That would be a no • Steve Rogers [6]

Part 25

We all stood inside Tony's lake house, in suits and black dresses. Lily was up in Steve's hands.

I placed Tony's suit mask on the coffee table and his recording started playing.

"Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back... it's in celebration. I hole families are reunited. I hope we get it back. And something like a normal version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me 10 years ago that we weren't alone, let alone to this extent, I mean, I... I wouldn't have been surprised but come on, who knew? The epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play. And for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have to find a way to grow up in. So I'd thought, better record a little greeting, in case of an untimely death. On my part. Not that death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow... it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. That's the thing. Then again, that's the hero gig, right? Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for?" He got up off his chair. "Everything is gonna work out, exactly the way it's supposed to." Tears streamed down my face. He leaned down to look at Morgan. "I love you 3000." The recording has stopped.

We walked outside. Everyone came to his funeral. Every single person who knew him. Tony Stark is gone.

Pepper and Morgan sailed flowers in the river while, Happy, Rhodey, Peter, Steve, Lily and I stood straight behind them.

I looked back at Peter and gave him comforting smile, even though none of us were able to smile.

I walked over to Wanda who stood by the river when I saw Clint walking away from her. "Hey W." I said to her.

"Hey." She said weakly. "I miss him."

"I know you do. I miss Nat. I had to explain Lily why Auntie Nat isn't here with us."

"Mamma!" I heard a tiny voice behind me. I looked back and saw Lily running towards me.

I smiled to her and lift her in the air. "Hey Lils." I said. "Lily, I want you to meet someone. That's Wanda." Wanda smiled towards her. "Wanda, this Lily WP Rogers." I said.

"WP?" Wanda asked me confused.

"It's Wanda Peggy." Lily answered. "Just like you."

Wanda smiled towards me.
