Steve Rogers got to meet his other version and they both had almost the same ideals so they got along well. Clint also had a vivid interaction with his other version.
Natasha was the one who was surprised to see such a powerful version of herself.
"So you are going around the universe saving people?" 616-Natasha asked.
"We are supposed to but the Green Lanterns have prohibited us as our spectrum only works for hope. Hal and others are more responsible for this." Natasha said as she pointed out to Hal who was interacting with the members of other Avengers.
"Are there other colored lanterns in your universe?" 616-Natasha asked as she got more curious about how her power worked.
"There is supposed prophecy on that, which is supposed to happen in future but as of now there are no such other colored lanterns in our universe."
Wanda and 616-Wanda had a weird conversation. Wanda of their universe was still happy while 616-Wanda was still ridden with guilt with what she did. Wanda tried her best to console her and told her how she was trained by the witches of their universe and her journey in controlling her powers.
The whole gathering went on for sometime. Though at the start they came in fear but in the end, the native Avengers got relaxed as they understood that John and his friends weren't inherently bad and didn't have as much pride as they thought.
John meanwhile with the Fantastic 4 went to meet Dr. Doom in another secured room. Victor was a colleague of Reed so they went way back even though they had been on each other's throats for a long time. Doom was still in cuffs and unconscious. John woke him up by injecting some life force into him.
He groggily opened his eyes only to his most hated enemy and an unknown person looking at him. He felt pain in all his body as he tried moving. He could feel that many of his bones were broken and it was really a miracle that he was alive.
His eyes spewed anger and hatred as he saw his old enemy and he felt that the long lost Fantastic 4 was back after making a disappearing act for more than a year.
"Friend, you look like you have gone through hell." Reed said to Doom as he tried joking with him.
"You must be really happy Reed, seeing me half dead. You have been my enemy for such a long time. Now you sent your lackeys against me. That is low even for you." Doom said after coughing quite a bit. Reed shook his head and said.
"They weren't lackeys who beat you up. They were the Avengers from a parallel universe. And truthfully you deserve a more brutal take down than what you got. You committed war crimes Victor!! Even I can't save you from that." Reed said.
"Haah.. These people needed better governance than what they were getting in those weak governments. I liberated them." Victor said.
"So just because their governance was weak you invaded other countries and killed hundreds of innocent people." John asked with a very tranquil tone.
"A necessary sacrifice for a better future." Dr. Doom said.
"So you meant to say since they are weak they needed to be controlled?" John asked.
"I have seen how the mutants were hunted by just regular people. Just because their numbers were more, the mutants were discriminated against. I don't want such a notion in my country and it is my responsibility to show people that only strength rules over everything." Dr. Doom said with conviction.
"You are right. Strength has the final say." John said as he clenched his fist. Victor, who was already half dead, screamed in pain as he levitated a few feet high in the air.
And then with an aloud burst his body exploded, splattering blood and pieces of flesh everywhere in the room.
"No..."
Reed shouted when he saw his old friend dead within a moment before he could do anything. Susan Storm ( Invisible Girl), Johnny Storm (Human Torch) and Ben Grimm (the Thing) who were with them also cried out seeing Doom face such a gruesome death.
"You.." Ben shouted and punched at John. And as his punch hit John in his face he was stopped in his tracks. It was as if Ben just punched a very strong pillar which could stop the huge strength of his.
"I didn't see that much anger in you when he committed war crimes against the innocents." John said as he waved his hand. Ben was thrown a few metres away with John's telekinetic powers. Susan conjured a force field to cushion the impact of Ben's body on the ground.
Johnny and Reed both were ready to attack John to take revenge for Dr. Doom.
"You don't get to be the judge, jury and executioner when you yourself are responsible for the war crimes when you decided to de-power all the Avengers." Reed shouted at John.

All came running by hearing the commotion from another room. When they arrived, everybody didn't expect to see such a gory scene with blood splattered everywhere. When they all saw the missing body of Dr. Doom, all came to realise that he was killed.
"You are responsible for all the deaths and destruction that is happening on Earth. And now you blame another person for your own wrongdoing. You are nothing but an egotistical maniac. Too much power has corrupted you and now just because we can't do anything to you, we are being bullied." Reed said as he accused John.
"You reach that conclusion just because I killed Dr. Doom?" John asked as he gave all a smile.
"Of course. You have all the characteristics of a tyrant."
By then the 616-Avengers and the John's Avengers were separated from each other, showing who took whose side. Though the Avengers didn't understand why he killed Dr. Doom, the Avengers supported him. Moreover, he deserved nothing but death penalty for all the war crimes he committed.
"At least I am not a fraud like you." John said.
"Who are you calling fraud? We are legitimate superheroes of the Earth. Sure, we did a little bit of politics along the way but the people of Earth didn't deserve the trauma you have put us through." Scott Lang, the Ant-man said.
"Who among you think what I did was responsible for whatever happened in the absence of Avengers?" John asked the 616-Avengers. There was a complete silence when John asked that. In the end many feared him and they didn't want to suffer more in his hands.
After a moment of complete silence many raised their hands. Scott Lang. Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, Elektra were few of the ones to raise their hands.
"Che.. You gave them their powers back but still they are so ungrateful." Arthur said in a low voice.
"It was our power to begin with. It is our right on how we use it. At least we don't bring deaths to people like your super friend here." Elektra said in a sharp tone. Arthur listening to this was almost ready to throw his trident on her but Mera stopped it.
John, on the other hand, was still silent and just looked at Reed. Reed managed to polarise his own team into two camps. One that felt guilty and was afraid of retaliation from John and another who hated John and his team. They felt humiliated and insulted to be in the same room as the Avengers of John.
"Sigh, you know Kl'rt, the last time I met one of your species I annihilated them and I specifically asked them to be away from Earth. Seems like your communication between subordinates is very shallow." John said looking at Reed.
Reed squinted his eyes when John called him Kl'rt. It was because Kl'rt was his actual name.
A Skrull.
A super Skrull, who had infiltrated into the Avengers in order to take over Earth. When John met Skrulls last time he warned them to stop their advance and take over Earth. When the 616-Avengers came for the meeting John could already see that many of them were deviants-Skrulls.
The Skrulls didn't have the actual intel on John so they had no idea who he was and what exactly was his power. The mishap in that barren planet was overlooked by both Kree and Skrulls. The Super Skrulls had replaced many members of the Avengers by this point and the actual Avengers were thrown to prison with maximum security in many different bases.
"What? Don't want to say anything against me calling you Kl'rt? Do you want me to annihilate all of the Skrulls that are present in the room, to jog your memory through the war of Kree vs Skrull?" John continued.
In response, Reed took out a futuristic looking gun from his pocket and pointed at John. Many other Avengers did the same thing and pointed their guns which looked the same as Reed's.
The rest of the 616-Avengers were surprised by the sudden change of situation where they saw their own friends pointing guns at them. They were confused because only a few people knew of the Skrulls. The few people here are0000 the Illuminati.
"You are Skrulls? I thought we specifically warned you not to mess with us." 616-Tony said as he equipped himself with armor. Seeing that guns were being pointed at them the Avengers who were not Skrulls also took defensive poses to confront these 'fake' friends.
Though they had no idea what was going on, since they took up arms, the real ones needed to retaliate.
"I didn't think that you were that powerful. Even though we heard the rumors, seeing is believing I guess." Kl'rt said as all the Skrulls turned themselves into their original faces
