"How drunk do you think he is?" She asks as they watch the tv screen.

"Definitely super drunk." Her brother replies.

The now 10-year-old twins sit on the couch of their Malibu home, patiently watching the live footage of the Stark Expo and waiting for their dad to make his grand entrance.

The camera turned to the sky where fireworks began to go off. That was the signal that meant Tony was about to arrive.

Music began to play, of course it was Shoot To Thrill by ACDC.

The people in the crowd were cheering loud enough to make Lucas turn the volume down.

Soon enough the camera picked up a small dot in the sky and began to follow it as it made its way to the ground.

Tony's famous Iron Man suit comes into view in a few seconds, landing on the platform in a dramatic pose. He rises up and a machine begins to take off his suit, revealing their father in a black stripped suit.

Ladies dance behind him and once the suit is fully off the music stops, the dancers exit the stage, and the crowd begins to chant Tony's name.

The twins had wanted to join their parents at Stark Expo but were, as expected, shut down immediately.

So instead they got to stay home alone while Tony and Pepper got to go have fun at the Expo.

Of course it was only opening night, the twins already had plans to sneak out next week and go explore the convention.

"It's good to be back." Tony says on the screen. He points to the crowd, asking "You missed me?"

The twins laugh when they hear a random guy from the crowd yell "Blow something up." To which Tony replies "Blow something up? I already did that."

Tony pauses and the crowd grows quiet in anticipation of the billionaires next words.

"I'm not saying that the world is enjoying its longest period of uninterrupted peace in years because of me."

There's some cheers from the crowd.

"I'm not saying that from the ashes of captivity, never has a greater phoenix metaphor been personified in human history." Lydia can't help but let out a quiet giggle at her fathers dramatics. "I'm not saying that Uncle Sam can kick back on a lawn chair, sipping iced tea because I haven't come across anyone who's man enough to go toe-to-toe with me on my best day."

The crowd then went wild, cheering, clapping, and whooping from behind the camera but the twins frowned, both thinking the same thing.

That sounded like a challenge.

Someone from the crowd yells "I love you Tony!" Which then cause Tony to speak up again and the crowd to quiet down.

"Please, it's not about me." He insists. "It's not about you. It's not even about us. It's about legacy. It's about what we choose to leave behind for future generations, for our children, and our children's children. And that's why for the next year and for the first time since 1974, the best and brightest men and women of nations and corporations the world over will pool their resources, share their collective vision to leave behind a brighter future. It's not about us."

The crowd starts to grow loud again as Tony continues to speak. "Therefore what I am saying, if i'm saying anything, is welcome back to the Stark Expo."

The crowd stands up, roaring with cheers and yells of encouragement.

"And now, making a special guest appearance from the great beyond, to tell you what it's all about, please welcome my father, Howard."
