ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER, at Tony's funeral, Pepper and Morgan walked down the steps of the cabin, where Tony lived. Although she was allowed to see the video, Y/N stood outside with Bucky, Sam and Wanda knowing she wouldn't leave them behind even though she had been permitted to view it.
They were all surrounded by the open sky, while the wind blew through their hair.
With flowers in hand, the two walked down the stairs, and Pepper nodded at Y/n with a small smile on her face. In response, Y/n nodded her head, wearing a black suit Bucky had given her, as she did not have any suitable clothing for a funnel.
Consequently, he was left wearing a black bomber jacket and black jeans. A bouquet of two flowers was placed in the lake, edging away from the shore, each with a small item, including Tony's reactor. An inscription on the front indicated the donor. 'Proof Tony Stark Had A Heart'.
Keeping her hands in Morgan's, Pepper kneeled over the edge of the lake, holding hands. The three of them were behind Steve, who was accompanied by Rhodes and Happy.
In silence, Peter stood behind his aunt May, whose hand pressed on his shoulder as he remained silent. There was a close intimacy between Thor and Bruce as the latter caressed his jaw with his hand while the former was slung.
Stephen Strange and Wong stood quietly before Scott and his family, facing them. The others surrounding Peter Quill, Drax, Nebula, Rocket, Groot, and Mantis stand a few feet away, giving the others some breathing room.
The three leaders had their hands raised silently before themselves, showing respect for the fallen heroes. Okoye and Shuri wore black clothing, while T'Challa wore Wakandan attire, with dark purple outlines on the sleeves.
As a family, the Barton's were holding each other together.
Wanda positioned one hand on Y/n's back, while her arm was around Bucky, who had tucked his own hands into the pockets of his jacket, resting his head on top of Y/n's while her head was on his shoulder.
In a silent gesture, Sam patted Bucky on the shoulder.
Bucky did not believe he should be here considering everything that occurred. However, Pepper informed Y/n that he would be able to join even if he and Tony did not get along very well.
The ceremony was conducted by only Harley, unaware that Secretary Hill and Maria Hill were both standing next to each other, both keeping their distance from the crowd.
Carol stood in front of the cabin with her hands crossed in front of her. She had an expression of stoicism on her face. On the porch of the home, Nick Fury appeared that be wearing the same eye patch as before.
Throughout the remainder of the ceremony, all participants stood silently. When paying their respects to the same individuals, no words or explanations are required at this time. Despite the fact that many individuals could not imagine living their lives without them.
Y/n closed her eyes as she thought of Natasha. She had still not gotten time to talk to any members of her family.
⁂
Still at the lake, Y/n, Wanda and Clint are standing together after the ceremony, a comfortable silence envelopes them; they are looking at the lake in front of them, the gentle breeze of the Fall blowing against them both.
There was a sharp smell of the lake, "You know, I wish there was some way I could let her know," Clint observed while glancing over to Y/n who was putting her hands in the oversized pockets of her suit. "That we won. We did it."
