What if, Tony dusted instead

"I might be able to explain." Everyone turned towards her "I received a distress call from you guys It took me longer to get there due to help on Xander, When I arrived no one was alive, when I went to leave I seen Green flash around one of them so I took him to the nearest plant, where I finally woke him up, he used his own magic to rest his neck but the bruises stayed, he explained what happened so we went to Titan only we arrived to late, we ran into the Guardians of the galaxy, Peter here, The trash can guy and the wizard. They looked like shit when we got there. The Tony guy went to attack Loki until he explained that some kind of attack back in 2012? I think wasn't him, he had been tortured and mind controlled into it, only when the Hulk smashed him did it knock him free." Everyone with that news looked around Clint had a look like something Clicked "That explains the memories that weren't mine of torture." They all looked sad as I added "I knew it wasn't him, he told me in private." They all turned to me confused as I sighed and said "different time." Waving it off as Carol said "I'll let Peter finish this." As all the attention fell onto the kid sitting between Client and Pepper both holding one hand

After a few minutes he spoke "I was on a field trip, when we saw the giant spaceship, so my friend caused a distraction, and I swung towards it. When I arrived I stopped on of them from killing Mr. Stark, before he filled me in, I tried to save Dr. Strange when we got beaned up, he tried to send me back to Earth Tony did, but I refused." Pepper and Happy gave me a look saying they knew I would do that as he continued "Dr. Strange was being tortured for the time stone, so I came up with a plan and we took the alien out, when we arrived on Titan we kind of crash landed it, but the Guardians came after us thinking we we're with Thanos, after realizing we weren't we came up with a plan to get the gauntlet. It worked up until Quill punch Thanos, I had it in my hands all I had to do was turn and we could have all won, but he punch me in the face, I ended up catching the others who got thrown, he threw a literal moon at us, that wasn't fun before him and Tony went into a 1v1 deathmatch." we all gasped as he looked down a tear coming down his face as Pepper begged no as he continued "Tony, he stood strong, got a lot of blows in I thought he might win, but he only got a small cut on Thanos, Thanos took own suit and stabbed him with it, before that stupid wizard gave up the time stone in reverse Tony got to live." We all looked at the kid half way, not wanting to hear the rest, the other half full intent on listening, "He disappeared, I bandaged up Tony, until I fell to the ground in pain." We all looked confused so he explained "I have an ability that warns me of incoming danger when he snapped, I felt it coming for them." We all stared shocked by this as he continued "He died in my arms." As he looked at the dust on his hands we understood then "they all dusted, He said "Don't cry, I believe in you." and told Loki to protect me which he did, Dr. Strange looked at me as if I was supposed to save the world and said it was the only way.'' Tears came out of his eyes as he continued "I knew I had to be strong but Loki held me as I cried for a few minutes, but it's all I allowed myself, we took the Guardians ship and we spoke of where to go when we got a ping that he used the stones again so we went to where he was, I came up with a plan I was distracting him while Carol held the gauntlet and Loki killed him from behind, I don't believe in killing but after what happened I think I can let it slide, Anyways he moved forward to fast and stabbed me Carol didn't get a chance to grab the gauntlet but Loki was able to kill him from behind so Carol pulled me out of the way. And now we are here." HE said everyone sat in silence before I broke it "Is there someone we can call for you?" I asked Peter as everyone turned to him as he finally raised his head you could tell he wanted to just cry but he smiled sadly and said "MY parents died when I was little, MY uncle was shot and died in arms, and now Aunt May is dead due to a p[lane crashing into her apartment, I have no one left I'll probably end up in the system." Before Happy pulled him into a hug as Pepper joined them. I felt like I couldn't breath, I could tell Thor couldn't either knowing too well how it felt to lose everyone. Fury and Carol and Fury sat staring at each other like having a mental conversation. Rhodes moved to hug Clint closely, Clint looked ready to kill everyone. We just sat in silence unable to even try and break it. After a while Clint was the first to speak his voice holding raw emotions of anger and sadness "So, We have the stones right? Let's just get those we can back." He said everyone looked at him nodding as they moved to look at the stones, some gasped, others punched the table, which was taking a large beating today so I said what we're all thinking "They looked cracked and dull, is there any way to get them out of there?" As Thor and Carol nodded before gently getting the shards out and laying them on the table we looked at them, their brightness gone like the destruction caused them to lose hope as well and like us they lay broken and sad. Peter, who was sitting closer to the soul stone, said, "Karen, can you bring up all the information Mr. Stark has on any of them?" We watched him before a voice responded
