We should've known that it was far from over, it's us we're talking about. Time seemed to speed up to where, at some point, we all aimed for the gauntlet. But Thanos had other plans, something we all didn't see coming. He used the Stones, specifically the Reality Stone, to turn some alien ship into the exact missile that... killed Pietro so many years ago. He got hit, died the exact same way as before. Wanda, on the other hand, used her powers to lift up all the debris and threw it at him.

"You took everything from me," She said, holding a look that sent knives.

Everyone aimed for the gauntlet, but Peter was the one who eventually got a hold of it, hiding with it in a ditch. Carol noticed and flew over to him, leaving him in a state of awe.

"Hey, I'm Peter Parker," He said, kinda shaky.

"Hey, Peter Parker. You got something from me?" Carol asked, refering to the gauntlet.

"How are you going to get it through all of that?"

"Don't worry," Wanda said, landing next to them.

"She's got help," Okoye, leader of the Dora Milaje, joind them.

With her, Valkyrie, Mantis, Gamora, Nebula, Wasp, Shuri and even mom joined them. I was surprised she had found the Iron Woman suit, Dad had made it for her.

"Mom, that was supposed to be a birthday present," I said, kinda sad the surprise was ruined.

"First we kill that grape, than we can discuss my birthday," She said.

"And they wonder how I'm so stubborn..."

"Hey, I'm not, I just say what's on my mind and like to act to it."

"Right, sorry."

We all started fighting, but eventually, Thanos got once again a hold of the Stones. Dad tried to rip it off of his hand, but didn't succeed.

Thanos smirked, conscious of the fact that he'd won.

"I am inevitable," He said, before snapping his fingers.

We all waited for half of the world to fade away again, but to all of our surprises, nothing happened. Then there came a sound from dad's direction. I could see the Infinity Stones making their way to his hand, perfectly aligning, but with that, I could also see the power slowly breaking of his body.

"No, please tell me I'm hallucinating," I said, feeling the tears burn in my eyes.

"I. Am. Iron Man," Dad said, before he snapped his fingers.

This time, the entire alien army faded away, including Thanos.

Everyone ran towards him, hoping- praying that he was okay.

"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," Peter said, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Friday, status report," I said, not wanting to hear the response.

"Functions are critical," The AI said, which made me break down even more.

Mom got here too, but somehow, she was smiling through the tears.

"Hey," Is all she said, holding his face with one hand.

"Hey Pep," Dad said back, clearly having trouble to stay awake.

"It's okay, Tony, you can rest now."

That was the last thing he heard, Tony Stark was gone.

A/n: Again, sorry I had to put you through all of this, but it's only fair that if you sacrifice Nat, you have to do the same with Tony. Of course, that doesn't make it any less terrible (I'm crying too), but it's the right thing to do.
