MARVEL • THE INFINITY WITCH (PETER PARKER X OC)

The End Is Near

We cut to a montage showing reunions and celebrations. At Clint Barton's farm, he joyfully reunites with his family. At Peter Parker's school, Peter and Ned meet in the hallways. They share a handshake before giving each other a heartfelt hug. Stas and MJ reunite as she sadly runs and hugs her friend crying. In San Francisco, Scott Lang watches fireworks with Cassie Lang and Hope Van Dyne. In Wakanda, T'Challa, Shuri, and Ramonda oversee the celebrations from their balcony. Over all this, we hear Tony's voice narrating.

"Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back, and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored. If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. But come on, you know? The epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play. And, for better or worse, that's the reality Stas and Morgan are gonna have to find a way to grow up in."

Stark household. Stas, Peter,Pepper, Morgan, Happy Hogan, and Rhodey all watch Tony's holographic message being projected from his Iron Man helmet. Stas is sitting on Peter's lap as he hugs her tight. Morgan cuddled close to her big sister. Tony is sitting down recording the message.

"So I thought I'd probably better record a little greeting... In the case of an untimely death on my part. I mean, not that, death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's– it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of it all. That's the thing. Then again, that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. What am I even trippin' for? Everything's gonna work out exactly the way it's supposed to. Stas I just want to say I'm sorry. I promised you that I would never leave but I did and I'm so sorry. I never wanted this to happen. Peter take care of her please. She's lost to many people. I talked to Steve and Wanda. If you don't want to stay and live with Pep and Morgan, Wanda offered you to live with her and so did Steve!" He leans closer to face Stas's eyes "I love you 300 Anastasia."

The message ends and the hologram cuts out.

"I love you more" She cries out. Peter hugs her tightly

Outside the cottage. Pepper carries a wreath out of the house to an audience waiting outside for the intimate funeral. She lays the wreath on the lake. On top of the wreath is Tony's first arc reactor which Pepper had framed with the words "Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart" back in 2008. Stas, Pepper, Morgan, Happy Hogan, & Rhodey, all being joined by Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, May Parker, Thor, Bruce Banner, Doctor Strange, Wong, Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, Janet Van Dyne, Hank Pym, Peter Quill, Nebula, Rocket, Teenage Groot, Drax, Mantis, T'Challa, Okoye, Shuri, Clint Barton & his family, Wanda Maximoff, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Harley Keener, Secretary Ross, Maria Hill, Carol Danvers, and Nick Fury, silently watching the wreath float away.

Clint and Wanda, standing by the riverside shortly afterwards.

"You know, I wish there was a way– that I could let her know. That we won. We did it."

"She knows– They both do." Wanda says. Clint gives her a side hug and Wanda reciprocates.

"How are you doing, Squirts?" Happy asks Stas who is holding Morgan

"Good." Stas chokes

"You good? Okay. Are you hungry?" He asks the two

"Mm. Hm." Morgan responds

"What do you want?" He asks the two. They look at each other

"Cheeseburgers." They respond

"You know your dad liked cheeseburgers? I'm gonna get you two all the cheeseburgers you want."
