Neal lay there for a moment on what felt like something comfortable. He could hear someone or something making a crunching sound very close to where he was. He opened his eyes a little and tilted his head towards the sound, smiling as he saw Parker eating some cereal. "Hi," he said quietly. He blinked a bit more, remembering why he was in a small bit of pain. He had seen Peter throw himself from the car, probably hurting his shoulder a bit but that would be dealt with later. Just before the car hit the wall, Neal threw himself from the car and hit his head hard on the pavement. He wasn't all that surprised to see that Parker was there since Eliot had been following him for a while.

"Hey," Parker replied. "Are your ears ringing?"

"What?" Neal asked.

"Are Your Ears Ringing?!" Parker asked again, drawing the attention of the other people in the room. Nate and Peter went back to what they were looking over as Hardison and Eliot went over to where Parker and Neal were.

"No," Neal replied as he looked at Parker oddly. "What are you eating?"

"Lucky charms," Parker replied. "Want some?"

Neal raised an eyebrow at Parker but nodded hello to Hardison and Eliot. "Where's Kate?" He asked as he looked around the room. He figured out that it was a hotel room and that he was on the couch. The TV itself was showing different web sites that Hardison was probably surfing on, along with some sports shows on mute.

"Before or after your little attempt at a swan dive?" Eliot asked as he sat down in a chair close to the couch. "That was idiotic, by the way."

"Best way to get away is to have everyone think you're dead," Neal replied as he fully sat up and cracked his neck. "And I didn't want to do it, but Gray believed it right? At least, I hope he did."

"From what we heard on bugging the cell phone, his voice said that he did," Hardison replied. "From what I heard, the explosion was big. Why the wall though?"

"Because it would hurt the least amount of people," Neal replied with a sigh. "You didn't answer my question," he pointed out to Eliot.

"She's laying down in one of the rooms upstairs," Eliot said as he pointed up. "She made it look like she went underground again and left no trace where she was staying before. Parker made sure that she got here alright."

"Thank you," Neal said with a smile to Parker.

"No problem," Parker replied with a grin as she put a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal into Neal's hands with the right amount of milk. "You should eat. At least, that's what Sophie said for you to do as soon as you woke up. So eat."

Neal blinked and looked down at the bowl, swirling around the cereal before he set it aside. He looked over at Peter and Nate talking at the business sized table and looked to Eliot. "What's that about?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Eliot replied.

"You should eat though," Parker said again to Neal. "Really, cereal is the best thing after you decide to make it look like you took your life and that you took out your father with you."

Neal took back the cereal and grinned at Parker. "Fine," he said and sighed, eating a bit. "What are you doing with all the websites?" He asked of Hardison.

"Keeping an eye on the bank accounts, along with setting up a fake account for Elizabeth to set up whatever money is going to be coming from the FBI due to Peter's death," Hardison replied. "Along with other things that I just want to keep an eye on."

"That you're not about to tell me," Neal said with a grin as he ate a bit of the cereal. "This is oddly good."

"It's because you're eating pure sugar," Eliot replied. "We could get you something to eat."

"This is real food!" Parker protested.

"Which makes you bounce around for a good two to three hours after you eat it," Eliot responded.

Hardison rolled his eyes as Neal laughed at that. "It's fine if she wants to eat it," Hardison replied. "And if Neal wants to eat it."

"You're always going to come down on her side," Eliot said as he looked away.

"Of course I am," Hardison said as they all looked up as they heard a noise.

Neal had put down the bowl of cereal and was up the stairs in a flash to hug Kate. He kept her close in the hug, laying his head on her shoulder. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

"For what?" Kate asked with a chuckle. "I knew you were going to be fine."

"How?" Neal asked as he lifted his head up to look at her.

"Because you know that I would raise you from the dead and yell at you about the fact that you did the worst possible thing you could do, Neal Caffrey," Kate responded.

"Oh," Neal said as he felt inside his pockets for the box. He sighed and looked downstairs. "Parker! Give it back."

Parker sighed as she stood up, moving to the stairs and tossing up the box to him. "It's your fault for keeping it in such an obvious place."

"Or you could have just left it," Neal replied and smiled at Kate. "Marry me?" He asked of her as he opened the box to reveal a beautiful round diamond and her birthstones on the side of the diamond.

"Yes," Kate whispered as Neal put the ring on her finger and kissed him.

Peter and Nate looked up from the table as they heard the others cheer for Neal and Kate. Peter smiled at seeing that and looked over to Nate. With seeing the small bit of pain on Nate's face, Peter drew him back in to what they were talking about. "Seattle's going to be the best city," he said.

Nate looked back to Peter and nodded a yes. "You could also do the opposite and just go into retirement."

"And torture El? She'd kill me," Peter quipped. "Plus, I don't think Neal can retire until he's too old to do the job. So, this is the best for everyone."

"Right," Nate said and looked over the list. "This Mozzie – he's a hacker?"

"Just a step below Hardison," Peter replied. "We have everyone and Neal can double as the grifter as well."

"You don't have a hitter," Nate pointed out.

"El," Peter replied.

Nate raised an eyebrow at that. "What?"

"My wife can throw a very good punch," Peter said with a shrug. "It's very sexy."

"Alright," Nate said. "Then you have everybody. When is Elizabeth getting here?"

As if on cue, Sophie and Elizabeth walked into the suite. The two women went over to the table, with Elizabeth giving Peter a kiss before she sat down next to him. "So, are we all set?" Elizabeth asked.

"They've probably been ready ever since I left a while ago," Sophie said as she looked over the paperwork. "The funeral is going to be in a week. Closed casket with some ashes that they think are bits of the body. They were very apologetic about that fact."

"They were because it was Peter," Elizabeth replied. "Considering all his years at the FBI, I'm surprised I didn't see anybody crying."

"They're waiting for the funeral," Peter replied as the kids came over to the table, followed by Neal and Kate. "These two have news," he said as he motioned to Neal and Kate.

"She said yes?" Elizabeth asked as Kate started to laugh.

"Yes," Neal said with a chuckle as Peter looked surprised. "Don't look so surprised, she knows everything. It's like she's got eyes in the back of her head."

"Just to keep a better eye on Peter," Elizabeth quipped as everyone sat down. "Telling me that you're going to do it doesn't help your case though."

"How's your head?" Peter asked of Neal after he got over his shock and everyone congratulated the couple.

"I'll live," Neal replied. "What's all the paperwork for?"

"It's about to be explained," Peter replied as he motioned to Nate.

"For a while now," Nate said as he looked over his team. "I know that you have been overworked in our cases. It also doesn't help that usually we have to go across the country and leave our home base. However, that is going to change. Peter has offered to head up our Seattle office, where we will send him cases that we get in that area and west of the Mississippi. We will take cases on the east side and continue like we have done before. It just means that there is one more team and there might be times when we're both working together on one case."

Neal thought about this before looking at Peter. "Why aren't we just retiring?"

"Because he'd live about one week before he started getting on my nerves," Elizabeth replied matter of factly.

"And because you'd get bored and break the illusion that we're all dead," Peter replied.

"Wait wait a minute," Hardison said. "They're only half a team. Mastermind, grifter, and thief."

Elizabeth looked amused. "Eliot," she said as she got up and motioned for him to come over.

Eliot sighed and did so as Elizabeth moved furniture out of the way. He attacked first as Elizabeth grabbed his arm and threw him over onto his back. He rolled over and took out her legs, moving to attack from on top as she slid out of the way. He stopped and looked over at the rest of the team. "You could just take her at her word, but I need a good workout."

"Alright," Hardison said, his voice a bit high. "But what about a hacker?"

"Mozzie," Neal replied with a grin. "He's going to be more than willing to get out of the city, even though he probably thinks I'm dead."

"Already talked to him and he's wondering why you didn't let him in on the plot," Peter replied smoothly before looking at Hardison. "So we have a team," he said and looked at Nate. "If you think we're not going to work well together, send us the small cases at first. We'll work our way up."

"I think you're ready to just go with the big cases, but I think that's a better idea," Nate replied. "Hardison, set them up like we had in our first office. Minus the bomb."

"Bomb was a good back up plan," Hardison replied.

"Fine, with the bomb," Nate said with a sigh. "But I think we're done, for the moment."

"I agree," Peter replied with a nod of his head as he noticed Neal and Kate were already gone from the table to spend some time together.

In the next week, everything was set in motion. The funerals were held and then the FBI left Elizabeth to do what she wanted – including a move to Seattle. The office was set up for them and the two teams went their separate ways with one goal in mind – providing Leverage to those who had none.

Author's Note: Well, this is the end. Thank you to everyone who has read this. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Thank you to everyone who has left reviews, as they have meant a lot to me.

Two special thank yous:

Peppymint – to allowing me to adopt her plot bunny

TatraMegami – for listening to me, cheering me on, and helping me to write this fic. If not for you, this probably would have taken a lot longer than it did. So, thank you.

Of course, this is not the end end, due to the fact that I have a sequel brewing in my mind as well as a prequel. So, until that time when I decide to pick up these characters again, happy trails to everyone.
