"It's been some time." The young man finally spoke after seeing John. The moment John appeared near the gate, the young kid on his shoulder informed them that a person had arrived suddenly at their doorstep.
Listening to this he was curious and came out with the kid. The young man was Shang-Chi and the kid was Goku. Goku could sense that a very strong person had appeared. Though he was small, John had been spending fan values once in a while to enhance the growth speed of Goku. He needed him to be on the power level of Super Sayian as fast as possible and this was the only thing he could do was spend some frugal fan values and infuse some memories of the future into his brain.
This time he had come to see how his progress was. And from the looks of it Goku seemed powerful enough to handle Raditz even though he was still a kid. This was astonishing progress, because the same progress in the anime happened after Goku was older.
Hell, by that time Goku had even married and had Gohan!!! But this was good for the Avengers and soon they would have a strong fighter among themselves. If the fan values wouldn't give any other update by the next year, he would go for the Prince. The Prince of the Saiyan planet.
Vegeta
For a long time, he was the most favorite character for John. He was young at that time and he didn't have much access to anime since he was in a country where anime wasn't so much of a culture. But later when he got to see more animes his views changed and many others became his favorite.
It was almost time to bring out all the famous characters and especially from his favorite anime.
One Piece.
He had been avoiding One Piece because the story hadn't finished and because if he did bring it here, it would tip the power scales by a whole new margin. But from the looks of it, it would be time soon to bring them and since One Piece had tons of amazing characters, it would be very helpful for the Avengers. It was fortunate that John still had access to manga from his previous life so he was always up to date or else his greatest regret in his new life would be not finishing One Piece.
John was lost in his own thoughts for a second when Shang-Chi spoke but in a moment's notice he was back to reality.
"Sashi buri-dana.... aaah sorry ... It's been some time... yes."
John was so lost in the thoughts of One Piece that he almost spoke in the voice of Crocodile. He felt a little ashamed that he almost spoke Japanese here. Shang-Chi had a weird look on his face as he could easily see that John just spoke Japanese but he didn't point it out.
There was an awkward silence among the two and it was only broken when her sister came out to greet John. She brought him inside. Though there was an awkward moment between the two before, it didn't change the fact that the two siblings still hold huge reverence for John.
He had changed their lives. Avengers had protected their life even after they knew that their father was a mass murderer before. And now they had gained a sibling in the form of Goku.
He was so powerful now that even if all the family pits against the kid, they couldn't even touch him. It was hilarious because both of the mother and father were the ones who taught him martial arts.
In just two years, he was powerful enough to beat all of the 4 in a single combat. But it was good that the kid didn't hold any malice for the family. Actually he was very respectable to his parents and even his elder siblings. They all loved him with all their heart and treated him just like another member of the family.
But they also had told him the truth of his ancestry after he was old enough. Though it was not required as John had been injecting memories of his past but the family still felt that he needed to know.
Goku didn't care about his ancestry and was happy to have such a loving family. He had even gone a few times to Ta Lo and like John he too was loved by the Water Dragon of the lake. Goku loved being with the dragon who would roam the skies with him and have fun. Goku could be said to be very much pampered by many people.
Even Rayquaza had appeared in front of him quite a few times as the Pokemon had a weird kind of connection with Goku. The story was all jumbled up for Goku but he was more than happy to experience such a kind of life.

John spent the rest of his time with their family for the whole day. He had come just to see Goku and how he was growing up but ended up receiving the hospitality of the family. Xu Wenwu had finally started to trust him a bit, though he still felt that John had an ulterior motive but he didn't point it out.
Years of immortality has given him a lot of knowledge and experience and he could easily that something was bothering John but he didn't bring it to light. At least not in front of family. John even stayed at their place as guest for a night and Ying Li insisted on it.
The next day, John had decided to follow Xu on his hunt trip (not pokemons) for the food which he usually does. Living at a secluded location meant that they needed to be self sufficient and hunting was one of the many necessary skills required.
John and Xu went for a hike on the mountains while Xu took a bow and quiver which contained arrows. Both were silent when they started the journey. Ying Li asked for John's help here because he felt that both of people needed to reconcile and hunting might help, though John could easily conjure food with magic but seeing the enthusiasm of Ying Li he accepted.
After half an hour of awkward silence on the hike, Xu finally spoke up
"Why are you here? Just to see Goku?"
John was taken aback by the direct question of Xu but at the end he replied
"Primarily yes. I wanted to see how he was growing up."
"You wanted to see how your weapon is growing. The Avengers want to know, isn't it?" Xu almost had a harsh tone when he asked that. Over the course of time he had accepted Goku as his own son and he didn't want any harm to come to his son. He knew that Goku being with them had a purpose and he might be someone who was reared as a weapon for the Avengers.
He had doubted that for a long time and as the days went by he was more sure of his assumption. John was silent with this question but he finally replied.
"Honestly when I left him here I didn't think much. We Avengers are really powerful at this point. We can destroy planets, galaxies as we see fit and even create ones when required. It should have been like this but something has happened. And we aren't sure if we save ourselves. I have said before, the Avengers doesn't know of his existence and it will remain that way, but if a day comes we will have to bring the child to light and he would have to help us. Even if you don't want your son to help us, there would be no other way. The fate of the multiverse would depend on it."
Xu was surprised by this answer. He had a very vague idea of how powerful Avengers were after the planets got reconstructed and it was all over the news. Even their own Earth changed in size. But he never expected that their power would be so crazy that even galaxies could be destroyed.
The crazier part was even after this the Avengers were living in some kind of fear!!! Xu got serious hearing the question. There was no reason for John to lie as he was powerful enough and he could always take away Goku. It meant that John only wished for proper truth to be communicated.
"Is the situation that serious?"
"As of now no. We are handling it but it can get real ugly real soon."
"Can we help?"
"If you wish to, why not? I will ask GAIA to keep you in contact and if we have an emergency we will call you. As of now you can make yourself and your family powerful as much as you can. I will also ask Umbrella to lend you a hand in this."
Xu nodded his head. As they were talking they noticed a full grown turkey from afar. Before the turkey could even blink and turn its head it was impaled a arrow. The arrow didn't come from Xu but by John who had killed it with one strike. Xu didn't even get the chance to bring out his bow.
Seeing that their 'food' was dead before he knew what happened showed how powerful John was and how better he was if he wanted to assassinate someone.
"I will be releasing new series in the next two years. Keep an eye on this. You will get an idea of what kind of problems we are facing." John said not even caring that he just killed a turkey.
"Problems? As in plural? And you releasing to masses. Wouldn't that cause panic?"
"Letting the people know is important. They can't be ignorant. And yes, it is plural."
