Going to the Wall (4)

After an hour of wait Lucifer was finally here but he came with Chloe. She had never been to the Ring and had never seen the famous Hall of Justice so she wanted to have a look. Lucifer teleported with her to the Ring.

She had sparkling eyes when she looked around, fascinated by what she saw. She got to see even the team that was going with her lover for the mission. She knew Barry, Wanda but she had never seen Jean before so she was new to her. Owen too was new. But the presence of Thanos was what surprised her.

She had seen him fighting the Avengers on Mars and that fight was apparently long before she came here so she was confused about why Thanos was here and he had weird extensions in his body with metallic parts attached to his arm and leg.

His body looked totally different and only his face which had scars now was apparent. Though she was confused she didn't ask. He trusted his lover and the Avengers.

"Welcome to the Ring, Luci." John said.

"The pleasure is mine. I brought my toothbrush, my towel and various bottles of whisky." Lucifer said, showing them his bag. Jean and Owen were surprised by his words. Owen had a little ugly face. He had read the Bible since his childhood and he was portrayed not in a very good way there.

So he was not sure if this guy could be trusted. History hasn't been good to him and neither was his behavior right now. John on the other hand didn't care. Lucifer always acted like that and he didn't care as long as he helped and he had spent 40 billions more to upgrade his power level. Last time in Hell he couldn't provide much power but this time it's different.

"The Harvester is on its way to pick us up." John said.

In a few minutes the huge spaceship was finally visible. It had been parked a little far away from Earth so that it didn't mess up with the rotation of the Earth and the other moons.

Everybody boarded the ship after it docked near the Ring and after waving their hands at the Hall, the exclusive team left. Many people had come to see them off from the Avengers. They didn't speak any word of encouragement and giving boost to the spirit. This war was just the start and the they have been working in shadows for a long time by killing Owen. This was just another mission.

But very few knew how terrible the Beyonders were. John had always spoken less of Beyonders. It was because he himself knew less of them. All he knew was that Doom was able to defeat the Beyonders with the help of Molecule Man. But he knew the horror of their strength. They defeated The Living Tribunal.

This was a huge feat and he needed to make sure he had all the cards at his hands. Now his own power had upgraded and this battle would be perfect to showcase what he had learnt. After the simple farewell the Harvester was on is way to regions outside the multiverse and it would take some time to reach there.

It was the first time for Lucifer and he looked like a kid who got a new toy. Since the Harvester was so big it had everything ranging from football fields to bars. And Lucifer went straight to bar.

"You cheeky bastard. You have been hiding this place from me for such a long time. If you had said that your spaceship had such places I would have come with you in a jiffy."

"No you wouldn't have. You still love your penthouse."

"Can't argue with that." Lucifer also nodded his head to that. His penthouse was really luxurious and he didn't want to part with it for a long time. Lucifer dove straight to the cellars to drink some whisky and surprisingly Thanos joined him in drinking some alcohol.

John could see that recently Thanos had been giving away his life to alcohol. And John wouldn't stop him. He had spent a majority of his life killing people. Now he was in his own prison. In a few hours they were finally at the place where many had been stationed all the time and under strict vigilance by the Green lanterns.

The Harvester docked with the old spaceship and they all came to the main ship to get their suits. John had ordered for manufacturing of suits suitable for the journey to the Wall a long back. Many had been built as they might need it if they ever go inside the Wall.

Now was one of those cases. Professor X of 616 was temporary leader of the group here with the Guardians. Since all were telepathic they had many things in common.
