Huge price

"Oye are you being serious? Do you really have the fire power to confront Ronan. He has an whole army." Rocket still asked.

"Of course. You will soon know if I am a pretender or not since you have been calling me a liar all this time." John said.

As they were talking John received a call. It was Nova Prime. She called because Lex sent her the information that John would help her with Ronan.

"Hello Mr. Jameson. Mr. Luthor said that you can help me the Ronan problem. Is that true?"

"Yes of course. But on two conditions." John said.

"What conditions Mr. Jameson." She asked as she was now excited. She had seen what only two person could do to Nova Corps. If she could get help from him than it would be much easier to deal with Ronan. She just hoped that John had enough command and authority in his home planet to call an army to deal with Ronan.

"First condition is that when I deal with Ronan, the Dark Aster would belong to me. And second condition is that I am a movie maker in my home planet. I would like my movies and other motion pictures to be propagated here." John said.

"Huh. Dark Aster? The spaceship of Ronan? Sure. If you can help us kill him then we will surely give that to you. And about your movies? Are you sure that it's your second condition?" the Nova Prime asked.

"Yes that's my condition." John insisted.

"OK we accept your deal. I hope you can summon help from your planet to deal with him." the Nova Prime said as she felt weird with the second condition but didn't pay much heed as she thought it might be the hobby of John.

"Who said about summoning an army? We few people will be enough to deal with him. Don't worry Nova Prime, you will soon get the good news." John said as he cut off the connection.

"Victor take Barry tomorrow to Kyln prison with FOA. Stop him from doing major destruction in the prison. Let Peter and Gamora escape with Drax. Antagonize Ronan to come here to Xandar. This will be a good way to make yourself known. Since Rocket here still doesn't believe us, he too will get to see the extent of our powers."

"OK. Let Barry come."

Rocket who listened to all this was surprised by how without worry John and Victor talked about Ronan. They talked as if everything was bread and butter but still couldn't think how a person would be able to deal with Ronan who had a whole army.

Rocket stayed over John's place as he had invited him over. The next day John woke up as usual and recalled the system to extract Barry Allen.

[Ding

Cost of extraction of Barry Allen/Flash and Speed Force- 600 million]

"What the hell? Even Superman is less than 400 million. Why is Barry so costly?" John almost shouted.

[Ding

Barry Allen could change timeline as he pleases. A character is not always judged by it's powers. Sometimes the price value isn't about the power but it's impact on the world. And Speed Force is one of the greatest forces of DC universe.]

"That means if I extract Christopher Reeves's Superman I would have to pay more?"

[Ding

Yes.

Do you want to extract Barry Allen?]

"Fine fine.. Extract Barry." John said. He felt pain as he just lost half a billion fan values for a single character.

"My movies better be famous here, otherwise I will squeeze the Nova Empire dry." John grumbled to himself. John summoned him at a nearby place. Since John had already registered him with the Empire he didn't care. In fact yesterday he asked for proper details from all his friends of Earth to send over. He wanted to register all of them, even his own father.

While having breakfast there was a knock on the door. Lex went to open the door and there was Barry Allen standing.

"Hello. I was guided to this place. Is it the right place?"

"Yes. We were waiting for you. Food is on the table. Made a lot for you." Lex replied as he lead him inside.

"Wow a raccoon which could stand and eat normally. That's awesome." Barry said in an excited tone.

"Who are you calling a raccoon kid? Do you believe I will blast you into space now?" Rocket got irritated by his remark.

"Omg it can talk to. Didn't expect an alien planet to be so awesome. Hey Victor, nice to see you again man. Thanks John for bringing me here." Barry said paying no heed to the threat of Rocket. Barry sat on the table to eat as he was hungry.

"Nice to see you again. We have a mission later in space so eat up." Victor said.

"Mission in space? That's so cool. Can't wait for it." Barry said as he was gorging on his food.

"You are going to send this to space to stop Ronan? They will die." Rocket said with more skepticism.

"They will be fine. You have no idea how powerful they are." John said as finished eating.

There will be double uploads tomorrow if there are more than 350 power stone donations by the end of the day.

Thank you.
