Endgame One-Shots

Beleive It

I don't care why it doesn't work. I won't let Tony stay dead.

~TH~

Steve wouldn't believe it. He didn't care what they said. He didn't care that he personally attended the funeral. He didn't care that he stood over him while he died. He didn't care that Pepper seemed at peace with it. He didn't care.

He thought of Morgan. The precious child who reminded him so much of Tony. He remembered never knowing his own father. He remembered his own rollercoaster friendship with the billionaire.

He would bring him back.

He stepped into the small "time machine" they had built. He clutched the small suitcase like container tighter in his hand.

Sometimes it seemed like everything bad that had ever happened to him was because of an Infinity Stone.

From losing Bucky the first time, to dying, to fighting in New York, to losing half the Earth, and now, Tony dying.

As strange as it was to say, he wasn't ready to live in a world without Tony Stark. And he wouldn't let Morgan grow up without a dad.

He wouldn't.

"Good luck," Sam nodded. Steve nodded back.

Bucky gave him a long look before walking up and giving him a hug. "Be careful, " he whispered.

Bucky knew what he was planning. Bucky always seemed to know.

"Take all the time that you need, we'll call you back in ten seconds."

They laughed slightly, appreciating the attempt at humour.

Then he was being pulled through time. He landed in the middle of a battle. But not the battle of New York as they had planned.

They had seen Thanos. A living breathing Thanos. He was alive, despite Thor killing him.

So it was possible.

It was possible.

He hears the voice low and tired ring out. "And I. Am. Iron Man."

Knowing his time was short, he did the only thing he knew to do, he tackled him.

Pressing his glowing hand down into the ground, forcing the fingers open.

"What are you doing?!" Tony yelped.

He looked up to see a wide-eyed self. Somebody was fighting Thanos, though he wasn't completely sure who that was.

"Get these out of here." He said throwing the case full of Infinity Stones at his past self. They were caught and after a moment, he took off with them.

"I'm sorry, " Steve murdered, before sticking Pym particles into Tony's suit. Then he activated both of their suits.

They arrived, as Sam had said, ten seconds later. Everyone's eyes went wide.

"What was that?" Tony practically yelled at Steve. "Why did you-"

He was cut off when Steve suddenly grabbed him in a tight hug.

"Tony?" Pepper said slowing approaching, as if not believing.

Steve let go and Tony stepped off the platform, shedding his suit as he went, his left hand still covered with the gauntlet.  "Pepper?" 

"You, you, " she started to cry as she hugged him.

He laughed awkwardly, "Who died?"

Nobody responded.

"Daddy?" A small voice said.

Steve watched with wet eyes as Morgan ran up to her father and he picked her up.

"Mommy said you weren't coming home." The small girl said into Tony's shoulder.

Everyone was silent. "Oh," The man said, realization clear on his face.

He looked at his gauntleted hand. "It's okay baby, I'm back now. How could I leave someone who loves me as much as 3,000?"

Tony put his daughter down and took off the gauntlet. Steve walked up and took it from him.

"I should, um, probably get these back." He said quietly.

Tony nodded, once again picking up Morgan and wrapping his other arm around Pepper's shoulders.

"Thank you, Steve," Pepper choked out, holding Tony closer.

Steve acknowledged her as he began to walk away.

"Yeah Cap." Tony's voice stopped him. "Thanks for everything."

Steve smiled.

And for once, Steve believed it.

~TH~

Ok, so it's not my best work. But I needed to write it now.

And maybe it doesn't make sense.
I'll say again: I don't care.

Let me know what you guys thought of Endgame!

God bless,
