PART 3
Chapter 3x2: We Are Managing
Earth-100792
As days passed it became harder and harder to keep hidden what happened to Arash not only to the people on the building but now even the rest of the nation, they have a system to keep a check on Arash the people that knew about him: Ervin, Razia, Farah, Tamina, Thor and even Strange have to come and check on him for a couple of minutes been the only doctor with knowledge of what happened to the King.
The "checkups team" was even extended to some people checking on him in the distance, Peter who check on him at least 2 hours after school and while he did his homework, Eddie who checked on him 1 hour and a half after work, Tony only could do it 1 hour while Bruce could help with 2 hours and finally Shuri and T'Challa had 1 hour and half together with the second one checking on just 30 minutes.
They were basically checking on the King for at last 18 hours a day only giving him a break of 5 hours between 1:00am and 7:00am, so everybody could sleep, even though they had a special alarm set on the room by Razia that could alert her and her husband or Farah and Tamina about a change on the vitals of the King that hasn't change at all even after coming back to Persia, by any means he still was dead.
Today Ervin had another meeting with the head of every department and also some Majors of the states including Valkyrie who came to represent New Asgard, even they were independent they still were a part of Persia in one way or another, things has been been crazy in the country after The Snap and the people located on Persépolis (the capital) and the cities around, some of the people that came back wanted their old homes back, while some of people that stayed were happy to go back to their old home, others were not in mood to leave their new homes.
"What about using the orphan homes that were created during The Snap?" – asked one of the people in the reunion – "after all the parents of those kids are back, so we could use the buildings to provide the new homes for those who can't go back to their old place because the new people in there don't want to move out" – he explained
"That sounds like a nice solution actually" – said Ervin – "don't think all of them would be happy about that, but at least they would have a place to live" – he said – "but what about the belongings of those people that came back?" - He asked
"We have a whole storage when we moved new people to their new homes during The Snap, each storage is labeled with the surname of the family so they can go to there and find their stuff" - explained a woman in the reunion
"Well, then I think it's settle, we can do that to fix that problem" – said Ervin
"I think we should ask King Arash to approve this idea" – said another man – "he was the one that build the orphan buildings, so we should ask his permission" – he added
"I think my nephew can agree with this being a nice solution, don't worry about that" – assured Ervin to the board
"When is the King gonna come back?" – asked another man
"Soon, he still needs to fix some things in America after the big fight he and the Avengers had with the being that is to blame for The Snap" – explained Ervin
"But we need him here" – said an old man entering the meeting
"I'm sorry Nizam, even if you are part of the royal family, it's rude that you just burst into our reunion like that" – nagged Ervin not to please with seeing the man
"I'm just here to celebrate the outcome of what the heroes did bringing everybody back, but without the King present I don't think we can do such thing and a lot of other things" – said Nizam as he found an empty seat to sit
"We can talk about that personally you and I after the meeting" – said Ervin keeping the stern tone to the old man – "in the meantime let's talk about production" – he continued
During the talk about the Economy he was explained that the capital and cities around need to work harder until the rest of the states can put in track their production again, thankfully Valkyrie assured that New Asgard will collaborate with the work as well now that more of their people have return as well.
The meeting felt like never ending, mostly because the unfriendly inputs of Nizam about things that irritate more and more the Prince each time passed by but he manage to keep the composure, but thankfully when the meeting hit the 8 hours it was finally dismissed and he walked to his office with Nizam following right behind him.
"That go well even without our nephew around" – said Nizam
"For what I know he kicked you out, don't make me do the same" – warned Ervin
"He can be a little too sensitive sometimes, you know it" – brushed off Nizam making the other man shot him an irritated look – "where is he anyway?" – He asked
"In America, he and the Avengers are still working some things" – said Ervin
"I would believe that if it wasn't because I found an overweight and poor taken care of Thor on Arash's floor" – said Nizam surprising the Prince – "If he was with them, shouldn't his Nordic boyfriend be with him" – he added
"He is here to help some things about New Asgard" – said Ervin
"Then why was that other woman representing New Asgard instead of him?" – Asked Nizam – "a better thing, why don't you just tell me what's going on instead of just keep going in circles" – he said with a smug on his face looking at his nephew
"We are managing" – said Ervin
"And what are you exactly managing nephew?" – asked Nizam
"Just know that we are, don't need to know anything more" – countered Ervin
"Ok then" – said Nizam turning to the door – "I'm gonna go and see Arash on the medical floor to see how he is at least if you are not gonna explain me what's wrong with him" – he said
"What?" – Asked Ervin surprised – "so you know...how?" – He asked confused
"Of course I know and how I know is not important" – answered Nizam – "the important thing is what are we gonna do about it? How long do you think you can keep that hidden from everybody?" – He asked – "I think you should have leave him in America and that Nordic God as well, that is gonna make people suspicious" – he added
"Nobody knows that he is here and he has been more help than you" – said Ervin
"Yeah sure he has been" – said Nizam with smug on his face – "Do you care to answer the questions you avoided now?" – He asked
"We are waiting for a change of his state, so we are gonna keep it hidden as long as is needed until we know for sure that he is either dead or alive" – explained Ervin
"So you don't even know that?" – Asked Nizam incredulously – "I don't think our nephew will enjoy the vegetable state if he was alive to tell us" – he stated – "and vegetable or not, I think we should make a statement about it Ervin" – he added
"No, we are not gonna make any kind of declaration, mostly when we don't know what's going on with him and that decision is final" – explained Ervin
"You are doing this for the kids aren't you?" – Asked Nizam
"They have already lost their parents, you want them to lose their brother as well?" Asked Ervin
"You are just avoiding the inevitable hiding the truth for them" – said Nizam
"And would that true be?" – Asked Ervin
"He is dead" – said Nizam – "take the ring of him and use it or give it to Dastan to start his training" – he explained
"Dastan is 4 years old, we can't train him to be a King yet and we can't take the ring from him" – said Ervin
"Is still attached to him?" – Asked Nizam surprised and confused
"Yes, nobody can't take it off, maybe the ring is still trying to heal him" – said Ervin – "the only weird thing is a scar on his arm that hasn't heal" – he added
"There should be a way to have the ring back, do you realize how vulnerable we are without someone to protect us?" – Stated Nizam
"Sadly for your amusement, I can't do nothing about it uncle" – said Ervin
"Is not for my amusement, is for protecting the country" – said Nizam
"Don't worry about it, I have that part cover" – said Ervin
"Sure with secretary/second hand superhero we have and a fat Nordic God former King of a place he couldn't save?" – Asked Nizam incredulously
"I said that I have it cover" – said Ervin when suddenly an alarm started to sound
The Prince click a button to make an hologram/screen appear on his desk where there was a broadcast on a town located in the state of Zagros where the emergency was taking place, both males could see a bunch of guys with their heads shaved, they were shirtless with some kind of white war paint all over their bodies, they had guns and fireshooters on their hands shooting at things around and burning stuff while laughing and yelling chants as people were either running or hiding.
"Well how convenient, I think this is the moment you can show me how you have this covered" – teased Nizam
"If you are not gonna help, then step back" – said Ervin while clicking another button on the panel of his desk – "Farah..." – he called to the other line
"Yes your highness" – answered Farah on the other side of the line
"Remember what we talked about before?" – Asked Ervin – "it's time" – he stated
A/N: So what do you guys think? They are really managing? Or everything is gonna get wrecked? How do you think Nizam knew about Arash's condition? And also what "it's time" for? You guys will know next chapter...just that one for the other questions it may take more time...or not...
