Tony has started to donate and give away his prized possessions all freely, making Pepper almost lose her head at how irresponsible he's becoming. Yes, the Stark Industries company is flourishing, but with a CEO to make decisions, there's no one to actually take control. When confronting Tony about this, he pulls a reverse uno card.

It is now Pepper that becomes the CEO.

Taeyong was with his dad and Happy, playing around in their boxing ring when a frazzled looking Pepper rushed in complaining about documents and signatures. "What's that?" Taeyong asked, skipping over to the end of the boxing ring and leaning his head on the rope (something he wasn't supposed to do but continued to do so anyway). Pepper had been taking a lot more control of the company and since then, she's been working more with a lot of stress overtaking her.

"I need Tony to sign a couple documents, do you think you can get your dad out of there?" Pepper asked.

Taeyong turned around looking at Tony and Happy, currently sparring, "I don't think so. Dad said that no one can interrupt on Happy hour. And it's Happy's hour," he explained.

"Well it's about to be Pepper's hour. Tony get down from there!" the lady shrieked.

Taeyong flinched and covered his ears, turning around and shaking his head, "she's a screamer. Good luck," he quickly pushed his dad out of the way and started to spar with Happy. The man held out his pads whilst Taeyong started to punch them.

"The notary's here! Can you please sign the transfer paperwork?" she asked.

"I'm on happy time," Tony said. Taeyong gave Pepper a look to which she rolled her eyes and turned back to Tony, "Excuse me." He returned and picked up Taeyong, letting the boy be at Happy's height so he could jab at the man in his elbow.

"Ow what was that?!" said man exclaimed, rubbing his elbow.

Taeyong shrugged, "sorry Happy. It's called mixed martial arts, I watched a film on it with dad."

"It's called dirty boxing is what it is. No more watching martial arts films," he ordered.

Taeyong turned around in Tony's arms and pouted at his dad, "the man who's letting me watch murder mystery shows is banning me from watching fighting films. You just can't win!" he flailed his arms into the air and tutted whilst walking out of his dad's arms.

"All right then," Tony shook his head and lifted his arms for Happy, "Put them up, come on."

The notary then walks in, allowing for all three Happy, Tony and Taeyong to shift their attention to her. A lady wearing a dark suit that curved over her body in all the right ways walked up to Pepper. Taeyong blinked and whispered a small "she's so pretty."

"Yeah nope, too young," Tony pulled his gloved hand over his son's eyes. Taeyong grabbed his dad's hands and pulled them away, running out of the boxing ring.

Happy gave Tony's distracted head a light punch with his pads, not enough to hurt, but just the right amount of pressure in order to grab his bosses attention. "Lesson one. Never take your eye off—" Tony kicked Happy's speech, watching him crash into the corner of the ring before he looked back over at Pepper and the Notary.

"That's it. I'm done. What's your name, lady?"

"Rushman!" she perked up, "Natalie Rushman."

"Front and centre Rushman. Come into the church," he motioned over.

Pepper stared with disbelieving eyes as Natalie as if to apologize for her rowdy boss. "No. You're seriously not gonna ask..."

"If it pleases the court—"
