Chapter 100.
Hey everyone. Back with the final chapter.
So here we are at last, the final chapter of this story. Before any of you ask, yes I do plan to continue this series, and I will be doing many stories instead of a trilogy.
Read my A/N at the end of the chapter to see what I have to say on the rest of the series.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.
On with the show.
Power of Magic: Thanks for the review. Wait and see in this chapter on any Heroes moving to another Earth. Enjoy the chapter.
OmniUIShaggyOverexagerated: Thanks for the review. Sorry for the tears, but the song fit the mood. The COIE event is a very long time away, as I have up to 20 more stories planned before we reach the COIE event. Enjoy the chapter.
No One's POV.
Earth-199999, Avengers Tower.
All the Heroes from Earth-1, Earth-2, Earth-3, Earth-9, Earth-19, Earth-21, Earth-38, Earth-51, Earth-X, Earth-84, Earth-89, Earth-96, Earth-143, Earth-167, Earth-898, Earth-10005, Earth-1937, Earth-1984, Earth-1992, Earth-2002, Earth-2004, Earth-2005, Earth-2012, Earth-2013, Earth-2016, Earth-2017, Earth-2018, Earth-2019, Earth-8096, Earth-80216, Earth-92131, Arda and Earth-199999 stood together, staring down at the six Infinity Stones and the Silmaril on the table.
"As you all know, we are here to discuss something very important." Steve opened the discussion.
"The fate of the six Infinity Stones." Gandalf said with a tap of his staff as all paid attention.
"What should we do about them?" Wilson asked.
"Why can't we just destroy them?" Rachel Roth asked.
"Yes, Wanda did destroy one." Elizabeth reminded.
"We cannot destroy them." Thane said as all looked to him, "They have been here since the beginning of time. They are a quintessential part of existence."
"If they are destroyed, all of Eä may have to pay the price." Galadriel added.
"Not just the Universe, even the Multiverse can be affected, mate." Constantine said.
"So we can't do that then." Eddie Brock said as all winced a bit.
"No we can't." Strange said.
"But power like this should never fall into the wrong hands ever again." Aragorn pointed out and all nodded in agreement.
"And it won't." Celeborn said, "Because we will split them apart."
"They were split apart before this, Lord Celeborn." Sam pointed out.
"No they were not split apart." Drax said as all looked at him in confusion, "They were always one and whole. They were not split into two."
The Guardians rolled their eyes as Rocket said, "Metaphors go over the heads of his people."
"How many times do I have to tell you that nothing goes o-"
"That is enough, Drax!" Gamora snapped so he shut up.
"I do not think he meant split them apart in this Universe." Oliver realized and Celeborn nodded.
"So we are splitting them apart the Multiverse then?" Alexia asked and Oliver nodded at her.
"Considering the damage they have caused and the damage destroying them will cause, sounds pretty logical to me." Peter Maximoff shrugged.
"Splitting them apart is the only way to make sure someone like Thanos or Morgoth doesn't try to use them again." Jason said.
"And what about the Silmaril?" Legolas asked.
"We will take it back with us." Galadriel said and all nodded in agreement as that was rather fitting.
"So who will take which Stone?" Rebecca finally asked.
"The Masters of the Mystic Arts have sworn an oath to protect the Time Stone. So it stays with me." Strange said in a tone that left no room for argument.
With that, he picked it up.
"The Space Stone was stolen from our people." Thor said as he and Loki exchanged a look, "I will take it."
"Wise move, brother." Loki agreed as Thor picked it up.
"Now which one of them is the most dangerous?" Diana asked.
"Oh! That has to be the Power Stone." Quill spoke from experience as he exchanged a look with the other Guardians.
"I'd rather not touch that purply thing again." Rocket agreed.
"I am Groot." Groot agreed too.
"So who's taking it then?" Nebula asked.
"We can take it." Atom offered, "No one would find it in the Waverider."
"Hell no!" Jason immediately vetoed the idea. "If half the stories I've heard are true, I wouldn't trust you morons with a lunch order."
"Hey! We can keep it safe!" Nate protested.
"Sure guys. The timeline loves getting screwed. I wonder how it's not pregnant yet." Jason quipped, making them all wince.
"Guys, he is right." Sara said, "I mean, when we fix one mess, we create another."
"You created a world without Star Wars!" Cisco said as if it was a big offence, while Luke Skywalker shot them all strange looks.
"Seriously guys? And I thought you were cool." Tony said to Atom who looked sheepish.
"Point is, you guys cannot have it." Bruce said and they didn't argue this time, knowing the others were right.
"I'll take it." Clark offered as all turned to him, "No one will find it in the Fortress of Solitude."
"I think that's a good idea." Natasha agreed as Clark picked it up and wasn't affected, not that the others were shocked considering what they had seen him do in the battles.
"I can take the Reality Stone." Gandalf said, "The Valar will safeguard it."
"I also believe the Reality Stone will be safe with the Valar." Thor agreed. Gandalf nodded and picked it up.
"And the Mind Stone?" Danny asked.
"We can take it." Kal offered as all looked at him. "We can keep it safe." He said as the rest of the Earth-21 Justice League nodded in agreement.
"I think that is a wise decision." Jason agreed, feeling that given the incredible feats of its members, it would be good.
"That leaves the Soul Stone." Merry said.
"Now what to do about it?" Pippin wondered.
"I know." Dr Fate said as all looked at him, "Fate has decreed that Nasus the Curator of the Sands must take the Soul Stone."
"I agree with him. Trust me, you should have seen him during the Darkin War, he massacred an army of gods." White Canary chuckled, remembering old times.
"I agree." Thane nodded in approval.
"I believe that covers it." J'onn summed it all up.
Later.
Steve, Tony, Thor, Natasha, Clint, Jason, Rebecca and Pepper sat together as in front of them sat Fury and Maria.
Fury started, "I know you're all mad at us-"
"Mad?" Clint snapped, "Did he just say mad?"
"He did." Natasha said.
"We aren't mad!" Pepper said, "That's an understatement."
Fury said, "I did what I had to-"
"You keep telling yourself that." Steve said.
"You may have good intentions, but you also manipulate people." Natasha said to him and he looked hurt for a second as she turned to Maria, "And staying with him has made you exactly like him."
Maria, with guilt in her eyes, started, "Nat-"
"We're done!" Tony snapped as they looked to him, "You both keep lying to us while expecting us to trust you."
"You're right." Fury said honestly, shocking them all, "We kept something from you which you had every right to know. And it was wrong."
"Did he just admit he was wrong?" Tony asked and all nodded, "Wow! That's a start."
"How can we make you trust us again?" Hill asked with guilt flashing in her eyes.
"You will have to earn it." Steve said and all the Avengers nodded.
"We won't keep secrets from you again." Fury said before he and Hill noticed something.
"Where's Dr. Banner?" Hill asked.
Harvard University, late afternoon.
Banner looked around, taking it all in. It had been 8 years since he had been here. People shot him strange looks but he continued on.
"Bruce?"
Banner tensed, and then turned around to see Betty Ross staring at him in shock.
"Hi Betty." Banner said awkwardly as he raised his hand, "Been a long while."
"By long while, you mean 8 years." Betty said and Banner looked sheepish, "How are you?"
"I am good. You?" He asked her.
"I'm good, minus coming back from being dusted." Betty said.
"Yeah, I knew that. Sorry I let it happen. But we got you all back at least." Banner said and she nodded at that.
"So…..how are things between you two?" Betty asked and Banner knew who she was referring to.
"We are both good now. We made peace. You were right about him never being a disease. He was always part of me." Banner admitted to her.
"That's good." Betty said, looking happy for him.
"So….you dating anyone?" Banner asked, trying to keep his voice even but clearly he didn't succeed as she gave him an amused smirk that made her look exactly like Arwen in the moment, minus the pointy ears.
"No I'm not. You?" She asked him.
"No. I'm not." Banner replied honestly and she nodded.
"Good." She said, confusing Banner.
But his confusion vanished when she walked up to him and grabbing him, kissed him passionately.
Banner was caught off-guard but grabbing her, kissed back with equal passion. They were reunited at last.
Avengers Tower.
Every hero was in the Tower, all interacting with each other.
Wayne looked at Eddie curiously as he looked similar to his old enemy Bane.
"You know him?" Detective asked as he walked up to him.
"Kind of." Wayne shrugged.
White Canary sighed as she looked out of the window.
"Aurelion Sol, I thank thee for the rivers that run all day. I thank thee for the pastures where cattle may roam." She whispered.
Yasuo looked at her with a smile and said, "I will live as a wolf. That's the life I choose. I grew up in misery and I never felt love. Raised by the wolves, I live as a wolf."
Nearby, Thane approached Tony, tapping him on the shoulder.
"Stark, I want to say that I accept your offer to join the Avengers." He said, making Tony look at him.
"Really?" he asked, and Thane nodded.
"I am positive." He replied with conviction in his voice.
Tony smiled at him and said, "Well then bud, welcome to the Avengers."
Thane grinned, happy that he and finally found a home.
Jason was talking to Steve nearby.
"I think I'm gonna join the Avengers." He said, making Steve look at him with surprise.
"You are?" Steve asked.
"I'm done leaving. Besides, half my team is dead. And I can do more good as an Avenger than I can as a vigilante." Jason replied.
Steve smiled and put his hand on Jason's shoulder. "Welcome back."
"It's good to be back." Jason grinned.
Jessica was drinking when she saw Trish walking up to her, not making eye contact but simply standing there.
"What?" Jessica asked as she downed her drink in one go.
"Mr. Stark says he can get a deal to free me from the prison." Trish said, "In return, I'd have to testify about the illegal nature of the Raft and the Accords and be an Avenger."
"Well, congratulations, Patsy! Now you'll kill bad guys with your 'cray-cray' now." Jessica said sarcastically as Trish sighed.
"You were right." Trish sad as Jessica looked up at her, "About everything. I should not have killed your mom. I had no right to do it. And I should have listened to you when you warned me about the path I was going on. But I didn't listen! I was so goddamn and self-righteous and convinced that I was right! And in my hubris, I betrayed the one person who stood by me during everything."
Jessica looked up at Trish, who now had tears in her eyes, "I didn't listen to you about Salinger and let my anger get the better of me. Then, instead of trying to improve and change, I spiralled even worse. And I tried to kill you! The one person who never turned her back on me! Who was always there for me no matter what."
"I did cut contact with you after the Kilgrave stuff." Jessica shrugged.
"That was different, and you know it." Trish said, "I was a bitch and a terrible person! Even my mom wasn't that bad. I know I do not deserve it, but I am sorry."
Jessica looked at Trish, and knew she was being honest as she continued, "If you hate me, I won't blame you. You have every right to because I can't take back what I did."
And then breaking down, she said, "But I'm sorry. Sorry for everything."
As Trish burst into tears, Jessica hugged her, like she always used to and said, "I don't think I can forgive you…..yet. But….I'd like it if we move past this finally and you actually use your powers for the right thing."
The two let go as Trish nodded with a watery smile and said, "I will. I promise."
And then they hugged again.
Same night.
The Legends, along with Jessica, Tommy, Katarina and Luke, were trying to celebrate in a nearby bar.
And Mick was having a lot of fun while the others were watching him in amusement.
"You know what, I'm staying!" Mick exclaimed to his team. They all exchanged shocked glances, reasonably so, with Atom wondering how absolutely murderous Frank would look.
Before a move could be made, a bottle of beer smashed over his bald head. Mick hit the ground unconscious. Eyes widened at the one responsible.
"What a moron." Katarina threw away the broken remains before walking away, "At least on my Earth, guys like him know how to quit while there ahead."
She walked out as everyone else tried to make sense of the situation that had just unfolded.
"Remind me never to get on her bad side." Nate finally said after two whole minutes of silence.
Avengers Compound.
"I believe this belongs to you." Aragorn said as he held out Mjolnir to Thor.
"You can keep it." Thor said, to the shock of everyone in the room.
"What?" Aragorn asked, sure he had misheard.
"With everything that has happened, I am sure new threats will arise for both of our worlds." Thor told Aragorn, "And your people will need great powers to watch over them. So I believe you should keep Mjolnir."
He then took the hammer from Aragorn for a second and looking at it said, "I'm going to miss you."
It looked to everyone like the hammer was saying something back to him before Thor handed it to Aragorn, who looked absolutely grateful and even more humble than normal.
"Thank you." Aragorn said as he held out his hand, which Thor shook.
"From this day forth, Middle-Earth can consider Asgard an ally to it." Thor promised.
"And all Kingdoms of Middle-Earth will now be allies to Asgard and Earth as well, if they need it." Aragorn promised back as they grasped hands firmly and Aragorn moved away to Arwen.
He put an arm around her.
Tulkas was there too to discuss something.
He then looked at everyone and said, "From now on, the Valar is changing some of its rules."
"Like what?" Oliver asked.
"Thanos and Morgoth have shown us that sitting idle and letting others handle things is not the wisest choice." Gandalf spoke up, "So from now on, we will be doubling our efforts and watch, and even interfere if something terrible happens."
"So the Valar will actually be helping?" Tony asked and he nodded.
Detective, Deathstroke, Jason and Donna were saying goodbye to Bilbo and Thorin.
"Farewell my friends." Bilbo said as he hugged them all, even a reluctant Deathstroke.
"You too Bilbo. Although I have a feeling we'll see each other soon." Jason smiled.
And then they parted as Bilbo walked to where Gandalf, Tulkas, the other Hobbits and Galadriel were standing.
"We will be seeing more of each other soon." Gandalf said.
"Look forward to it." Detective said.
Galadriel and Arwen shared a look as Galadriel then walked to her and kissed her forehead before moving back to where the others were.
Arwen gave her a nod.
Gandalf tapped his staff and then three disappeared.
"Oh I'm gonna miss them all so much." Sara said and all nodded.
"All of us are." Steve agreed.
Aragorn then held out his hand to Steve but got a hug instead which he returned as Steve gave Arwen a reassuring nod.
Boromir also had hugs with Steve and Sara, who had to say goodbye to Merry and Pippin again, while Natasha had to do the same to Sam.
Oliver and Jason had a friendly chat and farewell with Legolas and Gimli too.
"I believe we will meet each other again." Aragorn said as all the ones from Middle-Earth stood together.
"I believe so too." Steve said before tossing Aragorn an interdimensional extrapolator as well as Sam, "You can use them whenever you want."
They nodded in appreciation and then Aragorn opened a breach. They nodded at each other one last time as the ones from Middle-Earth walked into the breach at last before it closed.
Nearby, Gamora bid Constantine farewell, "Thank you for what you did for me."
"It was my pleasure, luv." Constantine told her, "The least I could do."
She nodded as the two shook hands and she moved away.
"Where are you gonna go?" Fury asked Carol.
"Back to Space." Carol told him before looking at the others, "But this time I promise to stay in touch."
They all smirked and nodded as Carol asked Fury, "Are you all right?"
Fury didn't respond, except lightly shaking his head.
"I'm guessing it's time for us to go too now." Barry-Red said as they all then faced each other.
"It's not goodbye though." Tony said, "More like 'see you next time.'"
"Yes, that is exactly how I feel too." Sinthea agreed as all chuckled.
"If you need us, we'll be there." Steve assured.
"And so will we." Oliver assured as well.
Cisco then opened a breach and soon, all of them walked into it one by one, waving goodbye to the heroes.
Steve gave a wistful look before Trish asked, "So what will we do now?"
"I am going to Norway with my brother." Thor told everyone, "We will build New Asgard there. And I need to apologize to Lady Sif."
"For what?" Tony asked him.
"I have hurt her feelings by not returning her affections." Thor said, "I am thankful for meeting Jane Foster, as she is among those responsible for me being who I am. But I do not think she was the one. Lady Sif always was. I feel for her too. I see it now."
"Well, good luck, Point Break." Tony said as he held out his hand and Thor shook it.
"Good luck." Steve said too as they shook hands.
Then Thor walked out as the others looked after him.
After a few minutes, Steve finally said, "Now let's get to work."
"Oh absolutely." Jason agreed, "Stopping Thanos and Morgoth isn't gonna rid the world of threats."
"Nope. But we are going to stop them." Steve said and all nodded.
They all walked out into the combat arena, where the new members had assembled.
There was a blur of yellow lightning as Wally West sped up and removed his cowl.
Thane ignited his hands with energy as he gave a small smirk.
White Canary whirled her bo-staff as her eyes radiated an aura of excitement that she had not had for a very long time.
A grappling arrow was fired as Tommy Merlyn landed on the ground and laughed happily.
Thundering footsteps were heard as Namor whirled his Trident.
Jason smiled and looked upwards and whispered softly.
"I did my best. It wasn't much. I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch. I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you. And even though it all went wrong, I'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue, but Hallelujah."
No matter what happened, the world would always have them watching over it.
And many heroes protecting different sections of the Multiverse.
Because that's what heroes did.
And this is done finally! I know it looked a little rushed but that's what happens when trying to end a story with a scope this big.
Now before anyone asks, yes there will be many sequels to this. I have a lot of small-scale sequels in my mind, along with quite a few large scale ones.
PM me if you want to know more about the sequels.
There's definitely going to be a Void story where the Watchers, the Void-Born and there allies battle Strange, Thor, Constantine, Earth-96 Sara and the rest of the Heroes of the Multiverse.
There will also be a story where all the Heroes of the Multiverse team up to fight Mordakaiser aka The Iron Revenant from League of Legends.
And I'm gonna end this series with Crisis on Infinite Earths, but that story is a very long time away, and it's gonna be very different from the show, as the show's version pissed me off a lot.
I may even add the KDA and/or True Damage bands to this series and they will probably exist on separate worlds.
I'm even thinking of involving a few more fandoms into this series and seeing how it all plays out.
And I will definitely be doing a prequel story centred on Earth-96 Sara and her adventures on the League of Legends Earth, but that story will happen later.
I hope the farewells were handled as well as they could in a crossover this big.
So now Jason, Wally, Thane, White Canary, Tommy, Trish and Namor have joined the Avengers. I hope you liked the new additions.
As for Bruce/Betty, I think Betty suits him more than Natasha ever did. So Bruce/Betty will be a thing in this series.
And I always preferred Thor/Sif to Thor/Jane. I liked Jane in the first Thor movie, but the second one ruined her character for me. So Thor/Sif will be a pairing in this series.
I didn't do a post-credits scene because like in Avengers: Endgame, we ended something massive, so teasers for the future are unnecessary and ruin the flow.
So I hope everyone has enjoyed this story as well as the series so far.
I will also post a notice on this story when the sequel is up.
I would like to thank everyone who read, reviewed, favirouted, followed or enjoyed this series and gave me so much support for it. It is very much appreciated.
And special shout-outs to Aragorn II Elessar, Razy Riddle and TheLycanKing for there help with this story. It means a lot.
It has been a pleasure.
Until next time.
