Witch Way Now?

Epilogue

Cole's eyelids slowly broke apart allowing the bright morning sunshine to spill in. He rubbed his eyes lightly and glanced over at the clock.

"7:35am," he grumbled. "Don't get to sleep in much anymore."

Moments later Cole was up and sitting on the side of the bed rubbing his face and trying to wake up. It had been almost 10 months since Nexus caused the apocalypse and Cole had reached the end of his long mission.

He often daydreamed and thought back on all the lives he was forced to take in pursuit of ultimate peace and tranquility. At times he felt wrong and wondered if he had done the correct thing but whenever he began doubting himself the Sisters of Fate words filled his brain...

"We used you to bring about a new era of entertainment,"

"An era of things we have not foreseen,"

"Things that you get to write in the history books Cole Turner," all three sisters saidin unison.

"Things I get to write in the history books," Cole whispered finally finding the strength to get out of the bed. He had been saying that line every morning when he would wake up since his last meeting with the sisters.

Cole stretched and yawned while reaching for a robe lying on a dresser beside the bed. As Cole began his usual morning routine of showering, dressing and eating his mind drifted off again. The final battle with Leo replayed in his mind over and over sometimes through nightmares. Cole would wake up in cold sweats thinking about how he almost ended the entire Halliwell bloodline all together.

From the information he gathered Phoebe and Paige's daughters were still alive somewhere in the world. He found evidence of their existence but had not been able to locate them and really didn't want to. It seemed like no matter what Cole's pursuit somehow someway a trail of blood would be left behind him.

Cole stood in the mirror and fixed the black tie around his neck. He was dressed in all black suit with shiny black shoes and a perfectly ironed white collar shirt. Hercules and Thor came into the room through the doorway. Their bodies had healed from the final battle but scars still spotted their fur all over.

His pets rubbed and nudged up against him purring for affection. They didn't get to see much of Cole anymore these days. Cole had been appointed the Secretary of Human & Magical Relations by the U.S. Supreme Court not long after everything was said and done. He was in charge of all Magical & Human delegations, relations, military movements, conferences, and just about anything one could think of.

Sure since magic was no longer a secret a lot of magical beings used their different variations of teleportation powers as transportation openly. Cole was never late for important meetings and things of that nature but he hated attending them.

He was glad the killing was over but now the political part of the plan was in full effect. Cole had not thought this far into his destroy & rebuild plan, he only got as far as destroy. So he was unprepared for the boring dinner parties, seemingly endless meetings, lectures, bill passing's, congressional hearings, etc.

Cole at the time was the only magical person working as a bridge between magical beings and the governments of the world. After killing Nexus Cole had stopped calling the destruction of San Francisco the Armageddon because it only happened in San Francisco. He didn't take into account the world wide display of destruction and relevance of magic and magical beings. The entire planet was rocked and shaken to the very core. Families were torn apart by religious views when finding out relatives were witches, wizards, and other magical beings.

Governors, mayors, high standing people in political positions all around the world were stepping forward and showing magical ties. But Cole was the only one working on his duties the others already had positions. Some political figures in foreign countries were assassinated because they were witches, elves, or wizards. Still Cole pressed forward and for the most part his dream of magical and non magical coexistence was becoming a reality.

Today Cole was due at the White House in 15 minutes to meet with the President of the United States and then give a speech about magical non-magical coexistence. Cole gave his pets a few rubs on the head then faded away in flames.

Seconds later he stepped out of fire and into an empty seat in a huge congress room. Different representatives from all the nations in the world sat around the room each displayed by a holographic projection of their nations name. Cole's seat was directly in the front and surprisingly not many were scared by his sudden appearance.

Cole liked to mess with them and use different forms of transportation whenever he appeared somewhere. Sometimes he would step from flames other times orbs and so on. The flames always scared a few people and got Cole a quick laugh before the hours of boredom.

Cole had been at so many meetings now that some representatives weren't afraid when he appeared. Those of course were the representatives that agreed with magical non magical co-existence. Some representatives were afraid and of course their nations were the ones responsible for magical being assassinations.

After the final representative was present the Secretary of Defense took the podium and began fully elaborating on anything that was on any importance. Now it had officially started, this man would at least talk for 2 hours himself. That's not including the other four to five representatives that would also be talking for at least 2 hours.

Cole folded his arms across his chest and let his mind drift away as he usually did when this happens. He thought back to when he informed all the white lighters in the world they were no longer babysitters and slaves to Elders orders. They were free to have lives and marry as they see fit. Cole did this to help his own burdens and grief, killing the Halliwells weighed heavy on his heart at the time. He knew Piper and Leo would have liked the new freedom.

Now demons, elves, trolls, white lighters, witches and all walked freely throughout the cities of the world. No longer looked at as strange or freakish, satanic or hideous, they were citizens slowly but surely working towards being completely accepted in society. Cities with the highest populations of magical beings, such as San Francisco, suddenly turned into safe havens for magical beings.

Cole had become the world's most eligible bachelor overnight. He was declared the strongest man in the world, immortal and un-aging, received dozens of military awards for stopping the Apocalypse, his sudden celebrity also granted him millions of dollars. Cole was now rich and all powerful, ruling the world with an open palm full of help.

Years passed by so fast Cole stopped keeping track. He slowly but surely achieved his dream of complete magical and non magical peace only to run into another wall. Now that all nations were aligned and together they all fought each other. For a time Cole let the nations of the world battle it out until finally having enough and bringing all the war to an end.

Cole saw that to truly have and maintain peace he would have to watch over the world and every human being alike to enforce his rule of peace. This lead to the creation of W.P.B (World Police Brigade) which he was the commanding officer was. Cole established a headquarters in every nation that employed both humans and magical beings alike with clean records.

The old police and law system was melted and destroyed, replaced by the W.P.B and Cole Turner. After the creation of the W.P.D crime worldwide fell at a steady 15% every year until finally years later there was no crime at all. With nearly 200 years of flourishing jobs 3rd World Countries had grown into powerful nations and worldwide debt was cleared.

Thanks to the flourishing jobs and nationwide well being upper-class rose to new levels, middle-class became upper-class, and lower-class became upper-class. Poverty and homelessness disappeared over the years and most people had begun to worship Cole as an actual GOD, proclaiming him Jesus and other things that Cole denied over and over again. He told the world he was simply using his lifetime for something constructive.

Sometime during his constructive period Cole turned his efforts towards cleaning up the environment. This of course over years and years was accomplished. Yes over the next hundred years the world would flourish and prosper under the watchful eye of Cole Turner. But that doesn't mean he didn't have any more adventures.
