Henry's noticed that Tony had been quieter than usual throughout the day, and when he did talk he used one or two-word answers which told Henry that he had something important on his mind. He had a hunch about what it was but he wasn't going bring it up, he wanted to wait until Tony was ready to talk about it, Henry would wait however long that took. The man in question was doing the dishes while Henry helped get Morgan ready for bed, Henry was in the process of braiding Morgan's hair when he heard a shout. "Fuck!" Henry heard Tony yell from downstairs.
Morgan opened her mouth but pouted slightly when Henry gave her a look. "I'm going to go check on Daddy, why don't you finish brushing your teeth," Henry said when he finished braiding Morgan's hair. She nodded and turned around, she placed her hands on her shoulders and kissed him on the lips before jumping down from her bed and running off to the bathroom.
Henry sighed shaking his head with a slight giggle, she had so much of Tony in her it was like Henry was looking in a mirror sometimes. He walked down the stairs and let out a sigh when he watched Tony wiping off the photo on the shelf in the corner by the sink. He watched as Tony placed it back gently and tossed the towel in the sink. "You lose control of the sprayer again?" Henry mildly teased as he stepped away from the staircase and started to walk towards Tony who sighed and nodded.
"I did, I don't know what to do Hen." Henry sighed as he stepped closer to Tony and kissed him on the forehead before pushing him away. "You know what you have to do baby, I'm going to finish getting our daughter ready for bed then I can meet you down here. Maybe I can help you?" Henry waggled his eyebrows suggestively making Tony nod and shake his head fondly.
Henry pressed a kiss to Tony's cheek before he turned back to go upstairs and put their child to bed, Henry was surprised to find that Morgan was already in bed waiting for her Papa to tuck her in. "Hi Honey, you ready to go off to dreamland?" Henry asks booping Morgan on the nose after he sits on the edge of her bed. "Uh huh, I love you, Papa." Morgan smiles slightly puckering her lips for a kiss which he obliged quickly. "I love you too Morgana." He stood up from the bed and walked over to the light switched and turned it off before he cracked the door once he left the room.
Henry made a quick detour to Tony and His room to change into pajamas before he walked downstairs quickly to see Tony already looking at the projected project on their work table that was near the back door. "How's it going?" Henry asks as he shoves his sleeves up of his nightshirt. "I'm running one last simulation, I'm trying to do it in the shape of a Mobius strip this time." Tony crosses his arms as he walks around the table. "Inverted right?"
Instead of answering Tony nods. "Can we get the eigenvalue of that particle factoring in spectral decomp?" Henry asks FRIDAY after he points to the right spot. "Just a moment," FRIDAY responds, Henry watches as Tony takes a sip of water and looks at the model curiously. "Model rendered," FRIDAY said, Henry gasped and looked at Tony in shock when it said that the model was successful.
Tony took a step back accidentally bumping into Henry, he fell into the chair that henry was standing beside and put a hand over his mouth. "Shit! We did it!" Tony cheered chuckling in surprise, Henry opened his mouth to reply when they heard a tiny voice behind them. "Jar!" Morgan says cutting herself off with a giggle, Henry raised his eyebrow and turned around as Tony swivels the chair to look at her.
"What are you doing up, little miss?" Henry raises an eyebrow looking at Morgan who was sitting on the steps. "Why are you up?" Morgan asks ignoring the question as she looked in between her parents. "Cause we got some important shit going on here. Why do you think?" Tony says leaning on the armrest that was facing Morgan. "Tony!" Henry slaps him on the arm but it wasn't hard enough that it would hurt him, Morgan giggled from her spot on the steps. "No, I got something on my mind and Papa was helping me." Henry shakes his head as he steps away from Tony's chair and walks around the table looking at the simulation.
"Was it juice pops?" Morgan says making Henry roll his eyes, he knew exactly what was going to happen next. "Sure was. That's extortion, what kind do you want?" Tony asks as he stands up and takes Morgan's hand. Henry watches with a chuckle as Tony leads her towards the fridge to get the two of them some juice pops, once they picked out what they wanted Henry waves his fingers when they go upstairs, Morgan giggles around her juice pop as she carefully makes her way upstairs.
Henry lets out a slight sigh as he steps away from the workbench and walks towards the living room, he plops against the couch with a huff, he knows what Tony is going to talk about once he comes down from the stairs but Henry doesn't know exactly what his answer is going to be.
He runs a hand through his hair as he sits there in silence waiting for Tony to get back from putting Morgan to bed. "Not that it's a competition but Morgan loves me 3,000," Tony says amused as he walks into the living room before sitting down next to Henry. "Does she, now?" Henry raised an eyebrow amused.
"You were somewhere in the low 6 to 900 range." Tony jokes as he gnaws on the popsicle stick, Henry chuckles shaking his head fondly at Tony. Henry watches as Tony turns his head and looks at the simulation. "We got really lucky Tony, a lot of people didn't." Henry breaks the silence by looking at his hands before he looks back up at Tony. "I know, I can't help everybody." Tony smacks his lips together before tossing the popsicle stick onto the coffee table, Henry resists the urge to roll his eyes because he knows it's not the time.
"It sorta seems like you can." Henry gives him a sad smile as he grabs Tony's hand. "Not if I stop, I can put a pin in it right now and erase what we figured out." Henry coughs trying to blink so Tony doesn't see the tears beading in his eyes but Tony can read him like a book so it's no use. "Something tells me I should put it in a lockbox and drop it at the bottom of the lake and go to bed." Henry knows that the something Tony is talking about is him and Morgan.
"But would you be able to rest? You have to do this Tony, we made time travel possible. You have to help them." Henry says as he scoots closer to Tony and puts his hand on his cheek, Tony closes his eyes when Henry's thumb gets closer. Henry hopes that he didn't make a mistake by telling Tony that he should do it but Henry can't be the reason that Tony doesn't try.
