"We are here today to say goodbye to Y/n y/m/n Carter, who sacrificed herself for the good of the people" Sharon Carter starts to say up from the crossing of the church. But some in the audience aren't exactly listening, still not accepting that it's real. Tony Stark just stares into his hands, Steve Rodgers has a tear falling down his cheek, Wanda Maximoff is fidgeting with the rings on her fingers, Bruce Banner has seated himself in the back to hide that he's crying, Thor is trying to hold his tears in to Sharon's words, Carol Danvers can't stop staring at the happy picture of y/n, Bucky Barnes hasn't even shown up as he's still in his room mourning in his own ways, Natasha Romanoff is holding onto the roses so hard that the thors has started to dig themselves into her hands, Sam Wilson doesn't really know what to do to himself then just sit a stare up into the different colored windows. Clint Barton is being comforted by Laura, T'challa is looking at the her chest with proud eyes to have gotten to her his friend, Peter Parker is holding Natashas hands to keep herself from cutting herself more on the thorns as tears stir from his face, Stephen Strange has given up on finding an alternative timeline to save her, Pepper Potts takes Tony's hands in her but still can't believe it herself, Maria Hill is already drunk in the back near Bruce in tears, Vision is trying to comfort Wanda without progress, Nick Fury has tears in his eye but knows he won't be able to let her go.

"My relationship with my cousin wasn't always the best but i always knew she would be there when i needed her. And i know what she would say, because she actually wrote a letter just in case something would happen to her.

'Dear family, if you're reading this then something went wrong. I want you all to know that i love you more than anything, that i'm sad to leave my darling Natasha behind me, that i have to leave Tony and Pepper who's been like parents for me, to Steve and Bucky, or mostly Steve because i will know for a fact that Bucky will have shut down in his room, i hope you can forgive me for the past. And Wanda i know i promised that i would be the one to not leave but since you're reading this thi i have, i'm so sorry and hope you and Natasha can find comfort in each other. Maria, i love you and i forgive you, i also know how much you love the car, you can have it. And Sharon, i'm sorry i wasn't there for you before but i'm not sad that it led to you becoming the awesome agent and strong person you are. Just promise me one thing everyone, don't go on a revenge trip for me. We will see each other again, in another life. Goodbye xoxo Y/n Carter'

As Sharon ends the note tears are falling from her eyes as well. Natasha can't take it anymore and stands up and walks out as everyone looks after her. Wanda gets up and follows after a few seconds. Since everyone's eyes are following them they can also see Maria follow them out of the church. As they go out they pass the tombstone that's about to become y/n's. It's been three months since it happened.

'Here lies a legend, Y/n y/m/n Carter. Beloved, daughter, sister, lover, Avengers, hero and friend. Will always be remembered.

One year later

From Pepper Potts to the Avengers group chat
Hey, i know it's been awhile now since we last saw each other but i think it's for all our goods to see each other again. I was thinking about dinner at Stark Mansion this friday and then we could watch the fireworks from the backyard. You're all welcome to stay at ours until you decide to leave whenever that may be.
Sincerely Pepper P

I roll down my window to let the wind into the car and Maria chuckles lightly at my actions.

"You know, this year has been great Wanda. I'm glad i came with" she says with a glance at me then back to the road.

"Yeah, me too" i say with a smile as we drive past the all to familiar forest. I can't believe it's been a year since i last was here but i remember it like it was yesterday. The roadtrips you used to drag me on, with Natasha and Pepper, like a girl trip.

"You're thinking about her, aren't you?"

"I'm always thinking about her Maria" that was the whole reason why we left in the first place. I couldn't bear to walk around with all those memories around me. The radio sparks to change into the news as i look out to the fields again.

"...one year since we said goodbye to the granddaughter of Agent Margret Carter and famous Avengers Y/n Carter aka Starlight, when she died on a mission to save earth. Let's just say that she's missed, so this Friday, the 17th of august, we will light fireworks in her honor..."

Maria shuts the radio off as she notices a tear slipping down my face. I know you wouldn't want me to be stuck but i can't help it. I loved... love you, you were my best friend after Pietro died. And maybe i liked you more than a friend once, but that was only a dream.

"I'm sure Pepper would understand if we canceled..."

"No, it's okay Maria. We can't avoid this forever, i know that" i cut her off and her hands move on top of the steering wheel. She only came with me to Eaurope because she didn't want to let me be alone. I secretly think that she didn't want to be either but didn't want to stay.

"Well, then we'll get to meet Nat's sister... Yelena i think her name was" Maria says with a smile as she tries to get my mind of the obvious. Just like we both have been doing over there. I mean, i bet it was harder for her since they had just broken up a few weeks before it happened. Still she seems to be the least affected person, it had me worried at start before she finally broke in Italy.

"Yeah, i remember Nat always y... her and her sister would get together just fine" i say, not wanting to say your name out loud. So to get her to stop looking so worried i say with a laugh. "I also remembering Natasha talking about setting them up when she came out a bi, in front of your face as well"

"Yeah, well we did keep it a secret. But i always thought if someone it would be her and Natasha that would have gotten together. I mean she was acting all jealous when you got into the picture as well" Maria continues as we both laugh and the radio starts playing music again. And with us both singing alone to Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus we ride along into the big apple.
