Epilogue
-Church-
"You may now kiss the bride." Father Lantom happily said, as Tony and Pepper exchanged kisses.
The whole crowd broke into applause as they witnessed a beautiful moment. After that, Tony and Pepper took pictures with everyone in attendance. Once that was taken care of, the people in the church started to walk outside and go towards the place where they will eat. Tony walked over to the groomsmen who were waiting for him.
"Congrats, Tony." Steve chuckled, placing his hand on Tony's shoulder.
"It only took me a few years to propose." Tony smiled and everyone laughed.
"This is great, Stark. This is the first wedding I have attended on Earth and it is very wonderful." Thor said.
"Yeah. This is really great." Bruce looked around the church and Tony, "You've gone real far, Tony."
"We've gone, real far. Don't forget about that. So, drinks are on me?" Tony laughed and then someone familiar appeared behind them.
"Thanks for having, Stark. It was a really good speech you gave up there." Strange said, giving Tony a hug.
"Thanks, Strange. Wasn't sure you'd be here..." Tony looked behind Strange, "along with the cape- do you always have to bring that around with you?"
"It keeps me safe."
"Well, no shit, Sherlock." Tony chuckled a saw Quill and Gamora walk up to them.
"Sorry about that swing, by the way." Steve apologised to Quill.
"It's alright, Cap. I deserved that anyway." Quill scoffed. "So, when will Gamora and I get married here?"
Tony walked pass him and tapped him on the arm, "When you're ready... Star-Man."
"I'm just playing with you." Tony laughed along with the Avengers behind him.
-Outside Avengers Tower-
Steve was nervous on what he was going to say on the podium and Tony was obviously getting annoyed by it. He was tapping his foot, biting his teeth and chewing some gum. Tony placed his hand on his forehead and sighed. Beside them were the original Avengers along with Scott and Hope. The person giving the speech right now was the secretary of defence, General Ross. He was mostly talking about the Sokovia Accords being removed from the law today.
"If you want, I can do the speech." Tony whispered.
"It's alright, Stark. I can do this." Steve exhaled.
"Suit yourself. You look nervous as balls right now." Tony scoffed.
After a few more lines, Ross was done explaining. Steve walked up to the podium and received a applause from the crowd. Once they were done clapping, Steve started to speak.
"I know. It's been a harsh couple of weeks trying to rebuild your life after the devastating event that wiped out half of the universe. But there's nothing to fear. The threat has been apprehended and will serve a life-long sentence in a galaxy far away..." Steve paused and since everyone was clapping. "Now, for the announcement."
"Look, look." Tony nudged Bruce who was falling asleep. "He's sweating."
"How do you know?" Bruce asked.
"Because his mask is off." Tony sighed and received a snore from Banner.
"There are many superheroes in the world. There is no denying that. Some may see it as dangerous, and some will see it as hope. Well today, there will be two Avengers teams that will be existing." Steve read the paper that was on front of him. "There are the New Avengers; led by Doctor Strange and the members are Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Falcon, Black Panther, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. Bucky Barnes will be defending Wakanda under the name of White Wolf. And the Avengers; led by Iron Man and the members are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Ronin, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Thank you."
Steve smiled and waved goodbye to the people who were clapping their hands. He returned to his seat on the side and sighed. When he looked to his right, everyone was laughing.
"What? What's so funny?" Steve asked.
"Your..." Tony couldn't say it because he kept on laughing. "zipper is open."
Everyone started to laugh so hard that some of the audience took notice. The ones who were laughing the hardest were Scott, Tony and Natasha.
"Is this really what we're discussing?" Steve asked but couldn't help and chuckled.
Suddenly Strange walked towards them with the Eye of Agomotto on. Behind him were Quill, Gamora and Nebula.
"Visiting hours will be over very soon. And it won't be open for a while." Strange said.
Tony and Steve looked at each other.
-Unnamed Planet-
"Too peaceful for my liking." Tony said, with a triangle in the center of his suit.
"Well..." Strange sighed, "He said he wanted to rest. Never fight again. Rest to infinity."
They walked through the cornfields of the planet. It was nice and peaceful and the birds were humming in the distance. On front of them was a scarecrow with Thanos's armor hanging on it. Farther up was a huge museum with Thanos looking into the distance. He was happy to see the heroes approach them.
"No gauntlet." Thanos chuckled, showing his left hand.
"Doesn't mean you can kill us." Tony said, as they slowly approached him.
"Gamora. Nebula." Thanos greeted in a low voice.
"Hello, Father." Gamora and Nebula both said.
"Do you know the reason to why I have come here?" Thanos asked, taking a seat on the steps and continued to look at the sunset.
"Why?" Steve asked.
"To reflect on my past mistakes." Thanos sighed and looked at his hands, "I have failed, not because faith wanted me to fail, but because I have failed myself."
"You didn't fail us." Gamora said, but Nebula scoffed. "Alright, maybe only me."
"Sorry, by the way. Because you're kind of my father-in-law." Quill muttered.
Tony looked at him and shook his head, "Don't encourage, Quill."
"I shall stay here for about ten years or so and I shall return to fulfill my destiny." Thanos smiled.
"And we'll be ready." Tony said.
"For the fight." Steve continued.
"And it shall be a good one." Thanos stood up and started walking towards the museum, "Farewell for now, Avengers."
"Dad," Gamora called, walking up the steps and hugging Thanos, "I love you."
Thanos had a tear in his eye, "I love you too, little one."
