"Dad would have liked to meet you," Morgan said.

"It's true. Tony always wanted to, by Peter's descriptions you seemed perfect. And he loved Pete, it would have been nice," Pepper laughed.

"Miss Romanoff would have loved meeting you too!"

You smiled at the Starks.

"I would've loved to meet them too."

Everyone stood in a spread out group at the back of the Stark cabin. It was quiet, almost uncomfortable. But because it was deeply depressing. The avengers lost their two greatest warriors to the fight of their lives. Had they not sacrificed themselves, no one would be standing together now, funeral or not.

Pepper placed down a floating bouquet of flowers with the "Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart" arc reactor plaque down into the water. Pepper was a strong woman, although she lost the love of her life, she cherished every moment they had together. Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, placed down a similar bouquet carrying a picture of Natasha Romanoff and a clay made peanut butter sandwich that Morgan made for her. Carol let the tears fall as she placed Nat's memorial down. The two had grown quite close during the five years they had together.

The quiet remained as you all watched the memorials float across the lake.

Peter's mind was running wild. This was really it. He wouldn't be in the same room as Tony again, he would never spar with Nat again...

He gripped your hand tighter than ever so scared and vulnerable and all he wanted was you. You were the only thing able to keep him calm other than May. You noticed his tension and softly rubbed his arm with your free hand to let him know you were there for him. Your thumb holding his hand ran across the top of his, comforting him more.

After the memorial was over, the Avengers socialised and told some happy stories about Tony and Nat. Like Bruce saying how Tony has such a powerful mind, his science bro. Fury saying how even though Tony was a pain in the ass he was a great person overall. Steve and Thor commenting on their Big Three moments. Clint saying how Nat would never give up. Wanda and Carol saying even though Nat was tough as nails, she had the biggest, softest heart. Maria saying how these two were so brave. Happy saying how Tony and Nat were his first loyal friends.

Harley saying Tony was the best friend he ever had.

Harley Keener, you learned his name, was yours and Peter's age. He came all alone with the help of Happy. You dragged Peter over to Harley to meet him since he was standing in the back all alone.

"Hi, I'm y/n l/n and this is Peter Parker," you smiled at the tall brunette boy. Peter waved.

"Harley Keener," he pointed to Peter, "Spider-man right? Tony told me lots about you."

Peter's jaw dropped.

Harley had a light chuckle, "Don't worry I won't tell anyone."

"I'm really sorry about Tony."

Harley looked down, "Well he was a great guy. He took care of me. Basically a father to me. Don't be sorry, he saved us."

"Same here- i mean he was like a father to me too," Peter nodded. Both the boys began to have tears eyes again.

You reached out and rubbed Harley's arm knowing he was in as much pain as anyone else here. Peter still gripped your hand, watching Harley closely.

"Stay strong, it was nice meeting you, Harley," you said.

He smiled, "Yeah you too."

"Let's go home y/n," Peter whispered and you nodded in agreement then went to find May. She was talking with Pepper, Maria, Wanda and Carol.

"Oh hey, you kids ready to go?" she asked softly.

Peter nodded.

"Bye Mrs Stark, bye miss Hill, miss Maximoff and miss Danvers," Peter waved to his fellow Avengers.

Then the three of you walked to May's car and headed back to Peter's apartment.

"Carol had cool hair!" you said trying to cool the mood.

Peter laughed and smiled. Laughed. That angelic laugh that was like music and soft rain on a lovely day. His laugh made you smile. You hadn't seen him smile or laugh in a few days. Slowly he could be okay again.

"You're right she does," Peter replied.

You both smiled at each other. Then you scooted over close to Peter in the car, leaning your head on his shoulders and hugging him. You kissed his nose before doing so and he softly smiled again.

You two sat like that the rest of the ride home. He kissed your head often, happy to be in your arms again.
