The living force
June 25,2000:
It was a nice summer day,California was always pretty nice during this time even with the heat. Normally Tony Stark would be out getting ready for some party or galla...but not today,today his child was being born. He thought back to when he first met his child’s mother,Her name is Janai. He met her while he was attending a partner company’s anniversary party,She was just standing there in one of the most beautiful black dresses that had ever seen,looking both elegant and intimidating,like she could end him with just one stare. Tony was brought back to the present when a doctor approached him.
“Everything went well and she has given birth to a baby boy,they’re both resting right now but you can go on in if you want.”
Tony lingered outside the door of the hospital room,For the first time in a long time,he was afraid. What if I’m not a good father? Why am I even here I’ve only gone on a couple dates with her she wouldn’t want me in their life.Eventually,he gathered his courage and entered the room. Laying on the bed was Janai,her hair let down and she looked exhausted...but at peace,in her arms was their little baby boy. Janai looked to him and gave him a bright smile,she was happy,slowly he made his way to her and sat in a chair beside the bed.
Janai was the first to speak. “Here,hold out your arms.”
Tony did as he was told and Janai put the baby into his hands.
“Be careful,hold him like this.”
Tony let out a little laugh. “Sorry,I’m new to all of this.”
“It’s okay I am too,but we’ll figure it out.”
Tony held the baby close to himself. “Have you figured out a name yet?”
“I have...Daniel,Daniel Stark.”
Tony looked at Janai with surprise and confusion. “Are you sure? I mean…”
“Tony” Tony stopped talking at that. “I’m not sure what you were thinking about what happens after all this,but I would like you to be a part of your son’s life. I’m not saying we should get together,in fact it’s probably better if we stay like how we are,but I would like you to come around every so often and just be his father.”
Tony let out a breathe he didn’t realize he was holding. “I can do that,I want to be there for him and be the best dad I could ever be for him.”
“I know you will.”
The three of them stayed like that for a very long time,just enjoying being around each other.

The living room floor was cluttered with small clumps of toys here and there. The light from the large windows made the room warm and inviting. Waddling his way into the room was Daniel,looking for some toy he wanted to play with. Finally finding the toy he was looking for he took a spot on the floor and started playing with it.
“Daniel,where are you?” Janai called out.
Daniel focusing on the toy’s reached out to his toys. For a while nothing happened,and then they started to wiggle,then finally they started to levitate off the ground. Janai had walked into the living room and was shocked at what she had seen. While the toddler was focusing on floating his toys,he hadn’t noticed that he had lifted the lamps and decor behind him. Janai realized that her son’s life was never going to be normal.
“By the force…”
