Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 77: The corps



Chapter 77: The corps

John had scheduled the release of a new limited series and a movie by the end of the year. This was his last preparation before the New York War. Even if there were variables in the war there was the world of Naruto to handle the situation.

John didn't want to expose too much of Naruto world as that might inspire fear in people instead of being fans. The story of X-men from his previous life was educational enough. He brought Naruto world for security purposes and handle emergency situations. The main heroes on the upcoming war would still be from DC.

On November, a new superhero series was released in Netflix (owned by John). The series talked about a rich playboy who got stuck in an island for 5 years when he and his father went for a sail in the sea. His returned 5 years later as a changed person and became a vigilante who fights crime. Yes, it was the story of Green Arrow of DC.

John needed this story to introduce another version of Raas al Ghul even though he actually didn't need it as he could always extract him from the Batman movie but he wanted to show the people about the power of Raas al Ghul. People loved the series as this story was kind of the story of Iron Man and Bruce Wayne. People expected this character too to be real after the emergence of Batman. So John gained a lot of fan values due to it. This surprised John a bit but understood why it happened.

After a month the scheduled superhero movie finally came out. Everybody came for the premiere, including Emma as Harry Potter was released in the previous month of November. As Bumblebee arrived at the premiere John and Emma came out while holding hands together. This was the first appearance in public together and John was happy to put end of endless gossips of his hidden relationship with Emma.

"So how does it feel to be in a superhero premiere? Do you want to act as a superhero later?" John asked her in a hushed tone.

"Are there any woman superheros like Diana? If there is I would love to act as such a character" Emma said with a smile.

"I don't know. Maybe my dreams of other worlds would guide me later" John said.

After giving a short interview everybody went for the movie. Even Diana traveled to watch the movie as she didn't know who this new superhero was that belonged to her world. Bruce knew who he was but didn't reveal.

The movie started exactly where the last post credits scene from Wonder Woman ended. The pilot who was in a simulated environment flew away while being covered in green light. The enclosed simulated room stopped near a crashed spaceship where he saw an alien creature in blood. The pilot ran towards the alien and tried to lift him up but the alien said

"No! It's alright. My time has come."

"You can speak English?" the pilot asked.

"No. It's the ring." the alien said while showing a glowing green ring in his finger. "It has chosen you. Take it". The ring floated away and entered the finger of the pilot.

The moment the ring entered the pilot's finger, a green suit appeared on his body. The suit looked realistic and cool. The movie was Green Lantern but this movie didn't follow the Ryan Reynold's plot but the animated version called "Green Lantern: The first flight". John had thought a lot and finally decided on Green Lantern. He wanted to bring Superman much later as it would cost him loads of fan values. Green Lantern might cost a lot but he was sure it would be little less than Superman.

Superman being an alien might be a challenge for people liking him at the beginning and Green Lantern being a human being while belonging to a greater power would be able to help John raise more fan values later.

"You are now a Green Lantern, one of the protectors of the universe. The Guardians will send for you. Use the ring wisely." the alien died after saying that.

Diana who was watching the movie finally remembered something, turned around and asked John "The Lantern corps? I thought everyone died in that war. They were mentioned in the Amazon's history. Did they survive?"

Fury and others who were nearby also heard Diana say that. Fury and Coulson like always came to the premiere. Diana's question piqued the interest of everyone including Emma as by now she knew a lot.

"Even if a Green Lantern dies, the ring will choose a new and worthy one. This cycle will carry on forever. So that war wasn't enough to destroy the Lanterns"

"I understand." Diana said

"What war are you both speaking of?" Emma asked now curious. Even Tony and others who listened to the conversation were curious.

"A war which almost erased all living beings of their freedom in their universe." John said with a solemn expression. Everybody's eyes went wide with surprise. Tony and Fury looked at Bruce. They could see Bruce clenching his fist and realized that this war was real and a tragic one.
