The words his friend spoke echo in his head as the years passed, his memories fitting into the prophecy perfectly.
Danger approaches
Thanos stood taller than any around him, his skin the color of a fading bruise. He held a blade in his hand poised to push it through Tony.
"I hope they remember you."
It will come with an army
Tony couldn't breath as he fell towards the portal back to Earth. In front of him spread an endless army of Chitauri with a nuclear missile heading strait at it. It won't be enough.
And relics more powerful than any other
Tony stared at the blue cube in front of him with awe. This little cube had enough energy to open portals across galaxies.
The memory shifted to Vision, with the mind stone in his head, practicing his powers. He changed density, strength, speed, he could fly, read minds, and so much more than he even realized.
The memory shifted once again to Tony reading a report about an anomaly in China. There had been large scale destruction but all of it was reversed. All of it, everything from a sprang to a death was undone.
Those who seek to avenge will help you
The avengers speared in his mind. Black Widow, the Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Hawkeye. Then came Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange.
Some will smile with daggers hidden behind their backs
The Black Widow was dressed as a secretary. She smiled sweetly.
"I'm Natile Rushman."
Some will hate you for things out of your control
The Scarlet Witch sneered at Tony, her hands glowing a blood red.
"You killed my parents. It was your bomb."
Some will betray your trust
Tony, Captain America, and the Winter Soldier stood in a Hydra base in Siberia. Tony was facing the two super soldiers with a pained expression.
"Did you know?"
The Captain looked away.
"Yes."
Some will just leave
Bruce Banner was in a quinjet after the battle with Ultron.
"I'm sorry. I can't."
When all your plans turn to ash
Peter was in his arms as he crumbled into ash.
"Please Mr. Stark I don't want to go."
"I'm sorry."
You are a creator so build your salvation
Tony walked into the Wakandan Palace with an air of grim determination. Those that were left followed in desperate hopes that he would have a plan to bring everyone back. Tony stopped when he reached the lab.
You have a plan?" Captain America asked.
Tony nodded, not looking at the man he once considered a friend, "Friday activate protocol: From The Ashes."
"You got it boss," rang out in the lab.
Tony turned to the group with a grim expression, "We have work to do."
