"Is there a problem with this person? I can search for him with my Cerebro if you want?" 616-Professor X said as he approached John. The X-men too understood the gravity of the situation that they have been put to. Their whole world was in grave danger now and they needed all the resources available to them.

"No. Don't use your powers on him. Wayne and Murdock, don't use your powers on him if you find. Talk to him gently, show him the bright side of humanity. Show him what humanity is capable of. Show him how beautiful the world can be. Of course this is not required if he isn't present in this world, but if we do find him make sure that he is on our side. He will be our Hail Mary. The last weapon we can ever use. "

"Why do you speak in such a jumbled manner? Can't you tell us the whole picture of what this person is and how he is a weapon. If he is a weapon we will just kidnap him and lock him, assuming the fact that he is super powerful. If he is too much of a threat, we will just kill him. I assume for the good of the multiverse we can sacrifice that." Ms. Marvel came forward and said.

"No. Never even think of restraining him or do anything with him. It will just trigger the destruction of all. I don't want any mishap in this. If it gets out of hand, nobody will be able to save us. And we will have to leave the universe and billions... nigh....trillions of death will be on you. I will explain the case when the time is right. Under no circumstances will a person approach Owen Reese if he is ever found out. I don't want to trigger an avalanche that will destroy the multiverse. Is that clear?" John said as his voice slowly rose so that all could hear his voice loud and clear. OAA had given him free reign in the multiverse and even the Living Tribunal will have to listen to him.

He never liked bossing over someone but in this he would have to take the lead. He couldn't be a bet-protagonist. Especially in 616. Here people had less trust in him so the only thing he could do was establish a chain of command and authority to keep things in check.

"I know you all have many questions and some of you are curious about what is happening on the other side too. In due time I will reveal everything. Only thing I ask of you is patience. Let Bruce and Matt investigate. Only after the results can we take action. I assure you that I am very serious in saving the multiverse and every universe is important to us. Collapse of a single one will just lead to the collapse of everything and this will just be a nightmare, so every single universe is important. So please trust me here on this and don't make any kind of hasty decision." John warned them again.

The Avengers looked at John and at least from his face they got to know that whatever was scaring John must be really a story to rattle John in this regard. Even during Knull he looked cool and calm and never showed any kind of fear. But the prospect of losing the multiverse was one hell of a fear it seemed.

"Shadow, send some symbiotes to Earth and hide among many hosts on Earth. Actively search for any trace of Owen Reese, you have seen my memory. Upload the information to the Codex and let Klyntar send symbiotes to the multiverse. I want as many worlds as possible."

"Got it."

Shadow, that was the name John had given to the symbiote that had attached to him as he became the King in Black. Matt and Wayne wouldn't be the only ones searching for Owen. And symbiotes would be a good way to send more trusted people on this manhunt. He had also shared what kind of person Owen was and what kind of precautions they would need to take if they found him.

"I will be back in a few minutes. I need to consult some people who have massive knowledge of the Source Wall. When I come back, I will take some of you to see the Wall." John said as he vanished from his spot. He needed to consult with the Maltusians for knowledge of the Wall.

They were the most ancient beings who had knowledge of the Wall and they would be able to guide him more effectively. There were very few Maltusians left now and they were called by a very different now and respected very highly.

They were the Guardians of Oa.
