"Seems like you know a lot about us." another voice said as there appeared an old woman's image on the screen. The image of the woman was apparent that it wasn't real because that woman actually didn't exist in reality.
The woman was the embodiment of Supreme Intelligence. She was a very advanced AI who was the supreme ruler of the Kree Empire. Her knowledge was an accumulation of Kree's previous scientist, philosophers, thinkers and other such notable personas that had died in Kree history. She basically was like Ultron but with lesser violence.
John knew about her from the comics and from the movie of 'Captain Marvel'.
"Oh yes I know a lot from your experiments of inhumans to the betrayal of Carol. So would you still threaten me?" John asked. The supreme intelligence didn't show any emotion as being a supreme AI you can always tend to show almost no emotions.
"You just made an enemy out of Thanos by killing one member of the Black Order. Are you sure you can handle the enmity of the Kree too."
"I just made an ally with Nova and do you really think that Thanos scares me? Or do you think your Kree has any juice left after the war against the Skrull? You should care about your own species and their survival. The pure blood of yours should have stopped evolution for years now, I presume that's the reason behind your experiments of inhumans. Care about your race's survival, not mine." John said.
"What? How do you know this? Who are you?" the supreme intelligence asked in a more anxious tone if showing anxiety was all possible for an AI.
"Didn't you know my name? It's John Jameson. And you don't need to know this. You be in your path and let me be in mine." John said.
The supreme intelligence was silent for few seconds before saying "I hope we won't be enemies Mr. Jameson. The Kree empire won't look for you in the matter of Dark Aster. Wish you good luck for the future." And thus ended the call.
"Wow she cut the call directly. That was rude. I guess the Kree Empire still has a hidden communicator in Dark Aster. It doesn't matter. Will ask Victor to flush it out. The work here is done. Lex can handle the situation here. It's time to go back home. Tony has almost finished the research. Will pick up Bucky on the way home."
Thus with that the day ended. The next day John asked Victor to flush any extra spy communicator from the system of the Dark Aster. The repairing personnels said that it would take only 2 days to repair the whole of the ship as there was only a damage on the hull and nothing else happened to the interior of the spaceship.
John thought it was enough time to wrap things up in Xandar. In the 2 days he attended a meeting with the Nova Prime while asking her to take care of the company and by a year the Lex Corp will release spaceships that wouldn't need jumping points in space to travel.
The Nova Prime was ecstatic about it as the Nova Empire would be the first exclusive customer of it and thus giving them an edge over other empires in terms of military power as Lex Corp wouldn't sell such spaceships outside the empire as of yet.
Quill, Rocket and others banded together to form the so called 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. They decided to be space mercenaries while Groot being the trouble locator with the ring. Rocket decided to cash on the enemies that Groot would be catching and thus gaining money.
John was happy to see this as at the end their story didn't deviate much. Quill's father is what gave John a headache. He didn't know how he would handle Ego.
"Whatever! I will deal with at as it comes."
On departure day
Everybody came to see him off. Even the Nova Prime and the council members. They still had a fear for John and thus wanted to leave a good impression of them.
"See you soon Lex. Release the movies in the order that I tell you. This is the perfect time to release the Green Lantern movie as many people have seen the Green Lantern in the last fight." John said.
"I understand. Within a month I will release the movie after proper preparation."
John, Victor and Flash went to Dark Aster which has been remodeled now for luxury travel instead of just being huge 'drop' ship. John already had a different plan for Dark Aster from the moment he got his hands on it. He wanted to see if he could implement his ideas onto it.
The Dark Aster took off along with FOS as he directed it to follow the Dark Aster.

"Victor take us to a barren planet where nobody is there and bring out the cube. I need to transform Dark Aster." John said.
"Sure." Victor said. Barry was excited as they all knew that a new living being would be created now and this would be the first time him seeing it. They soon found a barren planet. FOS too followed as it too wanted to see an new huge companion like itself. They all wore their Kryptonian suits and went out after the Dark Aster landed. John took the Cube too.
After coming out, John directly used the Cube on Dark Aster. After a spark covered the entire ship, the Dark Aster ship started transforming. Soon the whole ship turned into a huge humanoid giant of about 20 metres tall. It looked black with blue eyes and had almost the same body structure as a human being.
"Hello guys. I am Dark Aster. It's nice to meet you all." it said with a loud tone. Everybody greeted him. Barry was excited about the huge transformer and ran upto the shoulders of Dark Aster to talk with him.
"Well, we don't have to name you. Now for the other part." John said as he summoned the system. He had another plan with Dark Aster.
[Ding

"Extract two mother boxes"
[Ding
Command accepted]
In front of John now there were two mother boxes floating. Victor who was talking with Dark Aster was taken aback. He had a small fear of the boxes even though it saved his life.
"Victor one mother box will be given to you so open boom tubes whenever required. Do you understand?" John said.
"Yes. I will keep the mother box safe with me. What will you do with the other one?" Victor asked.
"I will give it to Dark Aster. Hey DA can you assimilate this mother box into your body?" John asked. DA reached out his hand to let John give the mother box to it. DA scanned the mother box for few seconds and after calculation he said.
"I can assimilate perfectly and open teleportation circles, otherwise known as boom tubes. The mother boxes have too unlimited energy and I could use it for eons."
"Perfect. Assimilate it. And then transform yourself back." John said.
Dark Aster took the mother box and inserted it to it's chest. There was perfect hole being made there to keep the mother box. After inserting it, the whole body of Dark Aster had a massive transformation as it looked more sleek and sharp. If before Dark Aster looked bland now it looked more beautiful than ever.
After everybody appreciated it's beauty it transformed itself to spaceship. Everybody boarded the ship then. And looked around the inside. The whole ship looked more beautiful now from inside too.
"Where do you want to go?" Dark Aster asked.
"Take us to Oa. Open the boom tube for FOS too." John said.
"Ok" DA said it opened a huge teleportation circle near Saturn. DA and FOS went inside the portal only to see they are on the other side of Saturn. Both the spaceships flew towards Oa and he had already informed.
After a few minutes the spaceship landed at Oa. John had come to take away Bucky as he was sure he would have been cured after a long time now. Barry and Victor both joined John in meeting Bucky as he was supposed to be a member of the team. They both were looking forward in meeting him.
Soon John found out Bucky and was surprised to see him training few people. From the opponents John could see they were wearing rings. Bucky was training hand and close combat to the new lanterns.
"Hey. Having fun teaching them." John asked.
"Hey. When did you come back?" Bucky asked but now he had a smile in his face. John was happy to see Bucky smiling as it meant he had recovered from the control.
"Are these the new friends you went to bring back. Hello! I am Bucky Barnes. I am sorry I don't know your names."
"Victor Stone"
"Barry Allen."
"Nice meeting you all."
"Bucky we are here to take you back home." John said.
"Yeah about that. Can I return later. Hal is shorthanded with all the new lanterns and these babies need a proper trainer. I like being here away from all the noise at earth." Bucky said with hesitation.
"Huh. Do you want to continue living here?" John asked.
"The Guardians helped me heal and now I want to do return the favor. You all don't need me on Earth anyway. I could be of great help here." Bucky said.
"Are you sure about that? Did you talk with Steve?" John asked.
"Yes. I am sure. I have talked with Steve, he was happy about my decision."
"Alright fine. If you ever want to come back, give me a call." John said.
