I have my own problems with my father. So the matter is something of a personal interest.

Incidentally, my remark about mending your ways before your death... That was not a threat, but a warning. In my universe, the parents of Tony Stark died when he was young and unproven. Even if your son has your clear respect, if your fate is similar to the other Howard Stark's... it may be in both of your interests to see that he is prepared, should the worst befall you.
