awesome andrea, bentley 23, team - future foundation

Meet the New Kid, Same as the Old Kid (Open to all FF, set after Grandfather events)
It happens without warning, striking the Baxter Building one floor at a time. A general murmur of static over the building's intercom systems, followed by the opening notes to 'Cocky', by Kid Rock repeating. Enough alarms are going off to draw most of the Foundation to the lobby.

Just as "Guess who's back?" comes over the speakers, the front doors to the lobby burst open.

Bentley 23, wearing a jetpack, a Hawaiian shirt, goggles, and jeans, marches in. A hovering cart full of luggage follows behind him.

"Okay... who missed me?" He grins.

	There was the sound of a repulsor blaster being charged. "I assure you, my targeting system is more than sufficient." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Bentley wheels around. "Andrea!" He swaggers over to hug her, apparently undaunted by the heavy weaponry. "How's my favorite harbinger of the machine uprising?" He inspects one of her activated weapons. "Oh man, is that a new Stark model? AIM-tech?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea did not remember Bentley being a hugger, but took it in stride. "I'll have you know I am only the understudy for the machine uprising. Which is not happening. At least... not any time soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, that's just what you want us to think..." He releases her, pointing from his eyes to her before grinning again.

"So, I'm back. My old room still free? I mean, I assumed I'd get a call if anyone ever set off the traps I set. How are the Moloids? I heard you're dating an Atlantean prince now? Did Franklin and Vincent reprise their 'stay away from our womenfolk, Atlantean' routine? Oh right, you were dating Vincent for a while, weren't you? Sorry that didn't work out. Don't worry, there's still a place for you in my regime, even if you're not the consort of my treacherous lieutenant. Can't believe he checked out so fast, I always figured Vincent would be here until he died... Oh well, must've been something urgent. Good to know he's still got his head on straight enough to realize I was the only natural replacement for his science around here, and my natural superiority in other areas more than makes up for those paltry cantrips he's so proud of. Plus, I can scrap better than he can, and I never had to rely on being a demi-god to get me by."

Inhale.

"So how're things?"

"Your room is still free. Vincent and Kristoff spent the better part of a day disarming your traps. The Moleoids have not lived here for several years now, but write and are doing well. Yes, I am. They seem to have calmed down in that regard, as he is not interested in Val."

No breath; on account of not actually needing to breathe. But a pause.

"I am well, thank you."

	"Awesome. Glad the whole fleshyness is working out for you ever since you got the synth-skin finalized." He gives her a... well, chaste in his mind, but perhaps less than polite pat-down. "Approximating standard deviation weight fluctuations, and growth patterns, I see. Mortality looks good on you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh.... sorry about that. Purely observational, I swear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good," she said. "Apology accepted. Do not let it happen again." "How long are you planning on staying?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bentley gesture to the luggage cart, heavily laden as it is. "I'm moving back in. I finished up my project for the government, so I had to bid farewell to my beloved Hawaii..." He sighs loftily. "They gave me my own private mini-island to work on, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A deep-coded program for personality responses asserted itself in the form of irregular blinking and twitching around one eye. "...I see." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiz_kid 2013-07-31 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"I know! I'm excited too!" He grins, then digs into one of his bags. "And I brought souvenirs for everybody!" He hands Andrea a pendant made from boar-tusk, and a Hawaiian shirt. "One of the locals I made friends with taught me to bow-hunt. And spear-fish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2013-07-31 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you," Andrea said, excepting the gifts. "These are quite exceptional." She went on. "It sounds like you had a productive time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, we all need a hobby. But do you know how many people or groups of people are already trying to take it over at any given time? It's ridiculous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea quoted a statistic. "According to the latest SHIELD bulletins, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiz_kid 2013-08-05 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	Bentley nods enthusiastically, throwing his arms up and pacing in agitation in a circle. "I know, right?! I mean, you think corporate America is an Old Boy Network? Try being a clone trying to break into supervillainy! I mean, AIM will barely even talk to you unless you can come with references these days, and that's just to get their spring catalog..."

	Face? Meet palm. "I am going to pretend I did not hear that, so I cannot be called to testify against you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You worry too much." He starts heading for the freight elevator. "In case you forgot: I'm awesome. I don't get caught." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	awesome_andrea 2013-08-07 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Andrea actually laughed at that. Not because it was funny, but because it was absurd. "Do I need to bring up specific instances?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I mean by the authorities! Kristoff and Reed don't count!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Semantics," Andrea teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiz_kid 2013-08-08 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Even so! I still got caught by them less than Valeria or Vincent." Bentley usually made sure that Valeria or Vincent could get caught before him, in fact. Certain sacrifices must be made. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea just shook her head. "I think things are going to get more interesting around here. Which the Chinese would say is a curse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiz_kid 2013-08-09 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh! Speaking of China, guess who hacked the plumbing systems for the People's Defense Force HQ? I'll give you three guesses." He grins, all but rocking on his heels. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andrea reached over and gave him a smack on the back of the head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wiz_kid 2013-08-10 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Ow!" Bentley holds his head. "You didn't guess! But more importantly, guess who was able to help the Chinese government fight off the 'vicious cyber-terror attack'? Oh yeah... even got a date with the latest Princess of Clouds out of it. Didn't go anywhere lasting, but nice evening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do manage to keep yourself busy," Andrea admitted. (Reply to this)(Parent)
