Alright, people. Here we go. The final chapter of Fall of Cicada.

I really want to thank you all for your continued support. This story got even more attention than I expected, which I'm really glad for. I hope you continue to read this series until the end.

Also, I wanted to address something. A number of you have left reviews for Coolrod regarding his reviews. Well, I guess both Coolrods, as someone apparently is impersonating Smallville-Coolrod to bash my dislike of Iris. While I appreciate you all standing up for me, some of you have taken it a bit too fat. I am especially disturbed by someone who told Coolrod to commit suicide. This is not okay, and as someone whose life has been affected by suicide, I really don't appreciate that. Feel free to stand up for me if you want, but please keep your reviews within reasonable boundaries.

Let's get to it.

UltraPhantom: Next story will be my Crisis on Earth-X story. The title I'm currently planning on is Avengers: Crisis on Earth-x. I know, not terribly original, but I think it works.

Green Hal37: Yes, I'm keeping the Nazi doppelgangers. I thought it was nice, because it felt like them getting to fight the dark sides of themselves. I will be including new Nazi characters, because since the Avengers will be in this, there needs to be more of a challenge. As for J'onn, I may actually have him join the Guardians at some point. Not the most likely, but not out of the realm of possibility.

Coolrod (the real one): You know, I'm skeptical about you not reading my story, as you seem to know a lot about it for someone who hasn't.

Coolrod (the fake one): Don't impersonate somebody just so you can try and set me on them. You didn't have to pretend to be him. You just wanted to. You're just a jerk. And if you think the real Coolrod shouldn't have harassed me over Smallville, then why are you harassing me over me not liking Iris? What's your deal, huh?

Chapter 8- New Beginnings

"So, Cicada is defeated. At last," Pietro says in relief.

"I was able to track down where Cicada has been, and using that, I was able to find out where she was keeping her younger self," Cisco says.

"I have already picked up young Grace Gibbons, and took her to Central City Hospital. She will be treated there, then placed into a foster home," Dr. Strange says.

"Thank you for all your help, Strange. We may not have been able to destroy that dagger and stop Cicada without your help," Steve says.

"It was my pleasure, Captain. As I said, Team Flash helped me stop Ilan, and you all helped to reverse the Decimation. You can call on my help anytime," Strange responds. He pauses for a moment then says, "But now, it's time for me to return to Earth-99."

"Of course. We won't hold you up," Cisco says. Strange nods in response, then turns around and opens a sling ring portal before walking through it. The portal then closes behind him.

The team stares after Dr. Strange for a few moments, then they all look at each other. "Well, Cicada's gone. What now?" Sam asks a little sarcastically.

"Oh, I'm sure there will be a new enemy soon enough. But, for now, I say we celebrate our victory, and relax," Pietro says. There are a couple of laughs from around the room, and many nods.

"Alright, everybody! Drinks are on me!" Cisco says.

(Two days later, Iris' loft)

Joe knocks on the door of Iris' loft. Ever since the breakup with Barry, she had kept the loft.

"Hey, baby. Are you home?" he calls through the door.

"Yeah. Come in, Dad," Iris calls back.

Joe opens the door and walks in. As soon as he sees what's going on, he stops short.

There are boxes piled up around the room, and Iris is in the middle of packing some items into another box. She looks up at Joe as he walks into the room, and the two just kind of look at each other for a moment.

After a few moments, Joe asks Iris in confusion, "Baby? What's going on?"

"I can't stay here, Dad. I can see now that I'm not gonna get Barry back, and there's too much tension for me here. If I'm gonna make progress in life, I need to get a fresh start. As of today, I've been transferred to Keystone City News by my request. I'll be leaving for Keystone in two days," Iris says.

Joe is quiet, then nods. "I understand, baby. I hope you're able to find what you're looking for," he says.

"Thanks, daddy," Iris says. She then walks forward and gives Joe a hug.

When the two separate, Joe says, "I'll come back and help you move out. And I hope you'll let me once you're settled in Keystone."

"Thanks, daddy. And I will," Iris responds.

(Three days later)

Joe walks up to Steve and Sam, both of whom are dressed in their new uniforms. It's been a day since he helped Iris move out of her apartment. He's been a little sad she left, but now, all he feels is excitement for what's about to happen.

"Alright, you two. Are you ready for this?" Joe asks.

"I think we've faced down far scarier than a swearing in ceremony," Sam says.

"Don't worry, Joe. We'll be fine," Steve says with a smile.

Joe chuckles a little bit, then says, "I'm really glad you'll be joining us today. I really look forward to working with you outside of Team Flash."

"So are we, Joe," Steve responds.

Right then, Singh walks around the corner. "Rogers. Wilson. Are you two ready?" he asks.

"Yes, Captain," Steve says, smiling slightly as he's more used to be called that than saying it to someone else.

"Alright, follow me," Singh says before turning and walking back out of the room. Steve and Sam follow Singh, while Joe slips out another way to join the crowd that will be watching.

Singh steps up to a podium in front of the reporters and members of the CCPD attending the ceremony. "Welcome to the Central City Police Department. Today, we are joined by our newest additions to the CCPD: Detectives Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson."

There is polite applause. Then, Singh says, "Detective Rogers and Detective Wilson, please step forward."

Steve and Sam step forward so that they're in front of Singh. Singh then raises his hand and say, "Repeat after me as you recite the oath."

Steve and Sam both raise their hands and follow Singh in reciting the oath of service.

When, they're done, Singh smiles as he hands each of them their detective's shield. "Detective Rogers and Detective Wilson, welcome to the CCPD."

There is a round of applause, and Steve and Sam both smile, glad to be able to be joining Joe and Clint in the CCPD.

(STAR Labs)

Pietro smiles as he races around the track in the Speed Lab. It's been a rather boring day, and he's been sticking to training the whole day.

"Pietro!"

The call catches his attention. He races out of the track, and sees Cisco waiting for him.

"Hey, Cisco. What's up?" Pietro asks.

"I've got a surprise for you, Come with me to the Cortex," Cisco says before walking out of the Speed Lab. Pietro, curious, follows him.

A minute later, they walk into the Cortex. Pietro immediately sees something covered in a sheet, and his curiosity is peaked. "What's that?" he asks pointing at it.

"This is your new suit," Cisco says with a grin before whipping the sheet off the mannequin beneath it, revealing the suit.

Pietro stares at the suit in amazement. It's a one piece suit, but without a cowl, like his last suit. The right arm, shoulder, and right side of his torso are colored light blue, with the left arm, shoulder, and left side of the torso in dark blue, along with the legs of the suit. His gloves and shoes are white, and a white lightning bolt runs down in between the light blue and dark blue sides of the torso. The look is completed by a dark blue mask.

Pietro walks up to it, running his hand over it. "Wow, Cisco. You really outdid yourself," he says.

"Thanks. I used some of the vibranium T'Challa gave me to make this suit, so it's bulletproof," Cisco says.

Pietro smiles brightly. "I love it," he says.

Cisco grins. Suddenly, an alarm begins to blare. Cisco is instantly at the computers, typing a few keys. Then, he says, "There's a fire in an apartment complex downtown."

Pietro smiles. "Well, then. I guess I'm going to get to take this out for a test spin," he says. He then quickly puts on his new suit before racing out of STAR Labs, laughing with joy, greatly enjoying his new suit, and the thrill of racing to help somebody.

(Allen farm)

Barry smiles as he cuddles Nora on the couch. He had been reading a book to her, and she had fallen asleep on his lap.

"Did you bore our daughter to sleep again, Barry?" Wanda asks as she walks into the living room, Stephen following behind her.

"No. Not this time," Barry says with a chuckle.

Wanda smiles as she sits down next to Barry. As she does, Barry says, "Honey, I had something I wanted to ask you about."

"Sure. What is it?" Wanda asks.

"I realized something today. According to the law here, we're not married. Our marriage may be recognized on Earth-99, but not here. It doesn't matter to me, as I know we're married. But I thought, if we wanted our marriage to be recognized here, we could get married again. It would be like renewing our vows. And this way, all our friends who missed our wedding can come," Barry says.

Wanda is quiet for a few moments, thinking about this. Then, she nods and says, "I like that idea."

Barry smiles, glad she likes it. "Great. And we don't have to do it soon. I was actually thinking we could do it next April, for our fourth anniversary," he suggests.

Wanda smiles. "I like the sound of that. Not too soon, and plenty of time to plan it," she says.

Barry smiles. "I love you, Wanda," he says. Wanda smiles back at him, and they both lean in for a kiss.

And, with that, this story comes to an end. I hope you liked this chapter.

So, Steve and Sam have officially joined the SCPD. I think they're gonna fit in pretty well, don't you think?

And Barry and Wanda have decided to get married on Earth-1. It's basically going to just be renewing their vows, and, like I said, make their marriage recognized on Earth-1. Obviously, that wedding will be the basis for my version of Crisis on Earth-x.

So, I do haver a few more things to say. But, of course, this is the MACU. We have t have a mid credits scene.

(2046, Iron Heights Prison)

In the execution hall at Iron Heights prison, Eobard Thawne is strapped into a machine meant to restrain him.

The head guard walks up right in front of him. "Guess this is it," he says.

"Looks like it, doesn't it," Thawne responds impassively.

The guard just chuckles, then says, "Oh, I almost forgot. I contacted the Flash museum. Had them send something over for today." He then holds up a chain necklace, around which is the ring containing Thawne's suit.

"I thought it should be buried for good. Along with you," he says as he hangs the necklace around Thawne's neck.

Suddenly, the guards' radioes crackle to life. "All guards! Something is happening! Be on your guard!" a voice calls over the radio.

The guards glance around, wondering what's going on. Then, white cracks began to from along just about everything in site, and some of the walls start to disintegrate in white light.

"What's going on?" one of the guards cries, but nobody has an answer. Panic begins to set in as the power goes off, presumably as the generators disintegrate.

Thawne starts to smirk. He then starts to vibrate, and to his delight, he phases out of the machine.

'Well done, Little Runners," he mutters. He then reaches up and pulls the necklace off, freeing the ring, which he slides onto his finger. He then raises his fist, and his suit flies out of the ring. Thawne races forward and into the suit, then speeds off as the prison starts to disintegrate around him. Thawne doesn't stop, and soon enough, a portal opens up ahead of him.

Thawne races right into the portal, and laughs out loud as the familiar sight of the Negative Speed Force surrounds him. At last, he is free.

And I'll end there.

So, at last, Thawne is free. And the whole disintegration is due to the Decimation being reversed, not due to the destruction of the dagger.

Now, I'm not sure when I next want to use Thawne. I'm still trying to figure that out, but I likely won't reveal my decision until a story where I use him.

Now, for now, when it comes to the MACU, I'm going to focus on finishing The Rise of the Master, and then I'll get on to my Crisis on Earth-X story. However, due to the fact I'm about to start finals in about a week, I may not update much until the week of Christmas. But, once the semester is over, I'll try and update as much as I can.

Well, thanks you all for your support. I will post an update to this story to announce my Crisis on Earth-X story once I get it up. Until then, leave a review and give me your final opinions on this story, and stay tuned!
