to push more laws on equality and also maybe put some safeguards to prevent the civil war event.

I still don't have any visible plan, but getting the company started and turning it into one of the most irreplaceable companies in the whole world is a start though I could use the public... no, it's too inefficient.

Today's day and age, people don't really understand that those who control the economy can easily manipulate the government same as technology and information. If a person has a solid grasp in those sectors then they can literally control the whole country and if that country happens to be the major importer and exporter of goods as well as one of the most powerful countries in the whole world then they will have the world in the palm of their hands.

Simple world domination technique 101, those supervillains don't know jack shit about how to dominate the world and as for Charles. OH MY GOD, HIS SO GODDAMN STUPID FOR FUCK SAKE! If he'd use Cerebro to implant on the minds of every people the Ideas of peace then world peace would have already happened and it's not about morality or the question of free will, it's just planting suggestion nothing more nothing less! Argh! That really irritates me the most!

"Uhm...Alex? You still there?" I was brought out from my rambling by Rogue, who was currently tilting her head at me.

"You really do space out a lot Alex. Athena told me about it but I didn't really believe it at first but you really do space out a lot," Rogue said, which embarrass me quite a bit.

I replied saying "I-I have too much in my mind lately so I'm sorry" scratching the back of my head, I continued "so what were you talking about again?"

Rogue sighed and said "You want some Ice cream? I'll get you one if you like?" I just nodded and watch Rogue go. I sighed and said "What kind of diety dresses like that?" Turning to my backside, I saw a gorgeous woman on a tracksuit.

The woman has black eyes and long black hair, the woman was in glasses and also wore a baseball cap that prevents her feature from being discovered.

"This is what celebrity wears every time they go out so I'm just following their trend and besides you already know the reason" the diety smirk as I just sighed and replied "So? Who are you supposed to be?"

"Oh, I forgot! I'm death nice too meet you, Alexander" my eyes threatened to pop out off my eyeball but I manage to calm myself down and respond "ahh..and to what honor do I get to get visited by death herself? I'm pretty sure I still got a hundred years on me"

Death sat down next to me and said "No nothing like that, we were just curious to know who this dimensional travel that father said to not touch even the fate sisters tried to argue with father to tie you up."

"I must really give my thanks to the god of this multiverse then," I said, "But I don't think you'd go out of your way here just to meet me now don't you?"

Death just smirk and replied "Oh nothing like that! I'm just here to observe.....and maybe help a few sods to pass on"

Death then turns towards a family of 3 who was having fun just a few meters away from them and smiled bitterly.

"Sigh....so young yet...I hope you'll pass on little one." Death muttered which I obviously heard as I turn towards the family and I can't help but clench my fist as I now know what she meant.

Someway or another the kid and her family's going to die and Death already stated it. I wanted to move and maybe do something but I don't know how to approach them. I can't just say that 'Hey you three are going to die and Death already told me about it so I'm here to warn you', I can't do that! They'll call the police on me before I could mutter a 'wait!'.

A van came in and pulled over near the family as peoples with guns came out and pointed it to the father of the family, the mother pulled her daughter closely as she tries to cover her with her body.

The father begged the others to not include his family and that he would go with them without resisting. A man with a gun punch the father and grab hold of the daughter as he threatened to shoot her.

"Don't interfere, Alexander, Destiny wrote them off to die, you can't argue with Destiny" It seems like Death notice my thoughts and warn me.

"Then why did you let me know?!" I snap. This feeling of helplessness really piss me off, I continued "I know you purposely let me know their fates so why stop me now? Is this some kind of sick joke you wanted to play! Is this another entertainment!"

All those years I've spent in hell, I saw my friends fall one by one, as they become food for the plague or hunted by the legionnaires. I watch how they sacrifice their life and family for me to escape, their family being tortured for information and yet when I came back to their broken bodies, they just smiled and said that I should move on, as they die with a smile on their face. I don't want to feel helpless again! I don't want to watch another meaningless death when I can do something about it!

"You can't Alex and it's not for my entertainment, Destiny already wrote them off and you can't do a thing about it. Mortals are bound by the laws and they must obey the law." Death said. She then continued "beside what's your excuse? It's not like you know them directly and they aren't someone important to you, so why? It's not worth it to anger an entity for a person you barely knew".

"I-I...." I can't formulate a word. She's right in all sense and I don't even know them so why? Why do I have to move? Why?

*****

"D-Diana! P-please...don't leave me"

*****

"I'm sorry for being weak my love....I-I should have ...become stronger for...us and....for our family..."

*****

Light flared in my eyes as I stand up "No...I won't let destiny take hold of my life again..fuck destiny...I'm going write my own thing!"

I run as fast as I can as saw the mother of the child grab one of the guns to try and save her daughter. I run and close the distance and with the flick of my wrist blade, I eliminate the man holding the gun and move towards the other 4 to do the same. All my movements were not as fluid as I use to because I wasn't thinking with rational thoughts.

I have a breath of relief as I eliminated the last gunman before the surroundings suddenly shifted, I found myself again on the bench with Death looking at me with amusement.

"well...That was quite amusing" Death smiled as she continued "even with the possibility of opposing one of the entity, you still choose to save the family. Now I understand why the other me seems fascinated with you, So pure and noble."

"W-what was that!?" I shouted but then I realize, It was all an illusion...Death played me... "why did you do that!" I said now with a venomous tone.

She merely chuckled and said, "To test you of course...and I must say I wasn't disappointed, Alexander." Deciding to leave she stand-up and said " well it seems like time's up" she then looks at the approaching Rogue from the distance and turn to leave.

"I'll be watching you from now on Alexander"

Alex also looks at the approaching Rogue but then turn back to Death when he heard her speak but she already disappeared.

"Damn it!" Muttered Alex as Rogue came up to him with Ice Creams. She said, "so what did I miss?"

Alex once again looks at where Death was, earlier and replied to Rogue "Nothing....come on give me that Ice Cream."

At Death's realm, Death sat on her throne as she observes Alex eating an Ice cream with Rogue. She purred and said "How Cute...The other me truly choose someone worthy."

Then she felt something that made her frown "Annoying...more paperwork" she said but didn't do anything as she just continued watching Alex interact with Rogue.

******

An angry roar bellowed in a spacecraft at the edge of the universe.

"She didn't even bat an eye at my sacrifice! She's distracted! Maw! Produce more Sacrifice!" Bellowed the Purple giant as he slams his large arms into his throne.

"Soon I'll be her equal......and once I got my hands on the stone....she'll be mine!" He once again bellowed as he slammed his fist on the throne once more.

******

Alex stiffened as his senses once again tingle. Rogue who notice it ask him what it is.

His only reply was "I feel like I unintentionally entered a love triangle Cliche"

Rogue tilted her head and thought it may be one of the quirks Athena told her about
