"Don't doubt yourself Tony. I know the temptation of a power that would help your intelligence is huge but you don't need one. You are intelligent and smart enough to handle everything. What's more, you have two different versions of yourself. You can work on them and in no time you will have yourself a complete armor based on the body of a Celestial." John assured Tony.
Like Tony many others were kind of doubting themselves when it came to such large enemies. They had seen how Thanos was beaten up. Though he was in the enemy's territory it could already be seen how ruthless and powerful the opposing party was.
Thanos was sent to the Wall by OAA and TVA, it would be foolish to think that he was sent without being given some forms of life insurance or power ups and he still returned in tatters. This was a huge blow to the ego of many people here and Tony was one of them.
He didn't like the feeling. The feeling of powerlessness. He had come a long way and he still hated this. But this didn't mean he would give up and he would search for any means possible to save his family, his home and his universe.
And thus he was thinking of getting a hold of Sage Force.
"The Totality doesn't have an answer to your questions. It is poison which will just kill you slowly. Still Force is a big no no for us. Barry would lose his power if we let Still Force out. Only after that we can use the Sage Force. And we don't know if the Force will warp your mind. So the use of Sage Force is out of question. I am sorry Tony, I can't let you go down that path." John warned Tony again.
Though he was sure Tony understood the first time, he still wanted to make sure he understood how unstable Sage Force was.
Tony nodded his head as he continued looking through the window. He was in deep thought about what he needed to do and also about the new adjustments about the armor. Since Sage Force was a no-no for him so it was better to forget about it. He had seen what his other counterpart did with all that dangerous knowledge and he didn't want to follow that path.

After a long journey they had reached their home and Wayne went straight to SHIELD headquarters as they needed to get the Ring and a moon ready for proper drills among the many people that would be arriving soon. Reed was able to develop a device that would allow people to go to different universes if they had the proper coordinates, so for multiverse travel John or America wasn't required.
They would be arriving in a week so they needed to be ready.
"You want us to host drills and proper military type exercise for superheroes in other universes? How will you explain these new people to the Council?" Coulson couldn't help but ask. Fury had finally stepped down and allowed Coulson to take over SHIELD. It was a long time coming and Fury was too tired to handle such a large and ever growing organization.
SHIELD had stepped its foot in the Nova Empire for the benefit of humanity and he felt he was not ready for such huge transitions in his lifetime. He would serve the SHIELD but now only as an advisor. Coulson was given the keys to such a huge spy organization and he was now just sipping Mai-Tai at Hawai.
It was the same for 616 as Quake was given the post of Director by Fury. She was now leading SHIELD. And Coulson had already contacted her a few times. For proper coordination he even brought out their world's Quake who had been working under him for a long time now.
Of course Aang and others too had been working with him. Katara was now even his Secretary as Maria Hill was sent to Xandar to handle SHIELD from there. Lex had given them all the access and power required. And SHIELD was thankful for that.
SHIELD had grown now as a huge giant. With advisors from Naruto World too. Shikamaru, Kankuro were now high level officials and advisors like Fury and they would advise Coulson on various occasions. Now there were more shinobis in the whole SHIELD facility than humans. After it extended to Nova, Maria was even thinking of incorporating aliens too.
But for now the main headache of Coulson was how to convince the Council to give them a green signal for drills. The visitors of the multiverse hadn't been very good for their Earth and the last time one of them came, the Himalayas was decimated.
