This was it, this was the Endgame.

Thanos and his Army, for one final battle. They would win this time, for everyone was back together again, although they did lose one member of the family. Natasha.

Bucky, Stephen, T'Challa, Shuri, Peter, Wanda, The Guardians, everyone, but Natasha.

She dedicated these past five years to bring everyone back, billions and billions of living beings, most didn't even know her, but she wanted to be good. She would want them to win, they will win.

It was cutting close, too close. Carol tried to bring him down and take away the gauntlet with the Infinity Stones. A sense of defeat filled the stomachs of every Avenger. They were about to lose, but Tony took his last brave action. This would kill him. The energy from the Stones will melt the metal of his suit into his skin, his brain will shut down, his heart would stop.

But, it was worth it. His Dad's had to be together, Pepper had to see another day, Morgan, and Peter had to grow up to be adults and live life to it's fullest. Billions of people will be lost if Tony didn't do this.

He took the gauntlet, slid it over his hand. The Avengers stood and watched, frozen, knowing that there was no stopping this, it's what had to be done. They heard his last words in slow-motion.

"And I....Am...Iron-Man, " then in a snap.

Thanos was defeated, he turned to dust and ash as he went along with his Army. The battlefield, covered in debris, dust, and blood. Parts of the Avengers Headquarters were scattered around, the signature 'A' in Avengers stood erect, the paint chipping off, scratched, sun-worn.

They gathered around Tony, who sat against a piece of the building. He had trouble catching his breath. Bucky and Steve, his adoptive-parents, watched in horror. Their son, one of the bravest, smartest, cleverest person to ever be alive in this vast multi-verse. Dying, painfully.

Steve, heard Bucky, choke out a gasp and a sob. They were both breaking, it felt as if they hadn't won. It felt as if they lost a million times. Like a shard of glass, impaling their chests. It burned, yet they also felt so numb. Steve dropped the broken shield and Mjolnir; Bucky dropped his gun, not caring if the safety was on. 

They watched as Rhodey stalked over to Tony, they exchanged a brief moment of eye contact. No words were spoken, but so much was said. Peter dropped to his knees, everyone heard the small voice, break into pieces. 

"We won, "

It didn't feel like a win. 

Steve felt the salty, warm tears rush down his face, as he sucked in a breath, he tried to be so strong. But, he couldn't. Bucky and Steve watched as Pepper pulled the sobbing child away, they watched as she kisses his cheek.

The realization finally settled in Bucky, he was dying. This would be the first time and last time in five years he would be able to see him, to hold him, to say, "I love you, buddy, ", the last time, but it wasn't enough time.

Bucky saw Steve breaking, blue eyes turning bluer as they filled with tears. His chest filling with a labored breath. Bucky squeezed his husband's hand tightly. "Come on, " he whispers and kisses the gloved knuckles.

The pair kneeled next to Pepper, she pulled away so the two could say a final goodbye.
