Author's Note: Hey everyone. So here's the final chapter. Again I'm pretty overwhelmed but glad to finally see this journey over. To all those who have reviewed I thank you. Your reviews and feedback have meant the world to me. I hope you enjoy.

Tauriel, heartbroken, placed Kili's stone in his dead hand, as Legolas watched them.

Thranduil was now walking slowly through the ruins of Ravenhill, gazing about at the carnage.

Legolas suddenly approached him. "I...cannot go back."

Legolas brushed past his father as he prepared to leave.

"Where will you go?" Thranduil asked

Legolas turned to face Thranduil."I do not know."

"Go north. Find the Dúnedain. There's a young Ranger amongst them- you should meet him. His father, Arathorn, was a good man. His son might grow to be a great one." Thranduil said giving him a mission.

"What is his name?" Legolas asked

"He's known in the wild as Strider. His true name you must discover for yourself." Thranduil answered

They gave a respectful nod at each other, as Legolas turned and walked away.

Thranduil then called after him, as Legolas paused. "Legolas... your mother loved you...more than anyone...more than life."

Legolas closed and then opened his eyes in shock and surprise. Legolas and Thranduil then made a gesture of departure to each other, as then Legolas left as Thranduil watched him leave sadly, bowing his head in grief. He then proceeded through the ruins finding Tauriel still next to Kili's body.

"They want to bury him." Tauriel said the tone of grief being felt in her voice.

"Yes…" Thranduil said understanding her pain at last.

"If this is love, I do not want it." Tauriel said as she heartbrokenly, began to plead with Thranduil. "Take it from me, please! Why does it hurt so much?"

Thranduil approached her slowly with an understanding look in his eyes. "Because it was real."

Tauriel looked up at him in shock. After thinking for a while, she kissed Kili one last time. Thranduil walked away from her as she then heard footsteps and saw Peggy standing there.

"He thought you were meant for more then this. He didn't think of you as a lowly Elf archer. He thought the world of you and only wanted what was best. If one of you survived this battle. He would be glad it was you." Peggy said as she walked towards her and sat alongside her.

Tauriel looked at Peggy with remorse "How do you deal with this? How do you deal with knowing you lost the only person you could ever love?"

Peggy paused as she put a sympathetic hand on her shoulder "I don't know. It's a question I've asked myself once before. And now I'll have to ask it again." Peggy looked out on the horizon as she thought back to her conversation with Jarvis out in the desert "There is always a cost in times of war and darkness. One that I have paid a hundred times over. And I feel I will continue to do so until I'm dead. But that doesn't mean we should forget the moments of happiness we shared with them. We shouldn't cry because things are over Tauriel. We should smile because they happened."

Tauriel said nothing as she sat there taking in Peggy's words.

Peggy sighed as she looked her in the eye "You did everything you could. You believed in him? You respected him? You loved him?"

Tauriel nodded yes to all of these questions "Since I first laid eyes on him."

"Then stop blaming yourself. Allow Kili the dignity of his choice Tauriel. He damn well must have thought you were worth it." Peggy said as she remembered she said the same thing to Steve when he lost Barnes.

"I don't know how I shall be able to walk this world alone." Tauriel said as she got up.

Peggy then placed her hands on her shoulders "You won't be alone."

Peggy gave her one last hug of goodbye "If I'm ever in the neighbourhood. I'll say hi. Do stop in for tea if you're near home would you?"

Tauriel gave a smile and a nod as Peggy turned around and departed leaving her alone.

Peggy then walked off as she met with Odin and his Valkyrie Warriors who had now rounded up Laufey and whatever remained of the Asgardian forces that The Skull had brought.

"I believe this belongs to me." Odin said referring to the Norn Stone as he held it in his hands.

"Well I'm glad to know it's in proper hands" Peggy said acknowledging it.

"You humans do not know of these powers that are beyond you. And yet you foolishly try to control them time and time again not knowing you are residing yourselves to your fate." Odin began "You will never speak of this meeting. You never saw us."

"Who are you exactly?" Peggy asked

"I am a King. Of a realm known only to you mortals as a Legend. And we shall leave it at that" Odin answered

Peggy sighed "I think I've had my fill of Kings. We're not all like Schmidt. Some of us are trying to do good. We just have to try and deal with those who are attempting to disrupt it."

"Well I hope one day to meet a human who can uphold such beliefs" Odin said as he prepared to leave and call upon Heimdall the Gatekeeper.

One of the warriors with African American skin and white face paint walked towards Peggy holding Sousa's crutch that was now broken into two pieces "We found this amongst the towers and their destruction. We figured it belonged to someone you knew."

Peggy took them as she smiled at her "Thank you."

Stepping back Odin and the Valkyrie and their prisoners vanished as a portal opened in the air sucking them into it. Peggy looked behind her as she saw Jarvis standing there with a look of relief knowing she survived.

Jarvis's look then turned to one of remorse as he saw Peggy holding the broken crutch signifying Sousa's death. The two walked over to one another as they gazed out upon the horizon.

"He gave his life." Peggy said to answer his question he no doubt had on his mind "He died with honour."

Peggy looked over as she saw Dugan and his remaining men paying respect to their fallen Commando brothers having found the bodies of Dernier, Sam Sawyer and Pinkerton to join with Morita's "Like so many have today."

"The Dwarves. The people of Dale. They all got their lives back. But at a cost." Jarvis said with regret "One that I know that you pay ten times over now."

"You're right. Only the citizens won. We lost. And I guess we'll always lose" Peggy said as she thought back over everything that had transpired as she looked to Jarvis "I'm glad you're here with me Mr. Jarvis. Here to share this moment of peace. Lord knows we deserve it."

"I am always glad to serve and share these moments with you" Jarvis said as he gave a smile and look of acknowledgement "Peggy."

Peggy was surprised as he dropped the formalities for once so she responded in kind "Edwin."

The two shook hands as they then gripped each other into a hug signifying their friendship and the road they had taken now.

Bilbo meanwhile was sitting by himself and staring off into the distance. Gandalf suddenly came to join him. They sat there, quietly, thinking. Gandalf began to clean out his pipe quite noisily, as Bilbo looked like he was about to object. After a moment's pause, they gave a nod at each other.

The remaining members of Thorin's company went to kneel beside the body of their King, paying him homage as Bilbo and Gandalf, sat and, watched with Peggy and Jarvis joining them.

In Dale, Percy was blowing on a huge horn, as all the townspeople, who had survived were gathered along the walls, staring out reverently at Erebor.

Inside the funerals of Thorin, Kili and Fili were taking place with Thorin being buried with the Arkenstone. The Dwarves, Bilbo, Peggy and Jarvis were walking by paying their respects looking solemn and crying.

Gandalf, Beorn, Radagast who had taken off his hat as a sign of respect, Howard and the remaining Commandos were standing by being silent and reserved.

Gandalf then began to give a eulogy for the fallen King "The King has come unto his own. Under Mountain. Under stone. Send him now. Unto the deep. Unto Earth. Eternal sleep. Under Mountain. Under stone."

The Dwarves bowed their heads as they repeated the words "Under Mountain. Under stone."

"Through all the lands let it be known! The King is dead!" Gandalf proclaimed to the Dwarves who were standing on the stands above watching.

Balin then raised his sword "Long live! The King!"

The Dwarves raised their weapons as they repeated the words "Long live! The King!" Peggy and Jarvis respectfully followed raising their weapons and repeating the same words. Dugan looking to his two other men as they then let out a barrage of bullets acting as a commemorative firing squad as was tradition in the army in memory of the fallen as all the other Dwarves raised their weapons while Dain now crowned the King gave a respectful bow.

Bilbo and Balin began to walk out of the gates of Erebor. Bilbo was now wearing his pack and was prepared to leave.

Balin began to try to persuade him to stay. "There is to be a great feast tonight. Songs will be song, tales will be told and Thorin Oakenshield will pass into legend."

I know that's how you must honour him, but to me he was never that - he was...to me...he was…" Bilbo said being unable to find the words, as Balin smiled fondly at him.

Peggy and Jarvis then walked out with Howard and the remaining Commandos following.

"I don't suppose you can hang on a little longer?" Balin asked turning to them.

"I told Chief Thompson before he was shot I needed to extend my vacation. I think it's gone well beyond that point." Peggy said as she began to think "Although I may need an entirely new one."

"Well, I think I'll slip quietly away. Will you tell we others I said goodbye?" Bilbo asked

"I don't suppose you could do the same for us?" Peggy asked "I don't want too rush but Howard says we're on a time crunch."

"You can tell' em yourselves." Balin said replying to both.

Bilbo looked back and smiled as he noticed the other dwarves standing behind him. He then began to speak to all of them. "If any of you ever passing Bag End, tea is at four - there's plenty of it. You are welcome anytime."

The dwarves bowed to him, as he smiled. He then began to turn away, as he suddenly then turned back. "Eh, don't bother knocking."

The dwarves chuckled, as some of them began wiping away tears.

Bilbo, after waving goodbye, walked toward Gandalf, who was waiting with his horse and a pony for Bilbo.

Peggy walked towards the Dwarves as she began to give them all a respectful goodbye "You lot are loud sometimes. Can be obnoxious sometimes. And you snore, burp and fart in your sleep." Peggy seemed to be giving off negative but harmless qualities at first as she moved further into her goodbye.

The Dwarves didn't care though as they watched her continue.

Peggy then looked back at Jarvis for a moment as she then turned to Dwarves continuing her goodbye "But you are also loyal. Honest. Caring. Strong and brave warriors. And the finest bloody well friends and bunch of men one could ask for in a fight. In life and in death. I would take all of you over the mightiest army. I mean that. And I would be proud to die amongst anyone of you. Daniel Sousa, Jim Morita, Jacques Dernier, Happy Sam Sawyer and Pinky Pinkerton. All those who died in this battle knew this as well and would do so again a hundred times over. As would I like I said. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for taking us in our hour of need even though you did not need too. And if you ever need us. We're just a strange portal away."

The Dwarves smiled as Peggy and her friends prepared to bow before them but instead the Dwarves bowed to her leaving her surprised. They then rose to their feet as Ori handed one final piece of artwork to Peggy as it showed the entire Company standing together with Peggy, Jarvis and Sousa amongst them looking proud and ready for combat holding their weapons.

Peggy smiled as she took it and gave him a kiss on the forehead as he returned to his fellow Dwarves. Peggy then gave Balin one final hug as she walked away.

She turned to find Jarvis not there as she looked over and saw him hugging Tilda and Sigrid goodbye as Bard had arrived to see them off.

"You two have helped me through something that I didn't know I would ever move on from. When I was at my lowest you helped pick me up. And you will always hold a special place in my heart for that. Thank you." Jarvis said with tears in his eyes as he walked away from them both as the two children gave him a wave of goodbye as he gave Bard and Bain a respectful nod as he then went to join Peggy.

Peggy then walked over to Bilbo as she stuck out her hand as he shook it to signify it as a goodbye.

"So I don't suppose we'll be seeing you again? This is it?" Bilbo asked her

"Don't think of this as the Last Goodbye Bilbo." Peggy began "Just think of it as 'We'll see each other again. Someday.'" Peggy then went to hug him as they embraced for a moment before breaking away from each other. "I promise you that."

Over on the side Howard was standing by the portal as it was now open "Come on Peg. Time waits for no one."

Howard had all his inventions ready to go while looking after Peggy, Jarvis and Sousa's share of the treasure which they tried to decline taking but Balin insisted they take it. The Commandos were ready to bring their fallen comrade's bodies home for proper burial and to their families.

Peggy and Jarvis gave one final look back as they followed Howard, Dugan and the other two Commandos away through the portal which then closed behind them. Their journey was now complete. They were going home.

Arriving through the portal Howard looked at those who were waiting for them those being Wilkes, Samberly and Rose.

"They're back!" Samberly shouted in surprise

"What did I tell ya? I told you I would bring them home safe and sound." Howard said as Peggy gave him a look Howard knowing full well they weren't exactly coming back the same people as they were before leaving "Well mostly."

"Where's Chief Sousa?" Rose asked as she noticed him missing.

Those who came from Middle Earth looked at each other in sadness as Peggy gave the answer "He died. As did some of the Commandos."

"We're bringing them back home to their families. It's only fair they are given the sendoff they deserve. Not many do." Dugan said as he went to give Peggy a hug of goodbye "See you later Miss Union Jack."

"Keep on calling me that and you'll find that moustache of your's gone in the morning one of these days." Peggy sarcastically threatened as Dugan and his remaining men left with bodies of their fallen comrades.

Peggy then walked over to Wilkes as he gave her a look of sympathy "I'm sorry about Daniel."

Peggy gave him a look of acknowledgement as she then saw Rose and Howard opening through the chest of treasure.

"Oh my god Peggy. There looks to be hundreds upon hundreds of gold in here" Rose said in shock "Did you marry a rich guy who wasn't Mr. Stark or something?"

"Not exactly. It's a long story Rose." Peggy answered

"Well if it involves you and my husband Miss Carter I'm sure it'll be quite the tale since he's been gone for so long." Ana answered as she appeared in the doorway.

"Ana!" Jarvis shouted in happiness as he ran toward her and lifted her into the air spinning her as he then placed her back down

"You've grown stronger. Have you been working out?" Ana asked

"I've been on the move quite a bit darling. It's a long story as Miss Carter said" Jarvis answered

"Well I guess this is one for the books. Now if you'll excuse me I'm heading home for a bath." Peggy said as suddenly another voice came from the doorway.

"Well don't rest too long Carter. You've already been away long enough." Jack Thompson said as he appeared now alive and out of his coma though his chest was still covered in a bandage

"Jack?" Peggy asked in surprise "You're not dead."

"We're you expecting me to be?" Jack asked

Peggy didn't reply as he turned and walked out the door. Howard then walked up to her as she shook his hand

"Well I must admit Howard I didn't think I'd be thanking you for your screw up but it did bring me somewhere I'll never forget. And taught me things I'll never forget" Peggy said as she let go of his hand.

"Happy to help" Howard answered as he walked away but suddenly turned back "Question. If you were to trying to form an acronym. Would you say Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division or Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division?"

Peggy was taken aback slightly confused "Well I would say both sound like a bloody mouthful."

"Just asking for reference." Howard replied as he left the lab as Peggy followed behind Jarvis and Ana.

A short time later Peggy used some of her treasure and money which once she had converted it to regular money to travel back to New York for awhile. She told Thompson she would be staying slightly longer in L.A. to make sure things were normal as it were again before going back to New York full time. But she needed to catch up with an old friend first.

Sitting in a dining booth she was having coffee with her former roommate and friend Angie as she was laying out to her the journey she had been on recently. "So that's it then."

"Well I'll be darned English that's a story great enough for a book or even a movie! You should write it or sell it to Hollywood when you go back." Angie said enthusiastically "Totally willing to play Tauriel if you give me the call. I'll dye my hair red."

Peggy smiled at her enthusiasm "She would have liked you."

"So tell me what was it like knowing this Thorin Oakenshield guy? He was rich and a little bit of a dick but he came around didn't he? Was he cute? Did you sneak in a kiss from him?" Angie asking pressing for more questions

Peggy groaned a little in embarrassment hearing her friend's questions "Well he snogged me let's say. But we weren't anything like that" Peggy smiled as she thought back to him "He was my friend. One I was glad to know and one I'll always remember."

Angie shrugged as she took the pot away back to the counter "You want a waffle while I'm up?"

"Oh yes definitely." Peggy replied "Believe me I only breezed through the story. It can go on for longer if I go and explain every detail."

"Explain away English. I'm all ears. God know's it's been boring since you left" Angie replied.

Peggy looked out the window as she thought back to the world known as Middle Earth. Would she ever return there? Who knows. But she was confident she would. Someday. She promised Bilbo she would. And she aimed to keep that promise.

Meanwhile back in Hollywood Joseph Manfredi was making his annual visit to the asylum where the committed Whitney Frost resided. Walking over to her door he saw one of the doctors standing there.

"So has anything changed Doc? Manfredi asked

"Well she's mostly the same I'm afraid" The Doctor named Stephen answered "Although she's suddenly now repeating a strange name."

"What's she saying?" Manfredi asked

On the inside of her cell Whitney now being more scarred due to her using whatever she could to open her face up in an attempt to bring the Zero Matter back could only now utter one name that she was suddenly hearing from a world beyond the one she knew "Sauron... Is rising"

Author's Note: So that's it. Agent of Middle Earth (Still not a fan of that title) has finally ended. It's been a long year's worth of work but I'm glad to finally see it end. Your reviews and feedback as I've said before have meant a lot to me going forward and even with this story's end I shall continue to look to them when writing in the future.

So to talk about some things in this chapter I felt Bard briefly appearing to say goodbye was a way to wrap up Jarvis's arc. It's an arc I was glad to have written and hope I did well along with the rest of the arcs in the story. My main thing I hope I did well was character and story. If I can do that then I feel succeeded in that regard.

As for some of the things at the end like I said since things are slightly changed I decided to finally answer the fate of Jack by having him live. Could he go to Middle Earth in the future? Who knows.

As for the future and other stories I do have plans to continue forward. Because they are so tied together I've decided trying to cross over Agent Carter with another series without referencing this one would be hard to do so I scrapped my plans for an Agent Carter and Indiana Jones crossover for that reason and I felt that I wasn't too big into the Indiana Jones series to justify me writing characters from that world even if I liked the first three films and could see that crossover being a thing but I'll allow someone else to take on that challenge.

I may eventually do a crossover between Agent Carter and something else and maybe make it an alternate universe that has nothing to do with the events of these stories. For now they'll have their own separate continuity that I'll be following for awhile and I'll eventually do a crossover with something else maybe when the sequel is done which won't be for awhile yet.

The reasons as for why this story was made were simple. I wanted to have fun and actually finish a long running story for once. I'm a fan of both the MCU and Middle Earth franchises and wanted to cross over their worlds but felt my fellow writer Dr. Matthattan made the best stories when it came to crossing over the Avengers and Middle Earth so I wanted to do something different.

But also I found something interesting recently on Tumblr where someone was doing an analyse of the scene where Peggy talks to Steve about Bucky's choice "The dignity of a choice" which I brought back here in her conversation with Tauriel.

The person said it was one of the most moving scenes in the entire MCU and I agree it could be up there most definitely. Here's what they said:

(If anyone asks me what's the most moving scene in the entire MCU for me, this is it (The dignity of a choice). This is it, without question. Because it's so brief and matter-of-factly, that even myself didn't really comprehend it the first time around — the utter gravity and courage that Peggy would have to possess, in order to stand her ground and accept the consequences of her decision to help Steve in the first place.

If Steve had indeed failed in his mission, she would have borne it alone. Howard was responsible too, but only Peggy would be taking the fall for it. Only Peggy would be incriminated and blamed for Steve's death and all the mess that came with it. She would have been court-martialed, dishonorably discharged, her good standing in the military destroyed forever. But still she risks everything, everything that she has because of her faith in Steve, that when she tells him that he's meant for more, those aren't just thin air and pretty words.

And what's the most often quoted line of the Cap fandom? The dignity of a choice. These are the words that will echo long, long after everything is over. Steve grieves for Bucky, but it's Peggy who honors him. And in the aftermath of CATWS, nothing is more imperative than Bucky being allowed to find his own way again, to allow him to do right by himself as he chooses to. To just let him know that you won't be alone. And all that any one of them can really do is our best, and sometimes the best we can do is to start over.

There's a very Tolkienesque quality to Peggy's quiet heroism and knightliness, in all the ways she perceives the world and how it anchors and guides the people around her.

It's the beating heart of this tale. Credit to Tumblr User Shardsofblu)

I never thought about that comment about the Tolkienesque quality but now I definitely see it and it makes me having Peggy be the central character who crosses over for this story make more sense. Not to mention how I had her fit in well bonding with Bilbo especially because both are invisible and that's not because Bilbo has the Ring in that he get's lost amongst all of this chaos and fighting but remains who he is as does Peggy. Both of them know their value. Anyone else's opinion doesn't really matter.

Two scenes that were never finished for the Extended Edition and only exist as behind the scenes B-roll footage are the scene of Gandalf confronting Thranduil about the gems and Gandalf's Full Eulogy during Thorin's funeral. While I had Gandalf watching the exchange between Thranduil and Legolas I decided to have it be in an earlier chapter and have Peggy be the one who talks about it to give their relationship some closure and show that they weren't so different that both tried to protect something which was the last of someone they love and eventually come to realise they don't need to anymore the gems for Thranduil and Steve's blood for Peggy that Howard gave her to keep safe and not knowing what it was at first.

As for the Eulogy we only get the last bit of it in the Extended Edition but I felt the entire piece was important and shouldn't have been cut down so I restored it. I would have liked to have had Bilbo planting the acorn which was also cut but I wasn't sure where it came during the battle. Maybe one day we'll get a version that has everything in it. Who knows.

So the question you're probably wondering is when will the sequel be seen and where will it take place? Well it won't be for awhile since I just finished this one and I have other stories I wish to work on. It more than likely will be the Lord of the Rings crossover but if you would like to see maybe an original story following shortly after the Hobbit before going to Lord of the Rings I can do that as well. Nothing is set in stone yet despite that stinger with Frost. All Marvel stories have a post credits scene so to speak and whether some of them could be more important then the obvious ones you don't know. For now it's just a stinger that could evolve in the future into a bigger story point in a sequel.

Also another note about that ending as a piece of trivia given how I gave Stan Lee a cameo and the film gave cameos to Stephen Colbert and some others I couldn't leave another Stephen out of this story. That being me so yeah I'm the doctor at the end.

Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten stuff. I'll probably revisit this story in the future to correct some mistakes and maybe add anything I felt I could add that I didn't think to do earlier mostly from the first two Extended Editions which I wasn't following at first but that's only a maybe if I can figure out something to do with them. Again thank you all for reading this story. This is your friend Steve993 signing off and saying...
