Hidden moves

All came running by hearing the commotion from another room. When they arrived, everybody didn't expect to see such a gory scene with blood splattered everywhere. When they all saw the missing body of Dr. Doom, all came to realise that he was killed.

"You are responsible for all the deaths and destruction that is happening on Earth. And now you blame another person for your own wrongdoing. You are nothing but an egotistical maniac. Too much power has corrupted you and now just because we can't do anything to you, we are being bullied." Reed said as he accused John.

"You reach that conclusion just because I killed Dr. Doom?" John asked as he gave all a smile.

"Of course. You have all the characteristics of a tyrant."

By then the 616-Avengers and the John's Avengers were separated from each other, showing who took whose side. Though the Avengers didn't understand why he killed Dr. Doom, the Avengers supported him. Moreover, he deserved nothing but death penalty for all the war crimes he committed.

"At least I am not a fraud like you." John said.

"Who are you calling fraud? We are legitimate superheroes of the Earth. Sure, we did a little bit of politics along the way but the people of Earth didn't deserve the trauma you have put us through." Scott Lang, the Ant-man said.

"Who among you think what I did was responsible for whatever happened in the absence of Avengers?" John asked the 616-Avengers. There was a complete silence when John asked that. In the end many feared him and they didn't want to suffer more in his hands.

After a moment of complete silence many raised their hands. Scott Lang. Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, Elektra were few of the ones to raise their hands.

"Che.. You gave them their powers back but still they are so ungrateful." Arthur said in a low voice.

"It was our power to begin with. It is our right on how we use it. At least we don't bring deaths to people like your super friend here." Elektra said in a sharp tone. Arthur listening to this was almost ready to throw his trident on her but Mera stopped it.

John, on the other hand, was still silent and just looked at Reed. Reed managed to polarise his own team into two camps. One that felt guilty and was afraid of retaliation from John and another who hated John and his team. They felt humiliated and insulted to be in the same room as the Avengers of John.

"Sigh, you know Kl'rt, the last time I met one of your species I annihilated them and I specifically asked them to be away from Earth. Seems like your communication between subordinates is very shallow." John said looking at Reed.

Reed squinted his eyes when John called him Kl'rt. It was because Kl'rt was his actual name.

A Skrull.

A super Skrull, who had infiltrated into the Avengers in order to take over Earth. When John met Skrulls last time he warned them to stop their advance and take over Earth. When the 616-Avengers came for the meeting John could already see that many of them were deviants-Skrulls.

The Skrulls didn't have the actual intel on John so they had no idea who he was and what exactly was his power. The mishap in that barren planet was overlooked by both Kree and Skrulls. The Super Skrulls had replaced many members of the Avengers by this point and the actual Avengers were thrown to prison with maximum security in many different bases.

"What? Don't want to say anything against me calling you Kl'rt? Do you want me to annihilate all of the Skrulls that are present in the room, to jog your memory through the war of Kree vs Skrull?" John continued.

In response, Reed took out a futuristic looking gun from his pocket and pointed at John. Many other Avengers did the same thing and pointed their guns which looked the same as Reed's.

The rest of the 616-Avengers were surprised by the sudden change of situation where they saw their own friends pointing guns at them. They were confused because only a few people knew of the Skrulls. The few people here are0000 the Illuminati.

"You are Skrulls? I thought we specifically warned you not to mess with us." 616-Tony said as he equipped himself with armor. Seeing that guns were being pointed at them the Avengers who were not Skrulls also took defensive poses to confront these 'fake' friends.

Though they had no idea what was going on, since they took up arms, the real ones needed to retaliate.

"I didn't think that you were that powerful. Even though we heard the rumors, seeing is believing I guess." Kl'rt said as all the Skrulls turned themselves into their original faces
