A/N: Keepcalmandwrite you are amazing. Okay this is the end BUT if I get 1 more review on the other one this will only be an ALTERNATE ENDING! This is the last chapter before the epilogue and I hope that it's just an alternate ending but I never get any reviews so here is your ending for now.

Please review I am beggin' here

Tony

Nat's POV:

I break the door open and my nose is assaulted by a horrid smell. I gasp and before looking up at the scene before me I run and shut down the elevator and turn off my comm.

I return to the bathroom and finally look at what I found behind the locked door. In Tony's old bathroom I found him. He was sitting in his oversized bathtub that is filled with his own blood. There is no bottle of alcohol to be seen so I know he really meant this and he didn't do it because he was in a depressed drunken stupor. I find what he used to slice his veins opened with, not a blade but a piece of broken mirror. It was sitting beside the note laying on the vanity.

Dear friends;

I am sorry to leave you all like this, I know I'm a hypocrite since I got mad when Natasha did it but now I understand her. I knew this would happen if I lost one more person. The person I lost this time hit me harder than losing my own parents. I realized I lost Pepper because I couldn't get my head on straight and just ask her to prom and show her that I love her.

So Pepper I am sorry I left you but you need to be happy and I know you can't be with me. I hope you finally can be happy. Just know that I will always love you Pep.

Bruce buddy, my science brother. I am glad that I found someone to share my love of science with. In my will I left all of my labs to you. I hope you use them to find that cure you are looking for.

Thor, I know we won't all that close and we fought quite a bit. So point break don't take this hard just remember I never liked rainy weather.

Clint my pranking buddy. I hope you carry on our legacy and follow through on that prank on Nick. Also I hope you enjoy the view from the roof of the tower. I set up you a shooting range up there and I also made you new and improved bow.

Natasha I know we never got along to well but I saw you as an annoying little sister I never had. Treat Steve right for me and help him through this. I understand if this upsets you little red but you have the right to cuss at my dead body all you want.

Steve I know for a fact you are going to take this hard. Do not I repeat not blame yourself for not seeing this coming, no one did. None of you could have stopped me either. Just know I will be at your side for everything. I will be at your wedding; I will even be there when you meet your first child. I hope he is the perfect mix of you both. Just know that I will keep my promise even after this.

This is the end of my story but guys yours are all just getting good.

Anthony Howard Stark.

I finished reading it and actually found tears in my eyes. I go to the hallway and sit on the floor by the closed door. I call 911 and give our location when I hang up I finally get a chance to break down and let my walls fall.

Before I know it I hear Steve's footsteps coming towards me. I see the question in his eyes and I just nod in response. I get up and put the note in Steve's pocket, I know he knows what it is but he doesn't mess with it. He makes a move towards the closed door and I catch his arm.

"No Steve, you don't need to see that."

"I am sorry you had to find him baby. I know it's going to be hard to unsee that." He says as he embraces me.

"I will be fine," I whisper before I go to start the elevators back up.

I lead Steve to the garage as the people go collect Tony.

"We should get back to the house and inform the others," I say.

"Yeah but let's take a cab I don't think I can drive," he admits. In the cab I message each of the boys and Pepper.

By the time we reach the house they are all there. I walk in and I forgot that I had some of Tony's blood on my hand from the vanity table.

"No!" shouts Pepper.

Steve hands Tony's note to Bruce before leading me upstairs to clean up. When we come down Bruce still holds the folded note while Clint tries to comforts Pepper.

"Here Steve, I cannot read it aloud," Bruce says holding out the paper towards Steve. I grab it knowing that Steve wouldn't be able to read it aloud either. I take my time reading each part to them. Then I set the paper down and I go upstairs to go find my release.

Bruce's POV:

Tony left me all of his labs. Why would he do that for me? I recall confiding in him once after school in the lab that I wanted to find a cure for the other guy so I could be myself. So I could live with Betty without the fear of possibly hurting her in anyway. I am sad Tony is gone but I am glad that in his final moments he thought of his friends.

Clint's POV:

I can't believe Tony's gone. Who else is going to assist me in my pranks? Our biggest prank was in the making. We were planning on pranking Fury before we graduated. I also cannot believe he remembered from a few months ago that I told him I wanted to build me a shooting range in a high altitude place with a new bow and some special arrows. I wish he would have been here to show me it in person but now I guess he cant. The world lost a very good, smart man today.

Thor's POV:

Tony's gone? But how could this be he always seemed so carefree. How can you be that depressed and nobody knows? I want to cry but when I am to emotional I know that it causes the weather to act up. Tony doesn't want me to allow my emotions to control me. He wishes for me to be strong and I will. I feel bad that Natasha had found him. She seems so fragile since her near death coma I know she is very strong but that can harm even the strongest of people. I shall watch out for her just in case.

Pepper's POV:

I loved Tony so very much. This kills me to know that I will never see his smile or hear his laugh ever again. All because I doubted him and said yes to Hammer. I cannot believe I lost Tony forever because of one simple word. I never thought Tony was attached I thought it was all a game for him. He was never the settling down type. Now he's gone because of me but he still loves me even though he isn't here. I need to go home; I need privacy to mourn my soul mate without an audience. With that I run from the house and to my own to mourn my lost love.

Steve's POV:

My best friend is gone. The guy I told everything, from my love for Natasha, the proposal, our inability to not have a child. He knew it all. He knew that I would blame myself for not seeing his depression. I am glad to know he didn't break our promise. We promised to be there for each other no matter what happens. He had told me that he planned to propose to Pepper at Natasha and mines wedding. He told no one but me. He had written that he believed that Natasha and I will conceive a son. I hope we do so I may name him, with Nat's approval, James Anthony Rogers. But for now I must let tony go and be there for my fiancé. I know that the next few months are going to be difficult for us all.

A/N: So the Epilogue is coming next!
