"Thor, can you please update us on the situations on these so-called other versions of Earth?" Nick Fury asked. He was one of the 10 people that were sitting in a conference room. 4 of those people were holograms, but the other 6 including Fury were actually present. Alex saw so familiar figures such as Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, and Doctor Strange also attending the eting.
"Sure." Jane agreed and leaned back into her chair, "As far as I can tell, this situation is unique to planet Earth. This cluster of 40 planets, including ours, consists solely of different versions of the Earth from across the multiverse. We have our own Earth, we have one that's a complete wasteland infested by mutant monsters, we have one that's in control of Hydra." Jane gave Fury a look.
She continued, "I'm not going to list out all of them. 20 planets don't have any real distinguishing features and are very similar. So of the planets are where there is almost no presence of enhanced individuals." Jane told them.
"I suggest we play aggressively. Invade them before they invade us. I don't think any of them have the capabilities to resist our technological might. We can start strategically—" Loki was interrupted by Jane.
"No." She didn't say anything more.
"But—" Loki tried to talk civilly.
"No." She looked at him with narrowed eyes, "Keep yourself in check, Loki?" Jane asked.
[You have to tell what dirt you have on Loki.] Alex said in Jane's mind with brimming curiosity.
Jane ignored Alex and kept looking at Loki until he gave in.
"Invading the planets has its rits," One of the people spoke.
"As Thor said, Alexander." Fury dismissed the notion, "No war, I will not be risking any of those 40 planets joining into a coalition to defeat us. I'm not even sure if we truly are superior. If those planets are counterparts of our own planet, then who's to say one of them doesn't have the sa technology as us, or sothing even greater."
"So we stay here like sitting ducks?" Alexander Pierce spoke.
"No, we'll get to the actual agenda of this eting instead of going through the sa debate we've been going through for months," Fury stated.
Alexander went silent and grunted.
"Gentleman," Fury addressed everyone in the room, "I present my proposal to unite the world through sothing greater than just the World Governnt." He nodded to an assistant who was sitting in and he handed everyone a set of so docunts. Those who weren't physically present were presented with soft copies.
Fury's speech continued as the attendants of the eting started skimming through the contents, "In the scenario where we are invaded by another of the planets, we must have enough resources. My proposal is to establish a new organization that will be equivalent to Shield and the UN. They will have full discretion and authority over all resources in the world and their function will be completely autonomous allowing them to have greater authority than even Shield."
Fury started talking about the intricacies of his Illuminati project. Alex was extrely interested in the system that the man had co up with, 'Say what you want about Fury, he's got balls…' He couldn't help but think as he heard the details of the proposal.
The Illuminati will essentially have similar authority that Alex has over the Earth in his Farm and Research Earths. They can enter any country they want and demand any necessary resources. It was the establishnt of a truly autonomous force that was essentially in control of the entire world.
"This kind of power…" One of the people who weren't present started after Fury was done, "It's too much to hand to a single organization. They can destroy the entire world if they want… I an who even will be the person in charge of this Illuminati that you speak of?"
"I have just the person in mind for that." Fury said as he glanced at Steve, "We are all familiar with Captain Rogers' conduct." He started selling Steve as the leader of the Illuminati.
'Those guys are already on board…' Alex realized, 'And even Jane…'
Fury had already told most of the people in the room about his plan. It was just the official execution that remained.
[So what's the first order of business for the Illuminati?] Alex asked Jane.
[How do you know that this is even going to be approved?] She asked him back.
[Is it not? I'm sure Fury already talked to everyone in this room. With just two people opposing it, I doubt Illuminati can be stopped.] Alex said as a matter of fact.
[You're right. As for the first order of business for the Illuminati. We'll be creating an escape plan. A ship if you will, one large enough to transport most if not all of the people on the planet.] She told him.
[Invest in a teleporter instead. I'm sure you can get the tech from one of the alien civilizations.] Alex said.
[Can't work.] Jane said, [We've already looked over that possibility, but it can't be done with the resources we have available. I could even use the Bifrost. But it's not enough for billions.] She said.
[Then convert Earth itself into a huge spaceship, a Death Star, if you will.] Alex said.
[The Death Star would take the resources of multiple solar systems to build. A single planet the size of Earth is far from enough.] Jane said calmly. It seed they had exhausted all other possibilities.
[Spaceship it is then. Though it's impossible to carry 7 to 8 billion people on any kind of spaceship.] Alex said.
[That's why we have Stark and Richards working together.] She said.
[Impossible.] Alex conveyed his most accurate Thanos impression.
A tiny smile graced Jane's lips and she didn't reply to his words.
The talks continued for the next few hours. It was clear that the Illuminati project was already green, but the talks still took half the day.
[Such is the problem of bureaucracy…] Alex lanted.
[Honestly…] Jane's tone was full of exhaustion.
…
After the eting.
[Are you going to be participating in the day-to-day work of the Illuminati?] Alex asked her.
[Hell no.] Jane said with disgust.
[Good. Then let's explore so of the other Earths. I want to see how strong you really are.] He said.
[No, I don't want to fight.] Jane refused.
[Then let's infiltrate into another earth and get so information. I can make you look like anyone.] Alex offered.
Jane's eyes glittered with interest, [Too troubleso.] She still refused.
[I swear to fucking god…] Alex got annoyed, [I will turn into a big tentacle monster and fuck you so hard that your brain lts if you keep refusing to do anything.] He was fed up.
Jane felt a shiver run down her spine when she heard his words, [Fine fine…] She grumbled.
[That's the spirit.] Alex said with an obliviously cheery voice as if he hadn't just threatened her, [Are you interested in fighting sothing?]
[I guess. The shitty eting wasn't exactly stimulating, I wouldn't mind a nice brawl…] She said with an expectant look and quickly flew up to the moon before taking up a fighting stance, "On with it then." She said. Though only her lips moved and no sound ca out. She wanted to fight him.
[Not , dumbass…] Alex said annoyedly, [I'll lead you to the Earth that has the perfect abomination for you to fight.] He told her.
Jane furrowed her brows, [Are you talking about that apocalyptic Earth that has those mutated monsters?] She asked.
[Yep, there's a perfect monster for you to fight there.] He told her.
Jane didn't respond and instead narrowed her eyes, [How do you know that?] She asked him suspiciously.
[Hive mind, babe. You may not realize, but almost every earth has a variant of the Venom symbiote. It's part of the continuity of the Earth.] Alex told her.
[You sound like a douche when you call babe like that.] Jane told him before summoning the Bifrost. The rainbow bridge fell on top of her and brought her from the moon of her Earth to Earth-Z.
She appeared in the middle of the wasteland and asked, "Where to?"
[That way.] Alex pointed, [Can you use magic to sense things?] He asked. He didn't know her capabilities and needed to know if she would be able to see the Blood Dos that surrounded the nests of the Abominations.
He quickly led Jane to the nest that he and Laura had first encountered. Ever since he'd gotten Cindy's ‹True Sixth Sense› he'd had a very bad feeling about this specific nest.
Even after scouting the other nests, Alex felt that this was the most dangerous.
Laura was currently enjoying her ti in the new ho that she and Alex had found. They occasionally went out to hunt so abominations for fun, but they were mostly enjoying their ti together while training and getting stronger.
[I'm not very good at it.] Jane told him as she looked around the horizon while flying in the direction Alex directed her. She noticed only two cities left in the entirety of the North Arican continent, "What happened in this place…" She thought.
[Didn't you check this place out when you first scouted it?] Alex asked her.
[It was just an overview… I didn't actually check things out.] She told him.
[You're in for a surprise then…] Alex kept leading her to the nest.
