They share a look

The next day

Nat finds Clint

Nat: You know killing doesn't bring them back.
Clint: And how would you know?
Nat: Because I've felt it.
Clint: I turned around and they were gone. Completely gone.
Nat: I'm sorry Clint. We'll find a way to fix everything.
Clint: Don't. Don't do that. Don't give me hope.
Nat: * grabs his hand* I'm sorry I couldn't give it to you sooner.

Nat gets Clint back at the Compound

Scott arrives outside

They let him in

Scott explains about going back in time to fix what Thanos did, bring everyone back

They go to Tony's

With Tony

Tony walks outside the little play den Morgan has

Tony: * claps his hands* Chop, chop. Its chow time.

No answer

Tony: Morwoona.

Morgan comes out of her little play tent with an Iron Man glove on and Peppers blue and gold Iron Woman mask

Tony: Woah. Where did you get this?

Tony takes off the mask

Morgan: In the shed.
Tony: It's Mommy's. Not that she'll ever use it.
Morgan: * smiles* Sorry Daddy.
Tony: It's ok sweetie. Come on. Let's get inside.

Tony picks up Morgan

Steve, Nat, Clint and Scott arrive in Steve's car

Tony locks eyes with them

Tony: * nods his head to Steve* Rogers.
Steve: * nods his head to Tony*
Tony: Go inside sweetie. Find Mommy and your sister. Tell your sister to come outside. Tell them we have visitors.
Morgan: What about you?
Tony: I'll be ok. Go on.

Morgan runs inside

Tony, Nat, Steve, Scott and Clint sit on the porch

Y/n comes outside

Y/n: Hey Pop. What's going on? Morgs told me we had--

Y/n locks eyes with Nat

Y/n: Company.
Tony: Yeah. Sorry kid.
Y/n: Don't be. What's going on?

Scott explains about time travel idea through the Quantum Realm

Y/n: Let me guess.... You want to go back in time... and get all the Stones just to bring everyone back?
Scott: Yes.
Y/n: How can we even be sure it'll work?
Scott: Have you seen any time travel movies?
Y/n: Yeah. Your point being?
Scott: All of them have theory to it. If we use that we could manage to build a time machine and go back, before the whole Thanos situation happened.
Tony: Except we can't. It's impossible and even if we could its a suicide mission. We'd risk never seeing anyone again. We'd risk talking to people we aren't supposed to.
Steve: But what if we don't?
Y/n: It is a common rule in time travel not to talk to past selves. But sometimes, even in movies it happens and its a big risk. We can't risk our reality collapsing.
Tony: Look I get it. You want to bring everyone back. But we can't do that. Because they're gone. I have a life here now. I have two daughters. Both look up to me. One is a grown woman and can make her own decisions. The other a little girl who needs her father and sister.
Nat: You've completely lost hope. Both of you have.
Y/n: This is hope. For new life. We all know it now. Thanos came here for a reason. To bring new hope. That's what he did. He fixed something corrupt and broken. He left 50% of the planet to make new life for itself.
Nat: Do you hear how crazy you sound right now? Not 5 years ago did you fight with me because you blamed yourself for what happened. You packed up and left because of it.
Y/n: And I still have nightmares now. But at least I'm trying to move on. You think I don't regret it still? * has tears in her eyes* You think it still doesn't haunt me? You think I don't miss them every goddamn day I'm still here? Huh?

There's a silence

Y/n: I hate myself everyday but I keep going. And for what? To get shit like this again? I'm trying to live for everyone we've lost. I'm trying to stay alive for the sake of Morgan. She needs a sister. She needs family. To help guide her through life. She can't grow up without us. She'd be more lost than ever.
Scott: So you won't do it?
Tony: No. I'm sorry. I get it. Wanting to try and fix it. But no. We won't help. It won't work even if we did.
Scott: So your just gonna give up? Like that?
Y/n: I'd stop while your ahead Lang.
Scott: What happened to the two daredevils of the Avengers known as Starks? You both would've fought for this 5 years ago.
Y/n: Things change. Now shut your mouth before I do it for you.

Morgan runs out and jumps into Tony's arms

Tony: * groans lightly and hugs her* Hey there kiddo.
Morgan: Mommy told me to come save you.
Tony: * smiles* Thank you. I'm saved.
Y/n: * smiles and ruffles up Morgans hair* Hi trouble.
Morgan: * giggles* Sissy.

Tony stands up, holding Morgan in his arms

Tony: It was nice seeing you again. Cap. Barton. Romanoff.
Steve: You too.

Tony goes inside

Y/n: I'm sorry.
Steve: It's ok. We're a call away if you need us.

Steve, Scott and Clint get in the car

Nat: Y/n please--
Y/n: Nat don't. Just don't. This hurts enough.
Nat: I need you. Please don't shut me out.
Y/n: * sighs heavily and kisses her forehead* You should go.
Nat: * grabs both her hand* Y/n please. I love you.
Y/n: * has tears in her eyes* I love you too.

Y/n let's go reluctantly and heads inside

Nat stands still for a few seconds, debating whether to leave or to chase after Y/n

She gets in the car and leaves
