"You did. Well until the deviants were killed. And then everything was back to what it was before. Savages. But that's the fault of humanity, not yours. Ikkaris was beaten down for another reason. But before that we need to leave here." John said as he saw many people taking out their mobile phones and had started making videos of them.
"Are there two Superman? Or is it a fight between Batman and Superman again?"
"Was that Doomsday? What were the spears? The spears of Gilgamesh? '' People were whispering all kinds of absurd things trying to understand. John heard all this and sighed. His works had now infiltrated everywhere but now the people appoint other names to totally different and unrelated things.
Before they got overwhelmed by people he vanished with Ikkaris and others. Including Dane. He too had a role as he too was an Avenger, in other universes.
The Black Knight. Wielder of the Ebony Blade.
When they appeared again they all were in the Ring. Ikkaris was still unconscious and was on the shoulder of Clark. Sprite and Sersi were scared and so was Dane. They didn't understand why Ikkaris was treated badly. As they appeared in the Ring they saw a woman standing far on the beach looking at the ocean.
When Sersi and Sprite saw the woman they rejoiced, because they knew her.
Ajak.
"Ajak." Sersi shouted. Ajak turned her head to look at them and smiled, but then she saw Ikkaris. She could see that he was alive but was beaten badly.
"Sersi.. Sprite.. Come, we have things to discuss." Ajak called both of them. John on the other hand looked at Clark and said.
"Avengers, Clark is here. Meet me at the hall." saying that he took off his helmet. Sersi and Sprite saw the face behind the helmet for the first time. Even though John was one of the candidates who people thought was Dr. Fate many still didn't believe it but now seeing him in reality was different.
"Sersi. It's been a long time." John smiled and said.
"You.. You.. You knew about me at that time when we met?" Sersi asked as he remembered their first meeting at the museum. She thought the meeting was weird but now everything became clear.
"Yes. I knew about you all. And truth to be told I have always known. Known more than you. Ajak will say more about it. Ikkaris will be taken away for attempt of murder of a fellow Eternal." John said.
"What?" Sprite and Sersi shouted.
"Yes. He tried to kill me yesterday." Ajak said in a low and sad voice.
"What are you talking about? Why would Ikkaris do that?" Sprite asked agitatedly.
"Because he knows the real purpose of your arrival on Earth. Go and talk with Ajak. She will clear your doubts. I will send him to prison." John said as he waved his hands. He sent Ikkaris to a prison built on the Ring by using magic.
"Let's go, Clark. We will meet your new and old friends. Many things have changed." John said. Clark nodded and then they both flew away.
By the time John and Clark reached the hall almost all the Avengers had arrived. Wayne looked at Clark.
"It's been some time brother." Clark said.
"John told you about my lineage?" Wayne asked with a bland face. Clark nodded his head.
"I am happy that I have someone who has the same powers as me. Even though we don't have the same parents, at least we share the same heritage." Clark said as he was genuinely happy to see someone who was a Kryptonian. The death of Zod was still heavy on his shoulders.
"You guys need to get a room." Tony interjected. Everybody laughed when he said that. Then all proceeded to enter the hall. As Clark was an old member of the Justice League he knew some of them.
Thus the introductions began. They all were happy to see a new member who was very powerful.
"So Tiamat is going to come. In a few days. Be ready when I call you all." John said.
"Are you sure the handling of yours doesn't need help?" Tony asked.
"I don't. Help me handle the other guy who will probably show up after I block this new baby." John said as he was sure Arishem would show up.
"Alright. All of you get acquainted. I am off. Have lots of things to do." John said as he vanished.
"He is the most hard working person I have ever seen." Banner said. John didn't look like he had time and was always vanishing after speaking a few words.
"Power comes with huge responsibilities on shoulders." Vision said.
"True. But him being a God and still interfering in normal life. I don't think this will go down well with the other supposed Gods." Wanda said.
"Yes and in those moments we need to help him. We might not be real Gods but we damn as well give our all in fighting these hypocrite Gods." Natasha said.
