Soon everybody arrived for the party. Even Charles Xavier who always avoided these kinds of things showed up. Barry was already acquainted with all of them as he was revered as the hero who saved the world.
But the recent revelation made them realise that not everything was simple. They got rid of Unmaker but now they had another kind of enemy. And nobody knew how they would face this new being who came from an opposite universe. Though scientifically it was very easy, but since the other party had an extra power they weren't sure how to handle this with no casualty.
Though John assured them, they still felt a little uneasy.
After spending a few hours at the party and meeting everybody it was time for John to leave with Barry. Barry had passed a lot of time here and thus he needed to go back. Before leaving, John left with a warning to Strange saying that if Annihilus appeared they needed to call him.
"Strange, please don't be a superhero. And call me. I don't want another flashpoint in your universe."
Strange nodded his head. Though he never liked being bossed around but what John said was right. They needed to be smart about it. And from the mouth of John it seemed like he already knew how to handle this being.
With that said John opened a portal and both John and Barry walked.
"Yo people, it was nice this past year. Be alive when I come next time." Barry joked as he was stepping inside.
"We will be good. You better not run into people and kill them." Tony cursed back too.
"I am not A - Train." Barry replied as the portal closed.
"What is A-train?" Tony was confused by this sudden reference of Barry. Tony and Barry both bonded a lot because of their references to movies and stuff. But Tony had no idea what A-train was.
----
"He doesn't know about the A-train." John said the A-train was a speedster in the Boys series. Though John had always shown superheroes in good light, he had shown them in bad light too. It was ironic because the boys series was what John was doing in their home.
He propagated movies on superheroes which the Boys series did too. But there the superheroes were the antagonists. And surprisingly, the series was very well received by the audience. They applauded Disney for having the courage to show the superheroes in a bad light and it actually made John's fan values rise more.
"It doesn't stop me from mentioning it."
"Yeah well. You should go home now. You have been away from home for a long time."
"I have been away from home for a few hours. What are you saying?" Barry said as he zoomed away.
"Show-off." John smiled.
After going back to flashpoint, Barry didn't come to the present by using the Speed Force, rather decided to have fun in their universe and stayed over there. Though his presence might be a problem for them, he who did flashpoint, didn't care any more.
John returned home only to see Lucifer waiting for him on the balcony sipping scotch from his glass.
"I have been waiting for an hour." Lucifer said.
"I went to a party on the other side, so sorry about that." John said.
"I smell several female perfumes on you. Shall I call an divorce lawyer?" Lucifer said.
"Stop creating a mess. Why are you here? I think I gave you a whole nightclub for you to manage in LA." John said.
After Lucifer arrived, he refused to be at Hell and said he wanted to spend his time here like the previous time here. Thus John fulfilled his wish and bought him everything and even registered him with the same name
Lucifer Morningstar.
"No, that is not a problem, I just miss them." Lucifer said finishing the alcohol.
"Them?" John was confused.
"Yes. Detective Decker and her little evil spawn." Lucifer said.
"Ahh. Why? You want me to bring them here?" John asked.
"Yeah. That old man said you help them in their journey. So here I am asking for a favor. Though I know.. It's the other way round, but I would like it if you can guide them here." Lucifer said.
"Fine. I will. I hope she doesn't freak out when she arrives. What do you want her to do by the way? Solve petty LA crimes?" John asked.
"SHIELD showed up a few days ago asking questions about me. Those guys looked pretty decent. Though they were scared of me. The Lord of hell, but they were alright." Lucifer said.
"SHIELD.. Well your name and that nightclub screams trouble so of course they will show up."
"So.. Uhh... You want her to join SHIELD?" John asked.
"ummhmmm." Lucifer said.
"Well it's upto her. Not my concern. You will have to take care of them if anything goes wrong." John just shrugged his shoulders.
