Super Detective in the Fictional World

t you’ll need to sign.
I’ll have Jarvis report to you later.”

Tony simply nodded and didn’t say anything.

Pepper’s heart ached when she saw him like this.
“Don’t dwell on it.
Go take a shower and go to bed.
Everything can wait until tomorrow.
I’m going back first.”

Tony said, “Be careful on the road.”

Watching Pepper get up, he suddenly remembered something.
“Where’s Natasha? Why isn’t she with you?”

Logically speaking, she was Pepper’s secretary and personal bodyguard, and should be helping Pepper handle matters.

Pepper slapped her forehead.
“Happy called earlier and said that she went to Hammer Industries to look for Ivan.
I was so busy that I forgot.
I’ll call and ask her about it.
You can get some rest.”

She then took out her phone and called Natasha as she walked into the elevator.

When she took the elevator down to the garage, she saw Natasha standing next to the car in the same business suit from before.

Pepper walked over with a concerned expression.
“How was it? Was everything alright on your end?”

While Pepper might be the CEO’s assistant in name, she in fact started running the company long ago, and was very good at reading people.

Natasha’s expression was the same as ever, yet there was something odd about it.

Pepper didn’t know what it was, but very likely something had happened while Natasha had been trying to catch Ivan.

Natasha shook her head.
“No.”

It couldn’t be a problem since Batman had taken him away.

She didn’t mention that she had tried testing the waters, only to be beaten up by that Black Cat who was Batman’s partner.

It wasn’t like Pepper was her mother; Natasha wouldn’t tell her anything.

It took all her willpower to sit down in the backseat as she endured the burning pain from her backside.
She wasn’t angry, however.

Humiliation didn’t exist.

The agents who came out of the Red Room wouldn’t feel humiliated just because they were beaten up.

In fact, she felt that Black Cat had already been going very easy on her; otherwise, why didn’t this “Devil Bone Breaker” just break some of her bones?

Because compared with broken bones, the fleshiest part could make someone feel pain for a long time without causing any substantial damage.

As Happy started the car, Pepper asked, “What did you find over there? Hammer Industries has to take responsibility for this.”

Natasha took out a USB and gave it to her.
“This is part of the information copied from their main computer.”

Pepper accepted the USB and found it strange.
“Part of it?”

Natasha said, “That’s all I got.
Also, I got it from someone else.”

Pepper was stunned.
“From your ‘colleagues’?” She couldn’t help but think of Phil.

Natasha glanced at her.
“Black Cat.”

Pepper was at a loss for a moment before she suddenly yelled, “Black Cat?”

Happy’s hands jerked with shock, and the Rolls-Royce Phantom couldn’t help but swerve as well.
He immediately apologized.
“Sorry, don’t mind me.”

Pepper didn’t think much of it.
Happy was Tony’s most trusted subordinate.
There was no problem with him hearing ordinary secrets like these.

She simply asked excitedly, “Is it that Black Cat who is Batman’s partner?”

Natasha had a strange expression on her face.
“As I recall, the entire world knows that Batman’s partner… is Iron Man.”

Pepper choked as her initial surprise and excitement was dealt a blow.
She was a little embarrassed.
“After all, she’s the first famous female superhero.”

Natasha’s lips twitched.
…True.
She was just an agent.
