Tony didn't join the meeting. He was too angry and worn out mentally to even attend the meeting. So he just left. John didn't mind that, he was actually little surprised.
He thought Tony would be more adamant in killing Bucky. That was anti-climactic.
"First of all, I am sorry Bucky. I introduced the team in such a way that you all had to almost had a close call of death. But I needed that secret to be out. I can't jeopardize our team for such a secret." John said.
Bucky nodded his head to John but didn't speak. He had always been silent and now after going through such times he had become more like a monk.
"I guess Steve has introduced every one of us to you. So I will skip the formalities. I called everyone here because firstly I will be leaving Earth soon for bringing more members to the team. They have landed in another planet and Earth is too unknown of a planet for them to find us." John said.
"Space travel? We don't even have spaceships." Arthur said.
"We have. It's just that it's landed in Mars for us to use." John said with a smile.
"Spaceships in Mars? Is that the reason why you asked us to make Starscream? So that we can go to Mars and occupy the spaceships?" Wayne asked.
"Yes and also because we have a world engine machine in Mars. We will terraform Mars according to Earth. I want to colonize Mars and have people settle there too." John said.
"The world engine of the Kryptonians. They have arrived too? My God. That is a very powerful weapon. Will the governments even allow us to keep that weapon?" Banner asked.
"Doesn't matter if they don't allow us. I will make sure they follow us and don't disturb us. During wars it's us who take the front lines. And it's not like the weapon is at Earth. Wayne can have access to the world engine and since he is an official of the government he can help us convey our thoughts to the world council when the time comes."John said.

"It still won't be easy. They will come after us." Steve said. He knows how politics works. Politics is dirty and it will be a heavy weight for them.
"I know. I will use countermeasures against it. Don't worry about them. They are just jumping clowns." John said as frankly he never cared about weak people who just know how to sway pubic opinion. He had more than one way to deal with them.
"So you will take a Kryptonian ship and fly with one to bring new comrades?" Mera asked.
"Yes. That's the plan. It will be long journey and there would be enemies too." John said.
"Enemies? Will they be powerful. Do you need our help?" Diana asked.
"No. I will be fine and new comrades will join in too. So it will be easy." John replied.
"John I have a request. Can you take Bucky with you. I guess the planets in the universe will be more advanced than us. I wish to cure Bucky completely. I am not sure if their physiology is same as us but I want him to be at least checked. Plus you have seen how Tony is with him. Bucky needs to be out of picture for sometime." Steve asked.
"Are you sure about that? He will still have to go to Mars and I am pretty much sure Tony will join in our first adventure to Mars." John asked.
"It's ok. If it's not much trouble I will join in this adventure and try to keep Tony out and help Bucky."
"OK fine. It's not like we are going now to Mars. Will still take a couple of months for us to go. I hope Tony will calm down by then." John said.
"Another thing about us is that there might be a new member among us. It's Geralt. I guess all of you have seen his character from the game I made. He is in New York and currently completing a witcher contract of mine. After he completes that he will join the team." John said.
"Wow I played that game. He knows a bit of magic. Does magic really exist?" Banner asked.
"Yes. It exists. But there are different forms of magic." John said.
"Good a new member. Even though I didn't play the game I went through the character. Doesn't he play solo always." Steve asked.
"He will do anything for coins. Don't bother with that. It's a pity that Natasha and Clint didn't join the meeting. I heard Fury was able to convince Oliver to join." John asked Wayne.
"Yes. I have known him from my universe. Seeing me sitting as the Secretary he decided to join. They went on a mission to search for Strucker." Wayne replied.
