《Multiverse of Marvel》157. Consequences

Bucky was again thrown away but this time he was bleeding profusely from his shoulder and Tony again charged his arc reactor to shoot at Bucky. Steve was stunned by this sudden action and for a moment couldn't hold onto Tony.
As Tony charged the arc reactor he suddenly saw his armor being dismantled. In a moment's notice all his armor fell off. Tony fell down while Steve seeing Tony had stopped ran to Bucky.
It was John who dismantled his armor as he needed to fight the stop. John walked to Bucky, he was unconscious now due to pain. John hand's caught blue fire as he touched the wound of Bucky. His frowned unconscious face finally relaxed a bit.
Then John put his hands on his pocket and brought out the philosopher's stone. After touching the stone with his left he touched the right shoulder. And miraculously a new arm started to grow out of the shoulder. First came the bones, then the muscle, the veins and lastly the skin. All this happened within seconds and soon there was a bran new arm for Bucky which looked exactly like the previous.
Banner and other were dumbfounded by this but then remembered the power of the philosopher's stone. Bucky gained consciousness and he was the most surprised as he saw that his lost arm had grown back.
"Jarvis. Call Mark 42. It isn't over yet. Call all the suits out." Tony said.
"It's enough. Do you think 42 will accompany you in this path of revenge. Do you think I will allow you to continue the fight? Didn't you fight enough?" John said and it was the first time he had a very serious face. 42 would never come to help Tony as anything made by the cube was at the end under the control of John. John gave Tony the cube so that he could profit off him.

"He killed my parents John. I can't forgive him for this." Tony said.
"Do you think he had control over it? Or did you think Hydra would let your parents go after they decided to murder your father. Are you so naive that you want you let vengeance take your control? What about the thousands of families that your weapons killed? What do you say about that? Huh?" John said with a more greater tone.
"I had no control over the weapons. He did it with his own hands." Tony retorted.
"Hands. You made weapons Tony. Are you so naive to think that it would never fall in wrong hands? You wanted to make profit, you wanted to build an empire greater than your father to satisfy your ego and show the world that you are better than him. It didn't occur to you that what you did was wrong before Yinsen almost sacrificed his life."
"But I am a changed man now." Tony again said.
"Than do you think Bucky will kill everyone again? At least he suffers from nightmares from all the innocents he had killed. You don't even know the faces of the people that your weapons killed." John said.
Tony went silent when John said that. Steve didn't utter a single word in that debate as he was too concerned about Bucky. He was relieved to see that Bucky was all and well. Even though he lost his metal arm but that was easily replaceable by technology.
Steve finally lifted Bucky to his feet. Even though John had healed all his injuries by the philosopher's stone, both were exhausted.
"I can't forgive him John, I just can't." Tony was adamant.
"I am not asking you to forgive him. But I am asking you to be united when the time demands. Much bigger and dangerous wars are coming Tony. The wars which we all might not even survive, enemies which will make us desperate, weapons that you couldn't even imagine. I need us to be together. Avengers cannot fall." John said with more grave tone.

Tony, Steve and others didn't speak a word against it. Even if they don't know what war is John speaking about but seeing the serious face of John it meant the upcoming times wouldn't be peaceful like now.
"Alright let's go inside, we need to talk." John said.
Everybody went inside. Tony went ahead as he couldn't stand the look of Bucky. He stopped because he knew no matter what he couldn't kill Bucky and even if he did that wouldn't be justice. Hydra was already dead. He just felt more angry thinking he didn't give them a more gruesome death. And Tony also knew with all the members of the team present it wouldn't be good as nobody would allow the fight to continue.
They all sat in a big table. This was officially the first meeting of the Avengers after it was formed. Even though it started with violence, nonetheless everyone was present except for the green lanterns. Even though Emma never joined the Avengers she was already considered one.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
