"That would be a lot of work and responsibility. To be both a doctor and run Stark Industries. I don't think I'd be able to handle that." Kagome grimaced lightly as she rubbed at the back of her neck. She didn't even want to imagine just how much responsibility that would be.
"I can understand that. Being Iron Man and running the family company is no picnic."
"Then why do it? Why do both and not just one or the other?" she was truly curious.
"Because... I saw a side of war, that I don't want others to see. And now that I have a kid, I don't want you to see it either."
Biting the inside of her cheek, she squashed down the sudden feeling of guilt. He was her father, and had no idea, of what she lived through in the year between her 15th and 16th birthdays. Her mother knew, but he didn't.

"Thanks. That... that means a lot."
"Hey, every kid needs a hero. But not every kid can say their parent is a hero. You got bragging rights now."
Snorting to try and stop herself from suddenly laughing, Kagome merely shook her head.
AN: Tony is boasting his own ego by allowing Kagome bragging rights. :| Read, enjoy, and review!
