==Plot==
Tony Stark promotes Pepper Potts to CEO of Stark Industries. Stark looks for a new assistant and briefly considers Happy Hogan, but realizes that Hogan already has too many jobs. While training with Hogan, Stark is approached by "Natalie Rushman" with a contract for Stark to sign. Stark talks to "Rushman" and is impressed with her qualifications, so he makes her his new assistant.
Stark goes to Monaco, where "Rushman" helps by ordering their food in French. Potts follows "Rushman" and overhears her on the phone, telling someone Stark's location. Potts scolds "Rushman" for revealing Stark's location. Stark surprises his friends by signing one of the race cars, and "Rushman" calls someone to explain that she did not know. The track gets attacked by Whiplash, and Stark fights him, leading to his arrest.
Back at Stark's mansion, Stark is confronted by Nick Fury, who reveals that "Rushman" was really S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha Romanoff. Whiplash escapes prison and uses an abandoned warehouse to build a series of robots to attack Stark. He attacks a show meant to display new technology, and Stark shows up to fight him. Stark asks Romanoff to find Whiplash's hideout, so Romanoff and Hogan rush to the warehouse together. They fight through the guards, but find that Whiplash is not there. Romanoff returns to help Stark fight the drones, where Whiplash waits for them.

==Behind the Scenes==
===Continuity===
In this story, Natasha Romanoff introduces herself as Natalie Rushman, Stark's new assistant, while in the movie she starts as Stark Industries notary public. There are other scenes that do not fit the continuity of Iron Man 2. For example, Nick Fury visits Stark at his mansion rather than approaching him at Randy's Donuts. Furthermore, Whiplash escapes from Batiment B3 by punching through a wall wearing his suit. Justin Hammer is largely omitted from this story. Therefore, this material is deemed non-canonical.
