"So you are the famous John Jameson. Barry spoke a lot about you.' Professor X said.
"I hope nothing bad about me." John laughed.
"He has nothing but praise for you." Charles said.
"Reed, why is Apocalypse there?" Namor asked.
"My friends, I apologise to you. I have been deceiving you for some time now...." Reed proceeded to narrate his story.
".... So now we are here. Mr. Jameson here had liberated us. With this piece of shit." Reed finished speaking the whole drama with all the Avengers and about the abuse they had been receiving all this time while at the end pointing to Apocalypse.
"Reed, Miles, Raven... It's been hard on all of you." Steve said as they felt sad for receiving this brainwash for such a long time.
"How did Apocalypse lose his hand? You did this?" Strange asked Reed.
"No.. Mr. Jameson here is responsible for that. I am not that violent of a person." Reed said.
"He deserved every bit of it and one hand more." Namor said justifying what John did was right. He had always been a little violent person and always thought only an iron fist would keep the villains in check.
"Sigh.. What do you wish to do now Mr. Jameson? Take him away? Or let us imprison him?" Black Bolt asked.
"Honestly, I just want to kill him and I am still contemplating that. But I feel like he is hiding more than he should so I would like Charles to use his mind reading powers on him and check it. Though I can do it too, since it's a situation of your universe, some decisions would be left for you to take. In the end I am the perfect host of Phoenix Force and me interfering in every small matter might not sit well with the eyes of everyone. I let Barry do Flashpoint because Unmaker would have affected us too. But since Apocalypse here is just being stubborn you can deal with him yourself. " John replied.
"We understand Mr. Jameson. We will handle it well. He was trying to awaken a being which had killed billions. We can never overlook it. And if we find him guilty, we will treat him accordingly. Even the death penalty isn't off the table." Steve said. Like John he too was angry that Apocalypse had been committing such a huge crime.
A crime against all of humanity and threatening the multiverse. This was wrong on so many different levels. And a crime that couldn't be overlooked. John really wanted to kill Apocalypse but he changed his mind. It was because he heard a whisper in his ears, telling him not to interfere more.
John nodded his head as he left Apocalypse to Tony for him to handle. Tony too was surprised when he came to know so he didn't waste a second. SHIELD appeared at the Avengers Tower and took away Apocalypse in high security. What Apocalypse was doing was against the basic line of morality and Nick Fury knew that even the Council who advocate for death penalty if whatever John and Reed said was proved to be the truth.
Reed and others left as they all needed to meet their family. Tony too left with SHIELD for extra security and left the Avengers Tower to John and Barry.
"Wait for me. I need to treat you both for what you have done. You both deserve something for saving our world." Tony said before he left.
Barry nodded his head as good food was always an attraction for him. And Tony's parties were always lavish and had grandeur. John just shrugged his shoulders as he didn't really care. Though he didn't like parties, he didn't hate them either. In addition, all the Avenger members would arrive so he couldn't say no.
John and Barry both sat in the living room looking over the city from the glass walls.
"Uatu why did you stop me from killing him?" John asked. When John had made up his mind to kill Apocalypse it was Uatu who whispered to him not to interefere.
"Thank you for bringing me back to life." Uatu as he appeared out of nowhere behind John, scaring Barry.
"Dude, I am eating here? Can you knock?" Barry said.
"Sorry for that Mr. Allen. You have my immense gratitude for what you have done for the multiverse."
"Yeah.. yeah.. mention not... Just don't scare me again." Barry said.
"You still didn't tell me why you stopped me there." John reminded him.
"You have saved the multiverse again and honestly we are all grateful and brought me to life. Though Barry here executed the so-called Flashpoint, he has changed the reality itself. The Celestials and other Gods believe that you have interfered enough and wanted you to stop." Uatu said.
"You know Uatu I am thinking of inserting my hands into the music industry. A new single. From me. Titled - Hypocrisy and Nosy bitches." John said with a very serious tone.
