New York, 2012. It changed everyone somehow.

December 22nd 2012 Stark Industries, California
"Tony has got them in his basement, they're wearing party hats. This is an asset that we can put to use.", Happy tells Pepper and me, as the three of us walk along.
After New York, Dad decided that since I was staying with him and taking a break from S.H.I.E.L.D (much to his relief) I needed to get a job. Not just any job though, lucky old me got to work at Stark Industries! So, after getting no sleep for three days and just finding out about a terrorist, I get to come and negotiate deals and stuff with my almost mom all day!
Fun.
"Uh-huh. So, you're suggesting that I replace the entire janitorial staff with robots?", Pepper asks, sceptically and slightly bewildered.
"Believe me, Dum-E makes more mess than he cleans.", I mumble.
"What I'm saying is that the human element of Human Resources is our biggest point of vulnerability. We should start phasing it out immediately.", he declares.
"What?", Pepper raises her eyebrows.
"That... That doesn't make sense.", I say.
"Excuse me, Bambi. Security.", Happy says to Pepper's receptionist, pointing to his badge as we walk past her.
"Did you just say that?", Pepper asks, "Happy?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I am thrilled that you're now the Head of Security, okay?", she places a hand on his shoulder, "It is the perfect position for you."
