"Phoenix are you coming with us?" John finally asked.

"Can I stay here for sometime? I really like it here." Phoenix Force tweeted while sitting on the shoulders of Yamamoto. John raised his eyebrows when she said that.

"You can keep your God with us. She will be safe here." Yamamoto said as he too loved being with her.

"It's not her safety I am concerned about, it's about the storm she is going to raise with her presence in the soul society. I will be hated by the captains later." John shrugged his shoulders when he said that.

"Oye.. From which angle am I a problem giver. For all I care, it's you who gives me problems." Phoenix protested.

"You can rest assured. The Soul Society will be open to her and she will have enough freedom." Yamamoto said. John nodded as he wore his helmet. He hardly used the helmet recently as he always used Phoenix Force.

It was going back to basics for John.

"Alright, we are off. We will be waiting on the Ring. Phoenix, show them the way." John said. Phoenix nodded to that and then John vanished with his team of Midnight Sons and Daughters.

They were back at the Ring. And all looked exhausted. All of them wanted to know better about Seireitei and were curious about the deal but they were more tired. Being at place which smelt like sulfur always in itself was torture.

So right now they needed rest. And John too wanted a little sleep after all the killing and slaughter he did before. Though they were not exactly living people, they still had flesh and blood.

Everybody went to rest and even the Moon Knight trio went to the guest rooms of the Hall of Justice headquarters to rest. GAIA guided them to their place of stay.

When John returned to his home, he was greeted by his children who flew and hugged him. He was really grateful that he had so many children at his home to elevate his mood. He had a hard day and all he needed right now was love.

He greeted each and every one of them, and by now some could even speak.

"Dad, why can't I smell the Phoenix in you? Did she leave us?" one child spoke in a very teary tone.

"Uh.. No no.. your sister just went for a vacation. She will be back soon." John assured his child while thinking

"Dammit Phoenix, you better come back fast. My children will kill me if they come to know you have found another good host."

John after assuring his children went to the bath. He needed to cool himself off. That much drama and acting in a single day was too much for him.

No wonder actors are paid so highly!!

After a proper bath and food. He went to sleep and since it was night his children too joined him in his sleep. Later the whole week went as usual and John got busy with his children. And since he didn't have the phoenix force now, he gave his children food from his phoenix form of Marco.

Though it wasn't like their sister,it still worked. Meanwhile, Moon Knight and others applied for their exams of Avengers as they had decided to join the team.

Wayne, who had been the main recruiter, carefully studied them and later allowed them to join the team. Their Avengers team was getting bigger day by day.

And after a week, suddenly there was an alarm at the Hall of Justice.

"Eh!! Who is bold enough to come to the Hall of Justice without invitation. Guilty Spark!!" John shouted at the end and the images started to appear of who had come. And seeing the people he wasn't surprised by their arrival.

"GAIA have the Avengers been notified?" John asked.

"Yes. They are on their way. Shall I teleport you there?" GAIA asked.

"Ummhmm..." John said.

"Dad, take us with you. We want to see your workplace." said a child while sitting on his shoulder.

"Uhh.. Are you sure you want to go with me?" John was skeptical. His world was dangerous so he didn't want his children to be affected now. And moreover, if his father came to know that he took all of his children to the Hall, he would probably sue him in court for child endangerment.

"Please dad, we have heard so much about you from the Spirit. We want to go." the child insisted.

"Ok fine I will take you. But don't tell your grandpa or your mother. I don't want to be homeless." John said in a low tone.

"Promise." all the children called out unisonly.

"GAIA, teleport us away." John and then all of them were in the Hall.

The people who came to the Hall were the Gotei 13 captains.

They were here to complete the imaginary deal they had with John.

Transfer of a dangerous criminal to the Avengers.

Aizen Sosuke.
