The soft piano is playing. Tony Stark's mother, Maria sits at a piano, A young Tony is on the couch
Tony looked at the screen with tears as samaira just rubbed his arm in comfort while he cuddled to her
Maria Stark: Try to remember the kid of September. When the grass was green....
She stops singing as Howard Stark walks in, but continues to play
Maria Stark: Wake up dear and say goodbye to your father
Howard Stark: Who's the homeless person on the couch?
Tony, wearing a Santa hat, staggers to his feet and chuckles.
Young Tony Stark: This is why I love coming home for Christmas... right before you leave town
Maria Stark: Be nice, dear he's been studying aboard
Howard Stark: Really, which board? what's her name?
Young Tony Stark: Candice
Howard pulls off Tony's hat.
Howard Stark: Do me a favor. Try not to burn the house down before Monday
Tony pouts saying " That happened once"

Maria Stark: He does miss you when you are not here. And frankly, you're going to miss us. Because this is the last time we're all going to be together. You know what's about to happen. Say something if you don't, you'll regret it
Howard walks back in.
Young Tony Stark: I love you, Dad. And I know you did the best you could
Maria leans in to kiss Tony on the cheek and when she leans back, an Older Tony Stark is standing in the background. Howard and Maria walk out, leaving the two Tonys
