They all reappear back in the compound with all of the stones. "Did we get them all?" Bruce asks as they all remove their suits. "Are you telling me this actually worked?" Rhodes asks, holding the Orb. Clint falls to the ground and they don't see Natasha. "Clint where's Nat?" Bruce asks him and they slowly come to the realization she's gone. Bruce slams his fist against the machine hard.(sadly, he didn't break it! Coulda saved us ALL some trouble).

The Avengers are outside mourning the loss of their friend while Quill and Rocket are working on the gauntlet. They all come back agreeing to make Natasha's sacrifice worth it and get to placing the stones on the gauntlet. They place them all on and wait to see if anything happens. "BOOM!" Rocket shouts as tony and Bruce jump and he chuckles.

They make sure the gauntlet is safe and secure, able to be used. "All right, the gloves ready. Question is, who's gonna snap their freakin' fingers?" Rocket asks the team. "I'll do it." Thor says. "Excuse me?" Tony asks as Thor walks towards the glove. "It's okay." Thor states and they all stop him. "Thor. Just wait. We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet." Steve tells him. "I'm sorry, what, we're just sitting around waiting for the right opportunity?" Thor asks him. "We should at least discuss it." Scott explains to him. "Look, sitting here starring at the thing is not gonna bring everyone back. I'm the strongest Avenger, Okay? So, this responsibility falls upon me." Thor states. "It's my duty." "Normally, you're right. It's not a lot that, Thor." Tony tells him "just let me do it...let me do something good. Something right." Thor says, tearing up. "Look, it's not just the fact that glove is channeling enough power to light up a continent. You're in no condition." Tony informs Thor. "What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?" Thor asks him. "About most of the earths supply of beer and cheesy products?" Quill states to Thor. "Lightning." Thor states.

"No, I don't think lightning will help you, man." Quill says, stopping the jokes. They all look to him. "It's gotta be me." Quill states. "What? Quill, you could barley handle the power stone." Rocket tells him. "I wasn't able to hold it. Remember, I'm half god. If anyone can snap and live, it's me. I may not have the light anymore, but you can't change my DNA...besides, I caused all of this." Quill states, remembering his mistake on Titan all those years ago. "So, it's up to me to make this right. And if I die, then I guess I made up for my mistake." He starts walking to the glove. "How do we know you'll survive?" Steve asks. "We don't. But none of you guys could. Thanos nearly died snapping, with me, I've got a chance." Quill tells him and gets ready to snap.

Outside, Nebula walks to the quantum tunnel and starts hacking into it. Back in the room, Quill is ready to put it on. "You sure about this?" Tony asks Quill. "Let's do this." He says as they all get ready for the snap. "Okay, Remember, Everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago you're just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything in the past 5 years." Tony warns him, regarding Morgan. "Got it." Quill says and they're all ready. "Friday, do me a favor, activate Barn Door Protocol, will ya?" Tiny asks his AI and the entire base locksdown. "Everybody comes home." Quill says as he starts placing the gauntlet on. The glove transforms to fit his hand and the power surges through him and he screams. "Take it off! Take it off!" Thor commands him. "No, wait. Peter, are you okay?" Steve asks him. Quill doesn't answer and continues to scream. "Talk to me, Flash Gordon." Tony tells him. "I'm okay...I'm okay." Quill says.

Nebula is using the quantum tunnel and activates it to a portal from 2014 and Thanos' ship comes flying through into the future. In the room, Quill starts using his other hand to open his fist and slowly...SNAP. Quill falls and faints. Clint kicks the gauntlet as they check on him and see the gauntlet didn't damage his arm too badly, proving him right. "Did...did it work?" Quill asks them as tony deactivates the lockdown. "No, we don't know, it's okay." Thor tells him as Scott walks towards the window and sees birds flying onto the trees. Clint's phone starts ringing and he sees it's his wife. He answers it and starts talking. "Guys...I think it worked." Scott says. Quill looks through the open window and sees something coming towards the compound. It hits and explodes, throwing everyone backwards as the ship starts shooting more and more at the compound, destroying everything.
