SHIELD, and Fury in particular, has been central to this entire string of films. It's a little odd that we don't at least see Stark and Banner or Hawkeye after the funeral, or at least mentioned, or in a post-credits scene, or something to tie their presence in because this was a world-altering event in terms of the Marvel CU. It's not a big deal, but IMO an event this big demanded the presence of those guys, at least in minimal ways.
