Kennedy froze in his place at that instant. "I-I tried to stop them, Mister President. I just didn't have the majority in Congress anymore. All these things were done at the end of President Bradley and under the current administration. They were going to launch operations on Iran and Pakistan as well, but I stopped them."

"Pakistan? I remember ending the Partition of India and Pakistan on good terms. They were even economic friends. Why would we attack them?" Hector questioned.

"Because of 9-11. The intelligence revealed that Osama hides in the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan. But Pakistan's military has refused to allow the US military to enter their land. Pakistan doesn't want anything to do with the Middle East. As they say, it will make them the target of extremist organisations and ruin all the development they have achieved." Kennedy explained to him in detail.

He brought forward the file from his luggage and showed it to him, "I knew you would drill my ass about all this, so I was preparing the names of all the sinners."

But Hector didn't look, "9-11? What 9-11? What happened?"

Kennedy explained everything: "That... On September 11 of 2001, two Air Force jet pilots went rogue from a nearby military exercise in the Atlantic. They were loaded and armed. With no warning, they sent four missiles into the twin towers, destroying them in the process. Thankfully, the X-Men came to the rescue and saved nearly everyone.

"The planes then flew in different directions. One tried to crash onto the White House but got shot down by the automated security system. The other one crashed on the Pentagon. The country was shaken by that."

*Sigh* "That fucking fat butterfly." Hector cursed, confusing Kennedy. He could only hope that his policies didn't mess up the country more than help it.

"And it was Osama who did it? But why did Al Qaeda attack us? I had told you not to enter Afghanistan."

Kennedy shook his head quickly, "No no, it was not the Al Qaeda. Who even are they? No, that's just a made-up name. The real name of the terrorist organisation is Ten Rings. They want nothing but more violence around the world as that's good for business. The real Afghan people love America, not anymore though since we sent troops."

Hector fell into deep thinking. He had heard about the name of this super bad organisation. It was supposed to be related to some sort of artefact. But he had no idea who ran it, "You got information about it?" [A/N: Remember, Hector died before these movies came out.]

"No, but the Pentagon does. They know a lot about Osama and the Ten Rings, but they refuse to take action, as straight-up killing the target is not that profitable. They did the same with Iraq, and they will do that with Libya now. I hate the current administration, but I have no mind-controlling powers,"

Hector patted Kennedy's shoulder, "It's okay, boy. You tried your best. But don't worry, I'm here now. I will deal with everything. From the administration to Ten Rings. Did my social and economic reforms do well?"

This time Kennedy grinned big. But just then, Diana disturbed them as she brought him some letter, "A man by the name of Happy dropped this outside,"

Hector put it to the side and allowed Kennedy to continue, "Go on, boy."

"Well, Natives are happy. The non-white population is happy. The white population is happy too, since, with your policies, the economic gap was reduced between communities. The advantage that one used to get just from belonging to a wealthy family is not big anymore. Now, we are slowly moving towards a nearly equal status.

"The police are good since they get longer training. The guns are in the right hands, there are still a few accidents, but they are limited and rare. Your policies were a hit, old man,"

Hector couldn't help but bring out a smile. He didn't ask and poured himself a glass of whiskey from the wall cabinet, "Your father said similar things to me before the Vietnam War.

"Kid, I do what I wish to do. It's you who should learn a lesson. You are so tiny to me that I can't even bother to take you seriously at this point. So conceited and arrogant. You're like a fish who can't see beyond the pond. So, while you're on your high horse, don't be blind and look around at the trail of blood you left behind."

"You know, millions died in the air raids on Europe, Tokyo and other Japanese cities on your orders. You are not the good old man you try to show yourself as. You can fool the world, not me." Tony barked back in a taunting voice, arms stretched wide open as if he was the king of the world.

Hector sighed, wondering if this Tony would ever get on the right path. But again, his kidnapping was yet to happen, "You still don't understand your weapons, their power and effect, kid. World War II was something we didn't start, but we had to enter. But we can't say the same about these recent ones, can we? Good night. May the god of brains grant you some, and the goddess of fertility castrate you,"

"Don't tell me I didn't warn you tomorrow when you watch the news," Tony barked.

Hector saw Pepper walk in as he left. "Oh, hey there, dear. Your boss is so dumb,"

She looked amazed, "Tony! Who was that? He looked so real."

"Nothing, just a lunatic. What is on my schedule today, miss Potts?"

"You have a meeting with your board and an interview with CBNS NEWS," she read from the notes.

"Ah, that hot anchor, right? Cross everything other than the interview."

...

Outside, Hector got into his SUV.

"Where to now, pres?" Logan asked from the driver's seat. Kennedy was also there, sitting in the backseat with Hector.

"SHIELD headquarters,"
