Chapter 108: The usual routine
*little bit of cringe*
Late in the morning the next day, John finally opened his eyes to see Emma lying with her arms around him. She looked way too beautiful and peaceful for John to handle.
He kissed her in the forehead. Emma opened her eyes slightly. She looked at John and said
"Seems like you really missed me a lot." Emma said with a sleepy tone.
"Yes of course I did. I can make you feel again of how much I missed you." John said with a evil smile.
"Stop. Don't you want to know how I was all these months?"
"Sure. What did you learn? What did the Guardians tell you?" John asked.
"Many things. Most of the records were from the previous universe. That universe was scary. The Guardians are still accumulating knowledge of this universe. This will take years. But I saw some records of this universe. Two words can be described for this universe. Utter chaos."
"Yes it's chaotic out there. Wars are constant in this universe." John said. Emma wasn't surprised by John knowing about this universe as he could dream many things.
"Yes so now it will be the responsibility of the lanterns to bring order. The Guardians said it will take a couple of years to make new sets of rings. I was the trial version of them. There had been some changes about the working of the green element."
"The Guardians decided that it won't be safe with me alone outside. So they will let me go for patrol only after the full lantern corps is created. Until then I am free."
"That's great. You can complete your studies too till then. They have been bugging me for you missing the classes the past few days." John said.
"Yes I can also be with you without much worry." Emma said. "Tell me about you. What did you do?"
"Me? A lot has happened. Uprooted an old organization and killed a bunch of people."
"Huh! What the hell happened when I was gone?" Emma asked.
John then proceeded to tell her about Hydra and how they killed everyone in Hydra. Emma was surprised that such a commotion occurred when she was away. But was happy that they came out victorious.
They talked for hours after that as they had so much to talk about. Emma talked about her life in Oa. She had went for sightseeing in the universe with Hal and even confronted a team of space pirates.
John was interested in this story and asked what did he see.
"Well there were aliens and basically scums of the universe. They were trying to hijack a traveling ship. We just blew their ships." Emma said.
"How does it feel to travel in the universe without anything?" John was always curious about how the green lanterns traveled. Even though he could do it himself now by changing him to green lantern but didn't have the chance to do it yet.
"It was refreshing in the beginning to see the distant stars clearly but it turns boring real soon. Its fortunate that we travel very fast otherwise I would just die of boredom. I must say travelling in such high speed feels weird."
"I can only imagine. Oh yes I will teach you about alchemy. For close range fights it will be helpful for you." John said.
"Sure. I will take defense classes too. I need to be better at it. Hal could defeat me without even using the ring."
John decided to take a day off today. He wanted to spend time with Emma. After having breakfast they got ready to go out and have fun. They went for shopping and even went to the Central Park and spent the rest of the day.
"We need a vacation." John said.
"Yes we do. We can all go together. Hal will come soon. With the Avengers we can have a good time." Emma said.
"Sure. After the movies come out we can all go together to a beautiful place."
The next few days went as normal as could be and it was finally the month of November. In the mid of November, the first movie of John for this year would be out. It was a animated movie and people were surprised that John came for the premiere himself. Even Tony Stark showed up for the movie.
Bruce too came for the premiere. He was now the Secretary of World Council. The world council accepted the conditions of the Avengers for putting Bruce as the Secretary. Of course Nick Fury didn't mention them that he was Bruce Wayne.
Fury had already made a whole history of Bruce before. Fury just said to the world council that he trusted Bruce and he wanted only him to he secretary. SHIELD had a huge number of ninjas too as Fury asked for help from the kages.
They had been very busy recently with killing the hidden agents. John deliberately didn't let SHIELD in the path of Von Strucker as Scarlet Witch was important for him.
