"Do you really want to know who the person was?" John asked while he eyed everyone present in the huge set where they were shooting. Everyone tried to avoid his eyes but he could already see the curiosity of all present. All this time he could easily tell that they were curious but nobody approached him.
Only Kevin had the courage. John sighed a bit. He knew that he needed to speak up here for a bit. It wouldn't matter anyway because soon they will know of the person who had appeared.
"He is named as the Chronicler. Think of him as an observer. I think some of you who have read the script of the second series know who he is."
Kevin shuddered when he heard John say that. In the script that John had given them, there was an entity who was named as such, but since the story is much in the future he didn't give much importance to it. But now that he knew who he was, he could easily recognize the being who had appeared a few days ago.
Kevin had a bad feeling when he recognized him. The Chronicler in that script has very little screen time but his presence explained many things and showed who was actually controlling the multiverse.
John didn't speak more words about it. The next series would be out soon so he didn't need to explain much. He knew that the knowledge of the Chronicler would scare many people present but there was nothing he could do. All he could control was the spread of knowledge and he would make sure that the more general public would never know of top secrets.
"Let's get to work, people." John said as he got to work again with the others. This shoot was tiring for many people as they were on a tight schedule but everyone was happy to see an epic series come to life so everyone gave their 100%.
In this way more months flew by.
The shinobi world was totally busy with the preparations for the War. America Chavez actually decided to live in their world as she had to open the multiverse for war preparations as help was arriving from two universes. The preparation was working in full-fledged mode.
Factories were made to make new weapons for the shinobis and the normal superheroes. Tony Stark of all three universes were personally working on this. All the three universes Wakanda was also ready to provide Vibranium whenever needed.
Every single superhero, shinobi, magicians from Asgard and even the Shinigamis were now busy getting themselves ready while John and others looked over their Earth.

After 8 months of work on the series, the first series was finally out. The people had worked tremendously hard to work on this series and it was the most anticipated series of that year. Disney had hyped the series by a whole new degree claiming this was a masterpiece and would easily cross the expectations of the fans.
Since it was a series and was made on the budget of movies for every episode, the actors, directors and everyone related to the series claimed that this series would blow their minds. Even Justice League : Apokolips War would fade in front of this story. But Disney had also asked for people to have a general idea of the series of Justice League Unlimited as many characters from that series would also play here in live action.
Since it was a series release on Disney+ (Disney please don't sue me) everyone could watch the series while sitting at home cosily with their family. By now technology was more common to the people than John's previous world. Even the poor had access to high end mobiles and the middle class people could easily have holographic watches.
This was a new age that they were living in. All thanks to the Avengers and Umbrella.
Tony had asked for the concurrent release of the series in all 3 universes at the same time so Disney management had to work overtime to complete the distribution.
On a chilly night of December, all the Avengers had arrived at the House of Mysteries. They had arrived early in the morning and it was only a few minutes before the release of the whole series. They had all decided to binge watch the series together.
Even the family members of the Avengers had shown up for the series. It wasn't a movie like always so they had decided to barge in the huge home of John to watch the series. Normally the Justice League had an idea of any series or movies related to them.
But not this one.
"How long is the series?"
"9 episodes!!"
"That's long!! I hope it is good."
"Does it matter? All you need to care about is that whatever you will be watching has already happened and I tried my best to portray what I had watched in my dreams."

All took their places in the big Hall. House of Mysteries already conjured comfortable cushions, beds and chairs for each and everyone so that they could watch the series in comfort. Even Morgan Stark who had come with Pepper was given a very comfortable place with Pepper and Audino volunteered to take care of the young child.
She was still very young and could hardly speak her words.
The series they had been waiting for finally started. Since there were no movies or series ever made on it and in order to fit the whole story of the DC universe, John had made some changes to fit his storytelling. There wasn't a huge deviation from the original storyline but he still had to touch on somethings to make it more believable.
The exposition opened with a person speaking about the start of the multiverse.
"There was nothing but darkness when this multiverse had taken its birth. In order to fill the darkness, light had to be born. The color of the Light was white. It took its birth and defeated Darkness. But a single color of white light wasn't enough for the new multiverse so it broke down and formed the light that we now see on a rainbow. The seven prominent colors of the rainbow."
"Each colors had their own entites and thus these colors could form the lanterns. The color of Green was the most prominent since it was in the middle of the rainbow. It had more power and since it denoted the will of the multiverse, the Green Lantern Ring proved to be the most powerful rings among all the different colored Rings.
"The Guardians noticed this power of Green Will long and harnessed it for the safety of the universe and the multiverse. Everything was fine until all the different colored rings slowly rose and formed their own Lantern Corps.
"The Violet lanterns which denoted Love and had the Entity Predator."
"The Indigo Lanterns which denoted Compassion and had the Entity Proselyte."
"The Blue Lanterns which denoted Hope and had the entity Adara."
When people all over the world had started watching this, at first they were confused. They didn't expect a bunch of exposition in the beginning but none complained as it showed the origin of their universe and multiverse. When the part of Blue Lanterns came they could finally understand where one of the Avengers got her powers because many had noticed a person in blue light which had almost the same power of a Green Lantern but there was no explanation of it since the start.
Now they finally had an explanation of one of the powers of the Avenger.
"The Yellow Lantern which denoted Fear and had the entity Parallax"
"The Orange Lantern which denoted Greed or Avarice and had the entity Ophidian."
"The Red Lantern which denoted Rage and had the entity Butcher."
"And as we all have known and seen the Green Lanterns which had the Entity Ion. All these entities had existed since ancient times and these entities most of the time chose their hosts."
After this exposition, the story started with a small-time villain named William Hand which goes by the name Black Hand. Hand was born in a family which ran a mortuary. Since the beginning, the young Hand was always obsessed with dead bodies and he had a huge love for death. The family found it very odd and took him to many psychiatrists.
But nothing came out of it. Later the family accepted it and went on as normal. But one day he was met with one alien named Atrocitus. He was a convict who had been running around. When he came across Hand he declared that Hand was evil and had a darkness in him. So he should be obliterated.
So he tried to kill Hand with a weapon. But at that moment, The Green Lanterns showed themselves as Atrocitus was a convict from space and Hand in the middle of it was able to hide the weapon of Atrocitus.
And from that point onwards with that weapon he started his journey as villain. Over time he came across many superheroes. He even once was able to fight toe to toe against Hal Jordan.
"Jordan, a small timer made you run for money. You should up your game." Natasha couldn't help but mock the famous Green Lantern.
"It's my other version. Not me."
But he was never happy with what was happening in the world. There have been various deaths of superheroes over time but no permanent death for them. Many had died but they all came back to life. Hal died on one mission but he was brought to life. Clark died but he too was brought back to life.
He felt it was a mockery of Death. Death should have been the ultimate destiny of all living things and the Justice League had been mocking death over the years.
