When The Last Petal Falls

6) The End to War

Stark Tower

Anthony- Crossing my arms over my chest as I stomp my foot albeit childishly. "No, No, No, No, NO!" (Whines) "Absolutely not, I just got them back."

Clint- (Raises Eyebrow)

Bruce- (Sighs Heavily)

Pepper- (Glares) "This isn't your choice Anthony, they are eighteen years of age! They are of legal age to do as they please. Technically they could have left to end their war a year ago, but chose to stay and reconnect the family bond that was taken from them when they were babies. Tony they need to do this not for them but for the sake of their world, let them go."

Steve- Most of us stood hiding behind the door frame in the safety of the living room and watch it all unfold. (Mutters) "Damn..."

Loki- (Rolls Eyes) "Family Drama."

Anthony- (Pouts) I glance from an angry Pepper, to my twins. "Alright, but please be safe and return home to me in one piece." Without thinking twice, I wrap my arms around them tightly.

Hadrian and Coura- (Smiles Happily) Returning the loving gesture. "We promise father."

(Two Hours Later)

Coura- Standing in the middle of our bedroom, I take my twin by the hand as we entwine our fingers. "Ready?" Getting a slight nod, we shadow walk to our first destination.

Hogwarts Castle

Hadrian- Stepping out of the shadows of the hidden hallway, I glance around in utter distaste. (Sneers)

Coura- (Giggles) With a snap of our fingers we turn invisible. "The perks of being Demon."

Hadrian- (Hums) Hand in hand, we head up to the Headmasters office and slip into the room as a student walks out. (Smiles Sinisterly)

Coura- Going first, with a twist of my fingers the old man is bound to his chair and I cause immense abdominal pain.

Albus- (Gasps Sharply) Curling I'm on myself as pain radiates through my stomach.

Hadrian- Using the curse from Voldemort's ring, I make it spread much quicker along his frail body as I absorb his life force.

Coura- I destroy what's left of his tainted soul. Grabbing Hadrian's hand, we shadow walk into a shadowed part of Knock Turn. "THAT WAS DISGUSTING!"

Hadrian- (Chuckles) Everyone in a five mile radius instantly stops to look in our direction, but as we are still invisible doesn't see us. Taking my twin by the hand we step through the shadows.

Malfoy Manor

Coura- Good thing we are invisible, because we walked right into the middle of a meeting a very boring meeting by the looks of it.

Hadrian- As soon as the last Death Eater apparates out, I immediately absorb his life force and destroy his soul myself. (Sneers) "Lets go home." Taking my sisters offered hand, we shadow walk one last time.

Stark Tower

Anthony- My Twins step out of the shadows and I instantly assesses them for any sign of damage. (Sighs) "You're okay..." Noticing they both look tired. "Go up and sleep." I send them upstairs.

Hadrian and Coura- We didn't have to be told twice and head straight to bed without complaint.

Next Day

Bruce- Making breakfast for my Godchildren. "Good morning."

Clint- I give them both some coffee.

Coura- (Mumbles) "Good morning."

Hadrian- (Hums) Drinking my coffee, I read a copy of today's Daily Prophet;

'ALBUS DUMBLEDORE FOUND DEAD! LEADER OF THE LIGHT UNDER INVESTIGATION, AFTER DEAD BODY FOUND WEARING AN ARTIFACT BELONGING TO LORD VOLDEMORT! ALBUS DUMBLEDORE TITLES AND LAWS PASSED UNDER INVESTIGATION!

I hand the newspaper over to my twin. (Smirks) "Our work is done."

Coura- Glancing over the headlines. (Nods Agreeingly) "So, it is."
