Chapter 229: Sokovia Accords (2)
Everybody took their seats while Bruce sat at the head chair as he was the Secretary of the World Council. He was the invisible leader of the group and he was the one who took final decisions for the Avengers. Even John and Steve trusted Bruce's wisdom as his wisdom was at the top level.
Batman had an invisible charisma which made everyone trust him more. After they took their seats, Secretary Ross came with a huge file. John squinted his eyes when he looked at him. The first mission that John personally undertook was against Ross and he still remembered the slap that he gave him.
After coming to the table Ross said
"Five years ago I had a heart attack....." Ross said.
"Get to the point, Secretary. We all have work to do." John cut right into him and said. He really didn't like politicians and their schemes. He just wanted to see what they had planned this time. Ross turned stiff when John said that. Normally nobody would talk to him in that tone but it was John Jameson. The person who was behind every major change that the Earth has seen in decades.
"OK I will cut straight to the point. The last 4 years each one of you have operated under no control or supervision whatsoever. Many people will hail you as heroes but there are some who are not very fond of you. Thus the governments have come to an arrangement. The Sokovia Accords." Ross said as he handed the file over to Natasha.
"117 countries have signed the accords. This will state that the Avengers organisation will work under the United Nations Panel. Each one of you will be registered in the Accord and the people belonging to the group will only go into mission if and when the UN Panel deems it necessary." Ross said.
"I guess the Accords have the provision of registering every powered being on the planet. Yes?" John asked.
"Yes. Mr Jameson." Ross replied.
"Who gave the first proposal of setting the Accords." John asked this time.
"Wakanda. They are one of the most poor countries in the world. Even they think that the Avengers had been working under no control. Just imagine. A country who has nothing to fear has asked for this." Ross said. John smirked when Ross said this.
"You have a week to accept the Accords and come under the panel. The UN Panel wants the names and identity of all the members of the Avengers." Ross said to Wayne as Batman was still unknown to the people. Ross even suspected that Wayne was Batman but never could prove it.
"Have you informed the Kages about it?" John asked.
"The kages too would have their name registered in the Accords as the government will negotiate with them the terms. There will be a difference but yes their names will also be registered." Ross said as all the governments know the presence of Naruto's world.
"Hmmm.. Go tell the UN Panel. The Avengers won't accept any such Accords and the governments can shove the Accords up their a**es for all I care." John finally said in a cold tone.
"Is that the answer of the Avengers?" Ross said as he eyes fell on Wayne. Everybody was silent in the whole meeting and somehow everybody expected this response from John. John never liked any kind of supervision from anyone, it was the sole reason he built such a huge empire, to be away from the control of everyone.
The governments just poked a sleeping bear with the Accords. Truth to be said, nobody liked the Accords. Not even Tony who supported it in the original story. Tony accepted the Accords before because he was ridden with guilt when he made Ultron. But it was different this time. They had done nothing but good for the people.
Be it better living, better facilities to everyone and even gave the people of earth a dream. A dream to travel in space. Umbrella has covered almost every aspect of life and it is slowly becoming larger than what the countries could ever be.
Wayne just shrugged his shoulders to the question of Ross. Being a summon of John he could never go against the wishes of John, nor did he like the Accords. He had seen what politics could lead to.
"You all have a week. If it's not signed, everybody here will be declared as terrorist after 7 days." Ross said.
"Ross, do you remember that slap from Bee?" John suddenly asked as he saw Ross leaving. Ross trembled when John said that and almost unconsciously touched his face. That was his greatest humiliation in his life.
"How do you know this?" Ross asked in an angry tone.
"Hydra got decimated because they thought politics is power. Power is power Ross. Remember that." John said and walked away.

Chapter 230: T'Chaka
"Is that a threat?" Ross asked John who was walking away.
"Think of whatever you want." came the voice to Ross.
The doors closed and Ross had to leave. He was red faced as he didn't expect they wouldn't even care for the Accords. He felt there might be some voices who would be with the Accords but surprisingly none did. Not even Rhodes, who finally left the military under the insistence of Tony and joined the Avengers. The Avengers even paid salary to all with every benefits. He just couldn't say no. He was also tired of all the baggage that he had to carry after becoming Iron Patriot. So he too left for Avengers.
After Ross left everybody was silent. Nobody uttered a word. GAIA too was listening to this and finally broke the silence
"Do you want me to bring all the dirty work of all the countries?"
"No. GAIA connect me to King T'Chaka. I need to talk with him." John said. GAIA called him directly and soon a video opened showing a little old man with almost all his hair turned white.
"Hello. Mr. Jameson to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" the old man said.
"Hello King T'Chaka. I guess you have already got the report of us not accepting the Accords." John said in a straight manner.
"Yes. Secretary Ross has sent the response of you." the King replied with a smile as if the response didn't bother him.
"What do you want King? I am sure you didn't propose the Accords just because you are afraid of us. What is your real purpose?" John asked.
"I don't understand what you mean Mr. Jameson." the king replied.
"You know exactly what I mean. Just tell me your purpose. I hate politics and their roundabout ways to achieve something. So tell me your real purpose before it's too late." John said.
"Mr. Jameson I really don't understand what you mean by that." the King insisted.
"So be it. Don't regret the decision you have just taken." John said as he cut the call. Everybody didn't understand why John called the King as Wakanda was one of the most poor countries but it still baffled many of why Wakanda proposed the Accords when no country of Africa was affected in any way in all of this.
"What are you thinking John?" Natasha asked. John didn't reply as he directly wore the helmet. He closed his eyes for a few seconds and vanished from his place. Everybody was confused of what just happened. John appeared again but this time with a man. A man who had dreadlocks in his head. He wore half sleeves but had weird small skin markings all over his hands.
It was Erik Stevens, the Killmonger. Heir to the throne of Wakanda, just like T'Challa. Erik didn't understand of what just happened and he immediately became ready to fight but when he looked around he was astonished to his peak. Everybody present belonged to the Avengers. He knew that all hi former training would amount to nothing with literally 'Gods' being present here.
"What do you want from me?" Killmonger asked as he didn't understand why he was caught and brought here. John could find Erik because now he had cosmic awareness. John could find anyone that he wished for in all of universe, and even multiverses. Even some weak 'Gods'. The magic of the helmet of Fate gave him many powers, this was one of them.
"Who is this guy?" Steve asked.
"Erik Stevens, heir to the throne of Wakanda. Since Wakanda doesn't want to say what it wants I will bring the truth out myself." John said,
"Heir to the throne? Do you want to replace the king with him?" Banner asked as he knew how monarchy worked.
"That depends on him. Erik, don't you wan revenge. This would be your chance." John said.
"How do you know of my inheritance?" Killmonger was surprised that a person who wore a weird golden helmet knew of him and even his inheritance. But, yes Erik did wish fro vengeance for killing his father.
"It doesn't matter how I know. Just say if you want revenge." John asked again.
"Yes. I want him to pay for killing my father." Erik replied.
"Good. Everybody suit up. This might not be a smooth journey." John said.
"Are you going to make a coup in the throne of Wakanda. Is that even required?" Rhodes.
"Wakanda had been hidden in shadows for a long time. They are the most advanced country in the world. You saw the vibranium. Vibranium was a meteorite that struck their country centuries ago. That metal empowered them and made them possess technology far ahead of other countries. What we see from outside is just a facade. A hologram. A city covered by it. Their technology is way ahead than you can even imagine." John said.
