B: Did we get them all?
R: You telling me this'll actually work?

There's a pause as everyone starts to realize that someone was missing. When they realized who Bruce looked towards Clint.

B: Clint, where's Nat?

The silence from Clint tells them all they need to know. The mission was completed but at a dire cost. Sadness overtakes everyone. Bruce falls to his knees and pounds the floor in grief. Cut to outside HQ. Lakeside, Tony, Steve, Thor, Clint, and Bruce are mourning their fallen teammate and friend.

T.S: Do we know if she had family?
S.R: Yeah. Us.

Thor was confused by the tone of everyone's voice. But he knew what they were going through. He was upset that they lost Natasha and he cared about her like a best friend. But Thor finally had real hope that he was going to be able to see you.

T: What?
T.S: I just asked him a question-
T: Yeah, you're acting like she's dead. Why are we acting like she's dead? We have the stones, right? As long as we have the stones, Cap, we can bring her back, isn't that right? (GROWLING.) So stop this shit. We're the Avengers, get it together.
C.B: We can't get her back.
T: Wha- what?
C.B: It can't be undone. It can't.

Thor dryly laughs at Clint's remark.

T: I'm sorry. No offense, but you're a very earthly being. Okay? We're talking about space magic. And -can't- seems very definitive don't you think?
C.B: Yeah, look, I know that I'm way outside my paygrade here. But she still isn't here, is she?
T: No, that's my point-
C.B: It can't- be undone. Or that's at least what the red floating guy had to say. (shouts) Maybe you wanna go talk to him, okay? GO GRAB YOUR HAMMER, AND YOU GO FLY AND TALK TO HIM!

Clint's anger is quickly replaced with grief Clint cared about her. She was like the sister he never had. And he missed her so much already.

C.B: It was supposed to be me. She sacrificed her life for that goddamn stone. She bet her life on it.

In a burst of anger, Bruce grabs a bench and hurls it clear across the lake. His anger spent, he turns to the others with a resigned look on his face.

B: She's not coming back. We have to make it worth it. We have to.
S.R: We will.

Inside the Avenger's Lab Tony carefully places the stones. In the bran new gauntlet he made with a piece of the iron man suit. While Bruce and Rocket watched and made sure they didn't explode. With nervous precision, Tony manipulates the machine and carefully places all six stones into the gauntlet.

R.T: Boom!

Tony and Bruce jump a bit, and quickly groan at Rocket's joke. In another room with the new finished gauntlet. Everyone started gathered around it all knowing what had to be done next.

R.T: All right. The glove's ready. Question is, who's gonna snap their freaking fingers?

Thor knew that if he was the one who snapped those fingers you'd be back safely. And that's what made his heart at ease. The thought of you being back with him seeing you again. As he thought about getting the chance to apologize. For every bag thing that happened to you.

T: I'll do it.
S.L: Excuse me?
T: It's okay.

Tony, Steve, and Scott blocked Thor's path to the gantlet.

EVERYONE: No, no, no, whoa. Stop. Stop. Wait a sec. Hey, hey-
S.R: Wait, wait, Thor, just wait. We haven't decided who's gonna put that on yet.
T: I'm sorry. What, we're just sitting around waiting for the right opportunity?
S.L: We should at least discuss it.
T: No, no, sitting here staring at that thing is not gonna bring everybody back...That's not what's going to bring (y/n) back. (Sighs) I'm the strongest Avenger, okay? So this responsibility falls upon me. It's my duty.
T.S: It's not about that-
T: (hushes everyone up) It's not that- Stop it! Just let me!
