"Mr. Jameson. You are way out of your home." the woman said in a half hearted smile. To be honest she feared Jameson. Even though Jameson had never shown his face as an Avenger, it was always presumed that he was one.
She followed the news of the world closely even if she was far away from civilization. And there had always been a mysterious man in the Avengers team. The Phoenix, whom the people thought was Marco. But there was nobody called Marco or even looked like him in the team. So many speculated it was a hidden member and since John had been associated with the Avengers for quite a long time many thought of him as the hidden member.
"I am exactly where I should be Ajak." John replied this time. Yes, John showed up to meet with Ajak, the leader of the Eternals and the only Eternal who could connect with Arishem. Ajak was taken aback that John knew of her actual name. They had all changed the names in official pages as their names might sound really odd to people. They did this to blend in more with the people.
"I don't understand Mr. Jameson. I am not Ajak." she replied.
"You don't understand? Do you want me to bring all the Eternals? What do you think will happen if I call Arishem now?" John said. Ajak almost stumbled when John spoke of Arishem. That was a name they never mentioned in public.
None of the eternals in all courses of history had ever mentioned that name. They might have influenced humanity but made sure they kept the Celestials out of all the lores. But John here mentioned Arishem which meant he knew about everything. She sighed.
She didn't know how much John knew about her and the whole plot of Tiamat, so needed to talk to him very carefully. The humans now don't take the aliens in a very good way.
"How do you know about us?" Ajak asked finally.
"I know a lot. But for now let's go inside and talk. Shall we?" John asked with a smile. Ajak felt relieved inside as she saw John smiling. At least John could be reasoned with, she just hoped John didn't know about the emergence.

"How are the horses?" John asked as she left the horses in the stable. Then joined John and went to the porch of the house. They both sat down on the chair.
"You came all the way to talk about horses?" Ajak asked.
"Well no. I am on a vacation. I will be leaving soon, so I needed to figure my timeline out."
"Oh. Where are you going?" Ajak asked.
"To a different universe." John replied.
"Oh. So there are really different universes out there and the multiverse theory is real?" Ajak replied.
"Of course it is real. Governments can't always hide big things every time." John said.
"Hmm. Well the people in authority don't always tell the truth." Ajak said with a sad tone.
"They don't. You must be quite experienced in this regard. Must be an expert in it." John said.
"I don't understand Mr. Jameson. What do you mean?" Ajak said as she became serious. She had a bad feeling about this.
"You understood me perfectly Ajak. You hid the real purpose of Eternals for centuries. Only Ikkaris knows about the truth. Doesn't he?" John said. Ajak now knew for sure that John here knew of everything. The real purpose of their arrival.
She got scared now. She wasn't actually a fighter like most of them and she was more of a leader. She wasn't sure what John would do now since he knew the truth. She just prayed that it wouldn't turn out ugly.
"How do you know all this? Even your forefathers weren't born when I said to Ikkaris about everything."Ajak asked as there was no point in lying now.
"Didn't I say before? I know a lot. A lot more than you can imagine." John smiled. Ajak has a sad face now.
"So why are you here now? To kill us?" Ajak asked as she clenched her fist. She for sure knew that John was powerful, but she wouldn't go down without a fight.
"That depends on which side you are on." And as they were talking, a Chansey came out of the home with a plate of snacks and juices. John was surprised that Ajak had a Pokemon with her. His butterfly effect was now everywhere.
Ajak after listening to the question looked at Chansey with a loving eyes and said
"I can never leave my sweet little Chansey to die. So no, I will stop the emergence with all my strength. The humans might be bad, but the Pokemons didn't do any harm. They don't deserve such an ending."
John was surprised by that reply. In the actual story she went back on the decision because the people of Earth brought everybody back with the help of Avengers. Ajak after seeing this decided to stop the emergence. But now Thanos hadn't snapped so everybody was alive.
