Normal POV

Zendaya excused herself, dragging Tom with her. "This is Y/N, my partner. Robert, I'm warning you." Scarlett introduced me to my idol. "Nice to finally meet you, Sir." I offer my hand as I straighten my posture. Noticing their smirks. "Drop the formality, please. I'm a hugger too, so get used to it." I'm hugging Robert Downey Jr, "Don't faint on me, Y/N/N." I hear Scarlett, she definitely planned this. "This is my wife, Susan." He introduced his wife. "Mrs. Downey." "Please, just Susan" I just nod as we greet. "So what's your plan?" His question caught me off guard. "Excuse me?" I questioned. "Robert, don't." Scarlett warns him. "What? I just wanna know. I've known Scarlett for almost 16 years. I just need to know if you're planning on something. So what is it? Cheating, out of interest, or money?" 

I can't believe what's happening. "Robert." I hear Susan and Scarlett yell. "First of all, Mr.Downey, I do not have any intentions of hurting or misusing Scarlett. I'm not that type of person. Second of all, don't start this. You don't know my capability. This isn't the place nor time to argue." Clenching my jaw while unveiling my professionalism. "That's what I was looking for. Congrats, you passed." He says hitting my shoulder with confirmation. Oh, thank god. I thought I was gonna throw some hands to one of Scarlett's besties. "You know, a heads up. Don't do that to soldiers or any service peeps. I thought I was gonna throw some." I start rambling as I begin to relax. "Ohh, just needed to put you under the test, that's all." He lifted his hand in defeat. "It's all good, man. Just letting you know." I hit his shoulder as a friendly gesture. "You both didn't disappoint. Thought I had to get Robbie or Chris, here, to separate this." Susan says, sighing in relief. I look over at my love, seeing her jaw drop as well as Chris's. "Wow, I didn't expect you too to be surprised about this. I've done this for your past relationships, Scar. Y/N, here handled the situation as expected. Professional. This time, I didn't go through the death threats." Robert explains as he hugs her, trying to comfort her. "You actually match up to his behavior?" I hear Chris questioned in disbelief. "Well yeah, I don't allow any man to have a blow from his toxic ego, no offense. If a cis man wants to yell at my face or anyone I care about, I'll have to match their tone or take care of it, ya know." All women should be respected. I know it's not all men but some still act like they're 10. "Ohh that's what I'm talking about." Robert smirks. "Scarlett, they're a keeper." Chris hugs my shoulder.

Adrenaline is wearing off as I see Scarlett continue her conversation with Susan who seems to be Cobie Smulders. In the meantime, I teased around with the guys while I saw Mackie heading toward us. "WHAT'S UPPPP" He yells at us as I see Sebastian behind him. As Anthony caught up with the guys, I made some small talk with Sebastian. "Y/N/N, how have you been?" He asks as he comes in for a hug. We met during 'I, Tonya' in early 2017. I was with Kaitlyn, who was 5 months pregnant at the time. Sebastian and I have kept in touch since then. I never realized that I had so many opportunities to meet Scarlett. "So you're with Scarlett, congratulations. I told you but it took you years." He grips my shoulder as he laughs. "If we met back then, I don't think it would've worked out, Seb." I truly explained. "You have a point. Dealing with deployment and the curvă/bitch, you would've blown it. '' Sebastian admitted. During the shoot of I, Tonya, he taught me some Romanian, which I insisted on and I'm thankful for. Sebastian gets closer, whispering in my ear "Cum sunt contactele tale? Inca impreuna?/How's your contacts? Still together." We switch into his native tongue, "Da de ce?/Yes, why?" I questioned. I never expected Sebastian to ask this. "Putem continua altă dată, dar trebuie să vorbesc cu tine, în privat./ We can continue another time but I need to talk to you, privately." He quickly explained. "Just enjoy tonight, y/n/n." He continued as he slapped my back as we saw Lizzie heading toward us.

While Seb and Lizard caught up, I excused myself so I could go upstairs for my secondary phone. Thankfully, Scarlett didn't see me wandering out of the party. Once I got my phone, I opened it and texted the group. My contacts are like family, my little security team. Since my second deployment, I've had this system structured. Lucas, Amy, Luis, David, Ariel, and some more buddies are in this, they've agreed to the risk this can be. I texted the group of this new information, to prepare them.

From '3276988': Stan has questioned us. I'll have more info by tomorrow. How's the perimeter doing, 4502671?

For Lucas.

'4502671': Clear, no rats.

'8246710': Keep us in touch.

'3276988': Be safe, out.

Using your code names, I got a clear answer from Lucas and Nick. I put the phone away in my safe, as I check my primary rifle and classified documents. After closing my safe, I head back to the party, taking a deep breath.

A/N: 

I feel like this is just a mess but whatever. Thoughts? 

See ya soon....
