Alive but can't live (Saved but not save sequel)

12. Happily ever after...?

Tony pov:
So I woke up some time later, I had no idea how much time later though...
I saw Grace sitting next to me and she smiled.
"Hey..." she said softly.
"Hey."
"How are you feeling?"
"Could've been worse."
She took my hand and I looked at her.
"I love you."
Her smile grew.
"I love you too." she said.
We heared a knock and the two of us looked up.
Quill and Groot looked at us.
"Hey, good news. Tony, you can come back to the Avengers building with us."
"Hold on, how long was I passed out?" I asked.
"A couple hours since you needed surgery." Grace said.
Okay, that's something I couldn't remember but that was probably kinda logic.

None of us was in a good mood once we got back and it wasn't that strange though. I mean people kept dying and now only the four of us were still alive.
I looked at the others.
"So what do we do now?"
"There's nothing to do. You two schould go back to school." Quill said.
I grinned softly.
"I graduated highschool two years ago." I said.
Grace looked at me.
"What? That's so unfair!"
Groot laughed and Quill grinned.
"Come on. Let's get out of here."

So once we got back, I walked to my dad's old office... Yea I already installed all my databases there and I could work there better then anywhere else... Because it was my dads...
I sat down and picked up the picture of my parents of their first official date.
"So what am I supposed to do now huh?"
I knew that I shoukd try to move on but it was so hard just to even think about it...
"Hey kid." a voice said and I looked up.
"Grandpa?" I said a bit suprised.
"I told you not to call me like that."
"Right... mr. Fury..."
He sighed and sat down next to me.
"How are you holding up?"
"Both of my parents are dead and I'm not allowed to call my grandpa grandpa. Y'know the guy who's my only family left..."
"Don't be like that."
"Says the man who abandoned his own daughter."
"I didn't abandon your mother."
"You knew Thanos was there... But you just left her behind on Titan. Like you didn't care."
"I needed to protect her. Against Ultron."
"That's a lame excuse. The best way to protect someone is to show that you love them."
"I always regretted leaving her behind. But I had to."
"You didn't. You had a choice."
He sighed and I stood up.
"I have to do something."
"What?"
"Taking up my own advise..."

I walked to Grace and looked at her.
"Hey, got a sec?"
"Sure."
"I know we said it before but I really care about you, y'know. I love you and I was hoping you'd want to be my girlfriend?"
But instead of giving me an answer, she kissed me and I kissed her back.
"Since when are you two a thing?!" Quill said suprised and the two of us split up.
"Let 'em have it Star-Lord." My granddad said and Groot looked at him.
"I am Groot."
I grinned and the others looked at me.
"Still annoying that you know what he says." Quill said.
Grace made me look at her again and she kissed me again.
I grinned and she smiled.
"So when were you gonna tell me that Nick Fury was your grandfather?"
"Nick Fury is what now?" Quill said and he shrugged.
Grace and I laughed and yea... Even though there was a lot of death, it kinda was a happy ending.
