"Getting called by Tony. That's a first time."
"Yeah.. Never thought the most irresponsible guy would get the chance to bring us all together."
The X-men were dumbfounded hearing such words coming out from all the members of the Avengers. It meant that all the members of the Avengers were in a very close circle and it seemed like they all were very close friends. Though the X-men were friends too but most of the time the opinions differed by a lot.
Like Logan's view of world was completely different to others and there was always a sexual tension between him and Jean. And his rivalry with Scott, but here it seemed like everybody was on board with each other.
John too had appeared at the Hall. He had been at his home using his magic to look forward in time for Knull. But his magic failed. He tried this with Alien X too. Using magic and godlike powers to peer into time.
But all was for naught. It was as if somebody was blocking its way and this was frustrating for him. He had opened portals a few hours ago so he had a general idea that whatever had happened from the locations of many mutants in their world and seeing that Tony had returned with only the main warship and some battered warships.
It meant the fight was fierce.
"Looking at you seems like you are perfectly alright. Why the call?"
"We have a situation."
Victor spoke up this time in a serious manner. He could see that all the people present were not in a very serious mood and most of them were being lazy. Probably because they had almost all wars till now and now there was a bit of complacency. They had destroyed Black Winter.
A multiversal devourer. That in the resume was enough for them to not take many enemies seriously.
"Go on."
"Annihilus is dead!!"
There was a pin drop silence when Tony said that. Even John had his eyes wide open when Tony broke that news in the room. Then he used his omniscience to look at the minds of Tony and X-men for a second and that was enough for him to know what had happened in their universe.
"Tell us everything." Steve said as he looked at all of the X-men.
The story of what had happened was reiterated while John just closed his eyes and searched for a bug army at 616. His cosmic awareness was still not able to find them. He needed to go to 616 to see what was exactly going on but he wasn't sure if his Alien X omnipotence would be effective in their universe in finding Knull and his planet.
"At least we have one enemy now!!"
"Yeah no more searching for both."
"It will be more dangerous now with their army together. He might use the bugs as hosts for symbiotes." Barry said as he remembered that the bugs under Annihilus were made of antimatter.
"Symbiotes can mutate along with the host."
John said that. This was another piece of information that blew the mind of others present in the room. They always thought symbiotes won't grow with the host but John saying that has wiped the playing field. John said that because he remembered the story of Anti-venom which Eddie obtained when he was suffering from cancer, and the doctor cured him using lightforce. (probably enigma force, didn't read much of antivenom. He was important during the AXIS storyline when the morality of the heroes changed, the storyline that gave us superior ironman.)
Of course due to his intervention Venom never had the chance of becoming antivenom but it could never be overlooked that the symbiote changes according to the hosts, so John needed to mention that.
"What changes can we expect?"
"The changes which will render all our plans of using sound and fire useless and fight them on equal standards."
"Ahh fuck this shit!!!"
One of them really couldn't hold it together. This was not what they expected. Most of them were in a vacation mode seeing that sound and fire would be easily operational during the war, but now all their advantages seemed like going down the drain.
"Is your prediction 100% right?" Diana asked as she felt all John was doing was speculating.
"Nope. It could be entirely different. It can go both ways. It can regress but the mutation can be more terrifying than I am speculating."
"So we need to expect the worst?"
"Yep!!"
The X-men and the Brotherhood just sat there silently as half of them had no idea of what they were talking about but from the looks of it the enemy that they were facing wasn't an easy one.
"Charles, Erik we might need your help in this. I will help you to reform your bodies and make you more battle worthy. Ryan take them to the labs and give them the dragon serum. We will need all the mutants to have a makeover in order to face Knull."

John got up and brought out a hard drive with a slight of hand. This hard drive was the latest technology he had acquired after spending a small amount of fan values. He needed to upgrade the X-men and this hard drive will prove some enhancements to them.
This hard drive contained all the knowledge from the world of 'Cyberpunk 2077'. Though he didn't play much of the game, he had enough knowledge to know that there was a ton of cybernetic enhancements for human bodies in that. The technology there was immensely powerful and could even make a normal person a superhero.
John had never introduced this technology to the world because he felt that it would be dangerous. The criminals will easily be able to know much of it from some parts and make it more dangerous for the normal people out there. Earth was not ready for cybernetic enhancements yet. The laws weren't advanced and capable enough to handle that.
And the Avengers now had too much on their plate to care about this small thing.
"Take this hard drive. Use the technology on Charles so that he can walk again and give all of them a proper suit."
Ryan took the hard drive from him, but from the looks of it, there must be something good to even make a person who has paralysis to walk again. Though med pod could do it, Ryan felt that whatever was in that drive would be much better than their current technology.
"Can you all follow me? I will take you to the lab for proper measurements and make sure you all have good equipment to boost your power." Ryan said as he walked to the lab of the Hall.
All the mutants obediently followed him. Most of them were excited, thinking that they could be as cool as the Avengers here. They had seen their suits here on various posters on Huberville.
Their suits seemed off-color in front of them. And they hoped they would get a good suit, now that they have the chance none wanted to miss their hands on them. Even Erik was excited about this whole venture, though he never showed it on his face.
After the mutants left Steve said.
"We will leave too except for the people who are actively working on suits for us in the upcoming war. It seems we will have to do more preparations for this war then we did last time. Last time we had a single enemy. This time it's an army. We will need all kinds of help we can gather."
"Captain, you will be without Uni-Power once you get there." John reminded Steve of the limitations Captain will face once he gets there. The Captain Universe powers had always been a single universe centric. It was for this reason during the spider verse menace, the cosmic spiderman was not able to help in bringing down the inheritors. Steve hearing this shook his head.
"Before I was Captain Universe, I was still Captain America. I think that is enough."
"Alright. Those who have their suit ready should go and pack. Venom said that he would arrive in a few days. It seems like there might be a change in timeline after what we just saw. It might be just a diversion."
"We will have to prepare for all scenarios. Pack your bags people!!"
After the discussion was done all went back to their place. They needed to make enough preparations. John needed to be careful in his universe too. He wasn't even sure if Knull would attack the 616 universe. He had attacked a universe which had no significance whatsoever.
America Chavez was someone Knull shouldn't have cared about but he still sent a bug army to attack her. It made no sense. So he had to keep an eye on all of the multiverse and search for him. He had no idea what his next move was.
For this war he needed his own suit to be tight fit too. He could destroy the symbiotes which might come close to him but the fight against Knull might turn ugly and he needed to be sure that there were no distractions.
Meanwhile the X-men were having the time of their life!
When GAIA got her hands on the cybernetic enhancements she understood what John wanted to do with it. She had to make something for Professor X so that he could walk with no problem while retaining his powers.
This would be an easy job for her and also she needed to enhance his powers and the powers of everyone if possible. Of course Ryan and other scientists present in the lab would help them.
"Professor, this is the suit and enhancements we would like to give to you. Are you alright with the schematics?"
Ryan asked as he showed a hologram picture of a man which had a spherical device on his head which had a marking of X in front of it. (A/N : IYKYK)
