A Touch of Cosmic Destiny

By: Sandreline

Hello everyone! I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to get an update out to you. I had run into a bit of writer's block, and needed to watch the Marvel movies and re-read my story again to get the muse to wake back up.

Don't forget to go to Amazon Kindle and look up "Her Motivation" and "Scent of Attraction" by me, K Williams. I would greatly appreciate your support in my published works that I have so far put out. More of those to come!

You've all waiting long enough, on to the next chapter!

Chapter 19: A Touch of Nuptials

Serenity's cheeks were tinted pink and Steve stared in embarrassment down the hall.

"Did we do that?" The Lunarian asked her fiancé.

"I think we did," Steve said. "To be honest, my memory is a bit foggy. All I can remember is you." He looked a little sheepish at his confession while he continued to survey the dented walls.

"Like I said, now we know why couple's argue." She paused. "Do you think the others saw this?"

"I hope not," Steve answered. He turned to look down at his future wife. "Is there anything you can do to fix this?"

"I can, yes," She answered, giving a wave of her hand and letting her powers wash over the hall. "Hopefully we can escape any comments from Tony and the others."

"Let's hope, beautiful." The blonde Irish man told her as he took her hand in his own, bringing it to his lips as he brushed her knuckles with a kiss. "Shall we go tell everyone?"

Serenity smiled warmly. "Yes!"

The cat calls that greeted the couple as they entered the dining hall informed them that they yes, both teams were very much aware of the dents that had been made in the walls. Steve gave a grumble before placing two fingers to his mouth, and letting out a piercing whistle. "That's enough," Steve began. "We have something to tell you all."

Tony smirked. "Serenity's pregnant already. I knew it! Pay up, people."

Serenity blushed red. "No!" She growled.

Jane looked at the couple for a moment, her eyes calculating, before looking up at Thor. He shrugged, clearly not understanding her silent question. She turned her brown eyes back to the couple. "Are you two…?"

Steven and Serenity looked at each other for a moment, sharing a secret smile before turning their attention back to their friends. "Serenity and I were discussing a few matters last night," he said before he was interrupted by several snorts from Tony, Clint, Sam, and Natasha. "We decided that with current events being what they are… we are going to get married. Tonight."

Various reactions went around the table, the loudest being Sam who let out a whoop. Jane gave a happy squeal while Thor gave a deep rumble of approval. Natasha smirked as Clint and Banner gave a slow applause while Tony choked on his mimosa. Gamora and Rocket gave no response, though Drax did give a cheer, and Groot danced in his pot. Peter was the only one silent.

Luna wasted no time in running to her charge, leaping into the young woman's arms and purring loudly. "We're so happy for you," Luna said, rubbing her head on Serenity's chin.

Artemis jumped to Steve's shoulder, more composed than his wife. "We'll take care of everything." He affirmed to the couple.

"Not everything!" Sam exclaimed. "I'm the self appointed Best Man. I have a favorite past time to fulfill."

"Cheers to that!" Tony agreed.

"I think we can work a little something out for Serenity," Jane spoke as she looked over the Natasha and Gamora for approval.

Steve held out a hand. "No, no. Please god, no." He pleaded. That was the last thing he wanted.

"I don't need anything, really." Serenity added to that. "We just wanted to let everyone know; we'll have it in the gazebo during Earth's sunset."

"But who is going to marry you?" Clint asked. "It's not like there are priests here on the Moon."

Serenity let out a secretive smile. "I have a friend who has a far more superior authority."

"It's that look again," Tony comment. "It creeps me out."

"I agree with the Man Who Drinks Too Much Whiskey." Drax added. "Your facial expression makes this one want to retreat to another room."

This caused a round of laughter around the table, and Tony to scowl. "We're also going to invite Phil and his team," Steve added.

"Well then we better get to it!" Luna stated, leaping down. "There is much to be done."

"Where are the decorations kept in this place?" Jane wanted to know.

"Wait," Serenity cried out. "This is supposed to be simple!"

The black feline huffed. "No charge of mine, let along the Queen of the Moon, is going to have anything less than special, no matter how simple." Luna gave a twitch of her tail as if she was offended. "Come on – girls with me, the rest of Artemis!"

"Seriously, you don't…" Steve began to argue, until Luna sent him a scathing glare. He elected to remain silent on the matter, and everyone followed their respective feline out of the hall. Tony and Sam were discussing an impromptu bachelor party despite Steve's request.

The blonde Captain gave a groan. "It's pointless." He said as he placed the hand that was not on Serenity's waist on his forehead.

The Lunarian giggled, leaning into his side. "Come on, we have a call to make for our officiate."

Only Phil and Mae accepted the invitation to join them on the Moon, but it was a great honor to both Serenity and Steve, and Phil as well.

"You two are always full of surprises." Phil said, giving Serenity a hug before clasping arms with Steve. "Thank you for letting us be here."

"Of course," Serenity smiled warmly.

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

A whistling sound filled the air suddenly, causing everyone to look up. "Missile incoming!" Clint shouted in warning.

Serenity let out a laugh. "That's not a missile!"

Just before the blinding light impacted in the Moon Kingdom's garden, it stopped. Floating for a moment above the ground, the light slowly faded and the clicking of heels could be heard. As the light faded, the form of a woman wearing golden armor appeared, a wicked smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

"Lexi!" Serenity smiled as she moved to welcome the new comer with a hug.

The strange woman hugged the Lunarian, as the onlookers watched in confusion. Several, however, were in awe.

"It cannot be," Drax whispered.

"By Odin, is that?"

"No way." Gamora stated in disbelief.

"What are we missing?" Bruce inquired.

Serenity pulled away from the strange woman, who's uniform melted away to reveal a long teal gown. Her hair was as long as Serenity's, the golden locks at the top of her head melting into a maroon river."This is Sailor Galaxia," Serenity introduced to everyone, "She is going to perform the ceremony. Think of her as my general; she is the second strongest Sailor in the whole universe."

"Hello, everyone." The beautiful woman smiled.

"She's single, right?" Peter asked.

"Well, Sere," The galaxy's champion teased, "You seem to have surrounded yourself with even stranger creatures than normal."

Serenity gave an innocent shrug of her shoulders. "What can I say?"

"Wait a minute," Phil began to ask. "Does that mean that she is…?" Serenity cut him off with a pleading look, not wanting to get into the dark of her past. "…right." Phil regarded.

"Everything is ready to go. Now that everyone is here, shall we?" Artemis asked.

Steve turned to Serenity, his silver-haired angel smiled lovingly up at him as he offered his arm. "We shall."

Ok, it's short. And crappy. Like, a big bomb of crap. I am having the worst writer's block for this story! I'm sorry everyone. I'll force out another chapter this week.
