Henry knows it was his idea to take Tony jogging with him but he was beginning to regret the idea. Mainly because Tony would not stop talking about random things that made no sense to Henry. "Slow down, slow down. I'll spell it out for you." Tony said walking faster to catch up with Henry who had sped up to try to get away from hearing Tony's nonsense. "You're rambling," Henry says to Tony looking at him with a fond smile.

Tony scoffed and shook his head quickly. "No, I'm not." Henry rolled his eyes and folded his hands together. "You lost me, Tones." Henry brings his bottle of water up to his lips and takes a sip. Tony sighs loudly and looks at Henry. "Look, you know how you're having a dream, and in the dream you gotta pee." Henry mentally facepalms but nods at Tony so he keeps talking. "And then you're like "Oh, my god. There are no bathrooms. What am I gonna do?" Henry nods quickly. "Oh, someone's watching." "Oh, I'm gonna go in my pants."

Henry hums. "And then you wake and in real life, you actually have to pee." Tony snaps his fingers and nods quickly at Henry. "Yes." Henry shrugs as he taps his pocket to make sure his phone was still there. "Everybody has that." Tony nods in agreement. "Right, that's the point I'm trying to make. Apropos of that, last night I dreamt we had a kid. It was so real. We named him after your Mom." Henry's eyes widen before he smiles at Tony and grabs his hand gently. "So you woke up." Tony nods. "And thought that we got a call from our caseworker." Their caseworker was an ex-co-worker of Maria's since she no longer was a caseworker. "I had a dream about it, it was so real."

Henry reaches forward and unties the sports jacket around Tony's neck and tapped the reactor in his chest. "If you wanted to have a kid, you wouldn't have done that." Tony shrugs before grabbing Henry's hand and bringing it to his mouth kissing it. "I'm glad you brought this up, cause it's nothing. It's just a housing unit for nanoparticles." Henry nods, he knew exactly what it was because he was there when Tony had the operation to put it in his chest. "You're not helping your case, okay?"

"No, this is detachable. It's not-" Henry cut Tony off from speaking. "You don't need that." They've had this conversation many times before that Henry was beginning to sound like a broken record. "I know, I had the surgery. You were there. I'm just trying to protect us and future usses and that's it. Just in case there's a monster in the closet. Instead of you know.." Henry scoffs lightly before leaning forward and kissing Tony lightly on the lips. "Shirts." Tony smiles when Henry steps back from the kiss. "You know me so well."

"You finish all my sentences." Henry sighs at Tony looking at him sternly. "You should have shirts in your closet." Henry teases lightly as Tony nods in agreement. "You know what there should be? No more surprises. We're gonna have a nice dinner tonight. Show off this Harry Winston." Henry looks down and laughs. "Right? And we should have no more surprises. Ever. I should promise you." Henry puts his arms around Tony's shoulders. "Yes." Tony leans in and kisses Henry on the lips.

"Tony Stark." The two men jump apart when they hear a new voice, Henry lets out a sharp intake of breath when he sees someone wearing a cape walk out of an orange-looking portal. "I'm Doctor Stephen Strange. I need you to come with me. Oh, congratulations on the wedding, by the way." Henry squeezes Tony's hand who pushes Henry behind him slightly. "I'm sorry, you giving out tickets to something?"
