New host

Before they left John invited them for a feast so that all the members of Avengers, Teen Titans and the Guardians of the Galaxy could have proper conersations and connections with each other. This was where everybody got to know that Gamora was the adopted daughter of Mad Titan, which John had mentioned long ago.

Tony and others got interested and asked her about her father and then they shuddered when she told the whole story of Thanos, him being obsessed with killing half the population of the universe using the infinity stone.

"You knew about him long ago. Didn't you? Even during the New York War." Banner asked.

"Yes. I knew. But I let it happen because we weren't powerful enough then to change the machinations of him, but now we are. He will come for us and we will beat him so hard that he would never even dare to set foot or think of that plan." John said.

"We can go now and just kill him." Tony said. John shook his head as Thanos would give him more fan values and he wasn't sure how he was related to the Eternals. Only after he was clear he would make his move against him.

"No. We will move against him when the time is right." John said.

"Are you afraid of him?" Wayne asked.

"Afraid? No. I want to delve deep into his history which I don't have access to now. His history isn't so simple." John said.

"Alright after you use your dreamy powers on him, we blast him away. Man, today was a rough day for being a father." Tony said.

"Tony when are you getting married?" John suddenly asked as it was this year he was supposed to get married with Pepper.

"You are too young to even ask me this question kid." Tony said.

"You should propose to Pepper before it's too late." John insisted.

"You are the last person to say that." Tony grumbled.

"So ummm... How are you all going to defeat this Black Winter if you all even thinking of confronting it." Rocket inserted himself in the conversation and directly changing the topic.

"We will handle it in due time." John replied.

"Glad that you are taking up arms against it." Quill said as he too heard about the Black Winter from Groot and this scared him. Even though the Lantern Corps were actively deployed to defend against it, the whole thing of devouring the universe was too scary.

They talked more about the Black Winter and it's whole history behind it. They were surprised to know that there were so many things behind the whole problem of Black Winter.

"So where will you be going next?" John asked in order elevate the mood which the topic of Black Winter caused. The whole team would still go silent when the topic Black Winter came up and had looks of fear in their eyes.

"We got a mission from the Sovereign race on completion of which Nebula would be handed over to us." Rocket said.

"Sovereign Race.... Adam Warlock...." John mumbled.

"What did you say?" Rocket asked after John mumbled silently.

"Nothing. That's a good mission. You can take the Teen Titans in this... Oh yes ... Don't steal their batteries no matter what, otherwise they will hunt you down." John reminded. As in original story they stole the batteries which caused a whole new chase.

"Batteries? Why will we steal batteries?" Rocket asked.

"You will do anything to get profit." John retorted back. Rocket shrugged at it. After finishing the meal, the Guardians of the Galaxy left with FOA with the Teen Titans. Rocket was pumped up after getting the whole ship of FOA which was huge and was even alive. He couldn't wait to pilot this ship.

Everybody bid them goodbyes and Victor opened the boom tube for all of them to return back to the Ring but as they were getting ready to step inside the portal, a huge blue bird appeared on the sky.

"Huh..?"

Before anybody could react, the bird turned into light and directly entered the body of Natasha. Tony and others who had no idea what just happened switched on their gears and were in defensive mode. Only Hal and John didn't have any reaction instead had a smile on their faces.

Natasha levitated in air for a few seconds, before falling down on her knees. And then she stood up but now her eyes looked blue in color.

"How was the power up Natasha?" John asked.

"Like I can have a whole round of fight against you all." Natasha said.

"What is going on?" Tony asked.

"She became the host of Adara, the embodiment of Blue Lantern. From now we have a new Blue Lantern in our team." John said.

"
