Epilogue

So I'll leave it in your hands now
To come through

You're living in a world with only choices
And what I choose is you

5 years later...

Flare ran down a small cobblestone street, arms ablaze with red-hot flames. A few metres ahead of him was a man running away from a long line of fire chasing after him. The villain reached a short brick building, and swiftly turned around to face the fire that was about to attack him. He placed his hands in front of him in defense and out came a huge wave of water from a nearby fountain.

Flare halted when he saw his trail of fire doused with Tsunami's water wave. Powering up, he threw fireball after fireball against Tsunami's water attack. He was inching closer to the villain, and a few moments later Flare's fist finally connected with his jaw. The mass of water Tsunami was holding splashed down on the ground immediately, and he couldn't return his hold on it quick enough. Flames were in front of his face, and he had no choice but to stand down. He was hopeful that his partner had succeeded their mission, at least if he had, their trip to Prague wouldn't have been for nothing.

As Flare put a pair of neutralizing bands on Tsunami, a body was suddenly hurled through the air and hit the brick wall just beside the two. Both turned to look at the person, who grunted and tried to get up slowly.

Tsunami groaned, "There goes my backup."

"Hey man, sorry, the lady got me good," the wounded villain said weakly, slumped against the rubble.

"Flare?" a female voice said from behind him.

He knew that voice. Turning around he saw the superhero called Lady Force, walking towards them, carrying a silver suitcase.

When she reached Flare and the villains, she glared at the man slumped against the broken brick wall.

"Nice trick Carter but remember your mind games only work on supers who are powered up," she said as she waved a hand at him, showing a black neutralizing band on her wrist. She took it off and proceeded on clipping it on him. Carter was much too tired to fight back so he just resorted to glaring at the super in front of him.

Flare noticed a sonic ray on Lady Force's belt and knew that she used that against Carter since she couldn't use her powers. He smirked to himself.

"So these two working together huh?" she turned to Flare who looked at the silver case she was still carrying.

Lady Force opened it and inside was two plutonium rods, stolen from a superhero centre a few miles from where they were.

"So your villain did take it," Flare said. "Tsunami here dropped a few more of those as he escaped from the centre."

"Yeah, the ground crew saw them," Lady Force replied, and soon they heard the cleanup crew arriving on the scene.

"I didn't think you'd accept a mission all the way to Prague," Flare said conversationally as they walked away from the villains and their prison escorts.

"Well, Carter was my villain from a couple of months ago. When he escaped and was sighted here, I couldn't say no."

Lady Force continued, "Funny how those two partnered up huh? My villain with your archenemy?"

Flare smirked, "They didn't even work well together."

Lady Force smiled; the two villains were still bickering a few meters behind them.

"I'm surprised you're here too Flare, isn't today your big day?" Lady Force asked with a teasing look on her face.

"Yeah, well it won't take me long to get ready for that, I still have the whole afternoon left."

"I bet your friends are panicking as we speak," Lady Force replied, as they opened the doors to a small brick building.

"Will and Zack probably," Flare smirked as he pushed some buttons on a wall panel. The wall suddenly revealed elevator-like doors and the two walked in.

Inside the room were three teleporters, humming quietly to show that they were working.

"Well I better get going then, I might have some more things to do. Like you said, it is a big day. You know how busy it gets," Flare remarked as he typed in the coordinates to his destination.

Lady Force also did the same to the teleporter right beside his'.

"Oh you don't have to tell me," she turned to give him a small smile. "Congratulations Flare. See you around."

Flare and Lady Force stepped on their platforms, ready to leave.

Flare sent her a small smile just before he pressed the button, "Thanks LF, I'll see you soon."

Lady Force winked at him playfully before he disappeared out of sight, and she could have sworn she saw a wide grin on his face before he was gone.

"Do you, Amelia, take Warren as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for all the days of your lives?"

"I do."

"And do you, Warren, take Amelia as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, for all the days of your lives?"

"I do."

"May we have the rings please?"

The best man, Will Stronghold, handed the minister a velvet box containing the white gold wedding bands. The minister gave the rings to both Lia and Warren.

Lia delicately placed the ring in Warren's ring finger, and looked up at him. She could tell he was a little nervous, but she smiled at him nonetheless, hoping to calm his nerves. When he placed the ring in Lia's finger, they locked eyes with each other and Warren finally gave Mia a grin.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the minister announced to all. "You may kiss."

Warren placed his hands on Lia's waist and pulled her closer to him. They shared their first kiss as husband and wife to thunderous applause from their family and friends. Lia's hands were wrapped around his neck, and when they ended their kiss, Lia looked at him closely.

"I love you," she simply said.

"I'll love you forever," Warren pulled her in again and kissed her, reveling in the fact that Lia was now his wife.

The couple faced their guests, smiling broadly, and hand in hand, they walked down the aisle, ready for the road ahead of them.

The End

A/N. Finished! Thank you all for reading this story, and I'd love to hear some reviews, especially responses to my questions in the previous chapter.

Since this story is finally finished, I will finally post a third story in this story-verse. The second one is of course, called "The Ring". The third will be called "Moments", and it'll be a series of one-shots starring Warren, Mia, and all of their friends. Hope to see you all readers in that installment soon!
