Reckoning

All the eyes of the people went wide when the first head blew off. They didn't expect that this person didn't even give them a chance to rest their case or put up an argument. The President felt scared seeing that this person couldn't be reasoned with.

All his life he had put mutants under his thumb and he always had the high ground against them, but not this time.

"What do you want? Please tell us.. We will stop the Sentinel program.. And even the experiments will stop.. Please don't kill us." The President said, still shuddering in fear as he saw the second head just blew off.

"That ship has long sailed, Mr. President. Your hatred can't be just wiped away. There is always a reckoning. And for this one I will be the one. From today the White House will be wiped away. And so will many governments." John said as he continued killing everyone.

Many wanted to run but they couldn't move an inch. The deaths came slowly for everyone. The death in itself wasn't the most horrifying thing. But the wait for death.

That was more horrible. Maybe the wait made them more hysterical so many of them went crazy. Some were crying but the President suddenly was laughing. He laughed for a good few seconds before saying

"Hahhaha.. You think killing us will make your precious mutants feel more safe? No.. They will be hunted down more. They will be prejudiced against more. You are just pushing them off the cliff.."

John listening to this just smiled and said.

"Don't worry about it Mr. President. After today no human will ever lift their hand against the mutant kind. They will be protected. Now please die. I will have to go to other governments too to mirror what I have done and show the world the videos." John said as he killed the President as he was the last one left.

John had made them shut their mouths so that they wouldn't cry more loudly. Though John killed the main people, he didn't touch the President's family. During this purge, the President's family was conveniently outside so John didn't have to care for his family.

John didn't touch the maids and normal workers in the White House as they were innocent. He had spared all innocents as they didn't deserve deaths. Before coming here he had already checked with the omnipotent power about who deserved death and who didn't.

"White House is over, now for other governments." John said as he vanished from his place. he lifted the invisible barrier around the White House so that the normal people would be able to leave. After evacuation he would just release the meteor. There would be enough time for the normal people to evacuate by then.

John did the same thing with other governments the way he did with the US. The other world leaders who got the wind of it wanted to escape but they could never escape. In the case of the US, John didn't kill them by meteor, but in many governments he didn't even care and just let the meteor kill all the people who deserved death.

In a span of 12 hours, the major governments had fallen. Emergency was declared in all of these countries and the military had to take matters into their own hands. The X-men and the Brotherhood saw all of this in the news. They didn't expect that John would be so decisive and just kill every person in the higher echelon.

"He really went all out.. Didn't he?" Charles asked.

"He did what we should have done long before. I will never forgive them for what they have done." Erik said. He was very happy seeing the people responsible being put to death. And even their iconic governments were destroyed by meteors.

That was the most astonishing part. They never expected that John would be able to summon multiple meteors.

"He really wasn't kidding when he said he was a God." Scott mumbled. Only over powered beings could do things like bringing in meteors.

"That bird isn't as simple as it looks like." Jean said.

"Now the mutant kind will be under more hatred than ever before with this." Charles said as he felt not stopping John might create another kind of storm in the society.

"Didn't he see he will take us away to his Earth. The whole mutant kind will leave." Erik said as he gave a damn to the people of their Earth and was already seeing John as their savior.

"Does he really have planets under his belt?" Logan couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows. If it is not, then the other universe which we went to, we can just live there. Since there are no mutants and people cheer for superheroes, we can just be one and help others. Maybe that will help us." Erik said.
