Peter opened his eyes to the sun light of a new day of the New World without electricity. Blinking a couple of times he looked down at the mains of blonde and red hair that belong to his wife Mary Jane, Sue and well he still didn't really know what was their position was, his consort, Mera. They snuggled against him and each other like they done for the last 8 years of the 10 since the world ended.
Peter remember after the lights went off and the quakes finally stopped Mera finding them. They stayed together after the New World was finally set up to her people belief for the sake of Doris Curry while in truth she was Doris Parker.
As for Dory, May and Valeria they were as close as any sisters could be. Coming back to the present Peter manged to slip out of the ladies snuggling and went to make some coffee before the day got started. Activating the new heating system Peter soon had his coffee made and went to the balcony. He looked out at a sight few could have imagine in the old days. The sight of looking from his home on Mount Wakanda over the new supercities of New Metropolis after Superman's town.
He saw the ocean to the south. The still called Mediterranean Sea and where Italy use to be and New Atlantis was built. Mount Wakanda was where Italy touch the main land since the Alps mountains had all be crumble into nothing. In Slovenia. It was chosen to be able to travel anywhere. To his left the cost line of Greece could be seen to his right, France, Spain and just past them he could see the Atlantic Ocean with the line of the much reduced in size of America. To the South the coastline of the combined Africa and South America where the Brazil capital was.
Looking down at Mount Wakanda Peter saw both Wakanda and Greek god design in the building which was a surprise since the main Mountain was the original Mount Olympus that had combined during the Convergence with Wakanda forming Mount Wakanda.
Turns out before the strike team was sent the Greek gods attempt to deal with the Unmaker themselves and were defeated. The Last Olympians left was Hestia goddess of the Hearth, Aphrodite goddess of love who weren't fighters and Hera who it turns out had been turn human as punishment for her affair with the son of Poseidon Percy Jackson and Daughter of Athena Annabeth Chase. Which was meant to get them to stop Zeus thought the Jackson wouldn't want Hera if she wasn't a goddess anymore. Boy was he wrong. But that punishment or blessing was the reason Hera survived.
They agreed to allow a new city to be built on the mountain and around it. Since Wonder Woman was the last daughter of Zeus which made her the heir to his throne so she was elected Queen and rule along side King T'Challa though they weren't married and the new Olympian Council. The Olympian Council composed of leaders of the different factions of the world or the other supercities.
The EMP only affected the land they were in and not other lands like New Stark City, Midgardia or Xandearth which got their land named the Dark Lands. Because during the fall a event called the Convergence combined their earth with others in order to save the earth from destroying each other.
Peter thought about how much the world has and was still changing. How after their original world ended people were afraid and grieving which soon turned to anger. The wars fought over resources, borders, and ideologies. Which only aided to the billions of deaths. Then cutting through the anger, fear, and chaos came the voices of calm.
9 years ago
"Stop!" Yelled Wally West aka the Flash as he and the other speedsters yanked weapons out of peoples hands before they could kill each other. "It doesn't have to be this way!"
Laura Kinny aka Wolverine reached out for the soldier despite the blade in her shoulder. "It doesn't… hnnng… have to be like this." Her voice was calmed as was Supergirl as she gave a speech and people started listening and lowering their weapons or hands pulsing with power if they were Meta.
Batman on horse back was giving a speech to the people of Gotham both citizens and criminals. "Imagine something beyond this." And people listen.
Wonder Woman and her Amazon stopped riot and Diana gave a speech. "There's another way then this!" While Captain America held a man who lost his whole family. "It's all right. There's a better way, son."
"Who say a post apocalyptic world needs to be a bad place?" Said Peter the group of people who were looking up at him.
The Word started spreading thanks to the Telepaths linking minds and heroes and even some villains from America, Europe, Africa and South America stopped the fighting and use words. There was a answer and they could find it together.
Back to the Present
Peter remember how the world started coming back from climate destruction. Then from the balcony in the next house over a voice said. "Morning." Looking over he saw Connor Kent aka Superboy standing on his balcony with his wife Dinah Kent aka Black Canary. M'Gann must have been up all night with the greatest minds and must be sleeping in. Peter returned the greeting, thinking how one of the changes to the new land was that Polygamy was not a very big deal or even illegal anymore. Many people were married to multiple people. One guy like Connor or even Batman could have two wives or even three wives, in Batman case it was with Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul who put differences aside and gave the Dark Knight a daughter Helena and a son Damian. On men who has three wives one lucky man was Captain America himself who had Peggy Carter aka Captain Carter, Natasha Aka Black Widow and Queen Diana aka Wonder Woman who he was officially name consort to. Steve has three children James, Hunter, and Sharon Rogers were their names. One girl like the Atlantian Coral could have two husbands like La'gann and Rodunn, or if they were gay a woman like Gwen Stacy aka Ghost Spider could have two wives like her Mary Jane and Daisy Johnson aka Quake, and a gay guy can have two husbands.
Some pairing like Connor or even Peter's were due to one of his partners loosing their mate and finding what they lost in another. Yet Peter still didn't know where he stood with Mera but it would be up to her where they stood even if it just lovers.
Taking a sip of the last of his coffee Peter sense someone behind him and coming up next to him. Looking he saw his daughter Doris Curry leaning against the balcony. "Morning Dory." Said Peter smiling. "Morning dad." Said Doris like is was easy. Peter blinked. "Your sure you should call me dad?" Doris looked at him. "You are and been my dad for some time now and I know mom see you as her husband but to afraid of telling you publicly because of the feelings of her people." Peter nodded. "I told Mera before that if she just wants to be just lovers then I'm fine with that as long as I can help her. Due to her stress of leading the remaining Atlantans and place on the Olympian Council." Doris nodded. "I know that if there anyone capital of making my mom truly happy again it would be you. May and Valeria are the sisters I would ever wanted and their moms are great stepmoms. Just know you have my blessing and approval of marrying my mom."
Peter blinked then gave a small smile. "I'm glad you think so. But it would be up to your mom if our relationship moves forward no matter how long it takes her." Doris nodded in understanding. "Hope it doesn't take her to long and let a guy like you slip away. Now shall we make breakfast we have a busy day today." Peter also nodded and patted Doris back. "Good thinking. Mera, Mary Jane and Sue should get a breakfast in bed for a change."
Soon they were entering bedroom with a tray of food both human and Atlantian. Luckily Peter was learning how to cook better so the food were burned.
Soon they got ready for the day. After Peter kissed Mary Jane and got a kiss from Sue and Mera, he started heading towards the War Room that use to send teams to deal with problems that threaten. On his way through the mountain city Peter saw the other supers going around on their business. There were Amazons as well as regular humans and the demigods of both Camp Haft Blood and Jupiter dress in their new armor training in the arena.
Peter saw other couples working together or enjoying each other's company. Peter saw Percy Jackson sitting under a tree with a pregnant Hera on his lap while Annabeth was sitting next to Moon Girl looking over some plans for a new construction idea. He saw Jane Foster aka Lady Thor with her wife Amora the Enchantress talking with Hippolyta and a group of Amazon. The Johnny was next to him. "Got called to the War Room as well."
"How you and Lyja?" Asked Peter referring to Johnny new Skrull wife. "How you and Mera?" Johnny attempting to turn it around on Peter but didn't work by the stared Peter gave him. Sighing but smiling Johnny said. "Sue's going be a Aunt." Peter clasp his friend on the shoulder. "Congratulations bro. And about time to." Johnny slugged Peter arm. "Very funny."
They arrived at the War Room where he found Tony Stark with no grey in his beard still look strong even with his left leg replaced by a metal one. Ororo Munro aka Storm, Barbra Gordon aka Batgirl, Bruce Wayne aka Batman, Starfire and Steve Rogers.
"What the situation?" Asked Peter. "There are reported symbiote attacks in the Zoolands attacking the animals." Said Steve. "We need you, Barbra, Johnny, Storm and Starfire to go there and stop the killing." Peter nodded. Ever since the power went out captured Symbiotes were released from captivity and found new hosts. The Venom pack was one of a number things that plagued the world and if they were killing in the Zoolands then that was bad.
"You leave tomorrow morning." Said Batman. Peter looked at Ororo, Barbra and Kory. "I would sound like a idiot to ask if you three were ready." Both smiled. "Not as stupid as Jameson say you are." Said Ororo put a hand on the back of Peter head to scratch his hair playfully. There was a moment when the two were just focused on each other's eyes and Peter thought by how Storm's hand tightened on the back of his head that Ororo would pulled him to her. Then the moment passed. As Ororo removed her hand she trailed it along his cheek and Peter thought she was tempted to stop and hold his face but didn't.
The others were looking at the blushing two people. Then Steve said. "You should go get ready."
