I was minding my own business when....
The shoot for his latest movie, The J-Team, brought him back to Boston for the next two weeks and Austin Caine found himself excited at the prospect. He'd get to hang out with Anya again, if her schedule allowed, and they could go out for burgers again or just hang out and talk cars or motorcycles. She was a fun girl to be around and Austin liked when she'd call him up to chat or ask about things like going to the Stark Charity Ball.

Maybe he'd take the time out to get fitted for a new tuxedo today after filming wrapped.

Right now, he was on set working with Christian Bale, who played the leader of the J-Team, Julian Jameson. Austin played Jarrod Jennings, the technical support guy of the group.

"The good news is that I can have the zero-watt generator built in two days, J. The bad news is that it'll have to be stationary unless I can call a friend of mine to help with the work. She's tough to track down, but she's worth every penny in the brains department." Jarrod says, and Austin smiles inwardly at sneaking a shout out to Anya into the movie.

"Make the call, J." Julian says.

Less than thirty feet away, a catering truck explodes and everyone is thrown to the ground, knocked senseless from the blast.

Austin is pretty sure /that/ isn't part of the script.

"Can he be discreet? I really don't wanna go from one group of people holdin' my past over my head to a single person doin' the same thing." Austin says.

"Wait, I'm sorry. You're offerin' to help and I'm bein' a Nervous Nelly. If you think this guy is on the up-and-up, then I trust your judgment." he tells her.

"How do we find your guy?" he asks. "If he needs to be paid, I'll cover it."

"Oh he won't use anything against you," she assured him. "But you will know when the situation has been dealt with. It will be quite obvious." The Punisher never did anything quietly or discreetly, but he was effective.

"I got it covered," Anya said. Payment would most likely be in the form of information or something of the like.

"Which reminds me..." she said and brought up a holographic keyboard. She started doing a search on his two identities. The information appeared in front of her when the search was complete.

"Goddard, can you please contact Agent Morgan?"

	"One of the two in the building," she answered as she read through the displayed information. "Goddard runs the information systems and Aristotle runs the building. Goddard, say hello to Mr. Cain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You saw my films?" Austin asks, a little surprised. "Well, thank you, Goddard. If you enjoyed 'em, then I'm glad." He waits until Anya's back is turned. "So what's it like dealin' with a crazy redhead on a daily basis?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course I did. You're welcome. I look forward to new ones." There was an audible sigh. "It's been hard. She's stubborn and difficult to deal with. Things would be much better if she wasn't so difficult to deal with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A screen came to life and an image of a man appeared on it. "Hello, Miss Stark. What can I do for you today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Agent Morgan, thank you for taking this call. I am sending you images of the man responsible for the bombing today. If SHIELD moves quickly, you can probably catch him before he gets out of town."

Anya smiled.

"This is Austin Cain and he has a little problem. He's in trouble with the maggia and I would take it as a personal favor if you could help him make his real name and identity disappear."

	"She is certainly the most stubborn woman I've ever met, Goddard. But she's also very unique." Austin tells him. When Anya mentions his name, Austin waves at the SHIELD agent on the screen. "Good to meetcha, sir. I'm havin' a little identity crisis and wondered if there's anythin' you can do for me, like Anya said." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Agent Morgan was silent for a moment. Then he spoke. "I think we can help," he said. "Would you be able to meet with me tomorrow? We can work out the details of what you need then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's a tracker on the guy responsible for the bombing," Anya said. "I text you the frequency so you can find him." She smiled. "Thank you, Agent Morgan. This guy's a friend and I'd hate to see something happen to him and others around him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course I wouldn't Agent Morgan. I'll even make sure to have some food from the Indian place across the street." She smiled. "I know you have a fondness for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good, Agent Morgan. I'll be here." Austin says. "I'm always up for free food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Agent Morgan nodded. "I will see you tomorrow then." The display went dark. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He was more cooperative than ususal," Anya commented. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is he usually /not/ cooperative?" Austin asks. "You trust this guy, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-12-02 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"SHIELD can be difficult to work with at times," she said. "They're usually not willing to do things this easily." "As much as one trusts a government organization," she said. "Hungry? I can grab some food for us and then I can show you to your room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-12-02 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"Food is great idea, Anya, but you don't need to put me up here. I can go back to the hotel I'm stayin' at. You already scared off the muscle, so I'm safe now." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-12-02 05:37 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "We don't know if that's the only one that's been sent after you. You will stay here tonight. No one will bother to try to attack you while you're in the middle of a superhero team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We're here to deal with trouble," she assured him. "I'd be worried if we weren't in the middle of trouble. They'll be fine with it. Promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
