Chapter 355: Assembling (2)
"Did you forget that he is dead?" John chimed in. Everyone became sad when John said this. They remembered that he was dead years ago. John finally introduced himself and said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Scott and Emma believed him because he had helped Logan too so they didn't question his authenticity.
"Let's go, we need to assemble a team." Wolverine said after all got their bearings.
Next stop.
Peter Parker.
As John and others appeared in their apartment, Emma didn't hold back and directly transferred the memories of Wolverine to him. Among all the cries and breakdowns that John saw, Parker was hit the hardest. He knew that if he went back to reality, he would lose his son, a married life and above all his uncle Ben.
Parker actually needed a little convincing to side with them. He really didn't want to go back, but he knew that this wasn't his reality.
Thus one by one joined for the cause, as John teleported to various places to get a team for Wolverine. She-Hulk ( cousin of Bruce Banner, apparently she was injected with the Hulk blood making her She-Hulk and this new form never changed her back to human form. A new series of her is arriving this year on Disney+. Though it might be a totally new origin story. Oh yes she was in a relationship with Eros for a long time) , Daredevil, Iron Man.. A totally new team.
At first many didn't believe Emma but when Layla came to unlock the memories, they saw how this world was all kinds of messed up.
Soon a big team was formed and they were in the room where the Resistance had the headquarters. All of the members of the team had a very serious look. John was surprised to see that here too RDJ was the face of Iron Man.
"We will need Strange for this. Only he can control Wanda." Tony said.
"Yes we do. Even I need to talk with him." John said.
"Is the person Strange that you came to see here?" She-Hulk asked.
"Strange? No. I am here for another guy. But me and Strange of this universe go way back. I need some answers from him." John replied.
"Huh. Have you met Strange of our universe before? He never mentioned you. You are almost an omega level mutant." Scott said.
"I am not a mutant. My powers work differently. And trust me when I say this, you haven't seen actual omega level mutants and mutants above them. They will make you cry with no tears." John said to Scott as he remembered in the future in one storyline Scott came in contact with one and almost lost his life.
"There are omega level mutants in your universe?" Emma asked now curious. She wanted to see inside John's head but him wearing the helmet always prevented her from doing so. She always felt something fish about him. She got charmed by him even though she had never seen his face. This notion alone made her scared.
"We don't have mutants in our universe. Only Avengers but it's a very different Avengers. More different than you can imagine. Enough about us. Let's go and meet Strange."
John, Tony, Emma and Layla travelled to the Sanctum Sanctorum to meet Strange. He was a doctor in this reality. When they appeared in his home, Strange was reading a book and having a good time.
Strange got scared after the sudden emergence of a few people in his room. Before he could react Emma froze him with telepathic powers. And then Layla went and awoke his memories of his previous life.
As she did so, Strange's attire changed. As the Cloak of Levitation and Eye of Agamotto (not the same Eye of Agamotto in the Doctor Strange movies, this item actually has its own power and only the Sorcerer Supreme can wear it)
Those items were in his storage. Scarlet Witch could change realities but some items couldn't be easily changed.
"You back with us Strange?" Tony asked.
"Yes. I am back. This is a nightmare." Strange said. John didn't say anything but directly went and held him by his collar lifting him up.
"John. What the hell.. What are you doing? He is with us." Tony exclaimed.
"I am here getting some answers." John said as he saw Strange struggling. The Cloak was trying to separate John and Strange but it failed to do so. John was very strong now physically.
"Who are you? What do you want? I don't remember you from my memories." Strange asked but in a very calm tone.
"Me? You forgot me? After the s**t you pulled in my universe. Answer me Strange. How did you let this happen?" John asked.

Chapter 356: Magneto
"I don't even know you." Strange said as he finally used magic to get away from John. John didn't attack Strange again and just looked at him closely. He was trying to find out if Strange was lying. John even used small mental manipulation and his charm to get any hint that Strange was lying but didn't find anything.
"You really don't remember me?" John asked.
"No. I seriously don't. Who are you?" Strange asked.
"Somebody who has a grudge against you. Will you mind if I look into your past a bit?" John asked.
"That is a violation of my privacy." Strange denied access. John could look into a person's future using magic but that would require the other person's approval. John sighed, he wanted to know what Strange did to make himself completely forget.
"Strange, did anything happen to you in 2016?" John asked.
"2016? No, it was the same as every other year. Fighting villains. Wait. There was one day, I can't remember. I have a photographic memory so I always remember everything. But that day is totally black to me." Strange said as he too had felt it weird for quite some time.
John now was in a thought. He could only speculate that Strange of this universe got visitors. Then after joining Black Priests he came to John's universe but was brutally beaten down. And since every Earth needs a Sorcerer Supreme, he came back and made a copy of himself and sent him to be the magical guardian of Earth.
Since the Priest Strange can never be in any universe and needed to be on the side of balance, he chose to go with the Black Priests and leave his copy here with all his previous memories.
Only this would fit the explanation. John surprisingly couldn't find Strange even using his multiversal cosmic awareness. He didn't have any evidence to prove this theory but that is the only theory that could be speculated.
And this Strange even had his arms back!
"I have an idea of what has happened to you, but I would rather not go into it. You all have enough of a headache to deal with." John said.
"John, does Strange owe you money or something? I can pay you if he has borrowed." Tony said in his classical and mocking tone.
"I am richer than you. So no, I don't care about money. Anyway, since Strange is here, let's go back. I think you all have a lot to discuss." John said. And then with Strange they vanished and came back to the Resistance headquarters.
"Was that magic?" Strange asked.
"Yes." John replied. Strange had never seen such kind of magic before. It seemed like it worked on a different theory altogether.
Strange wanted to research more on it, but he needed time for that, and this was definitely not a good time to talk about it. They have a mission to fulfill.
Finally the meeting started. Tony, She-Hulk, Spiderman, Daredevil, Luke, Moon Knight, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel and many others have joined now.
"I am sure that it was Magneto who did this. Only he can do such absurd things. He had always wanted to be the leader of mutants. And now his daughter fulfilled his wishes." Wolverine said.
"Yes, only he could be so twisted enough to do such kind of perversions." Ms. Marvel said.
"Who among you think that it was Magneto who asked Wanda to change reality? Please raise your hands." John interrupted this time from the side. He did not exactly join the meeting.
He had decided to be a watcher of sorts for this whole story, and see if the ending was what he expected.
"Huh. Why do you say this? Is it not Magneto?" Tony asked. They all wanted to decipher this new guy who claimed to have come from a different universe.
Emma actually said telepathically to all that after the settlement of Wanda they would have to ask this new guy about why he was here. She always felt that this guy was dangerous. John still hadn't revealed why he came to this universe.
"I am just asking a normal question. You can raise your hand if you think it's Magneto. If not then don't raise your hand. It's simple as that." John refused to answer the previous question.
Almost everybody raised their hands except for Moon Knight, Emma and Strange. John was surprised to see so much hatred for Magneto. Truth to be said he felt pity for Erik. All he ever wanted was a safe place for mutants.
He understood long ago that mutants would never be seen in good eyes and thus had always been fighting for the mutant-kind. While Charles advocated the use of diplomacy.
John could never say who was right and who was wrong, but Erik being portrayed as the culprit here was totally wrong. He wasn't even responsible for all the things that were going on.
A world where his close friend Xavier didn't exist would be all kinds of wrong for Erik.
