Chapter 10
A full-on party was happening at SHIELD, although several couples had eventually skipped out, intent on pursuing their own private parties. Jack and Ianto never even left the TARDIS; the moment they stepped foot onto the ship Jack had dragged Ianto off to their bedroom and locked the door behind him. Clint had at least waited until they were back at SHEILD before he hauled Coulson into a passionate kiss that robbed everyone who witnessed it of their breath; the last anyone saw of them was Clint was groping Phil's behind. Natasha had grabbed Pepper by the hand and had dragged the redhead off somewhere, and nobody wanted to even think of what Balthazar and Gareth were getting up to.
The Doctor sighed as he watched Donna get into a glaring match with Fury before the feisty redhead grabbed the leader of SHIELD by his jacket and pulled him into a kiss that left everyone who wasn't drunk or busy making out with their own partners staring at them in shock. With a sinking heart, the Doctor knew Donna's days of travelling with him were coming to an end and that made him feel very lonely.
Marion shook her head as she came to stand next to the Doctor, eyes focused on the new couple. "Donna is going to be good for Fury; she'll keep him in line whether he likes it or not." The Doctor nodded silently, already hearing the quiet of the TARDIS without his friend there to liven things up. Marion gently nudged the Doctor with her shoulder. "Hey, if you'd like I'll stay with you until you find someone new to show the stars and all of time to."
The Doctor favoured Marion with a gentle grateful smile. "I'd like that."
'It's just not fair. I should be off somewhere screwing Castiel and Sam into a mattress!' Dean grumbled as he swallowed the last of his beer. 'But noooooo, Sammy, my Sammy's too busy drooling over blondie.' Dean scowled as he watched Sam laugh at something Thor was saying.
"Is he flirting with our Sammy?" Castiel growled as he watched Thor reach out and touch Sam's face.
For the first time ever, Dean didn't jump when Castiel appeared next to him. "I think we ought to remind Thor just who Sammy belongs to." Dean grinned wickedly as he shared a knowing wink with Castiel.
Sam grinned happily as he watched Dean and Castiel approach with lusty hunger burning in their eyes. "It's been nice talking to you, Thor, but I'm about to be ravished." Giving the confused God of Thunder a wink Sam cocked an eyebrow as he waited for his lovers to get closer.
Loki rolled his eyes at the lost look in his brother's eyes. "His lovers don't approve of you flirting with Sam and neither do I," Loki whispered in Thor's ear. "You're being a very naughty boy."
Light dawned in Thor's eyes as he whirled around to pull Loki into his arms. "I believe we should retire to our bedchambers and I can remind you just who it is I belong to," the blonde-haired man purred lustfully in Loki's ear, loving the shiver he received in response.
Dean scowled as Thor and Loki disappeared in the blink of an eye just as he and Castiel reached Sam; now the Norse God wouldn't see how forceful he could be when it came to claiming his lover. "Come on, it's time to go. You know we don't share well with others," Dean growled as he looped his arms around Sam's waist and pulling the man against him. "It's time we remind you just who you belong to," Dean hissed as he kissed Sam deeply.
Not liking to share his lovers' displays of affection with prying eyes, Castiel placed his hands on their shoulders and the three of them disappeared in a blink. Reappearing in their guest bedroom at the Avenger Tower, Dean forced himself to part with Sammy's tempting mouth. It had been too long since the three of them had a chance to make love all night long, to reaffirm the bonds between the three of them, and he didn't want to waste a single minute.
Castiel closed his eyes as he felt Dean's lips on his, he loved the softness of his lover's mouth. Sam felt a familiar warmth pool in his stomach as he watched Dean and Castiel kiss; it always got him hot and bothered to watch the two of them together. A tiny whimper escaped his lips, drawing Dean and Castiel's attention back to him.
"I think we need to punish Sammy for flirting so blatantly flirting with Thor in front of us." Castiel's eyes darkened with lust and possessiveness.
Dean grinned wickedly. "Oh yeah," he purred darkly as he and Castiel stalked ever closer to Sam, their eyes promising to make sure that everyone including Sam himself, knew that Sam was theirs.
Sam shivered with anticipation, knowing he had poked the beasts perhaps a little bit too hard. 'I'm not going to be able to sit for days and I wouldn't have it any other way.'

The next morning saw Jack, Ianto and Tosh saying good-bye to their new friends; it was time for them to return to Torchwood.
"You're not going back with us, are you?" Jack asked; no one had missed the fact that Owen had arrived with Maria that morning.
Owen gave Jack a rueful smile. "I have a chance at real happiness here, Jack, but more important, I'm feeling something I haven't felt since Katie and I'd be a fool to let it slip through my fingers. I talked to Martha and she's not as happy as she thought she'd be with UNIT and she has agreed to take my place as your team doctor. I plan on going back long enough to get everything sorted and then I'm coming back to SHIELD. Fury wants me to take over as doctor for the Avengers," he grinned mischievously. "Seems my experience with weird life forms make me the perfect person to look after them."
Despite his sadness at losing a team member, Jack clapped Owen on the shoulder. "We're going to miss you but I agree with you, you can't deny yourself a chance at happiness."
A wicked grin spread across Marion's face as she approached them; the difference in her appearance and demeanour was dramatic compared to when they'd first met her. "Well I'm off; there's still a few places that need hope returned to them and all angels have been summoned to help." A knowing look appeared in her eyes as she faced Ianto and Sam, "Oh, Ianto and Sam, congratulations and take it easy on Jack Castiel, and Dean, your mood swings will be killer." With a conspiratorial wink to Mica she vanished from sight.
Dean was unsettled and a lump of worry settled in his belly. "What the hell was that about?"
Gareth shook his head. "Who knows with our sister. She's gotten even more mysterious since becoming an Angel of Hope. It's more than likely she's just pulling your leg."
No one heard Mica hum a lullaby under her breath as she skipped into the TARDIS nor they hear the TARDIS' answering chuckle.
Bobby shook his head as he watched the knuckleheads he called a family; he'd never been happier but despite everything he couldn't get rid of the gnawing feeling in the pit of his stomach. 'This was too easy. Hate went to a lot of trouble to get rid of hope but it didn't even lift a finger to stop us. And I still think it should have been much harder to defeat all those demons. I can't help but feel like we missed something, something big.'

Hidden deep within the center of the world was a prison holding the greatest of all dangers the world would ever, ever face. Hate’s red eyes burned with unholy glee as he stared at the prison before him and he was pleased to see that the first layer of seals had been destroyed, “Hello, brother, it’s been a long time. I’m sure you’re just itching to get out of there and very soon you will be.”
Deep within the prison something ugly stirred, blood-red eyes opened and glowed as a deep-throated chuckle, a dark evil sound that sent shivers down the spine of anyone unlucky enough to hear it, echoed around the cell. “Yes, soon I will be free and the world will be bathed in blood."
The End... for now
