While John and Fury were talking, the other Avengers have gone to different parts of the planet to take care of the criminals. Wayne and Clark flew to Latveria to take care of Doctor Doom. They didn't have GAIA here Victor ran point and directed everyone to take the best course of action.
Since Doctor Doom was the most powerful villain, Victor sent them to his country. While the people who can fly and teleport were sent to various regions of the planet.
Arthur and Mera were sent to Atlantis to handle the unstable situation there as Namor had lost his powers and the kingdom was in jeopardy.
Tony and others were left to take care of the whole of America while the mages were sent to the rest of the regions. The Avengers followed the words of John because if John came up and did the dirty work it would be too easy for him.
Since he had brought everybody for vacation, the other members wanted to move their muscles and this was the only way the Avengers could exercise their powers. Fury was keeping an eye on what was happening in the world since John here had sent his friends.
And in an hour or so the reports finally started arriving with footage of John's friends. And Fury seeing them realized that John was right. His Avengers were more powerful than the Avengers they had the last time. Even though there were only a few people, what they didn't have in quantity, they made in quality.
What shook him was the fight between Doom and two of John's friends. Their powers were identical but the sheer strength they possessed made these two one of the most powerful beings he had ever seen in human form.
Doom was caught in 5 or 6 moves and he was taken down in the most brutal way possible. John had ordered them to bring Doom to him. John needed to talk with him. While the Teen Titans took care of New York which they normally did in their own Earth, the rest were spread out.
Spiderman even had a face off against Kingpin and other famous villains of New York who had been running riot everywhere. And Teen Titans brought them down in a matter of minutes.
Soon the social media was flooded with videos and pictures of new people fighting the villains that had been plaguing everywhere. And they finally saw some relief as there were new people now to handle the villains. The people cheered for them when they got to know this.
As Fury got more videos of John's friends, the more he was surprised. Though there were familiar faces among them, there was a lot of difference. These new people had different kinds of gears and weird animals that had different powers.
"So these are Pokemons?" Fury asked when looking at them while showing them to John.
"Yes." John said. He expected them to use Pokemons. They normally didn't use them but when it came to such situations where the risk was low, they all brought out their friends to have some fun around and see a new world.
Fury's eyes were full of yearning after seeing these Pokemons. John had said that their world was full of these animals and he wanted to get his hand on them but he was sure John wouldn't allow even touching them, forget about catching them.
This process of cleansing went for a full day and at night all had returned back to Tony's home. Tony had woken up after being healed by Audino and becoming sober. John expected him to lash out again but surprisingly he was silent and just sat in his place looking around blankly.
"Tony, have you lost your purpose just because you lost your intelligence?" John asked.
"Intelligence is all I had and you took that away from me. How should I have a purpose in life when I lost the only prized possession I have and you expect me to return to being the same?" Tony asked with glaring eyes.
"Did Steve Rogers have powers before he became Captain America or did Peter Parker was less of a man before he became Spider-Man? Our powers don't define us. If you are nothing without your intelligence then maybe you shouldn't have it." John said, returning the famous quotes to Tony himself to him.
Tony became silent when he heard that. He didn't have words to refute. He hated John but when John appeared again, he couldn't bring himself to punch him. Tony in his core knew why John had done what he did. They had become arrogant and a self serving team and they deserved what they got.
Though many would not admit it, he was sure that all felt the same deep in their hearts .
