Epilogue

Percy sighed as she laid on her back, clutching her pillow to her body. She had been home for a week now and she had still yet to tell the Autobots, Archangels, and Avengers she was back. She was just too busy nursing her broken heart. It felt like when she left her loves, she left pieces of her heart with them and, although she was back to full power and was whole on that end, her spirit her very soul was the thing that wasn't whole.

She hadn't felt like this in ages, not since she came into this universe after the destruction of her original home, and even then it didnt come close to her pain now. Celeborn, Thranduil, and Glorfindel were literally her soulmates, beings that when they bonded their souls, would become as immortal as her.

CRASH! Her cabin door slammed open and she heard the voices of her Archangel sons laughing and joking as they settled in the living room. She had no doubt they didn't know she was there. She was masking her presence like she had done for years and as such she didnt register on their senses.

She sighed and shuffled up off her bed and wrapped her blanket around, shoved her feet into some fuzzy bunny slippers and shuffled to the open door connecting her room to the living room and just stood there waiting for one of them to notice her.

Lucifer glanced up for a second before returning his attention back to his book. He froze and jerked his eyes back up. "Mother?" He whispered causing the other three to go silent and jerk their heads around to behind them to see their mother standing there. Their hearts broke at her broken hearted expression.

Raphael was the first to reach her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her gently over to the couch where she settled in between Michael and Gabriel while Lucifer and Raphael knelt before her.

"Ma? What's wrong? When did you get back?" Gabriel asked, his own and Michael's arm looping around her body as they tried to give their mother some comfort. She didn't say anything for a moment and instead just turned and snuggled into Michael's chest, her face buried so they couldn't see.

"Mother, you're scaring us." Raphael pleaded, his hand stroking her back. She just shook her head.

"I don't want to talk about it." She whispered.

"Okay, you don't have to. And we won't make you," Michael said gently, stroking head as she had done to them when they were younger.

"I'll eventually be okay, my dear boys, don't you worry. It's just going to take me time... that's why i didn't want to let anyone know i was back. I didn't want to hurt you or worry you all seeing me like this."

"Don't worry about us or the others feelings, Mother, you're allowed to have feelings too." Lucifer said. "We would rather be here comforting you then find out you needed someone in a time of need and we weren't there. We love you, Mom."

"I love you boys too."

Percy allowed herself only the week of by herself and two days with her Archangel sons before she started to rejoin the real world. She let her very worried Archangel sons leave and return to their duties while she dressed in soft leather combat boots, black leggings, a white tank top, and a black leather jacket. She had her hair pined back with a gold head band and she was all set to go. With one breath she was gone from her cabin and reappeared at the NEST base with the next.

As soon as she appeared, guns from soldiers and Autobots were aiming at her causing her to smirk and hold her hands up in mock surrender. "Oh, no. Don't shoot." She said mockingly. Most soldiers and all the Autobots recognized her. The few that did not, including a woman who stormed over to her, kept guns on her. Lennox and Epps tried to stop her but the woman was having none of it.

"YOU! How did you get in here? This is a private military base!"

Percy raised an eyebrow and looked down on the woman, noting that all the humans on base seemed to be afraid of her. "Honey, i am the one person in this whole room that gives zero fucks of who you are or what your position is. I literally just got back from vacation and just came here to let the Autobots and soldiers of NEST know. And just let me tell you, you do not want to piss me off or something very bad will happen to you and your croonies and i wont even get a hand smacked for it. Am i understood?"

Percy hissed, standing inches away from the suddenly fearful woman that had oozed arrogance not even a minute before. The woman nodded frantically and stepped back. Percy smirked, maybe Thranduil had influenced her a little bit. That whole entire speech was pure him in a king snit.

"Good. Now take your people and get the hell off of my military base. Ill be giving a phone call to President of the United States to have your authority and access to NEST and the Autobots removed. You are not needed any longer."

It didn't take long before the woman and her team were gone, leaving dust in their wake. Epps and Lennox laughed loudly coming over and slapping Percy on the back.

"And that is liaison two moved to fear of Percy." Epps said.

"Its good to have you back!" Lennox cheered. Percy merely grinned and began to glow as her form grew to her Primus form. The soldiers watched with awe as usual but then went about their day. They had shit they could actually do now since the director was now gone and they could now do their jobs. The Autobots joined her, themselves transforming and gathering around her. Primus let her emerald optics glide over their forms and she was surprised to see their number had grown almost double since she had been gone.

"My children, it is good to be home. I have missed you so."

And although her heart still ached for her loves, she knew that she would see them again. After all, she had time. She could wait. Until that time came, however, she had duties to her children, to her creations. Percy could wait, and wait she would. Because love never faded, especially not the love between soulmates. She would see them again, and hopefully her children wouldn't kill them.

She was back and she was here to stay.

She was Persephone Jackson. She was God, the creator of this universe. She was Primus. She was the Creator.

In the distance, a male cackle was heard. "Primus will thank me later." And then, there in the distance, a baby started to cry as it was born.

"Her name is Persephone. Persephone Gilbert."
