"Bye Ajak." John said as he vanished. He was back at his old home. His father's home. It was already evening when John reached New York so he was sure his father would be arriving soon. He needed to talk to his father before he left.

As John knocked on the door, Val opened it.

"Hey Val. It's been some time." John said with a smile.

"John!!" Val exclaimed. John hadn't been home for a long time. Val knew that now John was an Avenger and she couldn't be more proud of him. Even though John never admitted it, she could always feel the person in the golden helmet, the famous Dr. Fate was John.

Now most of the people of the world knew of Dr. Fate. Thanks to the Justice League series. But they were surprised that the Phoenix guy was also Dr. Fate. She couldn't be more proud. She hugged him instantly.

"Hi. How are you?" John asked as they went inside.

"I am fine. How are you John? How is life in the Ring? You haven't come home in such a long time." Val complained a bit. John felt guilt as he really had been paying attention to Earth and all the people here. He needed to be more grounded in reality.

Power had made him a little bit arrogant. Especially now that he had the omnitrix. He remembered the last words of the Ancient One. He felt ashamed that he had been drifting away recently.

He needed to remedy the situation.

"I am sorry Val. I promise I will visit often." John said.

"It's fine. I was just being a nagging old lady. You have your own world now in the Ring. You can't always come back home as you have work." Val said as she felt that he made John feel guilty.

"No. I don't actually work much nowadays. It's just that there had been too many things recently."

"I understand. Mr. Mime, can you bring some snacks for us? Thank you." Val said out loud. John was surprised to see Mr. Mime working at their home. He had sent Vulpix to his father before but he didn't know the whole Mr. Mime thing.

"When did father catch him?" John asked.

"Your dad didn't. I did. I watched the Pokemon series. So I personally went out to catch one for housework. I caught one pretty easily." Val said with a hint of pride as she was able to catch a Pokemon with almost no help.

"That is great. You should be a Pokemon trainer." John said.

"Oh please. I don't have that much energy to fight in tournaments." Val said. And as they were talking John's father finally entered the house opening the door. He had a Vulpix walking beside him.

"Son." Jameson said with a surprised tone.

"Dad. How are you?" John asked with a smile after hugging him.

"After all this time you remember your home?" Jameson asked.

"I am sorry Dad, I have been occupied with so many things." John said.

"Yeah yeah. You and your new Avengers." Jameson said. John just smiled at it but didn't deny it.

"How are you Dad?" John asked.

"I am fine. Thanks to Vulpix here I am happy with my life." Jameson said as he took the Vulpix in his hands. The Pokemon cooed after sitting on his lap. John went and pet him.

"Maybe I should get myself some Pokemons." John mumbled. He never caught any Pokemons because he always felt it wasn't required. All the Pokemon in the world were under his control so it was utterly useless for him. But now that he thought about it he needed some companions in his life. Audino was more like a caretaker of the house instead of being his Pokemon.

"You don't have any Pokemons?" Jameson asked as he heard John's mumbling.

"No. I never got the time. While they went to catch Pokemon I was busy keeping the world clean and making sure that Pokemon's weren't treated badly."John said.

"You should get one. Pokemons is a way of life now." Jameson said as he felt really grateful about the new world. He always felt hollow after he lost his wife, but after Vulpix came into his life he felt really happy and grateful for his life.

"Yeah I should. Maybe I will later." John said. They all started talking about their lives and how everything was going on. Before coming here John decided to just show his face to his father and leave but after meeting them he decided otherwise.

He stayed over at their place for the night. They had a good hearty meal together. Val as usual left early in the evening as she had her own family. So John and his father had a good time talking.

Jameson was just happy to see his son after a long time. Recently he had been thinking of moving to the Ring as John suggested. He could always control the Daily Bugle from there and it would be quite convenient too.
