"Morgan, baby, what are you doing here? It's already late," asked Pepper.

Morgan sat on the porch, hugging her iron man doll. Her cheeks flushed red from the cold night air. Her eyes watched the drive way as if she blinked, she would miss it.

"Mommy, when's Daddy will go home?" said Morgan without looking at Pepper.

Pepper gasped in pain. She felt the prick of tears in the corner of her eyes. She took a deep breath and sat down beside Morgan. She pulled her daughter into her arms.

"I'm so sorry, baby, but Daddy is not going back. He is–"

"But, Captain America went back, right? And, he's Daddy's friend. So, he must have saved, right? He wouldn't let die, right, Mommy?" Morgan raised her head, looking at Pepper with hope for her to not say otherwise.

Tears fell down from Pepper's eyes. She bit her lips. "I'm so sorry, baby. But, To, Daddy won't, won't come back."

"Why? Didn't Captain America save him, too?"

"I, I don't know."

"Why didn't he save my Daddy? Why he save everyone, but not my Daddy? Why he can have his happy ending, but not Daddy? Why Mommy?"

Morgan wailed as she finally understood her daddy, Tony, wouldn't be here with her. He wouldn't be there to teach her how to ride a bicycle. He wouldn't be there to accompany her to school. He wouldn't be there to teach her how to build her first circuit. He wouldn't be there to read a bed time story. He wouldn't be there to be with her. She would never see her daddy. Her small shook with uncontrollable grief and pain. She wailed to the silent sky asking for her daddy's return.

Pepper hug Morgan tightly. Her fell down from her eyes. She covered her lips to stop her from sobbing. She tried to stop the shaking of her shoulders. She tried to be strong her daughter. Alas, she failed. She couldn't stop the pain from overtaking her.

"I'm, I'm sorry, baby, I, I don't know. I don't know."
