"Daddy! Daddy!" A young girl yelled running down to meet her dad in his workshop. Tony stark had just gotten home from a mission in the Middle East, when his four year old daughter Emmalynn came running into his workshop. "Daddy!" She yelled with a smile on her face.
"Hey Em." He said. He dropped to one knee and spread his arms. She ran into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Welcome home daddy." She said. He picked her up and slung her over his uninjured shoulder, she laughed. "Mama was so whorried. She even chried." Emma said.
"Well we should cheer her up shouldn't we?" He sat her down and sat on the bench to the piano. She climbed up and sat down next to him.
"I'm around, I figured it out. So far, so sad. There's a thorn, a cupids eye. No sides, in land side."
Pepper was cooking in the kitchen, when she heard the piano playing. She stopped to listen to the song.
"That's my love, all falls down. That's why I won't fold. Under fire, underground. That's why love don't wash."
She turned off the stove, and rushed to the living room. He sat at the piano with Emmalynn sitting next to him.
"Mama!" The young girl said. Tony stopped playing and turned to look at Pepper.
"You're home." She said.
"Yep." He smiled. She walked over to him and hugs him from behind.
"Welcome home." She said.
"Great to be home." He said.
"Been what's past, you see. I saw the second hand, thanks dad. Am I free? And was that me? Why is it always 5:30?"
"I'm going to go finish up dinner," She gave him a kiss and walked away. Leaving him with his daughter.
"Keep Pwaying!" She winced.
"That's why love, all falls down. That's why I don't fold. Love start fire, rolling underground. That's why love don't wash down."
"Wanna learn how to play the piano?" He asked her. She nodded her head and watches him play for a moment and then caught on. She played with a smile on her face.
"That's right." He said to her.
"It was never really bad; I was never really that alone. So it wound up where it lead, so it lays beside the road."
"I can play the piano daddy." She said.
"You sure can kiddo." He said.
"I had barely breathe, was the not the man to feel. So it turned as this as string and it catches in the wheel."
Pepper walked back out to the living room and saw Emma playing the piano.
"She truly is your daughter." She said. Tony turned to her and offered her his hand. She walked over to him and sat on his lap.
"Wouldn't claim it felt unfair, an asylum in my house. I could not escape his mouth…I could not escape his."
He pressed a kiss to Pepper's shoulder and patted Emma's head.
"For the moment I believe, as my hands adjust your hair. And let my cover blown I was never really there."
"Daddy…I wuv you." Emma said.
"I love you too Em." He said and hugged Pepper's waist tighter.
"It was just a little scared; I was just a little scared. You were never really here…Just a little bit."
