More and more cars parked in the front yard as everyone arrived. Standing in the front porch, dressed in all black, Jessica greeted their guests one by one. Every hero who had ever met Tony had come to give them their condolences. She knew a major part of them, with some exceptions, like the talking tree that came with the talking raccoon. Even Carol Danvers showed up. When she did, Jessica thanked her, not only for being there but also for that time where she saved her, Tony and Nebula from dying alone in space. For the most part, nobody would say much more than a few words, like it is usual at funerals. However, one particular man seemed interested in presenting himself to Jessica.

"I'm sorry for your lost." He said. Jessica couldn't help but stare at his eye patch and wonder what happened to him. "We haven't met. I'm Nick Fury." He offered her his hand and she shook it. "This is Maria Hill." He pointed at the woman standing behind him.

"Hi, thanks for coming." She said, softly. "I'm Jessica."

"I know who you are." And without saying anything else, he went inside the house and started talking to the other guests. He had left Jessica a bit perplexed, but she didn't have time to give it to much thought because all her attention was focused on the couple that was walking towards her.

"Hi." May was the first to say something. It had been so long since they had seen each other. Jessica hugged her in response, glad that she had come. Besides her, Peter looked at them hugging with his eyes puffed. He hadn't been strong enough to stop the tears. After all, he had lost his mentor and the man whom he looked up to.

"Hi, May."

"Sweetheart..." She rubbed Jessica's back, comforting her. "How are you holding up?"

Jessica didn't respond and May pulled away. She knew how bad losing Tony had affected the two teens. The young girl now turned to her boyfriend. She could feel a knot building up in her chest when they established eye contact. They hugged as well, but theirs lasted longer. Peter thought of his last long hug, which had been with Mr Stark before he died. Both of them felt the need to burst into tears, but both knew that it would make it even worse. If Jessica started crying, Peter would too and the other way around. By the time they ended the hug, May had already got inside with the rest. The teens stood close to each other. 

"We'd better go inside." Jessica whispered and Peter nodded. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek and held onto his arm, accompanying him indoors. He didn't say anything as he examined every inch of the house. It was his first time visiting it and it felt weird to imagine Mr. Stark living there. Jessica was on the lookout for his reaction as they walked into the living room, where a few more people were talking between them. The rest were outside, getting ready to start the ceremony. They saw Tony's Iron Man helmet on the coffee table. Jessica let go of Peter's arm to pick it up. She was going to miss him a lot. 

Peter found an old picture of him and Mr Stark, the one Tony kept. He spent a long moment staring at it while Jessica was still focused on the helmet. As she held the helmet, she noticed a blinking blue light reflected on the palm of her hand. It was coming from a button located on the interior of the helmet. She pressed it and, unexpectedly, the next thing she saw was Tony's face. 

"Everybody wants a happy ending, right?"

The helmet was projecting a recorded hologram of Tony. Everyone in the room turned to Jessica, who left the helmet back on the coffee table as the message kept playing and everyone gathered around to listen. 

"But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and a normal version of the planet has been restored... If there ever was such a thing. God, what a world. Universe, now. If you told me ten years ago that we weren't alone, let alone, you know, to this extent, I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised. But come on, you know? That epic forces of darkness and light that have come into play. And, for better or worse, that's the reality Morgan's gonna have to find a way to grow up in." 

Once he said that, Jessica looked down to her right, where the little five-year-old girl was sitting. The toddler leaned closer to Jessica, not knowing what to do. The situation wasn't fit for a child of five years. It was only natural that she felt uncomfortable.

"So I found the time and I recorded a little greeting... In the case of an untimely death on my part. Not that, death at any time isn't untimely. This time travel thing that we're gonna try and pull off tomorrow, it's got me scratching my head about this. But then again, that's the hero gig. Part of the journey is the end. Everything's gonna work out exactly the way it's supposed to." Just when everybody thought the message had finished, he talked for one last time. "I love you 3000."

After that, his image disappeared. Nobody said anything for a while, taking their time to process Tony's last speech. Jessica didn't expect less from him, yet she was taken by surprise after that. Peter held her hand and she gave him a weak smile. 

After drying out her tears, Pepper stood up. "It's time to say our goodbyes."

She was about to pick up Morgan when Jessica offered her help. "I got her."

"Thank you."

They all moved outside, advancing towards the lake near the house. Pepper picked up the pillow made out of flours she had prepared for this occasion. On top of the pillow, Tony's very first arc reactor with an inscription. "PROOF THAT TONY STARK HAS A HEART" They finally made it to the shore of the lake. Peter, standing next to Jessica, put his arm around her waist, longing to feel her contact at a moment like this. She looked at him, her vision a little bit blurry from the tears forming in her eyes. To her other side, Steve was glancing at them. Jessica noticed and nodded at him. He had been good to her during all those years, even if he knew that Jessica would support Tony and go against him while they were on bad terms.  

Pepper left the pillow on the lake, letting it float away. Everyone stood in silence, showing their respects for the fallen Avenger. As she watched it drift off, Jessica felt a tear rolling down her cheek. Suddenly, she felt Morgan's hand wiping away her tears. Jessica looked at her and genuinely smiled for the first time that day. She gave her a kiss on the cheek as her way to thank her for comforting her.

"Jess?" The toddler called her, leaning close to her ear so nobody would hear her.

"Yes, Morgoona?"

She looked over at Peter. "That's the prince from the picture."

Jessica remembered the picture she was talking about. Their picture from her senior prom. Peter, who had noticed she was talking about him, turned to her, with a small smile. "Prince?"

"Yeah, he is." Jessica told her. "His name's Peter."

"Hi, little one." He greeted her, meeting her for the first time.

Once the ceremony was finished, Pepper approached her girls. She spoke directly to Morgan as she took her from Jessica's arms and let her on the ground. "Hey, why don't you go talk to your uncle Happy? He hasn't heard from you today." The child ran towards the porch, sitting next to Happy. Jessica watched her go as Pepper called her. "Jess, there's something I needed to talk to you." They both were still looking at the little girl. "She will need a sister. A real sister."

That made Jessica turn to look at her, frowning. "What?"

Pepper sighed. "You know Tony wanted to adopt you."

"Yeah, he offered me that." A weak smile appeared on her face as she recalled the conversation from years ago. 

"If it hadn't been because you were 18 after the snap..." Pepper continued. "We would have adopted you without a doubt. You were so good with Morgan from the first day, you just- you were so good." Jessica had an idea of where the conversation was leading but didn't want to jump into any conclusions before time. "We have a situation now: You're 17 again. I'm not going to force you, of course, but-"

Jessica didn't let her finish the sentence. "Yes."

"Yes?"

"Of course." Pepper embraced her. She was finally going to be an official member of the family. Although, she already had felt like one. They pulled apart and smiled at each other. Pepper had to leave to talk to their guests, whereas Jessica found her way back next to Peter. She smiled at him. 

"What are you going to do after this?" He asked her, taking her hand into his. "Are you coming back to school?"

"As long as I'm with you," She looked into his eyes, which were red and reflected his grief. Something horrible had happened to both of them, they'd lost someone very important. But she knew they would be okay. She knew it because Tony had told her. And she trusted him more than anyone else. "I'll go anywhere."
