Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 234: New leader (2)

"We are not here to fight." John said.

"Then what are we here for?" Steve asked as he was confused.

"Batman knows why we are here." John said.

"The old man still hasn't given up the obsession?" Wayne asked.

"Nope. He negotiated with me about that. This is the only way." John said.

"Guys what do you mean by that?" Steve asked as he was more confused now.

"He means that Raas wants to choose an heir. And you Steve is the perfect candidate for leading the League." Wayne said to Steve.

"You mean the story of him wanting Oliver to replace him is real. He still hasn't stopped searching?" Steve asked as he had seen the Green Arrow series as in the last season Raas wanted Oliver to be the leader of the League.

"Yes. He wanted me to be the leader but I refused. So now we are here." Wayne said as he saw many members fully covered in black coming out from the main gate in an ordered manner.

They took their positions in line and gave space to the middle. After a minute Raas finally emerged with a huge coat walking. All the members of the league bowed down when he came out.

"Boy is he the one that you have chosen?" Raas asked as he came up to the trio.

"Yes. He is Steve Rogers." John said.

"Wait, I haven't even decided to take such a huge responsibility. I will never be the leader of such an evil organisation." Steve replied.

"The League will whatever you picture it to be. If you want the League only to work for the good, then it shall be." John said. "Provided you can kill Raas and take the mantle of leader."

"But why am I being chosen? I am pretty sure that there are other more capable members." Steve asked.

"I have been watching you, Steve Rogers, for a long time. Your will and commitment moved me. I am becoming old and both Wayne and Queen rejected me. I just want to give away my position and rest in peace." Raas said.

"There will be a duel in a week. I will wait for you here. If you can defeat and kill me, the league shall be yours. If you don't you will die." Raas said as turned back and went away. The members too followed the leader. Raas still needed to show his arrogance and pride of being the leader of the League even though he was the summon of John.

"What a weird man. No wonder you never took the position of the leader. Is there no other way?" Steve asked.

"The League has infiltrated in many places just like SHIELD and we need a proper person as it's head. Raas came to me to search for a worthy one so I gave him your name. I am sorry but I could only think of you. Only you have the best moral compass among us." John said.

"I will have to think about it before I make a decision." Steve said.

"Sure. Let's go back." John said as all the three vanished again and were back at the headquarters. John said goodbye to them and went back home. It had been a long day so he wanted to have a rest.

7 days passed by very fast after that, as the SHIELD was getting ready for the purge. The ratifying of Sokovia Accords was pushed back a few days as the main country who proposed the Accords would apparently appoint a new King. This made every member of the UN panel surprised and some even suspected that Avengers had their hands behind the change of the King.

But it wouldn't matter as the Accords were ready and it would proceed even if Wakanda backs away later. John on the other hand was back at Wakanda as this was the day when the new king would be crowned.

Everybody gathered near the waterfall for the ceremonial fight. Even the Jabari tribe came as they were informed about the past of the King. In these 7 days King T'Chaka was in trial and he was sentenced with lifetime imprisonment. This was the law of the country and the fear of Avengers made them sure that the trial was fair.

Soon the fight between T'Challa and Erik started as T'Challa was stripped from the power of black panther. And the fight followed almost like the actual story. The only difference was that T'Challa didn't fall down from the cliff and was defeated fairly.

John, who levitated above, saw all of this but didn't have any expression. He didn't care who sat on the throne as long as Wakanda didn't poke in their business.

John levitated down to greet Erik one last time as he would leave.

"King Erik, how does it feel to be the king of Wakanda? I hope this revenge was fulfilling." John asked. Erik hesitated for a second but finally replied.

"I won't be the king of Wakanda." Erik said.
