บท 74: Emma is in New York

"Hahaha you don't have to worry about it. Dad always listens to me." John said being relieved. It's been almost 2 years they had been dating and John wanted to introduce her to his family.

John and Emma reached his home and went inside. Val was present as usual taking care of the house. John introduced her to Val. Valentina was very happy that John had brought a girl. She used to think John probably would die single after watching his lifestyle but finally saw hope.

John took her to the guest room and allowed her to fresh herself after a long flight. After an hour or so Emma came out looking fresh and wet hair. John who was sitting in the family saw her in that look and almost melted in his seat.

Emma sat beside him and he couldn't stop himself from kissing her. Jameson still had couple of hours left to return so they started talking. Emma was excited about the Jurassic Park and she couldn't stop herself but John remembered that Fury would join him in this expedition.

"Emma what do you think of me? Like from a third person's perspective." John suddenly asked.

"Huh! I don't understand. What do you mean?" She replied being confused.

"For example, if you have never known me. What would you think of me?"

"Ummm.. Probably a mysterious business tycoon who never shows his face. In my crew everybody wants to know more about you. You are a legend." Emma laughed.

"Mysterious? Maybe I am. Emma my world is very different. My world is dangerous. More dangerous than you can imagine." he said. Emma was confused by this so she asked

"Dangerous? You mean your relation with Tony Stark and Bruce makes you vulnerable?" Emma asked. Emma knew how politics worked, even though John had huge influence sometimes politics could be overwhelming. John not being a part of politics had already surprised her so she thought John was threatened by something.

"No Emma it's not them, people don't actually matter to me. I am trying to say about other things. Did you watch Wonder Woman?" John said.

"Yes. It's a good superhero movie."

"What if I tell you Diana Prince is real?" John asked with a serious face.

"Huh! Good joke John, you almost fooled me with your serious face." Emma said with a laugh but after a couple of seconds she saw that John had no change of face.

"You gotta be kidding me? Say that it's a joke." Emma asked now with all seriousness.

"I wish it was a joke Emma but it isn't. Diana does exist and tomorrow you will get to see her." John said.

"I don't understand. Her existing means Gods once lived in Earth? If it's true why would you make a movie on her? Isn't that exposing you in front of people if her identity gets revealed?" Emma asked. John was surprised by her thoughtfulness.

"Gods exist, Yes! But your notion of Gods and real Gods are different. About me showing her it's because she doesn't belong to our universe.." John then proceeded to explain her about his 'false' parallel universe theory and told her it's his way of contacting the people who comes from other universes and his subsequent dreams. Emma was shaken, in fact a part of her still didn't believe him. But John's insistence and promise of introducing her to Diana convinced her somehow.

As John was explaining many things to her, Jameson returned. He saw his son talking with a girl in the family room. Even though he heard rumors of his dating in England he never paid heed to it.

But when he saw Emma talking with John he knew that the rumors were true.

"Dad, she is Emma, my girlfriend."

"Emma this is my father, J Jonah Jameson." John introduced them to each other.

"Hello Mr. Jameson it's nice to meet you." Emma said with a hint of blush on her face.

"Hello miss Emma. It's nice to meet you too. My son has a girlfriend now. Looks like he has grown up finally. Son I need to talk to you in private." Jameson said with a laugh and a hint of seriousness at the end.

"Private? What happened? You can speak in front of her. She knows about my secret. I just told her." John said. Jameson was surprised that Emma knew his secret. Jameson hesitated for a second and finally said

"I heard there was an incident in New Mexico. Were you involved? I saw that you went there few days ago."

"Yes. There was an incident and it's resolved. Diana has appeared." John said.

"What? Even she is real? No wonder you showed her connection with Batman in the movie. Next time don't be mysterious and inform me from before who will be appearing."

"Dad I am never sure who will appear. I just see my dreams and make it in reality. Not all characters I make come to this world." John shrugged and lied straight out.
