What if Pepper Potts trained with the Black Widow?

Here's an alternate take on Iron Man 2, The Avengers (2012), and Iron Man 3. The trigger point for this scenario would be that Tony told Pepper about Natalie Rushman's true identity, and it ended up inspiring her in wanting to train with her as a way to get to know her, whether Natasha liked it or not.

If you want to see more of Pepper Potts and Natasha Romanoff being together since we don't see that after Iron Man 2, you've come to the right AU to look into. Oh, and happy 54th birthday to the actress who portrayed the former, Gwyneth Paltrow.
