Chapter 26- Making up and goodbyes
The Magic Box
The Scoobies, the Avengers and Strange sat down together. After the defeat of Glory and the closing of the portal, Strange had burnt Ben's dead body and used magic to scatter the ashes all over the world, to prevent anyone from resurrecting her.
"So blonde chick is beaten then", Tony said randomly, breaking the silence.
"Yes, she is, which means my work is finished", Strange said as he got up, looking at them all. "Though I have a feeling we are going to meet again very soon."
"So not looking forward to it", Tony said.
"Took the words right out of my mouth", Strange agreed as he opened a portal and walked into it, and then it closed.
"That is so cool, I wish I could do that", Willow said.
"Maybe one of the books say how to do it", Tara added and Willow nodded.
"I think we should go too", Natasha said. "We are still wanted."
"Which is unfortunate", Bucky muttered in agreement.
"Cap, I will try to get something done, I promise", Tony said to him as he held out his hand.
"Even you don't have the power to amend the Accords, Tony", Steve said as he and Tony shook hands, feeling like they could trust each other again now.
"Won't know until I try", Tony said and Steve nodded.
Steve then turned to Peter, Buffy and the rest. "You're all brave and honorable people, and it was my honor to fight alongside all of you."
The Gang clearly flushed at the praise as Steve held out his hand and Giles shook it. "The honor was mine, Captain."
"Yeah, mine too", Buffy agreed as she shook it too.
"Not as much as mine", Peter said as he shook it then. "And it was awesome to fight on the same side."
"Yeah", Steve agreed. "Like I said, you got heart, Queens."
"Not as big as you, Brooklyn", Peter said and they shared a knowing chuckle again.
"Can I have an autograph?" Xander suddenly asked, taking out a picture of Steve he had.
"Sure", Steve said as he picked up a pen from the table and signed it.
"If I had a photo, I'd get it too", Dawn said. "Or you can do it in my notebook."
She took it out and Steve gave her a sign too before turning to the rest. "I guess its time to go now."
"Yeah", Sam agreed. "We shouldn't hang around here for too long."
"So this is goodbye then", Willow said.
"Yeah, like the Captain, it was an honor to fight alongside you", T'Challa agreed and they waved at each other as Team Cap and Logan walked out together.
"Bye Vision", Wanda waved at him.
"Bye Wanda", he said with a nod while she waved at the Scoobies and they waved back happily.
"You got good aim, kid", Clint said to Xander. "But you can always improve."
"Thanks", Xander said. If Hawkeye said his aim was good, it was good. With that, they all walked out.
"You sure you wanna come with us, Logan?" Steve asked. "You'd be a fugitive too."
"I'm a soldier like you, Cap, and its time I stopped hiding", Logan said.
"Welcome to the team", Steve said, holding out his hand as Logan shook it.
"You sure you wanna come too?" Natasha asked Bucky.
"Yes", Bucky nodded as they looked into each other's eyes.
And just like that, the Secret Avengers had two more members.
Tony got up and said. "Guess it's time for us to go too. Pepper and Rhodey would be concerned, and there is Ross to deal with."
He held out his hand to Buffy. "Pleasure working with you."
Buffy knew Tony and Peter had made up but decided to have some fun anyway as she shook his hand and grasped it a little tighter than normal, making Tony wince as she said. "Yeah you too."
Seeing Tony's expression, Buffy asked. "Umm, did you eat anything bad or what?"
The rest struggled to contain their snickers as Tony said. "Uhh, no, I didn't eat anything!"
"Really? Because that kind of expression you can only get if you're having a bad stomach problem", Buffy quipped and Peter put his hand on his mouth to prevent anyone from seeing his silent laughing face, while Giles looked down and smirked, trying to keep it even, and the rest were struggling not to burst out laughing. "Umm, maybe you're trying to keep some, you know, gaseous stuff in, is that it? Don't worry, no one will laugh at you."
"Yes that's it!" Tony said, and he would have screamed had Buffy not let his hand go in the moment.
He rubbed that hand with his other one for two full minutes as Peter walked up to him, holding out his hand, but Tony backed off. "Nope, kid. Not again, never again."
He looked at him and Buffy and said. "I think I deserved that."
He then looked at Peter and said. "Once again, I'm sorry for everything, kid, you deserved better."
"Don't worry, you're forgiven, and well, Buffy has said the rest", Peter said as he and Buffy chuckled and did a high five while Tony chuckled too, deciding the joke on himself wasn't too bad. "Come on Vision."
Vision got up as Tony held out his hand and summoned his armor, wearing it all, awing the Scooby Gang with how badass and awesome it looked. He then walked out as he said. "That's all folks."
With that, he and Vision flew up into the air and away.
"So, we just teamed up with the Avengers to save the world", Tara then said.
"And if she finds something cool, you know it is!" Willow agreed as they all shared a laugh.
"Yes, this was just the best", Dawn said too.
"I'll be off then", Spike said as he walked out, and Buffy followed him.
"Spike!" She said as he turned to her.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Thank you", she told him as she walked to him. "For what you did."
"No problem", Spike shrugged, and then, giving in to the heat of the moment, they ended up kissing again, closing their eyes as they lost themselves in each other before parting, looking at each other, uncertain about this.
Spike then turned around and walked off. "See you later."
"So, I guess we should go out then?" Peter asked Dawn. "If you want that is, I mean, you won't mind, right? Or you would, or-"
"I will go out with you", Dawn said as Peter sighed in relief. "Just wondering where, and when, and how, and-"
She shut up too as the two teenagers realized how awkward this was, and ended up kissing again, making sure no one was watching.
"Time to get back to work now", Giles said.
Next day
Peter and Dawn arrived at the Magic Box together and saw only Buffy and, to their surprise, May standing there, while the rest were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are the others?" Peter asked nervously.
"We sent them away for a bit", May said. "We need to have a talk with you too."
"Right now?" Dawn asked, as nervous as Peter.
"Yes, young lady, right now", Buffy said in a tone that left no room for argument. "Sit down."
The two teenagers sat down as May started. "So, I'm not opposed to you two dating, but there have to be some ground rules."
"Like?" Peter asked.
"No making out", Buffy said. "At least not where I can see it."
"Nope, none at all actually", May said as Peter and Dawn shared a weird look.
Dawn started. "But it's a bit weird if two people who date don't m-"
"It's final!" Buffy said and they groaned.
"Hand holding is allowed though", May said. "And-"
May and Buffy continued setting ground rules like that, as Peter and Dawn exchanged a weird look while groaning, wishing this torture ended soon.
Though, with Glory gone, Sunnydale was going to be peaceful for at least some time, other than random Vamp attacks or Demon stuff, and if that happened, the Slayer, Spider-Man, and their Scooby Gang would always be ready to deal with it.
And that's this story ended at last, phew! I end it by torturing Peter and Dawn *evil laugh*
Never thought I'd actually be able to end it when I first began. I posted Chapter 1 without thinking the entire thing through, and made up the plot of the second half as I went along.
But now, it's finally over on a good and happy note.
So I thank everyone for reading, favoriting, following or reviewing this story or supporting me any way while I wrote it, and bearing with me till the end of this.
Now there is of course going to be a question about a sequel, or sequels, and honestly, I am not sure how to do 'em. Like, the basic plot points are in my head, but how to do 'em, I'm totally blank over that. And so I cannot promise any sequels, though this story will remain up regardless of whether I write a sequel or not.
And well, Seasons 6 and 7 won't come to pass here, the only big loss about it is that I won't get to do 'Once More, With Feeling', since I was thinking of having Peter sing 'Itsy-Bitsy Spider', 'Spider-Man Does Whatever A Spider Can' and 'Spectacular Spider-Man' in that episode, but guess not now, since it won't happen.
Of course we have Infinity War and Endgame related stuff, and I may even alternative versions of doing at least a few plot points of Season 6, and Season 7 too, but I still have no idea what to exactly do, so no promises people.
Anyway, once more, thank you to all of you guys for sticking by me till the end of this fic, and I am grateful to each and every one of you.
Until next time.
Stay safe from the coronavirus ya all!
