章節 41: The meeting of bigwigs

"It's nice to me you too Mr. John Jameson. How do you know me? There has been no such information in my database of us meeting" Jarvis said with a monotonic voice

Tony looked at him with surprise too. "I know a lot Jarvis. And you too Tony. I know your past, your present and future." John said. Pepper too looked to him weirdly.

"My future? Is that why you warned me to be safe in Afghanistan? Why did you not inform me from before?" Tony asked seriously

"Tony I don't want to influence too much of your destiny and this journey was necessary for you. Didn't you get to see the horrors of your own creation" John said

Before Tony could reply they saw a luxurious car coming towards them through the gate. The gate mechanism didn't stop the intrusion surprisingly.

"Sir, I couldn't stop his intrusion. He disabled the gate's mechanism" Jarvis added. Tony heard it but he didn't say anything as he had a hunch of who the person was. After the car stopped a handsome tall man with black hair came out. He looked lean and had muscles in all the right places and that was visible even though he wore a suit.

"How are you holding up Tony ? You should replace that thing in your chest. It's not working in full efficiency. Hello John. Its nice to see you again. I like the new home you arranged. It's spacious. Thank you. That trip was fulfilling. Got to see the scum of this world too" the man said after coming out of his Mercedes in a deep voice.

"You must be Bruce. Thank you for saving me there" Tony said after realization

"You would have saved yourself anyways. That suit would have kept you alive." Bruce said. "Hello miss Potts. You must be confused. I am Bruce Wayne. It must be hard to handle a guy like Tony." he added while greeting Pepper.

"Hello, I am sorry I don't recognize you" she replied with more confusion.

"Pepper this is Bruce Wayne. You know him by other name. The batman. You remember the movie right? He is that Bruce Wayne." Tony said to pepper.

"What? You are batman? How is that possible? Batman is just a movie? I remember the movie. There is no Gotham city here." Pepper said. Actually Tony had the same doubts but he didn't get to ask. If batman was a real person then why will John make movies. Because according to what he understood Batman's superhero avatar is based on stealth. Making a movie on him will just expose him.

"Well that's what I wanted to say. We don't belong to this universe. Rather to a different parallel universe. Due to unknown reasons we traveled to this earth. And John has the powers to identify beforehand who will come to this world. He makes the movies because so that the people who came or will travel in the future can approach him and he can make the traveler understand their situations." Bruce said

"You mean you don't belong to this earth. So the theory of parallel universe is real. This is unbelievable. Wait by your words you mean there are other people who have traveled before? Who are they? The transformers? And you mean other travelers will also come?" Tony said

"Yes some have traveled. Bumblebee has already arrived. He is my car. Others from Cybertron haven't come. I am not sure if they will. I just dreamed of their story. Others too have arrived and I have arranged for them accordingly. The other party was the one who rescued Yinsen. Don't worry Yinsen is fine. They are the best in medical" John interjected. Tony was shocked inside.

"So Yinsen is fine. That's good, I hope to see him soon, the big liar" Tony smiled as he said that and then suddenly asked excitedly. "Can I see Bumblebee?"

"Sure, but he is in New York. You will have to go there to see him" replied John.

"So Tony I guess you will work on your suit now. Do you need help?" Bruce asked Tony. Tony was silent for a few seconds and then after thinking of all the horrors he saw in his captivity. He wanted to do something about it.

"Can you help me? I am not judging you but your suit and my suit are totally different." Tony said with a hint of pride because he felt that batman's suit will not be worth mentioning in front of his metal suit.

"Who do you think made the plane that rescued you?" Bruce replied without any emotion.

"What you made that plane? Didn't Lucius make it?" Tony asked in a surprised way.

This time it was John who replied "Tony don't trust the movies that I make very much. Movies and real life story is different. Like you he is a genius from his world. His butler Alfred too is very knowledgeable. The movie that I made is another version of Batman in another universe. There are many similarities but there are differences too"

"I understand. Sure batman let me see how much of a genius you are. I will handle somethings before and in a few days we will start making the suit." Tony said

"Sure I will bring Alfred to help too. I too might get some inspiration for my bat suit" Bruce said.
