FIVE YEARS LATER........





It's been five years since the snap. The years seemed to go by fast, mostly because of Morgan. It's crazy to think I have a five year old now...let's just say she definitely is her dads twin.

I was doing my normal routine of making dinner, Morgan wanted lasagna so that's what I'm making. I take a moment to pause and stare up at the shelf next to the sink, there were two pictures of Peter. One with him and Tony, and one with me. I stare at it and smile to myself, I miss him everyday.

I smile widely when I hear Morgan running into the kitchen, she hugs onto my leg tightly. "Mommy Auntie Nat is here." She whispers, looking back at the door. "You need to save daddy." She smiles.

I kneel down and kiss her cheek, "Can you go play in your room for a couple minutes?"

"Yes mommy." She smiles and kisses me, then she runs up the stairs.

I pull the sleeves to my cardigan down as I push the screen door open. "Hey guys." I smile, leaning in to hug Nat. I then hug Steve and wave at Scott.

"You look amazing." Nat says, looking me over. "It's been too long."

"It has, Morgan has missed you." I smile.

"I could tell she almost tackled me." Nat laughs.

I sit in Tony's lap and look back at him to see he looks annoyed. "What are we talking about?"

"Time travel." Tony sighs. "It's not gonna work."

"We can change back everything." Nat says.

Tony pushes me up and goes over to Steve, "I got my second chance Cap." I hear him say.

"Hey you guys can join us for dinner...I'd love to catch up." I smile, Tony waves goodbye and walks in the house.

"We better get going." Nat hugs me.

"Hey...I'll talk to him. I'll see what the plan is." I nod.

"Thank you Y/N." Steve nods and hugs me.

"Drive safe." I wave them off.

When I go inside I see Tony and Morgan messing around in the seats at the table. I go over to the kitchen and carry two plates over and set them down for them, then getting mine. I take my seat next to Morgan and laugh as she already has food all over her face.

"You need help?" I chuckle as I take a bite of my food.

"Mmmm nope." She says as she shoves the food in her mouth.

I look across the table at Tony, he smiles sweetly and finishes his food. "It was amazing honey....I'll do the dishes." Tony walks over and kisses my head.


After twenty minutes Morgan finally fished her food. I hold her hand as we go upstairs, I take her to the bathroom and start a warm bubble bath. "Alright, does the water feel okay?" I ask, rolling up my sleeves. She pokes her finger in and nods her head, "alright I'll go get a couple toys, go ahead and get in." I smile, turning off the water.

When I go to her room I pick out a pair of pajamas and a couple toys for her. When I return she was humming an unknown tune. I place the bath toys in front of her and take a seat on the toilet. I smile as she hums and plays with her toys. "Mommy? I love you." She looks up at me with a serious face.

"Honey I love you too. Daddy and I both do." I smile and kneel down by the tub. "Alright put your head back." I smile and grab the small cup.

After washing her hair I help her wash the food off her face. Then after getting all clean she was ready to get out.

I carried Morgan into her room after she was all dressed and put her in bed. "Alright time for bed." I smile. "Remember what I always tell you?"

"Mommy and daddy loves me and I am always protected. And I am the best daughter in the world." She smiles.

"I love you sweetie." I lean down and kiss her head, I walk over to the door and turn off her light.

"Your the best mommy ever." She smiles and turns over. I take a moment to just look at her, she's only five and she makes me feel like the most loved mom in the world. I softly close her door and make my way downstairs. I walk passed Tony who is working on something and grab my book.

After about an hour of reading, Tony comes in and smiles. "Not that it's a competition, but she loves me 3000. You were somewhere on the low 6 to 900 range."

I scoff, "Oh really?0

"What are you reading?"

"A book about gardening..." I look down.

"What's new with...gardening?" He asks.

"Oh just-" Tony cuts me off.

"I figured it out by the way....time travel."

"That's amazing...and terrifying." I nod. "We got very lucky...others didn't."

"No. We can't help everybody."

"Kinda seems like we can." I smile.

"Not if I stop...I can put a pin in it right now and stop."

"Tony you will never stop. Will you be able to rest? I know I won't." I stand up and grab onto his arms softly. "We need to do this."

"I will. You stay here with Morgan."

"No I'm coming with. Happy will stay with Morgan." I nod.

"Shit." Tony sighs and pulls me in. I lay my head against his chest and hold onto him tightly.

"We have to do this Tony."

"I know....we will leave in the morning. I'll call Happy." Tony sighs and kisses me.

I was terrified for what was about to happen...but it needed to be done.
