"I know they have. I'm honestly shocked they give me even that little bit of their time. Hydra could've exterminated me... Again. I'm lucky I got another chance. I'm not wasting it on being a shite father."

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

"There will be some bumps in the road. But it isn't so much me that you need to convince. Our children heard the 'I'm a changed man' line before."

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@DrunkenGen1us "Thank you Tony..."

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

No denying the facts.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

"Thank you sweetheart..."

[Dr. Melissa Stark-Howlett @1nH1sShad0w]

"For what it's worth, Happy Father's Day to you both @AGNTROGER and @SIFOUNDER."

Meh, she took the high road with this, though they both have royally pissed her off in one way or another.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

"One can only hope that things go better. I'd like to say I'm a changed man now after everything... And you and the kids. Always there for me."

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

"Happy Father's Day to you darling! @SIFOUNDER, I know things are.. skewed and difficult right now. But amid all of that, our children love you. Hopefully things will turn around for you and them in that regard."

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@1nH1sShad0w [He looked her over with a sense of admiration in his eyes. A proud feeling filled him at what he saw. Who he saw.]

"I remember you being. . .Much smaller. Itty bitty... Look at you."

[He could feel tears threatening.]

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@1nH1sShad0w [Howard was certainly confused for a moment. He assumed that the person visiting him was Maria. But.. It wasn't he paused and his jaw slacked slightly at whom it actually was. She looked just like her mother...]

"O-Oh... Mel. Hello. [His eyes widening at the bump.] "Are you?"

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@SIFoundersWife --the baby that I remember is either Tony or Mel."

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@SIFoundersWife [He nodded. Seeing his daughter would be good for him but he didnt want to force anything. It was good to wait for now.]

"I remember a little bit... But it was way before this time. Like we got a second chance? Anyways from what i remember we were happy... I assume --

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@SIFoundersWife [He understands his son's feelings and motives in wanting to keep away from most of the family. It (does) make sense.]

"Completely understandable on his part. As for everyone else I wouldn't blame them for distracting themselves for however long they deem necessary."

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@SIFoundersWife "I-I know but I hope that you know full well I have asked him and even sent him a few texts. Nothing."

[He didnt blame tony. He hoped for another chance but it seemed this is where they stood for now and for who knows how long.]

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@SIFoundersWife [He nodded and he realized that he would need to fight and do his best to get better for everyone's sake.]

"And you..."

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

@SIFoundersWife "Are yoy sure she would w-want me around though Maria? Or anyone would be comfortable with me in thr same room as them?"

He knows and understands. Entirely.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

[He steps out slowly. Eyes on her.

It was hard not to grab her for a hug or anything affectionate.]

"H-How are you? The kids?"

[He was relearning. Slowly but he was.]

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

Watching him closely, as she had from afar for weeks, she goes to the controls station.

Without a word, the input of a usage code and the push of a button, the glass cell opens.

"Come on out.." She says, almost emotionless.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

[He would if he could. Nobody wants to let him out yet.]

"M-Maria..." [He says as soon as he sees her.]

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

Figures, she has to go to him, as he's too chicken to go to her.

But Howard gets his wish, though Maria keeps a safe distance as a precaution.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

Uh ouch

He will simply sit right where he is until she gets there

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

Then fine, he may see her.

Try anything stupid and she will bite him.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

Ugh..

(No.) He won't.

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

That depends.

Is he going to stab her /again/?

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

[Yeah... Well he gets it. Really.

Can he see her?]

[Maria Stark @SIFoundersWife]

He calls it a prison, she considered it a safety cell.

[Howard Stark @SIFOUNDER]

[Hes feeling better. Better enough to step out from the shadow of the 'prison' he was in.]
