John then appeared again at his home. Ajak, Sersi and Sprite had already entered his home and were sitting. John had ordered the spirit of the House to invite them in so they had all entered.
Their faces were not looking good after they came to know what their purpose was. They finally understood why Thena acted out of her character sometimes. It was because she had memories of her past life.
"You have been lying to us for centuries?" Sprite accused Ajak.
"I am sorry but I thought it would be better for all. Having conflicting emotions isn't actually a good feeling. It's like we are raising livestock. I have wanted it to end for such a long time. But we never had the power. Until now." Ajak said as he looked at John who had just appeared.
"This is Arishem we are talking about. Not Thanos. We are seriously outgunned." Sprite said.
"You don't have to worry about it. I will handle Arishem. Well Sersi will help us do it." John said.
"Me? How can I stop Arishem?" Sersi asked, surprised.
"Arishem? No. I want you to handle Tiamat. With the help of the connector of Ajak you can do a uni-mind with the other Eternals and make Tiamat a statue. And Arishem. I will talk with him personally."
"Who are you kidding? That is Arishem. He is the Judge. He can easily kill you." Sprite said.
"He can't. If he tries doing that I will unleash a force against him that he couldn't even imagine in his life. And the convention among Gods won't allow him to touch me." John replied with a smile.
"What does that mean?" Sersi asked.
"You will see when the time is right. Sprite, I know you love Ikkaris but let me give a piece of advice. I am not as good hearted as Sersi or Ajak. If anything goes wrong because of you, I will personally destroy you."
"Eh..." Ajak said.
"What...!!" Sersi said. Even Dane who was listening to the conversation was surprised. They never expected that Sprite had been secretly loving Ikkaris.
"How do you know this? I have never spoken about this to anyone." Sprite said as she clenched her fist. She really loved him and she had been hiding this from everyone for centuries.
"As I said, I know a hell of a lot more than you can imagine. Now you all need to bring the band together." John said.
"Sprite you really Ikkaris?" Ajak asked as she was really surprised now. After all these years none of them noticed. Only after John's words did they realise it was probably true. Sersi felt awkward as she was essentially married to him before. And now this revelation changed many things.
Sprite nodded her head but had tears in her eyes.
"Dane. Are you comfortable here?" John asked.
"Yes. Thank you for the hospitality. But I am curious why you brought me? I am nobody." Dane said.
"You aren't a nobody. You come from a very long heritage. And I want you to do one thing. Talk to your uncle and ask him about your family's history." John said.
"My family? Is it important?" Dane asked.
"Yes. I know you don't like your uncle and rightfully so but it is upto you now how you want to change your future. And maybe I can bring you to the Avengers." John said.
"Me and an Avenger? That's a good joke. Sersi and others are fit for that, not me." Dane laughed when he said that.
"The Eternals belong to a different camp. They are welcome to join if they want to. But you definitely belong to the Avengers." John said.
"I am just a normal guy..." Dane said.
"As I said, you should ask your uncle. You will know why I said that. When you are ready, call me. The Guilty Spark will now take you back home." John said. Dane nodded his head. From John's words he knew that something was up with his family. And needed to know what it was.
"How do you know all of us?" Sersi finally asked.
"There are many reasons for that. You will know when the time comes. Now we will go for Phastos and others. We need all of them to get the proper Uni-mind."
Sersi and others nodded their heads and thus all went on their ways. The Guilty Spark took away Dane and John's small and new team teleported to the home Phastos was living in.
Living with his son and his husband. And Phastos was playing with his son. When John and others appeared he was taken aback.
"It's been some time, Phastos." Ajak said.
"Heeey.. Ajak.. Sersi... Sprite... and Dr. Fate." Phastos incoherently said as he didn't expect his old friends would be back and this time with a new friend.
"Come in." Phastos said hurriedly then. The appearance of Dr. Fate would raise eyes in the neighbourhood and he didn't want any problems in his private life.
