The Story of Benjamin Rogers

Part 3

It was now the morning and Tony and Happy were sparring at the gym while Benjamin was weight lifting from beside the ring, even though he didn't need to. Pepper then walked in.

Pepper: "The notary's here! Can you please come and sign the transfer paperwork?"

Tony: "I'm on happy time."

Benjamin: "Literally. Your whooping Happy's ass right now."

Tony then threw an illegal punch making Benjamin wince and laugh.

Happy: "What the hell was that?"

Tony: "It's called mixed martial arts. It's been around for three weeks."

Happy: "It's called dirty boxing. There's nothing new about it."

Tony: "Alright, put them up, come on."

A beautiful red head then walked into the room and instantly made eye contact with Benjamin. This was clearly the agent Fury was talking about. He gave her a subtle nod to which she responded in the same way. He then reluctantly tore his eyes away and continued lifting the unnecessarily heavy weight. The agent however couldn't keep her eyes off him. The physical attraction almost lulling her away from the purpose of her being there. Her stare was interrupted by Pepper speaking to Tony.

Pepper: "I promise you this is the only time I will ask you to sign over your company."

Benjamin: "Congrats on that, BTW. I learned that meant 'by the way' yesterday so I'll shall now be saying it for the rest of my life. Sorry not sorry."

Pepper smiled and shook her head.

Pepper: "Thank you, Benjamin. And
'BTW' your not impressing anyone with you weight lifting skills."

The agent smiled softly while Benjamin scoffed and carried on. Pepper then turned to the 'notary'.

Natasha: "I need you to initial each box."

Benjamin was pleasantly surprised by the raspiness of her voice. Despite that, she sounded like an angel. Happy then punched Tony in the back of his head lightly making his face him.

Happy: "Lesson one. Never take you eye off..."

Tony then kicked him into the corner. Benjamin laughed.

Benjamin: "Good kick, T."

Tony: "You know it, Ben."

He then turned to the new face of the room.

Tony: "What's your name, Lady?"

Natasha: "Rushman, Natalie Rushman."

Benjamin knew it would be an alias, but still, the name Natalie or something similar seems to be well suited for her.

Tony: "Front and Center. Come into the church."

Pepper: "No. You're seriously not gonna ask..."

Tony: "If it pleased the court, which it does."

Pepper sent a glare Tony's way.

Tony: "Fine, Ben, you agree right?"

Benjamin: "Let's see if Miss. Rushman can throw a punch."

He sent a small smirk her way knowing if she could if she was a trained agent. Pepper glared at him this time.

Tony: "We are a democracy. And in the favour of democracy, please enter the ring."

The red head then turned to Pepper.

Natasha: "It's no problem."

She then swapped places with Tony. Benjamin put the weight down to watch the event.
