Chapter 86: The incoming war
The circular cones that came out from all sides binded Clint from all sides without giving him an inch to move, he couldn't even twitch his fingers no could he step forward from the only side that was open.
The others in the room were dumbstruck including Steve as he had never seen such kind of thing ever before. Fury too had a weird look in his face. He suspected that John knew alchemy but he still wasn't sure what kind of alchemy John knew.
"What? Didn't you see Tony doing alchemy before? I thought SHIELD knew everything. You can't expect me to come empty handed. Can you?"
Natasha came a couple of minutes later to see Clint was being tied down. " You need to wake him up. Do whatever possible." John said. Steve who was looking at Clint said
"Can he get away from this control?"
"Yes! Just hit him in the face" John said with a chilly smile. The others looked at him weirdly but at the end chose to believe John. Clint was take into a secluded space so that he could be brought back to normal and Natasha followed him.
Hulk changed back to Banner soon. It was easier this time as he was not affected by Loki's scepter. It took sometime but Banner was back instead of being thrown down to a random place in the original plot. It affected Thor too as he wasn't stuck in the cage.
But Loki in the meantime managed to escape by the quinjet Clint had hit them. The agents who went to secure the cage died and even Coulson was almost in death bed. Fury went directly to Coulson. John too followed him.
"How do you want to save Coulson?" John said as he knew Coulson won't die due to this.
"I will call in a medical ninja. We have one here on hire. I hope you won't tell the others about the medical ninja. This was a secret between me and Darui. I asked for situations like this." Fury said.
"Sure, don't worry about that. But why did you chose to disclose this with me?"
"Because it's related to ninjas. They are your friends. I have lied way too much to get this team together. I think some truth should come out."
John really didn't know of the presence of ninja as he didn't check the presence of his summons in the helicarrier. Now that he checked he noticed a ninja, who was coming towards their position. She belonged to Kumogakure.
John left after seeing everything was in place. Everybody came back to the bridge, shaken by this small adventure. Many agents died and the fate of Coulson was unknown. Many people here had crossed paths with him before so everybody was sad. Fury didn't mention of having advanced medical help in the hellicarrier as he wanted to bring the team together.
"There was this idea of Avengers Initiative. Bruce and Diana had been a part of their own team before they got moved here. I have wanted to make such a team for a long time. Coulson too believed in this idea of a team. A team of superheroes so they could fight the battles we never could."
"At one point I even thought of discussing this with the 5 kages. But I don't think they will trust me. Yes we had the option of Phase 2. But I still chose to bring you all in instead of going through with Phase 2"
Everybody was silent. "We need to find Loki again. The last time he got caught by his choice. We need to bring him on our terms." Bruce said.
"Where shall we search for him?" Tony said. The next moment Tony's cell vibrated. He took it out and put it onto his ears. Tony trembled a bit after hearing the voice from other side.
"No. Don't do anything. I am coming right now." And kept it away immediately after.
"I know where Loki is. Let's go. Fury get your communications online." Tony said. This time everybody got ready. Even Clint was awake after being hit in his head by Natasha.
Diana and Bruce went into the Batwing. While others took on the quinjet. Tony flew away by himself as he would be faster than others with his suit. John too joined as he couldn't miss this war. Of course John wore a suit and even had a mask. The mask of the Anbu corps used by the ninjas.
As John went inside the plane he took out his mobile and called
"Darui, Can you send 100 chunin ninjas to New York. Keep them hidden in the city and help people in evacuation. No need to show your face to public. Send a small team of medical ninjas too to save those who might be injured."
Everybody were confused by this. "Is the army already coming? Can't it be stopped before?" Steve said.
"No. This war is required to back some people off Earth and to make a statement." John said. Everybody had a sullen face when they heard it. John can't let this war go away from his hands. This would be his best chance to expose the superheroes and gain more fan values. The reason he called the ninjas because he didn't want innocents to die and save them as much as possible.
This was the best he could do slowly turn the people's favor and increase fan values. People will believe in real heroes more than virtual ones.
