{Cut to the Avengers HQ and the Quantum platform everyone looks around to see all the recovered stones.]
BRUCE BANNER: Did we get them all?
RHODEY: You telling me this'll actually work?
[There's a pause as everyone starts to realise someone is missing.]
BRUCE BANNER: Clint, where's Nat?
[The silence from Clint tells them all they need to know. The mission was completed but at a dire cost. Sadness overtakes everyone. Bruce falls to his knees and pounds the floor in grief.]
[Cut to outside HQ. Lakeside, Tony, Steve, Thor, Clint, and Bruce are mourning their fallen teammate and friend.]
TONY STARK: Do we know if she had family?
STEVE ROGERS: Yeah. Us.
Clint glanced at Natasha with an eyebrow raised
THOR: (confused) What?
TONY STARK: I just asked him a question–
THOR: Yeah, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the stones, Cap, we can bring her back, isn't that right? [GROWLING.] So stop this shit. We're the Avengers, get it together.
CLINT BARTON: We can't get her back.
THOR: Wha– what?
CLINT BARTON: It can't be undone. It can't.
[Thor dryly laughs.]
THOR: I'm sorry. No offense, but you're a very earthly being. Okay? We're talking about space magic. And "can't" seems very definitive don't you think?
CLINT BARTON: (to Thor) Yeah, look, I know that I'm way outside my paygrade here. But she still isn't here, is she?
THOR: No, that's my point–
CLINT BARTON: It can't– be undone. Or that's at least what the red floating guy had to say. (shouts) Maybe you wanna go talk to him, okay? GO GRAB YOUR HAMMER, AND YOU GO FLY AND TALK TO HIM!
[Clint's anger is quickly replaced with grief]
CLINT BARTON: It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life for that goddamn stone. She bet her life on it.
[In a burst of anger, Bruce grabs a bench and hurls it clear across the lake. His anger spent, he turns to the others with a resigned look on his face]
BRUCE BANNER: She's not coming back. We have to make it worth it. We have to.
STEVE ROGERS: We will.
[Cut to inside the Avenger's Lab. Tony carefully places the stones in the gauntlet he made while Bruce and Rocket watches. With nervous precision, Tony manipulates the machine and carefully places all six stones into the gauntlet]
Everyones eyes widened at the gauntlet, realising that this might bring everyone back
ROCKET: Boom!
The wizards jump in their seats not expecting it, Mad-eye Moody sees this and looks dissapointed
"CONSTANT VIGILIANCE!"
[Tony and Bruce jump a bit, and quickly groan at Rocket's joke. Scene cuts to another room with the new finished gauntlet. Everyone is gathered around it.]
