Warning: Swearing
The next month was hectic for Josh. He had to go on public TV telling his side of the story, and many people still didn't believe him about everything. There were hundreds of videos posted about him. The good thing was that their kids were at home from summer break. Any charges against him were dropped. Isabella and Finley, on the other hand, were both in the hospital recovering, also talking with the press, but after seeing the crimes that were committed got 80 years in prison, but after public push back, it was changed to 25 years in prison and community service. This caused new people and people who just wanted to see where everyone went in their little neighborhood. Carlos was constantly overwhelmed by the attention Fenna and Ade kept trying to make them go away, but more kept popping up. Robert found a way to get rid of them. Josh did not know how he had done it, but Ade and Nimuel were pleased with the results, so Josh didn't mind. The whole friend group has been trying to improve their relationship. It's been a long journey. His relationship with his kids is improving, and they all celebrated Mary's birthday. It was amazing seeing some of my old friends deciding to come, but a ton of my friends came there. Then she and her girl friends took a week-long break to get away from the nonsense that plagues us. Robert and Fenna decided to reveal something huge. They all sat down at the house, equally confused. Robert came out with Richard and Nina, saying, "We've been wanting to tell you something for about a couple of months." Then bringing out a knife and a cake, handing one knife to each of his friends. They looked at each other and sliced the cake, seeing the inside with pink and blue. Ade with Richard carefully put down the knife as did everyone, holding back tears, but Carlos, who looked confused. Fenna came out of the other room saying, "We are having twins." Carlos was surprised when everyone started to cry, hugging them. They soon eat the cake and drink a little soda. Fenna looked at Josh and Mary, saying, "I know he's not to your cake level, but I hope you both like it." Josh said in a British accent, "I was a little dry, so I still gave it an A-." Fenna playfully pushed him.
The next week, Josh decided to fix some of his past mistakes as he drove, seeing that the city people started to wave to him, seeing his now recognizable car. He drove to the prison, walked into the front entrance, and talked to the front office. They let him see who he wanted to see every day, Isabella. She looked at him, grunting as she sat down, looking towards the guard placed on the phone speaking to him, "Why are you here?"Josh replied, "Well, the last time we talked face to face was over a month ago, and for different reasons." She didn't say anything. Josh noticed how her hair grew out, her face looked tired and eyes wore down, and the scar that was left on her face. Isabella glared at him, "I hope you never find true happiness, you false god."Josh didn't say much. "Well, I hope you have a better life soon, Isabella." She got up angry, now boiling in a "Once we get out of here, we are going to make sure everyone you old dear is taking away from you!"He pressed her hands against the glass as a bolt of electricity from her handcuff went into her bodyguard to pull her way. "Joshua, you can lie to everyone else, yet you can hide the truth from me!" She was pulled away from the room. People looked at him. He just got up, saying bye to the people, and left the prison. Mary was waiting outside the car with the rest of his friends. He smiled, saying, "I told you I was found on my own."Nimuel shrugged his shoulders. Carlos said, "Forgive us for worrying people about you."Josh rolled his eyes as he unlocked the car they all got in driving. Josh smiled, seeing his friends in the mirror and his wife beside him, sighing to himself.
A woman laughed, seeing Josh and his friends in a large orb. She sat in a completely black room. With thousands of orbs around them, they were all dim light. Her face lit up by the orb, her eyes glowed a tint of red with a smile across her face. She looked over to her brother with his eyes glowing an emerald green, and a green stream flowing and intersecting around him. Saying excitedly, "Brother, Time you need to see this one." She floated the orb over to him, moving one of her orange hairs from her face. His eyes turned back to normal, and he floated the orb closer to him, smoothing his black hair back, saying, "Reality, you need to stop looking at those teenagers. Those mortals' lives are insufficient for Cho's plan," She groaned, saying, "Just looked grumpy pants."He looked at his face illuminated by the light, saying, "Oh, those are actually rather new. My dear sister, this will be good. Maybe it's time to watch these demigods more often." He grinned, looking at his sister, who just groaned, rolling her eyes. Saying, "You always have to make things sound problematic, brother."
The Painter sat there painting the last brush strokes on his canvas. His eyes went wide, saying, "Oh fuck I need to tell Josh this before-" He cut themself off, looking around, pulling paint in the air, looking around the living room, then seeing a slight movement in the air. Throwing his pain, seeing someone unseen freezing their feet in place, they relied themself. It was a man he recognized, saying, "Michael, what are you doing here?" Pain was kicked in the back, about to strike the unseen attacker, before being punched, and he tried to adjust. Before his calf was snapped in half as a full was punched in kicks. He was forced to see Raza looking at him. Michael stretches his body, saying, "So, friend, we need you alive before we can kill." Painter snarled, "Carlos and the others are going to find me no matter what." Adara had another painting that was covered, but he knew it could cause the end of the Multiverse. Raza took the Painter's newly finished painting, as Adara said, "My dear, we need them to come." Raza summoned fire from his hand, saying, "Time to bring the sun." Michael finished tying up the Painter, saying, "Yech, maybe not," Adara added, "That was super cringe to say, my guy." Raza rolled his eyes as the house burned down with everything inside. Raza opened a portal, throwing the Painter over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Raza saying, "I hate you guys," Michael saying, "You want to be saying that later in bed?" Raza said, "I said we are not doing that anymore." Michael didn't say anything but was smirking to himself. Adara moved a strand of her orange hair, saying, "You guys are weird." They walked through the portal as the fire spread across the sky, and smoke rose into the inky, star-filled sky.
