"Shit!  Turn around! " Natasha yelled as Steve suddenly turned around on his bike to follow Jasmine who sped past them.

"Where the hell is she going?! " Tony yelled as he hit the gas trying to catch up with Steve.

Natasha looked around before it dawned on her,  "Nana."

Tony frowned and his face softened.

"We didn't tell her that her Nana died last year. " Tony said sadly.

"If she remembers her then maybe she's remembering everything. " Natasha said as they pulled up to the grave yard where Jasmine was wandering around looking for her Nana's stone.

Tony and Natasha slowly got out of the car and shut the doors quietly.

Steve had walked toward her,  "Jasmine? "

She turned around and Steve swears his heart broke seeing her with tears streaming down her face.

He walked over to her quickly and wrapped his arms around her.

"Where is she? " She choked out between sobs.

Steve let her go and grabbed her hand.  They walked over to the willow tree and stopped.

He gestured toward the stone all by itself under the tree.

She slowly walked over and fell to her knees sobbing.

Jasmine had great parents growing up.  They were there when she needed them and she never went without anything.  But,  work was always first.  They spent so much time traveling for worl that Jasmine's Nana basically raised her. 

Steve knelt down beside her.

"How did she pass? " Jasmine choked out.

"She passed in her sleep. " Steve said wrapping his arms around her again.

"I missed 5 years with her. " Jasmine said sobbing.

Steve sighed rubbing her back," It's not your fault, sweetheart. "

"Did she have a nice funeral?" Jasmine whispered.

Steve nodded, " you know Tony only has the best everything. "

Jasmine glanced over to Tony and Natasha,  "you planned her funeral? "

Jasmine's grandfather had passed about 8 years before.  Her Nana only had 1 daughter and that was Jasmine's mom who had passed already.  There was no on else to plan her funeral besides Jasmine.

Tony and Natasha walked over sitting on the ground beside Steve and Jasmine.

"Of course I planned her funeral.  She was our Nana. " Tony said with a soft smile.

Jasmine's Nana had came to visit not long after she started working for Tony.  After Jasmine had introduced her to the team she basically told them they were her family too. 

Jasmine cried and leaned over hugging Tony.

He frowned rubbing her back.

"It was a beautiful service,  jazz. " Natasha whispered as she ran her fingers through Jasmine's hair.

Jasmine sniffled looking at Natasha, " Did she know I loved her so much? "

Natasha couldn't help as a tear slid down seeing her best friend falling apart, "of course she knew you loved her.  She was so proud of you,  of the woman you have become. She left you some things.  I have them put up at the tower if you're ready for them. "

Jasmine wiped her eyes with her shirt sleeve and nodded standing up.

"Do you want to drive or ride with one of us? " Steve asked as they reaches the cars.

"Maybe I should ride with someone. "  She whispered.

"Tony you take your car,  I'll ride Steve's bike,  and Steve you drive Jasmine's car. " Natasha said and they all nodded in agreement.
