Room 308, Wednesday Evening

May 01, 2013 19:44

With two days to go before he finally graduated, Tony wasn't expecting anything weird to happen. Well, no more weird than normal. Because when you spend a week in some weird ass dungeon, you had your expectations skewed ever so slightly ( Read more... )

Victor was taking a double handful of Gert's bagels up to his room, but he stopped to listen when he heard Tony and the news anchor.

"Hey, is that for real?" he asked through the crack. "Or is it some lame Internet parody?"

"For real," Tony grumbled, tossing his phone across the room in an angry huff. Justin had been kind enough to send him a text message to 'apologize'.

No hard feelings ;)

Douchbag.

"Sorry," Victor winced, and he was: For asking the stupid question, and for what was happening. "Can I come in? Or do you have, like, a bazillion lawyers to call and yell at for letting this happen?"

Tony waved him in before flopping backwards on the bed. "Just one lawyer that I trust. She's working on it."

Thanks, Mrs. Rhodes.

"Good," Victor said, coming in and leaning against a wall. "Wow, this must really suck as a way to find out. You gonna be okay?"

hoorayimrich May 2 2013, 01:21:38 UTC

"Once I'm done talking to Mrs. Rhodes, I'm drinking everything." Possibly an entire bar.

"I don't blame you," Victor said. He went quiet then, just staring at the TV. "I know I'm not like some corporate genius, but -- how did he even do that?"

hoorayimrich May 2 2013, 01:48:17 UTC

"Convinced the board that he's more reliable than and eighteen year old genius." A beat. "Even though his tech is the worst around."

ultron_junior May 2 2013, 02:27:53 UTC

"That's like age discrimination," Victor noted. "Is that even legal? Also, you're right, Hammer tech sucks in any universe."

hoorayimrich May 2 2013, 02:32:18 UTC

"I'm hoping it gets reversed and the board learns how dumb this whole idea was." Odds weren't in his favor.

ultron_junior May 2 2013, 12:18:57 UTC

"Maybe," Victor suggested. "Maybe you could do something kickass in Powerpoint, and ... okay, I officially have no ideas."

hoorayimrich May 2 2013, 12:22:54 UTC

"Maybe I should just show them why the Stark name is known as the best in tech." Yeah, starting his own company. With hookers and blow.

ultron_junior May 2 2013, 12:27:07 UTC

"Yeah, but if it was just about tech they wouldn't care that you're 18," Victor said. "So...."

New company. Hookers, blow, and trampolines in the conference rooms.

hoorayimrich May 2 2013, 13:02:25 UTC

It'll be like Sin City meets Silicon Valley!

"Ugh, how am I going to fund the suit?"

ultron_junior May 2 2013, 13:53:29 UTC

Victor shrugged. "License out a dumbed down version of a component for way too much money?" he suggested. "Or start robbing banks."

hoorayimrich May 2 2013, 14:00:38 UTC

"Banks might work..." No, Tony. "Or I could see if there are any think tanks willing to hire a high school graduate."

There were several, actually. One run by Reed Richards, and another by Hank Pym. This could only end in tears and academic man crushes.
