Return

"Dr. Doom is a variable that I don't want to leave behind. He is a threat to the multiverse and he is too ambitious for his own good and for the multiverse." John said remembering the whole problem that arose due to him becoming God Doom.

"Threat to the multiverse? You mean in the future?" Professor X asked.

"Yes. I know you won't support me in this since the future hasn't happened and it would change constantly. But I still think he is a criminal who needs to be put in death penalty. Many of you might argue against me on this but you won't say the same when a guy might be responsible for killing multiple universes." John said.

"Multiple universes? What did he do?" Logan asked as he too got interested in all of this conversation and like John he too supported the fact that Doom needed to be killed. Though nobody had the guts to say it out loud, many thought what John did was right.

"That's a story for another day. For now you need to find the missing Avengers. I am sure there are many officials and many Avengers who have been replaced by Skrulls and Super -Skrulls. You have a lot of work to do. And if the higher officials give you more problems, tell them my name. That should act as a deterrent." John said.

"You threatened them too?" Jean asked.

"Of course I did. I did what you should have done a long time ago. Maybe Magneto would have been with you if you all had taken precautionary measures instead of being insane now on the streets." John said as Erik was still in a mental hospital after losing his powers during the House of M event.

"We are sorry..." Professor X said as he too felt guilty of what had happened. The mishandling of Wanda, being passive, everything had led to this.

"Telling me sorry isn't going to change anything. Being mutants doesn't make you a criminal. Own your heritage. I don't want to see divided mutants next time I come here." John said as he started walking away followed by his Avengers.

He needed to leave as he had done his work here and all his friends had a good exercise. It was fun while it lasted. The Avengers said goodbye to their counterparts as they too needed to leave with John.

The mutants and the rest of the Avengers also bade them goodbye and sighed in relief finally.

"Professor, did you try controlling John?" Emma asked as she was curious.

"I tried my powers on him but there is an invisible barrier around him and his friends. It's probably the Phoenix Force and that weird form of his that you had once mentioned. I didn't force myself. He is too powerful for us to go against. Then again he had helped the mutants a lot with what he did. We shouldn't have enmity against him. We aren't a match for their Avengers."

—----

John and others then disappeared and were back at The Ring.

"That was a nice journey. Though their technology is far behind us." Banner said in a little proud tone. It was true, their Earth did have a higher level of technology. Umbrella had rolled out flying cars now which the general public would be able to use for travelling. This was another giant leap for mankind.

The day wasn't far when humanity as a whole would be able to reach deep space. Lex had already asked the Nova Empire to make trade relations with Earth soon. By the end of this year Nova will pave their way to Earth.

"Do you think I was wrong to kill Doom?" John asked all the Avengers suddenly.

"John we had killed Hydra in a mass genocide. Why does Doom matter?" Steve asked as he was confused by this question. Except for the no-kill rule of Teen Titans nobody had any qualms in killing the notorious villains, when required.

It sounded extreme but sometimes they made decisions for the better and safety of humanity. Like their decision to kill Thanos was he was a threat to all of the universe.

"It's just I didn't like the way some of the other Avengers looked at me. They looked at me like a criminal." John said with a hint of sadness.

"John, I know you try to keep everybody happy, but it is not possible. Though I myself don't like that sometimes we take justice into our own hands, but we do it with clear conscience. Even if he wouldn't be responsible for killing many universes in the future, his war crimes aren't something to be looked over. He killed innocents. That is unforgivable." Clark said.

John nodded his head. He always tended to evaluate himself and keep himself in check if he had become a tyrant. He had all the powers to become one but he didn't want to be one.

There will be double uploads tomorrow if there are more than 350 power stone donations by the end of the day.

Thank you.
