343. Departure

The next day early morning as they were having breakfast John said.

"Dad, I will be leaving soon."

"You mean the Ring? Yes. That is fine. We all have work to do." Jameson said as he understood his son has more important matters to attend to. John shook his head at this.

"You mean to the universe? I thought the Avengers didn't have a spaceship that can travel in space." Jameson said, speculating about his son's travel.

"We do have Kryptonian ships for travelling but I am not going into further space." John said.

"You have Kryptonian ships too? Damn." Jameson said. "Wait, if you are nor going to space, then where are you going?" Jameson asked with curiosity now.

"I am going to another parallel universe." John said in a low tone.

"What?" Jameson now was surprised. He immediately kept the fork down from his mouth.

"Yes Dad, I will be leaving for another universe. This is a mission I have to take." John said.

"Who else is going with you? I know that you are an Avenger and from the videos I have seen I can almost tell that Dr. Fate is you but why are you taking this journey?" Jameson.

"Wow you did research on the videos too?" John asked with a smile.

"I am an investigative reporter at heart and Avengers is related to my son so of course I will check on it. Now answer me, who else is going with you? Can you even travel into another universe?"

"Yes. Since you know I am Dr. Fate you know that I know magic now. And that magic power is enough for me to travel. For now, I will travel alone."

"That's a no for me. Take someone and go." Jameson refused to let his son go alone.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Dad. Listen to me. Only I will be safe out there. If anything bad happens I can always come back here instantly. If I take others it will be dangerous. I can escape danger easily. Not others." John said.

"What about this new so-called Sorcerer Supreme? What was his name again Mr. Strange.. Or whatever.. I heard he is good. Take him." Jameson still refused.

"Dad, he is the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. He always needs to stay here and defend Earth. I don't have such obligations. I will have to travel to another universe. There is no other way." John said with a serious tone.

"Why are you taking this dangerous journey? I don't know if there are other dangers in other universes but our universe has enough."

"Dad, you are not understanding. I will have to take this mission even if I don't want to." John said.

"Is it related to the fight in the Himalayas?" Jameson asked.

"Huh!" John was surprised that his father could even connect to that battle near Kamar-Taj. John then nodded his head at the speculation of his father.

"I knew it." Jameson said.

"How did you guess it?" John asked.

"You Avengers normally do so much fanfare if there are any problems. Especially Tony Stark. But only in that terrifying battle nobody spoke a single word. It was as if that battle never happened. I knew something was fishy in that battle. What happened in that battle? Enemies from another universe? Is that why you are leaving?"

"Enemies? Not exactly. The story is a little more complicated than you think so I would rather not go deep in it. Only thing I can say is that you don't have to worry. I will come back in a year." John reassured his father.

"Do you really not need any backup?"

"Backup would only be a hindrance for me. I will be fine Dad. Don't worry." John said.

"I can't stop you even if I want to. I will just pray that you come back safe. I don't want another Hydra-like debacle." Jameson said, referring to him playing dead during the whole play.

"I will be totally fine. Just wait for me." John said.

"Did you inform Emma?" Jameson asked.

"I will later." John said as he finished his breakfast. Later John called Emma and spoke about his trip. Emma was more understanding than his Dad as she herself was a super powered being so she knew the whole burden of it.

He was happy that Emma was supportive of his journey. Even though she was scared for him, she understood that it was important for this universe.

John after saying his farewells to both his father and Val went to Disney. He would be leaving soon so he needed to sort some of the stories out for them for the rest of the year. After 2 days of directing Disney he was ready to go to Earth - 616. The place where it all began for Marvel.

John then waved his hands and conjured a spell. A gate which looked like an Ankh appeared in front of him.

"Here I come lads." John said to himself.
