When all of the members appeared again they saw that they were standing on the rooftop of a building. They were in the city of New York and it was apparent from the tall skyscrapers around and their distinct structures.
"New York?"
"Yes. The Avengers tower of this universe. GAIA, call all of the people on our team to come here." Victor answered the mutants who were curious about the new world. In just a matter of days they had gone from living in their homes to travelling to two universes.
This was a huge leap for most. Even Charles himself was in a little daze with what was going on.
"Is there no Ring here like your world?" Rogue asked as she was searching for a high level of technology like their world had around and even the Pokemons flying, but she saw none.
"Our world is unique. There are weird versions of multiverse out there and none of them will be like ours." John said and he had a hint of pride when he said that. Many of the universes were the same but their universe had changed because the Avengers had all added so many elements and he himself was the architect in making their universe better in every way possible.
Their Earth had taken massive leaps in better living.
As they were discussing that, just like last time the door to the staircase was opened and a person with an iconic beard stepped out . But unlike last time, he was sober now and looked perfectly fine.
This was Tony Stark. Or rather 616-Tony.
"Is he Tony?" Erik whispered. John nodded his head.
"I have been waiting for you all assholes. What took you so long?"
"Eh..."
John was a little surprised by Tony's words. His attitude seemed too good to be true. After what they had done to their universe, he was sure that the Avengers hated them. Like him, even others of the Avengers members were surprised to see such weird words from Tony. And before they could point it out, Banner of their world had come out wearing a labcoat.

"Banner? What is going on?"
"You are here early. Come in. We can talk about the matters later." Banner said. All the Avengers were confused but they didn't ask more. The mutants were just curious about this version of Tony Stark. They had seen their version and both of them looked the same, walked the same and from the voice they could infer that they talked the same too.
All the people went to the huge hall of the Avengers tower. 616-Tony was looking at them in curious eyes. This time there were aliens and mutants too. The last time they came, the Avengers didn't have mutants and from what he remembered their universe didn't have mutants.
At least that's what John said!!
"Banner, what is going on?"
"We have ended up in a truce with them till the problem of Knull ends. Eddie has explained the fearfulness of him and the Avengers have accepted our help."
"So after Knull ends we will be enemies again?"
"That's right. Eternal enemies." 616-Tony said while looking at them in an all serious face. But everybody who knew Tony long enough could figure out that he wasn't serious about being enemies later. His attitude showed that he has changed his views of them.
"Why this change of heart from your time?" John couldn't help but ask.
"Wayne convinced us. He is one hell of a guy. Your universe is lucky to have him." 616-Tony said with a hint of jealousy. It seemed like just like their universe, Wayne was able to charm his way inside the 'enemy lines' when required. John expected this to happen, but didn't expect he would be able to do it this fast.
Batman was always unique!!
"Where is he?"
"He is in space arranging the first line of defense. They will be back soon."
John closed his eyes for a second to see where Wayne was. He saw Wayne and Clark in space arranging the broken spaceship in a specific way around the orbit. They had a light suit around them to let them breathe and do their work. Both of them didn't need any help as their power was enough to let them fly in space without any extra help.
"Spaceships from the Kree war to be used as bombs?"
616 - Tony nodded his head. He didn't even ask why John suddenly mentioned it. They didn't even speak of it to him, but by now he has gotten used to John's omniscience.
"Where are others?"
"Krakoa. Convincing the mutants. Eddie was not able to convince them as they didn't believe him so the others had to go and tell them about the threat and your involvement."
"Hmm I think we will have to pay a visit to your counterparts."
The X-men and Brotherhood nodded their heads and they were excited to see the other version of themselves.
