Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.
And this is the final chapter, thank you to everyone who has stuck with me so far.
Guest: Thanks for the review. MCU Sam was only mentioned when he took out a Chitauri Gorilla with his wings like in the film, every other time it was Sam Wilder, Paige's father, from 'Charmed'.
Chapter 15- Lost and Found
Halliwell Manor
The door opened as the 3 sisters, Leo, Henry, Sam, Coop and Victor walked in. Billie had gone off for now while Morris had bid his farewell too.
The Sisters had also gone back to the Heavens and returned the powers of the Greek Gods before coming back down. And they had taken the Gauntlet with the Stones there too, so the Elders had used the energy of these alternate Stones to track down the atoms into which the original Stones had been reduced, to recreate them and give them to those who could keep them safe.
"The Infinity Stones are a crucial part of creation. Without them, the Universe shall collapse one day", Sandra had said.
So now the Universe was properly saved at last.
Piper and Leo also held Wyatt and Chris respectively in their arms.
"Home sweet home", Phoebe said as they all smiled and Paige went up, putting the Book of Shadows back in its rightful place, where it belonged.
Paige walked back down and commented. "The world is a strange place, Universe now."
Piper nodded in agreement. "If someone had told me all of this existed 13 years ago, that we weren't alone, let alone to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. But come on, you know?"
"Yeah", Coop agreed. "Epic forces of light and darkness were always in play."
"And for better or worse, Wyatt and Chris will now have to grow up in this reality", Leo told them, looking at the two baby boys as he and Piper cooed at them.
"Well, we're back now", Henry commented.
"Yeah, things have changed, like you're dating Captain America, Paige", Piper said to her, she and Phoebe giving her the 'older sister' look.
"Yes, that happened, and also, I'm older than both of you now", Paige smirked, making their eyes widen in shock. "Oh yeah! Guess you forgot that, huh? HAHA! I'm the oldest sister now!"
"She's never gonna let us live that down, is she?" Phoebe asked Piper as both groaned in annoyance.
"No she's not", Piper agreed there.
Later, Avengers Compound
Paige orbed to where Steve was he turned to her. "I'm gonna return all Stones tomorrow."
"Good luck", Paige told him as they walked closer to each other and she offered. "I could come with you if you want."
"No, I can do it on my own, but offer's appreciated", Steve smiled at her as she smiled back, and then leaning into each other, they shared a loving kiss which soon turned hungrier as Paige unbuttoned Steve's shirt and he took off her top, then lifted her up as she wrapped her legs around him and he carried her to the bed.
Next morning
Steve looked at Paige's sleeping naked form, and kneeling down to her, kissed her forehead before capturing her lips in a kiss, which woke her up as she kissed back, though she was still drowsy currently.
"I have to go", Steve then whispered as he turned but she grasped his hand.
"Right now?" She asked sleepily.
"Yeah, I'll come back though", Steve assured as Paige smiled and dropped her hand.
"Good luck."
And then she went off to sleep once more.
Later, 1970
Steve returned the Teserract to where it belonged, then walked out, before noticing Peggy again, talking to someone, and hid, watching her for a few seconds.
While he'd always care about her, he knew they were never meant to be, not then and not now.
Peggy was his past. Paige wasn't just his future. Paige was his everything now.
Later, Vormir
Steve walked to the place, prepared for what he would see due to Paige having warned him about all of it beforehand.
"Welcome Steven, son of Sarah", Schmidt said as he appeared before Steve, and Steve looked at him, his face a mix of emotions as the two former archenemies stared at each other.
"Schmidt", Steve said in a neutral tone, remembering Paige had said he was nothing like before now due to the punishment he had been given.
And Steve knew this was exactly what Schmidt deserved.
"I used to be that once, now, I am just the Guardian of the Soul Stone", Schmidt told Steve neutrally. "My everlasting torment."
Steve would have said something, but he just accepted this was it for Schmidt, and nodded. "How do I return it?"
"Just throw it over the cliff", Schmidt said.
"Just like that?"
"Just like that", Schmidt said before fading away as Steve took out the Soul Stone and taking a deep breath, threw it off the cliff.
A few seconds later, there was a bright glow and a small spec flew out into the sky before transforming into Prue, who looked down at Steve.
"You're Prue, right? The oldest sister?" Steve asked and Prue nodded.
"I am, its nice to meet you, Captain Rogers", Prue said as she flew down to Steve and held out her hand which he shook.
"I'm glad I could free you", Steve said simply. "And its nice to meet you too."
"Yeah, I'm just glad my youngest sister found someone like you, who saved her from the darkness", Prue looked at Steve gratefully, then said. "You two have my blessing."
Steve looked down, considering, then looked back up at Prue with a smile. "Thank you."
"You're welcome", Prue told him. "Take care of her."
"I will", Steve assured as Prue's spirit turned into a spec and flew off into the sky.
And with that, this job was done at last.
Later, night time, present day
"And here we are again", Paige commented as she and Steve sat together in the restaurant with the music and dance, and this time, they were the only ones here, which was surprising as everyone was back.
Well, those people were still processing it for sure.
"Yeah", Steve told Paige. "Seems kind of full circle, doesn't it?"
"Sure does", Paige nodded as Steve held out his hand, and Paige grasped it as they walked to the floor, slowly swaying to the music, this time both of them knowing exactly how to dance.
As they gazed into each other's eyes lovingly, Steve told Paige. "When I first came out of the ice, I didn't think I had anyone now. All were gone, but then I got Bucky back. Still, I didn't think I could ever be happy, be at peace."
Paige narrowed her eyes, wondering where Steve was going with this as he continued. "Then I met you. The real you. She was kind, caring, loving, putting the needs of everyone else before herself, stubborn to a fault but only due to how much she loved the people she cared about. And then I knew, you were the one."
Paige stopped as Steve went down on one knee, holding out a ring in a box. "Paige Matthews, will you marry me?"
Paige processed, the whole thing for five seconds, then said. "Yes!"
Steve looked at her as she said again. "Yes!"
And then Steve slipped the ring onto her finger and stood up as they smiled and shared a loving kiss, and then parted as Paige said. "I will marry you, Steve. I will."
And she did. The wedding was carried out with a lot of pomp, and many attended.
From Paige's side there were Piper (Maid of Honor), Phoebe, Leo, Darryl and his family, Henry, Coop, Victor, Sam Wilder, Billie, and the spirits of Patty, Penny, Prue and Paige's adoptive parents as well. Piper and Leo also held Wyatt and Chris with them.
From Steve's side there were Tony and Pepper with Morgan, Natasha, Thor, Clint and his family, Bruce and Betty, Bucky (the Best Man), Sam Wilson, Wanda, Scott and Hope.
"Do you, Steven Rogers, take Paige Matthews to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
"Do you, Paige Matthews, take Steven Rogers to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do."
"Then I pronounce you both, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
And with that, Steve and Paige kissed each other to applause from everyone in the room.
Paige felt happy and content at last, remembering when she had lost herself, and Steve had helped her find herself again, and now everyone who had been lost, they were back too.
It was all a case of lost and found.
And that's the end. I think this is my first big crossover story that I didn't turn into a series, LOL!
Anyway, I was going to add a scene from the future where Wyatt and Chris would have Steve's and Paige's son alongside them too, and he'd be really OP but couldn't fit it in.
Since Steve had Mjolnir when he and Paige did it, the kid would be 1/4th of all these- Asgardian, Witch, Whitelighter and Super Soldier.
He'd be hella OP.
But anyway, this is the end now, and I thank everyone who read, favorited, followed, reviewed, kudos'ed or bookmarked this fic and supported me in any way while I wrote it.
All of your support means a lot to me, like always.
Thank you very much to everyone.
Until next time.
