33 | EPILOGUETony ended up being wrong about Barnes. But that didn't change his perspective about the Sokovia Accords. Instead of going to kill or capture Cap and Barnes, he went to help them against the guy trying to take over the Winter Soldier. While he was there, he found out Barnes had killed his parents so long ago. Then, the three started fighting anyway.
All the while, Indra was already at home. She sat in the lab and looked through all the designs she had come up with. Then... she had an epiphany. Being an engineer was something she was always good at. It helped heroes do their job. It was her purpose. She wasn't supposed to be the hero of the story. She was supposed to be the innovator. It was why she always had such a conflict of interest with herself when she was wooed back to the field and when she didn't want to be a hero.
Thats what she was going to continue to do: make the tech for the heroes but not be the hero.

Indra and Tony continued to live a very full live. They never had another child after Harlem, but they did always remember her. They created foundations and charities in her honor. They donated to cancer research. And when the Avengers were needed, Tony was there and Indra was behind the scenes upgrading the suits and weapons used to defend the planet.
It was her calling. It was her purpose. Since the beginning she was the engineer, the master mind. It was what made Tony fall in love with her. It's what made her Indra Badu. And it's her legacy.
