SUNDAY, AUGUST 19, 2012. 09:00
Today was the day, both androids would pursue their desired objectives of art and science. Markus had gone shopping the day before since they might be having guests and they didn't want anyone finding out, and Connor cleaned the house. Markus, the caretaking boyfriend he is, chose Connor's outfit which was basically a mimic of his android suit but without the labels.
Markus kissed Connor as he opened the door. "Good luck detective."
Connor smirked. "You too robo-jesus." Using the revolutionary leader's nickname got him a smack to the arm but Markus still smiled. As Connor got into the Volkswagen he wanted to pat himself on the back, Markus had been getting more and more stressed about today than Connor. Getting the other android to smile was a huge accomplishment and lowered his stress level, soon, the current android knew it he was pulling up to Avengers Tower. The walk to the interview space was a bit long but the elevator ride was a little interesting since ACDC was blasting through the speakers. The waiting area was filled with possible candidates and Peter is there asking brief questions to everyone. As Connor was the last one to arrive Peter smiles and walks toward him.
"Hey Connor, I was hoping to see you."
Connor smiles. "Good afternoon Peter, was there something you wished to discuss?" The boy nodded and asked the questions on his board before trailing off topic.
"When would be a good time to come over?" Connor tilted his head. "I mean... I'm sorry, I was hoping we could perhaps meet up together at maybe your house or mine and watch a Star Wars marathon."
"With Markus?"
"Yeah, if you guys wanted to."
"Of course, we would be delighted. We could schedule for next weekend or if I'm not being too rash, you could spend a few nights since the series is rather long." As Peter started gushing about Star Wars and Connor listened intently, Tony Stark was watching from the office door. When he opened the door all small chatter ceased and everyone turned to look at him except the two students apparently too engrossed in their own conversation.
"Jane, interview the others or tell them to leave please. I already found my new intern." Tony whispered with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Jane, a substitute Pepper, raised a brow at Tony.
"Look, this second intern is supposed to work alongside Peter right? So if I find someone with the requirements that can also become friends with him all the better, and that other guy there is already friends with Peter." Tony smirked at Jane, he takes his job seriously when it comes to his friends. Pepper knows this, why can't she be here instead of going to that promotion gathering or whatever?
"As much as I agree with your reasoning you can't just throw the others away, interview the one you want while I interview the others." Tony sighed but figured it would allow him to prove his point. So the CEO strutted over to Peter and his friend, who lightly tapped Peter's shoulder so he could see Tony coming.
"Mr. Stark, this is the boy that knocked out Flash from school. Connor, this is Tony Stark, the genius himself."
Tony offered a polite smile. "Hello Connor, thank you for defending Peter from his bully, so you're fairly capable huh?" Tony asked as they entered the room Tony was in minutes ago.
"Well, I hope my violent behaviour doesn't bother you, sir. I used to be a part-time detective with my father years ago so training was mandatory." Both heroes eyebrows shot up.
"You were a detective?" Peter asked.
"Yes, my father was a police lieutenant and a thug thought that kidnapping me would be good for ransom. After that, I wanted to be a part of my father's police force but I was too young, I was allowed to come on the condition I would only do detective work."
"You're hired." Now it was Connor's turn to look surprised, but not half as full of expressive as the other two. "You have the qualifications, friends with Peter, and clearly can handle yourself, so you're hired. Come by the office tomorrow after school and we can get you started. Peter, could you show him out then meet me upstairs?"
"Um, sure." Peter motioned for Connor to follow. "So, how was the experience of meeting the one and only Mr. Stark?"
Connor glanced at Peter. "It was different from the file I had originally created to prepare myself, it seems I will have to scrap it and start over from personal experience."
Peter looked at the android. "You have a file on him?"
"Not a physical file, just a summary in my head." Connor still wasn't used to human metaphors and hidden messages within lies but he tried to blur out his slip of hinting being a machine. Thankfully it seemed to work, perhaps Connor is better than he gives himself credit for. They walked through the lobby doors of the tower and towards the androids car.
"Yeah, he tends to break all assumptions and the only way to really know him is to work with him."
"Thank you for telling me, and for walking with me to my car. You should head back before Mr. Stark begins to wonder what's taking so long." The waved goodbye and separated, when Connor got home he was met with four different cars parked in their driveway. He still somehow made it into the garage and was met with another surprise, four prestigious looking people standing in the hallway getting their coats on. One of them, an older woman with light red hair and green eyes, walked up to him with Markus.
"Connor, this is Pepper Potts, she has decided she wants to promote and fund my art." Markus smiled at the news like he just heard it for the first time.
"That's wonderful." The android couple hugged happily. The other guests saw, two of them sneered and hurriedly walked out the door with a quick goodbye while the other one simply smiled and wished the couple a good night. "Who was that?"
"That would be an art executive from the Museum of Modern Art, he saw my art from Instagram and wanted to meet. Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Potts." Pepper had been standing there awkwardly as the couple stayed attached and talked about the other supporter.
"It's alright. How long have you been together if I may ask?"
"Seven months and counting." Markus supplied with a loving smile at Connor, the other couldn't help but laugh before shaking hands with Pepper.
"My name is Connor Anderson, a pleasure to meet you."
"You too Connor, as much as I would like to stay and chat I have to get back to Avengers tower and make sure Tony did his job."
"If you are talking about the internship he already hired me, I start tomorrow after school." Pepper looked shocked, she took a deep breath and seemed to calm down.
"He gave a proper interview I hope?"
"I don't believe so, but he and Peter both seemed happy that I was hired. Markus, couls Peter stay over the weekend fr a Star Wars marathon?"
"Hold on, you know Peter?"
"Yes, we go the same school." Markus answered. "Ms. Potts, it's getting late and we all have to get up tomorrow." Pepper sputtered a bit before apologizing and leaving the two alone. They talked as they cleaned up from the gathering about Peter's visit, it was already 10:27 pm when the two lovers finally climbed in their bed.
