Stark takes Pepper out to a fair which features an archer named Hawkeye. When Stark has to change into Iron Man to stop a broken ride, Hawkeye is inspired to become a super-hero. Creating a costume and trick arrows Hawkeye goes out and stops a jewel thief.

Meanwhile Tony loses a chance at another date with Pepper when Happy beats him to the punch.
