Maguna

"Daddy!!!!" Morgan screamed running towards him throwing her arms around his shoulders.

"Maguna." He whispered breathlessly clutching his daughter tight to his chest. He hadn't been able to hold Morgan in what felt like years. He missed her so much more than he ever could have imagined. Finally, the pair separated at Tony looked at the people who surrounded them. Pepper had an unreadable expression on her face but she stood close enough that she could grab Morgan if necessary. Natasha stood in tow her face stone cold as if saying 'don't fuck this up Stark.' Steve and Rhodey stood near her both of their faces mixed with concern and happiness.

"Where did you go, Daddy? I missed you so much. I still love you. But I'm mad you locked me and mommy out!. Did I do something wrong? I'm sorry if I was a bad daughter." Tony felt his heart shatter into a million pieces. He was the person he promised himself he'd never be. He was just like his Father.

"No no no of course not Maguna." he whispered pressing a kiss to her temple

"I'm gonna go hang out with Lila she's gonna show me how to shoot a bow and arrow how cool is that! I'll see you later Daddy. Bye!" Morgan rambled before rushing off to follow Clint's kids. As soon as she'd appeared she'd disappeared once more. No one said anything for a long time eventually Thor stood up

"It's been fun my friends but I think I'm going to have to retire for the evening I need to go make sure Jane is doing alright." Everyone nodded

"Of course Thor thanks for coming," Rhodey said as Steve nodded in agreement giving his friend a quick hug. Minutes later Clint and Laura stood up

"Kids time to go!!!!" Clint bellowed as the three instantly ran towards their parents.

"Bye Morgan it was so fun hanging out with you," Lila said giving the younger girl a hug. "Can Auntie Nat please come home with us Daddyyyyyyy?" Nathaniel pleaded clutching onto Natasha's leg.

"Sorry, Nath but I can't tonight but I promise I'll stop by tomorrow." Nathaniel's face lit up

"Can you bring candy?" He whispered loudly making everyone chuckle. Once the Barton family left Morgan collapsed into her Mothers arms.

"Mommy I'm tired." She groaned burying her face in Pepper's chest.

"We're going home now Momo I promise." She lifted her daughter up standing up with her. "Thank you so much Rhodey. It was really great seeing all of you hopefully I'll see you all soon."

Natasha was quick to follow her "I'll help put Morgan to bed you look exhausted." She knew Natasha just didn't want to be alone right now. Not when her heart ached so painfully. Steve rushed to her side quick

"I'll come too if you don't mind." Pepper nodded but quickly stopped at Morgan's words. "Can Daddy come?" All three of them froze.

"I really don-"

"Please Mommy please please please please please." Pepper's eyes met Rhodeys and she could read them so quickly. He pleaded with her. He pleaded with her to give Tony a chance.

"Alright." She said slowly making Tony's eyes widen. This was going to be a long night.
