"GAIA, have there been any problems recently that the people of Earth have faced as a whole?" John asked.
"Technically, the people of Earth are very happy. They have a much better life, the poor now have access to education and much better health facilities. Thanks to Umbrella, even in poor countries, the med pods have been a huge success. The introduction of Pokemon has led people to be more enthusiastic about knowledge of them which in turn helps them in education purposes. And there is an ample source of clean energy for all, thanks to the solar receptors of Umbrella. Oil has almost become obsolete." GAIA replied as she recounted all the things that John and his company had brought to earth.
"What about the people that had been working in the oil sector? Have they been given chances in other sectors?" John asked.
"Not all, but 95% of these people have found the same kinds of jobs which are related to the energy sector. The other 5% have moved to Mars to help build a better society there." GAIA replied.
"That's good. The economy is stable now. But you mentioned technically, are there any hidden problems?" John asked.
"Not exactly, but now the people feel that Earth has become too small for all to handle and many are already contemplating on leaving Earth and establishing a colony outside the solar system which would be suitable. Due to the massive amount of Pokemons and their habitats, the real estate prices has risen up by 200% making the average person feel suffocated and with no place to live." GAIA mentioned.
"So we are facing a loss of places to live." John mumbled.
"Connect me to all the Avengers."
And soon after a few minutes all the major Avenger members appeared in a translucent screen near John in a row surrounding him.
"It's been some time since, Avengers." John said.
"Yeah. You are coming to our wedding right?" Steve was the first to reply.
"Of course. Where will it take place?" John asked.
"New York. Where it all started from me." Steve replied.
"That's cool."
"Hello... We exist.. You call and ignore us... That's rude." Tony spoke out.
"You all are invited to the wedding." Steve paying no heed to the mockery of Tony said.
"We will be there.."
"Who is your best man? Bucky.." Banner asked.
Steve nodded his head.
"Expected.." Victor said.
"Why are we called by the way?" Arthur asked as from the start of the meeting itself they could tell that it wasn't an emergency. Normally, John was their alarm sounds. When he calls, it is mostly because there is a threat that needs oversight by the Avengers but this time it wasn't.
"Heard the real estate prices have gone up." John said.
"Real estate prices? Why? Does Umbrella want to join the real estate market? Heard the prices have gone up significantly. My wife was saying her sister couldn't find any good and decent place to live on the West Coast." Clint replied.
"Yeah. I was thinking of seeing a good home to live on Earth. My Avenger salary isn't enough to cover that. I should be looting my next prisoner.." Natasha said.
"I heard we are facing a lack of land to live in due to the introduction of Pokemons. That's a sad affair." Banner said.
"I called you all here to remedy this situation." John finally said as these people were busy gossiping on the real estate prices.
"Remedy? How?" Wayne asked.
"I will make the Earth much bigger. A big planet like Saturn." John pitched his idea.
All looked at John for a second. Stunned by what he just said and then burst out laughing. John didn't expect that his sudden idea would be received as a joke by his friends. He was embarrassed.
"I am being serious, people." John said.
"Oh yeah, how will you do that? Even if you use Alien X, and change reality there are people living here and how will the people be distributed then? If you make it bigger there would be massive earthquakes. And the most important thing. How will you compensate for the solar system? Any change in mass would change the trajectory of the sun that is rotating the galaxy in a weird angle which might lead to our destruction. It's a miracle that the introduction of Oa didn't pose a threat to our system." Tony said in one breath.
"And that's why I called you. I want you all to help me plan this situation out. I don't want people to leave our Earth just because we don't have space. I will need a team of scientists and a bunch of normal people to help me fix this situation while I change the topography, geography and its size." John siad.
"Are you serious John? Do you really want to do this?" Clark asked.
"Yes!!"
"How the fuck will you explain this to people?" Aquaman asked in a sharp tone.
"The officials can handle it. Phoenix and I will be responsible for the safety of the people as the volume of Earth will expand in the course of days. The cities, towns and villages in small countries won't expand, only the land outside will. There won't be any earthquakes as new tectonic plates will be added. The reality change will be done under the supervision of the geologists and scientists." John said.
"What about the people who live in separate houses and own land outside?" Tony asked.
"They will occupy the same amount of land. The government will take care of the extra land. They will lease or sell to people at low prices." John said.
"Good luck with that. No governments will maintain transparency while giving the land back to the people." Clark said.
"They will. Corruption will always persist. And for that reason we will use GAIA and if any discrepancy is found in this transaction be it intimidation, bribery or being an asshole, it will be reported to the Avengers. And we will take care of it." John said. All the Avengers were silenced after John gave all the solutions. He didn't just come out with this idea after having a vague dream. He had really thought this through.
"If we do this, the positions of the moon, the satellites, many things will change. How will you compensate for that?" Tony asked.
"I will remove the satellites and install new ones. Umbrella will compensate for that. Since the space agencies have been replacing satellites recently using our technology, we will give them cheaper prices." John said.
"So you will be restructuring everything. It's a plus point that the communications now work on FOCUS technology and we don't need long range towers and work directly on satellites. Hey, how about electrical lines or such other lines? How do you wish to resolve that?" Tony asked.
This was where John stumbled. He didn't think of long wires and the connections. He had thought about making roads and train lines but not the wires.
"The scientists can come up with the proper planning. We will have to convene the country heads." John said as he was sure there would still be aspects that he or his friends hadn't come up with. They needed to have the whole plan in the proper place before executing that.
"Will this be good even? I mean instead of doing this we can just allow people to colonise a different planet." Clark said as he still was sceptical.
"It's not absolutely necessary but you will have to think that Pokemons had been living in cramped spaces here. Their population is larger than the humans here and they need to grow too. It would be better if we just change the topography. Other planets won't have the same environment for the growth of Pokemons like we do." John said as he gave the main reason for his radical decision.
"Let there be a vote for this weird and radical decision." Wayne said.
And surprisingly all held their hands up, including Tony. It was surprising for Tony because this whole agenda will definitely put a dent on the finances of Umbrella as they would have to compensate for the production of new satellites. This will be a huge loss. But Tony understood that for better living they needed to do it.
"Since all votes are in favor, I will ask all the world leaders for a summit and will pitch the idea. And as these greedy politicians go, I don't think they will oppose it. Let the summit be held here on the Ring. SHIELD will handle the relevant matters." Wayne said.
"Agreed. This will be a huge project and all the important factors would have to be taken into account." Banner said.
"Right. Make a proper plan. Use the proper channels of Umbrella to hire geologists and all other scientists and run a simulation. GAIA can easily handle the calculations." John said.
"Happy to be of service." GAIA spoke up.
"After the decision, we will have to handle the public relations too. This is going to be a nightmare and a huge project." Tony mumbled.
"We will have to draw the continents too as the shape will change according to the factors." Banner said.
"Don't change too much or else the governments will come after our ass saying we fucked up their borders." Aquaman said.
"Who cares. We are doing this for the betterment of humanity. They just need to accept it and move on. Generations after generations we have made the climate of the planet worse and worse. Only recently have we come back on the right track. Thanks to Umbrella. They should be kissing the shoes of us instead of suing us." Clint said.
"Hahaha.. We don't need that. I just hope they stay the hell away from our lives.
