"Invasion? Tell me about it.." John now looked at Miss Chavez. He was really curious to know. In comics her world was destroyed by black holes and other factors. So he was curious what had happened, that an invasion had occurred.
"Hi.. I am America Chavez... I am from..." Chavez said.
"Utopian Parallel.. Yeah I know. Who invaded your world? Entropy?"
"Entropy? Isn't that a scientific term? How can science invade a world? And how do you know of me? Have we met before?" Chavez asked as she was confused why John mentioned a scientific term as a being. The Utopian Parallel wasn't exactly attached to the multiverse so a parallel of their Earth wasn't present in the multiverse.
"No..Nothing.. You can go on. I know you because of other reasons. Being a magician gives me an edge over knowledge and identities." John asked as his first guess went down the drain. Chavez looked at John for a second to see if he was lying but couldn't make out from his facial expressions if he was telling the truth. She was not convinced by John and felt he was a con man. Though her identity being known to the other guy was not what he expected.
"There was an army.. An army of bugs from a dimension known as the Negative Zone.." Chavez continued.
"...Annihilus?" John stopped Chavez again in her words and spoke the name of the main enemy.
"You.. You.. Do you know of him?" Chavez's eyes were now wide. She didn't expect that this 'con man' would actually know of the other being. Her main enemy and person against whom she wanted revenge.
"Yeah we crossed paths before. Ummm not exactly crossing paths, but I have met one of his subordinates before. Almost destroyed another Earth." John said casually. But hearing these words the trio shuddered.
This person here claimed that he had stopped the destruction of the world in such a casual manner.. What was he? A God? Pfff.. Right!!!
"So Annihilus destroyed your world?" John asked.
"Yes." Chavez said as she clenched her fist. He could already guess that she was the last person alive. Just like the story in the comics. No matter what, some future would happen, no matter what. Murphy's law in full force.
"Hmm so you need our help in stopping him?" John asked.
The three nodded their heads.
"We would have faced Annihilus even if you didn't ask. So yes, consider our team as part of the resistance or whatever army you are trying to gather." John said. Such a statement put a smile and relief on the faces of the three.
Though Chavez was still skeptical about the powers of John and thought he was boasting, no matter what he at least knew magic and could travel across dimensions. This alone was enough to be in the ranks of the army.
"What is the story of you two by the way?" John now asked Charles and Erik.
"I thought you knew of our story since you know us." Charles said with a smile.
"I know many stories and many versions of you. But I don't know which story is yours?" John said as he really did know many stories of the mutants.
"Umm. How to say this.. We are the only superheros or as we call it, the mutants present in our universe. Me and Erik have been best friends for a long time but our paths diverged. Only for this threat did we join hands together." Erik said.
John shook his head hearing this.
"I already know this. In almost all parallel Earth you two have the same story. Erik's history with Auschwitz and Charles being a rich guy. Tell me more." John said. Such words surprised them. They thought their story was unique and unparalleled. But now it seemed all their assumptions were false. Their whole life was just a mirror to countless others.
This revelation can be daunting to many people. Who would like it if somebody knew that their lives were just cloned lives. Erik hesitated for a second before saying
"We mutants are being hunted by Sentinels."
"Still not enough. In all worlds Sentinels hunt the mutants. Though they have never been able to come out victorious." John said.
"How much do you know? And why do I feel like we are being interrogated?" Erik asked, not a little annoyed.
"Because some versions of both of you are assholes and think whatever you are doing is part of the greater good. So I need to confirm your story before I can trust you." John said in a strict tone. Peter, Andrew and Chavez were all now looking at their conversations from the side.
It seemed interesting to them.
Charles and Erik looked lost when John said that. They didn't know how to react to this.
"We might lose in the war against the Sentinels." Erik finally said after gritting his teeth.
