theatrical-muse: Why do you persist?
For Dylan.
For Pepper.
For Happy.
For Rhodey.
For Maria Stark's memory.
For Howard Stark's name.
For the man that Jarvis and his mother hoped he turned out to be.
For Yinsen.
For Coulson.
For that screwed up group of people that now makes up his team.
For those people he helped kill with his weapons - because, years later, he still feels their blood on his hands. He still sees it, no matter how hard he tries to scrub it off.
For the people that believe in him, although half the time he doesn't understand why they do it.
Because he's a father, and while he knows he's not the best one, he wants to make the world a better place for his son.
For his son's future family.
For his son.
Because it'll always begin with family (Stark men are made of steel, Anthony), and it ends with family.
