Of course I'm proud of Mindy. Intensely proud of her. But I admit I prefer the comic book ending. [It's how he wants to go out.]

[Her entire face lights up at the sight of him, even more so at the sound of those words]

Daddy?

[The last time he saw her he was dying. Telling her to get away, get free.

His heart twists.]

Hey there honey bear.

[He swallows] ...How about a hug for your old man?

[purpleblacksassy]

[She doesn't need to be told twice. She throws herself at him, wrapping her arms around him]

[goodcallbabydoll]

[His hug is tight. Very tight but then he relaxes before pressing her to him and letting her go.] God look at you.

You look just like your mom.

[He could just cry.] I am so - proud of you. Taking care of yourself? Fighting the good fight?

[She can't stop smiling and bouncing in place. Her daddy, her idol, is back despite the odds]

Always! Well, almost always. I got talked out of it for a while, but I couldn't stay away. Being a normal kid is fuckin' boring. Kick Ass and I, we help run a vigilante group. He's come a really long way. Still a fuckin' idiot, though.

[Despite her words, her tone is fond. She cared a lot about her friend and partner]
