John opened the portal with his magic. They would be travelling again to the place where most of them didn't like. But there was nothing they could do. The fate of the multiverse was at stake again like always.

John felt that after this he would just take rest and live his life out. Knull was the last major enemy he would have to face as from the comics he knew that there could be no more villains. He was tired taking care of everything. All the other villains on the multiverse could be easily handled by the respective heroes.

He was pretty sure that even the heroes of his world would be exhausted by these constant threats.

"Tony, look after everything and don't go crazy."

"Hey.. I am the most level headed guy here."

And as they were ready to go to the other universe, suddenly a voice came out of nowhere. The voice was slow and chilly and just came from the door.

"Dad, take us with you."

"Huh..."

"Eh!!"

"What the..."

All the mutants were taken aback seeing 10 'aliens' coming inside the Hall. They had a weird cloak around their head and body and the moment they entered the temperature of the surroundings went down considerably.

"This is so cool!!" Iceman (a mutant from X-men movies) couldn't help but mumble under his breath. He was loving their presence and he could feel that the aliens that had appeared were of cold nature and he was excited by the thought of that.

"Dad???"

"Who is the dad here?"

"Neo, what are you doing here?" John saw that it was his children who had shown up. His children had grown up and they had been working in different sectors but most of them had a huge fascination for what their father did so they too took the mantle of being a superhero.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

And since their powers were pretty great they all were easily trained by the ninjas of SHIELD and they even went to the world of Naruto to know how to be a proper spy and know team coordination. John was proud to see what his children had become. Though few of them had turned into the administrative sector as some joined SHIELD in good administrative positions too.

But it couldn't be denied that all of his children were in the 'human protection' sector. This in itself was a huge thing for John. He couldn't have wished for more from his children.

"Dad take us with you to 616. We want to join you in this war."

"This will be dangerous."

"We have been training for quite a long time. We want to see the real battlefield."

John was in a hard situation now. Though he liked that his children too wanted to be superheroes but the situation here wasn't the same. Knull wasn't an easy enemy. He could now finally understand why Eddie refused to let his son Dylan out and be a superhero.

Situations like this are what a father dreads when his son or daughter becomes a superhero!! But if he denied their inclusion at this he would just sound as a hypocrite in front of Eddie to whom he had lectured a few days ago.

"Sigh!! You can join but not in the front lines. You will be responsible in saving people only. No frontal fights. Especially not against Knull. You see him, you fly away. No questions asked. He is a god of Darkness and we still don't have the God of Light with us."

"Got it dad.. Thank you for allowing us"

"I will be flogged at home when your mother sees a single scratch on your body, if she comes to know."

"Nobody will know."

All of his 10 children in order to intimidate the people present lowered the temperature by a lot. This was a warning for all of the people present that their inclusion must be kept secret. For the first time they would participate in a war and they wanted it to be perfect.

John had his pal in his forehead seeing this weird behavior of his children.

"Shouldn't have made them read those Chinese novels. I have failed in bringing them up the right way."

"Alright kids. Stop with the intimidation. We need to leave."

All of the 10 children were excited and seeing that they were given permission they just flew into the portal, fearing John might say no later. The Avengers just smiled seeing this. Like John, many of the people here had trained some of John's children in combat, especially the Wolf School.

Only the mutants couldn't make head or tail of what just happened. At first they were surprised that John had aliens as his children and from the looks of it these aliens were super powerful.

"You adopted them?" Logan couldn't help but ask John.

"No. They are my legitimate children. It is a little complicated. I will explain later. Let's go in."

The mutants couldn't understand John's words but didn't ask more. They all went in with John being the last.
