Content warning: character death and suicide.
Surprisingly, it’s Bruce who goes first. It’s a brain aneurysm, quick and painless. The Hulk never even has the chance to take over and Bruce is dead before he hits the floor.
Clint is next. It’s not complicated or drawn-out. It’s just that no one is there in the middle of that firefight, the one day he runs out of arrows a moment too early.
No one is really sure what happened to Thor. All they know is that his trips home to Asgard grew longer, his visits to Earth grew shorter, and one day, he just never came back at all.
Natasha never was quite herself again after Clint died. But she never gave up, and did everything in her power continue on. What wasn’t in her power was when the Red Room wanted to reclaim their own. When she ends up back on the inside, she decides she’d rather die that become what she once was, and puts the pistol in her mouth.
Tony beats all the odds. He passes away in his sleep, at the age of 104, when the shrapnel is finally too much for his heart to bear. He dies happy, content with his past life, and knowing that he left a legacy for his son, his only child, to continue.
The serum left Steve functionally immortal, meaning unless he is physically harmed beyond the point of no return, he will keep living. The point of no return happens in the year 2968, during the Battle of Titan. His dying thought is, “I just want to see my old friends again.”
