It's a Monday night where everyone outside of the docks are worrying about getting some good nights rest, how quick will it take to get the kids ready on time, or even if they should skip the Pilates class this coming Wednesday just to indulge in some Cheesecake Factory with your high school girlfriends. Those thoughts are what's plaguing the mind of the women in the 21st century today. But not Neora, in fact, she doesn't really worry that much anymore. The only times she's worried it's only brought her closer to being a homosapien. But Neora isn't and will never be human... she is a mutant. And with being a mutant, it means that she is forever an outcast.

"I only trust this with you because of how your reputation precedes you" A man in a beige suit said to her, "Rumor is, you can get jobs done"

Neora waited in the darkness as a lackey came over to the woman and handed her a profile. She opened it and noticed a very familiar picture that she had to admit, took her by surprise. Anthony Stark was smiling back at her in one of his fancy suits with a classic bow tie on. He didn't seem harmless but even people who lived under a rock would recall the infamous battle that he was apart of. The Iron Knight is what people have been calling him these days, something that has made this man in front of Neora very upset.

"I will call you in three days when the job is done"

"No!" the man yelled out, making Neora stop from walking away.

"Isn't that what you called me for?" Neora questioned.

The man just gave a slight chuckle as he shifted his feet a little bit. Neora slowly crossed her arms over her chest as she waited impatiently for a response. Not to sound rude or anything but she had just come back from a job in England and hadn't slept for the past 36 hours. All she wanted to do was to lay back down in her comfortable bed and sleep but in order to do that, this man had to speak his damn mind.

"No, I want you to do much more than that. I want you to make him all in love with you, have him believe that you are his soul mate. Then I want you to rip his heart out, make him suffer before you kill him, and of course, the extra load will be paid to you over 75% of what your orignal price is" The man smiled, "Have you got a deal?"

Neora shifted her feet as she looked back down at the picture in her hand. She had to admit that this one was quite a looker and she could easily see how he had such a reputation with the ladies. She glanced back up at the man and smirked at him.

"Deal" she replied, "But how do I go about in introducing myself to him?"

"You have an appointment with him in the afternoon" the man informed her.

Neora nodded as she turned around and left down the alleyway to where she had just come from. She had a feeling that this job was going to be an interesting one.

Little did she know that this job was going to change her life forever.

"Seriously?" Tony asked the next day.

"I think this will be a good thing for you" Happy followed him over to the kitchen.

"I said to hire my a new CEO, not an assistant" Tony rolled his eyes.

"Maybe with Pepper leaving the business, it only means that you should stick around a little while longer" Happy pointed out.

"Especially how the Senator was on my ass about two years ago about my suit" Tony interfered, "Still can't believe he called me a prick"

"Trust me, she came highly recommended" Happy told him, "I think you'll really like her. Plus, she's not a bad looker"

"I see where this is going" Tony pointed to his friend, "You're trying to set me up with someone in also the process of making someone my assistant. Why are you doing this to me? After everything I've done for you"

"I just thought that maybe it's a good idea to stop calling Ms. Potts every five days" Happy let out.

"Why not?" Tony shrugged.

"Because she can now file a restraining order on you" Happy told him, "Maybe it's just time to still be preoccupied with something else. Take your mind off of Ms. Potts and work on your business"

"I'm working on my suits" Tony walked over to his couch, "That's what I've been doing this whole time after that alien invasion. I've been working on preparing if the pretty thunder God has a crazy sister who wants kill off human civilization again"

"I didn't mean it like that" Happy responded, "The world is very thankful for what you did in New York. I'm still grateful on how you placed a nuke up into space"

"Sir, a woman is at your door" JARVIS said from up above.

Tony sighed as he walked over to his armchair and sat down with a plop as Happy went over to introduce himself. He took another drink out of his shake as the bags under his eyes seem to feel increasingly noticable. No matter what happens though, the nightmares of the alien invasion still haunt his mind. Tony got up as the woman came over to him in high heels, a pencil skirt and a black blouse. He shook her hand and gave her a small smile as Happy positioned a chair to be right in front of him. She placed her folder onto his small table, making him look up at her as she sat down and waited for the interview to begin.

He had to admit that this woman had definitely done her homework as she knew that he didn't like to be handed things. He picked it up and started to skim over it as he realized that Happy was right. Tony glanced up to Happy who was watching from the kitchen. Tony decided to put on a show as he cleared his throat and started to cluck his tongue. He placed the folder down and looked at the woman, trying his best not to realize that she's good-looking.

She sat there completely still and poised as she waited for him to begin. But as she noticed that Mr. Stark was only just going to stare at her, she casually looked away and blushed as she placed a strand of hair behind her ear. Neora fumbled with her fingers as she tried her best to keep her composure and not give away that she was incredibly nervous around him. She then decided that enough was enough as she cleared her voice and looked back to Tony Stark.

"So how would you describe yourself?" Tony asked, "If I were to introduce you as my assistant then what would you hope that I said to my buddies about you"

Neora blinked up to the ceiling as she thought long and hard about that question. She wanted to impress him on the first day and she knew exactly how to get into this man's heart. But playing off as a little introvert didn't hurt as much either.

"I would hope you would say that I'm imaginative and a strategic thinker with a plan for everything" Neora responded.

Tony nodded in approval before he noticed that Happy was smiling in the background. He quickly cleared his throat and tried to summon up his inner dad.

He placed his elbow on the arm rest and continued to look at her as she squirmed under his gaze.

"Those are some interesting choice of words" Tony responded, "What are you trying to hide?"

Happy rolled his eyes as he knew where Tony was taking this. The poor girl didn't need this kind of treatment especially after all the trouble she's been through. He now felt sorry for accepting her offer a couple of days ago. If he knew any better, he would've ask JARVIS just to interview her. Happy straightened up and was about to walk over to the two sitting in front of one another but Tony lifted up his hand to stop him. The man stopped as he wished that he could have made this girl's life a little bit easier for her.

Neora smoothed out her skirt as she looked down to her nail polish as she pretended to be full of nerves. She knew that the card she was going to play was going to be a wild one but she had to let this out before this mission goes on any further. It could either make Tony send her far away as humanly possible, or fool him into thinking that she's confiding in him. Still, she glanced over to her glass of water as she wished to take a drink out of it. She had to downplay her performance in order to make this work.

"You truly are a genius, aren't you?" Neora let out, "There is something that I'm hiding that's not on my resume. I'm a mutant"

"You're hired"

Tony got up and walked back over to his kitchen in order to refill his smoothie, leaving the girl sitting there to take everything in. Sure enough, when he turned around, the woman was standing up and looking over to Tony in disbelief. She seemed at a total loss of words and so did Happy. He poured the thick liquid into his container as she slowly made her way over to the counter.

"What? I'm hired?" Neora asked, "But why? I'm a mutant. A freak"

"Rule number one" Tony stated, "Don't ever refer to you or any other mutant as a freak"

Neora quickly closed her mouth and nodded as she straightened up her shirt. Happy only smiled as he felt honored to be in this moment. Tony, was just acting like as if this was just any other casual talk that he would be having with Dr. Banner.

"Yes, sir" Neora nodded, "I never referred to my kind like that anyways"

"What kind of abilities do you have?" Tony asked.

Neora straightened up as her skin and hair turned a light green, catching both Tony and Happy by surprise. She then reached out, grabbed a knife, and slammed it into her chest, only for it to bent backwards.

She changed back into her regular skin as she walked over to the couch and lifted it up with one hand.

"And there's one more" Neora mentioned, "I can control the element of air"

Tony looked outside and gawked as he noticed that his Malibu home looked like it was in the middle of Kansas with a gushing rush of wind outside. He had never seen a mutant so extraordinary and have a vast amount of abilities. But just as Tony took a step closer to the glass, Neora stopped and turned it back to the warm weather that it was supposed to be. Not to sound a little bit too selfish, but he realized that he really needed this 'Neora' around to help him with his Iron Man suits. He turned around and nodded an approval as he walked past her. Tony didn't want to give it away too much that he was impressed with her on the first day, especially with Happy in the room with them.

"You start tomorrow" Tony called over his shoulder, "You may want to dress more comfortably for this kind of job"

Neora smiled to herself as Happy shook her hand in respect. Happy then waved her over to the door and explained how he will need her address in order to pick her up from here on out. Neora gushed as she couldn't believe at how fast Mr. Tony Stark had accepted her as an assistant. She had to admit that having the billionaire fall for her was a brilliant idea coming from her client. She was at least one stop closer to achieving her goal in making the Iron Knight head over heels for her.
