Almost all had tears in their eyes when she spoke up. They didn't know why she had to leave but had to understand that there was no other way for her.

"Goodbye my friends." The Ancient One said and her body started turning to dust. Same as Odin. The dust got blown away in the air, into the sky. They all watched till their eyes could see the dust.

There was momentary silence in the courtyard. After a minute or so Mordo finally said.

"Strange will now be the Sorcerer Supreme. Like it or not, this was the wish of the Ancient One. And none of you can even come close to even touching his clothes, let alone defeating him. We have more things to worry about than your personal prejudice of someone who doesn't even belong to the same universe. I am evil in other universe but that doesn't make me take on that same path like others. And John here is also a Sorcerer Supreme. So if you can accept him as such, then Strange's new title could also be accepted."

Strange meanwhile also stepped forward and said

"All the Sanctums will observe a day of mourning. Let this day be a reminder to all that nothing is eternal. Not even the great gods. Now, disperse."

All were silent when he said that and none protested. Even though Strange didn't have a major voice among the Sanctums, Mordo had influence. John was surprised that Mordo knew that he was evil in other universes. It was probably due to Strange as he might have peered into the multiverse. John too left after this as he too needed an alone time for mourning.

As he came back home, he was surprised to see Emma waiting for him. This was a pleasant surprise but a welcome one. He hugged her as today had been a hard day for him. Emma could feel that John was sad so she too hugged him.

That day John didn't go to work and took a day off. He told her the reason for his sadness. She also knew of the Ancient One, so she understood that John, who was a Sorcerer himself, must have felt like a close friend that passed away.

4 days soon went by. By this time Natasha had returned after officially being recorded as the Blue Lantern. Like The Green Lantern, it would take time to produce new rings so for now she was free but she needed to take care of herself as she was the host of Adara.

On the 5th day all showed up at the Hall of Justice, including the newly made Teen Titans. And that included Spiderman too.

Peter Parker.

John approached the young Peter whose face looked in awe as he saw all the heroes around. The witchers, Tony Stark, Victor Stone and other such famous personalities.

Now all of the children of Earth worshipped the superheroes, so growing up in the city where superheros once fought had a great influence on him.

"Hello Peter." John said.

"Uh.. Hello Mr. Jameson. You are an Avenger too?" Peter asked as he did know John but since he was never shown in the public that he was an Avenger, so nobody knew of it.

"I have always been an Avenger. People just don't know it. Come take your seat. Wayne will be coming soon." John said.

"Batman is also coming? That is so awesome. Damian said that we will go for a journey into space. Is it true?"

John just smiled at it and said "You will know soon." Many were talking and laughing among them. Today even Emma joined the group. Peter was surprised to see even Emma Watson joining the meeting as she was never shown in TV or movies.

Then Peter noticed the ring on her finger and realized that she was a Green Lantern. So many people in the group overwhelmed him a bit. As they were all having a good time.

Bruce finally stepped in. He looked a little bit more tall than the original and had a more well toned body shape. He looked perfectly fine now as opposed to the torture he had to face last time.

All took their seats. The first words that Wayne spoke was

"Thank you John. This has been a great boost for me."

"It's my pleasure Bruce. How do you feel now?"

"Never been better. Though the world looks different now in my eyes, it's all good to me."

"That's perfect."

"As you all know we all are to go to Asgard to attend the coronation of their new King. I hope you all have brought appropriate gifts for the new King." Tony said. All nodded their heads except for Peter.

He didn't know why they joined and the Teen Titans wanted to do a prank on him. He got shy as nobody informed him before, so he raised his hand to ask.
