"Whatever happens in the next 20 minutes, just go with it." Tony says to the two women walking with him.

The Starks walk into the Hotel De Paris with Pepper following before hearing a familiar voice.

"Mr. Stark?" The voice calls out.

"Hey." Tony replies.

Isabel looks ahead to the redheaded woman she met the other day, "unbelievable." She muttered.

"Hello, how was your flight?" Natalie asks Tony while shaking his hand.

"It was excellent," He starts before grabbing a drink, "boy, it's nice to see you."

"We have one photographer from the ACM if you don't mind." Natalie says before taking the drinks out of both Stark's hands.

She looks at Isabel and quietly says, "you're underage, I believe."

"Being a Stark has its advantages." The teen replies.

"When did this happen?" Pepper asks Tony through a strained smile.

"You made me do it." Tony replies back, mocking the same strained smile.

"I made you do what?" Pepper asks him, already fed up with the man-child.

"You know what- Smile." Tony says before turning Pepper to the camera along with Izzy.

The flashes don't last long before Natalie guides them over to their table.

"You look fantastic." The younger Stark says.

"Why thank you, very much." Replies the new assistant.

"I would say that's unprofessional but you're not my assistant, so it's fine." The Stark jokes.

"What's on the docket?" The older Stark asks from behind them.

"You have a 9:30 dinner." Natalie replies facing the man as they all continue to walk.

"Perfect, I'll be there at 11. Is this us?" Tony asks before walking over to a table that was definitely not theirs.

"Absolutely," Natalie says quietly, "it can be."

"Great. Make it us." Tony says walking around the table.

Natalie heads off not before taking another drink out of the younger Stark's hand.

"Come on." The younger Stark complains at her before following the redhead.

"You're not drinking with me around." Natalie tells her.

"What? Why? Being 19 doesn't mean anything, my whole family started drinking when we were in diapers." Isabel complains more.

"Stop complaining, I said no. End of." The redhead demands.

"I could get you fired." The Stark says lightly.

The assistant stops abruptly before turning to the teenager, "but you won't."

The teen looks at the older woman challenging her to say something else, "what makes you think I won't?" She asks.

"You like staring at me. Sir- Table 101 change to the table the Starks and Miss Potts are sitting at, please." Natalie asks the man in charge.

Before he could disagree or say anything else, he looks behind Natalie to see Izzy staring daggers at him. He looks back at Natalie before smiling and nodding his head, "of course." He says before walking off.

"He only said yes because I was behind you." The Stark speaks up.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" The redhead asks the younger woman.
