Legacy
At first she didn't understand. When he closed the weapons manufacturing section, all he did was murmur something about legacy to her. When he became Iron Man, he told her about his legacy again, but she didn't understand, until one fateful night when he broke down. He told her everything. About the cave, and Yinsen, and she suddenly understood how he changed. The company was his legacy, but it was also his father's legacy, and his grandfather's. The suit was his legacy. Iron Man's legacy, his legacy to the world.
But when the little dark haired girl with the blue eyes sings an Italian lullaby, and when the little dark haired boy with the brown eyes draws a rocket model for her, or when he pulls both of them in his lap and plays the piano, that's when she thinks that this is their legacy. And it's the most beautiful of all.
I posted a new story (Tears) I'd love it if you read it :)
