THANOS (2014): I am– inevitable.

[Thanos snaps his fingers, but nothing happens except a metallic "clink." He sees the Infinity Stones are missing. Tony has the stones on his own gauntlet, the gamma radiation coursing through him, to Thanos' shock.]

Tony: And I– am– Iron Man.

Tony snaps his fingers with a loud "CLANG" and a blinding flash of white. Rocket fires at a Leviathan and before it devours him, it crumbles into ash. The Black Order starts crumbling to ash. T'Challa and Quill look around in surprise; Steve looks on in exhaustion, knowing that they have won. Thanos, in horror, looks around and sees his entire army disintegrate. He looks at Steve, who just stares at him. Thanos sits down and mourns before slowly being erased from existence himself. Cut back to Tony. The power of the gauntlet raw energy has left his entire right side fatally injured. He stumbles for a bit before his body collapses besides a pile of debris. Rhodey soon flies in and goes up to Tony to see his long time colleague and friend fading away. He bows his head, knowing the damage was done. Peter Parker soon flies in and sees Tony collapsed on the ground.

Peter: Mr. Stark? [He runs up to his fallen mentor. Tears start to form in his eyes] Hey– Mr. Stark? Can you hear me? It's Peter. Hey. We won, Mr. Stark– We won, Mr. Stark. We won. You did it, sir. You did it. [He kneels]

Tony is unresponsive. Peter breaks down and hugs him.

Peter: I'm sorry– Tony–

Peter is gently led aside to grieve. Pepper Potts sits in front of the fading Iron Man.

Pepper: Hey.

Tony is barely able to move his head, but manages to look Pepper in the eyes

TONY STARK: [quietly] Hey, Pep..

Pepper places her hand on Tony's Arc Reactor and Tony rests his hand on hers. Pepper takes a good look at Tony's fatal injuries.

[pepper kneels]

Pepper: F.R.I.D.A.Y.?

F.R.I.D.A.Y.: Life functions critical.

Tony smiles with tears in his eyes.

Pepper: Tony. Look at me. [She makes sure Tony gets a long look at her smiling face] We're gonna be okay. i will tell y/n, you died a hero. You can rest now.

With that acknowledgement, Tony's arc reactor flickers off for good. Pepper can no longer contain her grief and starts crying on his shoulder. Tony Stark, Iron Man, Earth's Best Defender, died. All the heroes gather, and kneel in honor of Tony.

Scene cuts to Bruce, Steve, nat, Bucky and Wanda

Bruce: Now, remember– You have to return the stones to the exact moment you got them. Or you're gonna open up a bunch of nasty alternative realities.

Steve: Don't worry, Bruce. Clip all the branches.

Bruce: You know, I tried. When I had the gauntlet, the stones, I really tried to bring her back. 

Steve: i know bruce, i will get her back, im not letting wanda spend her life alone 

Sam: You know, if you want, I can come with you.

Steve: You're a good man, Sam. This one's on me, though.

[Steve goes over to Bucky]

Steve: Don't do anything stupid 'till I get back.

Bucky: How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you.

[They both hug each other]

Bucky: bring her back buddy, we need her
