"It's fine. I am safe. Trust me Emma. I am being protected always. You don't have to worry about me." John said.
"This is the last time you are allowed to do what you are doing Mr. John Jameson."
"Sure, Sure. Now let me go. Got some aliens to give a taste what earth's hell looks like." John said as he ended the call and continued killing aliens.
The war raged meanwhile. All of the superheroes were able to constrict the outflow of the aliens which were still entering earth from the wormhole. But there was an equal amount of destruction in the blocks where they constricted them. Governments from all over the earth were watching it with concern as they felt insecure.
Loki on the other hand who was flying around on an alien aircraft was blasted away by an arrow of Clint. And Hulk who was cruising by smashed Loki and said the famous words
"Puny God"
John in future when he came to know regretted a lot as he couldn't record that famous scene live and in this way the scepter was thrown away from Loki.
After half an hour of continuous fight, the world council had finally decided to nuke NY to stop the continuous onslaught. Natasha on the other hand was able to reach the roof of Stark Tower and found Erik Selvig who was sober now. From him Natasha came to know that she could close the wormhole using the scepter.
"Tony we have a nuke coming your way, I couldn't stop it. It was the decision of world council."
"Tony you need to send the nuke inside the wormhole. Natasha just said she knows how to close the portal. We can close the portal after sending the nuke." Batman said. His armor looked broken at many parts now. Even though he had upgraded his armor and looked almost like the armor in Batman: Arkham Knight, it still was damaged to many places after continuous fight.
"Guys pray for me! I am off" Tony said and he went to direction of the nuclear missile to direct it towards the portal. But everybody became desperate when a new information emerged. The White House too sent another nuclear missile as they feared one missile might not be powerful enough to destroy all the aliens and the leviathans.
"What the actual sh**t! Are they so much desperate? I am not going to vote in any more elections if I survive this." Clint screamed when he heard this.
John who was listening to all this smiled. Didn't he want to introduce another superhero? This was the perfect time for it. He said over the communications
"Guys, we have a new friend coming our way."
"New friend?" Steve asked.
"Just look into the sky. You will see him soon" John said. Everybody started looking at the sky but they didn't see anything. After a few seconds Natasha who was on the roof saw a green light flying towards the second nuclear missile. She knew instantly who this new friend was.
"The Lantern corp is here. Took this policeman long enough!" Natasha said.
"Hal Jordan! I thought he would never come." Steve said as he too was briefed on him before. He suspected a little bit before about the Green Lantern but now it seemed the Lantern Corps really existed. Batman on the other hand was little bit happy to see an old comrade again.
"Sorry Bats I am late. Got lost in this new universe. Had to figure my way here." Hal Jordan lied as was instructed by John.
"It's fine. Direct that missile towards the portal. And bring back Tony. His suit wouldn't support in vacuum" Batman said.
The people all over the world saw the man in green suit and knew that even Green Lantern was real.
"Why is this guy so late? Isn't he supposed to be the protector of the galaxies. I need an audience with the Guardians and revoke his license of being a Green Lantern." said a man who was watching all this on television.
"Audience with the Guardians? Do you think you can ever see the Guardians in your lifetime?" said another man who was watching all this with him. Almost all people believed in the movie of John by now after seeing Batman and Wonder Woman. Little did they know that there was no Lantern Corps in this universe unless John decides to bring the Guardians and the incorporate the corps.
Hal flew towards the incoming missile and wrapped it around a green halo with his ring. He took the missile and flew towards the portal. SHIELD who saw this sighed in relief as they too were responsible for this debacle.
Tony and Hal reached one end of the wormhole at almost the same time.
"After you Tin Man." Hal said to Tony as he was approaching.
"Don't make me die in hypoxia Greenlit guy." Tony said as he entered the portal with the missile. Hal too followed him with the missile.
"Close the portal when I say it." Hal said as he crossed to the other side.

After few seconds Hal's voice again sounded in the communications.
"Close the portal, their ship is toast."
The Green Lantern returned with Iron Man who was covered in a green ball. He slowly flew down as the portal was closed by Natasha. The Chitauri aliens died after the nuke bombed their spaceship.
"Hello Bruce. Never thought I would be relieved to see you again. You must be the new guys John told me about. Hello to all, I guess you know my identity so I won't bother introducing myself."
"Guys there is a place where they are selling shawarma. We should try it." Tony said as he came out of the green ball.
"Yes but before that we will have to deal with the last person." John who just joined said.
They all went to the Stark Tower to see Loki finally managing to sit straight.
"If it's all the same to you guys, I will take that drink." Loki said referring to the previous conversation he had with Tony. John who was looking at Loki took out his mask and said
"Loki, I am looking forward to see you again. Be well till then."
Then the SHIELD personnels came and took away the scepter. John saw Rumlow and Sitwell coming to take it. John could feel Sitwell trying to be away from John specially after what he saw in videos of John fighting. John just smiled at Sitwell.
Sitwell had always felt a kind of fear in front of John which no other superheroes gave him. "I will have to ask Pierce again to remove him. He is more dangerous than we thought."
Hal who was new to this world was talking with all others while Loki was taken away. Diana who was curious about Hal asked him several questions about their Lantern Corps.
"It's a pity that there are no Lantern Corps here in this world. It would have been easier." Natasha said. As she felt having a single corp would be useless in the vast universe. She didn't know how vast the universe but the presence of Chitauri and Thor gave all of them a glimpse how vast the universe might be.
As they went down the Stark Tower, John kept a keen eye to see if there is any future Tony Stark here but didn't see anyone.
"Did our past change the future? Well there are multiple timelines. It's fine as long as the timeline remains intact."
John thought but since he didn't see the future Tony Stark but then he threw away the thoughts to the back of his mind. They went down only to be confronted by Pierce. There was a huge debate between Thor and them and finally Nick came to resolve the problem.
The Tesseract and Loki would be taken to Asgard for safekeeping and proper trial. Pierce had huge objections but finally succumbed to Fury's persistence. He couldn't make proper arguments as there were many superheroes present here who saved New York and they too took the side of Thor.
If Pierce insisted it might backfire on him. John who was looking at the argument didn't insert himself but invisibly he too showed that he was on the side of Thor. Both Tony and John had huge influence so Pierce had more reasons not to go against their wishes.
Later everybody went to eat shawarma as all were tired and needed a time off. Even Hal and Banner joined turning themselves back to a normal persons. Hal looked very young and handsome like in the movie. While eating Hal finally asked John.
"Will the Lantern Corps come? I would have to recharge my ring from the green element lantern."
John stiffened when he heard this. He had forgotten about the recharge of the ring when he bought Green Lantern. Now it has come back to bite him. He hesitated a bit and said
"I am not sure, they might arrive along with Guardians." John said.
"It would be better if the Lantern Corps is here too." Diana said. John didn't add anything to it as he had to go home and see how much fan values were required to extract the Guardians and the Green element.
"I have a question for you John. Why don't you have the same anger against Loki as we have? I can understand Thor as Loki is his brother. But what's the matter with you? I have seen the way you look at him." Banner asked curiously.
"He is just lost in his way, he isn't essentially a evil guy. In almost all versions of Loki in multiverse that I have dreamed before he isn't that bad. You can say he is mischievous and have a huge hunger to prove himself. In fact in some world he is a good person and I believe this version of Loki too isn't bad." John smiled and said.
"Odin's beard! How many different universe do you dream about? It must be annoying to watch worlds in every sleep I presume." Thor said as he was happy that John didn't consider Loki as evil like the other guys present.
"It's alright. I am used to it by now."
After eating, Thor went with Bruce and Diana as Bruce assured Thor of making a device for him to travel using the Tesseract to his home with Loki who was imprisoned in SHIELD for the time being.
