Chapter 31

"It's time," Fleur said as she looked off into the distance from where she had been watching Harry craft a spell.

Fleur had been subtly making tiny alterations to the structure of the spell as Harry went to make the spell more efficient. His previous spell would have worked but there would have been long-term health effects for those the spell had been cast upon. Of course long-term health effects were better than being instantly dead which is what would have happened had Harry not crafted this spell.

"Gah," Harry said as he released the spell he had been building up for days.

The arcane energy from the spell expanded outsides to travel around the globe. Harry and Fleur were floating in the clouds high above Manhattan. They descended down towards the city as they watched the ocean rise up and engulf the city. Harry wrapped his arm around Fleur and she shuddered at the sight before them. Millions were drowned in the water. Harry and Fleur both possessed the ability to peer through solid matter in different ways. Harry used a spell. Fleur uses the repository of abilities her Ascended husband had gathered on his travels. The two lovers watched as debris from the inrushing water crushed people or water filled their lungs and they went through the struggles and motions of drowning.

But then their struggles stopped and it looked like they had died. Indeed, all of their bodily functions had stopped working. But both magic-users could sense the arcane energy present in every living being on the planet, wrought by Harry's spell.

"This is hard to watch and do nothing," Fleur said.

"Yes it is," Harry admitted. "But I do believe it is necessary."

"I agree," Fleur said. "This universe is so violent, even more so than our home universe."

Just then a telekinetic barrier rose up from the Baxter Building and began to push back much of the water.

"Susan and Sue are working together," Harry noted as he sensed the energies from the two women working together.

A wall of telekinetic energy bigger than the barrier created by Sue & Susan suddenly blossomed into existence pushing out the water in another direction. This barrier was tinged with a fiery looking energy and it was this fact along with Jean suddenly appearing in the sky next to Harry and Fleur told the magic-users where the new barrier originated from. Yet more water began moving out of the city from another front and the efforts of Blend.

"This is what you've been working on?" Jean asked with confusion as she used her telepathy to try to understand what was going on below her.

People that Jean had thought dead began to…wake up when they were no longer submersed in water. Their thoughts were confused and muddled but it was like their minds had just rebooted with no loss of information.

"Yes. So that they learn not to depend solely on heroes," Harry answered.

"Who did this?" Jean asked.

"Magneto," Fleur answered. "It is a doomsday scenario he and Charles Xavier talked about in their younger years."

"Xavier helped that mad-man think this up," Jean said with a tone that was somewhat lost as she looked about at all of the destruction.

"Yes," Fleur answered while Harry wrapped an arm around Jean's waist to help comfort her.

Jean felt Harry shaking against her side and turned to him.

"Are you alright?" Jean asked her boyfriend worriedly. "I've never seen him this…weak…before," Jean sent to just Fleur.

"I'm alright. My strength is quickly returning. That spell took more out of me to pull off than I anticipated," Harry admitted.

"He will be fine," Fleur assured Jean. "Despite what some in this world may believe Harry is not a god. He does have his limits even if they don't get tested every day."

Fleur's thoughts seemed to reassure Jean. Fleur was monitoring Harry's energy reserves constantly through her replicat.

"Without your intervention to make that spell more efficient the casting of that Ultimatum spell might have killed him," Turia sent to Fleur.

Harry had found out Magneto and Xavier had decided to call their doomsday plan Ultimatum. So Harry's spell to keep everyone alive was called his Ultimatum spell accordingly.

"I did not think it would tax him so or I wouldn't have let him try it even with my assistance," Fleur replied to Turia.

Elsewhere in Manhattan

"What is going on here?" Cable asked as he stood on top of a skyscraper looking down upon the destruction wrought upon New York by the Ultimatum Wave. "All these people should be dead."

"I think this is Harry's work," Xavier said from beside Cable.

The two men had been preparing their forces to assault Magneto's fortress after Cable had revealed the history of the Ultimatum Event to Xavier. They weren't confident in their ability to take on Magneto let alone all of his forces. They had just arrived back in time to hopefully at least warn the forces allied against Magneto of his threat only to find this was unnecessary.

"He's keeping the people of New York alive?" Cable asked as he spotted a woman impaled through the heart by a flag pole struggling to stand up in the wreckage below.

The woman should have been dead never mind standing up. Other survivors came over and helped her stand. They pulled the flag pole out of the woman and despite the massive hole in her chest where her heart should have been she was alive. Cable watched as the hole healed up in much the same fashion as his healing factor before he had lost it would have worked.

"He's keeping the people all over the world alive," Xavier corrected.

"Huh…well what do we do now?" Cable asked.

"I believe we watch and wait. We can help out where we can. But this is very much Harry's show at this point," Xavier stated.

Allison woke up coughing and spluttering. Her chest hurt for some reason. She opened her eyes to see Harry kneeling next to her holding a jagged piece of concrete and rebar. It was then that Allison realized she was laying amid rubble and debris.

"What the hell happened?" Allison thought to herself. Then her mind flashed back to that massive wave of water. She had been coming out of a night club where she had done a singing gig when the flood had come. "Harry…what happened?" Allison asked as her chest healed itself even before her eyes.

"Your chest was caved in by this," Harry said while indicating the chunk of concrete before he tossed it aside.

"Did you heal me?" Allison asked as she started to feel better and tried to sit up.

Harry helped her sit up. She noticed her shirt was in tatters and her chest was revealed but she didn't care. She would jump Harry's bones in a heartbeat. They had been dating for a few weeks anyway.

"I healed everyone," Harry replied. "All over the world."

Allison looked up startled at that. She hadn't realized he was that powerful.

"Thank you," Allison said as she tried to stand.

"Easy…you still aren't fully healed," Harry cautioned.

Allison let herself fall into Harry's arms as she shivered from the cold. A wave of heat washed over her as she immediately became dry.

"You're the best," Allison said approvingly. She reached up and touched his chin before guiding his mouth down to hers for a kiss. She tried conveying her gratitude to him through their lips. She had practically died and would have stayed that way if it wasn't for him. When the kiss broke she just let him hold her for a while. Then steel entered her tone as she asked, "Who did this?"

"Magneto," Harry answered.

"This is why you've been so distracted," Allison said as she drew back enough to look at his features.

"Yes…I was preparing that spell to heal everyone in the world," Harry explained.

"But you could have stopped him altogether," Allison pointed out.

"If I save everyone all the time then they will become weak and dependent on me. This way they can learn a lesson but not pay the ultimate mistake for complacency," Harry explained.

Similar conversations were taking place between Harry and all of his significant others who hadn't been in the know about the Ultimatum situation.

"I understand," Allison said while cupping his left cheek and looking him in the eyes trying to convey her sincerity in that she wasn't mad at him. "I think it's time for me to suit up and do my part to help resolve this situation rather than just fully relying on you. But I'll be glad to know you are watching my backside."

"Always," Harry said with mischief in his eyes and on his lips.

Allison knew that meant Harry would be watching her butt.

She kissed him one more time before saying, "Just so you know…when this is all over I'm going to screw your brains out."

"I'm regretting not finishing Magneto myself now," Harry joked.

Allison laughed and they were gone from there carried off by the light of the orbiting transporter network.

Parker Compound

"What is it May?" Janet asked as she and Liz walked into May's sitting room.

"Have a seat," May requested while gesturing the young women to two chairs.

"Oh boy…this must be serious," Liz said as she sat. "Did we both die in the Ultimatum wave in the WWH feed?"

May was silent and didn't answer right away.

"We did, didn't we," Janet said.

"You did…well I'm not sure if that is what killed you or what happened after," May admitted. "It's best if you just watch. This is going to be gory and horrific," She warned.

Liz took Janet's hand as May manipulated the WWH feed. The three women watched on as Hawkeye and Hank Pym in his Giant-Man form searched for Janet in the aftermath of the Ultimatum Wave.

"I think I spotted something over there," Clint said from where he stood on Pym's hand using his enhanced sight to look for Janet in the wreckage of the Avengers compound.

When the two reached the scene it was to find Blob with Janet's guts between his teeth.

"Tastes like chicken," Blob said with a mouthful of Janet's guts.

Janet waved her hand and paused the feed. She stood and ran to the bathroom where the other two heard her vomiting. Liz went in and rubbed Janet's back.

"Oh god that was horrible," Janet said as she finished throwing up.

"I…I don't know how he could do that," Liz said in a tone of utter revulsion. "I'm sorry."

"Just because he is your father doesn't mean you are responsible for his actions," Janet said. "You know we don't blame Wanda and Lorna for the acts of Magneto."

"I…I know," Liz said in a tone quavering with a mixture of gratitude and disgust at her parentage. She snorted as she banished those thoughts and said, "Wanda, Lorna, Pietro and I need to get together for a support group for those of us with bastard parents…epic bastards."

"Here dear," May said as she handed Janet a small cup of mouth wash.

"Thank you," Janet said before gurgling the mouth wash.

Meanwhile Manhattan

"What is it?" Charles asked Cable.

"I smell Magneto," Cable reported. Logan snarled and turned but he was too late. Metallic hands made of metallic debris rose up and grasped Xavier's head. A sickening crunch was heard as Xavier's neck was snapped. Even as the body dropped to the rooftop the hands disintegrated. "Noooo…," Cable called as he spotted Magneto.

But then Magneto simply vanished. It was then that Cable realized Magneto had been a hologram. History had said this would happen. But Cable had thought that just because history had changed so much that this wouldn't happen. He had been wrong. The Ultimatum spell had been cast before Cable and Xavier had arrived back to this point in time. Therefore Xavier was not under the effects of the Ultimatum spell.

The Blackbird

"Are you ok?" Harry asked Rogue as he knelt in front of her on the Institute's stealth fighter.

Rogue opened her eyes and looked down at her boyfriend kneeling there showing concern for her. She reached out and ran her fingers through his hair affectionately.

"God I love him," Rogue thought. Out loud she said, "That WWH feed update was…jarring."

A large portion of the X-Men were taking the Blackbird because Magneto had gone to great lengths to acquire multiple layers of protection against transporters. Harry's transporter network could punch through with some safety overrides on his part. But the people who had been transported wouldn't be in any condition to fight for some time. So it decided best by Harry and Jean just to have the Blackbird bring those who couldn't get to Magneto's stronghold under their own power.

"Oh I know," Harry said.

"Here," Rogue said as she stood and gestured for him to sit down. After Harry took her seat she sat in his lap. She wrapped her right arm around his neck and held him close. "That's better."

"You know what that William Stryker said wasn't true don't you?" Harry asked.

In the WWH feed Rogue had witnessed as a group of men enhanced with sentinel technology had attacked the Institute. With the bulk of the X-Men's forces away assaulting Magneto's fortress the sentinel-enhanced had begun slaughtering the younger children and less-experienced teens. That Alternate-Rogue had been mixed up with Vindicator, Juggernaut, and Sabertooth up in Canada's Department H at the time the call for help went out. In the ensuing fighting Juggernaut had been poisoned and slowly killed. Alternate-Rogue had gone into a berserker rage and slaughtered the sentinel-enhanced. William Stryker had been the last sentinel-enhanced combatant alive. Stryker had accused Alternate-Rogue of being a murdering monster which was something Alternate-Rogue really couldn't easily refute given the bodies of the sentinel-enhanced around her.

"I do," Rogue admitted. "But that universe was so terrible…without you there. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Harry. But more than that…you are the best thing that has ever happened to our universe," She said while staring down into his eyes and trying to convey just how intensely she loved him.

Harry kissed Rogue.

"I know what is in your heart Rogue and it makes me love you all the more," Harry said with his hand on her heart.

"If we weren't surrounded by other people I'd be so naked with you right now," Rogue whispered.

"After we'll have plenty of time for that," Harry promised while thinking the anticipation would make it better. There was a comfortable silence between the two for a time before Harry added, "Those sentinel-enhanced attacked the Institute first. That Rogue was just defending herself."

"A good point," Rogue said as she basked in the comfort of being with Harry. "As long as I have moments like these I can get through anything. I can be better than her," She thought to herself while thinking of Alternate-Rogue and all the alternate versions of herself which Rogue could see through the WWH feed.

For Rogue sitting there on Harry's lap being held in his arms was the best preparation for the coming fight.

"I've got it," Jessica said as she lifted up the back of the car. "Pull them out."

Sif reached down and grasped the two mortals which had been trapped beneath the car. The Asgardian pulled the two mortals free and watched as the crushed mortals began to heal. Jessica dropped the car with a loud crash.

"This is a very strange day my friend," Sif said as she and Jessica began walking searching for the next group of trapped mortals.

"Mortals not behaving like mortals and dying gives you grief," Jessica said with a teasing grin directed at her friend.

"Yes," Sif agreed. "There," Sif said while pointing towards a cluster of rubble. "I hear shouting beneath this barrier."

The Asgardian's senses were superb. There was a large section of intact concrete and rebar but the edges of this section were covered by chunks of debris. Jessica began webbing up the chunks of debris before webbing up the edges of the larger section.

"Just go ahead and do it. They're going to get some debris on them no matter what," Jessica said.

Sif nodded and focused on the enchantments on her spear. The tip blazed into a fiery blue light before she stabbed it into the steel and stone. The spear's tip began to cut through the stone and steel like a hot knife through butter as Sif moved it in a circle with a sawing motion. Jessica reached down to the center of the circular section and placed her finger-tips there. Her spider-powers allowed her to hold onto the steel and stone circle so that it didn't drop down when Sif finished cutting. Jessica pulled the circle free with a grunt of effort and dropped it nearby. A man and a woman came out through the hole with Sif's help coughing up water. There had been a pocket of water beneath.

"Thanks," Brice, the man, said.

Sif nodded and the two superheroines moved on.

"So you were saying something earlier about your latest communication with Odin before the Ultimatum wave interrupted you?" Jessica said questioningly.

"Yes," Sif said. "Odin wants me to open a permanent embassy here on Earth to open trade with Asgard. With Thor and I both on Midgard it is clear to the world that we Asgardians are very real now."

Jessica smiled at this news while brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes. Anything that caused Sif to build a more permanent attachment to Earth was good in Jessica's books. She wanted her best friend to stay for good.

"That's great news," Jessica said. "I'm sure Harry will help."

"Yes," Sif said. "He is always quite helpful."

The affection in Sif's tone for their beau was clear for Jessica to hear. Jessica felt the same way.

"So any ideas yet where you want to build the embassy?" Jessica asked.

"Well I haven't had too much time to think about it with all that has been going on. But I was thinking maybe close to the Baxter Building," Sif answered. "There's a nice spot there which I have grown fond of, a park. I was thinking near there."

The two friends went on chatting about Sif's plans and their lives as they helped people in the wake of the Ultimatum wave, proving that life still went on.

The Baxter Building

"How are you feeling?" Reed asked with a tone of worry as he entered the quarters he shared with Sue. Reed's lover was lying on their bed with her eyes closed looking like she was sleeping. But he had watched her sleep enough to know when she was awake. "Any better?"

"Much better," Sue admitted. "That medication Susan gave me really took the edge off the headache. It's almost gone."

It should have come as no surprise that helping push back the water from the Ultimatum wave would strain the abilities of most of those involved. Sue had perhaps been the participant most taxed but she was not the only one. Reed sat on the bed next to her and moved her locks out of her eyes. Sue opened her eyes and smiled up at him before reaching up and drawing him down for a kiss. Reed laid down next to her and Sue snuggled into his shoulder.

"I'm glad to hear that. I was worried about you," Reed said.

"I'll be ok. How goes your end of things?" Sue asked.

Reed was working with another group of scientists to determine the global implications of Magneto's assault.

"We are finding more and more widespread minor effects resulting from Magneto's attack," Reed admitted. "Cumulatively we are still trying to get a handle on the long-term effects. Your mother is here."

"Susan stopped in to let me know," Sue said. "I guess even she has some maternal instinct in her."

The Baxter Building was largely unaffected by the Ultimatum wave thanks to the shielding Harry had put in place. A shudder went through Sue then.

"Are you cold?" Reed asked worriedly.

"No…I was just thinking what would have happened without Harry's intervention," Sue admitted. "All those people permanently dead."

"They are calling what he did the Undying," Reed said.

"I hope nobody reacts poorly to what he did…the religious groups," Sue suggested.

"Right now I think people are just grateful to be alive," Reed said. "In the long-run he can always just site it as a very advanced technology that we can barely fathom. I'll back him on that if need be."

"Me too," Sue agreed. "He has done so much for all of us. He truly is the greatest superhero to ever live."

"Should I be worried," Reed said teasingly.

"Reed…everyone has celebrity crushes. I know you have a special spot in your heart for Jessica Alba," Sue said back teasingly.

"She looks like you!" Reed said with a laugh.

"Uh-huh," Sue said. "And Susan looks just like me. And she's with Harry. So it's pretty easy for me to picture myself with him."

Reed looked her in the eyes then and said, "I understand. I really do. I'm not jealous. You are with me and that is all that matters."

Sue leaned up and kissed Reed again. This time there was a greater need to that kiss. Her hands began exploring. Their passion intensified and it turned into something more. For that little while the two lovers could escape the horrors of the outside world with one another.

Magneto's Fortress

Magneto sat on his throne looking at the devastation his plan had wrought.

"Volcanoes in the Amazon, most of Europe flash frozen, New York buried from a tidal wave, and more death than can be imagined," Mystique said as she stood to one side of her master.

"Millions are dead for certain…but it isn't enough," Magneto said with his fingers steepled together. "Killing Xavier was satisfying," He admitted.

Magneto did not realize that Xavier's death was the only one carried out. The newsfeed going into Magneto's Fortress was being carefully manipulated by Harry's bio-net tech. Just then Magneto became aware of someone else standing nearby.

"What are you doing Maddox?" Mystique demanded as the man stood staring at Magneto intently while holding a kill switch to the bomb-vest strapped to his chest.

Thousands of Maddox's copies were attacking strategic locations all over the world including parliament in London, Washington DC government buildings, and even the Triskelion in New York City.

"You have betrayed your own people Magneto. You promised to save mutant kind. Yet you have slaughtered many mutants with this attack," Maddox said.

"Are you even Maddox Prime?" Magneto asked to buy time.

Maddox had thought this out well because the vest and everything on Maddox's person was unaffected by Magneto's powers. In truth Magneto had not expected such a brazen attack by one of his own people.

"You've had him holed up for weeks making duplicates for you. His mind is so fragmented I doubt he even realizes I am here. I am just a stray thought willing to act," Duplicate-Maddox said.

"And just as easily as a stray thought you will be dismissed," Magneto said while flicking his fingers which caused the metal flooring to bend upwards.

Duplicate-Maddox acted to press down on the button and detonate the bomb. The explosion went off but Magneto managed to get the floor angled upwards enough while reinforcing the alloy magnetically that only a gout of flame and sound rose up over the angle of the floor just above his head. Mystique had ducked down behind Magneto.

"Thank you," Mystique said as she stood again and the floor was returned to normal.

"I have plans for you Mystique…for you specifically. I can't have you dying," Magneto said.

"What is to be done about Maddox?" Mystique questioned.

"I'll post guards around this chamber and will be on higher alert myself. Like Duplicate-Maddox said…the original is likely losing his mind from the combination of pushing his duplication powers and having many duplicates die while he was controlling them," Magneto said. "Leave him be for now. Our enemies will soon be on their way. We will be in for the fight of our lives."

And in truth Magneto didn't honestly care if he lost his life. He didn't want to live in a world where his beloved Wanda couldn't survive. Magneto had known how futile this plan may prove given just how lethal Spider-Man and his allies had shown themselves to be in recent years.

The Savage Land

A picturesque cottage stood in the jungle of the Savage Land. It was snowing in the Savage Land due to Magneto's actions causing global weather destabilization. So the Christmas lights decorating the cottage didn't look that out of place. Harry, Jean, and Emma appeared before the cottage.

"This…this is where Maddox is hiding?" Jean asked with surprise as she looked around at the scene.

"More like where he is being hidden," Harry corrected while looking up at a second floor bedroom window.

"I expected more protection," Emma noted.

Maddox's duplicates were waging an all out war on the world's leadership which had to be stopped.

"There are guards further out mostly there to put a stop to any approach by the dinosaurs here in this place," Harry said as he walked up onto the front porch. Harry put his hand on the door knob while channeling an unlocking charm. "Lucy, I'm home," Harry called.

"How long have you been wanting to do that?" Jean asked amused.

"Since the moment I first saw this place," Harry replied.

A silver-haired woman in an apron carrying a tray of freshly baked cookies came out of the kitchen and stared at the new arrivals.

"Well…crap," Lorelei said as she laid eyes on Spider-Man.

Lorelei immediately began focusing all of her power upon Harry. Emma cocked her head to one side.

"You actually think that will work?" Emma asked.

Lorelei's powers were a mixture of pheromone-based with a minor dose of telepathy. Her pheromones made men suggestible to her desires while her minor telepathy communicated and reinforced those desires.

"He is a man," Lorelei said while sweat began to break out on her brow.

"Honey, he isn't like any other man you've ever encountered," Jean said before a flick of her wrist saw the cookie tray come up and smack Lorelei in the head enough to knock the silver-haired woman out.

"That was amazing," Harry admitted as Jean gestured at the tray and caused it to bend into manacles binding Lorelei to the stair-way railing.

"You can't be the only super-impressive one in this relationship," Jean said with a grin.

The trio moved up the stairs to a room on the second floor. The doorway was decorated to show a teenager lived inside. Harry opened the door where thirteen year old Jamie Maddox was sitting on his bed reading a comic book and listening to music with a pair of headphones. Jamie looked up when the door opened and slipped of his headphones.

"Who are you?" Jamie asked. "Where is my mom?"

"Jamie, my name is Spider-Man. Most people call me Harry," Harry said as he entered the room. "Lorelei has him deep under control. Start working on him while I distract him with talk," Harry sent to Emma and Jean. "We're friends of your mom's. She's downstairs making cookies. I can do magic. Would you like to see some?" Harry asked as he conjured up chairs for his ladies to work with.

"It's alright Jamie," Lorelei's voice carried up the stairs. "They are friends."

The voice was a result of Lily's efforts.

"Wow," Jamie said with awe as he saw the chairs appear. "Sure," Jamie agreed.

Harry began to expand the room with an expansion charm. The two ladies worked on getting Jamie's mind to call back his duplicates. Jamie's fragmented mind was like no mind Jean or Emma had ever encountered. It took the two strong telepaths working together to achieve their goal. But eventually achieve their goal they did without having to hurt Jamie.

Another Universe

Nym entered Hermione's lab to see Hermione hard at work analyzing some results being holo-projected around where Hermione was sitting at her desk. Hermione's fingers danced through the air manipulating the display. Hermione stopped to admire one of her best friends in the multiverse at work. Despite their many years together Nym's appreciation for Hermione's intellect only grew stronger.

"Watcher Hermione. How goes the search?" Nym asked.

"Morning Nym," Hermione said as she continued to work. "I think I'm close to finding him."

"Really," Nym said with interest. "Do tell," She prompted while conjuring up a seat next to Hermione.

"The temporal radiation from the explosion Harry caused has finally cleared enough for me to get a good reading of his departure point. I think it won't be much longer until Aristides will be able to calibrate a probe to track Harry," Hermione explained.

Aristides was Hermione's bio-net A.I.

"That's brilliant," Nym said with a wide grin.

Hermione glanced away from her display with a smile saying, "It is." Hermione noticed something off about Nym. "What is it Nym?"

"I know you've probably missed it because of your work searching for Harry. But something is really off with Fleur. I'm not sure what it is. I can just tell something is off," Nym explained.

"Can you give me anymore than that?" Hermione asked as she focused her full attention on Nym.

It would do them no good to find Harry only to lose Fleur.

"It feels like she is hiding something big," Nym admitted.

"You think she is lying about something?" Hermione questioned.

"Not lying so much as not volunteering information," Nym replied.

Both women were silent for a while as Hermione digested this news. That was when Fleur materialized sitting to their side in a chair.

"I should have known I couldn't keep things from you two," Fleur said. "You're even more perceptive than Harry at times."

"You've found him," Hermione surmised.

"A short while ago," Fleur confirmed.

"Why have you kept it from us?" Nym asked with concern and confusion.

"I have changed. I am the Fleur you have always known but I am also more," Fleur admitted.

Fleur reached out and took one of Hermione's hands and one of Nym's hands before releasing her full power. She also let them feel her mind. They both felt the same barrier that Harry had sensed. Even working together they realized they couldn't breach the barrier closing off a portion of Fleur's mind to them.

"Bloody hell," Hermione swore in awe. Hermione rarely swore. When she did things were serious. "You're more powerful than Harry, Nym, and I combined. How?"

"There are things in the multiverse greater than you have dreamed of. I have encountered many of those things," Fleur admitted.

"You experience time differently than us now," Hermione said while watching Fleur's features intently.

"You have always been clever Hermione," Fleur said.

"Why don't you just tell us?" Nym asked.

"Someday I might tell you. Suffice it to say I mean no harm to you or the man we love. In fact it is quite the opposite. I'm going to take you two the universe he is in and teach you what he has been up to. But you cannot interfere until he is ready," Fleur stated.

Hermione and Nym exchanged a look. At the speed of thought they communicated and came to an agreement. They would go see what Harry had been up to and see how this new version of Fleur interacted with them.

"Let's do it," Hermione said, speaking for them both.

With that the three women vanished from the planet they had temporarily made their home in within a universe that held very little life. They were off to see the love of their life. After so long living, all three women could appreciate a little excitement.

Strange Manor

Harry materialized at the front door of the manor house and raised his hand to knock. Before Harry could knock Wong opened the door.

"Come in, please," Wong invited.

Harry entered and found everything looked normal within.

"Where is Stephen?" Harry asked.

"This way," Wong beckoned while leading the way up the stairs. Wong had considerably warmed up to Harry since Harry had begun helping Stephen grow in magical combat skill. "Although the Ultimatum Wave did not damage the physical structure of the manor thanks to your ward additions it did erode some of the protections placed previously. Stephen is attempting to hold them in place and asks your assistance in repairing the damage."

"I see," Harry said as he was led into Strange Manor's ward room.

Stephen knelt next to an array of crystals etched with runes holding onto several crystals. Stephen had his eyes closed and he was obviously straining with the sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Harry, nice of you to come," Stephen said. "I would really appreciate some help."

"Lily," Harry thought as he sent threads of arcane energy dancing out from his finger-tips.

"On it," Lily replied as she immediately began tapping into her master's power core to counter the threats trying to gain entrance to their realm from demonic realms.

Immediately the strain on Stephen lessened. While Lily worked on that she also helped Harry begin repairing the damaged wards. Stephen sighed in relief and opened his eyes before looking up at Harry.

"You make that seem so effortless," Stephen said with admiration. "I don't think I would have been able to hold the evil at bay had you not helped train me."

Harry finished tying off a particularly stubborn thread of magic that didn't seem to want to connect. Lily watched in amusement as her master crushed a minor demonic entity which had been trying to prevent his re-establishment of the wards without even noticing it. So great was his strength that he could do something like that without noticing.

"It was not a problem," Harry assured. "Besides, the sparring was good for me too. Without it my skills could have atrophied."

Stephen exchanged an amused look with Wong, well with as much amusement as Wong ever showed. Both men knew that Harry's skills hadn't atrophied in the slightest.

"How goes it on the outside world with the Ultimatum wave? I felt that spell you cast," Stephen said. "I've never imagined a spell could be so powerful."

"Events are…chaotic but overall are going ok," Harry said as he finished up repairing the wards. "There…the wards are as good as new. After this is all over we can discuss improving the ward design so that if something like this happens again you won't need to be present to stop the breech attempt."

"Sounds good," Stephen said. "Thank you Harry," He added as he grasped Harry's forearm in a gesture of solidarity. "If you need my help for anything you have but to ask."

"I'll keep that in mind," Harry assured.

Harry then vanished.

"If it were any other being their ability to do that through the manor's wards would alarm me," Stephen said. "But with Harry I am not alarmed."

"I agree Master," Wong said.

"Harry has been busy," Hermione said after viewing in brief all that Harry had been up to.

"That's a bloody understatement," Nym declared as she stared numerous holograms that showed all of Harry's lovers, his colony worlds out in the galaxy, and the many versions of Harry in existence at that moment.

Fleur had taken Hermione and Nym through many of Harry's major battles.

"I see why you held back. You want him to bring in more women," Hermione said. Fleur had always been the most vocal supporter of the need for more spice in their love lives. Personally Hermione had been mostly fine with the way things had gotten. "But hasn't he already done that?"

"Yes. That is true. But it's more than just that. Your appearance right now would seriously distract him. Right after this Ultimatum crisis is over you can be reunited," Fleur assured the two.

"Fair enough," Nym said while Hermione nodded her agreement. "This universe is so much different from our own."

"Infinite diversity in infinite combinations," Hermione noted. "That is the nature of the multiverse."

"You have no idea," Fleur said in agreement. Hermione and Nym had only been able to map a small portion of their local cluster of the multiverse. "Just about everything that can out there will happen."

"Ok…so obviously you are now some multiverse-aware entity," Hermione said. "But dropping hints on us like this but not actually revealing anything is just cruel."

"Hermione…are you pouting?" Fleur teased. "After a million years of life you are still pouting over withheld knowledge?"

"She's got you there Hermione," Nym said with a grin.

"I was not pouting," Hermione said primly. The other two women grinned at her. "I'm just curious."

"You are always curious," Fleur said. "But I have yet to meet a version of you that hasn't been curious."

Nym turned to Fleur with one raised eyebrow.

"You've met different versions of us," Nym probed.

"Yes. Quite a few," Fleur confirmed. "You two are getting more information than Harry got."

"And why is that?" Hermione asked.

"Because a girl has to keep a little mystery in her life to keep things interesting," Fleur teased.

"That's true…the mystery went out a long time ago," Nym suggested.

"Which is why I'm saying no more on that topic," Fleur stated resolutely.

"So this WWH feed…that's pretty interesting," Hermione pointed out.

"A little manipulative too," Nym observed.

"A little," Hermione agreed.

"Please…when you reach our age anything we do with these young pups can be construed as manipulative," Fleur said.

"This is very true," Nym conceded.

"Don't mind her…she just hasn't gotten any in a while," Hermione said.

"Not true," Nym replied.

"Hard light holograms of Harry are no substitute for the real thing," Hermione said.

"And your A.I. controlled clones are?" Nym asked.

"Ladies, ladies, it won't be that much longer. Do I have to lock you in a very real fantasy of the last time you were with Harry?" Fleur asked.

The other two women stared at her with their interest obviously sparked.

"Yes please," Hermione replied.

Fleur sighed and waved her hand at them while tapping into the abilities of her Ascended husband. The two women seemed to drift off to sleep instantly.

"It won't be long now Harry," Fleur said as she returned to watching the events going on with the Ultimatum crisis.

Smut Scene Lead-In

"This is the best way to de-stress," Alison thought as her boyfriend's mouth worked over her sex. They had been engaging in oral sex for some time. But they had yet to take that plunge with him plunging into her. "It's time…I may never get another chance," Alison thought as she tried to banish thoughts of the Ultimatum event where she would have died if not for the man pleasuring her.

"Harry…I want you in me," Alison whispered. "I need you in me."

"Are you sure?" Harry asked as he ceased his oral attentions on her flower.

"Yes," Dazzler urged as she pulled at his biceps.

Duskenbar, India

The villagers of the remote province of India did not have televisions. Occasionally they did get news from the greater world. So when a holographic representation of Spider-Man appeared over their village even they recognized him.

"Hello citizens of Earth," Harry said in the language of the natives. The effect of speaking the native language was accomplished by a telepathic translator matrix incorporated into Harry's technology. "By now you likely will have realized that something terrible is happening with the weather. This is an attack caused by Magneto. You might also have realized that you are unable to die. This effect is only temporary lasting 24 hours from the start of the attack."

"Magneto will pay for his crimes. But what the horror of sustaining mortal injuries yet not dying should teach everyone is not to be dependent on superheroes. We may have super powers but we are all still fallible. We can fail to protect you. We are nice to have around but you should also strive to protect yourselves. To that end I have devised a way for humanity to gain the technology base, peace, and breathing room necessary to grow stronger by itself. I call it the Spider-M Colonization Project," Harry explained.

The hologram shifted to show a map of the galaxy with 100 tiny dots highlighted in gold. A cluster of the dots was zoomed in on to show several solar systems located in the same region of the galaxy. Then a solar system was zoomed in on to show the planets. The planet was zoomed in on to show the 100 cities spread glowing golden spread throughout the planet. Then the same Vega colony city Harry had first shown Jean was brought into view.

"Let me explain the details of the colony worlds I am offering humanity to spread out upon," Harry said. Harry's explanation was thorough in his covering of the highlights. "More information will be made available through the Spider Inc website. For those remote locations where the internet is not available a holographic interface smaller than the one you are seeing will appear in your village locations of governance to answer questions three days from now. Think about my offer. Humanity could be something better."

The hologram blinked out of existence as suddenly as it had appeared. The people of Duskenbar began to gather together to discuss this development. There was an air of excitement at this revelation.

Above the Arctic Circle

"Ok…now I'm confused," Susan said.

Susan was among a group of Harry's ladies sitting on an invisible platform floating just outside of Magneto's floating citadel.

"Uh oh…it must be serious if you're confused," Jennifer said teasingly. Susan had become a good friend to Jennifer since Jennifer had become the She-Hulk. They loved to tease one another. "What has you vexed?"

While waiting for the others to show up Harry's ladies were chatting in groups. Several had just gotten their WWH feed updates.

"In the WWH feed we see that Wanda supposedly committed suicide because she feared her powers. So she manipulated Ultron into killing her," Susan said. "But then we see Doom claiming credit for killing her."

"I'm not certain," Felicia said. "But I think the suicide by Ultron thing was just a cover Doom purported."

Felicia hadn't wanted to ride on the X-Jet so had come ahead with some of the other ladies. She was mostly there to deal with Magneto's minions. She had firmly told Harry that Magneto was out of her weight class.

"Ok…but then who attempted to kill our Wanda? Our doom is still trapped in another universe," Jessica asked.

"It was a being named Mr. Sinister," Thresh stated. "Harry has dealt with the madman."

"Huh…it looks like it's show time ladies," Jessica said as she spotted the X-Jet, a Quinjet, and the Fantasticar approaching.

The women all stood and prepared for a fight. Magneto didn't stand a chance but they expected him to put up a fight. The three transport crafts spread out 120° apart surrounding Magneto's citadel. The platform Harry's ladies were upon split into smaller platforms and filled the gaps between the three aircraft. It was Harry appearing floating above the top of the dome topping the citadel releasing a flash of light which was the signal to breach. As one the assembled superheroes and superheroines breached the glass entrances of the dome. Glass came raining down onto the marble floor of the citadel.

Magneto was already standing in front of his throne having detected the approach. He looked around at those assembled before him. The Ultimates, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and more were all present. And standing right before him materialized Spider-Man.

"I suppose I should feel honored that so many have come to challenge me," Magneto said gravely. "But not even you can stop me Spider-Man."

"Harry doesn't need to stop you father," Wanda said as she, Pietro, Lorna, and Magnestar became visible standing next to Harry.

Magneto took a step back in surprise as he beheld his daughter and Magnestar. But then his face hardened and his gaze shot back to Harry.

"This deception is beneath you," Magneto said to Harry. "An illusion won't fool me."

"It's no deception, Magneto," Jean said as she stepped forward. She reached out with her hand and telekinetically began removing his helmet which protected him from telepathic influence. His magnekinesis fought to hold the helmet on. Magneto's eyes widened when her telekinesis began to overpower him and he redoubled his effort. The helmet atomized in the struggle. Magneto had learned over the years how to shield his mind in an enhanced way with his magnetic powers but it wouldn't hold up for long against the telepaths in the room with him. Jean was able to communicate with Magneto telepathically despite his limited defenses. "See the truth," Jean thought to Magneto as she connected his mind to Wanda's.

Magneto felt the beauty of his daughter's mind. He felt her love for her family and her love for Spider-Man. Magneto felt her increased joy in life since Harry had first befriended her.

"It's really you," Magneto said as tears formed beneath his eyes. "How?"

"Without Harry I would have died father," Wanda said while glancing briefly at her lover. "Let me show you just how many would have died. Jean," Wanda prompted. Every woman there that was one of Harry's lovers was equipped with a bio-net A.I. Recently even the newest of them had begun learning how to interact with their bio-net A.I. Wanda's bio-net A.I. Sessel projected a hologram of the WWH feed showing recent events at a blinding fast pace. At the same time Jean relayed the events to all those present who didn't already know telepathically at the speed of thought so that they could keep up with the image. Magneto saw Nick Fury showing up and using Jean's telepathy to relay the truth of that scene long ago where mutants were first created by a mad scientist. Magneto saw himself fixing the Earth's magnetic poles when he realized mutants weren't chosen by God or some divine force. Then Magneto saw his death. Then the illusions stopped. "So much destruction for nothing," Magneto said. To Harry Magneto said, "Thank you for preventing all of those deaths."

"I didn't expect you to thank me to be honest," Harry said. "For the sake of your children we wanted you to see the truth."

Magneto looked over his children. He hadn't really had a relationship with Lorna at all. He just hoped he hadn't corrupted his other two children too much.

"What happens now? Do you need me to repair the damage to the poles?" Magneto asked.

Magneto's tone was of a man defeated inside.

"We've already taken care of that," Lorna said while gesturing between herself and Magnestar with her left hand.

"Of course," Magneto said.

"I think as far as the world is concerned it is best if Magneto dies," Steve suggested. "Magneto did try to murder just about every human alive."

"Of course," Tony added. "That doesn't mean you have to actually die."

"But you can't go unpunished for your crimes," Sue pointed out.

In two's and three's all those present looked to Harry to see how he wanted to handle this. Harry stared thoughtfully at Magneto as if he was thinking about it.

But internally Harry asked, "Is it ready Lily?"

"Yes," Lily replied.

Harry's right arm shot out with his finger-tips held together pointed towards Magneto. A beam of bluish-jade energy shot from Harry's finger-tips the diameter of a basketball and smashed into Magneto's chest. The light enveloped him until his entire form was glowing. Everyone else present but Harry and Jean had to look away. When the light faded everyone looked back at Magneto to find him looking no different to mortal eyes. Wanda cocked her head at her father.

"Interesting," Wanda said. "What does it do?"

"What does what do?" Scott asked.

"Harry has placed a curse upon my father," Wanda answered.

"Magneto," Harry said in a tone that seemed to carry weight in the very air of the room. Everyone else present suddenly realized they were in the presence of someone with power they couldn't fully comprehend and couldn't hope to match. Jean was the only one who didn't jump at his tone. "For the rest of your days your mutant abilities will fail you if you should attempt to harm an innocent. The curse I have placed upon you is intelligent. It will judge innocence based off of each situation. For example, if someone is being controlled by another and about to harm more innocents your powers will not fail you. Only those present in this room will be able to see you in your current form and know you as Magneto. Everyone else will see you as a different person. Go forth into the world and help. Do no harm."

Steve nodded approvingly at the terms of the curse when Harry finished.

"We'll be keeping an eye on your Magneto," Steve said.

"We all will," Reed added while everyone else present nodded their agreement.

Just then there was an explosion from below.

"It looks like Mystique and Sabertooth have decided to blow the engines that keep this place in the air and leave with all due haste," Harry said as he peered down through the floor. "I suggest we all do the same."

Jean focused on another target and sent a mixture of a telekinetic lance and a fiery plasma beam tearing down through the steel and stone right into the heart of the equipment which made teleportation tricky. Harry then activated his teleportation network and took everyone away from there.

Sorcer Colony, 2 Light-Years from Earth

"That was horrible," Sue said as she finished viewing the WWH feed which showed the fate of the Fantastic Four without Harry's involvement.

"I didn't know I was so vital to the team," Franklin Storm said.

Johnny simply walked up and hugged his father. Franklin had been killed in the Ultimatum wave. Sue also came over and hugged her dad. She then turned to Harry and kissed him, hard. Susan smirked while Reed looked uncomfortable.

"Same sentiment from me bro but I'll let her do the thanking," Johnny said.

In the alternate universe the group had just viewed the Fantastic Four had broken up after the Ultimatum event and Franklin's death. All four members had gone their separate ways including Reed and Sue. Reed had abandoned Sue in her time of need due to logic. He had done it to help save the world. But to Sue it still felt like he had abandoned her, abandoned them.

"I hope you know I wouldn't do that Sue," Reed said as she sat back down next to him. "Abandon you."

"I know you wouldn't," Sue said while squeezing his hand. "Harry is training you well."

Susan snorted at her little sister's response. For that was essentially what the pair of them felt like to one another now, siblings.

"Ok…so we obviously appreciate you even more now that we have seen that. Where have you brought us, Harry?" Franklin asked.

"Susan," Harry prompted.

Susan caused the walls of the room to become translucent. Suddenly the Fantastic Four plus Franklin realized they were in a room hovering in orbit around a planet. The planet looked somewhat like Earth but more lush and primordial.

"Holy shit," Ben said as he looked around. "Where are we?"

"That planet is Sorcer Colony. It will be the seat of the new Terran Empire where my family and my friends will live only," Harry explained. "We are 2 light-years from Earth."

Reed and Sue exchanged an amazed look at that last bit.

"Harry…I wasn't aware there was a solar system like this 2 light-years from Earth," Reed said curiously.

"No one is aware of it since I brought it here. I found planets and the star in a universe devoid of higher forms of life. I assembled the system myself with everything in gravitational equilibrium," Harry explained.

"You designed your own solar system?" Ben clarified, very impressed.

"Well I designed the layout. Making the star and planets was doable but more trouble than it was worth. So instead I just acquired already fabricated parts," Harry explained.

Johnny shook his head and said, "That's freaking crazy."

"We want you to come and live here," Susan invited her family and friends with a welcoming smile.

"Really?" Sue said with surprise.

"Really," Susan confirmed. "This colony is located close to Earth but hidden from detection using Harry's technology. Those who live here will enjoy access to higher levels of technology than the rest of the empire. But you aren't allowed to reverse engineer anything. That doesn't mean you can't try making your own. You just can't use Harry's tech to cheat."

"So you aren't disseminating your full technology base to the human population," Reed said to Harry with relief.

"No," Harry confirmed. "Humanity isn't ready for that. Besides…I want to keep everyone in line and just really don't want to share," Harry admitted.

"Fair enough," Sue agreed.

"We would also like you to be part of a response team to deal with the really big threats that might crop up from time to time in the Terran Empire," Susan suggested. "Harry can probably handle things but a large reason for doing this is for humanity to become self-sufficient. This response team would be a back-up of sorts for humanity once they get up to snuff. Then Harry would be the team's back up."

"So like an bigger version of the Ultimates?" Johnny clarified.

"Something like that," Susan confirmed.

Franklin looked at his children, his future son-in-law, and Ben one by one. He could see it on their faces. Their answer was clear.

"We'd love to join and live here," Franklin said excitedly.

"Excellent," Harry said with a pleased grin. "Let's give you the tour and show you your new version of the Baxter Building which we thought should be the FF Building."

As he spoke Harry caused the cube they were in to begin flying down through the atmosphere into the planet. The cube didn't even experience any atmospheric turbulence the scientists were quick to note. The cube phased through matter in a similar way Kitty Pryde did. That feat alone made them feel confident in the new direction they had accepted for their lives.

Harry sat in MJ's private lounge with her snuggled up on his lap. They were in a rest period in helping with the aftermath of the Ultimatum event. Most of the survivors had been evacuated from the region already. The couple sat watching the news.

"I am here with Whitehouse press representative Tim Crackov," George Raport, a CNN reporter, said from a CNN studio. "George, what is the White House reaction to the current situation?"

"Magneto's attack is a tragedy beyond imagining. The death toll if it hadn't been for Spider-Man would be certainly in the millions if not over a billion. Magneto's death at the hands of several superhero teams only seems just," Tim explained.

"What is being done to deal with the refugees from the New York attack and other sites that were hit hardest?" George questioned.

"This is where it gets tricky. The refugees have pretty much without question decided to take up Spider-Man on his offer of relocation to his colony worlds," Tim answered. "Right now the President and teams of government scientists and personnel are on those colony worlds assuring the safety of the refugees. Spider-Man was only too happy to open up his colonies for us to see."

"Am I correct in understanding that the refugees are no longer citizens of the countries they came from?" George said seeking clarification.

"The leadership of those countries are trying to arrange a conference to discuss the issue. Right now they still retain their citizenships. But the Terran Empire worlds are not in any jurisdiction of any country on Earth. These colony worlds are owned and operated by Spider-Man and his organization. So if you move there you are subject to what laws exist there," Tim explained.

"Are there any preliminary findings?" George asked.

"Our legal teams are still analyzing the laws on record. But by all accounts it is as exactly as the information Spider-Man has provided suggests," Tim explained. "Spider-Man has expressed that he is willing to allow visits by people before they actually take the plunge and move there. Obviously the refugees displaced by the attack didn't have the luxury to wait. But from what I've heard from the President the refugees aren't overly put off by that. The President expects Earth's population is going to get a whole lot smaller pretty quickly."

The interview went on for some time but generally Harry liked what he was hearing.

"Should we start calling you King Harry?" MJ teased her boyfriend after they finished watching the interview.

"I kind of like the sound of that. But it implies a monarchy. I guess monarchy is better than dictatorship," Harry mused.

"You're British originally," MJ pointed out. "Monarchy kind of goes with the territory."

"A constitutional monarchy," Harry agreed. "On my colonies what I say goes but I may think about relaxing things a bit and giving the people more freedom later once they get established."

"I think you'd make a great king in any case," MJ pointed out.

"You'd make a great queen…so would all of my other ladies," Harry said.

"I do love you so," MJ told him, her tone turning from teasing amusement to more serious and fond.

"And I you," Harry said as he leaned down and kissed her.

No more words were spoken for some time.

UM – HP – UM – HP – UM – HP – UM – HP – UM – HP – UM – HP – UM – HP – UM – HP

Harry was floating in orbit around Earth starring down at the planet which he had arrived on after leaving his old universe. His thoughts were reflective, focusing on all he had done since his arrival. He also thought about all he had left behind.

"A knut for your thoughts," Hermione said.

It was then that Harry realized that the oxygen he had kept surrounding his body in a bubble had been expanded without his realizing it. Harry spun to behold three beautiful women that looked as good as angels to him. Hermione, Fleur, and Nym stood side by side. The light of the sun was visible around them. Harry felt his eyes instantly tear up.

"I think his thoughts are pretty clear," Fleur suggested in a fond tone.

"And worth more than a knut," Nym also teased.

Harry rushed forward and enveloped the three women in a hug.

"I can't believe you are here," Harry said telepathically with relief in his thoughts, too choked up for words.

"Believe it Harry," Hermione whispered as she kissed him, tears in her own eyes.

Hermione's chocolate eyes expressed her depth of love for him. Then Nym turned his head with her left hand and kissed him just as deeply.

"We aren't going anywhere without you again," Nym assured.

Harry just held his lovers quietly for some time, basking in their presence and the feeling of them pressed against him. Nobody wanted to let go but it was Fleur who finally had a suggestion.

"I think we'd be better served reuniting in a bed," Fleur suggested.

"She has good ideas," Nym said with agreement in her tone.

Hermione showed her agreement by tapping into the transporter network using her bio-net A.I. and sending them to one of Harry's private rooms within the compound that was the Parker Residence.

"Less talk…more shagging," Hermione whispered as she tore at Harry's clothing.

"What she said," Fleur added while removing one of Harry's shoes and then switching to using her mouth to kiss his stomach.

57 Hours Later

"I thought my brain was going to explode on that last bit there," Hermione said with a satisfied tone.

"Something exploded but it wasn't your brain," Nym said from where she lay panting on Hermione's other side.

"Ok…we've never done it that hard or for that long," Hermione said suspiciously.

"You can thank Fleur for that," Harry said. "Whatever changes she has gone through has made her oh so more interesting.

Fleur had her head resting on Harry's belly and looked like the cat that got the cream. Hermione and Nym were lying on either side of Harry.

"No complaints…was just curious," Hermione said sleepily.

"As always," Nym suggested teasingly before yawning.

Harry felt himself drifting off to sleep so very satisfied after being reunited with his original three lovers. He let slumber claim him and slept fantastically.

Epilogue – 15 Years Later – Terran Empire Year 15 – Sorcer Colony – Potter-Grey Home

Harry left his bedroom to find his two children already at the counter eating breakfast. Sansa was 10 and her brother Jon 7. Both children were watching a holo-program from the Terran network.

"Hey there munchkins," Harry greeted his children with a fond smile as he sat down to the left of Jon and mentally told Lily what he wanted.

Moments later his poached egg dish materialized before him.

"Morning daddy," Sansa said between bites.

"Good morning dad," Jon added. "What are we doing today?"

"Today your daddy is taking us to a festival on Prega Colony," Jean said as she walked into the kitchen looking gorgeous fresh from the shower.

Jean's eyes danced with Harry's as she met his gaze. Jean had the look of a woman who had just been made love to in a very satisfied way and with reason. She and Harry had just had a fantastic time showering together.

"Will Rob be coming?" Jon asked.

Rob was Jon's half-brother from Ororo. The two were of an age with one another and good friends. Ororo and Jean were big fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series hence the naming of their children. They were such big fans that Harry's two wives had asked him to patronize the author of the series. It was one of the hobbies of the two ladies to help the author produce a successful TV series that had been running for the last twelve years.

"Of course," Harry assured. "Ororo and I are getting him ready right now."

Jon seemed happy at this news and returned to eating. Jean sat down next to her husband and started eating. Harry loved this feeling of being with one of his families. The citizens of the Terran Empire would probably be surprised at the way he chose to live his life. But he loved it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Each of Harry's families lived in their own separate home yet close by one another. A version of Harry lived in each home. He had gotten better accustomed to maintaining multiple forms simultaneously over the years thanks in large part to Fleur's help. Some of the ladies like Fleur, Hermione, and Nym chose to live with their husband in a single home and share a bed with him. Others like Jean preferred one-on-one time with Harry.

"What time will we be leaving?" Sansa asked curiously.

"In about forty-five minutes if you two are ready," Jean answered.

The kids had finished their meal and exchanged glances before they disappeared with matching grins.

"I'm amazed we are surviving those two," Harry admitted. Sansa and Jon had mischievous streaks that would do the Marauder's proud and the combined power of both of their parents. While they didn't have the Phoenix entity within them…they still had a measure of her power. "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

Jean laughed and said, "I think we do fantastically."

Harry grinned at his wife. Marriage and motherhood suited Jean. Harry had made it legal in his empire to be married to multiple people.

"If only others had your confidence," Harry mused.

Jean curiously took a look into her husband's mind through the telepathic link she had established with him long ago to see what he was talking about.

"Kitty is fretting again," Jean said with a sigh. "Well you seem to be a good job calming her down."

Kitty was pregnant with her second child. She was always worried she wasn't doing things right.

"Fleur has promised to stick close to Kitty today and see to her," Harry said. "So that will help."

Fleur, Hermione, and Nym were the unofficial leader wives among Harry's ladies. The Wifely Trio as they had been nicknamed had chosen not to have any more children anytime soon if ever. All three had produced their children long ago. So the Wifely Trio had taken to helping the younger wives in raising children.

Jean looked off in the distance for a moment towards the Munroe-Potter household and then smirked.

"Come on…Ororo wants to get in a quickie before we go," Jean said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet.

Harry let her lead him towards the garden between the households where they could tell no children were at that moment.

"I bloody love my life," Harry couldn't help but think as he was dragged towards a very fun time.

It was good to be King and even better to be King Harry Potter of the Terran Empire – Immortal Spider-Mage.
