Chapter 14- Picking up the pieces
Earth-1, Central City
The Sakaarans, Agents of ARGUS and all forces of Thanos that weren't the Chitauri or Outriders had surrendered.
The Chitauri had a hive mind, so Thanos' death caused them all to go down as well, while the Outriders actually routed in fear, but due to the combined might of Thor, Bill, Clark, Kara and Storm, they couldn't get too far and were all destroyed.
Right now, the Asgardians were actually working alongside the Jotuns and Demons, a sight no one had ever seen before and no one could ever believe.
The Jotuns were helping lock the surrendered enemies in ice cages as they were being carried away.
"Never thought I'd fight side by side with a giant", Balder remarked to Sif, who simply watched the scene with a smirk.
Odinson stood on the top of a destroyed building and looked down at the dense mass of the bodies that were being cleared up as the sunlight of the setting sun through the smoke and dense clouds illuminated him in heavenly glow, making him look like a King in the moment, which he was worthy of being once more as all watched him in awe.
He then heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Magni approach and embrace as this time, Odinson embraced him back lovingly before getting on his knee and holding his face in his hands.
He then said regretfully. "I was not the father you deserved. The father your mother expected of me. No more. It is time I embrace my duty, all of them."
He then saw Mjolnir in his son's hand and said. "A fitting companion for a God."
Magni held it up for him to take but he held up Stormbreaker and said. "I have my weapon. Now you have yours."
There was a beaming smile on his son's face as Odinson patted his head.
"So I'm a man now, like you", Magni said.
"No", Odinson said quickly, grasping Magni by the shoulders and looking straight into his eyes. "We are not men. We are more than that. The responsibility is far greater. And you must be better than me. Understand?"
Magni nodded.
"Say it."
"I will be better."
Odinson breathed out a sigh of relief. He raised Magni's hand holding Mjolnir.
"The power of this weapon, of any weapon, comes from here," he pointed to Magni's heart, then touched his forehead, "but only when tempered by this. By the discipline, the self-control of the one who wields it. That is where the true strength of a warrior lies. You must never forget that."
Later, S.T.A.R. Labs
"Thank you", Barry said gratefully to Storm, Adrian and Miguel. "All of you."
"This world owes you a lot", Oliver said gratefully to them. "A debt that can never be repaid."
"Well, it's my world, too", Storm shrugged.
"Webbing up bad guys is kind of our thing", Miguel said with a nod.
"Your thing", Adrian said. "My thing is shooting them."
"No, it's annoying them till they kill themselves", Storm said, making all chuckle before she said. "And no need to thank us. People like us, we always look out for each other."
"There have been many casualties in this", Adrian sighed. "But I hope all are in a better place now."
"Yes, I hope so too", Oliver said sadly.
Deciding to change the somber topic, Barry said. "Well, if you ever need us to do any punching over on Earth-X - just let us know."
"Will do", Miguel said as he shook everyone's hands. "Take care."
"Take care, you all", Oliver said.
"Oliver", Adrian said as he walked up to him. "I need a hug."
"Uh, okay", Oliver said as the two hugged, a slightly awkward expression on Oliver's face, making Barry snicker.
"Be good, Adrian", Oliver said as he walked away.
"Always", Adrian said.
"And liberate your world", Barry said.
"We sure will", Storm said.
"You got this?" Oliver asked Cisco.
"Yeah", Cisco said as he stood up."All right, fellas. You ready to go home?"
"Sure", Adrian said before asking. "So, uh, how does this thing work?"
"Ah, it's a very complex two-part process. One, I open a breach. Two, you walk through it", Cisco explained sarcastically before tapping Adrian on the shoulder.
"Cool", Adrian said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"The science behind the process is definitely very intriguing, I admit", Miguel said.
Cisco then opened a breach as Storm, Adrian and Miguel walked through it, waving to them all as Cisco closed it.
Later
Lyla was sitting over Dig's body, controlling her emotions as she asked Oliver. "Did he suffer?"
"I don't think he did", Oliver said, trying to control himself. "I'm sorry."
"You couldn't have done anything", Lyla said before finally breaking down as Oliver hugged her, trying to comfort her.
Thor was watching Kara interact with Magni when Odinson walked up to him.
"What will you do now?" Thor asked him.
Odinson looked at Thor and said. "The time for kings has passed. The God who desired such things is gone. Now, it is a time for peace. A peace where foes become friends and strengthen each under with new bonds of Fellowship. I will ensure such a peace lasts. And when I am not being a peacekeeper, I will be the father that Magni deserves."
Odinson and Thor clasped forearms and said goodbye as the latter said. "I wish you luck...Allfather."
Odinson straightened up but a very slight tug on his lips occured, making a barely there smile but still a smile in Thor's book.
"So", Oliver asked Laurel. "You'll work on it?"
"Yeah", Laurel nodded. "Actually, I'm getting on it right away."
"Thank you", Oliver said as she nodded and walked off.
"What's the matter, husband?" Nyssa asked Oliver.
"Zoe", Oliver said. "With her father gone, I am doing what I think is best."
"You are adopting her?" Nyssa asked and he nodded. "I think it is noble and kind."
"Thank you", Oliver said before his face turned to one of sadness. "I need to call Donna and tell her of her daughter's death."
"Good luck", Nyssa said and he nodded before walking off to call her.
Next day, Earth-38, Egypt
Courtney walked, carrying Carter's helmet, mace and harness in her hands with a grim expression as behind her Thor, Clark, Kara, Lois, Ollie and Fate carried Carter's coffin as pallbearers, and behind them Oliver, Barry, Odinson, Magni, J'onn, Logan, Blaze, Chloe, Alex, Bart, Victor, Dinah and AC walked too.
They lowered his coffin onto its place before Courtney kept the helmet, mace and harness on top of it and they all stood there in silence as Dinah hugged Courtney who was clearly about to break down while Fate lowered his head in sadness.
Carter had been buried next to Shayera, and all hoped the two would find their way back to each other in their next life.
A week later
Thor and Kara were flying together when Thor said. "You know, what happened recently made me realize something?"
"What?" Kara asked.
"That I have been waiting too long to do this", Thor said as he straightened up and pulled out a beautifully engraved Asgardian Ring, making Kara's eyes widen in joy as he asked. "Kara Zor-El, will you marry me and be my wife?"
"Yes!" She said immediately with happy tears in her eyes as Thor happily slipped it on her finger and they kissed happily.
Same time, Universe-X, New Realm
Odinson had used the power of the Odinforce to unite all the Nine Realms into one now, and had taken up his duty as peacekeeper and protector, with Magni by his side.
"In any war, there are calms between storms."
Earth-1
Barry and Patty finally got married and kissed, this time in a more intimate ceremony as Oliver, Cisco, Caitlin, Harry and Joe watched and applauded happily.
"There will be days when we lose faith."
Quentin hugged the crying Donna, trying to comfort her over Felicity's loss.
"Days when our allies turn against us".
A statue of Thanos was pulled down, which his minions had originally put up in the place of the Statue of Liberty.
"But the day will never come when we forsake this universe, and its people."
Thor watched Space with Kara in his arms, both looking happy.
"Our races, united by a history long forgotten, and a future we shall face together."
Lex Luthor of Earth-X looked up at the skies, which now seemed brighter and more hopeful.
"I, am the Odinson, and never again shall I forget my duty. I, the Peacekeeper. I, the Allfather."
Niflheim
Hela was sitting on her throne when the soul of Thanos appeared before her.
"I am Thanos, the Mad Titan, Conqueror of Universe-X", he introduced himself arrogantly, making Hela roll her eyes. "I am here because Death is my gift for everything I have done for her."
Looking down on him, Hela said. "Death..is a blessing you do not deserve."
And with that, she blew an enchanted mist at him as Thanos' soul started fading away.
"No…" Thanos yelled, struggling to stay as he reached out to her. "I deserve it! I do! You shall pa-"
He was cut off as his soul was erased from existence too, leaving nothing of him behind.
Hela simply yawned. "That was so pathetic."
And that's the end of this chapter, and hope everything was enjoyed in this.
