I feel overwhelmingly compelled to try and explain the Epilogue for this story. But first I seriously have to thank everyone who read, reviewed, followed and favorite this. You guys gave me life! Ok so let me try and sort out some things for you all. On to the subject of Tony's lack of emotion in the Epilogue—that was the point.

When I wrote that 'Tony felt an unnamed emotion filling him' it's because in my mind he's never had to deal with such horrific pain since the death of his parents when he fought Steve, Bucky and Hannah. Steve had been his friend who choose a former assassin who killed his parents over Tony himself. Also 'With innocent blood stained on his hands' Tony can't come bring himself to know that he's killed Hannah, someone he too became friends with. 'And a broken team torn into pieces because of everything' that's him having to swallow the fact that what he might have done destroyed the Avengers as a whole group. 'He didn't even know what to name the emotion' is simple—he's in a horrible state of denial. I tried to put myself in Tony's shoes and imagine 'what would I feel or in this case NOT feel'?

Ok so now onto Hannah's death. Having wrote 'Her body was now clinging to suspended animation, despite her wound having been surgically and internally healed' I have this idea in my head. The idea that Bucky could be frozen alive for years at a time made me think. That would be 'suspended animation' wouldn't it? Also I thought back to the 'Cradle' from Age of Ultron. How it could regenerate tissue and heal wounds and whatnot. What if Wakanda had the same sort of technology? If they can freeze Bucky what's to say they can't use a machine similar to the 'Cradle'?

Now here's where it might get tricky. 'Apparently I had had surgery before because three of my vertebra behind where my heart is located—where metal. Not just any metal—but made from Vibranium' How many of you remember this part? 'The Vibranium had slowly over the years began to absorb into the tissue of my spine so that my brainwaves were twice the normal speed. What's more was the fact that my body had grown so accustom to this 'strange normality' that even my bloodstream had traces of the metal that had fused with my red and white blood cells' So here's my thought on this part of the story—

The fact that Hannah has Vibranium fused to the tissue of her spine and are in her bloodstream with of her red and white blood cells makes me think of a few ideas. 'In the left side of her chest was a hole that was very deep.' In my mind's eye I have an image of Hannah lying with this hole in her chest—but the wound doesn't go all the way through. It's deep but not straight through her body. Now back to the 'Cradle' idea—if it can heal tissue who says it can't heal the internal injuries Hannah sustained? Who says that because of the Vibranium already in her body that that won't help the healing process? Ok so yeah that might be a bit of a stretch but this is 'Fiction' so I use that as a reason why this might work.

So now put that all together; Hannah is in suspended animation, what if Wakanda had their own 'Cradle', the wound wasn't completely through her whole body, the 'Cradle' can heal tissue and the Vibranium can help heal. What does that mean for Hannah? You decided.

Now onto probably the more pressing issue of 'when will we see Hannah again'? Since we as the general public have absolutely NO idea when the Avengers will come back we only know what we've been told by Marvel. There are more movies in the works from Black Panther to Avengers Infinity Wars. So who's to say that Steve and his team might not show up in the Black Panther movie? Who says that in the future movies that Tony and his team won't make an appearance? And of course there's the Infinity War movies!

Both Black Panther and Avengers Infinity Wars as set to come out in 2018 (thanks Google) and Captain Marvel is a wild card. I don't know about you but waiting until 2018 is a stretch of the imagination to continue this story as it is.

In short (or long depending on what you say) this story is FINISHED. There are no more chapters to add. Although I am toying with the idea of a Smutty one-shot between Bucky and Hannah. If I do write another story it won't have anything to do with this one.

So my dear readers, those who give the Plot Bunny cookies and give me a reason to continue writing I have this to say. Look out for my new stories and if you possibly can hold onto the idea that we will see Hannah again. Her story may be done for now—but it won't ever finish as long as Bucky is around.
