John stayed at that Earth for a few more minutes before leaving while saying that he would open a portal later to 616 for them to cross over and come prepared. The Avengers, who had no idea what they were jumping into, readily accepted. They trusted the person who had once helped them so much and helped them to overcome an enemy who was unkillable.
Of course, Barry too had the same privilege here.
John was back at the Ring and went straight to the Tower. It had many books and some of them were so ancient that even he had no idea what was written on them. Most of the time he was too lazy and more so because he was too powerful to even care.
But this time he can't do that. He needed to have all the knowledge possible and see if it had any clues of how to handle the Wall. There was Order and Chaos at the DC side too so there might be some hints from it.
And after hours of research and reading, he was finally able to get some clues about the Wall and ways to mend it. Though it wasn't exactly a solution, at least there were some things which could point out and lessen the expansion of the said 'crack on the wall'.
It wasn't a permanent solution but at least this was something. He took some important books with him and went to his home. He needed a time off.
Since he had almost 24 hours before the next gathering, he wanted to use this time for the best of his ability to relax and steam off his constant running around. Tired was an understatement for John.
Knull was a huge problem and that needed a proper burial.
And now that he was out of it, it seemed like he had welcomed a bigger problem. For now he just wanted to rest and have time with himself.
And home was his place to rest and go through everything he needed to do for the upcoming 'arc'. John went through so many things in the past few days that he needed a mental recharge and home the place for escaping from all of this.
John went straight to the bath and even asked Audino to give him a massage. His body didn't need any of that but he wanted to mentally relax and have some time off. After having a good time he went straight to bed to sleep.
After having a sound sleep he woke up the next day as usual and had his breakfast. Since the people would still need some more time to prepare he went to the patio of the house and sat on his favorite chair as he looked to the Earth.
The Earth looked beautiful. John whenever had time loved doing this as looking at the Earth gave him peace and serenity. All this would crumble down if he didn't fix the problem. But that was it. John had no idea how to fix the problem.
If one multiverse breaks their multiverse wouldn't be far away from destruction. It would be like a stack of dominoes. The difference was that there were only chips on it. There was a 50% chance that the chip would fall on their side. And from the looks of it, it might just fall on their side and take their multiverse down with them.
Beside John, Audino and the spirit of the House appeared. Audino just stood by John, while the spirit took out a chair and sat beside him.
"The others haven't returned with you. Do we have a problem?" the spirit asked.
"Yes. We do. We have encountered a serious obstacle as I am at a loss of what I need to do to save us all."
The spirit stiffened at the words of John. Until now he always had solutions to his problems but for the first time he felt a sense of loss from him. It seemed like John was tired and it almost felt like he was on the verge of giving up.
"You are giving up just because there is a problem you can't solve?" The spirit asked.
"It's not that I am giving up. Even if I do everything, I can't save everybody. If I save this multiverse, I will probably succeed but I can't say the same for the other things out there. The other multiverse. The multiverse from where you came." John finally spoke out the reason he looked listless. Even if John does everything and saves the multiverse, the people on the other side might not have the same privilege.
They might die without their own knowledge and their lives wouldn't even matter in the grand scale of events that were spiralling in their multiverse. That made him sad. At the beginning he thought that there wasn't any multiverse out there and Marvel was the only one.
Maybe his Earth was just another small dimension that John hadn't been able to find out. But all changed when OAA dropped the bomb.

/*I am saying this again. Some of the stories written here aren't comically accurate and something I had made up and made it sound that it was in the comics. Though I haven't veered off from the comics by a lot but there are some discrepancies here and there. Nothing major to be honest. So don't take the words here as gospels. Read the comics. They are much better.*/
"You can't save everyone. We can only do what we do best. The results, the consequences are the things we don't think about much. Sometimes our actions save people, sometimes it doesn't. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. If we don't try to solve it then who will. Right?" The spirit said in a very bland tone. It seemed like she wasn't saying such big words but she was having a cold conversation with John.
But John knew that her way of talking had always been a little cold. That was her nature. John, hearing those, didn't reply. He knew whatever she said was right. They could only do so much and hope for the best.
There was no perfect solution for everything. One thing or the other will slip away and lead to another kind of problem.
He just sat there and continued looking at Earth. After half an hour, from the corner of his eye he saw a large spaceship approaching Earth, or it was better to say that the large spaceship was approaching the Ring.
The spaceship was a totally new model that the universe had ever seen. The spaceship was special because it was developed by the Guardians!! Yes, the Maltusians took out their technological knowledge and advancement to carry out this crucial long term mission.
And a good spaceship was just one of the ways for it. They also brought a special team for this, a team of Green Lanterns and among the ranks was Emma too. She was one of the first Green Lanterns of the native universe so she had quite a weight around the Lanterns so her inclusion in this mission was a natural one. Of course, John asked the Guardians too to take her.
The alien looking spaceship soon landed near the Hall of Justice. John flew to Hall and waited for them to arrive. This was the first time for the Guardians to ever go out of Oa. They had never done so since they had arrived in the universe.
The new universe did arouse curiosity of the Guardians but not strong enough to go out for a roam but the crisis has finally brought them out of their shells and take this matter seriously.
A team of 5 Green Lanterns stepped out from the hangar and among the Lanterns there was one from the Kree race too. This was a little shock for John but he didn't point it out. It was a shock because the Kree was from the pure bloodline and it was surprising that someone of that bloodline was not so haughty enough to take over the mantle of Green Lantern.
Emma was leading the team. She stepped quickly as she arrived at the Hall. After seeing John she didn't even waste a second to arrive at his arms and kissed him. She had been out for quite a long time and she missed home. She had always wanted to work on a mission with John. To help him.
Finally she had the chance and she was going to do everything to prove that she was worthy to stand with John. The other lanterns too had arrived slowly after her and allowed PDA to finish between their captain and the person who had once saved their universe with his powers.
John was pretty famous at Oa after Black Winter and many were thankful to him as he saved the universe, so he had a pretty good reputation. Of course some feared him too because of his power but all in all they had a good impression of him.
The Guardians too had come out of the spaceship and slowly floated to the Hall. Since they were powerful telekinetic and thus they were basically a toned down version of Professor X.
"Mr. Jameson, we have gathered all the equipment required to handle the crack. Though we have never faced this situation before, we believe we have enough expertise to handle it." one of the Guardian said.
"I believe so. But this mission is something which is dangerous and time consuming so I have gathered a small team of my own." John said as he opened a portal beside. He didn't even let the Guardians speak another word as the portal had opened.
After a few seconds, a few people emerged from the portal. The Green Lanterns who were behind the Guardians were dumbfounded seeing the people that had arrived. It was not because of the people that had come but among the people who had come had freaking dinosaur.
And if that was not enough, there was a small girl sitting on the neck of the red colored Tyrannosaurus . This whole combination of a small girl and a dinosaur was totally a weird one. The Lanterns gulped seeing all of this.
The girl was the smartest one from Earth TRN981. On the same level as Reed Richards. She was brought with the team of Reed, Banner and Tony. The greatest minds of their universe.
