Wednesday morning in DC. Morgan is climbing the marble steps of the Senate chamber in the icy wind. As she opens the settings on her phone, her mother's reply echoes in her mind.
"Morgan, you never th-saw the kind of target your father had on hith back ath Iron Man. Both of uths nearly died at leatht onthce a year. Be careful..."
Morgan opens the devices control on her phone. Her implant is listed as "QAI (Headway)", with a corresponding switch in the 'on' position. Without hesitation, she switches it to 'off', and hears a burst of static as the QAI powers down.
Her representation, Stark Industries' best lawyer, is by her side. "Ready for the Senate hearing?" he asks.
Morgan raises her head. The marble building looms up ahead. "As I'll ever be," she mutters, and takes a deep breath.
When everyone is in place, the hearing goes into session.
Everyone's eyes are on Morgan. As a CEO, she's an unknown. Will she act more like her mom or her dad?
Her testimony is much more formal than her dad's was, thirty-three years ago, but she has most of his assertiveness. In the beginning, she speaks quietly, sitting erect, but her anxiety soon gives way to passion.
They soon realize that she's nothing like either of her parents.
