We see Fury’s pager on some platform with the Captain Marvel symbol flashing. Then we cut to Captain America with a beard watching “missing” reports (as a result of the decimation) with Black Widow, he says what’s happened is like a nightmare, to which Black Widow says that she’s had better nightmares. James Rhodes comes in says that the thing (pager) has stopped flashing. They all gather around the pager, Rhodey says that it just stopped, Captain America says to reboot it and try again, Rhodey replies that they didn’t know what it did in the first place. Black Widow says that Fury knew what it did and they should just try again. The camera pans and we see Captain Marvel behind her asking: “Where’s Fury”. Also, near the end we see the text: Captain Marvel will return in Avengers: Endgame
