"I don't care if you don't Clint." John said. Luke went and stopped him. He understood that John really was powerful enough to stop them and didn't need to put up such a huge farce to catch them. Those chains and the no attack policy of Cloak seemed to have proven that. Cloak was dumb but not that dumb.
"Why are you here? You said you come from another universe. Is there any purpose?" Mockingbird asked. She finally opened her mouth. John thought that she was mute.
"Purpose? Yes. But that will come later. Your story is more interesting to me now. So I will just watch while everything in this world crumbles. That will be so much fun." John said, showing his white teeth. He really felt good about it.
This world had changed because Scarlet Witch, daughter of Erik Magnus, willed it so. The name of Erik might not be popular but his codename was.
Magneto.
This world had changed because Wanda lost her hold of sanity after losing her imaginary children which she made after changing the reality and thus she changed the world. She was a Nexus being. (Nexus Beings are rare individual entities with the ability to affect probability and thus the future, thereby altering the flow of the Universal Time Stream. In other words they are watched by the TVA.)
Wanda made this world after letting people fulfil their wishes. That was why the world was so upside down. Many people wished to have super powers and thus now there was a totally new species around. The homo superior.
Peter Parker wanted to be famous. Have a good and married life. Thus here he was a celebrity. And even his Uncle was alive. Wanda had enough power to bring dead people to life. This was the reason why Clint was alive who was killed before by the actions of Wanda.
Before she blamed the Avengers and the mutants for her loss of children. She thought the Avengers took her children away from her. And thus due to her rage many Avengers before flipped and rioted without any signs or indications.
In all of the riots which happened between the members of the Avengers, Scott Lang and Clint Barton died. Clint was dead when Kree showed up to attack. The Avengers were confused as to why this was happening and finally Doctor Strange came and found out the reason for severe attacks between members of Avengers and the mutants.
The culprit was Scarlet Witch.
So he went to calm her down. With magic Strange held her powers deep inside her mind. But when men tend to play God, the Gods tend to hit them back more severely.
After some time Wanda started losing her sanity again, so all the members of the Avengers and mutants including her own father decided to kill her. But before they could go and finish her, the world changed.
She changed everything. She fulfilled all of people's wishes. Well, most of them. Erik wanted to rule the mutants and so he was the Lord of them. But since he wished that Charles Xavier was dead.
Every wish had consequences. Nothing comes free in this world. While the homo superior thrived, the homo sapiens suffered. John knew the future plot too and he couldn't wait to show this world how hypocrites they were. He wanted to show the Gods of the multiverse how big of hypocrites they were.
"So you are a sadist." Clint commented. He calmed down but he still had his bow in his hands.
"You don't get to judge when a member of your own team came after us with the intent of destroying our universe. For all I know you are more sadistic than me Clint. That ridiculous outfit should itself be a crime." John said and the next moment Clint's whole attire changed to a modern one.
John changed the attire of Clint by using one of the main suits he had in his Gate of Babylon. He really wasn't able to look at Clint with his purple iconic attire.
"What the... What is this?" Clint said as he saw his new outfit.
"Your new suit. It's better than your previous one. Can even protect you from explosions. But that doesn't mean you will catch a nuclear bomb. It can only stop small explosions. You are welcome." John said. Everybody was surprised by seeing such a move from John.
They didn't expect someone who just chained them to give them gifts.
"See I am not a sadist. I am just a watcher of sorts for you." John said as he mumbled sorry in his mind to Uatu. He was sure Uatu was watching all of this.
"You just said a member of our team went to destroy your universe. We don't even have any such powerful members. If we had, we would have taken down SHIELD already." Cloak said.
"It's because this world is upside down. You will understand my words later. But for now tell me where is Layla Miller?"

Everybody's eyes went wide when John said the name. It was as if they were struck by lightning.
"How.. How.. How do you know that name?" Luke asked, trembling.
"So she did pass by. Good, bring her here. We need to talk." John ordered.
"Why should we bring a young child here? So that you can torture her?" Barabara asked.
"Do I look like a paedophile to you? Stop with your disbelieving nature. I told you, if I wanted to hurt you, you would have been dead a thousand times. Bring her. I am sure you all have questions about her too. Yes?" John asked.
"How do you know all this?" Moon Knight asked as they were confused with this small girl who showed up at their doorstep yesterday night. The things which she said felt pretty confusing to them.
"I know a lot. You past, your present and even your future to some extent." John smiled and said.
"Bring her. Since he says that he can answer our questions about her, let her face it." Cloak said. A member of the Resistance went out and brought her after a minute or so.
The girl looked like 11-12 years old. Was blonde and she tied her hair from behind. She had a doll in her hand. She was shy so she put her head down. John got up from his seat and bent down to touch her head.
"Hello Layla." John said.
"uhhh.. hiii..." Layla replied in a meek manner.
"I am John Jameson. It's nice to meet you. Do you want a candy?" John introduced himself. He wanted to make the kid as comfortable as possible. So he brought out candies.
"Nice to meet you too." Layla now had a smile as she took the candies from his hands. She put them one in her mouth and her smile became bigger. She really loved the candy that John just gave.
"So Layla, what did you tell these grown ups?" John asked finally.
"I said that this world is a fake one. It's not true. This world shouldn't be like that. But none of them believed me." Layla said with almost tears in her eyes. John looked at her with sadness. She was a mutant but was an orphan.
She was the fail-safe of Scarlet Witch if anything went wrong. It was because of this that she knew everything from the original world. And she knew that this world wasn't supposed to be like this.
"It's okay Layla I believe you." John said.
"Really?" Layla said with almost a twinkle on her eyes.
"Yes. I believe you even if others don't. Now we both know that this world isn't what it is supposed to be." John said. The other members who were listening to the conversation were confused now.
The girl told them that this world wasn't real and was not what it was supposed to be. But they didn't believe her. But since she showed up on the doorstep they couldn't turn away for security reasons, so they let her stay in a separate room.
"Are you crazy or something? What do you mean by this world isn't what it is supposed to be." Clint said as now all were curious about this. John didn't reply to her but instead said
"Cloak, you should roam around the city. I am sure Logan will be causing havoc all around. Bring him. And yes, take out the chip from his body. You don't want sentinels to come after you." John said.
"Are we listening to his orders now?" Clint said.
"Clint, don't get on my nerves. This is the last warning." John said with a stern tone to him. Clint hearing this clenched his bow tighter but didn't rebuke John.
"Why should Cloak go and bring him here? He is a very high level agent of SHIELD." Luke asked instead. He wasn't sure why John spoke of Wolverine but he was curious.
"Because he is on your side! Go Cloak. The way you 'rescued' me, you can do the same for him. Just make sure of the microchip. You will understand why I said so after you go out. Be careful though." John said.
"What Wolverine is on our side? What a joke. A mutant will never side with us." Barbara said.
"They don't. But as Layla said, this world isn't supposed to be like this. Layla knows. And Logan knows too. Go bring him. He can't fight the SHIELD alone." John said. Cloak then nodded and vanished from his place.
"This is dangerous. We are playing with fire." Barbara mumbled.
"You were already playing with fire the moment Cloak decided to bring me here." John replied.
"And to be honest your team isn't much of a Resistance. So few members and you will just die out there. Why not try something else. Layla, do you want to eat something? I am sure you are hungry."
