Approaching the end
"Are they getting any better?" turning to Aranea as she approached with a look of worry, Angela sighed as she stood watching Ken who at the moment was kneeling beside the deceased form of Haylee Bells, another love interest of Ken's during his stay in College.
Sighing as Hope was beside Ken on the shore of the lake, the Celestials had given them space to mourn as SHIELD agents were on stand by for proper burial having contacted a distraught mother.
Ken and Hope had been together since the Sun rose not six hours ago.
"They haven't moved since, Ken had finally turned back after the Omnitrix finally repaired itself, I worry for them" rubbing her elbows, Aranea sighed as she moved to the duo, Venessa following behind her with a worried look.
Sitting beside Ken as Hope had her head on his shoulder, Ken looked to her once before hesitantly bringing her into an embrace, rubbing her head with his own, Ken stared at the Grave Marker before them with dry eyes.
Looking around as Venessa moved to sit on his lap, Venessa pulled Hope close with the witch smiling sadly as she curled up against Venessa and Ken, Aranea scooting in as well with Ken leaning down to kiss Venessa's head.
"It'll be alright dad, we'll help you and Mommy Hope" seeing the white haired beauty smile weakly, she pulled Venessa closer.
"Thank you, Venessa"
Looking over the lake, Ken closed his eyes with a tired hum, before he sighed.
"We'll have to move sometime, Hope… She'd want us to move on" looking to Hope as she stared at the grave for a moment, she sighed while standing up, holding Venessa in her arms, she turned to Ken as he stood up beside Aranea who smiled at her sadly, leaning against Ken as he held her.
The four stared at the marker before moving away, seeing Angela sighing in relief she followed them to the slope up where she hugged Ken and Hope firmly, looking between the two, she nodded to them before they left to where the Rust Bucket sat… with the Chariot looking worse for Wear.
Leaving Ken sighing at the sight.
"Welp, better get to work" smiling at the four, Venessa set a Hardhat on her species already hard shell, Aranea smiling at her daughter who gave a bright smile, with Hope smiling brightly.
"Oh you are too adorable!" with that she attacked Hope with motherly kisses and tickles, making Venessa call for out for help.
"Mom, DAD help!" smiling as she laughed against her powers, Ken brought them into a hug with Angela's wings hovering over them, staring lovingly at them before they went into hardware mode.
Stepping into the JL's meeting room, Batman had a frown as he stared at Zatanna, John Constantine and Dr Fate, beside them was a bald woman in monk attire though she had a look of knowing as she looked over those gathered for this meeting, Bruce sat down on his chair as Superman spoke.
"Everyone here, Good. Go on Zatanna" getting a nod from the magician as she stood, she gestured to the bald woman who stood up with a nod.
"Before we begin I must introduce you to the Leader to the Masters of the Mystic arts, the Ancient one, like myself and Constantine, we had sensed a fluctuation of the magical of the earth… Chaos magic to be precise" nodding to the Ancient one, the lady spoke with a knowing look.
"I had been keeping tabs and senses in tuned with Klarion and his actions since his discovery alongside Nabu, what Nabu and myself and no doubt every magical individual has sensed, was the death of a Primordial being of chaos" seeing the stunned looks of the League members, Shayera spoke.
"Someone on Earth is powerful enough to Kill someone of that power?" seeing her stunned look, Batman hummed gruffly, an odd feeling in his mind as he focused on The ancient one who nodded.
"Indeed, after I sensed the Death of Klarion I went searching for the cause… what I witnessed was a being filled with… self loathing and rage upon my arrival on the sideline, the power I sensed made Klarion's magic look like childsplay having summoned a Hurricane above" bringing up a summoning circle with a wave of her hand, she spoke with a look of worry.
"What I witnessed moments prior with the use of the eye of Agamotto… the cause was the death of the individual known as Haylee Bells… Murdered by the hands of Klarion" turning to the portal as the Ancient one reached for her head, a strand of white smoke clung to her index finger before she placed it within the portal… followed by the memory of Klarion's demise playing out with Batman narrowing his eyes at recognizing the man kneeling beside Ms Bells before being kicked away by Klarion.
"Humans, always so powerless when hurt by me" watching as Klarion stomped the ribcage with Flash clenching his fists at the disrespect. The memory was silent, before the memory exploded with a wail of anguish.
Stunning Zatanna as the man known as Loki became a mass of violent magic. She spoke.
"An Obscurus, an Obscurus killed Klarion?" turning to her horrified look, The ancient one shook her head.
"From what I sensed from this individual prior, he had no aura of magic within him until after his battle with Klarion" shaking his head with a scoff, Green lantern spoke.
'That wasn't a battle, it was a one sided slaughter" gesturing to the sight of Hatred ripping Klarion's throat out before eating the flesh, the sight made those not used to gore shiver.
Watching the portal fade away, Nabu spoke grimly.
"I would be worried with the death of Klarion, his power without a focus would go chaotic even more, mindless, more dangerous… but it has gone silent, untraceable… calm. An emotion I never have sensed from chaotic magic, but the connection I have with Klarion showed me this" frowning at the implication, Superman spoke.
"What does this entail, that we won't ever have to worry about Klarion resurfacing" seeing Nabu shake his head, he spoke with even more grim news.
"No… The force of chaos… has a new Master"
"A Master who at the moment is grieving a loss, and most likely will act on the side of Order instead of evil. I will move to make contact alongside mostly those who are also searching for this individual" standing up firmly, Batman spoke.
"We can't allow this man to remain free, for all we know he could turn against the law when he discovers just what he holds now" moving to leave, the Ancient One spoke knowingly.
"Whatever you plan to do, Mr Wayne… will cause more harm than good" seeing Batman stop with the others turning to him, he turned to her with a glare.
"And what makes you so sure he won't do it himself?"
Seeing her smile serenely, she spoke.
"His heart is surrounded by those who love him, plus the only time we must worry is about a… few more years into the future before we must worry" frowning at her out of the present look, she smiled.
"He already has the backing of several planets he has freed from Vilgax the conqueror, to isolate and imprison him will cause them to take up arms against you to free they're savior" seeing all eyes wide in surprise, Nabu spoke.
"It is true, I have spoken to the many lords of order from the cosmos, they're old followers have begun praising to them again ever since Vilgax had been ended" seeing Batman frown further, he spun with his cape billowing behind him.
Leaving the meeting one member short.
"What do you suggest we do in a worse case scenario regarding this… Loki?" seeing All eyes turn to The Ancient One, she smiled thankfully.
"Keep those he cares for safe, and he'll remain on the side of good"
"And the worse case?" turning to Shayera with eyes that stared through her, The Ancient One spoke.
"Then you will face the wrath of Omega or worse, Hatred. The two forms that in a word, grant him Godhood, one a race of god like beings who were present after the Big Bang, known as celestialsapians, and the ones known as Anodite's, a free-spirited race that travel the stars in search of adventure" seeing the frowns at her description, the Flash Spoke.
"Than why the hell did that Memory show such violence?" seeing her smile sadly, she spoke.
"Abandonment leaves a large ocean of rage" giving them looks, The Ancient one Bowed to nabu who in turn returned the gesture of respect, followed by Zatanna while Constantine gave a mere nod of his head, leaving the Ancient One smiling at him with a quirk of her lips.
"You may be cursed with a Bastard version of Immortality John Constantine, but that does not mean you will remain handsome the more you smoke" seeing him choke at her words, she left though a portal with a delicate laugh as the Portal closed behind her.
"I hate it when she says that shite" giving him a look, Constantine was looking at his teeth before he looked at all eyes on him.
"What?"
Seeing the world come to life before her after what could be counted as several hours, the sight of her mother and father in her sight made all panic subside with relief as Ken typed on the Keyboard with Nora looking to the Camera as it looked between Ken and her.
"Cortana, you ok?" seeing the camera move to Ken a she fixed wires together, her audio projector sparked to life slowly.
"I am fine, mom, a little banged up but I'll manage" seeing the relief on them both her scoped sight looked over the background.
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE CHARIOT!?"
"Language young lady" looking to Nora as she frowned, Ken looked away with a hidden smile while rubbing his chin.
"What, seriously what did I miss, the trailer looks like… we got toppled over, didn't we?"
"Yes"
