"Never knew you had this in you." Clint joked.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures." Wayne said.
As they were discussing this it was time for the post credits scene. The post credits scene started with Darkseid being in a liquid chamber where his eyes were healed. And showing DeSaad standing outside.
"My lord, while transforming the Kryptonian called Clark Kent we found out that our toxins will get a boost and can help in transforming our Parademons into Kryptonian like creatures."
There was silence from the chamber but after sometime Darkseid said.
"Capture him at all costs. I need the Anti-Life equation."
"Yes my Lord." DeSaad said as he receded back to the darkness. With that the movie ended. The audience who were present in the hall gave a standing ovation for showing such a good action film. They didn't expect that a Justice League movie would have so much action and drama. The post credits scene especially gave the people chills and more anticipation for the next movie.
John was happy to see the reception. Such good reception would only boost his fan values. He had been accumulating a lot of fan values recently in the hopes that there would be another update soon. Even though bringing a very powerful world was also in his cards, he hadn't decided as of yet what kind of world he would bring.
As they came out watching the movie Peter Parker who was discussing the movie excitedly with the other members of Teen Titans and getting sad that they were never involved in the movie suddenly froze in his spot.
"Peter. What's wrong? Is everything all right?" Dick asked. Peter who froze in his spot held his head with both his hands and fell on his knees.
"Peter.." Garfield who was near him and kind of best buddy with Parker held him in his arms.
Everybody who was having a good time after getting out turned their heads to see what the commotion was. Clark went up to him and asked.
"Peter. Are you alright?" After a few moments of silence and Peter sweating he said
"I am fine.. I am fine.. Thank you... It's just that my tingle thing went haywire. I am not sure why. It's like something bad is happening somewhere." Peter said.
"Oh. You should check on your aunt. See if she is alright." Starfire said as Peter's tingle thing could only mean danger or sudden change of events. John who was nearby just looked into Aunt May so see if she was alright.
"Aunt May is alright. There is nothing in danger on Earth. Peter, are you sure your spider-sense is working correctly?" John asked as he just checked on everything. He even used his power to see deep inside the earth. Only in a few cases Peter's spider-sense tended to go awry. And Unmaker was one of them. So John had to see if the Unmaker was sleeping in the core of Earth.
Peter sighed in relief when John said. he was scared for his aunt. He only had her in his life. The only living relative of his.
"I don't know. For a few seconds my tingle thing.. Wait, you named my tingle as spider-sense. Is that what it's name is.. Cool." Peter said going off topic again.
"Peter, focus." Damian butted him.
"Yes.. Yes.. I mean no.. I don't know why I felt so weird with my spider-sense. It was like I felt death." Peter said. John then checked his life force and it was vibrant as ever.
"Hmm. You are fine physically and mentally Peter. You will stay in the Teen Titans headquarters with your Aunt May for now. Since your spider-sense notified you of something, it must be really important. Teen Titans will be under strict security until we find out why Peter felt it."
"Huh.. John why this precaution? Aren't we making a huge matter of this small thing?" Bruce asked as all others were surprised that John gave such strict orders. Even Parker himself felt weird as John had such high regard for his power, though he was happy too. As he felt himself being important.
"There is a Spider-Man in every known universe. And there is a reason for this. So yes, his spider-sense is important. Since his spider-sense notified him of something. It must be of high priority. Avengers will be on alert from now." John replied.
"Every known universe? Peter must be really important. Peter, I gave you the nano-suit. Keep it with you at all times." Tony said.
"Yes sir." Peter said with a smile but his face showed he still didn't take this seriously. All went home but everybody was on high alert for the rest of the day. GAIA and John were on the lookout for any potential danger. But nothing happened. But then a piece of news broke out. This news was not something even John expected.
It was the murder of a person.
The murder of T'Challa, the Black Panther.

When John came to know of this news he was surprised. Not because of the fact that T'Challa was killed but because he didn't 'see' it happening with his own eyes. He had to check once again to see if T'Challa really died or was it just a scam.
He was more surprised to see that T'Challa had really died. He didn't know how this happened and it escaped his eyes. Now he knew that more powerful forces were at play than it seemed. First it was the spider sense and now this murder. He needed to check on this.
"Bruce, we will have to investigate this.' John said. When he said this he was already near Bruce at his home. Wayne was checking up on the news of T'Challa's death too. Alfred was nearby making coffee for Bruce.
"Tony was right. It is annoying when you tend to show up everywhere." Wayne said even though it didn't seem like he was scare-jumped by the sudden appearance of John.
"You seem to be alright. Want to take a tour?" John said again without caring for the words of Wayne. His omnipresence allowed him to be anywhere and everywhere at the same time.
"Alright. let's leave. Alfred, you can keep the coffee for yourself and drink it." Wayne said before vanishing with John.

Birnin Zana, Wakanda
Suri was in tears in the lap of her mother. Her mother too had red eyes. Okoye was standing near them with a very sad face. Nobody expected their beloved king to be dead. The body of T'Challa was in the casket in front of them. (pardon my ignorance in the funeral rituals of Africa. I have no idea of them or any funeral rituals of that matter)
A guard came up to Okoye and whispered something in her ears. Okoye, who was already sad, looked like she would lose herself in anger for a moment before calming down.
"Tell them that they are not invited. They can go back." Okoye said.
"Yes." the guard was returning back.
"What's the matter Okoye?" the Queen asked.
"Queen Mother, Two members of Avengers are here." Okoye said with anger on her face. They still haven't forgotten the insult they all faced when they showed up. Their previous King was still in prison for this.
"Tell them to come in." The Queen ordered.
"But..." Okoye said.
"What they did before was our own fault. No matter what had happened they had been defending our Earth from all dangers. That itself is commendable. Let them in." the Queen Mother said. Okoye then ordered the guard who was stopped before leaving accepted the order and went to bring the two members of the Avengers.
Soon the guard was back with John and Batman. Bruce's identity was still top secret so he had worn the batsuit while John no longer cared. The High level officials already knew of his other identity and he didn't bother to hide just for the name of it.
John and Wayne came near the casket of T'Challa and looked at it. He was a little bit sad about his death. As a character in both his lives, T'Challa was dead. One died of cancer and another was killed. Maybe he was too harsh on Wakanda because they poked him the other way.
John could have brought T'Challa to life but it might rub Death the wrong way. So he didn't want to be on the wrong side. He wasn't sure whose department it was when it came to death and afterlife, so he didn't want to antagonise anyone with a small move of his.
"I am sorry for your loss and whatever happened to your son." John said after sitting opposite the Queen Mother. The Queen whose eyes were still wet just nodded at him. Wayne on the other hand stood opposite to her and asked
"How was he killed?"
"There were two puncture wounds on his chest. It went straight through his lungs and heart." Okoye said. Even though she was angry at the Avengers she knew that since the Avengers were here it meant that the murder must be really important to them.
"There was no security with him? No Pokemon?" John asked. He saw many people here had Pokemons now so he expected T'Challa too to have one.
"Luxray normally stays with him but yesterday he was inside the Pokeball sleeping. So when he was murdered he never knew." Okoye said. John also checked the memories of this to testify whatever Okoye said was right.
"Can we check the body? This case is important for us." John said. Okoye looked at the Queen. She didn't want to let them desecrate the body of their King.
"Yes. But please make it fast and not desecrate his body. I hope you can find the killer. With all our advancement of technology we have no idea how this happened. We are keeping no stone unturned to find the killer. May you be able to get a head start."
