16. Little Red Spy

I held up some pads. "Now I want you to give me a simple one two. Right here in the pad."

Jessi sent two punches at the pad. "Good but your stance is a little off. Move your opposite leg back slightly."

Pepper: "The notary is here. Can you please come sign the transfer paperwork?"

Jessi: "Mom look at me." She threw a few jabs with a better stance.

Pepper: "Good job. But I need your dads attention for a moment."

We both looked at the entrance to see a red head come in.

Jessi indicated for me to lean down. "I don't know much, but I do know that's a spy. Natasha Romanoff. One of your future colleagues." - "I do know this. But thanks. I'll handle it."

As I got out of the ring. "What's your name lady?" - "Rushman. Natalie Rushman."

A summary of all her Achievements appeared next to her head. "You modeled. Amazing." - "Thank you sir.." - "You're even fluent in French, Italian, Russian, even Latin. I thought Latin was a dead language." - "I'm a overachiever." - "Yes you are." I stood next to Pepper: "How's your day?" - "It's good. But what are you doing? Sign the paperwork so Ms. Rushman can be on her way." - "I have a better idea. Why not make her my new Personal Assistant. I mean she has the ability. No matter where I am, she'll be fluent in there language." - "No. I already have three lined up for you."

"What do you think Jess? You think I should have her as my assistant?" - "I think she'd be perfect Daddy."

Pepper: "What are you to up to?" I leaned next to her ear. "You'll find out soon."

I turned to her and put my finger print on the document. "So, what do you say?" - "I'd be honored, Mr. Stark." - "Good. We leave tomorrow for the race. I want you back here tonight so I can explain to you what I expect." - "Of course sir. I'll go file these back in the office, then make my way back." - "Good to hear… see you then."

I watched her leave the house with the cameras.

Pepper: "Anyone care to explain what's going on?"

Jessi: "Natalie Rushman is actually Natasha Romanoff. Shield spy."

Pepper: "Okay. What does making her your Personal Assistant accomplish?" - "Keep a eye on her." And see if she remembers the future. I have a feeling and it was just the way she reacted to me. It was like she knew something is different then the original time line.

Jarvis: "Sir, Ms. Rushman would like to enter your office." - "Let her in." - "Right away, sir."

.

Natalie: "Sir." - "Come in. Have a seat."

Once she sat down across from me I just stared at her. "So. How long have you been back?" - "I don't understand what you're saying, Sir" - "After you died. I know you're not from this time. So when did you come back?" - "Sir. I think you have something wrong. I'm not… from the future." - "Have you looked into the red room yet?" - "How do you know."

I smiled. "Well, even if you aren't from the future you just failed your mission as you gave away your not Natalie Rushman."

It was quite for a moment. "When did you awake. You history is completely different then I remember."

I smiled as portals opened up beneath us and we fell through to my workshop. I walked over to pour some drinks, and handed her one.

With genuine confusion on her face, she spoke: "What's going on?"

"There's still a lot more about this world that you don't know. Do you know that there's a hidden Community of wizards and witches. Every country has one, it's quiet something." - "Another hidden magical culture?" - "Yep. Sorcerer called them wand waivers. But you can use there magic with a wand. I do, have for.. god ages now." - "You have magic?" - "Many types actually. I have chaos magic. What Wanda used. Sorcery, and wand magic. It's really something when you get deep into it. I can do a lot with a mere thought." - "That's something scary to think about." - "I take offense to that triple imposter. How long have your been back?" - "Right after you've been saved." Woke up on mission." - "I was 11. Was told about the magical world shortly after." - "Your life is definitely different. You have magic and haven't I heard rumors you're engaged to Pepper." - "You think I'd come back and not make things right a lot sooner." - "Good." - "What?" - "It's good for you. A lot happened to you last time and I know she made you happy. But I have to ask. How's Morgan here and named Jessica?" - "Get this. She's from the future. A future where she was born 4 years before Thanos and apparently we won the first time. But a bigger bad showed up. So the future me sent her back." - "Well… that's good and bad news." - "Exactly." - "Any idea about what's coming that's worse then Thanos?" - "She didn't know. I didn't let her know anything. She was only 9 so I understand." - "No information isn't helpful." - "We have information. There's something coming that I didn't feel like we could beat. Before if I thought we could, I wouldn't of sent her back."

She looked around my workshop as she sighed. "You're right. You really have made this Workshop look futuristic." - "I couldn't stay in the past. It'd make working harder." - "What do you plan on doing about Vanco?" - "Him. Easy. I'll do what I did last time. I'll race, but when I fight him, I'll make sure he'll walk away with a limited life. I've developed a untraceable poison that once injected will only let him live for maybe, 2 hours. I don't plan on having him trash my Expo again." - "Why not just kill him when you fight. Why this song and dance." - "Simple. I want Justin to break him out first. So I can get him arrested and solve that little annoyance." - "You really have this planned out." - "I've been back since the 80's I've had plenty of time to plan and think about what to do." - "Am I still your assistant? You're obviously not sick, And you're not gonna let me get into your system to get anything anything. So what's the point of me being here?" - "Of course you are. I need you To give me a good report back to Fury." - "Still going to turn him down?" - "1,000% I've already started talks with the UN about making a team. I don't need Fury." - "Not a bad idea. This way hopefully the accords won't happen." - "We still have to be careful about how we handle situations. Otherwise they might still happen as a Advisement of my talks."
