Epilogue
ABOUT A YEAR LATER
“Come on. You have to be there!”
Kara laughed as she held the front of Tony’s car in the air effortlessly. “I don’t have to do anything.”
Sliding out from under the car, Tony sat up. “But we’re finally lighting up the building! We’re ahead of the clean energy market right now!”
Setting the car down, she brushed her hands off and sighed. “Tony…that’s great. You know how happy I am to have a part in that.”
He quirked an eyebrow. “But?”
“But…that is going to take, what, a day? What will you be doing the rest of the week?” She smirked at him. “I’m guessing it rhymes with stepper?”
“Okay, you don’t have to make fun of me. Just because you’re not getting any…”
Kara’s jaw dropped. “Don’t even go there, or I will come and cockblock you at every turn.”
Holding his hands in surrender, he backed away. “Yes, ma’am.” Then he paused. “I mean, it is New York City…you could probably pop over to Broadway and take in some shows…”
“That’s a low blow.” Kara narrowed her eyes. “Bribing me with Broadway.”
“I am just saying.”
As her phone buzzed, she sighed. “Tony…go and have fun with Pepper. Send me the footage of the building lighting up.”
“Yes, Mom.” He teased. “But, you know your room is open if…”
He trailed off when he turned and saw her staring at her phone, eyes wide, and a hand on her mouth. “Kara?”
She blinked up at him and let out a breath. “That was my push notice for important news events related to our company and our name.”
“And?”
“Tony…they found him.”
He was lost. “Who found who?”
“They found Steve Rogers in the artic, still in his plane.” She told him gently.
Tony paused and nodded. “Well, at least he’ll be at peace now.”
“Tony.” She shook her head. “He’s alive.”
