"I got to say. This universe is glad to have you around John." Steve said.
"But this came at a cost. The emergence of Black Winter and I don't know how I affected the multiverse. This is just the start. And thanks for trusting me even after I am responsible for all the mess too." John replied as he felt shy. His influence has already awakened a sleeping monster. He didn't know how many more monsters had awakened because of him.
"There is nothing you can do. We gain in one hand and lose in another. Balance should always be there in the universe. Even if your influence might have made all the people cross over to our universe, we gained new friends and comrades in turn. And If your magic was responsible for this, it wouldn't mean that someone is deliberately doing this." Thor replied as he still trusted John and had never seen John going and doing some magic to bring people. If John had done, his magic would have been sensed by other a long time ago, but it was never the case.
All went back to sleep and rest as this narration took a long time and everybody needed to digest what they had just gained. That parallel universe was a reminder of how lucky they were.
None returned home and all stayed back at Asgard for 1 more day to have a proper rest. Only Peter returned home as his aunt called him. His mind was blown by what he had seen. He had never known that there were so many amazing things in the universe.
He thought the Avengers were powerful enough to handle the universe like they did on two occasions but now when the whole story came out, he understood that he was naive and nobody is safe. It was either kill or be killed.
After another day of rest all the Avengers returned home. They had a good time at Asgard but now it was time to get to work. John spent the rest of his time with animes as now he needed a power up. He was thinking of spending fan values to get himself a boost.
He called Lex to know how his works were received by the audience. Lex gave a positive response saying that people of Nova loved his works. Especially after the introduction of Phantom drive, people believed that there was Krypton and even some went into search for that planet.
And green lantern too helped in people believing that the movies were real. Even though not all got close to the Green lanterns, their presence and videos showing their fights were famous and thus John's work too became famous.
John was happy to know all of this. Even though he hasn't gained much fan value, whatever could be added he would take it gladly. And now all he needed was a platform to show the power of the Avengers. This will boost his fan values by a large number.
And that platform came when Rocket called John after a week of returning from Asgard. Emma had already left by that time so he was alone when the call came.
"Hey John. what's up?" Rocket said.
"Hey. I am good. What about your missions? Is everything going well?" John asked as he knew there must be a reason for his call.
"We all super. Groot has been helping us a lot. Listen. I called you for a reason." Rocket said.
"I know you have called for a reason. You never call just to check me up." John mocked.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean? I call my friends." Rocket said.
"That's a lie." came the voice of Drax from behind.
"It's fine. Now tell me, why did you call?" John asked.
"Actually we are on the way to your Earth. We have got intel that Thanos has gathered a massive army to attack Earth and take the space stone from you all." Rocket said in a very serious tone. But when John heard it, he gave a huge smile.
He had been waiting for this for such a long time and now finally it was here.
"I understand. Come to the Ring. We will handle it." John replied.
"Why does it look like you are happy that Thanos will be attacking? Rocket asked as he was confused to see the smile on John's face.
"Of course I am happy. I have been waiting for this battle for a long time. Let him come." John said.
"You are weird. I will get there in a few hours." Rocket said as he ended the call.
John was happy that Thanos was coming. Now he needed to keep the dwarves of Nidavellir safe. He directly teleported to Asgard in the main hall. As he appeared he saw Atreus sitting on the throne talking with Thor and Frigga.
"John, why are you here? Came for another round of vacation?" Thor joked.
"No. Thanos is coming. Evacuate Nidavellir." John said.
"Thanos? ... I understand." Thor said as he became serious. And then he too vanished from his place. Atreus and Frigga too had a serious face.
"Do you want Asgard to help?" Atreus asked.
"It will be fine if you send Kratos and Loki. No need to send soldiers. We have our own." John replied.
"Queen Frigga, how is everything going on with Aldrif. Did she believe you yet?" John asked.
"He did believe us after we got the Queen here and made her accept her past. Her plan to torture her but later thought otherwise as she wanted to make her the Queen in order to spite on Odin."
"What a spiteful woman. I advise you not to let Aldrif out early. You need to make sure that she doesn't have feelings for Heven. She had lived there for centuries. I am sure she won't take it in a good way of Asgard ruling over them."

John then went to the Hall of Justice.
"Avengers, Thanos is coming. Meet me at the Hall." John said after wearing the helmet. AS he said that people started appearing in the main hall as Guilty Spark started teleporting people to the main hall. Some were on Earth while others were far away so Guilty Spark was responsible for transportation.
After waiting for 5 minutes everybody appeared in the main hall. All had a serious look in their eyes. This time Fury joined too. The Avengers just saw Thanos devastating everything with his army in John's illustrations and now they would have to face him for real.
"How far is he?" Wayne asked.
"I have no idea. The Guardians of the Galaxy will be coming soon. We can ask them." John replied.
"We will need an army to face him." Vision said.
"We do. And for that reason, I have asked for help from others too." John said and as he said that 5 kages appeared near them. All were surprised that even 5 kages had come.
"Welcome my friends." John said.
"Yo...Thanks for letting us join." Naruto said. The kages came with their own guards too. Shikamaru was one of them.
"Shikamaru and Wayne can decide how to face him. I have already explained the thing about Thanos to them long ago." John said. All nodded their heads as they knew that both Shikamaru and Wayne would be perfect in handling the strategy to face Thanos. The Avengers knew about the strategic mind of Shikamaru from the animes and thus allowed him to give his ideas while making the strategy.
"John doing this will expose the ninjas to the world if we fight on Earth." Fury said as he still didn't want the ninjas to be out in public view. The ninjas had been the secret protector of the Earth and under SHIELD so he didn't want any light in them.
"We will not fight on Earth, but Mars." Shikamaru replied.
"Huh. Is that even possible? How shall we bring Thanos to Mars?" Wanda asked.
"We can use the space stone as bait and put it on Mars. I am sure the scent of it will pull him towards that planet." Shikamaru said.
"Ok. But what if he attacks Oa instead of us?" Steve asked.
"He is not dumb enough to attack Oa. The moment he attacks Oa it will call all the lanterns of the universe. Oa isn't a toy that can be invaded so easily. He will need an infinity stone. And space stone will be a good one to start with for him." Wayne replied as he gave his own thoughts.
As they were discussing, Thor appeared in the Hall.
"Tell me that Nidavellir is safe." Wayne asked.
"It's safe. I have transferred all of them to Asgard. And the forge is closed. Thanos can never find them." Thor replied.
"Good. One problem out of the way. So now we have the main problem. How to make the space stone not an obvious bait?" Tony asked. All got into thinking about it.
"We can make a fake stronghold on Mars where men will be posted. We will make it such a way that the energy from the space stone will leak a little. That will attract his attention." John said.
"Thanos will not be dumb enough to fall for this obvious trap. He has seen how powerful we are. You even killed a member of his." Strange said.
"We did, but he had never seen our power. He only knows of Avengers during the New York battle. He has an army, I am sure he will be prepared but he would still underestimate us." Steve said.
"That is true. And he has amassed a huge army. I am sure he thinks that his power and army will be strong enough to face us." Diana said.
"Will it be even feasible?" Banner asked.
"We will not be sure until we try. He is coming to give us a battle. So it shouldn't matter to him where we fight him. He might suspect that it would be an ambush but he would face it anyway. The difference will be, he will assault this fake stronghold that we build," John said.
"But how will you explain to the public the emergence of the shinobi world?" Fury asked as he was still stuck there.
"What to hide? We can just tell them that the Naruto world has always been present but on other planets. " John said.
"That is possible." Fury said as he got into his own thoughts. And as they were talking they heard a noise coming from outside the hall of justice. They were confused about the noise until GAIA notified that the Guardians of the Galaxy had arrived. They all went out to meet their new space comrades.
The Avengers knew about them from the illusions of John, even if John didn't show much of them, at the end they helped fight Thanos.
