Black Widow 3

Soon the dishes arrived and Jack and Natasha had a good dinner. They talked about ordinary things and had a pleasant conversation.

Natasha had come to dinner to investigate Jack, so she carefully asked several things about his past, so that Jack wouldn't suspect anything.

Jack had nothing to hide about his past and told several things about the time he spent in the orphanage, about the difficult moments he had, and how it made him stronger and more mature earlier.

Even though Jack knew that Natasha was investigating, he could tell the truth and thus she would know about his past. Unlike Natasha, Jack didn't ask anything about Natasha's past.

Jack knew Natasha's true past well from the movies, and if he asked, Natasha would tell him about Natalie's invented past, which Jack didn't want to know.

After dinner, Jack helped Natasha get into the car and took her back to her apartment. Jack helped Natasha get out and before she left, he gave her a kiss on the cheek and left.

Natasha entered her apartment thinking about the dinner she had. Natasha had had several dinners like this at her spy job, but it had never been like tonight.

Jack told everything Natasha asked about his past and didn't ask anything about hers. Natasha felt like she was punching in the air because she had studied for several hours about her false past, preparing for the dinner.

Natasha felt with her feminine instinct that Jack had told the truth and everything he said was similar to the information S.H.I.E.L.D. had about Jack's past.

But Natasha didn't know if her feminine instinct was right this time because she felt that Jack seemed to know that she was a spy and was in disguise, so he didn't ask about her past at dinner or in the last few days.

Even though Natasha thought about it, she wrote down everything that happened at dinner in a report and sent it to Fury. The last thing she thought about was why Jack didn't try to kiss her or make any other moves that night.

Natasha couldn't help but think that it was a relaxing night. Everything she thought would happen to avoid unwanted things didn't happen. It was just dinner.

Fury received Natasha's report, did some research, and soon concluded that Jack was not a spy. And if he was, they would never be able to find out. So he told Natasha that her new objective was to try to see if Jack was Iron Man.

In the following days, Jack continued to treat Tony, who was feeling much better after having less than 40% poisoning. Jack decided that it was better not to waste any more time and decided to help Tony develop the new element.

"Tony, you look much better, so I think we can start preparing to remove the palladium from your body," Jack said after having breakfast with Tony.

Tony was surprised by what Jack said. He wanted to trust Jack and thought he was a genius, but he had looked at all the elements on the periodic table with J.A.R.V.I.S. and hadn't found any element that could keep him alive and replace the palladium.

Tony thought that maybe Jack would use his power to perform surgery on him to remove the fragments from his heart, but Jack said he wanted to help by removing the palladium from the arc reactor and replacing it.

"Okay, I was looking forward to this. Now tell me, Jack, how am I going to replace the palladium in my arc reactor?" Tony asked anxiously.

"As I said, I will help you find the substitute for the palladium, Tony. You think I'm a genius, but the real genius is you, and your father knew that well," Jack said.

"What does my father have to do with this? I don't think my father was very proud of me. After all, he hardly ever had time to see me. He was cold and calculating and never said he loved me," Tony said, remembering his father.

"Tony, I'm going to tell you a secret, but only because I trust you. Don't ask me how I know, or I might get in trouble. And don't tell anyone else, can I trust you?" asked Jack.

"Sure, you can trust me. I owe you my life," said Tony seriously.

"Do you know Natalie Rushman, Pepper's secretary, The girl I'm trying to get with?" asked Jack.

"Of course, I know her. Wow! You're quick to change the subject, I can't keep up," said Tony.

"Relax, it'll make sense. I was impressed to see her in your office because I knew her before. Her name is Natasha Romanoff, and she's a spy," said Jack, leaving Tony shocked.

"She's a spy? I see. The name Natalie Rushman is fake. Is she a spy for our government or another place?" asked Tony.

"She's a spy for an agency called Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement Logistics Division, S.H.I.E.L.D. Technically, it's a government agency," said Jack.

Tony believed Jack, especially since he had no reason to lie to him about it. This made Tony angry. Lately, he had been getting more and more upset with the government, which continued to harass him even after he stopped selling weapons to them.

He was even angrier because Natasha had gotten close to Pepper and was her secretary. Tony wanted to call Pepper to have Natasha fired. Now Jack understood why he asked if there was a bug in his house.

"Don't worry, Tony. She doesn't want to harm your company or hurt Pepper. That's why I'm still seeing her. I want to be able to stay close to her even after she introduces herself as Natasha," said Jack, laughing to calm Tony down.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. sent Natasha to investigate your company to find out who Iron Man is. So, she'll be in your company for a while until she finds out. They also want to know if Iron Man is a threat or can be a hero," said Jack.

"I mentioned S.H.I.E.L.D. because your father is one of the founders of that agency. Don't ask how, but I once saw a video of your father talking about you. He said you were his greatest creation and his greatest pride. And that you could continue his legacy," said Jack.
