Kapitel 442: Announcement

By night everyone was back and Wayne had brought a thoroughly beaten up Doom. He had been expanding non-stop since he realised that there were no more avengers. And war on other countries always comes at a cost.

When Clark and Wayne realised what Doom had been doing, they both didn't hold back in messing him up. When Fury and 616- Tony saw the dents on the metallic armor of Dr. Doom, they were surprised that Dr. Doom was still alive after the brutal shakedown.

When Wayne arrived he looked at Fury and said

"I am disappointed in you, Fury. If my SHIELD is anything like yours I will disband it immediately."

"Your SHIELD?..." Fury was confused by the words of a man who dressed like a bat. He had no recount of any such superhero.

"He is Bruce Wayne, the current Secretary of SHIELD." John introduced him. Fury was taken aback. He never expected such a powerful person to be in such a high position and even superior to himself.

"Secretary. Uhh... hello... Thank you for bringing down Dr. Doom." Fury replied, trying to defuse the tense situation in the room.

"Boss, this world is all kinds of messed up." Natasha said while switching herself to normal suit after deactivating her lantern powers.

"Natasha? What happened to you? What is this power?" Fury asked as he could recognize Natasha but not the blue suit she wore and the whole element of flying around. Fury was curious about this new power.

616-Tony just looked at the whole team of Avengers from afar and hung his head in shame and insult.

"I thought you would be out cold the whole day?" Tony said to 616-Tony.

"You think so? Why don't we don't we go for a round if I get the suits." 616-Tony said

"Really? Let us go for a round after you get your intelligence back, Then we will see who comes out on top." Tony said as he wanted to prove that he was better than the main Earth version of himself.

"Yeah, like your friend here will ever give us our power back!!" 616 - Tony said. Tony just smiled at him when he said that but didn't continue.

"Victor set up the camera here. I need to say something to the people of Earth." John said. Victor nodded his head and went to set up a settings of camera for broadcasting to all the people of Earth.

They arranged seats for everybody to sit so that the people would be able to see everyone. 616-Tony just looked as these invaders did whatever they wanted in his own home, but he couldn't protest, though he was curious about what he wanted to tell the people of the earth.

Soon the video started and the live broadcast appeared on every television, computer and mobile screens taking over all electronic screens in the planet. The people of the world stopped by this sudden change and took over their screens.

And the video changed to a few men and women sitting on their seats like a half round table around the camera. Some of them could recognize that these were the people who had been fighting crimes all day. So, many got excited thinking that this announcement would be the announcement of new Avengers as they could see some familiar faces among them.

Tony Stark was one.

The man in the middle finally spoke up.

"Hello citizens of Earth. My name is John Jameson and these are my friends. Some of you might have seen my friends fighting crimes in the videos shared on the Internet today. I am here to confirm that the filth of the Earth has been cleansed today. Though we didn't kill the villains, we made sure that they would not be able to get up from their beds for a very long time."

All the people cheered when John said those words. There had been speculation that new heroes had popped up and would save the world again as always.

"But I am sorry to say that we are not here to save you." Now there was a complete silence.

"We are here to remind you all of your crimes, your prejudice, your arrogance. All these years all you have done is live under the protection of Avengers. That had made you arrogant. Thinking that no matter what these heroes will come to save you. Thinking that the morality of these heroes will always tilt on the right side."

"Just because most of you don't have powers like the Avengers or the mutants, your sheer numbers allowed you to bully them as you all wished. Hold them in contempt as you felt like it. Hunted the mutants when their numbers were not so high."

"How about now? After more than a year of absence of Avengers how do you feel now with all the villains running riots on the streets and nobody was there to stop them. How does it feel to live in fear of being hunted?"

There will be double uploads tomorrow if there are more than 350 power stone donations by the end of the day.

Thank you.
