' Are you okay, son ?'
That was what he expected his father to ask . They had both state crying , although Howard Stark did it in a manner very different . There was reorganized his desk , placing it in front of the window . From over there could see he driveway , the last place where she there was state before Jarvis took her . Never He came back , and Anthony always He was standing in front of his father, waiting , waiting for him to ask him what he needed. hear . Both had state crying , each one to his own way . Howard did it in silence , sitting by the window , with a bottle of Jack D in hand.
—Come on, Master Tony, the Mr. Stark needs work ," Jarvis said , taking the boy's hand.
The butler had been with his family since before Howard and Maria were married . Jarvis was practically a brother to Howard and a second father to Tony. He never questioned it , never I was trying lecture him as he sometimes lectured Tony ; however, Howard disciplined him . Everything in the house was more bright when Maria was there . I could have that effect in the room . For Tony and Howard, she was the woman most beautiful on the planet , although the press sensationalist considered it too normal for someone like a Stark. She wasn't an actress neither scientist ; her family lacked fame and fortune , and when people I was trying call her gold digger , Howard sometimes had to pay demands by assault .
" Work , huh?" Tony snapped .
Maria possessed a beauty different , one quality different . Jarvis considered her a classy woman . And I knew she was one of the few people on Earth capable of doing really smile at Howard and Anthony Stark, not the nonsense they painted for the cameras . When Jarvis looked at the six- year- old , he knew that Tony would never I would smile again .
Present
Removing his armor by force had left a cut on the cheek and the shoulders torn . He walked through the streets dragging his invention . Tony had achieved return it partially to its suitcase shape. However, he had to drag his legs and carry the helmet under the armpit . While walked , Tony remembered the pain he felt When Magneto squeezed his armor , how it trembled the bones crashing against the floor .

"That you pass a good late ," he told the store clerk .
He dragged the armor to an alley , opened the bottle of Jack and began to drink . Without thinking what would it be like his last swallow , no promises . "I'm not what you think ," he dismissed the question he asked this Doctor Blake . It was just a ask hypothetical , a curiosity . I could stall when I would like to , I didn't have by what . Not when he world gave him so many excuses to drink .
" So in that you wasted you life working , dad , in ways to protect ourselves from people as him ," Tony thought , referring to Howard Stark and the Master of Magnetism , great men in forms very different .
Howard Stark was considered a revolutionary in the field of technology , a pioneer of biotechnology . But he was more acquaintance for their weapons . Tony followed in their footsteps, and sometimes I feared follow him in other appearance of your life . He drank he contents of the bottle and laughed at his father. People worshipped him , the man who, on his way home from work , would open a bottle and sat down sadly by the window , waiting for someone return . Feeling the commotions of the battle , Tony understood that the world was not molded by people like his father, nor not even by He . They were powerless before him. cancer , dementia and change .
—For the New Gods —Tony lifted the bottle and poured a little more through the throat .
While He drank , he choked , his hand was shaking as a thought slipped by toward his subconscious .
' That happens if something has happened ?'
This was followed by other thought .
' That happens Yeah someone it turns out injured ?'
Other while left drop the bottle , the whiskey covering his shoes .
' That happens Yeah someone dies ?'
Picked up his armor and dragged her by where there was came . Luckily, there was a garage and an ATM automatic in he way ; after all , I would have to reimburse a lot of people . Used his gauntlet to enter in one, leaving the money in the manager 's office . Then he entered in he garage , the workshop, where could build . They had left a red car inside ; well, Tony wanted some red for his invention .
