The reinstated memories

"No this is impossible. She can't have that much power." Logan exclaimed.

"Why did you think Charles, Strange and the rest of the Illuminati decided to finish her? Even Erik was onboard with it." John said. Logan sat there contemplating. He couldn't believe that Scarlet Witch just changed the whole world with her power alone. Even Clint came to life who was dead due to the attack of Kree.

"I understand.. But who the f**k are you? Thank you for the food but how do you remember all of this? Are you like me? A mutant who has healing powers?" Wolverine. He didn't ask that question before because he was too overwhelmed but now that he knew why this world was out of place he needed to know who this charming person was.

"I wasn't present when all of this went down. Actually I came to this universe a few hours ago. I know all of this is because of other reasons."

"Another universe? You mean a parallel universe? What is your name?" Logan asked.

"Yes, another parallel universe. My name is John Jameson. Yes, I am the son of J Jonah Jameson from another universe."

"Oh. You seem to know a lot even if you belonged to another universe." Logan said.

"I do. But that is not the main point here. The people here are confused about why we think the world is upside down. Why don't you tell them." John said.

Wolverine nodded and then proceeded to tell about why he thought the world was wrong. Their mission was to kill Scarlet Witch but they failed to do so. And Wanda went full crazy, changing the whole world.

"Even if we trust you, how do you retain such memories?" Moon Knight asked.

"I don't know." Logan said.

"There are two reasons that I can think of." John interrupted in the middle.

"Oh. Tell me then." Logan said.

"Firstly, his body can heal faster than normal and he has been brainwashed so many times that even his brain can resist changes done to it. And secondly, his greatest wish was retaining all the memories of his past. Wanda didn't fulfil that but she at least gave his memories of his previous life."

"How twisted and horrifying." Barbara mumbled as she heard the whole story from Wolverine. Now she understood why both John and Layla claimed the world was upside down.

A world where mutants were in minority and humans in majority. A person having enough power to change reality.

"Even after what you said is true, how will we convince the masses?" Luke asked.

"You can't. But Layla here can help." John said.

"Huh! What do you mean?"

"Layla has the power to reinstate all your memories. Isn't it right Layla?" John asked and all looked at Layla who was happily putting a lollipop in her mouth that John gave.

When all looked at her she smiled and nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell us before?" Clint asked.

"Because I wanted to see you all being confused for a longer time. Anyway seeing is believing. But now Logan is here so you can start the process. Layla, can you reinstate their memories?" John asked.

"Sure." Layla said.

"Who will volunteer first? Please raise your hand." John said out loud. Many raised their hands.

"Luke, you are the leader, you should get to see the old world first." John said. Luke nodded his head and came near Layla.

"How does this whole process work?" Luke asked.

"Uncle. I need to touch your forehead to bring the memories back." Layla said. Luke nodded and he bent down to let Layla touch his forehead. After she touched his forehead for a few seconds, Luke opened his eyes.

He had tears. His memories got reinstated but now that he looked at everything from the previous world, he was sad. He thought the previous world would be utopia. But it was far from that. He had lost so much. Their fights, their struggles.

Their sacrifices. And if that was not enough he saw Clint being dead. Even if this world was fake, his current memories were filled from the start of his childhood. Even though he hated everything in this world, at least a major portion of the world was happy.

And now if they went and changed everything back, it would be back to normal. A struggling life.

John who saw the tears knew that Luke came to know everything of his past. He went and put his hand on his shoulders

"Reality hurts. Doesn't it?"

"It does. This is f**ked up. Do we even deserve such a world? This world is much better than we had before." Luke said. His words surprised all of them. All the members of the Resistance thought their actual world would be perfect.

But from Luke's words, it didn't seem like that.
