Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 35: The awaited superhero movie

June 4th, 2008

Today again there was a red carpet premiere in LA and John came for it with his family. The premiere for "Batman Begins" was a grand one partly because the American audience loved superheros and the story seemed like it was based on Tony Stark's life and this movie was silent jab to Tony's legacy.

After coming to the premiere John was surrounded by reporters again. "Mr. John, what are your expectations from the movie?" one reporter asked.

"I have very high expectations from it and we have already decided that there will be a sequel to the movie soon." John said. This was a new information for them and they immediately asked John about it but didn't reveal any more information about it.

"Mr. John, some say that this movie is based on the life of Tony Stark and you taking an aim to him. Is that true?" another reporter asked.

"Of course not, I know the media is trying to portray in such a way but let me assure the story has nothing to do with the life of Tony. This is just a made up conspiracy theory" John said with high confidence even though the reporter didn't feel he was speaking the truth. "Excuse me! My friend is here. I need to say hello to him" John said after rejecting further questions.

"Hey Coulson, What's up? Fury didn't come to the premiere? I heard Sasuke saying that the negotiations went good. Congratulations" John said as he approached Coulson. Coulson came as he was the liaison of John and gather information from the movie about this new hero who is going to come to Earth soon.

"Thanks Mr. John. I would like to know when will Mr. Bruce come to earth?" He asked.

"You can call me John. You don't have to be formal with me. Treat me like a friend. He will arrive soon. Maybe within a month. I am not sure yet" John replied. "Thanks John. " Coulson replied

After few minutes of talking John noticed that an acquaintance also arrived. John didn't expect his presence. He could already see that the reporters were flocking towards him.

"I can wholeheartedly say me and Mr. John there don't have any rivalry. Don't try to find make weird stories from your conspiracies. Me fighting a person almost half my age is hilarious. If the military people hear about this they will laugh at me and cancel the contracts on ground of this. Don't you think so Mr. Jameson" Tony said as he noticed John approaching him.

"Of course Mr. Stark. I have already told them the same thing but they just refuse to believe me" John said with a smile. " I am surprised by your presence here Mr. Stark. Thank you for coming and sorry for not giving you an invitation. I didn't think you will be interested. Congratulations for winning this year's Apogee Award." John said

"Thank you! though the ceremony in a few weeks. You should come with me for the ceremony. Your ideas surprised even me kid. I am sure we can come up with something good. You can be my assistant in this." Stark said. He still had the arrogance which continued his entire life. John didn't mind his arrogance as he has the capital to back it. "Sure Mr. Stark. We will have lots of things to discuss in the future. Now let's go and watch the movie. I am sure you will like it" John said.

The movie started with a boy playing hide and seek with a girl and while hiding from her he accidentally fell into a well and suddenly the bats living in the well attacking him. The shot changed and then showed a young man with handsome face in a foreign prison opening his eyes. He had a fight soon with the inmates and then was caught while in the middle of the fight and thrown to a locked cell by the guards.

Suddenly a man came out of the shadows and said "Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in so that you can fight them one at a time"

"Actually there were 7." The young man said.

"I counted 6 Mr. Wayne" The main in suit replied

"How do you know my name?" the young man said with solemness now leaving his careless attitude from before.

"The world is too small for Bruce Wayne to vanish". The man in suit said "My name is Ducad, but I speak for Raas al Ghul, leader of League of Shadows". He continued by saying his purpose of his presence and asked him to join a group of warriors fighting for justice.

The movie followed by him going to the place where Ducad asked him to go and joining the League of Shadows.
