And thus by the mid of April when everything was settled, the new building of Teen Titans was ready. All of the Teen Titans moved to the building and as Peter was asked to join, he too showed up.
Nightwing and Starfire were very welcoming as usual and all the members were good to get along with. Even though Damian and Raven didn't talk much with him, they were accepting of him.
Peter was happy that now he had a team and could save people more efficiently. Even though the presence of Pokemon made the world a lot safer, accidents and crimes were still there so superheroes were still required around.
John kept an eye on the Teen Titans for sometime after they got integrated. He didn't know how the people would react to it but was relieved to see that the appearance of Teen Titans in the streets of New York didn't actually cause a lot of discussion. People were more accepting of it.
The presence of Pokemon was of great help. Many situations were solved. John was happy with such integration in the society by the Pokemon and even few gyms have opened around the world. The trainers were selected by Professors. So whoever got selected as trainers were good ones.
Even though they were not as good as the original world, slowly and steadily they would reach there. The days went by with the Teen Titans doing their superhero things while John and others got busy with their own work.
Tony was now hellbent on improving his armor. He already had Vibranium armor and wanted to improve on it. One day John went to his lab to see what was going on with Tony's research out of curiosity as he had cooped inside the laboratory for a long time.
"How's the research?"
"Working on it. I might have to travel in space to find more suitable metals?" Tony said.
"Isn't Vibranium enough?" John asked, confused as Vibranium was one of the strongest metals in the universe.
"It is good. But I feel it's not strong enough. Vibranium can't stop Black Winter. I need better versions." Tony said. John contemplated it and suddenly one kind of metal that might be available on Earth.
"Tony I am not sure if it's here or not, but you can search in the Antarctic for a new kind of metal. The metal is called Antarctic Vibranium. It can literally melt metals when brought close to it. There might be a deposit of it on Earth."
"Heh. Liquefaction of metals when brought close to it? Are you sure about it?" Tony asked now surprised. John's knowledge of things surprised him and he wondered sometimes how many more stories he had hidden.
"I am not sure, you can go and search. There is this metal in other universes. I am just not sure if it's present here. It is essentially anti-metal."
"Got it, I will look into it. Will bring my Pokemons for search. Since it can melt metals I shouldn't bring any metal compound I guess. This will be a headache. Now I have to be a plastic man?"
"You can figure that yourself. Antarctica is cold so good luck with that." John said with a devilish smile.
After Tony got the idea he contacted Bruce to come with him in this expedition. And since this whole expedition might help them upgrade themselves he agreed to join. Thus they both set off to Antarctica without taking any outside help.
Tony built equipment that didn't have any metals to combat the Anti - Metal if it ever existed in Antarctica. It was cold there so he had to make proper gears and everything to combat the cold. This search would take a lot of time so they had to be ready. He even asked Guilty Spark to be on standby to rescue them if anything went south in this expedition.
Tony and Bruce set off while John got busy with his own work. Ragnarok was approaching and he needed to save Asgard too. He couldn't let a sheep that gave him wool all year round to just die. This would be his first combat against destiny and prophecy and he was determined to change it.
The days went by and soon it was October. John had amassed quite a lot of fan values in the last few months. Even though he didn't require any fan values right now, he still wanted to introduce new people. On a fine day, John teleported to Kamar Taj. He needed to talk with the Ancient One about the Ragnarok of Asgard.
Odin didn't leave Earth after he came to the Ring to discuss the Black Winter. He needed to talk to Odin too about the future of Asgard and for Thor's future. John was sure that Thor would notice that his father was missing and catch Loki impersonating his father and sitting on the throne.
