A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1009: Elizabeth Winters

Archer watched as a woman with light brown hair and emerald green eyes approached him with a severe expression. She stopped in front of him before speaking in a respectful tone, "Hello, Mr Bennett. Can I have an hour of your time to speak?"

His eyebrow raised in suspicion, causing the woman to continue, "It's about the monsters you fought. We've had many problems with them, and seeing you deal with them is shocking, to be honest."

"Those Chthulu-looking things? Where did they come from?" he questioned.

This caused the woman to smile as she motioned for the entrance, but Archer commented, "Why did your jets attack me? I'm lucky I'm a monster, as Ava claims."

When the stranger heard this, her green eyes landed on the agent, who gulped as she explained, "The whole government is split on what to do with him, ma'am. He isn't human, and you know this."

Archer watched the brown-haired woman sigh before speaking in a fed-up tone, "Yeah, but you know the attacks worldwide have increased tenfold in the last year, and we can cover it up anymore."

He nodded again before speaking, "I'm guessing those monsters just want to cause chaos?"

"I'll tell you everything once we sit down, but it's getting cold, so let's head inside," the strange woman replied.

They entered the mansion, which enveloped them in warmth and comfort. The woman gestured toward a plush seat, and Archer sat down, settling in as she introduced herself. "I'm Elizabeth Winters, President of the United States. And I've brought you here because I need your help."

Archers' eyebrow raised in surprise, as this was a pleasant surprise. He shook his head and replied with a grin, "That won't be cheap, Liza. It will cost quite a bit."

He watched as Elizabeth just stared at him before speaking, "Obviously. What would you like?"

Without wasting a second, he pointed at Ava, "I want her to be my bodyguard while I'm on Earth."

The President looked confused, but Archer explained, "She can help me out while I'm here, and she hates me, which intrigues me."

Elizabeth giggled before asking, "She had grown to hate the monsters that keep attacking the world, and no offense, but I can see you're not human. Your eyes are a dead giveaway as they remind me of a predator."

Archer chuckled when hearing this and nodded while speaking, "I guess you want me to deal with these monsters that are attacking the world?"

"Yes, and we can pay you two million dollars per attack and give you a penthouse apartment in New York for the meetings," Elizabeth revealed.

He was unfazed but asked, with a knowing grin that shocked women, "'I want all that plus a date with you, Miss President. At least I can tell the others I took the commander-in-chief out for a beer and burger."'

The older woman stared at him in bafflement, but before she could respond, Ava interjected, her tone laced with hate and disgust, "Why are you flirting with the leader of the free world?"

Archer turned toward the dark-haired agent, meeting her glare with a calm, almost playful expression. His response was blunt, catching her completely off guard, "Because she's hot, smart, and I can't help but notice how she keeps looking at me like she wants to devour me." Elizabeth started giggling, shocking Ava, but the brunette waved away. "Don't worry about it, Ava. The young man is refreshing. It's not everyday that someone flirts so openly with me, after all they are intimidated by my status."

The black-haired agent reluctantly nodded before keeping quiet as Archer spoke in a curious tone: "What are you calling these monsters, and do you know where they're coming from?"

"We call them the Deep Ones; they come from the Mariana Trench, where monsters roam and attack anything that gets close," Elizabeth answered while taking out a file and handing it to him.

Archer's eyes opened in shock before he thought, 'Are they connected? No that would be impossible.'

He shook his head while asking, "Do they attack often?"

"No. Three times a month, sometimes less, but they have killed countless people," Ava was the one to explain, "They are vicious creatures who show no mercy to anyone."

The two women continued speaking but soon noticed Archer was silent. Elizabeth asked in a worried tone, "What's wrong? It seems like you're familiar with all this."

"Well, I am because I've been fighting similar monsters since I was a young boy, but they can't be here," Archer revealed.

Shortly after that, Elizabeth turned to Ava and spoke, "Can you get the kitchen to whip up a pot of coffee, please? I want to talk more."

The angry-looking woman nodded before leaving the room, and Archer spoke knowingly: "The attacks will increase unless they know they will lose too much. So it looks like you need my help more than you admit."

Elizabeth laughed as she answered honestly, "You're right. We are losing too much fighting, and the country can't defend the whole world and our allies."

Archer's smile grew wider as he spoke, "So I'm a rare commodity that the world will bid to help them with the Deep Ones?"

"Pretty much, but you ended up between the US and the UK, which already knows of your presence," she revealed. "Thanks to whatever you use to travel, they couldn't capture you, which is a bad idea."

He started laughing when he heard this, just as Ava walked in, followed by a kitchen staff member holding a coffee tray. The black-haired agent gave him a dirty look, which made him

chuckle.

"This woman hates me,' he thought with a chuckle.

The staff member put a coffee on the table in front of him. Archer thanked the woman before she left the room, and Elizabeth continued speaking, "The world is waking up to the Deep One's threat as commentators on the internet have been talking about it the last few

months."

Archer nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is there any pattern to the attacks?"

Elizabeth shook her head, handing him a file. "No, they're completely random. At best, we get an hour's notice to prepare."

Following that, he started reading through the papers and realized the monsters were twisted versions of monsters he recognized. Archer became extremely concerned before sending

Maeve a message.

[My love. Can you come to me quickly? I want to show you something]

The orange-haired woman nodded in agreement, and he responded while casting Gate. A violet portal materialized in the room, startling Elizabeth. Ava quickly drew her gun and aimed it at him, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

He warned with a low, threatening growl, "Lower that weapon, or you'll regret it."

As Archer finished speaking, Maeve stepped through the portal. She smiled upon seeing him, but her expression shifted to concern as he handed her a file. "Isn't this the same Swarm that's been attacking us back home?" he asked.

Maeve flipped through the pages, her eyes widening in shock. "Are they here, husband? How is that even possible?"

He shrugged, speculating, "They must have a powerful space mage on their side. But why would they target a non-magic world?"

"Isn't that obvious, darling? They are using Earth to gather soldiers for their armies, which means they are probably on other worlds gathering a force to destroy you," Meave explained while looking at the pictures of the Swarm Titans.

'Makes sense that they hate me that much; I've killed thousands of their people and destroyed dozens of fortresses,' he thought with a grin.

Archer looked confused, causing her to giggle as she explained, "Rumors speak of you being the Swarm's number one target. Aisha said the spies in the Novgorod Empire said the Terravians that have been spotted have a particular hatred for you."

He started laughing, but Elizabeth spoke concernedly, "You were telling the truth about

fighting them before?"

Archer opened his mouth to respond, but Maeve spoke first, her voice filled with pride. "My husband has thwarted every one of their attacks, saving an entire continent so vast it could fit all of Earth's within it and still have room to spare."

Elizabeth and Ava exchanged stunned looks before turning their gaze to Archer. The president was about to say something when an alarm suddenly blared through the room, cutting her off. She snatched up the phone, tension tightening her grip. Her green eyes locked onto Archer as the voice on the other end spoke. "A monster is headed for London," she said, her voice trembling with urgency. "It's already destroyed several ships and planes. If you agree to help, I'll give you anything-whatever you want. t."

Maeve chuckled darkly, her eyes gleaming with mischief as she warned the older woman with a smirk. "Careful what you wish for, sister. Archer has a soft spot for mature women like you, and now that you've offered him anything, you're his now."

Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock at the implication, and Ava started to protest. But before either could react, Archer vanished from the room using Blink outside, unfurling his wings as

Maeve quickly joined him.
