"Then what do you want us to do? Sit here and see our mutant brothers and sisters suffer?" She-Hulk asked.
"What Tony said is right. If we do anything it will just add fuel to the fire. People will hate us for it. After all the things that just happened, nobody would listen to us and just outright hate us." Strange said.
"But they are suffering. We need to stop this madness." Steve still insisted.
"Let's do a vote. Who wants to help the mutant, raise their hands. Who doesn't can refrain from that action." Strange said. And not surprisingly only two held their hands high.
Steve Rogers and She-Hulk.
Others refrained from raising their hands. And that included even the marvel universe's darling, Peter Parker.
"So it is decided, the Avengers won't participate in anything related to mutants until a concrete situation is reached." Tony stood up and said. Scott was angry seeing all this. They all took action against Wanda together. And now when the mutants were in dire need of help everybody turned their backs.
"John was right. He said we all act like Gods. He was right the whole ti. We are nothing but hypocrites." Emma said as her voice croaked due to tears. All the Avenger mbers held their heads down. They couldn't refute it.
"We all are just public pleasing superheroes. Never for a mont do we think of our rights, our responsibilities." Emma said as she blad herself too for this. Their own mutant kind was also in this whole plot.
The whole machine had been rolling for a long ti. And now they didn't know how to stop it. The Avengers took this tough decision because they not only represented this small team but also many superheroes affiliated with the Avengers.
The main team took this decision after considering all the angles. All wanted to help but if the Avengers were involved many other people would get involved. Including the governnt and that would be more problematic to deal with.
As they were silent there was a clapping sound in the room. All got alert suddenly hearing this sound. The eting was a closed one and nobody was allowed to co in. Everybody made sure of that but out of nowhere this sound ca.
When all turned their head to the sound, they saw a man who was invisible before ca to light. It was John who took off his cap of invisibility.
"John. Hey.. Umm.. I am sorry we didn't invite you to the eting. We didn't have an address. Thank you for helping us bring all of the team together before." Tony said in a ek voice. Everybody was alert.
Nobody here trusted John. He had been saying that he ca to et soone but they have no idea who. First they thought it was Strange. But more than two weeks had gone by but he never showed up again on the doorstep of Sanctum Sanctorum.
And they always thought that John had an ulterior agenda. Especially now. He had shown up un-announced. The Avengers didn't even know about him. Even Spider - Man's senses failed to track him and Strange's magic too.
John finally removed the helt for the first ti. He didn't need his helt anymore to stop the incursion from Emma's telepathic powers. Even though he hasn't beco the host of Phoenix Force, having been chosen by it was already enough to get by with many things such as defence against telepathy.
The Avengers finally got to see his face. He looked extrely handso (thanks to Gilgash's charm) and had an aura about him. The aura that only a King could possess. But what surprised them was his eyes.
Those eyes represented sothing else. Many here had seen the Phoenix Force before so they knew John was the host of Phoenix Force. This scared the Avengers more.
"You all did exactly what I expected. After mutants lost their powers, you chose not to interfere. You all care about nothing but reputation. No wonder the Builders went around destroying you all. You all deserve that. I feel ashad to even think that I belong to the team of the sa na. You don't even have the guts to take responsibility for your own actions." John said.
"What we do here is our matter. Who are you to interfere?" Black Panther said.
"You know T'Challa I expected better from you. Your own wife is a mutant. I expected you at least to raise your hand." John scolded.
"I have a kingdom to manage. I can't always take decisions from my heart." T'Challa replied but this ti in a lower tone because what John said was correct. He couldn't even protect his own wife. Even though Wakanda was a closed country, it was still a country and had to deal with world politics.
"You are right. Now all you do is politics. You have lost your essence. Each and everyone of you. You have forgotten what it ans to be an Avenger. Let change that." John said as he used his omnitrix to turn himself to an alien.
An alien that would be just perfect for his next move
Alien X.
All saw as John suddenly changed into a new form. A huge man who looked weird. His body looked like it was made of small stars.
"What is this? What are you?" Tony said as he had a bad feeling. Before anybody could answer or react, John's new form spoke. A voice which sounded like it was a combination of three voices.
"NO MORE AVENGERS."
