"I got to say. This universe is glad to have you around John." Steve said.
"But this came at a cost. The emergence of Black Winter and I don't know how I affected the multiverse. This is just the start. And thanks for trusting me even after I am responsible for all the mess too." John replied as he felt shy. His influence has already awakened a sleeping monster. He didn't know how many more monsters had awakened because of him.
"There is nothing you can do. We gain in one hand and lose in another. Balance should always be there in the universe. Even if your influence might have made all the people cross over to our universe, we gained new friends and comrades in turn. And If your magic was responsible for this, it wouldn't mean that someone is deliberately doing this." Thor replied as he still trusted John and had never seen John going and doing some magic to bring people. If John had done, his magic would have been sensed by other a long time ago, but it was never the case.
All went back to sleep and rest as this narration took a long time and everybody needed to digest what they had just gained. That parallel universe was a reminder of how lucky they were.
None returned home and all stayed back at Asgard for 1 more day to have a proper rest. Only Peter returned home as his aunt called him. His mind was blown by what he had seen. He had never known that there were so many amazing things in the universe.
He thought the Avengers were powerful enough to handle the universe like they did on two occasions but now when the whole story came out, he understood that he was naive and nobody is safe. It was either kill or be killed.
After another day of rest all the Avengers returned home. They had a good time at Asgard but now it was time to get to work. John spent the rest of his time with animes as now he needed a power up. He was thinking of spending fan values to get himself a boost.
He called Lex to know how his works were received by the audience. Lex gave a positive response saying that people of Nova loved his works. Especially after the introduction of Phantom drive, people believed that there was Krypton and even some went into search for that planet.
And green lantern too helped in people believing that the movies were real. Even though not all got close to the Green lanterns, their presence and videos showing their fights were famous and thus John's work too became famous.
John was happy to know all of this. Even though he hasn't gained much fan value, whatever could be added he would take it gladly. And now all he needed was a platform to show the power of the Avengers. This will boost his fan values by a large number.
And that platform came when Rocket called John after a week of returning from Asgard. Emma had already left by that time so he was alone when the call came.
"Hey John. what's up?" Rocket said.
"Hey. I am good. What about your missions? Is everything going well?" John asked as he knew there must be a reason for his call.
"We all super. Groot has been helping us a lot. Listen. I called you for a reason." Rocket said.
"I know you have called for a reason. You never call just to check me up." John mocked.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? I call my friends." Rocket said.
"That's a lie." came the voice of Drax from behind.
"It's fine. Now tell me, why did you call?" John asked.
"Actually we are on the way to your Earth. We have got intel that Thanos has gathered a massive army to attack Earth and take the space stone from you all." Rocket said in a very serious tone. But when John heard it, he gave a huge smile.
He had been waiting for this for such a long time and now finally it was here.
"I understand. Come to the Ring. We will handle it." John replied.
"Why does it look like you are happy that Thanos will be attacking? Rocket asked as he was confused to see the smile on John's face.
"Of course I am happy. I have been waiting for this battle for a long time. Let him come." John said.
"You are weird. I will get there in a few hours." Rocket said as he ended the call.
John was happy that Thanos was coming. Now he needed to keep the dwarves of Nidavellir safe. He directly teleported to Asgard in the main hall. As he appeared he saw Atreus sitting on the throne talking with Thor and Frigga.
"John, why are you here? Came for another round of vacation?" Thor joked.
"No. Thanos is coming. Evacuate Nidavellir." John said.
"Thanos? ... I understand." Thor said as he became serious. And then he too vanished from his place. Atreus and Frigga too had a serious face.
"Do you want Asgard to help?" Atreus asked.
"It will be fine if you send Kratos and Loki. No need to send soldiers. We have our own." John replied.
"Queen Frigga, how is everything going on with Aldrif. Did she believe you yet?" John asked.
"He did believe us after we got the Queen here and made her accept her past. Her plan to torture her but later thought otherwise as she wanted to make her the Queen in order to spite on Odin."
"What a spiteful woman. I advise you not to let Aldrif out early. You need to make sure that she doesn't have feelings for Heven. She had lived there for centuries. I am sure she won't take it in a good way of Asgard ruling over them."
