John returned back to his home. He was in a little off mood as he didn't like what he saw in the other universe. But he couldn't do anything about it. He was not a saviour of the multiverse. He could only do so much. If he started to care for all of the multiverse, he would probably be stopped because every world and universe has their own trajectory. It would be very stupid to interfere.
As he reached home he saw his father and Clark standing side by side in the balcony of his home. He was surprised to see both of them together. He went up to them.
"Son, every time I come to your place I get shocked by such wonderful scenery. Few years ago if anybody would have said that I would be living in space and that too in a space station which has its own environment I would have laughed at him. But now that we are here it is like living in a dream."
John smiled when his father said that. It was really like a dream for him too. He had achieved so much in the past few years that he himself was in awe. Even though they had problems along the way and had new and powerful enemies, he was still happy with his life.
He couldn't ask for anything more. The only major concern of him was the system. He had no idea where he came from and didn't know what it's purpose was.
"Son, Clark here wants to join the Daily Bugle." his father broke his thoughts with those words.
"Huh. Oh so you both got acquainted already. That's good. Sure he can join. You both don't need my blessings for it." John joked. Clark and Jameson both laughed at it. Even though Clark didn't need permission to do anything he still wanted to inform John as he was the son of his superior.
They both belonged to the Avengers and it was better that everything was transparent. They both then went inside and talked among themselves about their work and life. It was a jolly time between Jameson, Clark and John.
Jameson decided to stay over at his son's place for a night and John was happy to accompany him. The next day it was as usual and John started to check memories of many of his summons.
He needed to have a proper inventory of everything before the emergence of Black Winter and thus he was checking on everything. What really surprised him was the memory of Lex.
LexCorp has become a huge company by now. A company big enough to influence even the normal around. And due to such huge influence he got a seat on the council replacing the vacant seat created by Baldo after his imprisonment.
"He really can work wonders when he is given freedom. The Nova Empire is under control it seems." John smiled as he thought.
Later that day John went to work as usual. He didn't have any other huge problems to look after now. All he and the Avengers needed to do was wait anxiously.
In this way 3 more months went by. The economy of Earth was finally stabilised and the governments finally stopped poking their nose in the matters of the Avengers.
Tony and his team meanwhile have made a new device. A sensing system with the help of the head of Tiamat. This new sensing system was able to connect to the brain neurons and project a perfect image of the world outside with the help of cosmic energy.
Since, John had said that they could never look into Black Winter, Tony, Banner, Bruce and other scientists have been working non stop to make a device which could detect any kind of energy.
And the head of Tiamat was the perfect specimen from where they got the last criteria to make such a sensing system. Since Celestials way of seeing the multiverse was different than normal people, using that as a blueprint they were able to make a new device altogether.
"So we finally have a way to 'see' Black Winter." Tony said.
"Yes. We just hope that we don't see our deaths." Banner said.
"Seeing our own death would be one of the most bad things possible for us. This will just ruin our lives." Clark said.
"Knowledge is good but too much of it is poison," Wayne commented. They were discussing all the related matters when Hal's ring suddenly showed an emergency situation.
Hal opened the interface only to see that a Green Lantern had fallen. All got alert when they saw the news being projected by the ring. The death of a green lantern wasn't common.
And when the Avengers saw the last images before the death of the green lantern they knew they had to act now.

"So this is what Black Winter looks like?" Tony murmured. All they could see was a huge black void covering the entirety of the image from all sides. The surrounding of the images turned black as small flakes of black snow fell all around. Even in empty space.
The Black Winter emerged out of nowhere and before the Green Lantern could escape the black snow touched the body of the Green lantern. And he just vaporised into nothingness. Even the green ring itself got vaporised.
Those images were the last images that the ring was able to send out before dying itself. John who saw this had a grave look on his face. Then he wore the helmet and said
"Norrin, come back to Earth. Call Galactus. Black Winter is here."
And these images were sent to all. Even the Teen Titans. They needed all the guns possible. Not all were in the Hall when they were discussing the new device, but after the images were sent, all the members of the Avengers and Teen Titans came to the Hall.
After about 10 minutes Norrin arrived in his iconic silver surfer.
"Did you call him?" John asked. That was the only thing he cared about now.
"Yes. he is on his way." Norrin nodded. All had a grave face when they all entered the Hall.
"We will move out once Galactus arrives." Wayne said.
"Are all the stones ready?" Clark asked.
"Yes." Victor said as he brought out all the infinity stones which were preserved in separate boxes. As they were talking Thor too arrived with his iconic Stormbreaker and Mjolnir.
"Ready to face an enemy who you are supposed to defeat?" John asked.
"In the name of my father and my forefathers, I will bring him down. No, we will bring him down together." Thor said in a loud voice.
And then they heard a loud sound coming from outside. The sound was as if huge glass was broken. John, who was in a helmet, knew that the breaking of glass meant that Galactus was here.
"Let's go and see him." John said as they went out to see the big guy who just appeared from Earth 616.
As all went out to meet the big guy, all of them were taken aback. Though Norrin had said that Galactus was huge. They never expected him to be this huge. Arishem looked like a toy in front of him.
"No wonder John said he eats worlds. His body size would need worlds to sustain him." Banner said. They all wore their suits and flew high up to meet face to face.
Galactus on the other hand was surprised to see such a huge lineup of the Avengers and new faces. faces that were totally different from Earth 616. And some of the people in the Avengers were really powerful.
All stood side by side as they faced Galactus.
"I am here to keep my promise. Now it's your turn." Galactus said. His voice echoed everywhere like it did with Arishem.
"The infinity stones will be given to you but on the basis that you will never use them for personal gains and hunger. And Norrin will be released after this ends."
"The promise will be kept only when we can defeat Black Winter." Galactus said.
"Have faith. We will defeat him." John said as he nodded to Victor. Victor opened the 6 boxes which he had been carrying with him. The infinity stones floated outside and went straight to the huge hands of Galactus.
The stones looked like small grains of sand in front of him. But surprisingly Galactus didn't eat the stones but rather kept it away.
"We should leave." Galactus said as he turned his head to look at the distant Oa. He could feel another huge cosmic power escaping out of Oa. Just the cosmic power released by Oa tempted him.
John who noticed this change of Galactus creased his eyebrows.
"Galactus, that planet is sacred to us. Touch one planet in this universe and I assure you we will hunt you down till the end of the multiverse." John said in a very grave tone.
"Don't threaten me boy. I don't like being threatened." Galactus said, seemingly irritated by the warning of John. John didn't speak and just transformed himself to Alien X.
"And I too don't like being told what to do and what not to." John said in the voice of three people. But before they could argue more, they all saw green lights emerging from far distant.
The Avengers didn't understand what these were but when the multiple green lights came closer, they understood what it was. These were the thousands of green lanterns.
Since Black Winter threatened the whole of their universe, the Guardians had sent all of them to fight with the Avengers. John smiled when he saw this.
"Seems like the whole band is here." Steve said.
"We need every bit of help to fight him." Wayne said.
