Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 106: Apologizing

Everybody had tons of work to do after the demise of Hydra's top levels. Fury had to make a huge report to the world council about Hydra and the hidden moves he just made without consulting the world council. Of course appointing Bruce as the new secretary would also count itself in the report.

Tony and others were dispatched to kill the remaining Hydra agents. Since almost all the high levels were dead they needed to root out smaller agents before there is unrest in SHIELD. Fury asked for help from the kages and they happily dispatched many ninjas to deal with them.

John assured Bucky's story would be dealt with after proper time. Bucky was taken to an isolated chamber and only Steve had access to meet Bucky. Only Steve could trigger his hidden memories. John knew that getting back to normal would take time so he had just left it to others.

John reached home the next day. He was little trembling inside as he knew that his actions had hurt his father. He knocked at the door of his old home early morning. He had to wait for almost 5 minutes before the door opened.

What presented in front of him was a person who seemed that aged a lot and reeked of alcohol. Jameson looked disheveled and unkempt. John felt very guilty seeing his father in this situation.

"Dad. I am back."

Jameson who didn't even open his eyes properly trembled when he heard that voice. When he finally opened his eye fully and looked at his son, he was struck. The next moment he threw himself to John and hugged him tightly. Jameson didn't want to let go as he felt that he would loose his son again. After minute he finally let go.

"Son. You are back? You are really back? Back alive?"

"Yes dad. Sorry for all the pain. I was on a secret mission of SHIELD. I had to stage my death and make it as realistic as possible. I am sorry to hurt you."

Jameson looked at his son and finally believed his son to be real and that he wasn't hallucinating.

"Dad let's go inside and talk. You need to go and shower. You reek of strong alcohol. Where is Val?"

"Don't teach me what I need to do and what not. Val is at home. I sent her away. She was in tears everyday. It was hard for both of us. I will call her back now." Jameson said as he went to reach out for his phone.

"You should go have a bath first. I will call Val. I will make some breakfast for us."

"Ok. Don't run away again son. I don't want to loose you."

"Rest assured Dad. I will not run away again."

John informed Val to come back. Val was overjoyed to hear the voice of John again and rushed to their home. By the time she reached, breakfast was ready and Jameson came out of the shower looking fresh.

John apologized profusely to both of them and explained why he pulled such a huge prank. The story of Hydra and it's history and how the Avengers needed to stage such a huge net to catch it.

Jameson and Val finally forgave John as it was involved in world security. But Jameson was surprised that John had such close connections with Avengers group. The group of Avengers became famous after the New York War and Tony himself propagated the name of Avengers publicly.

Though he didn't reveal all the people but the people knew that from videos there were Thor, Diana, Bruce Wayne, Hulk and three other people. The most mysterious one was the man in Anbu mask. Most people didn't consider Green Lantern as an avenger as he didn't belong to Earth and his playground was the galaxy. Many people thought like Batman and Wonder Woman this new guy was a ninja but his powers weren't consistent with ninja powers and they were on the alchemy side.

That's why the people were very confused. Though many people speculated that it might be John Jameson, but he was just one of the suspects and there were many suspects.

"How will you deal with the press and public? They won't let you go after the huge prank you pulled on the world." Jameson said while eating.

"I will deal with them as I had always dealt with things. Using half truth." John said. They continued talking of how they managed to catch Hydra. Of course John didn't mention his powers. And conjured a half truth about how Avengers and SHIELD dealt with Hydra.

Though he doubted that John had alchemic powers but he never asked John as he felt it might be invasion of privacy. John was old enough to handle his private matters himself. In fact, Jameson felt proud of his son after what he had achieved of his age.

He had achieved what few people could not even dream in their whole life. If his son was a superhero too so be it.
