Growing up, you are best friends with Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, and Bucky's older sister Rebecca "Becca" Barnes.
In 1942 at the age of just 18 you decide to join Steve in enlisting in the army, not wanting to be left out, Becca joins you two and t...
Thanos' forces started to vanish in the same way half of humanity had done five years ago. One by one the alien army dusted away... Ultimately leaving the Mad Titan alone. He took a seat on a piece of debris, processing the fact that he had lost. The Avengers defeated him.
Tony Stark, the billionaire genius; Iron Man did.
He drew one final breath before he dusted away himself.
Tony stumbled toward a destroyed pillar, sliding down against it until he was in a seated position. He was in tremendous pain... The energy of the Infinity Stones practically fused his suit into the skin of his arm. The right side of his face was also burned by the energy.
Rhodey landed in front of him, retracting his faceplate of his new War Machine suit. He walked up to his best friend and placed a hand on the back of his head. Rhodey was starting to feel emotional... He knew Tony didn't have long.
Peter swung into the area. He immediately made his way to his mentor.
"Mr. Stark?" He called out.
Rhodey moved aside, so that the teenager could have a moment with Tony. Peter knelt down in front of his idol.
"Mr. Stark. Can you hear me?" He asked. "It's Peter."
Tony was barely able to move his head, but still looked in the direction of the young man. He still couldn't say a thing due to the pain.
"Hey. We won, Mr. Stark." Peter said, but he was starting to realize that he was dying. "We won, Mr. Stark. We won! You did it, sir, you did it."

He started to cry, placing his hands on his chest as he sobbed. Pepper walked up to the teenager and started to help him up.
"I'm, sorry." Peter sobbed. "Tony..."
Pepper crouched in front of Tony and put her hand on his arc reactor. Peter and Rhodey stood idly by and watched in sadness. Along with many of the other Avengers who stumbled upon the scene.
"Hey." She managed to breathe out.
Tony painfully moved his head a bit to get a better look at her and was able to muster a couple of words through his pain, albeit weakly. "Hey, Pep."
"Friday." Pepper spoke, and the AI in her suit knew what she was asking for.
"Life functions critical."
Tony started wandering his eyes around but Pepper made sure to get his attention.
"Tony. Look at me." He did, letting out a weak groan as he turned his head.
"We're gonna be okay." She said, trying to keep her composure. "You can rest now."
Tony's wheezing stopped as he rested his head against the pillar. He had been holding the hand Pepper had on his chest and grasped it... Until the grip got weaker. His arc reactor flickered until it ultimately shut off, his hand also letting go of Pepper's and falling to his side
