Chapter 390: Handling the aftermath

Meanwhile John and the other Avengers and Eternals appeared in the Hall. John just used teleportation and sent them all here. All took their seats.

"I have a feeling that Arishem came just to test us." Wayne spoke up for the first time.

"I feel that too." Wanda said.

"There is something going on. Thanos being taken away and now this." Banner said as he was back in normal mode after using Ralts psychic power on him.

"True. But we don't know what." Tony said.

"Is there a conspiracy? What do you think, John?" Steve asked.

"I don't know. At first I thought it was because of the Phoenix Force. But now I am not sure. But whatever it is. We will face it together." John said.

"We will." Strange said.

"Now how shall we deal with the aftermath? Many satellites caught videos and images of us fighting Arishem. What are you going to explain?" Victor asked as he was now checking the internet.

"We will see how the people will react and then tell some of the truth. No need to say everything." Tony said.

"That is better." John said. After that everybody left. The Eternals too left for their home. Gilgamesh, Makkari, Druig and Thena decided to be on the Ring and help the Avengers in future problems.

Sersi and Ajak decided to return back to Earth as they loved Earth more. Kingo went back too as he needed to be back in Bollywood.

The internet just exploded. They had no idea who the enemy was but they did see a huge Black colored beautiful Phoenix.

The people who saw it had no idea who it was but they did recognize that Clark Kent, aka Superman, had joined the Avengers. But his entry was not even the focal point but the appearance of the red giant.

Umbrella Corporation and the Avengers website received an immense number of traffic for this incident and this time people wanted an answer. Normally the governments would reply to these kinds of attacks with proper explanations.

But for the first time the governments were totally silent on these. It was because they themselves didn't know. Even the Teen Titans headquarters In New York was surrounded by people.

And all this took place in a matter of hours. Umbrella finally had to come and say that Tony Stark himself would come out for a press conference. Umbrella knew that they would have to answer as Umbrella was basically under Avengers and Tony Stark being the face of it. John had almost disappeared from the public so Tony who still attended the parties and socialised, was being asked for more.

So the next day, Tony came out for a press conference in front of the public to answer the questions. Tony came to the podium in front of the reporters. The conference was held in the Ring so many reporters had come from Earth.

"Sir, Can you give us any headstart about what the Avengers faced yesterday?"

"About that. Well think of him as a very powerful being. And you do remember that headless statue on the Indian Ocean. They both belonged to the same species. Since we stopped the emergence of his kind, that powerful being came for inspection. That is where we stopped them." Tony said. It was based on a half lie and half truth.

"Sir, you just mentioned that the being belonged to a species. Are there more of them? If yes, how many? Is it a whole planet of these enormous powerful beings?" another reporter asked.

"Yes, there are others but not as many as you think. There are very few of them." Tony replied.

"Will they come back again with more of them? The Black Phoenix just severed it's hand."

"No. Hypothetically they shouldn't. They have their own problems to deal with. And only that guy had shown up." Tony replied.

"Sir can you speak about the identity of the huge black Phoenix. Is he the same Phoenix who fought in the war on Mars." a reporter asked.

"Many of the members of the Avengers have their own private life. Not all have the audacity to come in public and speak of their secret identities like me." Tony said in his typical narcissistic fashion with a cheeky smile. All the reporters laughed at Tony's comment.

"Sir what more can you say about the species that had emerged on the Indian Ocean. Is it dead?" another reporter asked.

"Why don't you go and see if a headless statue can move or not." Tony replied to that stupid question.

"Sir, what about Clark Kent? He has shown up recently. Do we have a proper contingency if he goes rogue." a reporter asked. This question made the whole hall silent. Tony looked at the reporter for a second before replying.

"Clark is our friend. The movies aren't always real stories. The movies are just a way to portray a character. Batman is also a Kryptonian. Did it change the perspective of how people viewed him? No. So we treat Clark the same way we treat the other members of the Avengers. As equals."
