“ yeah. yeah. yeah ? they ‘ re , like , really somethin ‘ , right ? god , i mean i -- i ‘ m incredibly fortunate. -- and they ‘ re not human. they ‘ re better than that. they ‘ re all completely and totally themselves. i didn ‘ t set out with this conclusion in mind , but it ended up a happy accident. for me , anyway -- if you asked me. “ 

she ‘ s practically red in the face and out of breath but that ‘ s a smile , alright , wide across a mouth that normally is not nearly this off - the - cuff - talkative. stark ‘ s sparkle - eyed going on about his kiddos , and no matter how any of them feel about him , he ‘ ll never stop loving them. not a one. not even for a second. ( for someone without a heart , he has an awful lot of heart. he puts an awful lot of into everything he does. unconditional. unconditionally. ) 

“ i ‘ d die for any of them. wouldn ‘ t flinch. quote me on that. “ 

speaking of robotic parts , stark raises a shiny metal prosthetic and rotates one arm , then the other , in a gesture that seems caught between restless and habitual. it ‘ s calming, self - soothing gestures. a human sort of fidget for a body that ‘ s barely almost human at all anymore. and alana ‘ s fine with that. 

“ world ‘ s brand new , steve. lemme give you a tour of mine. -- keep up , star spangled cool ranch. “

“Those kids of yours are somethin’ else, Stark.” Not an entirely inaccurate observation, yet Steve felt he lacked the words to summarise Stark’s creations. Though she had shown great prowess with shaping metal to her whims, with copper striking and fibre wiring, never had it occurred to him that such life could be created with but a thought and, it seemed, half a wish. Whether it had been for a family or an army Stark had pinned both her hearts on, Steve could not say, but by all accounts it seemed she had succeeded. 

Brief consternation came across piercing blue eyes, brows lofted as readily as a shield. “Not that that’s a bad thing. Never thought I’d see a lot of things, but suits made human is a new one.”
