"Hahaha you don't have to worry about it. Dad always listens to me." John said being relieved. It's been almost 2 years they had been dating and John wanted to introduce her to his family.
John and Emma reached his home and went inside. Val was present as usual taking care of the house. John introduced her to Val. Valentina was very happy that John had brought a girl. She used to think John probably would die single after watching his lifestyle but finally saw hope.
John took her to the guest room and allowed her to fresh herself after a long flight. After an hour or so Emma came out looking fresh and wet hair. John who was sitting in the family saw her in that look and almost melted in his seat.
Emma sat beside him and he couldn't stop himself from kissing her. Jameson still had couple of hours left to return so they started talking. Emma was excited about the Jurassic Park and she couldn't stop herself but John remembered that Fury would join him in this expedition.
"Emma what do you think of me? Like from a third person's perspective." John suddenly asked.
"Huh! I don't understand. What do you mean?" She replied being confused.
"For example, if you have never known me. What would you think of me?"
"Ummm.. Probably a mysterious business tycoon who never shows his face. In my crew everybody wants to know more about you. You are a legend." Emma laughed.
"Mysterious? Maybe I am. Emma my world is very different. My world is dangerous. More dangerous than you can imagine." he said. Emma was confused by this so she asked
"Dangerous? You mean your relation with Tony Stark and Bruce makes you vulnerable?" Emma asked. Emma knew how politics worked, even though John had huge influence sometimes politics could be overwhelming. John not being a part of politics had already surprised her so she thought John was threatened by something.
"No Emma it's not them, people don't actually matter to me. I am trying to say about other things. Did you watch Wonder Woman?" John said.
"Yes. It's a good superhero movie."
"What if I tell you Diana Prince is real?" John asked with a serious face.
"Huh! Good joke John, you almost fooled me with your serious face." Emma said with a laugh but after a couple of seconds she saw that John had no change of face.
"You gotta be kidding me? Say that it's a joke." Emma asked now with all seriousness.
"I wish it was a joke Emma but it isn't. Diana does exist and tomorrow you will get to see her." John said.
"I don't understand. Her existing means Gods once lived in Earth? If it's true why would you make a movie on her? Isn't that exposing you in front of people if her identity gets revealed?" Emma asked. John was surprised by her thoughtfulness.
"Gods exist, Yes! But your notion of Gods and real Gods are different. About me showing her it's because she doesn't belong to our universe.." John then proceeded to explain her about his 'false' parallel universe theory and told her it's his way of contacting the people who comes from other universes and his subsequent dreams. Emma was shaken, in fact a part of her still didn't believe him. But John's insistence and promise of introducing her to Diana convinced her somehow.
As John was explaining many things to her, Jameson returned. He saw his son talking with a girl in the family room. Even though he heard rumors of his dating in England he never paid heed to it.
But when he saw Emma talking with John he knew that the rumors were true.
"Dad, she is Emma, my girlfriend."
"Emma this is my father, J Jonah Jameson." John introduced them to each other.
"Hello Mr. Jameson it's nice to meet you." Emma said with a hint of blush on her face.
"Hello miss Emma. It's nice to meet you too. My son has a girlfriend now. Looks like he has grown up finally. Son I need to talk to you in private." Jameson said with a laugh and a hint of seriousness at the end.
"Private? What happened? You can speak in front of her. She knows about my secret. I just told her." John said. Jameson was surprised that Emma knew his secret. Jameson hesitated for a second and finally said
"I heard there was an incident in New Mexico. Were you involved? I saw that you went there few days ago."
"Yes. There was an incident and it's resolved. Diana has appeared." John said.
"What? Even she is real? No wonder you showed her connection with Batman in the movie. Next time don't be mysterious and inform me from before who will be appearing."
"Dad I am never sure who will appear. I just see my dreams and make it in reality. Not all characters I make come to this world." John shrugged and lied straight out.

"So Emma now you believe me? I don't think I would make an elaborate plan with my father to fool you." John said looking at Emma. Emma blushed a little but didn't say anything.
"Dad I will go to Jurassic Park. Want to join?" John asked hi father.
"Jurassic Park? Sure. I didn't get to see them with my own eyes. Will be a short vacation for me. We can take Val too with her family."
"Of course. You all should pack up. Oh yes the Director of SHIELD might join too" John added.
"SHIELD? OK" Jameson said as he knew John being a consultant of SHIELD.
"What is SHIELD?" Emma who was listening to the conversation asked.
"SHIELD is a secret organization which is responsible for handling any weird situations or people. Like Diana and others." John explained.
After talking for an hour or so John and others went to rest. John even introduced her to the cube and helped her transformed her mobile. They both named it Bicorn after a creature from Harry Potter books. Emma was really happy as now she had a pet that could accompany her.
The next day everybody got ready. The children of Val were thrilled to see Emma as they too were fans of Harry Potter and started pestering about Harry Potter. In the end Val somehow curbed their enthusiasm. As they reached the private hanger they saw two black SUVs waiting for them in the hanger.
Fury was standing in front of some agents and a woman standing right beside him.
"Morning Fury, you must be Maria Hill. Nice to meet you." John said surprising both Hill and Fury.
"You really do know a lot of SHIELD." Fury murmured. Hill was taken aback but she was briefed about John before coming with Fury so she smiled politely and said
"Hello Mr. John, first time meeting I presume. And this must be the famous Miss Emma Watson. You have already heard my name and he is the Director of SHIELD." Hill said trying to gain the same momentum as John.
"Seems like you have done your homework. My private life is a joke." John lamented.
"Please Mr. John you are a consultant of SHIELD, if anything happens to you not only SHIELD but the world will delve into chaos." Fury said this time justifying his invasion on the privacy of John. John shrugged but didn't say anything.
John knew he should let him being monitored as he didn't want to raise eye brows of Hydra yet. At least not before the shielding technology is made. He gritted his teeth and accepted it.
The next moment two luxury cars came roaring by and stopped in front of them. From the first car Tony, Pepper and Happy stepped out and from the next car Bruce, Diana and Alfred came out.
"You are late Tony." John said.
"I am Stark. Do you think I care? Oh who is this woman? Your girlfriend. Never expected you to have a girlfriend" Tony said as he saw John holding a woman's hand.
"Eh Bruce! You have a girlfriend too?" Tony said after noticing a woman with Bruce.
"She is Diana, princess of Amazon." Bruce said before Tony could say something inappropriate. Tony shuddered after hearing this. Emma too who was listening trembled a bit. For normal people the notion of Gods were still a huge moat to cross.
"You are really a demigod?" Tony said after coming back to normal in couple of seconds and seemed unfazed again.
"Gods are just an exaggeration. I am not invincible." Diana shook her head and said.
"Hello Miss Diana, I am Nick Fury, Director SHIELD. John might have already introduced us. I hope we can have a healthy cooperation in the future." Fury said while approaching Diana. They both shook hands.
"I heard Bruce is a consultant of SHIELD, I can occupy the same position but I don't like to be disturbed." Diana said
"That's for sure. After a normal assessment you are free to do whatever you want." Fury said.
"Fury I will appoint her as the curator of Jurassic Park. She is knowledgeable enough to handle the Park. Tony is that fine?" John said.
"Sure. A demigod responsible for the Park will be perfect. Even though the dinosaurs can never cause any problems for us but she being on the top is an added security"
Saying that they all boarded into the private plane. Emma was looking at Diana and others all the way as she was the only normal person here. She had never even seen Tony up close, forget about a demigod. She was little overwhelmed.
"What happened? Are you OK?" John asked as he felt she was little off.
"Your world is completely different. I thought money is all there it is for you. But money is just a small aspect of yours. I am just a normal girl. Do i fit here?" Emma said with melancholy.
"Emma we have all started somewhere. Tony too was just a rich arms dealer. Don't worry being with me you too will get used to this world. You can't imagine what a normal person is capable of if that person is determined enough." John said as they sat on their seat in the plane.
