Finally, here we are, at the Crisis of Infinite Earths that has been built up to for ages in this series, from Story 4 that is 'Of Speedsters and Forces' at least, with one tease being dropped in Story 2 that is 'Heroes in Middle-earth'.
This is gonna be big, and better than what the CW did, but that's not really a high bar considering CW is mostly trash and their COIE was a culmination of all the trash, to create even more trash, especially since they disrespected the older and superior DC properties, like Smallville for example, to prop up the trash that is Arrowverse outside of Arrow Seasons 1, 2 and 5 and Flash Seasons 1 and 2.
But mine is gonna be an actual end of a series, the series that I began in 2019, and shall end with this, plus we got so many fandoms involved- J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium, Marvel Cinematic Universe, X-Men Movie Series, Buffyverse, Smallville, Charmed 1998, Doctor Who, Firefly/Serenity, Terminator Movies, Merlin 2008, Deadpool, The Boys, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, The Vampire Diaries/The Originals, Constantine 2005, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Deadpool, Spider-Man Trilogy, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Blade Movie Series, The Amazing Spider-Man Series, DC Extended Universe, The Punisher 2004, Punisher: War Zone, Batman 1966, Batman 1989, Batman 2022, Titans 2018, Venom Movie Series, Superman Returns, Arrowverse, and some more.
Now not every single fandom out of these will play a huge role, but those that have been quite prominent in this series will play important roles for sure.
Was trying to find a good cover photo, couldn't find it, so I used Adobe to combine images of the more prominent fandoms, and in the image icon here, they all managed to show up, so that was awesome, YAY!
Thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer for all his help with the story too, couldn't have done it without him.
And thank you to Stand with Ward and Queen for his suggestions on this chapter, very much appreciated. And also thank you to Stand with Ward and Queen for this story's title too, much appreciated again.
So, enjoy it.
Chapter 1- The Calm Before The Storm
Steve Rogers and Kal-El of Earth-167 were sitting together in a bar on Earth-199999, having drinks as they downed one glass each.
"And then, I managed to push back Darkseid after taking my first flight", Kal was telling Steve, reminiscing about that moment. "The body of Earth-168 Lionel was gone, after that I put on the suit and flew up, pushed Apokolips back."
"Right, so that's how you pushed a planet", Steve realized, patting his friend's shoulder. "First great victory after first flight, am I right?"
"Yeah, you'd be right", Kal nodded.
"As for me, we were all just fighting Thanos, Morgoth and the rest, Mjolnir flew to Aragorn first when Saruman tried to kill Legolas", Steve told his friend, thinking back to that moment as well. "Then after that, it flew to me, because I was worthy too, both of us were, and we took on the bad guys together with it for a bit."
"Must be nice, being chosen by a weapon that only those worthy may wield", Kal said with a smirk.
"I try not to think of it, except as a duty", Steve told Kal, then they looked ahead, their faces, as they were talking of old days only to relive themselves of the stress of what was coming. "Two years. Two years since Thanos, and our world just kept on getting bigger."
"Never would have thought it'd come to this. A Crisis to end it all." Kal said with a sigh, remembering the Crisis he and his friends had faced a few years ago themselves.
"Feels like more than a hundred years since I got out of the ice, still can't believe we're here, after everything." Steve noted, shaking his head a little while looking at his empty glass.
"What will we do, Steve?" Kal asked, turning to face his friend and fellow leader of a superhero team.
"What we always do." Steve turned to Kal. "We fight."
"I think we will have to prepare the best we can", Kal said immediately. "Not the first time I've faced a Crisis like this though."
"What happened?" Steve inquired.
"It was a group known as the Monitors", Kal explained to Steve. "They wanted to end all of existence as a twisted way of maintaining order. They used this technology known as Bleed to destroy all Universes, destroyed Earth-168 too, that was next to ours, but after a hard battle, we managed to stop them from rebooting everything. One female Monitor remained but we sent her to the Phantom Zone."
"You think that Crisis and this one could be connected somehow?" Steve inquired. "I mean, Universes died then as well so-"
"Not sure, but I guess we'll have to find out soon enough", Kal realized. "All of this while preparing as well."
"I know, but considering what's coming, I think it'd be a good thing if we spend our time with our loved ones", Steve told Kal, patting his shoulder. "We do not know what may happen later, so I think we should stay with them."
"You're right, me and Lois should spend all the time together that we can before this starts", Kal agreed with a nod as he grasped Steve's shoulder. "While you should spend your time with Diana then."
"Was planning to do that", Steve said, leaning back in his chair for a bit. "And the rest of us as well, this is what we must do now. Prepare, and spend time with our loved ones. And not take stress because-"
"If we do that, we will only make it worse for ourselves, so be calm and prepare", Kal said, leaning back in his chair as well. "I guess we should go back to our worlds, and inform the others ones too one by one, while starting preparation."
"My thoughts exactly", Steve said as both of them stood up and embraced each other before parting, and nodded at each other with smiles, before turning around and walking off, out of the bar, where Kal opened a portal with his extrapolator.
"Bye Steve", he waved as he stepped into it.
"Bye Clark", Steve waved back, Kal going through the portal which then closed as Steve walked back to the Avengers Compound, deciding to get his breacher to go pay Diana a visit.
Tony was sitting with Pepper in their farmhouse as both cooed over baby Morgan, the former saying. "Man, I really thought Thor had lost it, but he made it through at the end of it all, fortunately."
"All of us have our Demons inside", Pepper said, rocking Morgan. "At least he managed to face his and take out two big threats, even if people died, sadly. And now there's something even worse coming soon enough." She sounded grim, looking at baby Morgan and clutching her close.
"Yeah, at least it took that", Tony muttered before looking at Morgan. "I'm done after this."
Pepper looked at him in surprise. "Like, done-done or-"
"Done-done", Tony confirmed, taking Morgan as he looked at her lovingly. He had his flaws but his daughter and Pepper brought out the best in him. "I haven't been able to rest so far, but after this….I think this would be it for me. We can rest together then."
"I'll wait", Pepper said, the two of them kissing each other before playing with Morgan.
Bucky and Natasha were in Middle-earth together, roaming Gondor together as she was showing him the sights properly, pointing to the White Tree. "That Tree came alive when the King returned."
"Now they got the greatest King", Bucky added with a smile from his end, looking around at the Citadel. "This place is very well-constructed, with all the levels and all that."
"We are glad the two of you like it", Boromir said to the both of them as he arrived, the two simply nodding at him.
"Well, just doing sightseeing here, as she never got the chance to show me this beautiful world", Bucky told Boromir, looking around.
"If you two need anything, you can call upon me", Boromir assured them.
"As long as you're not busy", Natasha added.
"For our friends, we are not", Boromir told her, before walking away, as Bucky noted why he was so close to Steve as well.
Steve really did make the best kind of friends wherever he went.
"You know, once this is all over, I want out", Natasha said to Bucky as he turned to face her, "of all of this."
"Like…" Bucky trailed off. "Stop?"
"Yeah, just stop", Natasha told him, stroking his face. "Both of us. We've fought whatever came our way for a long time now, and-"
"I agree", Bucky said to her surprise. "I too am tired, Nat. Have been for a long time now. I only fight because its necessary, to make up for something. But after meeting all those people whom I wronged and helping them, I think I have made up for it. So after this, we're done."
"Yeah, we are", Natasha nodded as they leaned in to each other and kissed lovingly.
Loki was sitting right at the edge of Asgardia, with Rebekah sitting on his lap, his arms around her waist and his chin upon shoulder as they shared loving glances every now and then.
"This feels amazing", Rebekah had to say, her hand glowing for a bit before the light faded. "And I'll never get tired of saying that."
"I'll never get tired of hearing you say that", Loki said, making her chuckle as they shared a kiss, before he spoke of something he'd never thought he would want. "So, I remember you also wanted a family, right?"
"Well….before I was an Original Vampire, yes", Rebekah confessed, her head resting on his chest now. "After that, too many things happened, and I was never sure if I'd ever get anything again."
"But now", Loki pointed out, "you have what you want. You're no longer an Original Vampire. You're an Asgardian now. So-"
"I did always dream", Rebekah confessed. "Just never thought it'd be a reality." They looked into each other's eyes. "Still, little ones like Hope, only mine, the thought is very intoxicating. In a good way that is." She imagined holding a baby in her arms. "I'd love the child with everything I am and everything I have. I'd give them everything-"
"As would I", Loki found himself saying, lost in the moment with Rebekah, making her look at him. "Huh?"
"Guess both of us wanted things but never thought them possible", Rebekah realized, the two sharing a look. "What would you call our child?"
"If it's a girl, Frigga", Loki confessed to her, and she knew why he'd do that, and smiled at him. "If it's a boy, perhaps Balder."
"You mean basically, we will have a Norse God who only exists in myths?" Rebekah asked, getting a nod as she chuckled. "I'd be honored to be Balder the Brave's mother. But I wanted Henrik to be honest."
"Well, we can always mix and match", Loki smiled at her.
Earth-29
Freya and Erik were walking together at Mystic Falls, holding hands as Freya looked at the spot where her family's house would have been back when they were children.
"You miss it?" He asked her.
"If I'd been here for it all, I would have", Freya sighed, looking down, then back up. "I do wish I was here though, with them, for all this time."
"I know how you feel", Erik said, his face grim as Freya rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know, only you can understand", she told him, both sharing a look, before looking at the spot again. "If only things were different before."
"If only indeed", Erik sighed, then pointed out. "But then we may not have met, you know?"
"Huh?" Freya realized he was right. "Guess sometimes bad is needed before the good then."
They held hands and continued walking.
Caroline was with Jo and Lizzie as they showed her drawings they'd made, the latter saying. "Look mommy, what we made for you."
Caroline looked at both their drawings, which depicted her marriage with Stefan, both showing her as 'mommy angel', and Alaric in the corner as 'daddy angel', while Stefan was called as 'uncle Stefan', and they both were part of the drawing too, with their names to depict them.
"You like it, mommy?" Jo asked.
"I love it", Caroline hugged both of them with a smile and happy tears. "I love both of you." She kissed their heads, hugging them close, before looking up at Alaric watching them happily.
She parted from them, gesturing to the children to go to Alaric, and they did, while she turned to see Stefan, as they held hands and went upstairs together.
"Those two girls are the sweetest", Stefan had to say to her.
"I know, I'm happy to have brought them into this world", Caroline told him, before looking into his eyes. "Just as happy as I am to have married you."
"Me too, Care, me too", Stefan said, both of them leaning in to kiss each other before Caroline kicked the door shut, and they started making love to each other.
Bonnie was performing on stage now, in front of a small crowd, playing the guitar and singing her song known as 'Wanna Say', which everyone seemed to love as well.
As it ended, everyone applauded for her, and she smiled, bowing, then looked at Enzo, who was clapping the loudest, both smiling at each other.
After it was done, the two walked off together, Bonnie carrying the guitar on her shoulder and holding Enzo's hand with her other one. "Well, it took off faster than intended, I've to say."
"That's what happens when you've a magical voice, luv", Enzo told her as they continued walking. "So, after this-"
"Well, I'm just hoping that we all survive what's coming, so assuming that, yep, gonna start recording the whole album within two months", Bonnie told him as they turned a little grim now.
"Yes, that which is coming", Enzo groaned. "We will survive it. We've survived a lot of stuff."
"Yeah, but something that is destroying the Multiverse, gonna be too much", Bonnie muttered. "Still, we have allies to help us at least, powerful friends."
"They are like a boon", Enzo said before telling her. "Now, let's not talk of this anymore until it really happens."
"I'd like that", Bonnie smiled, both of them kissing each other on the lips before continuing to walk.
Hope Mikaelson held the brush up as Klaus held his daughter's hand, helping her paint, both feeling happy to be with each other.
"So, where should it go?" Klaus asked her, wondering what she was trying to paint.
"Here", Hope pointed, and Klaus moved her hand gently, as they seemed to paint a circle.
From behind, Hayley watched, a smile on her face as she felt nothing but joy that her family was together and happy now, even if it was coming, they were happy and fulfilled until then.
Later, the three sat together at the table, eating dinner as Klaus told Hayley. "This is good, you cook well, little wolf."
"Thank you", Hayley smiled as they shared a little kiss before she looked down at Hope. "How does little Hope like it?"
"Its great, mommy", Hope said, and the little family of three continued eating.
Earth-92
Willow and Tara were in their room, the latter petting Miss Kitty Fantastico as the former said. "Reminds me of those old days. When we used to be in our dorm room-"
"With Miss Kitty, and play with her", Tara finished, cooing at her cat as she held her up, and Miss Kitty purred in affection too. "Feels like a lifetime ago."
Willow's face turned into a frown, because for Tara it was. Tara noticed her face and held her hand. "Sorry, didn't mean it like that."
"I know baby", Willow assured her, before smiling again. "I'm just happy we're together now, and we'll stay that way."
"I was planning to", Tara agreed, putting Miss Kitty down as she walked around the room, while Tara leaned over Willow and they shared a kiss on the lips. "I love you, Willow."
"I love you too, Tara", Willow said, then looked away before looking back up at her. "You know, while gay marriage is not yet legalized in our world, it is legalized on other Earths."
"Huh? Are you asking me to marry you?" Tara inquired.
"Well, yes, just us", Willow shrugged. "Private ceremony, you and me."
"When?"
"Well, this week's end maybe?"
"You got it, I'll definitely marry you, Willow Rosenberg", Tara said as they shared another loving kiss on the lips.
"And that will make me the happiest woman alive, Tara Maclay", Willow replied, both of them holding hands and staring at each other, waiting for the end of this week when they would finally marry each other.
Of course their souls were always bound, married or not.
Angel and Cordelia were on the beach, wearing swimwear, and sunglasses, in the daylight! Angel's daylight ring made things much easier of course, so now the two of them could spend time in daylight, and he could enjoy the sun very well.
"Feels great, doesn't it?" Cordelia asked.
"Yeah, and with you its even greater", Angel admitted to her, both of them looking at each other with smiles and kissing before looking back up.
"You've even gotten rid of all those handicaps. Now you can walk in sunlight, and no perfect happiness crap either", Cordelia had to say, Angel smirking.
"Might as well be the best day of my life, that one", Angel told her. "Got to walk in sunlight, lost the perfect happiness clause, and most importantly, I got you back."
"Yep, very happy to be back for sure", Cordelia smirked.
"Connor is coming to visit on the weekend", Angel then added from his end.
"We'll be welcoming him", Cordelia shrugged, both of them just happily basking in the sunlight.
Spike and Buffy were walking together in the daylight too, holding hands, the daylight ring being a good thing for Spike as well.
And since these were from other worlds, other Vampires did not know of these, so Spike and Angel were the only ones to have these without anyone else threatening them for the rings.
"Sunlight doesn't traumatize you, does it?" Buffy asked, and Spike chuckled, but noticed her face was serious. "Because of how you were…."
"That was my choice, Buffy", Spike reminded her. "Besides, it was like a hero's end for me."
"Still, has to be a bit traumatizing", Buffy pointed out.
"If I lose this", he lifted up his ring on the finger, "and then I'm in the sunlight, and start burning up, that'd make it traumatizing and give me flashbacks." He smiled at her. "Still, the concern is appreciated, luv."
"I know", Buffy said as both of them shared a kiss.
Earth-199999
Fitz and Simmons were in their little apartment that they had gotten after the Morgoth and Thanos mess, the former on his computer at the table and the latter on her tablet on the bed.
"There is literally no way to track this thing", Fitz finally said, groaning as he leaned back in his chair. "And I don't think any other Earths have it either."
"You know, Fitz, if we can't track it", Simmons started suggesting, "maybe we should just wait for it to come."
"But it'd be too late then!" Fitz snapped, and she got out of bed, holding him from behind and stroking his hair.
"We've Thor's warning, don't we?" She asked, and he didn't reply. "I'm pretty sure he and the rest of Asgardia are preparing too, and they will help everyone when the time comes."
"So…" Fitz trailed off, then let out a deep breath. "Right, you're right, you're right. I shouldn't take too much stress."
"Indeed", Simmons helped him stand and led him to the bed where they started kissing each other hungrily.
Bobbi and Hunter were in a restaurant together as the latter said. "Can't believe this is how it will now end."
"Threat after threat to the Multiverse came", Bobbi commented. "And we were part of the battles, always. Never thought it was all just a prelude to the end of everything."
"Does it have to be the end though?" Hunter then asked, looking at Bobbi meaningfully.
"Well", Bobbi thought about it. "All of the previous times did seem like the end as well. Morgoth and Thanos, Dormammu, Galactus, Grandmaster, and Knull, but we did make it out at the end of it."
"I think we'll make it out this time too, will be harder than all of the previous times, but we will", Hunter said, putting his hand on hers. "Together."
"Together", Bobbi agreed, both leaning in and kissing each other.
Scott and Hope were in their shrunken car, holding little Cassie, watching another movie together.
"I liked the previous one more, daddy", Cassie confessed to her father.
"In that case, next time, we'll watch it again", Scott said, and she cheered happily.
He turned to Hope and mouthed. 'There will be a next time.'
"I know", Hope said, the two sharing a kiss.
In England, Merlin and Lena were walking together, looking around at the sights.
"You know, I've wanted to see the Buckingham Palace, a lot", Lena said to him. "I think it'd be the same on this world, right?"
"Well, considering what's coming, we should have no qualms in fulfilling our wishes", Merlin shrugged, Lena smiling at him.
"Thank you, Merlin." She then added. "And let's not be scared of what's coming, right?"
"True", Merlin sighed, looking away, remembering what Kilgharrah had told him once, and now wondered if this was why Arthur had finally been brought back.
Either way, Merlin knew that Arthur would be playing an important role in what was to come, and this was probably his destiny.
Still, he and Lena, as well as Arthur and Guinevere, should at least have some fun until then, they'd deal with it when it came.
"Let's go to Buckingham Palace then", Merlin smiled, and Lena smiled back as the two kissed each other on the lips.
"Let's go", Lena said, the two of them disappearing.
Arthur was looking out of the window, at the city. "They're all so unaware of what is to come. Yet we are the ones who have to protect them when it comes."
"And I know you will", Guinevere said, wrapping her arms around him from behind. "You and Merlin, you two and the rest will beat it, I know it."
"That's the hope", Arthur told her, kissing her fingers one by one before shutting the window, and then he turned around, making out with Guinevere.
Oliver and Sara were together roaming the plains of Rohan in Middle-earth, enjoying the sights as Sara commented. "Couldn't see the sights of this place properly last time, what being carried by the Uruk-Hai and all that."
"Well, now here we are", Oliver said as they reached a wide plain full of hills and rocks. "I remember me, Steve, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli came here while looking for you, Boromir, Merry and Pippin back in the day."
"Guess you couldn't enjoy the sights either then, looking for us and all that", Sara noted.
"Yeah, too worried about you, as well as the others", Oliver had to say. "Especially since this is where we realized that Saruman is behind all of this."
"Damn!" Sara sighed, then turned to Oliver. "And now we're up against something even worse. The worst probably."
"And like every time, we will come out on top", Oliver assured her before frowning. "Huh? Aragorn, Steve, Earth-167 and Earth-96 Clarks, and Barry have rubbed off on me too much."
Sara chuckled. "I kind of like you this way."
"Then I'll stay like this", Oliver smiled before they kissed.
Earth-63
Amy Pond-Williams and Rory Williams walked out of their house to see the TARDIS materialize, and shared a smile as out walked The Doctor and River Song.
"Mother, father", Song hugged both her parents as they hugged her back.
"Raggedy Man", Amy greeted The Doctor, who waved at her, then Rory, before kissing both of them on the cheeks.
"Nice to be back here after a while", The Doctor told them.
Soon, they were all sitting down as Amy frowned in confusion. "Really? She looked and sounded like me?"
"Yes, just blue, alien and cyborg, mother", Song confirmed to her mother. "But Nebula was your doppelganger."
"Seems she had a hard life though", Rory said sadly, hearing of how Thanos had abused her as well as her sister Gamora.
"Indeed, but she came out strong at the end, and a good person", The Doctor pointed out, leaning back against his chair.
"And now….." Amy trailed off. "This, whatever this is, you say its supposed to end everything?"
"Seems like it", The Doctor sighed. "We're preparing though."
"Doing our best there", Song added. "But yeah, this will be the biggest thing any of us ever face."
"Guess all of us must face it together, like always", Rory realized. "And your new friends from the Multiverse? What about them?"
"Powerful and very kind", The Doctor said. "We can all rely on them for help too."
"Let's not get over reliant though", Amy pointed out from her own end. "Or we will get lax."
"Mother has a point", Song agreed. "All of us must rely on ourselves and each other."
"Now isn't that right?" The Doctor finally said, smiling at all three of them. "But at least we get to spend time together now, that's a good thing as well."
The other three couldn't disagree, all four of them together like the family they were, was the best thing for them all.
Earth-199999
Thor, Hercules, Bill, Logan, Aquaman and AC were having drinks together.
"So, the King of Asgard, Son of Zeus, a guy with Thor's power, two Kings of Atlantis and a Mutant walk into a bar", AC trailed off, "I'm waiting for someone to finish the joke."
That made all six of them laugh as Aquaman thought about it, then looked down. "Don't think I can finish it."
"If only Stark was here, he would have known how to finish this joke", Thor commented, getting chuckles again.
"Shall I bring him here then?" Bill inquired.
"No, let him spend his time with his wife and daughter", Logan put a hand on Bill's shoulder, and he stopped.
"Finishing this jest will be like a thirteenth labor for me", Hercules quipped, getting laughs from all of them again, but his face then turned slightly grim. "Though I believe I might just perform one when the Crisis comes."
"Indeed", Thor muttered. "Still trying to prepare and warn all."
"I mean, all of us together should be able to stop it", AC said, though he wasn't as confident as he sounded. "Right?"
"That's the hope", Aquaman simply said.
"Until it comes, my friends", Thor got up, finishing his drink finally. "I believe we should all go back to our homes and spend time with loved ones, of course this was fun too."
"You can bet on that, bub", Logan raised his drink as they all except Thor finished their drinks too.
Thor later flew back to Asgardia, finding Sif waiting for him.
"Nothing yet", Sif said, looking up at the empty night sky. "Of course that's under the assumption it strikes here first."
"I believe it will first strike weaker Universes, might even be ones we've never come into contact with", Thor had to say. "But eventually, it will be here."
"And we'll be ready", Sif said, she and Thor sharing a kiss.
"Yes, we'll be ready."
Logan knocked on the door and it was opened by Sarah, and her face said how happy she was to see him. Without saying a word, the two of them started kissing each other.
Outside, John and Terminator worked on another car before seeing the kissing, as Logan shut the door with his foot.
"Let's go out in the night in this car when we're done working on it", John said to Terminator.
"That sounds like the right option", Terminator agreed in his robotic tone.
Universe-502
In the Serenity Ship, in one room, Kaylee and Simon lay together, naked, covered only by the bedsheets, panting in exhaustion.
They looked at each other as Kaylee started. "Now that was-"
"Tiring?" Simon asked.
"I was gonna say amazing, but tiring too, yes", Kaylee agreed, climbing over his chest and laying her head on it. "Still, been a while, so I enjoyed it."
"I can say the same", Simon told her as they looked into each other's eyes. "So, anywhere you wanna go?"
"Thinking about it", Kaylee looked up, looking to be in thought, then looked back down. "Let's just go where the mission is, huh?"
"Well….sounds good", Simon finally shrugged.
Wash was flying the ship, Zoe sitting nearby next to him, both looking ahead as Wash said. "Thinking we'll dock for tonight, then pick up tomorrow."
"Yeah, sounds good", Zoe agreed. "If there is one."
"Come on, its not gonna come tomorrow", Wash told her in a reassuring tone. "I mean, that'd be too fast."
"Things like this don't warn", Zoe pointed out as she looked at him. "We're lucky we know of it, but that's it really."
Zoe knew Wash would have died if Nebula had not caught the spear meant for him, so having almost lost him, these things now rattled her more than they usually would have.
"Well, if we know of it, we shouldn't constantly live in fear, right?" Wash pointed out, looking into his wife's eyes, and that Zoe had to concede. "Let's just live like normal, when it comes, we'll deal with it."
Zoe looked down in thought, then looked back up at her husband. "I think I'd like that."
The two of them shared a kiss.
"Inara", Mal said as she turned to him. "Look, what's coming, I've no idea what's gonna happen to us-"
"So, what does that have to do with me?" Inara asked.
"Just…" Mal couldn't finish, then instead crashed his lips onto hers, and Inara felt compelled to return his kiss.
They parted, breathless, as Mal now finished, "…shut up and listen!"
"I'm listening", Inara said.
"I…" Mal actually felt frightened for once. Nothing frightened him, except this. "I love you, Inara. And I'm a gorram moron for not realizing it until now."
"Took you long enough", Inara smiled, kissing him on the lips again as he kissed back, then they parted. "Just remember not to call me a whore or anything, otherwise-"
"Got it", Mal assured her as they kissed again and started stripping each other.
Earth-199999
Marc and Faith were in another building as she asked him. "So, you bought this too?"
"Oh yeah, long time ago, and no one lives here", Marc shrugged, the two looking at each other with lust in their eyes. "So, what do you say we-"
"Yup", Faith nodded as she jumped into his arms, and they started kissing heavily, breaking the building while they were at it, which was the intention of course.
Cooper threw a ball as Nathaniel caught it, while Clint was teaching Lila some archery, with her aiming for the target. "So, you can see that?"
"Yeah."
Clint playfully covered half her face with her hair. "How about now?"
She chuckled as he let the hair go, and she fired, managing to get the target as he high-fived her. "Nice job, Hawkeye."
"So, who wants some hot dogs with mayo or mustard?" Laura's voice came.
"Who likes mayo on hot dogs?" Lila asked in a whisper.
"Your mom does", Clint muttered. "Mustard for us."
"Same here", Cooper called out.
"What about Nate?" Lila asked.
"How about ketchup?" Nathaniel inquired.
"Ketchup, right, we got some ketchup too", Laura said, as the five spent time with each other happily.
Yelena moaned, riding Adrian as they looked into each other's eyes, and finally, they reached their points of bliss, and she lay down next to him, both panting.
"Okay, that was….." Yelena trailed off. "Too good."
"Thank you", Adrian said, rubbing his face.
"Would be fun if we invited Chris as well", Yelena added with a naughty smirk, making Adrian's eyes widen.
"But….." He trailed off, remembering that time with Amber Calcaterra. "Never mind."
The door opened and Kate walked in, her eyes wide at what she was seeing. "Did you two just…."
"Well, what does it look like?" Yelena asked with a naughty smirk.
"This….." Kate gestured around, before pointing at the bed. "That's my bed!" Then she gestured to the whole room. "And this is my parents' house!"
"So, I'm pretty sure they used to do this stuff here too", Yelena shrugged, making Kate gasp.
"We're not gonna talk about that, or even think about that!" Kate snapped angrily. "I hate you two!"
"We love you", Yelena gave a flying kiss, and Kate scoffed before storming out, Yelena and Adrian sharing a look and chuckling.
Earth-72
Kal, Superman, Big Blue, Clark and Kent flew over the Earth, the people feeling hopeful on seeing them, as they waved to Billy, Becca and Ryan on the way, then went up into Space.
"Now that never gets old", Kent had to say.
"It's a good feeling", Clark agreed. "Bringing hope to everyone, making them happy."
"And all of us together, that works better I think", Big Blue commented.
"Yeah, you all up for doing this in my world sometime?" Superman requested.
"Would love to, not today though, but we will", Kal assured him, before the five parted ways back to their worlds.
Earth-96
Superman knocked at his son's door, as Jason looked up.
"Hey son", Superman smiled.
"Dad", Jason nodded, as Superman sat down next to him.
"What are you doing?" Superman inquired.
"Applying for an internship", Jason revealed to him.
"Maybe I could help with that", Superman offered. "I mean, as Chief of the Daily Planet-"
"No dad, I'll get this on my own merit", Jason said, looking into his father's eyes, which had pride in them.
"Very good, son. Very good."
Earth-93
Big Blue returned home, flying out of the portal as his son ran to him, and he lifted him up, before walking to Lois-93, both sharing a kiss.
"How was the flight?" Lois-93 asked.
"As well as you can imagine", Big Blue shrugged, both chuckling before walking into their home.
Earth-167
Ollie and Chloe walked out of the shower, having washed each other and made out in there, and now they got dressed up, still exchanging loving looks every now and then.
Baby Moira, who'd recently learnt to walk, bumped into Chloe's leg as she gasped, then lifted her daughter up. "Oops, sorry baby."
"You okay?" Ollie asked, stroking her head.
"Yes daddy."
"Good", Ollie smiled before seeing Jonathan watching TV ahead. "Let's watch with him, what do ya say?"
"Yeah, would be the best way to pass time", Chloe agreed, she and Ollie sharing a kiss before the two with baby Moira sat near Jonathan, all four of them watching TV now.
Lois leaned back in her chair, relaxing as Kal massaged her arms, causing her to moan in pleasure at the sensation. "Yeah, just there-"
"Here?" Kal got the right spot, and Lois sighed in pleasure again.
"Yeah, here it is, your hands are magic, Smallville", Lois muttered, eyes closed as she felt him massage her. "As is the rest of you."
"Thank you", Kal said, before Lois opened her eyes, Kal's face over hers, and he leaned down, kissing her on the lips, which she returned happily.
They parted, Lois asking. "Did you ever imagine we'd get here after that day I found you in the cornfield, naked?"
Kal chuckled, slightly blushing at that memory. "Not really, I couldn't stand you, or at least I thought I couldn't."
"For people who couldn't stand each other, we sure did talk a lot, even if it was to insult each other", Lois quipped, smiling fondly at the memories. "Maybe there was always something, what do you think?"
"I think there was, and our constant arguing was just foreplay and denial", Kal finally admitted what it really was. "So yeah, I always loved you, Lois."
"I always loved you too, Clark, doesn't hurt that first time I saw you, it was all of you", Lois said, causing both of them to snort. "And yeah, you're still like all of Smallville for me."
"Now here we are, facing another Crisis, worse than the last one", Kal said, both looking ahead. "But we'll be prepared for it."
"Yeah, we're gonna beat it, like always", Lois agreed as they shared another kiss.
Peter Maximoff and Bart Allen were running together, as the latter asked. "Hey, so, wanna try and cover the whole world this time?"
"Huh?" Maximoff looked to be in thought, then shrugged with a smirk. "Oh yeah, totally, let's take a round of the whole world and see how long it takes, eh?"
"You got it", Bart agreed, and the two sped away to take a round of the entire Earth-167.
Earth-38
In an expensive hotel Batman, Bruce, Wayne, Detective, Knight, Crusader and Bats were all sitting together in their civilian suits.
"So, how's it going?" Batman asked the rest of them.
"As well as you can imagine", Bruce shrugged.
"Well, found our Robin recently, from the Circus", Wayne revealed to them. "Had to talk him out of revenge."
"Guess some things are just constants", Knight noted.
"Yeah, like my Clark getting his own Kara too", Detective added. "And all of us being glum people with rich facades."
"I'm still trying to figure out how to put it up", Crusader said to the rest of them. "Any tips?"
"Oh yeah", Bruce put an arm around Crusader and looked around at the hotel. "This hotel is very expensive. I'm gonna buy it!"
Some of them actually managed to crack a chuckle at this.
Later, Earth-1
Bruce returned to his manor, finding Catwoman waiting for him with a sultry smirk. Without exchanging any words, they simply started kissing.
Earth-38
Batman sat in his apartment, petting Ace, as Terry arrived, arm-in-arm with Melanie Walker, his girlfriend after his fling with Yelena had gone nowhere.
"Hey Bruce", Terry waved, then introduced his girlfriend properly. "Meet Melanie."
"Hello Mr. Wayne", Melanie waved at Bruce as well.
"Its just Bruce, dear", Batman assured them, getting up and walking off as Ace followed. "This whole place is yours, just don't stay up too late."
The two were off as Melanie muttered to Terry. "Huh? He's better than I thought."
"Oh you've no idea", Terry told her as they kissed. "I'm pretty good myself."
"Can't wait to find out", Melanie said, and both of them started making out right there.
Earth-199999
Spider-Man, Peter, Parker, Miles, Miguel, Gwen, Spidey and Pavitr were in a bar together, in their civilian clothes, all of them sharing drinks.
"This is fun", Spider-Man finally said. "Can't believe I didn't try this before."
"After weird dreams, this gets even more fun, especially if you wanna see 'em again", Peter quipped with a chuckle.
"So", Miles turned to Gwen, gesturing to the dance floor. "Wanna dance?"
Gwen looked down, pretending to be in thought, then looked back up at Miles. "Sure."
The two walked to the dance floor, dancing happily and crazily.
"Don't they look happy?" Parker quipped as the rest shared a chuckle.
"Quite happy, yes", Miguel agreed. "Like they've never danced before."
That made them laugh more as Pavitr noted. "Dusshera is coming soon."
"What kind of festival is that?" Spidey inquired.
"Basically, the great Hero Lord Rama killed the evil Demon King Ravana and rescued his wife Sita from her on this occasion", Pavitr explained. "Can't wait to celebrate that."
"Are we invited?" Spider-Man asked jokingly, as they all chuckled.
A while later, the entire Spider-Clan, in their spider suits, swung together over New York City, all whooping and cheering, as soon, they were joined by Matt and Elektra too, who swung with them using the Billy club and a grapple rope respectively.
Frank watched from one rooftop and said. "Now they're having fun."
Earth-2002
Spider-Man returned home via breach, noting MJ had made dinner for them both. "MJ, you didn't have to do this."
"I think I did", MJ told him. "Come on, tell me how it is Tiger."
Spider-Man sat down, taking one bit. She hadn't been the best cook before, but she was improving. "Really good, thanks MJ."
And with that, the two had dinner together.
Earth-2012
Peter and Felicia leapt upon rooftops together as the latter said. "Think the coast is clear tonight."
"Huh?" Peter muttered. "Guess criminals at least take rest for one night then."
"Yeah, go take your senorita out on a date", Felicia told Peter, making him chuckle as she leapt off. "Bye Peter."
"Bye Felicia."
So, a while later, Betty waited for Peter outside her home, and he arrived, holding flowers. "Here, managed to keep them in one piece this time."
"Nice, much appreciated", Betty joked, both of them kissing before walking off on their date, arm-in-arm.
Earth-199999
Maria, Sharon, Yo-Yo and Melinda were sitting together in a bar, having drinks.
"You know, I think we should do this more sometime", Maria told the other three. "Girls' night out. SHIELD girls' night out."
"Sounds like fun to me, even if I'm not SHIELD anymore, but still, Agent, so Agent girls' night out", Sharon said from her end, getting chuckles from them.
"I would not mind it", Yo-Yo had to say, as they all looked at Melinda, who had a neutral expression right now.
Then she smirked. "Sure thing."
Jessica, Trish, Claire, Misty and Colleen sat together in Josie's Bar as well, all sharing drinks as Misty said. "Been a long while since it was just us ladies out here, ain't that right?"
"I think last time was when you got into a fight, and it was just you and me", Colleen reminded Misty.
"There was a fight and I wasn't here?" Jessica asked, eyes wide. "Well fuck!"
That got some chuckles out of the rest as Trish said. "Please don't pick a fight right now with anyone Jess, please."
"If you do, we won't be involved", Claire added, as all of them snickered again at that.
Middle-earth, Gondor, Minas Tirith
Faramir and Eowyn cooed over their son Elboron, who was walking now.
"It seemed like just yesterday, he was still only a newborn", Eowyn said, noting how fast time had passed. "Now look at him."
"Brother says he looks just like I used to back when I was this age", Faramir told her, patting his son's head as Elboron let out a cheer, then continued walking.
"You must have been quite beautiful then", Eowyn commented, making him smirk and chuckle.
"Am I still not?" Faramir then asked jokingly.
"I am still deciding", Eowyn looked ahead, making him chuckle again.
"I must say, you are beautiful though", Faramir told her, and both of them shared a kiss.
Aragorn and Arwen were walking back to their chambers from the throne room as Arwen said grimly. "Day by day, it keeps coming closer."
"I know", Aragorn nodded, his face grim as well. "But as our friends told us, it is not wise to live in constant fear of it either."
"That is true", Arwen agreed upon that as well. "It seems we will just have to wait it out."
"Waiting out it is", Aragorn sighed, hoping they would defeat this evil too like they had defeated Sauron, Morgoth, Thanos, Doomsday, Dormammu and Grandmaster. "We will face it when it comes."
"And defeat it", Arwen finished as they looked at each other and kissed lovingly while arriving at their bedchambers.
Earth-199999
Balthazar Blake and Veronica were showing Legolas and Gimli around, who'd managed to dress themselves up in modern clothes somehow, with Gimli finding stuff to barely fit him.
"Its quite tight", Gimli was saying, struggling to move as Legolas had to help him. "But I can move, not to worry."
"These clothes….they are quite strange", Legolas had to say as he looked at his sleeve. "How do the people even wear these?"
"It's a habit, they're in fashion everywhere in the modern world", Balthazar told him, one arm around Veronica. "So people grow up with 'em, ya know?"
"If you try them more, you might get more accustomed as well", Veronica added.
"No, I shall not try this again", Gimli shook his head to chuckles, while Legolas looked like he would not mind trying these clothes again, as he was an Elf and could fit himself into such things easier than a Dwarf could, fortunately.
Earth-1, Los Angeles
Lucifer stood outside the hospital room, trying to contain his senses, when the doctor came out. "Congratulations, you're a father to a baby boy now."
Lucifer smiled and kissed the doctor on the forehead. "Thank you, Doc."
He went into the room, where Decker lay, holding a beautiful baby boy in her arms, looking tired, but happy. Lucifer was next to her, looking into his son's eyes.
"Lucifer", Decker looked at him, then at the baby. "Meet Samael."
"Hello Samael", Lucifer held out a finger, stroking his face. "I'm daddy." He gestured to Decker. "And this is mommy."
Amenadiel and Linda Martin arrived as well, the latter holding their baby as Amenadiel looked down at Aurora. "He is so beautiful."
"I know", Decker said happily.
"Samael, meet Charlie", Linda held out her baby to Samael, as both of them let out cute sounds.
"Oh my God!" Wade Wilson suddenly appeared out of nowhere, in his suit, as he kissed Lucifer on the forehead. "You're a daddy now!" He looked down at Decker. "Hello, mommy!"
All groaned. While Wade was a friend, he could be very inappropriate and annoying too.
"That's because of you, Aragorn", Wade pointed at the screen, confusing the rest. "Yep, just you! Didn't even put me in the cover photo you jackass!"
Earth-98, San Francisco
Piper and Leo watched Wyatt walk about, studying from his little book, as Chris was sleeping, the two happy to be with their children.
"Leo", Piper said, making him turn to her. "You remember that restaurant I'd talked of opening?"
"Yeah, I remember that", Leo nodded.
"Its getting inaugurated next month", Piper revealed, making her husband's eyes widen. "Yes, really."
"Whoa!" Leo was amazed. "This is…this is amazing, Piper."
"I know", Piper nodded. "Figured could finally get that going, considering what's coming."
"We will just take on it when it comes", Leo said. "Until then-"
"Yeah", Piper agreed as they both kissed.
Earth-199999
"Do you, Willow Rosenberg, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Do you, Tara Maclay, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Then you two may kiss."
Willow and Tara kissed each other happily, dressed in beautiful wedding dresses, now feeling utterly blissful at having married each other as well.
Wanda was playing with her two children Billy and Tommy, as they ran around her at super speed, or more accurately Tommy held his brother and ran around, Billy saying. "Catch us, mommy!"
"Slow down and I will", Wanda joked.
"No we won't, mommy", Tommy added.
"Guess I'll have to put in some effort", Wanda said, when webbing shot out, making Tommy stop.
"Oops!" He said.
"Not fast enough", Parker said, walking in as the two children hugged their father. "Now we're missing one."
"I think I know", Wanda looked up, and they saw little Benny crawling up on the ceiling.
"Got me", Benny said, dropping down as he too joined his family in this happy moment.
Wanda's eyes opened as she sat up, looking around. Parker woke up next to her and asked. "What is it, Wanda?"
"I had a dream", Wanda confessed to him.
"Bad one?"
"No", she shook her head, smiling. "Good one." If this dream was true, they were going to get through this. It'd be hard, but they would. "Very good."
"Guess that's a good thing", Parker said, both of them kissing before going back to sleep again.
Steve and Diana were walking together in his neighborhood in Brooklyn again, and Diana told Steve. "You only bring me here when you have to say something really important."
"Yes, that's right, that's what I do", Steve confessed, and, to Diana's surprise, he got down on one knee, holding out a box with a beautiful ring inside. "When I woke up in this present day, I never thought I'd find love again. I made friends, close friends, but I could not fall in love. Then you came, beautiful, smiling, graceful, everything good with the world. And I realized, I did fall in love. With you. Princess Diana of Themyscira, will you marry me?"
With happy tears in her eyes, Diana nodded. "Yes, yes I will!"
Steve put his ring on her finger and got up, both of them kissing and getting lost into each other.
The Crisis may come, but right now, everyone was happy to be with those whom they loved.
And finally, the big first chapter is done, and it doesn't have action, just everyone spending time with their loved ones.
Tillow get married and Deckerstar have their baby boy too, which were both my favorite parts to write. And Amenadiel and Linda Martin are together, I liked them together, no idea why the show decided to break them up, stupid decision.
I know Lucifer and Decker had a baby girl in the show but I haven't reached that part yet and I read a nice, sweet fic where they'd a boy so I did that.
Steve proposes to Diana as well.
Now I didn't cover every single couple I liked, for example Barry/Caitlin and Banner/Betty were missed, but couldn't fit in everyone at the end of it.
Still, got the majority of them, fortunately, including my two favorite Tolkien couples that are Aragorn/Arwen and Faramir/Eowyn.
And Bonnie continues to sing Kat Graham songs to continue her career, LOL!
Wanda had an interesting dream, didn't she?
Yelena and Terry were meant to be a fling only, their endgame pairings were always supposed to be Adrian and Melanie respectively, and how the fling went will be covered in 'When Heroes live their lives'.
Also got to have Mal finally confess to Inara, LOL! And The Doctor, Song, Amy and Rory spend a happy family moment together.
This was the calm before the storm though, now after this, its gonna begin very soon.
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
