DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE AVENGERS OR MARVEL!
Aaron looks over at Sarah as she pilots the jet to the grassy landing of the airport. The white haired woman smiles at her now husband, happily married two years now. They kiss softly before climbing out of the cockpit to the main section.
"Sarah, can you take Howard? Aaron, Barney wants you," Clint says as the young couple climbs back. The two smile and take their young sons from the arms of their grandparents.
"Ready?" Sarah asks them. The group nods picking up children here and there as a few other jets landed around them. The ramp lowers and causing Aaron and Sarah to smile at the sight. Ally waves from the middle of the townspeople.
Sarah and Aaron walk down the ramp first and are barraged with hugs and kisses by kids and adults alike. Sarah smiles as she reaches Ally and gives her a one armed hugged.
"Aw, who is this little fella?" Ally asks motion to the fifteen month old in Sarah's arms.
"This is my son Howard Barton," Sarah replies running a hand through the boy's blond hair. "Aaron has Barney his twin." Aaron makes his way up and hugs Ally. Ally coos over the babies as a gasp rings out from the kids.
"It's the Avengers!" someone shouts.
"I promised didn't I?" Sarah questions them as she makes her way back to her family. "Townspeople, meet my family, the Avengers." The Avengers and family mingle with the locals. The Super Crew soon joins the mingling while Natalia and SJ are stuck babysitting toddlers.
Aaron walks over to Sarah and wraps an arm around her. "I love you," he whispers kissing her temple. "Nick says the school will be done in a few months and we'll be assigned to it."
"I'll enjoy that," Sarah chuckles. "I never imagined we could have a superhero life and a normal one too." Aaron smiles at her. "Things are so simple. Our family is whole."
A week later SJ walks into a dark warehouse in New York. He walks up to a throne and kneels before it.
"What is the status?" the figure on the throne inquires.
"They suspect nothing. They believe I am true to their cause," SJ replies looking up. "Herr Schmidt."
The Red Skull smiles and stands up patting the boy on the head. "Your allegiance comforts me, boy. Dismissed." SJ walks out of the building and a few miles later ends up in a pub. He sits down across from a figure.
"What does the Red Skull think?" the figure asks SJ softly.
"That I am true to his cause and disloyal to the Avengers," SJ replies. "I don't like this plan."
"We need to get close. Its better this way," the figure says firmly. The figure reaches over and ruffles SJ's hair. "You are ready for this. The Skull will fall by our hand, it will take time." A swipe of white hair shifts out of the figure's hood and a smile flashes on feminine lips. "Go home." SJ nods and leaves the pub without a word. Another man sits down and kisses the figure's hand.
"We are ready," he tells the figure.
"We might have lost many fights but we will still win the war my love," the figure says softly.
I didn't realize upon writing this chapter and the last that this chapter here would be the last one for this story. I'm still debating a sequel hence the open ending here. I didn't even plan the abrupt ending either but it feels fitting for the story in a way. Well, if I do make a sequel I will let you all know.
