Recruitment Drive
Manny's current job had him looking after a wannabe-popstar. Not exactly a glamorous gig. The worst he'd had to deal with was an over-enthusiastic fangirl screaming she wanted to have the guy's baby. Manny rolled his eyes. It certainly looked like he was hitting a slump. Maybe he should try and work things out with the UWF execs.

	Bea steps into the atrium. "Yep. Nice to see you." She calls in on the communication system. "Anya, when you get a chance, the new guy is here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Blink. The intercom. Right. "On my way," she said over the intercom and then left the lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Likewise, Senorita Daysrping." The image of an eight-foot tall armadillo-man looking awkward will fill the hall for a moment. "So, um..how are things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Going pretty well, thanks. I've got the papers all drawn up." He'll note they're full of necessary-for-proper-legal-work-documentation information that he did not, in fact, give her. That's how she rolls. "You just need to initial where marked after you look it over. Hi, Anya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey Bea," Anya said as she walked into the room. "And you must be our newest member." She gave Manny a smile and extended a hand. "Anya Stark." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin walks in, his nose in a book and completely unaware of his surroundings. It's only almost tripping over some furniture that makes him take notice of the others. He takes one look at the new guy and shoots him an excited grin. "Hi!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Manny takes the paper in hand and tzakes a look. "Wait, how did..do I wanna know how you found out all this?" He switches hands with the paper and extends a hand to carefully shake Anya's hand. "Si, Manuel Rodriguez. My friends call me, Manny." He gives a light wave to Martin. "Hola." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know stuff," Bea says simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And some of us are really good with computers," Anya said. "Welcome to the Thunderbolts. I had a room prepared for you and don't worry I had things reinforced." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bea knows everything," he adds. Walking up to Manny, he tips his hat to the new guy. "I'm Martin! Nice to meet you." That excited grin just got wider. Cool looking teammate who probably had interesting powers and couldn't do magic? All pluses in his book. Turning to Bea, he just grins. "You got us a mexican superhero? This is the best team!"

	"Apparently," Manny said with a tad bit of concern. He hefts his gym-bag with his few worldly possessions inside. "Gracias, that makes things a lot easier." He raises an eyebrow at Martin. "Actually my dad is from San Antonio and my mother's white, chico." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2012-03-18 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Manny, this is Martin, the aforementioned magic-boy." Her eyes give Manny a slight 'he's very young' look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If there's anything you need or want, just say something and we'll get it for you. I'll have a laptop ready for you tomorrow." She smiled. "It'll have a special interface to make it easier for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Unfazed by Manny's correction, Martin waves it off. "I didn't mean that. I meant you speak Spanish, so I thought we got a Mexican superhero."

As a demonstration he places his hat on the ground and lets go of the spellbook which glows blue and floats in the air for a moment before doing a spin and jumping into the hat it shouldn't be able to fit into. "I know Latin too," he adds for no particular reason.

	"Oh? Well thanks, Senorita Stark." Manny wasn't used to somebody doing things to accommodate him outside his family. Taking Bea's look in mind, Manny does his best not to overreact. "A lot of cultures speak Spanish, Martin." A raised eyebrow. "Latin, eh? That's..cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bea flashes him an appreciative smile. "So, we can give you the quick version of the grand tour..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know that, it's just the only person I ever met who spoke spanish well was a kid at my school who was Mexican. He was cool, and good at chess," he brushes his hat off, still oblivious to the fact he may have touched a nerve. Following after them, he finally gets around to the question he wanted to ask. "So what can you do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He turns to Bea and Anya. "You guys got an exercise room or something like one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yep. Good a place as any to start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Cool." He turns to Martin. "I'll show you just what I can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-03-20 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes!" He jumps up a little, clearly excited, and punches the air. A few sparks fly from his fist but they disappear rather harmlessly. And off he sets to the training room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll leave you in Bea and Martin's capable hands," Anya said. "It was nice to meet you and welcome." She gave him a smile and then headed off to the lab. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You too, Anya," manny called back. He let Bea take the three of them to the training area. "So what kind of stuff do you have in here? I don't want to break anything if it's going to cost you guys a lot of money." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
