"I HAVEN'T SHOWN YOU CAPTAIN SPARKLES YET!" Morgan shrieked. Tony got a close-up of her nose as she ran into the kids' room, giggling.

"I've already met Captain Sparkles," Tony protested. "It's not like you've never seen me before."

The video camera wobbled and shook, waving everywhere as Morgan leaped into her pile of stuffed animals. She shoved a teddy bear up to the camera and made it wave its little arm.

"Say hi to Captain Sparkles, Daddy!"

Tony groaned and smiled. "Hey, Sparkles! Wassup, my favorite teddy bear!"

Morgan gave a wheezing laugh and turned the phone back around to her face, grinning so hard that her dimples popped out. She stuck a finger in her mouth and twisted it around shyly.

"Daddy, guess what!"

"What?"

"I've got--I've got--" she stuttered, barely able to control her excitement. "I've got a loose tooth!"

"No way!" Tony yelled, grateful no one else was on the flight he would be disturbing. "Look at you! I leave for one day and you're already all grown up! Let me see, let me see!"

Morgan took her thumb and moved it across one of her front teeth, and Tony wasn't able to tell through a video call, but it would probably be moving a little. Probably.

"That's awesome, Maguna!" he cheered. "Don't lose it till I get back, okay?"

"I won't!"

Tony heard pounding footsteps and Harley ran into the room, out of breath.

"Morgan! Stop stealing the phone!"

Morgan gave a squeal and darted between his legs, running down the hallway again, but Harley grabbed her arm and yanked the phone out of her grip.

"Tony, she's been hogging it!" he shouted over Morgan's wails. "Can I have a turn?"

"Yeah, but where's Peter?" Tony asked. "I haven't gotten to talk to him yet."

"Peter is at the library with his friend," Pepper called from the background as she consoled Morgan. Tony gave a little nod.

"Oh. Cool. Glad he's getting out of the house."

"Tony! Want to see my new potato gun?!"

"Of course!"

Tony didn't know how his kids had made so many new things and grown up so fast, he'd only been gone for a few hours. He wondered what would happen if he went on vacation longer...?

He tried to stay on the video call for as long as he could, but eventually jetlag caught up to him and he bode everyone goodbye.

He slept the rest of the way, and when he arrived at the airport, it was five in the morning back home and six in the evening in India.

It was a beautiful country. Tony had only been here twice before, but he couldn't stop staring at the beautiful architecture and crowded streets, wondering why he still lived in America. He didn't have enough energy for sightseeing, though, so he drove straight to the wedding, which was starting in ten minutes.

Classic Tony Stark entrance.

Dr. Ahuja was a nice man. He had met Tony back in the day, when Tony had taken a robotics class with him when the man lived in New York for a short period of time. He owned a huge technology company that often sold to the States, so Tony was quite familiar with his work.

His daughter was getting married, and the man had decided to invite him. He wasn't surprised--Dr. Ahuja was very fond of Tony, always calling him on the phone and checking up on him. He was glad to have a friend like Dr. Ahuja, although he was sad that they lived in different countries and couldn't see each other very often. Another reason to tell Pepper they needed to move to India.
