We walked out of the house, Pepper was holding a flower wreath that in the middle said 'proof that Tony Stark has a heart.' And set it on the lake, I knelt with Pepper and Morgan.

Everyone was there, I just felt numb at this point, I didn't cry I just sat and watched, hoping that this was all a bad dream. The wake was sweet, we all sat around and talked about my dad and how much he'd helped us, we sat in the garden for hours.

Parker came and sat next to me "Hey Zanna, how you holding up?" "You know, I'm hoping I can just wake up from this nightmare." I told him. "Me too." He sighed m.
"Parker, I'm so sorry. I know how much you loved him." I looked away. "I'm sorry too." He whispered as he put an arm around me.

This tall, young guy game to us.  "Hey. You're Rosanna right? You're Tony's firefly?" He asked. "Hey, do I know you?" I asked. "I'm Harley, we met years ago." He nodded. "Oh! Harley, hey!" I smiled. "Wow you look...great job growing up." He smiled. "Thanks." I returned the smile, Parker got up, he thought it'd be better if we talked alone.

"So..." he began. "So...?" I questioned. "I'm so so so sorry about Tony, he was a good man." Harley stuttered. "I know he was, this just proved it I guess." I sighed. "So, that guy...is he like your boyfriend? Or?" He asked. "Not exactly." I told him. "I see." He nodded.

We talked about my dad for a while and then I sat with Morgan and Happy. "How you doing, sport?" Happy asked Morgan. "Good." Morgan smiled. "You good?" He repeated.
"Mm-hmm." She nodded. "Good. You hungry?" He asked.
"Mm-hmm." She repeated again. "What you hungry for, kiddo?" I asked. "Cheeseburgers." She told us.

Happy looked at me with a smile and began to tear up.
"You know, your dad liked cheeseburgers." Happy sighed.
"Okay." Morgan nodded. "I'm gonna get you all the cheeseburgers you want." Happy smiled. "Okay." Morgan replied.
