Y/N sits in the gym watching Tony and Happy as Pepper walks in. "The notary's here! Can you please come sign the transfer paperwork?" she announces. "I'm on happy time." Tony replies as he and Happy box. "Sorry." Tony apologized after using his arm to hit happy in the nose.

"What the hell was that?" Happy states.

"It's called mixed martial arts. It's been around for three weeks." Tony replies. "It's called dirty boxing. There's nothing new about it." Happy says. As Y/N watches the two in the ring, her attention gets diverted in the direction Tony and Happy were looking. She looks towards the entrance and sees none other than Natasha.

Natasha makes eye contact with Tony and Happy and eventually Y/N and Natasha sends a subtle wink her way. "I promise you this is the only time I will ask you to sign over your company." Pepper says to Tony. Y/N watches as Natasha holds out something for Pepper to sign. Eventually Tony stops and looks in Natasha's direction. "What's your name, lady?"

"Rushman. Natalie Rushman." Natasha, well Natalie responds. "Front and center. Come into the church." Tony says. "No. You're seriously not gonna ask..." Pepper starts to say.

"If it pleases the court, which it does."

"It's no problem." Natalie says. "I'm sorry. He's very eccentric." Pepper tells her. As Natalie walks over to the ring, Y/N makes her way to Pepper. "Can you give her a lesson?" Tony tells Happy after he and Natalie look at each other.

"No problem." Happy states.

Tony walks over to Y/N and Pepper. "Pepper. Y/N." Tony says whispering. "What?" Pepper replies and he sits down beside her. "Who is she?" Tony asks.

"She is from legal. And she is potentially a very expensive sexual harassment lawsuit if you keep ogling her like that." Pepper states. "I need another assistant, boss." Tony tells her and Y/N glances at Tony. "Yes, and I've got three excellent potential candidates. They're lined up and ready to meet you." Pepper explains.

"I don't have time to meet. I need someone now. I feel like it's her." Tony says. "No, it's not." Pepper says. "Y/N, what do you think?" Tony asks as he and Pepper look at her. "It's up to the boss." Y/N says looking between the two. Pepper turns back around and Tony continues looking at Y/N and she mouths 'sorry'.

"You ever boxed before?" Y/N hears Happy ask Natalie. "I have, yes." she responds. "What, like the Tae Bo? Booty Boot Camp? Crunch? Something like that?" Happy asks. "How do I spell your name, Natalie?" Tony asks.

"R-U-S-H-M-A-N."

"Are you googling her?" Y/N asks.

"Hmm? I thought I was ogling her. Oh, wow. Very, very impressive individual." Tony says as he looks at her on her profile. "You're so predictable you know that?" Pepper tells him.

"She's fluent in French, Italian, Russian, Latin. Who speaks Latin?" Tony says. "No one speaks Latin. It's a dead language." Pepper tells him.

"No one speaks Latin."

"She's right, you can read Latin or you can write Latin, but you really can't speak Latin." Y/N adds. "Did you two model in Tokyo? Cause she modeled in Tokyo." Tony says. "Well..."

"I need her. She's got everything that I need." Tony tells Y/N and Pepper. "Rule number one, never take your eye off your opponent." Happy says as he almost throws a punch but Natalie who looking in the other direction, she grabs his hand, she flips Happy over by using her legs around his neck taking him down.

"Oh, my God!" Pepper reacts. "Whoa!" Tony says, and Y/N didn't really have a reaction because she already knew what Natasha could do. "Happy!" Pepper exclaims as Tony walked over to the ring. "That's what I'm talking about." Tony spoke. "I just slipped." Happy states.

"You did?"

"Yeah."

"Looks like a TKO to me." Tony says and Natalie climbs out of the ring. "Just... I need your impression." she says to Tony. "You have a quiet reserve. I don't know, you've got a old soul." Tony spoke. "I meant your fingerprint." Natalie says grabbing her notary book.

"Right."

Pepper and Y/N walk over to Tony and Natalie. "So, how are we doing?" Pepper asks. "Great. Just wrapping up. Hey. You're the boss." Tony tells her. "Will that be all, Mr. Stark?" Natalie asked. "No." Tony states.

"Yes, that will be all, Ms. Rushman. Thank you very much." Pepper says and Natalie leaves. "I want one." Tony says. "No." Pepper tells him.

....

After Natasha leaves the gym Y/N soon leaves and catches up with her. "Natalie, wait!" Y/N says. "Yes, Miss. L/N?" Natasha says with a smile. "When it's just the two of us you don't have to use your alias." Y/N says. "I know." Natasha says. "I do have a couple questions though." Y/N says. "I figured you would, and if you're asking why am I here..." Natasha says and Y/N nods.

"I'm here because of Mr. Stark." Natasha says.

"Why? What's wrong with Tony?"

"Tony? Wow, you two have gotten pretty close haven't you?" Natasha says with a smirk. "No it's not like that. But anyway, how've you been?" Y/N asks as she and Natasha walk.
