So here is the final chapter. Thank you to everyone who has supported this story. I know I kept you waiting a long time to see it continued but I hope the wait was worth it. And I do hope you enjoy this.

Ellie Bishop: Glad you enjoyed it. IKR? You wouldn't think Barry and Wanda would work, but ultimately, they just seem to click for some reason. Yeah, while I thought Tony got a great ending in Endgame, since he didn't die here, him retiring was a good way to end his character Arc.

Green Hal37: No kidding. Glad to hear it. The Compound is located near a lake. I left it up to interpretation. What does Barry having the Speed Force have to do with him touching the stone? None of the other guardians have it besides Wanda, so why should it affect Barry? You might be right on Clint. I hope so to. No, it is not Barry and Wanda's wedding.

Guest 2.0: Mack and Fury are very different. Fury was chosen because he was ruthless whereas Mack was selected due to being the moral center of SHIELD. Mack was also shown to be very different than Fury at the job, less manipulative and more trusting of his employees.

Guest 1: No.

Guest 2: Yeah, I blame that on being half asleep when I wrote that. It was supposed to be Avengers Tower, sorry about that.

Barton Farm, one year later

Morning

Clint was in his barn trying to start the tractor. However, all that came out was a hissing sound before it died, to Clint's frustration.

"It's dead Clint."

"Yeah, I know it's dead," Clint said annoyed as he climbed down. "Looks like I'll have to get a new tractor."

"Or you could have Tony come down to look at it, see if he can fix it."

"I am not having Tony come all the way down here just to fix the tractor!" Clint snapped before pausing. "You think Barry could convince Cisco to come take a look at it?"

Wanda's laugh answered him from the laptop on the work bench. They had been talking as Clint worked on the tractor before Clint tried to start it.

"I'll ask if Cisco has time," Wanda said amused as Clint made his way back over to the work bench.

"How are you doing kid, really?" Clint asked after a moment.

"You're as bad as Barry. I'm fine, we both are," Wanda said with a roll of her eyes. "Honestly, you two act like I'm dying!"

"We just worry," Clint said and she smiled.

"I know and I love you both for it. But I can take care of myself," Wanda said and Clint laughed.

"Yeah, I think I've figured that out by now," Clint said amused before frowning. "But still-"

"If I need anything, I'll call. You're just a twenty minute drive away," Wanda said with a roll of her eyes.

"I've said that a lot, huh?" Clint said a little embarrassed.

"Only fifty times. A week. For the last four months," Wanda said, trying not to burst out laughing at the chagrined look on Clint's face. "It's sweet that you care so much but I'm fine."

"Okay, okay, I get it, I'll try to be less of a helicopter," Clint raised his hands in defeat. "See you Saturday?"

"And miss Laura's famous sweet potato pie? Barry would never," Wanda joked and the pair laughed.

"I have to get cleaned up, taking Cooper to his baseball game," Clint said as he wiped his hands off on a rag.

"I wish him good luck from me," Wanda said and he nodded.

"Will do. See you Saturday," Clint said before the call was disconnected and Wanda's face vanished from the screen.

Making his way back inside his house, Clint found Laura in the kitchen, cleaning up breakfast. As he heard his children bickering in the living room, Clint only smiled. He had everything he ever wanted right here.

SHIELD prison

Same time

Slade walked down the hall, nodding to a nearby guard as he passed. Slade walked further down the wall until he reached a cell. Cell was a bit of an understatement. Rather than bars, the 'cell' had a glass wall while the inside had a cot and a shelf with some items like books. The occupant of the cell looked over at him, sneering.

"Joe," Slade greeted.

"That is not my name," Kane Wolfman sneered as he got to his feet.

This was going about as well as every time he'd visited. Following their meeting at the firework celebration, Mack had asked for his help in bringing Kane in. Slade had agreed, hoping he could help Kane see sense. Slade had gone in with a group of agents Mack had selected, stopping Kane and his group of mercenaries from taking out Kasnia's water supply. As SHIELD rounded up Kane's men, Mack had offered Slade a more permanent position as a SHIELD agent. Slade had accepted.

"I found your brother," Slade said, taking Kane back. "He has a nice life; he was adopted by a nice family. Just started high school. Looks a lot like you did before I was shot down over Lian Yu."

"So, you finally know I was lying," Kane noted and it was silent between them. "So what will you do now?"

"As I have done for the last year: hope that one day, you will find a better path, as I did," Slade said as he eyed his son sadly. "It's never too late to change son."

Kane scoffed before turning away. Slade stared at his son sadly before turning and walking away. It was time for him to meet Mack for the debriefing anyway.

San Francisco

Same time

In a church, a small crowd was gathered as a man in a tux and a woman in a white wedding dress stood across from each other on the altar before a minister.

"And do you Scott Lang take this woman to be your wife, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, until death do you part?"

"I do," Scott said as his bride smiled at him.

"And do you Hope Van Dyne take this man to be your husband, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad, until death do you part?"

"I do," Hope said with a beaming smile.

"Rings?"

Luis', Scott's best man, handed him the rings. Scott placed one on Hope's finger while she placed the other on his.

"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

The small crowd of witnesses cheered and clapped as Scott and Hope shared their first kiss as a married couple.

Central City

Afternoon

In the bar where he and Barry had gotten drinks after the Dominator Invasion, Oliver looked wistfully at the bar before turning to the six chairs placed in a circle near him. Hearing footsteps behind him, Oliver turned around as Barry walked into the room.

"Hey man. You look good," Barry said in greeting.

"So do you. Happy looks good on you my friend," Oliver said and Barry smiled.

"You to," Barry said as they each sat in one of the six chairs before they heard some footsteps.

"Hey guys," Caitlin said as she walked in.

"Hey," Barry said as Caitlin took one of the six seats and Roy and Thea walked in.

"Long time no see guys," Thea said as she and Roy took two of the seats, leaving only one empty.

"Where's Cisco?" Roy asked as he gestured to the sixth seat.

"He'll be here," Barry said with certainty.

Less than a second later, Cisco walked through the doors in a hurry.

"Sorry I'm late. Managing Star Labs is a lot more time consuming than I thought," Cisco said as he sat down in the sixth seat.

"From the sounds of it, you seem to be doing a good job turning it back into what it was before Thawne blew it all to Hell," Roy noted and Cisco shrugged.

"It was a different first few months but we're getting there. I must say though, after all those years off just being Team Flash, seeing Star Labs overrun with people again, it was an adjustment," Cisco said wistfully.

"Speaking of Team Flash how's Wally?" Barry asked and Cisco shrugged again.

"I don't see much of him to be honest. He's more of a lone wolf than you were. He seems to operate out of his apartment. Occasionally he'll come to me or Joe for help with something. But he's doing alright, you'd be proud," Cisco said.

A few miles away, a man was attempting to mug a couple when a send over and he found himself in the police station, handcuffed to the hall as Joe and soe other officers looked at him startled.

"Uh, I'm here to turn myself in?"

"So how are things going with you? I mean, you're an Avenger now. That must be exciting," Thea asked Caitlin.

"I'm actually on a mission right now," Caitlin revealed. "I love the work we do, it's not the same as Team Flash, but I love it."

"I'm glad. You seem…happier than when I saw you last," Barry noted.

"I feel happier," Caitlin admitted. "How's married life?"

"Good, really good. I would be lying if I said part of me didn't miss being the Flash but I gained a lot more than I lost. I'm happy, really happy, for the first time in I don't know how long," Barry said.

"That's great," Oliver said happy for his friend.

"So, big day in a few months. You ready for that?" Roy asked and Barry laughed.

"I don't know if anyone is ready for that. But I can honestly say I've never been more excited," Barry said with a beaming smile before looking at Roy and Thea. "What about you two? You're in Keystone City, what's that like?"

"Running a nightclub is less of a hassle," Thea said honestly causing everyone to laugh.

"She's got a point. I've fought on the streets, taken more beatings than I can count, lived a double life as a vigilante and I can honestly say I have never been this exhausted," Roy added.

"Amen to that," Oliver joked.

"How are things back home? I know things must be difficult after John, Felicity, Curtis and Dinah left," Thea said sympathetically.

"They all chose to move on after Thanos and Zod, just like all of us, the team just wasn't how they could it. It's not like it was with just Rene and Nyssa to back me up but I think maybe it's better that way. I realized once they were gone how much I'd come to rely on the team, maybe too much. The team is only as strong as their weakest link," Oliver said.

"Yeah, I guess that's a good point," Roy mused.

"So things are going good with Nyssa then?" Caitlin asked.

"Yeah, they are. It's not really like any relationship I've had before, but I'm happy," Oliver said with a smile.

"Good, you deserve it Ollie," Thea said with a matching smile.

Caitlin suddenly leaned back in her chair, seeming to look at something as the others all looked at her in confusion.

"As good as it is to see you all, I'm gonna have to go in a minute," Caitlin said apologetically.

"Yeah, I have to give a speech soon to," Oliver added.

"Hate to feel like we're piling on, but we need to go to," Thea said as she gestured to Roy and herself.

"So same time next year?" Roy offered.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Cisco shrugged.

"So we're making this a tradition?" Barry asked sounding pleased.

"I think we'd all like that. After everything we've been through together-" Oliver started.

"Mood changing Metahumans," Barry said.

"Evil speedsters," Cisco added.

"Boomerang wielding psychos," Roy continued.

"Aliens and immortal warlords," Thea picked up.

"Time travel," Caitlin finished.

"It would be a shame to lose touch. Like I said a long time ago, I wish it wasn't only the bad times that brought us together," Oliver said.

"As long as we hold each other in our hearts, the bonds we forged will never break," Barry said with certainly.

"Hope you're right buddy," Cisco said with a smile.

"Well, see you all next year," Caitlin said.

Caitlin reached up and touched the side of her head, seeming to remove something before her image fizzled out.

Quinjet

Same time

Caitlin lowered the device in her hand into the pocket as she got to her feet. In the cockpit, Sam and Bucky were bickering as Sam flew the Quinjet.

"How far are we from the drop zone?" Caitlin asked.

"We should be coming up on it soon. You ready?" Sam asked.

In response, Caitlin's hair turned icy blond and her skin paled as her eyed glowed white.

"We were born ready," Frost said confidently.

"Good, cause we're here," Bucky said as Sam lowered the ramp, air blowing through Frost's hair.

"I'll head down, you two do your job," Frost said before jumping out of the Quinjet, using her powers to create an ice bridge to glide down.

Central City

"These devices Star Labs created are impressive Cisco. What do you call them again?" Oliver asked.

"Holo Disks. Just create an Avatar, put in the location, and slap it on your head. An idiot could do it," Cisco shrugged.

"I will try not to take that personally," Oliver said amused as they all laughed.

"Like Thea said, we better go, we have to keep the troops in line," Roy explained.

"I now have a new appreciation of what you went through while trying to lead us," Thea joked and Oliver chuckled. "Let William know his gift should arrive before his birthday next week."

"Just tell me it's not a bow," Oliver said and Roy and Thea were silent "…it's a bow, isn't it?"

"He's the son of the Green Arrow, he's gonna have to learn eventually Oliver," Roy pointed out.

"Tell that to Samantha," Oliver said with a sigh.

"You two will work it out Ollie," Thea said confidently.

"I wish I shared your confidence Speedy," Oliver grumbled. "I'll talk to you next week. And if you two ever need anything, I'm just a phone call away."

"That goes both ways," Roy said and Oliver nodded.

"See ya bro," Thea said before reaching up, removing the Holo Disk from the side of her head, her image fizzling out.

"I'll send you the list of my old contacts later," Roy promised and Oliver nodded.

"Thank you Roy," Oliver said gratefully.

"Just hope it's some help," Roy said before following his girlfriend's lead, his image fizzling out.

Keystone City

Same time

Roy pocketed the Holo Disk as he and Thea walked down the hall.

"We're gonna be late," Thea pointed out.

"You're gonna be late. I'm the leader, I can show up whenever I want," Roy joked.

Thea laughed as they opened the door to a kind of gym. Three people were waiting for them. One was a boy who seemed to have a skin condition that made his skin green, along with his hair. Next to him was a dark haired girl wearing a cloak. And next to her was an African-American young man who seemed to be more machine than man.

"Titans!" Roy shouted as he and Thea entered the room. "Let's get to work."

Central City

Same time

"So, that's it then," Cisco said as he faced Oliver and Barry.

"For now. Who knows, we may all be brought back together again someday," Oliver noted.

"Hopefully without the world ending again," Barry said and the three laughed.

"Did you get my package?" Cisco asked Barry, who grinned.

"Standing right in front of it. Wanda thinks it's cute," Barry said with a laugh.

"I aim to please," Cisco joked before frowning. "You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine Cisco. For the first time, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Outside being the Flash, I never had that before," Barry said and Cisco eyed his best friend for a minute before nodding.

"Okay. Well, I need to get going. Like I said, running Star Labs as a business is a lot harder than running Team Flash," Cisco said as he got to his feet. "Keep in touch boys."

Cisco then removed the Holo Disk from his head, his image fizzling out like the others.

Star Labs

Same time

Cisco turned around to face two of his employees, handing one the Holo Disk before looking at the other.

"Alright, tell me what my schedule is like," Cisco said, getting back to business.

Central City

Same time

"You ever think we'd end up here back when we first met?" Barry asked Oliver curiously.

"Not in a million years," Oliver said bluntly and they laughed. "I still remember the day we met."

"You were a dick," Barry said and Oliver rolled his eyes good naturedly.

"And you were like an excited puppy," Oliver noted and Barry shrugged. "We've both changed a lot since then."

"Five years is a long time, you should know that better than anyone," Barry noted and Oliver nodded.

"I do. You've come a long way since the guy who showed up in my company's building. You've got everything you ever wanted," Oliver said wistfully.

"You don't?" Barry said as he caught the tone.

"Not sure yet," Oliver admitted. "But I'm happy. Happier than I've been since…I don't know."

"Well then what more do you need?" Barry asked and Oliver chuckled.

"You have an odd way of looking at things. For someone who's seen so much pain and death, you always seem to look on the bright side of things," Oliver said, marveling at it.

"We have to take the good we have when we have it," Barry said simply.

"Good luck Barry," Oliver said with a smile.

"You to Ollie," Barry said, retuning the smile.

Oliver removed the Holo Disk from his head, his image fizzling out. Barry took a moment to look around, to take it all in, before he followed suit.

Missouri

Same time

In a two bedroom house, Barry pocketed the Holo Disk as he picked up Cisco's gift, a Flash themed Teddy Bear.

"Are the okay?"

"Yeah, yeah they're great," Barry said as he turned to face his wife.

She seemed to grow more beautiful every day, Barry thought to himself as he watched her read a book. Suddenly, she started.

"What's wrong?" Barry asked urgently as he rushed to her side.

"Nothing, nothing's wrong. She's just kicking," Wanda said as she looked down at swollen stomach. "She also has her father's energy."

Barry relaxed slightly, relieved nothing was wrong. Since Wanda had discovered she was pregnant shortly after they moved in here, it had been trying on both as they prepared. Barry had gotten a job as a CSI instructor, which brought in some money while Wanda was planning to take some online courses once the baby came. It was taxing, but they were making it work.

"She also seems like a fighter, just like her mother," Barry said.

With a smile, Wanda kissed him. As he felt Wanda's ring hand in his, Barry felt completely content. As he had said earlier, he was exactly where he was supposed to be.

Star City

Same time

"So everything's good?" Quentin asked Oliver as they met in his office.

"Everything's fine, barring Thea and Roy sending William a bow for his birthday," Oliver assured him.

"Boy you live a complicated life," Quentin deadpanned as Rene entered the office.

"Are you ready?" Rene asked and Oliver gave his new chief of staff a look.

"This isn't my first speech Rene," Oliver said as he walked out.

With Quentin and Rene behind him, Oliver took the podium. Seeing Nyssa, Samantha and William in the crowd, he gathered his thoughts before beginning.

"A year ago today, things were looking pretty bleak. The anniversary of the Decimation had just passed. And then, a miracle happened: Those we had lost returned to us," Oliver said, the media recording his speech. "Our heroes had united to undo what had been done. They knew we could not go on living like this. That we deserved better than to be haunted by the loss of our children."

At Stark Cabin, Tony held out his hand as Morgan toddled over to him.

"Our friends."

At Harvard University, in a classroom, Bruce stood back as Thor gave a lecture to his class on the how space travel actually worked.

"To be haunted by the loss of those we love."

In France, on their vacation, Steve and Natasha sat at a café, enjoying some time off as they talked.

"They knew that this was not the kind of life anyone deserved. So they chose to unite and risk everything to undo it. Some of them even made the ultimate sacrifice in order to ensure it would never happen again," Oliver said as he thought of Barry sacrificing his powers. "None of them could have done it alone. They understood that divided, we would fall. It was only when they stood united that they were able to succeed. We can all learn something from our heroes. When we stand united, there is nothing we can't accomplish. We may have our differences, but our greatest test is if we are able to put aside those differences in order to accomplish something great. Only then will we know if our heroes did us a favor or wasted our time."

As the crowd clapped, Oliver thought to himself that the old saying was true. Divided they would fall, but united they would stand against any threat.

And that's it; hope you all enjoyed the final chapter.

While I originally loved Slade's ending in season six, bringing back Joe and Grant later on ruined it and his status post Crisis is nothing short of confusing. Slade becoming a SHIELD agent to atone for his sins is a better ending for him IMO.

When you actually stop to think about it, Grant Wilson's appearance in season eight of Arrow makes little sense. The 6x05 flashbacks take place thirteen years prior to the present day events of that episode. And since Slade had no idea he had another son, Grant would have been born sometime after Slade was marooned on Lian Yu. Depending on the time of conception, Grant would have been either 15 or 16 by the time of season eight, not a full grown man.

Following FitzSImmons and Matt/Elektra, Scott/Hope is my favorite canon MCU ship. It was just something in the background in Antman, but Antman and the Wasp really made you care about it. I thought they deserved a happy ending, s I gave them one.

The scene with Oliver, Barry, Caitlin, Cisco, Roy and Thea in the bar was inspired by the series finale of Agents of SHIELD.

Hope I did okay on Oliver's speech.
