I've been thinking for a few days now on how to arrange this, but there is a woman who arrived earlier this month, who knew your father. Well knows since in her time he was younger and alive. Would you like to meet her?

Would you mind teaching me some kickboxing? Enough to help in case I get in a fix and have to get away from someone.

of course. did you just want to learn kickboxing, or other forms of combat?

[ she imagines pepper could be quite handy with a gun. ]

Whatever would be easiest for me to pick up.

[and somewhere, Tony looks slightly worried and has no idea why.]

kickboxing requires a lot of endurance and patience, but it's worth learning, especially in this kind of situation.

i could also teach you how to use a firearm, if you'd like.

[ tony can deal with it. ]

That would be acceptable, to both suggestions.

all right.

we can practice in one of the holodecks. do you want to meet there or outside one of our rooms?

[ she hasn't heard of anyone getting lost since people started finding the mysterious rooms, but that doesn't mean people might not still be worried. pepper is braver than most, but natasha wouldn't fault her for being cautious. ]

It would probably be best to meet outside the rooms. I haven't explored the ship much.

[ the thing is, tony isn't sure if he wants to meet her. yeah, he noticed her when she came. he knows what she's said, but meeting someone, anyone who knew his dad when he was younger is a bit...terrifying to him. ]

i know there is. i saw her. she's nice looking, doesn't surprise me that dad might have known her.

[ he's avoiding answering the question and he knows pepper will be able to tell. ]

asking natasha to teach you kickboxing? you that worried?

It would be a bit awkward, to be honest, but I'll be there with you. And yes. I was impressed, and what do you mean Natasha? I thought she was Natalie.
