"Stark doesn't trust me" Natasha answered simply, "I was sent by SHIELD to keep an eye on him by infiltrating his company and posing as an employee" she explained, "When he found out he wasn't happy" though she still suspected it was more that he hadn't realized than anything else, it frustrated Stark when anybody managed to keep things from him.
Natasha considered for a moment, "There's Pepper Potts, she is CEO of Stark Industries as well as being involved with Stark himself" she told the other woman, "Pepper has the patience of a saint and she's a good person. You'll get one well I think"
