Armor would be more effective for protection, I suppose.

It really is. [She smiles at this and taps her chin thoughtfully.] Have we met?

No, I don't believe we have. [he smiles and maneuvers his wheelchair closer so he can offer his hand] Charles Xavier.

[Sliding her hand into his, she smiles in return.] A pleasure to meet you Mr. Xavier. I'm Natasha Stark... Though, I won't mind if you call me Toni.

A pleasure to meet you as well, Ms. Stark. [he gives a light laugh] Toni. That's a very interesting name. I don't think I've ever heard that used as a nickname for Natasha.

Call it an intense desire to not be held down to the misconception that women have no place in the business world. [Smiling at him in slight amusement, it's really from her middle name, and really it is just that. Using a name that is sex unbias kept her on a level playing field.] Does it bother you?

Oh, no, it doesn't bother me at all. I just found it interesting. [He smiles] Do you find yourself needing an armored bodyguard often?

Pretty impressive.

"It really is. I made the armor myself." And maybe she's not nearly as attentive to the subject at hand as she gives him a slow once over. "Are you the famous, Captain America? I've been looking forward to meeting you. I heard about what Shield did when you woke up... certainly not my style."

Not anyone's style. -he holds his hand out to her- I'm also Steve. Steve Rogers.

Slipping her hand into his, she smiled softly. "Natasha Stark. But you can call me, Toni." And if there was the faintest hint of a blush, she'd deny it. "May I call you, Steve?"

-he smiles at her- Steve's just fine, Miss Stark.

"Toni." Correcting him lightly, she sent him a wink. "Unless you're a corporate fat cat, I'd appreciate it if you called me, Toni."

-stammers- Um, I'm not. But we...we've just met.

"Please don't tell me you're going to make me feel old just because of that." Sighing softly, she blows the hair out of her face. Defeated by manners.

My birht certificate might make you feel young again?

"You are just a charmer aren't you?" Looks at him, slightly amused before shaking her head. "I will get you to call me Toni..."

-he laughs a bit- Miss Stark.
