"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.

John smiled at the end when he saw such overwhelming negativity for Magneto. The story here was following exactly like it was supposed to.
"Alright then good luck on your fight against the powerful rulers." John said as they had decided to confront Magneto and his group of villains like Namor, Dr. Doom and other mutants which were very close and loyal to him.
"Wait, you didn't say if Magneto is responsible for all of this." Emma asked.
"You all are responsible for all that is happening. You are no better than Erik. So you don't get to judge someone for this. You all wanted to kill her and now she has retaliated. Does it matter who initiated this whole drama? At the end you all decided to kill her just because she was more powerful than all of you together."
"How does it make you different than the humans who hates mutants? Humans want your deaths because you are powerful than them. And you want her death because she had become more powerful than all of you to handle." John said. This guilt trip was a way to dodge the main question of the responsibility of Magneto.
He didn't want to ruin the plot now as they have come so close.
"That's not true. She doesn't have control over her powers. She was losing sanity. We had to bring an end to her." Strange denied.
"Really Strange? Really? Didn't I say I have seen the past and the future. I have seen so many worlds of you all that you can't even begin to comprehend. I have seen how you all react to any beings that become way too powerful for you all to handle. So don't you dare say such words to me. You all are just afraid of her. Afraid that she will over power you easily. You have deluded yourself to think that what you are doing is for the good of all."
"But actually it was your own insecurity. Your incompetence. And of course you have a God complex. So do whatever the f**k you want. I will just watch the whole game and laugh." John said.
All became silent when John spoke out so clearly and took out the deepest secrets from their hearts. They really were scared of her and that was the reason they decided to kill her. They convinced themselves that it was not, but at the end most of them felt insecure with her sitting at the top.
Nobody spoke any word to refute. Tony wanted to refute but was stopped by Ms. Marvel. Whatever he had said was absolutely correct.
"Now go. Change your reality." John said as he vanished. He didn't want to be around them. He had spoken too much. His anger took the better of him and made him utter words that he shouldn't have. It actually pi**ed him off a bit seeing them acting all high and mighty.
It reminded him of Strange and Black Priests, who came with such a grandeur. He really wanted to see him again and beat him. Nobody gets to decide who lives and who dies just because the balance tilted a bit in the universal scale.
John appeared again near the whole gala that Erik Magnus had arranged. This gala was a congratulatory one for being the head of the ruling government. No matter what, the world created by Wanda was close to perfect.
Even though the homo sapiens were discriminated against, at the end any weak race would be looked down upon. In this world all the mutants lived in harmony and had proper order all around.
"This is as close to utopia as it can get. Sad that all will come crashing down." John mumbled. He was looking over everything from high up after wearing the Hades cap of invisibility from his treasury so that he wouldn't be detected by any sentinels or mutants.
John was a little scared that his words might have changed the thoughts of the new team that had just formed but was relieved to see that the team really did come to fight Magneto and his friends.
John looked as sentinels came crashing down. And thus the war began.
The new Avengers vs The classic villains.
"Magneto, you have violated the basic fabric of reality. And for this you will die today." Wolverine shouted.
"Who dares to say such blasphemous words against me." Magnus asked but when he saw that the people who showed up were some of his closest friends he got confused. But since they attacked first, he needed to retaliate to keep his image of Lord Magnus.
The war was brutal. Heroes and villains fell left and right. There was blood all over. Namor, Victor Doom, the other mutant kinds and sentinels fought against a huge team of new Avengers.
John who was seeing this didn't have any expression. He didn't want to interfere, at least not now.
But as he was watching this he felt a weird calling in his mind. A call which even reflected in his soul.
