Capítulo 651: Inspection
"John... John... Are you listening to what I just said." Oblivion couldn't help but break him out of his stupor as he saw John day dreaming while looking at the crack. It was suffice to say that he was annoyed a bit seeing John as he spoke of betrayal.
"No.. No. I heard you the first time. I was just thinking of what you said. My power comes from the Wall. If my power hinders me to act upon the enemies, what should I do. I would have to make contingencies against myself if that happens. Betrayal is out of the table. I would have to ask Phoenix to give me power if that happens."
Oblivion didn't expect such words from John and honestly none of them thought it in this way. everyone knew that John's power came from the Wall so if it backfires, then it would be a huge problem for everyone to solve especially if a person as powerful as John be neutralized.
"Do whatever you have to do to make yourself active. The supreme being trust you so I think he has already thought of that scenario. If you do get neutralized, you have Phoenix so there won't be much of an obstacle. You are our main weapon. We all will have to fight together."
John nodded his head while he still kept an eye on the crack. He was in huge stress now and had to think about multiple angles. His presence might be a liability here. Until he was sure that his system wouldn't stop him from stopping the invasion he needed to out of here.
Not that his presence here was absolutely needed but he wished to stay here but it seemed like he wouldn't be able to and have to leave his summons and his friends here. Even Emma would have to be here with the Guardians.
It kind of frustrated him but there was nothing he could do. The enemies on the Wall were numerous from the looks of it. There was an army here as opposed to what he had read on the comics of DC. The comics wouldn't help him much here and he needed to make his own path in handling the enemies. He would have to take a back seat here and help his friends overcome as much as possible.
He would have to share his knowledge and would have to be behind the scenes as much as possible until he was sure he wouldn't be an hindrance to others.
After looking at the crack one last time he went back to the spaceship while Oblivion had left for his own work. He was back at the command center where Wayne and others were looking at the images of crack on the screen. The Guardians were discussing among themselves about the crack and how the images were differed from the Source Wall that they had watched over before on their life.
"How is the crack up close?"
"No much difference from what we could see here." John said pointing on the lie images on the screen.
"No other sensation from up close?" a Guardian asked.
"No that I know of. You can set up instruments to monitor it as I won't be here always." John said.
Others were surprised by this decision, especially Emma as she thought they would be together here and work here. This would be their home away from home. Though this place had nothing outside the spaceship but inside this spaceship was bigger than a US state. This had so much space that it people were in short here and only the aliens under them were enough to fill up a small amount of space.
"Why? Why are you leaving?" Emma asked. This question was on everybody's face. Then John spoke about his insecurity here and how he might be a liability.
"This is bullshit!! Nothing of that sort will happen here. Your power doesn't only come from the Wall. In that case everyone here who came from beyond the wall would be a liability and should be under scrutiny but we have seen nothing of that sort." Tony who just entered the center said.
"Then we should all be under scrutiny." Wayne said as he too thought that what John said might be right.
"No. We trust each other here."
"We might but on what guarantee should we operate if the Wall thinks of controlling us from one way or other. We arrived a the multiverse without any help or any suit which signifies that Wall had played its part in sending us far. We need to think of all scenarios. Even betrayal by some of us." Wayne said as he dropped his greatest fear. Wayne was always good in imagining the worst case scenario.
"Then we better have contingencies against our own selves." Mayuri butted in.

Capítulo 652: Inspection (2)
As soon as such thoughts had started arising among the members, the Avengers looked at Wayne. Normally this could be settled as Wayne's department because only he establishes contingencies for all the members.
"Bruce, it's your work. Do you want to do it?" Tony whispered in his ears.
"I have already started doing it and making a file on each and everyone the moment we left the multiverse." Wayne said.
"Sometimes you are more scary than these Omega Titans that I am seeing right now." Banner who heard this whispering said. John had already known that Wayne had been doing this, but he was surprised how early he had started.
He was powerful now so he didn't need to do such kinds of things, but the habit of his stayed and he would do everything possible to make separate files on anyone he deemed as a threat or powerful. John coughed a bit to attract the attention of everyone, even Emma who had a death glare on her face. She was angry that John would leave and though she understood why John had thought of it, there was nothing she could do.
Even the Guardians thought that John might prove to be difficult if his power went out of hands. Though he had the Phoenix Force, it was better that he was kept out in the research to fill the crack.
"Wayne will set up files for each and everyone of you on the basis of weakness and how to counter them if any one of you goes rogue. I will also be under evaluation and everybody is expected to be asked some questions and a personal interview by Wayne here." John announced.
Everybody again started whispering but all in all there was a general consensus. Almost everybody here knows Wayne and those who didn't would get used to him pretty soon. He was powerful and trustworthy, at least from what they could see. Wayne came forward and said in a loud voice.
"I will make separate files for each and everyone of you. I will keep these files in high security and files would be kept on each different Earth, where you all hail from. This bundle of files will always be under security and off the grid so that some bad guys don't get other thoughts about this. I have faced this once so I will be extra careful about it. (Batman animated movie involving Vandal Savage. He was ousted from Justice League later after his contingencies on the members of the JL was leaked)
"All in favor!!" Tony said as he supported his friend to make files on their friends. He had wanted to do this for a long time. He has his own paranoia, especially now. Unsurprisingly, more than 80% lifted their hands. Those who didn't belong to the Shinigami group as they were new to this whole thing and half of them didn't even understand what 'files' were. Only Mayuri and Urahara had a better idea of what the discussion was.
"The suits are almost ready. You will have to wait for few more hours before we leave for the crack so that we can inspect it. Do make your instruments ready so that we can start on our main work soon, while I will go through each and everyone of you in the meantime. John will be here until a file on him has been made."
"Now you all can disperse and work on your own and have fun till it lasts." Wayne said. He really had a way to depress the people around him, but those who were used to it didn't care about what he said.
John and Emma went to their own place. In the journey, everybody had settled down in their own place so he too found a big place for himself and Emma. There he had properly explained why he was taking this decision as he wasn't sure of his own self.
Phoenix Force was there for sure but he was also a Sorcerer and 2/3rd God. Both of his powers were too OP to look over and make sure that these extra powers of his was not an enemy to his allies. Emma almost cried hearing this but she ultimately accepted after consoling her for an hour.
Soon many people were called as the suits were manufactured for everyone and Tony even set up a factory in the spaceship. It was fortunate that T'Challa had agreed to let them take some amounts of Vibranium from his kingdom.
Though Tony had that in their Ring, he didn't want to go back just for this small purpose. Many had gathered at the center. In the first expedition, not all will get the chance to see the Wall up close. Even Wayne would sit back and supervise everything.
