Cali: I'm the one that's sorry, Bruce.

Thor: Banner?

Tony: ( kneels Down and checks for a pulse) Guys......He..he's gone.

Tony: Ple-

Cali: Now's not the time.

(Tony walks away,disheartened)

Thor: Dr Banner was the best of us.

(Everyone gathers near the coffin as Thor gives a speech)

Thor: I loved both sides of him- his Hulky ness and his Banner ness- his battles were very much fun. I could always go to him if I needed help. But now he..he ( Thor cries)

( Thor walks off Stage)

( The Avengers go to the 6ft hole that has been dug for the coffin)

Tony: ( picks up shovel) Who wants to go first?

Natasha: ( steps forward) I will. ( She takes the shovel and puts in some dirt)

Steve: ( takes the shovel) Goodbye...Bruce. It was an honour. ( Steve puts in some dirt)

Tony: ( takes shovel) Miss you, Science Bro. ( cries and puts dirt in)

Thor: ( slowly takes the shovel) There are no words left to say, Dr Banner. ( Puts In dirt)

Clint: ( Thor gives the shovel to Clint) Gonna Miss you, Pal. ( puts dirt in)

( Clint offers the shovel to Cali, she doesn't take it)

Natasha: Cali ( grabs her hands) Please don't blame yourself. This is Loki's fault, not yours. Bruce loved you so much, he wouldn't want you to blame yourself, so please ( places shovel in her hand) Do this for him.

Cali: (Nods and puts dirt in) I'm sorry, Bruce. I never should've gone for Loki for help. I should've gone to you.

( The 6 Avengers- Cali, Tony, Steve, Natasha, Clint and Thor- stand together in the rain, thinking back to all the memories they had together)

(A few days later)

Tony: Cali.

Cali: ( looks up from her book) What?

Tony: Can we talk?

Cali: Why? You know what you've done.

Tony: I was spelled

Cali: ( stands up) and I thought that love was stronger.

( She walks past him)

Cali: Tony look, I've moved on from you now, you should too.

Labara: Hey guys! Oh, Cali! Are you telling Tony about your boyfriend?

( Cali glares at her)

Labara: Oh, you haven't... ( laughs nervously and walks away)

Tony: Um what?

Cali: Tony....

( Steve walks in)

Steve: Hey Cali. ( kisses her head as Tony stands in shock) Have you told him?

Cali: We Just did.

Steve: Oh.

Tony: ( scoffs) What? Spangles!!! I thought you liked Nat anyway.

Steve: I actually liked Cali, but cause you were with her I didn't want to ruin it - even though you did that yourself- so I tried to like Nat to try and get over her...but I can't.

Cali: Thanks for understanding , Tony. ( Steve and Cali walk off giggling, leaving a shocked Tony)

Tony: What?

Labara: Tony! Come here! Fireworks are starting!

( Tony follows her)

( Labara, Thor, Clint, Cali, Steve, Tony and Natasha all stand together in 'Aw' as they watch the fireworks)

Natasha: I miss Bruce.

Clint: Me too.

Cali: He's always with us though

Steve: ( Points at his chest) In here.

Tony: Yeah.

Thor: We should enjoy this..for him.

Labara: and think back to all the happy times we've had.

Avengers: ( sighing) Yeah.

( They continue to watch the fireworks and are surprised at the last one)

Tony: Is That?

Natasha: ( crying) Bruce.

Labara: it's a memory of Bruce.

( They all stand together happily, thinking of Bruce and how lucky they are to have each other)

Cali: This...this is the good life.
