Hi everyone how's it going?
Here's my third entry into this series and this time it's the fathers who'll be celebrated and for Father's Day. I hope you'll all enjoy. And the number of each parent's children and their names are the same as within the previous entries of this series.

Setting: Central City
Location: Hall Of Justice
A significant number of prominent men were currently gathered together outside of the Hall Of Justice. These aforementioned men consisted of the following:

They also shared the role of fatherhood in common.
Sometime that afternoon they'd each been sent a signal summoning them for an important gathering at the Earth Prime Hall Of Justice. But without providing further details. The heroes were extremely curious as to what was transpiring but decided it was prudent they heed the summons and then proceed from there. Leading them to where they were currently positioned.
"What do you reckon mates? Another multiversal threat or some end of the world scenario?" Killian questioned his friends present and speculated.
Jim shrugged.
"I'm not sure but I am certain that we wouldn't be called from our worlds if it wasn't imperative," he replied with surety and following his initial shrug.
"Either way but let's just go inside and find out instead of standing around trying to figure it out," Angel suggested and gestures towards the entrance.
The others agreed and together the group proceeded forwards and entered the building before advancing towards the main room. Once they arrived they suddenly heard a resounding "SURPRISE" emanating around them.

Just like during the preceding Mothers Day gathering there was a banner hung above the room but this time with the words "HAPPY FATHERS DAY" written in bold. Along with some floating balloons throughout the room. Balloons which also had "HAPPY FATHERS DAY" inscribed upon them.
The table before them had an assortment of dishes. Dishes which included steak dinners, beef enchiladas, nachos, bacon and eggs, pork chops, classic chicken pot pie, lasagna, baked potatoes, grilled vegetables, steaming hot rolls, soft beer for the men, red and white wine plus juice for the women, non alcoholic wine, juice, and soda for the teens, juice and soda for the young children and and also the teens, and lemonade plus iced tea for everyone. Meals and drinks provided by Lena's chefs once more. But with her insisting to the families that they relax and allow said chefs to prepare everything.
Some of those present such as the new and younger JSA, the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students, the Drew Crew, and the Scooby Gang among others had been unable to attend the Mothers Day Gathering due to prior commitments, being on missions, and other things. But thankfully many of them were able to attend this gathering. And while there were yet others still not present like the Fantastic 4, the one whose member Susan Storm resembled Fourth Waller Jessica Alba, and the Defenders for example and for one reason or another it was still a pretty sizable gathering.
The fathers were floored at this unexpected surprise. Yet they managed to recover quickly and moving forward enveloped their respective children and partners into their arms.
"This is amazing. Thanks hon and you as well guys," Jim complemented his wife and their children.
"It was a team effort actually. We all put this together for all of you guys," Stephanie replied and revealed to him.
"What mom said. Daphne and I were a part of the cooking as well," his son J.J. added while the latter's aforementioned sister nodded in confirmation.
"Happy Fathers Day dad," she wished him warmly.
"Yeah pops. Happy Fathers Day to you," J.J. also voiced. Both of his children beaming up at him.
"Thanks a whole lot. And to all of you," Jim emotionally responded to them and added to everyone else with a nod of gratitude.
In another area Jaina and Jacen were greeting Luke.
"Happy Fathers Day dad," the Skywalker twins took turns saying to their father while embracing him in a group hug.
"Thank you both and of the Force ordains it we'll experience even more Fathers Days together in the future," the Jedi Master smiled and stated with conviction. He then disentangled himself from their embrace and pulled his wife towards himself. Pressing his lips against hers in a gentle kiss which Mara reciprocated.
Jin Shen meanwhile had his arms wrapped around the shoulders of his son and 2 daughters and pressed kisses to the sides of their heads.
"You truly are the best daughters and son an old man like myself could have," he praised them. "I'm so proud of you both and of all you've achieved in life."
"Oh stop it dad you're not old," Althea objected good naturedly yet seriously. Punctuating her words with a playful slap.
"Certainly not," Nicky added with a soft smile.
"You should listen to our daughters my husband. Not old you are. Still my strong and handsome husband you are and always will be," his wife Mei-Li stated confidently and with a resolute smile.
Jin looked around at the 3 most important women in his life. Nodding towards each one of them and understanding he was outnumbered.
"In that case but who am I to argue with the ladies here?" he accepted with a smile of his own while shrugging in acquiescence. Resulting in chuckles from Althea, Nicky, Ryan, Mei-Li, Sebastian, and Dennis.
Another scene involved Scott embracing his daughter Cassie Lang.
"I'm so proud to be your father. And I love you so much. You know that right?" he quietly stated to her and with his head gently resting upon hers. His voice overflowing with love.
"Of course dad," the teenaged young woman assured him while holding him tightly. Content to be within the arms of her loving and heroic father.
There was also Nancy who was currently embracing both of her fathers while her boyfriend Ace and the rest of the Drew Crew observed them with warm smiles.
"Happy Fathers Day to you both. And you're both the best dads I could have," she said to them in appreciation while gazing at them with an unwavering expression of affection.
"Us to. And for as long as you'll have us we'll be there for not only you but also your friends," Ryan voiced with emotion while gesturing towards said friends. Her teammates in turn nodding towards the 2 older men in thanks.
Everyone present also took a moment to witness the heartwarming scene of Djarin enfolding Grogu into his arms and rocking him gently. The latter on his part snuggling into his chest. All of them seeing clearly the unwavering bond shining between the duo.
Bo-Katan was also watching them with contentment. Experiencing no small amount of satisfaction for those 2 coming into her life. And Grogu especially for opening up a place within her heart for him.
Following the exchanges between the fathers and their families, their respective children also presented them with an assortment of Fathers Day cards for each father. All handcrafted by the either the children themselves, both teenaged adult and preteen, or the children and their mothers or mother figures working together.
The cards themselves consisted of a variety of heartfelt words of love and admiration for their fathers, the older adult children appreciative of them turning them into the individuals they were today, and how blessed they all were to be their children. Wishing them an untold number of years to continue being in their lives.
Each father was moved to tears in response and they responded by once more gathered their children into their arms. Reaffirming how blessed in turn they were to have had them.
Once all of that concluded everyone moved to the table and upon claiming their seats they immediately began to partake in the delicious feast prepared for them.
All of the participants present greatly enjoyed the scrumptious variety of dishes and helped themselves to whatever they good. Consuming everything in reach. The fathers especially taking advantage of the selections and proclaiming them as a feast fit for fathers.
And that was especially true since the selections were based upon dishes served for Fathers Day.
Following dinner's completion dessert was served afterwards. And it consisted of donut hole kebabs with fruit sauce, Blueberry Pie, Blackberry Pie, cheesecake, cowboy cookies, fudge brownies, chocolate cake, mooncake, mung bean cake, chocolate trifles, peach dump cake, chocolate-peanut butter ice cream sandwiches, and various gelato ice cream flavors.
The mung bean and mooncakes were provided for the Shen family and their patriarch though they were also welcome to the other deserts alongside everyone else.
The desserts were just as delightful as the dinner. The dads finding them a satisfying end to an amazing banquet while significantly satisfying their sweet tooth. And the young children especially finding all of the sweets most delightful.
Dessert eventually concluded though there were some leftovers which were divided amongst everyone to take with them. Afterwards they laid back in their chairs and chilled while conversing about the latest happenings in their lives. Including their latest missions and operations on their worlds. Regaling the young children and younger teens with their amazing adventures.
Eventually these latest festivities drew to a close as the guests decided it was time to return to their respective homes. Therefore they finally removed themselves from their seats followed by firm handshakes and tight hugs exchanged all around. Bidding each other farewell and promising to gather together again soon. The children and teens also exchanging warm hugs of their own with one another.
Everyone then departed from the building while the non Earth Prime natives utilized their extrapolators to transport themselves back to their pertaining worlds.
Meanwhile all of the fathers who'd been present could only count their blessings. Content with the families they'd been given, feeling very proud of their children, and knowing that despite the challenges of fatherhood they'd never trade it for anything else.
The End
A/N I hope you all enjoyed this.
