Tony
The door bell rang, Morgan ran to the door, like she always did, and Steven Strange left as fast as he could.

"Was nice meeting you", Strange told Morgan, but did not waste a single word for Tony, he just waved him goodbye, opened a portal and then left, his cape floating after him dramatically.

"Thank god, he's gone", Tony whispered, while Morgan waved Dr Strange goodbye, imitating the gesture he did when he opened a portal.

"Mummy, if I grow up, I want to be a ....", Morgan began and Tony mouthed to Pepper: "If she says witch, I swear to god... Letting Strange be in her presence was a bad choice"

"Actually, I want to be a teacher. Or a singer. Or a dinosaur. Yes, dinosaur sounds good. Mummy, I want to be a dinosaur."

"But honey, dinosaurs..."

"I know there are no dinosaurs, mummy, but guess why? Because people don't want to be dinosaurs anymore. They just wanna be mean monsters.", Morgan said and stared into the air for a few seconds, before she carried on smiling and jumping around, because she wanted to look out of the window and was too small to see anything.

"Sweetie, you know there is an easy way to solve this problem", Pepper told her, smiling proudly down on her.

Morgan nodded.

"I wanna be a smart and nice dinosaur.", she said and then looked up to Tony, waiting for him to do something. She had the ultimate puppy eyes.

"What am I supposed to do?", Tony whispered to Pepper.

"Oh come on, Tony! Pick her up!"

"But you're taller than me"

"And I thought your height did not matter to you", she whispered back, smiling.


Tony picked Morgan up and lifted her into the air, as she was shouting: "Dad, there's Peter and Harley! And they've got presents!"

Tony immediately opened the door and Morgan jumped onto the floor to welcome the boys.

After cuddling with Harley for about five minutes, until he felt super uncomfortable. Then she got to jump into Peter's arms.

"I thought I'd get you something, for the old time's sake and because... You really need it, everyone needs it"

He handed him a clock. It was similar to his sister's clock, the one he had given to Tony a few years ago. Tony smiled at him,before he hugged him tightly.

"Thank you so so much, son", Tony told him and for a moment, Harley was paralised. He smiled at him, before he said: "Don't thank me, thank yourself, happy father's day"

Peter seemed pretty excited to give him his present, but Morgan did not want to get off of him, until Harley tilted his head and said softly: "Do you want to learn how to build a potato gun?"

Morgan nodded and imediately ran to listen to him and together with Pepper they went to the car.

"We'll wait for you, just finish your talk!", Pepper shouted before she left the house.

Peter was looking down on his shoes, he looked so lost in the huge Stark residence, he looked so normal, even though he was the complete opposite of anything that was considered normal.

"Mr Stark..."

"Just call me Tony, kid"

"So, Tony... I didn't really know what to give you for father's day and.... Maybe it does not matter what I give to you. I just wanna say, I never really had a dad, sure, I have a great aunt and I had an uncle, but... It's not the same and like... I mean all of this is ridiculous. You're a billionare, you've got an awesome kid and an amazing wife and like... I'm some lost boy, I've got no idea why you care for me the way you do and... I just want to say, you've been like a father for me, like the father I never had, Mr Stark.... Tony. I've got no idea where I'd be without you now. Probably living some stupid normal life. So, thanks so much, Tony", Peter said.
