The Avengers and the Justice League stood in Central Park.

"Hey Superman!" Bart greeted his friend, using the name the Newspapers had come up for him. Clark, wearing a new costume smiled at his friend. Thor, who was still injured approached with Loki, who was handcuffed and muzzled, to a blocked area. Thor nodded and smiled at his team. Tony opened a briefcase to reveal the Tesseract. Banner took it out and placed it inside a glass tube, held by Thor. Thor gave Loki the other end, who reluctantly took it. An energy beam shot out from the sky and the Asgardians leapt into it. Then, one-by-one, the group splintered off, strolling into different directions. The Justice League headed off together. Banner climbed with Tony into a brand new sports car. Steve rode away on his Harley and Natasha and Clint climbed into SHIELD cars.

"You sure you don't want a lift?" Natasha asked.

"I'll be fine," Clark replied with a smile. Clark waved them off as the drove away. Once everyone was gone he looked up at the sky and with a smile launched himself up into the air. They all parted. For now.

Fury faced once more the members of the World Security Council.

"Where are the Avengers?" One of the council members asked.

"I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence," Fury replied.

"And the Tesseract?" Another member asked.

"The Tesseract is where it belongs: out of our reach."

"That's not your call," the third member argued.

"I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the god that did."

"So you let him take it and the war criminal, Loki, who should be answering for his crimes?

"Oh, I think he will be."

"I don't think you understand what you've started. Letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous."

"They surely are. And the whole world knows it. Every world knows it."

"Was that the point of all this? A statement?"

"A promise." With that Fury walked out.

On the bridge of the Hellicarier Fury and Agent Hill walked together, towards the window looking out onto the world.

"Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways, some extremely far. We get into a situation like this again, what happens then?" Hill asked.

"They'll come back."

"You really sure about that?"

"I am."

"Why?"

"Because we'll need them to." Agent Hill turned around and walked away from the window, missing the red and blur blur fly through the sky. Fury simply smiled knowingly.

Authors Note:

So this was just a short little rap up of things. Even though it's only short I thought it'd be better to separate it from the last chapter.

I've decided to do a Smallville and Age of Ultron crossover as a sequel to this, although it probably won't be for a while. However, I know a lot of people had complaints about Age of Ultron and so if there's anything you want me to change, or add in or take out just leave a comment and I'll take it into consideration. I already have some ideas on how I'm going to change it but would love all your ideas.

Another note, this most likely will not be the last chapter in this story. There's a chance I'll post more, but don't expect them to be very frequent.

And now to answer some questions.

To mmat, I left out Wonder Woman and Green Lantern because I already had a lot of characters added into the story and didn't want it to get overcrowded. There was enough going on as it was, I felt.

To spiderman1fan, as for which Batman I'm using. Honestly, I didn't think about it that much. He was in it so briefly that I didn't really think about it. I'd love to hear what Batman you or anyone else thinks I should use though.
