As Dad and Happy continue to spar in the ring, I flip through this morning's tabloids that were filtered through by Jarvis so that I could read each one that mentions either my dad or me. Some of these stories are so ridiculous that I find myself actually giggling about some of them. Then they have so many random photos of the two of us in random places when we didn't realize there were cameras. The funniest one is Dad holding his dress shoe in one hand while scratching the bottom of his socked foot with his other. He looks like he's struggling to not fall over and his teeth are visibly clenched as he struggles to satisfy the itch.

"The tabloids, it might-as-well be the funnies though. It's about us, Dad," I respond, not looking up at them, "Apparently, you and I once robbed a gas station. We stole a bundle of hundos and some slurpees. They're calling you 'unfit' to be my parent because of it," I giggle, "They say you're mentally disorientated and have kleptomania. They say stealing is how you got the designs for the Iron Man suit."
"That's not funny," Dad responds over his shoulder, landing a punch on Happy's padded jaw.
"It kind of is though," Happy says, glancing at me, "He's traded the ski-mask for the Iron Man mask."
