Chapter 579: 579. X-men

Before anybody could even realise what had happened the mutants and John had disappeared from the room. The people present in the room weren't surprised by that. They had seen John doing that before when he came last time.

"He really does vanish whenever he wishes to. Doesn't he?" 616-Tony couldn't help but ask Banner.

"Oh. You have no idea!!"

When the mutants and John appeared again, they were at an island. The mutants were not accustomed to sudden change of scenery. They have gone through portals but they have never been teleported without their consent. Some expected to throw up after this change but surprisingly none did.

"Do tell us next time when you want to teleport us."

John paid no attention to the words as he started walking towards a huge structure that looked more or less like a palace. This is Krakoa (or Genosha).

The home of mutants. An exclusive country just for mutants. Last time there were Sentinels guarding this island. But not this time. The humans of Earth have totally stopped giving problems to the mutants. And every government was treating them as normal as possible.

The governments didn't give them any privileges nor did they discriminate. They could not change the perspective of all the people but the least they could do was treat them as normal human beings and consider Krakoa as a country with all the rights and even a seat at the United Nations.

All of this was due to the threat of John. What he said and did last time had infused fear upon them, and nobody dared to cross the lines of their country. There was peace. And all of the mutants lived together now.

John and others were already at the gate when Charles said.

"This island is alive?"

"Yes, remnants of the old gods during the break of the 2nd multiverse."

There were question marks over the heads of the mutant kind. Most of the answers that John gave were always so complicated that they didn't even know what his words meant. John could see their confusion, so he said

"You will be up to date with the things around us and the multiverse that we are living in."

The gate opened by itself and all walked in. After going upstairs they reached a round table Hall where Charles and Magneto were sitting while the group of John's Avengers were sitting on either side talking about Knull.

"We have been expecting you."

There were mutants on both sides and all of them looked at each other. Especially Charles and Magneto on both sides.

"You can walk?"

616-Charles couldn't help but sigh when he saw his counterpart looked totally different than what he was. He could already feel that Charles was more powerful than him. Probably due to the helmet that he was wearing.

Even 616-Erik could feel that his counterpart looked younger and more powerful.

"So these are the people who came from another universe to yours. They are lucky. Maybe we should have taken the chance to go to your universe and live." 616-Erik laughed when he said that. He really envied his counterparts.

He had a general idea now of their world, thanks to John's Avengers with whom he had been talking. The mutants of Krakoa already knew of what was going on as they have been narrated of the story, and the more they knew, the more they felt like they had lost a perfect chance for resettlement.

"I heard that the X-men aren't ready to help in this war?"

John went straight to the topic. He didn't want to go to the topic in a roundabout manner. He actually didn't like it when he heard that the X-men declined the request of Eddie. He specifically asked him to say his name.

There was complete silence when John opened his mouth.

"John, they had agreed to help us but they just didn't want to admit it to Eddie and the other Avengers."

Geralt spoke up and replied to the question of John.

"Why the secrecy?" John was confused now. He came because he heard that X-men asked for John and refused to help.

"We refused because of our rivalry between us and them. We didn't want to give them the satisfaction of us responding to them. We know what is at stake here, and we can see the bigger picture. But I refuse to help them in a straightforward manner." Erik said. He was the one who said 'no' to Eddie. When Eddie spoke of John's name, he already knew that the mutants would have to help.

But he wanted the mutants to keep the cards from showing to the world. He didn't trust the Avengers yet and he thought that they still had political connections.

"So you still don't trust them. Well, I guess that was expected. Do you have any plans?"
