Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 238: Ring (2)

"I am not like others, Ross. Don't try my patience. I can overlook your treatment of Banner before but don't even think for a second I am a soft one. I don't mind bringing out your darkest secrets and showing it to the public." John said.

Ross became silent when he heard that. He knew he might have crossed the line here.

"This is the last warning Ross and to the White House. Don't meddle in our affairs. Or I don't mind appointing our own President." John said as he removed the constructs. John then wore the helmet again and vanished without even listening to Ross or the others.

John didn't mind replacing the president but he chose not to do so as he believed everybody has free will and they deserve their freedom. The moment he introduces a character and changes the politics the people too would be his puppets. John didn't want that. It wasn't in his character.

He could have killed Ross easily too but this would create a turmoil and he didn't want any problems now when they were getting ready to welcome the new world.

John returned home to go to work as usual. The Halo game would be out in 3-4 months and he couldn't wait to extract the halo ring. He was checking with the CD Projekt RED and was waiting for the game to launch.

Ross on the other hand was angry but felt fear too. He directed his officials to bring out the camera videos of John threatening them and even spoke about changing the president but was surprised to see there was no such footage in the video. John used magic before he left so that nobody could ever point their fingers on him or the Avengers.

"How is this possible? How did he do that?" Ross asked his officials.

"Sir, I think John now is Dr. Fate. He belongs to the magic side. It is said that whoever dons the helmet will become Dr. Fate. Provided he is chosen by the helmet." said an official as he had been watching Justice League Unlimited closely.

"Magic? Like the witches of Wolf School?" Ross asked again as he knew about them.

"I don't know Sir." the official replied.

The days went by like usual and the Accords were finally taken back after a huge backlash. All the officials who were engaged in criminal activities were brought to court in their respective countries. And SHIELD made sure that the trial was fair. Umbrella had huge influence now and the governments were forced to follow the laws and give proper punishment to the officials. This would disrupt many workings of the government but John didn't care.

By the end of March, the Halo game was finally out. And since Halo was a classic, people loved it. The whole story arc of the Flood and the Covenants fascinated them. The game-play was exquisite.

After a week of the launch of Halo John directly went to the Hall of Justice as he called everybody. The Hall of Justice looked huge and it had a huge table for everybody to sit. The Wolf School didn't come as they were busy with all the alchemy and teaching Wanda sorcery. They weren't required for this anyway.

John even called Clint for this meeting. Everybody sat in their seats. Steve now had totally integrated with the League and everybody came to know the new role of Rogers and were surprised to know now that he was an underground lord.

"If only my father was here to see you, Captain." Tony mocked.

"The League will fight for justice and control the dark side of the world." Steve said.

"Just don't get eroded by the dark side yourself." Wayne said. Steve nodded at it.

"So why are we here John?" Clint asked.

"Our new headquarters will arrive today." John said.

"The one in space. Is it from the Halo game?" Natasha asked.

"Yes. The ring would be our new headquarter and maybe even our home as it is big enough and has its own weather cycle. And you have played the game I presume. The 343 Guilty Spark will be responsible for maintaining order." John said.

"The world governments won't like having such a huge satellite in our orbit." Wayne said.

"Yes, Halo would be like Mars so we can help some of them relocate there. I am sure the wealthy people would prefer to live on Halo more than on Earth. This alone would give us leverage. The AI would be like GAIA, a friend of ours." John said.

"They would try to snatch land from us." Oliver said.

"That will happen only if Guilty Spark will allow them to do so. And that would never happen without our permission."

"Understandable. Now guide the ring here. Victor, open the boom tube after the ring is seen from here." Tony said. Victor nodded to it.

John closed his eyes and extracted the Halo ring in the orbit right above them. The ring was much further away from the Earth's atmosphere so that original satellites wouldn't get hit by the Ring.
