Multiverse of Marvel - Chapter 496: Inaction
Chapter 496: Inaction
When the pain hit him, he screamed. His telekinetic control over Miles was lost and he was free. Apocalypse used his other hand to stop the bleeding but there was a massive wound with even his white bone visible.
There was a loss of blood but the wound surprisingly started healing. Apocalypse had a healing factor too though not as crazy as Wolverine but was still there. And after a minute of deep breaths, the healing was enough to stop the bleed.
“What do you want?” Apocalypse finally said in a quivering tone. He knew this person was a totally different case. None of the superheroes he had seen before had the audacity or the courage to do it. Though some of them had been more powerful than him, they still were restrained on moral grounds.
But this guy!!
This guy was on a whole different level. He didn’t show mercy to anyone. He now regrets it a bit. He should not have taunted him, especially after seeing how he laid corpses as he arrived here. That should have been the alarm bell.
Just that he mis-gauged his power. He didn’t even see how his hand was cut.
“What do I want? Are you dumb? I have been screaming the reasons for my arrival since I barged in. Didn’t you listen?” John asked.
“You want me to stop the research of Unmaker?” Apocalypse finally asked.
“Yuppp. And rightfully hand over yourself to the Avengers.. If not… I will have to send you to the Kingdom of Death.” John said.
Apocalypse shuddered hearing this. He knew what this person just said, he would really carry it out. This person was serious in killing him. Apocalypse was thinking hard what to choose. He really was contemplating death. Because he was forced to work for unveiling the Unmaker.
“Are you seriously contemplating death over imprisonment?”
Apocalypse remained silent over this question.
“Whatever. I am taking you to the Avengers.” John said. And before everybody could even understand what was happening, they vanished. All 5 of them.
They appeared again in a huge hall. The headquarters of Avengers.
Reed recognized it even if the others couldn’t. He was surprised by such teleportation.
“You could have appeared near Apocalypse all this time?” Reed asked.
“Of course and could have killed him long ago. I was just having fun and needed to kill some pests.” John said.
“You took matters into your own hands without any proper court.” Reed mumbled. John then turned around and looked at Reed.
“Your inaction all these years could have proven costly if I didn’t handle this guy here. Your universe and multiverse would be in jeopardy just because you morons decided to follow law. I don’t belong to your Avengers. So don’t gauge me by your standards. Sometimes I really think the ultimate version of you is better than your normal version.” John said.
(The ultimate version (Earth 1610) Reed Richards is a villain. Known as the Maker. He is also an important character. Especially during the secret wars 2 event. He will show up too.)
“My ultimate version? You mean in the multiverse?”
John didn’t reply to that as Tony had arrived inside the hall with Barry and a few other people. Tony’s alarm again went off but this time there were no bullets. But when Tony came inside he was surprised to see Reed and other known faces.
And even a famous villain. With a lost hand and looking pale.
“What the hell is going on?” Tony asked.
“Ask them. I am just a visitor to your universe.” John said.
“We need to talk with everyone and I need to apologise.” Reed said as he looked down. He was still feeling guilt but he needed to come out clean about what he had done.
“Apologise? Why? Weren’t you in the Unmaker facility. Why are you with him?” Tony was confused.
“I will reveal everything, just call for a meeting.” Reed said.
“Already called. Mr. Jameson here had already asked for this long ago.” Tony said.
Reed was surprised that Tony knew this guy and even the name. Even they didn’t catch the name of this person. Only Miles did.
“Understood.” Reed said. Soon the video conferencing was placed in the hall with every famous member appearing on the screen. Professor X, Nick Fury, Steve Rogers and all the famous guys had appeared.
“Hey Tony, why this sudden emergency call. Has there been a problem?” Panther said. All were surprised to see Tony with an unknown face and even a famous villain.
Apocalypse.
“What is he doing there? Are you alright?” Strange asked.
“I am not responsible. Ask them.” Tony said, pointing out to Reed and his team.
“Sorry if I didn’t introduce myself before. This is John Jameson. From a different reality. Here to pick up our friend Barry and clean the house of yours free of cost.” John replied.
