The next morning, all the goodbyes were said by the additional forces. Regina led her people back to Themyscira and then Storybrooke via the portals. The Batplane took off for Gotham City and Aquaman led his Atlanteans back to Atlantis.

Tony Stark was surprised to see the Doctor present him with an A4 manila envelope. "What's this?"

"A list of potential MASK agents," the Doctor replied, "based on the recommendations of the Peaceful Nations' Alliance, who started the original. Whilst I don't know for certain, as it isn't a fixed point in 'Time, I do get the feeling that they might be needed."

Tony looked over the names. "Good to know the designer is still Japanese and the I.T. guy British."

The Doctor snorted. "I know Bruce Sato and Alex Sector. Good people, even if the former seemed to have learned English by reading fortune cookies and the latter spent far more time in his youth with John Steed than was healthy."

"John Steed's a good man," Steve Rogers pointed out.

"He is. I like him, although good doesn't always mean nice when it comes to secret agents. What I meant is that Alex still speaks as if he was a 1930s public school boy. Apart from saying 'Com-and', rather than 'Co-mand', as if he was really Canadian or something…"

Once the Quinjet had departed, the Doctor took his own leave of the party. "Goodbye, everyone. See you all next crisis!"

"We do seem to meet up at such times," Kara agreed. "Isn't that your legend, Doctor? 'Whenever he turns up…'"

"…All hell breaks loose!" he finished.

Clark grinned. "I can almost see why humans are uneasy about us aliens. Zod, Faora, Missy, the Kree, the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Greys and so on hardly show us in a flattering light. They all seem to conquer or abduct for research purposes…"

"Or to set abductees weird logic puzzles and computer game challenges," the Doctor interjected. "Do you remember the Rangdo from Arg, and his shape-shifting humanoid dragons the Argonds? Mad, but strangely enjoyable. If you didn't get evaporated, anyway!"

By this time, everyone else had decided to stop listening for the sake of preserving their sanity. After this, he said his goodbyes and left in the Tardis.

Wednesday finished her mirror call to MACUSA's Auror Department. "They have finished with the interrogations of the surviving wizards. Pretty much all muggle-borns, unable to get decent jobs due to blood-purity concerns in the wizard world and no qualifications in the muggle.

"So along come the Mayhem brothers offering reasonably well-paid, but relatively straight-forward, work as enforcers. Finding an expert in runes who was unable to get work in Britain, due to his blood-status was a huge stroke of luck for them. They would have still been undetected, if not for one of their gangster friends shooting a man outside of the Cobalt Club last month."

"According to Steve," Diana commented, "there was plenty on the so-called 'hangmen' in the files the Doctor downloaded from the Python's computer. The muggle agencies are dealing with them as we speak."

"So we can be on our way now, sis, Zee," Pugsley finished.

"Just a moment, bro!" Wednesday suddenly pulled Ginny in for a passionate kiss and then did the same with Harry. "Au revoir, mes amours!" She then winked at them both, before port-keying away with her brother and Zee.

"Well," Ginny said stunned, "next time we see her, we might just take her up on her three-way offer!"

"Jack's never tried just snogging us senseless!" her husband agreed. He pulled her close to him. "Now, talking of snogging someone senseless…" He proceeded to do just that!

"Mum! Dad!" groaned Albus and James in unison.

"Does this mean I might get to call Auntie Wednesday Mummy Wednesday?" Lily wondered aloud. "Or would it be Mommy Wednesday?"

Millie and Pansy were too busy laughing to comment. Once they had finished doing that, they decided they would not be performing their duties as aunts unless they subjected their nephews to the sight of two more adults kissing. That was their excuse anyway, and they were sticking to it. Rose and Hugo began to snicker, then turned around to find Ron and Hermione lip-locked and tongue-tied as well…

It was three days later. Today was Easter Saturday. Whilst they had bought Easter Eggs for each other and the children, neither Harry nor Ginny were particularly religious. Millie had a shrine to the Six Goddesses of Themyscira in her and Pansy's apartment in the loft, but that was about as devout as the Potters got! Hermione was a practising Anglican, Dean was a Pentecostal and Padma and Parvati were both devout Hindi, but otherwise, Harry's circle was pretty much secularised. Whilst he got on well enough with Anthony Goldstein, he wouldn't claim to be particularly close to him. Seamus had occasionally mentioned going to Mass, but, as far as Harry knew, only went once in a blue moon.

The Temple of the Six Goddesses was packed for Athena and Reuben's engagement ceremony. Queen Hippolyta was leading it in her usual ritual attire, which was no attire at all. Richard and Fenella were looking a little uncomfortable. Whilst the Romany Fenella was happy dancing around a bonfire, her family were more Roman Catholic than Pagan. Writhing around the fire naked and in ecstasy was out of her comfort zone, and a long way outside of Richard's. Still, it was strangely moving and Hippolyta was a strikingly beautiful figure for all her millennia.

Hippolyta called Athena and Reuben to the front. Her granddaughter was flattered by the traditional short white dress, long sandals and laurel wreath and Reuben was handsome in tunic, cloak, sandals and laurel wreath. They joined hands in front of the altar and announced that they wanted to seek the Goddesses' blessings for their betrothal. Hippolyta sought the Goddesses' input, announced their approval and passed on their blessings. The newly-betrothed couple shared a long kiss and followed Hippolyta out of the temple.

"That was beautiful and so romantic!" Henry said. "You know, we never had such a ceremony when we made it official."

Ava Zimmer, his fiancée, turned to him. "Yes, it would be great. Regina…?"

"If you think I am gyrating completely naked like a bitch in heat before a mixed audience, young lady…"

"You're getting as grouchy as Batman!" Mary Margaret Blanchard told her.

"You wouldn't either, idiot!"

"I can't see the Blue Fairy doing it either," Killian Jones pointed out, hastily ending the conversation.

"What are your plans, Millie?" Diana asked.

"Spend a couple of nights on Potter Island, Diana, topping up our tans and being in the sea without a nutcase trying to use us as fish bait! After that, portkey back home. Pansy's going to be having IVF treatment, with Harry as the sperm donor. Hopefully, we'll be parents in a year or two."

"That would be wonderful, Millie!" The two friends and Sister-Amazons embraced tightly. "Clark and I are trying to conceive a sibling for Lara!" Although Lois was Lara's biological mother, Clark, Lois and Diana had agreed that all three of them would be equally parents to all their children, regardless of which womb bore them. "Your little one can be playmates with ours if all goes well."

"That would be great! Now, to persuade Harry, Ginny and Pansy to have a romantic, sky-clad midnight swim off Potter Island tonight."

"What a good idea! I must take Clark and Lois back to our island for the same.

"Not much point of living in paradise, if you can't go around naked."

"Well, at least this time there are no serpents in it!"

Reuben drew Athena close and the couple kissed, the celebrations of that evening almost done. He chuckled.

"What's so funny?" she asked.

"My maternal grandmother Miranda could read palms, tea-leaves and the like," Reuben told her. "She promised my Auntie Peter that she would find her heart's desire and she did. Well, before she passed on, she told me I would find my true paradise. Funny, that."

"Why?"

"A beautiful paradise island with a stunning native girl is my true paradise. Home is Themyscira!"
