John didn't think of Mera at first but then remembered her after Arthur asked. He felt guilty. Even though they were all his summons he wanted everyone of them to be happy. This was his greatest drawback. He wanted everyone to be happy around him. He helped everyone or guided them to help always. The reason why John had almost forgotten about Mera was because he didn't like the character of the actress who played Mera in his previous life.
The actress kind of had a bad reputation and she was known to have an abusive relationship with one of his favorite actor.
As Tony and Arthur were talking there was movement in the surrounding water. They both turned their head only to see a very beautiful woman with red hair entering the air sphere around them.
The woman had a small crown and wore a green dress. Arthur saw her and instantly became happy. "How was the journey?"
"Well nothing major. The water reeks the same filthiness as our world." the woman said. She was Mera, the next queen of Atlantis. John had to spend 140 million fan values for her.
Arthur went ahead and kissed her. "Ok people we need to go back to Diana. I have a girlfriend too and she must be worried." Tony said to elevate himself from being the third wheel.
"Let's go! But we need to remain hidden. Let the world know that you are dead, only in that way you can bring Mandarin out from the shadows." Arthur said.
"John told you about Mandarin too?" Tony asked.
"Yes! As I said he had sent the relevant information through his dreams." Arthur said. Mera waved her hands and the water bubble on which they were standing started to move.
Tony matched the speed of the moving water bubble with his thrusters and all three went to the other end of the island where Diana was living. They sneakily went up the island's cliff and came to the door of Diana.
Drift was there near the door and Tony was relieved to see that. Even though Diana was present he didn't want to take any chances as there might be assassinations attempts. Arthur went and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by Diana. Pepper too came from behind and ran to hug him. "Are you okay? Is everything alright?"
"Yes everything is fine. Mermaid man here saved me." Pepper looked at the two people behind. She immediately know who they were as she too watched the movie.
"Thank you Arthur. And thanks to you too Mera. Nice to see both of you." Pepper said.
"Hello Pepper. Nice to see you too. See Tony, this is how to thank people. It's alright Pepper. I believe he could have saved himself." Arthur said.
"Hello Pepper. Must be exhausting having a giant baby to take care for." Mera said
"Oh! You have no idea." Pepper replied.
"Ok now Maya tell me why did you come to my home here traveling so far from mainland to warn me?" Tony asked.
"Umm.. I think my boss works for the Mandarin." Maya said. She was shaken inside. She really didn't expect that Aquaman would enter the scene now. Now almost the whole world believed that all superhero movies of John would come to life. And she was the first person to see Aquaman in real life.
She saw Diana before and now there were Atlanteans. She wondered why did she even come to warn Tony while he has such high powered bodyguards.
"Who is your boss?" Pepper asked.
"Aldrich Killian." Maya said. And then proceeded to say about her research of the Extremis Virus and why she thought Killian worked for Mandarin. But what Mera said next scared her.
"She is lying. I can feel it. Diana don't you have the Lasso? Use it on her." Diana didn't waste a second and brought the lasso of truth and bounded Maya.
Maya instantly blurted out all the facts about Killian being the actual Mandarin and that he was the one behind all the recent bombings. She even said that Killian was funded by many high level corporations and it was on their help that he could launch such a long range missile.
Maya also spoke about the history of Tony with Kilian and their meeting in Switzerland in 1999 and him being a total jerk to Killian.
"Why would these companies go through so much to kill me?" Tony asked.
"Because your car is going to change how the world works Tony." Maya said while still bound by lasso. Tony understood what she meant. His invention would really change the world forever.
"So Killian it is. I have ignored so many people in my life. Never thought one would come back to haunt me." Tony said.
"Seems like you pissed a lot of people. Well whatever where is the beer. I am famished." Arthur said. Pepper and Mera started talking like best friends while Diana let Arthur to the bar.
"Oye oye matte matte. Can you all take this Killian seriously? He is a terrorist." Tony said as he saw everybody lost interest.
"You created this. Figure it out yourself." Mera said.
