"Everybody wants a happy ending. But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping that if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you'd told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone to this extent, I probably wouldn't have been surprised. But come on... Who knew what epic forces of dark and light would come into play? For better or worse, that's the reality our children get to grow up in...

...That's why I thought I'd probably better record a little greeting, in the case of... an untimely death on my part. I mean, death at any time is untimely, but... this "time travel" thing we're going to try to pull off tomorrow has me scratching my head about the "survivability" of it all. But that's the hero gig, right? Part of the journey is the end...

...What am I even tripping for? Everything is going to work out exactly the way it's supposed to," A hologram of Tony Stark seems to look out to the gathered heroes, his daughter, Morgan, in particular. "I love you 3000," Hologram Tony finished off with a smile before vanishing leaving the heroes in the room saddened. Bucky held Rebecca tight in his arms as Alessia leaned into Steve for comfort as tears rolled down her face.

After the battle, everyone had reunited with their loved ones, friends and colleagues feeling at peace despite the large time difference. Alessia got to watch as Bucky met Rebecca for the first time, the two were a mess of smiles and tears leaving Alessia, Sam and Steve smiling and happy. But then the time came from Tony's funeral, something Alessia didn't expect for many years to come and she was devasted to know that the infamous Tony Stark was gone but like the dramatic man he was, he had to go out with a snap.

And as Pepper and Morgan slowly descended the steps of their home with the Avengers following behind them, Alessia let out a breath as she looked to the sky admiring the beautiful blue skies. Pepper held an RT ringed with flowers, she carefully rests the flowers on the water as they looked at the words carefully carved into the metal; "Proof that Tony Stark has a heart."

Alessia stood with Bucky and Rebecca in the back of the funeral. Steve, Sam, Rhodey and Wanda all stood in the front behind Pepper, Morgan and Happy. Clint, Laura, Lila, Cooper and Nathaniel all stood in the next row with Thor and Hulk near them. Scott, Hope, Hank and Janet all stood together with Peter Parker and Aunt May standing just behind them. T'Challa, Shuri and Okoye stood to the left of Peter and May with Wong and Strange standing behind them.

Quill, Nebula, Groot, Drax, Mantis and Rocket stand in front of Alessia, Bucky and Rebecca with Secretary Ross and Harley Keener near them. Maria Hill and Nick Fury stand on the porch looking down at the others while Carol stands to the left of Nick off the porch. Alessia looked around at them, at the people who had come to be her family before she looked to the right where Marcus, Aaron, Lana, Alina, Jesse, Harper and Jonas all stood mourning Tony.
