章 80: Seeing Banner again

John who was at his home after coming from work got a reminder from Sasuke that the Tesseract was stolen. John had let Sasuke scour the US for finding the Pegasus Project facility during the start of the year. In three months time Sasuke found it and John told him to monitor the facility. And as it was supposed to happen, the Tesseract was taken away by Loki.

"So the war has come. I have been waiting for it in a long time. Will the butterfly effect this war? Well whatever, I will overcome it as it comes. This will be a great time to gather massive fan values."

Natasha was being held by a Russian general when she got a call from Coulson. And the plot happened almost the same as original but there was a difference. She did it faster than the original as she use two kunai which she hid inside her dress. She threw two kunai towards the guards of the Russian general. This incapacitated both the guards and before the general could react Natasha held him upside down by binding the general's legs in chains.

"Where's Barton?" Natasha said after picking up the mobile.

"We don't know. But he is alive. We need you to bring the big guy" Coulson said.

"Sure but what about the others?" Natasha asked.

"Maria and I will take care of the rest" Coulson said

The next day as John was getting ready to go to work had an uninvited guest in the morning.

"Hello Mr. John. I would like you read this report." Maria said after coming inside the house. On the file there was "Avengers Initiative" written in bold letters.

"Avengers? I am just a ordinary consultant? What do I have to do with Avengers?" John raised his eyebrows and said to Maria.

"Please don't say that Mr. John. You have been incredibly helpful to us. Fury thinks even if you can't fight you will be an incredible asset for SHIELD in this upcoming war" Maria said politely.

"No, Fury just thinks that I am dangerous that's why he wants me to join the Avengers." John said with a smile. Maria couldn't say anything to it as she too knew that Fury has an unknown fear of John. She was thinking of how to convince John.

"It's alright I will come along. Steve is awake. Yes?" John asked. Maria was stuck in her place not able to move. Then she remembered from the report that John sometimes had dreams from future.

"Yes, he is awake. He will join us too."

"Fine let me get ready." John said as he went inside to pick up his suitcase and instructed Val that he would be out for sometime. He didn't say anything about the war as their home was far away from Stark Tower and he would never let the war spread to whole of New York city.

He got ready and left with Maria. He thought they would go to the helicarrier but instead they went to Jurassic Park. John understood it was for Diana. After picking up Diana they finally set en route to the helicarrier.

Nick Fury on the other hand was in a meeting with the council.

"So you are saying this Asgard has declared war on our planet?"

"Not Asgard. Loki" Fury replied.

"We should let the ninjas handle this. They will be more capable in this. Didn't they sign the deal of being a mercenary for us." a council man said

"They just suffered a war. Do you think they will willingly participate in another one? And are you sure you want the people to know of their existence? We need a response team. These people can help us" Fury retorted.

"The Avengers Initiative was shut down. You want to leave the fate of human race in the handful of freaks? We have Phase 2 designed for exactly this."

"I am not leaving anything to anyone. We just need a response team. Phase 2 isn't ready" Fury said.

"War isn't won by sentiment Director." A councilman said.

"No, it's won by soldiers" saying that Fury left.

After an hour John and others landed. As they landed they saw a familiar face. Dr. Bruce Banner. John approached him with a smile and said

"How are you doctor?"

"Oh Mr. John. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time." Banner said

"I did see you before but we never met. In Harlem, I was there." John said.

"You know about the guy who fought?" Banner was astonished and asked.

"You should watch more of my movies and series Mr. Banner, This is Diana Prince, princess of the Amazon" John said as he introduced Diana to Banner.

"Princess. Wait... Amazon? You got to be kidding me? She is a real person and and daughter of Zeus?" Banner was surprised.

"I am surprised that you watched my movies Doctor." John said

"I didn't but Natasha asked me to watch the movie on the way here. I didn't understand then. Natasha did say that some of your works are based on real stories. I guess I understand now. So Gods are real. Seems like I am not the only freak in this world." Banner said with a sigh.

"Doctor. This universe has more freaks than you can imagine." John said.
