The next day a press conference was called by both Disney and Stark Industries together. It was said that Tony Stark will address about the death of John Jameson. The reporters came flocking by as the rumors itself was interesting enough. Soon the stage was set and the reporters took the seats.
After few minutes Tony emerged from behind and came up.
"So, the last few days had been traumatizing for you all I presume. With all the running around after the death of John. Well I am here to say that we have solved the puzzle of John's death. The truth is John Jameson is alive and well." Tony said as he pointed his finger to the stage behind.
The reporters were shocked by this sudden revelation and turned their heads to look at the direction where Tony pointed. John emerged from behind the stage with a smile. He came upto the center and said
"Good morning all. I know this comes as a shock to you all about me staging my death. I will explain it in a very concise way possible. My life was in danger and I was being hunted by a certain individual. We didn't know when I would be attacked. So I let myself in the open so that I could be assassinated openly. Of course that was a huge drama staged by me. The Avengers helped me in this regard. In the past few days when I was hiding the Avengers were able to catch the culprit and put him into jail. He would be seeing trial soon for an attempt to murder."
"This was all a joint operation of me and the Avengers." John said.
The reporters immediately got up from their seats and flocked around John for questions. John answered the best he could. Answering the reporters was probably his toughest work. After half an hour of answering, John left. He needed to go back to Disney to continue his work and handle the management again.
The people in Disney had already got the information that John faked his death. Bob and Kevin thanked the stars that John was back as he was the best boss and a living money making machine. They didn't want to loose such a great chairman.

The people of the world came to know about the fake death of John. Most of them were relieved as John had a huge and positive influence on people. His cartoons, movies and animes were top notch and people really loved him as a character. Though many were angry with John as the market fluctuated a lot due to his fake death, but it didn't really affect many people at the end as the term of his fake death was short.
"So did you miss me?" John asked everyone who came to the meeting in Disney.
"Of course Sir." Kevin said.
"Good. Anyways are the movies and series I asked to work on is on schedule?"
"Yes sir. One animated movie, one animated series and a superhero movie is on the right track. All the works are in post production sequence now. Everything will be out by the end of this year."
"Good. That's great."
John had planned many animes that would be released next year. Those animes could help him more. Even though he didn't really lack powers and he was almost at the top of food chain, he still wanted to have a plan if any situation goes south.
John discussed about the direction of the company and even said that he might be busy with a new company that would be launched soon with Tony. This new information made the others sad as they thought he might be busy with the new company and wouldn't give time to Disney anymore. John saw their expressions but didn't say anything about it.
He could never leave Disney as this was his lifeblood and Disney was basically the fuel to his power. After discussing everything John went home by evening. He was tired. The last week was a hectic one. With all the staged shows and being hidden from everyone was challenging for him. John inherently was lazy so too much mental work made him exhausted.
He returned to his bed but was sad too see that he was still alone. Emma still hasn't arrived from Oa. He even thought of going to Oa. The system powers didn't allow him to teleport to places where he could summon his characters. This was a huge drawback and almost cursed the system for it.
Soon days went by and it was the month of October, 2012. As he was came back home he saw that the door was opened. He felt suspicious but then he remembered something and immediately overjoyed. He almost ran inside only to see Emma standing wearing a sexy dress.
"Miss me baby?"
John almost ran to her arms and kissed her. John really missed her a lot. He lifted her up and went to the bedroom. They both needed to feel each other up before making a proper conversation.
