Arthur silently closed his eyes, remembering the moment of his loss and his humiliation of not being able to save the innocent, but this time he did successfully and he felt nostalgic. He knew Thanos would come back eventually as an enemy, but he had no choice.
" Let's go. We have so much to catch up."
Arthur turned his head around, flying to his people while the rest of JL followed his suit. They didn't question him since he had warned them before his departure and they saw the horrible being that could potentially rival Darkseid who was their archenemy.
Therefore, they patiently waited for his answer, knowing he would give them a proper conclusion to his disappearance.
Honestly, JL was a little bit struggling after Arthur's departure due to the constant provocation of both government and supervillains. Batman and Superman kept close eyes on them, but the amount of heroes was pitiful contrary to the amount of villains.
Hence, they were looking forward to the day of his return, but who would have thought he would spend 10 years to get back to them? No, they went to him before he got there which was ironic.
However, it was worth it since they helped their friend to protect his world from danger.
" Need a hand?"
Clark went next to Thor and extended his head with a smile. Thor laughed loudly as he grabbed his hand and pulled himself up from the ground. He was exhausted, but looking at this powerful group of unknown heroes made his blood boil once again from rivalry.
Especially this man who was clad in blue and red. His power was much more powerful than theirs, almost scaling every hero to the lowest level of fodder.
" My name is Clark Kent aka Superman. That man who is helping your friend is Batman and this is Diana who married Arthur in my world. Shazam, Green Lantern, Cyborg, and Flash. We are the group of heroes known as Justice League in our world and Arthur is one of the founding members in our world."
Clark explained their identities to the heroes who were looking at them with confusion since they were the strongest heroes on Earth.
" I understood that from Batman. We never thought there would be another group of heroes that rival our strength and we are happy to meet you."
Steve dusted himself while clearing his throat. The other council members and heroes also nodded with him, acknowledging the existence of this new group of heroes. Besides, it wad better for them to have a powerful ally like JL.
" This place isn't a good place to chat. How about going to my city?"
Arthur coughed, gesturing Strange and Wong to open the portal to Eden. Two of them rolled their eyes and seemed to like saying " Do your job " as they opened it.
" Wait, you have a city in this world? How rich are you? I mean you and Bruce are the richest people in our world, but this is a whole new level."
Hal shouted, not believing his friend was filthy rich enough to buy a freaking city. Furthermore, the city looked huge from outside of the portal, towering buildings with green mixed in and symbols of modern technology were engraved everywhere.
" Ah, I have created this city as a haven for the gifted and those who seek help. We originally met in the vicinity, but that area seemed to be under construction and covered by the illusion formation and hologram, thus you didn't see the actual city."
Arthur said, walking inside the portal with a delighted look. After 5 years, he was finally home and he was going to meet his people and his family.
" For your information, I have known there was a city in the vicinity."
Bruce spoke calmly, following behind him with smiling Clark who also saw through it. They were the strongest in the league, so it was natural to sense such things.
" I am glad you are alive, lord Arthur. The absence of your seat had greatly shifted the balance of hell and heaven."
Zechs flew next to him, congratulating him for his return. As for Gabriel, she was hiding behind his back, not knowing what to do after these years. She was caught red-handed by Tyrande and she was ashamed to face him.
