John didn't convince him more as he understood Bucky wanted to stay in Oa and help the only way he knows. Teaching how to fight. After talking for a few minutes John went back to DA. It was time to head to Mars where Tony and Steve were waiting for him.
Dark Aster opened the boom tube again now and the next moment they were near Mars. Both the spaceships then proceeded to land in Mars. From outside Mars looked completely different now. Mars now looked blue which signified that now Mars had oceans. John was happy to see as it meant that it has terraformed perfectly.
The spaceships landed near the floating world engine where Tony and Steve were waiting. He had already informed them of their return. John came out of the hatch only to see them standing.
"From whom did you steal this huge spaceship." Tony asked without even greeting him.
"A gift for helping someone and well I killed the original owner." John said as he spoke of Ronan a bit.
"Such a huge spaceship. We can never take it to earth back." Steve said. Victor and Barry came out of the hatch as they were talking.
"You both are?" Steve asked. They introduced themselves.
"You are Barry Allen?" Steve and Tony almost trembled when Flash said his name.
"Can you really time travel?" Tony asked at the end as he had heard of Barry from John before.
"Yes I can. But there are consequences. I think you know what I mean." Barry said with concern.
"Of course I know. I am just asking. Wow. A time traveler. That's new." Tony lamented.
"How is the progress in research?" John asked instead.
"Gained a lot. Better and more efficient suits for me and now I could make a better spaceship once I return earth. Will be faster and bigger. Umbrella is going to take another huge leap. I have already asked Pepper to make arrangements." Tony said.
"Good. It's time to return there. A small world might get merged to Mars soon. It will help the terraform the planet better and faster." John said suudenly.
"Another world? Like Naruto's?" Tony asked with concern.
"No. This world is little advanced in technology but in a very weird away. You will understand when you see it next time. We would need to plant trees in the Mars. This will take a long time."
"Good. If the new world is helpful to us, I don't mind." Steve said.
"Let's hop onto Starscream. We need to return." John said.
Everybody then got ready to depart Mars and everybody was excited as they would be returning to their planet after almost more than 3 months. They all needed to see familiar human beings again.
Starscream soon took off leaving all the other spaceships behind. Earth wasn't ready to see the spaceships yet. The governments were already trying to force Umbrella to give the space traveling technology, nobody wanted more problems now by exposing much higher technology.
Tony remodeled Starscream again after getting hands on new technology and so this was faster. It would only take 2 days to return instead of 7 days like Starscream was actually modeled for. John was happy to see the progress. John took rest while Victor and other talked about their own world and differences. Tony was specially interested in Victor.
When Tony came to know about the mother box and what it could do, he was shaking with excitement. He asked permission from Victor to work on it. Victor gave him the permission on the condition that it could only be experimented to make the boom tube technology available for the members of the team.
Tony accepted the condition in a heartbeat. Tony wasn't sure what the mother box was but he was looking forward to work on it after arriving home with Banner and Wayne.
After 2 days of travel they finally landed on the island from where they had left. After coming out they were greeted by Fury and Pepper.
"You all have done a great service to me." Fury said mockingly.
"Oh please. Wayne was there to handle the world council. You are just here to take reap the benefits of our work." Tony said.
"Wayne had a deal with the world council for sending SHIELD to Mars." Fury said with all seriousness.
"And here I thought you came to meet us because you missed us." John said as he inserted himself.
"SHIELD will get the necessary access to Mars but technological knowledge would never be shared. I think Wayne had already talked about it." John continued.
"Yes." Fury replied.
"Good. Now excuse me. I need to go back home and sleep in my own bed." John said as he really missed home and Emma too. He wanted her to be back soon. She had promised she would be there for the premiere of the next movie but that would be a long time.
