John and others left for their universe so that they wouldn't get affected by the Flashpoint. Tony and others, who were eagerly waiting for their team to return, asked.
"Where is Barry?"
"He went to create Flashpoint." Wayne replied.
"Flashpoint? Why? What happened?"
Banner then proceeded to explain why everything had gone bad and they had to take that decision.
"I hope they don't have a Civil War between them and proceed to destroy their Earth in this Flashpoint." Tony joked remembering the premise of Flashpoint.
"I hope not."
And an hour later, John went back to their universe to bring Barry back. When John landed on that Earth, he tried his omnipotent power on the planet to see if there was any anomaly aor any kind of serious confrontation.
He was relieved to see that there was no major problem, though there were minor ones. He even saw Barry having a fun talk at Tony's house. John shook his head and vanished.
"Having fun, Are we?"
At the very next moment, John was welcomed with bullets from all sides. The invisible barrier from the gate of Babylon stopped all the bullets like it normally should, not that the bullets would actually hurt him even if there was no barrier.
"There is a breach!!" Tony shouted seeing that the bullets had no effect on this unknown enemy which had just appeared out of nowhere.
"Stop it Tony, this is John. The one I spoke to you about." Barry said.
"John? John Jameson? For the love of God can't you knock on the door?" Tony said in a complaining tone.
"Didn't know that you have become full paranoid. By the way, hello." John replied. He really was surprised that he was welcomed with bullets, even Tony of his universe wasn't that crazy.

"Uhh.. Nice to meet you.. But I blame Barry. His theory of Flashpoint has given me nothing but nightmares." Tony said.
"Hmm... How did you handle Unmaker?" John asked.
"Using the same way as your team did the last time. Only this time, we had time to build Faraday's cage around it, to make sure that the EMP doesn't spread to all of Earth."
John nodded his head listening to this.
"Who came up with that idea? Moon girl?" John asked.
"Yes. Wait, how do you know of her, Barry never mentioned her in your world." Tony asked. (moon Girl is the most intelligent person in their universe)
"I can see many things in both the past and future. Has there been any attack on this new installation around Unmaker?" John asked.
"Attack? No!! I made sure of it." Tony said. He really did make sure. His knowledge of Physics and Murphy's law prompted him to take extra care around Unmaker and he wanted to make sure that nothing happened to it.
"Hmmm... Well I will take precautions anyways. Call the Avengers. We need to talk." John said as he vanished from his place.
"Does he always do that?" Tony asked Barry who was busy sipping his coke.
"Yeah. And get ready for some ass whooping. He makes this face when he is really disappointed or angry with something." Barry said.
"Angry? Why? We did everything perfectly. Unmaker is under control and all in proper manner." Tony said as he was confused.
"I have no idea dude." Barry said as he was now gobbling a pizza.
"Whatever! it's not like he owns us or something." Tony said.

When John appeared again, he was in a desert. The desert looked lifeless with nothing around. But on closer look one could find small caves on the mountains which looked barren and rugged with stones.
The caves surprisingly had doors but they were very less visible as the door had the same color as the desert. John went and knocked at the door.
"Password." came the voice from inside the door.
"I am not here for drama and secrecy. Tell your boss to come out." John said in a stern tone.
"Look man you are way out of nowhere... whoever you are looking for..." the voice couldn't even finish his words when the door blasted open and hit right at the person's face throwing him back.
"I did say that I don't have time for bullshit. Didn't I?" John said.
The man held his nose when he got up. It was bleeding as the door hit right in his face.
"Guards..." the man shouted. And soon men started coming out with guns in their hands from the narrow passage up ahead. John didn't even care for them and took two spears in both of his hands from the Gate of Babylon and threw it straight.
The spears went straight through the men killing everybody in its path. The force was so massive that the bodies had holes in them, signifying that the spears went like a bullet, destroying everything in its path.
The person whose nose was bleeding was shuddering now.
