One month later... Malibu, California.
Tony went to court with the government, and in order to avoid embarrassment, Indra didn't go to the hearing. She knew Tony would pull some jokes and stunts and somehow manage to get on the front page of every gossip page. Tony was just arriving home when Indra was working on her Iron Man suit. Tony bursted into the room and told JARVIS to begin blasting music. Tony greeted Indra with a messy kiss. Indra smiled into the kiss, glad to see that he was happy to be home. "I just hired Pepper as Stark Enterprise's CEO." He announced, relieved.
Indra's smile dropped. "You what?!" She exclaimed. Tony walked over to the bar in his lab and began to pour some champagne for the two of them. Indra stomped behind him.
"Pepper is the CEO now. She's capable, more capable than me, for that position." Tony assured.
Indra rubbed her temples, for a sudden migraine was developing. "Oh my god. I am dating an idiot." She complained.

The next morning, Tony was doing his daily boxing workout with Happy as Indra watched. She could've easily obliterated both Tony and Happy in the ring, and Tony knew it, but she remained silent. "Notary's here!" Pepper announced as she entered the house with a young redheaded woman.
"I'm on Happy time!" Tony shouted back.
"Arms up!" Indra shouted at Tony as he punched Happy.
Tony eyed the redheaded girl doing the paperwork to sign over Stark Enterprise over to Pepper as she entered the room. "What's your name lady?" Tony asked.
"Rushman. Natalie Rushman." She introduced.
"Front and center, come into the church." He point into the ring.
"No, you're seriously not gonna ask-" Pepper began.
Indra eyed Natalie suspiciously. Something seemed off about her. She reminded Indra of herself, almost. That dark gleaming looking reminded Indra of her espionage days. "It's no problem." Natalie accepted the challenge, which gave Indra a major red flag.
"I'm sorry." Pepper apologized as she shot Indra a worried look.
Natalie entered the ring and began training with Happy. "Who is she?" Indra asked as she sat in the chair next to Pepper. Tony squeezed into the same chair as Indra.
"She is from legal. And she is potentially a very expensive sexual harassment lawsuit if you two keep ogling her like that." Pepper scolded Indra and Tony.
Tony turned to face Indra, whom was still staring at Natalie. "I don't know if I should be jealous and offended or content?" Tony referenced Pepper's insinuation that Indra was interested in Natalie.
