The world changed rapidly.
The Avengers became global icons overnight. The media couldn't get enough of them. TV networks sent interview requests every week—offers, talk shows, public ceremonies, even political endorsements.
But only one Avenger said yes.
Steve Rogers.
While Tony, Natasha, Banner, and Barton all rejected the spotlight—too busy, too private, or simply uninterested—Steve felt compelled to appear. His pride grew with every camera flash, every handshake, every "living legend" comment.
Until the interview that changed everything.
The Interview That Destroyed Steve's Image
A popular talk show host asked a simple ethical question:
"If two people were on the verge of death—
one an old politician with power…
and the other a child with no influence—
who would you save?"
Steve answered confidently:
"The old man with political power."
The host blinked.
The audience murmured.
"Why?" the host asked. "A child has a whole life ahead. Why save someone who may die any day?"
Steve, smug and oblivious, simply stated:
"Because political power matters.
The child doesn't."
A dead silence spread across the studio.
The internet erupted.
News channels roasted him.
Children stopped idolizing him.
Fan clubs collapsed.
Parents denounced him.
Steve's fame didn't just dip—it collapsed.
Even the Avengers didn't defend him.
They simply continued their lives, already tired of his arrogance.
Maria Hill Joins Roy's Family
During this time, Roy's life grew brighter.
Maria Hill—professional, loyal, sharp as a blade—had grown closer to Roy ever since he saved her, ever since she saw the chains of sacrifice covering his back, and ever since their quiet rooftop lunch.
Four months after New York, she stood with Roy in his mansion's garden.
Roy extended his hand, a silver-gold aura swirling around him.
"Maria Hill."
"Do you wish to walk beside me—not as Director, not as soldier—but as my wife?
To stand eternal and powerful, not as someone who follows, but as someone equal?"**
Maria swallowed hard, eyes trembling.
"Y–Yes… yes, Roy."
The blessing burst into existence.
Maria Hill's New Bloodline
Name:Celestial Strategic Dragon Empress
Cosmic Rank:Sub–Heavenly Father Level
Her body glowed with draconic constellations and celestial sigils.
Wings of white-blue cosmic flame unfurled behind her before merging back inside.
Her new abilities awakened:
• Imperial Celestial Mind – absolute clarity, immunity to mental assault
• Dragon Empress Command Aura – all lower cosmic entities bow instinctively
• Chrono-Law Manipulation – control of time principles
• Celestial Dominion – Stellaris Court – summons a cosmic tribunal
• Dragon Crest of Judgment – destroys corruption with divine authority
• Lawfire Dragon Ascension – heat of collapsing stars, power of laws
Overwhelmed, she trembled.
Roy gently slid a suppression ring onto her finger—bringing her power down to surface level.
But the ring was also a marriage bond.
Maria gasped.
Then, without hesitation, she threw her arms around Roy, burying her face into his chest. Tears fell—of joy, of relief, of finally belonging.
Roy's women welcomed her warmly:
Grayfia, Velgrynd, Velzard, Scáthach, Sif, Hela, Amora, Lorelai, Death, Infinity, Natasha.
There was laughter.
Celebration.
Wine.
Sisterhood.
Maria Hill, once a soldier with no personal life, was now a wife of a cosmic emperor—and a woman who would never again be powerless.
Loki's Redemption Arc
Back in Asgard, Loki faced judgment.
Odin sentenced him to house arrest for several years, not imprisonment.
This shocked many—but Loki accepted it humbly.
He apologized to Odin.
He apologized to Frigga.
He even lowered his head when Roy walked into the palace.
Roy placed a hand on Loki's shoulder.
"You're still family, Loki."
Loki smirked softly.
"Don't say that sentimentally, brother. You're ruining my villain reputation."
The two then shared wine on the balcony, laughing like children again.
And then… chaos.
Loki + Roy + Pranks = Thor's Nightmare
From dyeing Thor's cape pink
to enchanting Mjölnir to sing Asgardian lullabies
to making Thor think his beard disappeared—
Thor roared:
"ROY! LOKI! YOU TWO LITTLE—!"
Roy and Loki simply clinked their glasses and teleported away.
Frigga laughed herself breathless.
Even Odin grumbled but hid a smile behind his hand.
The brothers had reunited.
The family was healing.
And Roy was at the center of it—holding everything together.
