I arrive with Clint on his farm and watch as he happily reunites with his family. "Kaitlyn!" Nate shouts as he runs to me. I kneel and extend my arms as he comes over to hug me, causing me to fall over. I start to laugh as Lila and Cooper rush over to hug me.
"I missed you guys so much," I say, kissing Nate on his forehead. Clint and Laura smile and watch as I start to play with the kids.

One Week Later
I was at Tony's house with Pepper, Morgan, Happy, Rhodey, and the rest of the Avengers as we all watched a holographic message of Tony that is projected from his Iron Man helmet. He was sitting backward in a chair.
"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 hope 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. Goodness, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone to this extent, I mean, 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." Tony says.
"So, I thought I'd probably better record a little greeting in the 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 tripping for? Everything is gonna work out exactly the way it's supposed to." Tony gets up from his chair, walks toward the camera, and looks straight at Morgan. "I love you 3,000."

The message ends, and the hologram cuts out.
Pepper walks out of the house while carrying a wreath in one hand, and holding Morgan's hand in another. The rest of us follow behind them as Pepper makes her way to the end of the boardwalk near the lake and sets the wreath on top of the water to float.
