The Plan (Anya, after her meeting with Austin)

Justin Rhodes had finished packing up his belongings at Misha’s loft and was waiting for a call from his dad about everyone’s time of departure from New York to head to Kansas City. He was thinking about Tina while he worked at his laptop, and was making a few last minute changes to some ideas he had when his AI, Tony, picked up on an article of interest.

The moment Justin’s eyes started reading the article, he knew he could do this. He absolutely could do this. He wasn’t sure who else had seen this, but he had to assume he was behind on this and that he didn’t have time to waste. He made a few sketches, a couple of mental calculations and decided that he could do the hardware for it, but the coding was outside his realm of expertise.

Fortunately, he knew exactly who to call for that.

“Tony, open a priority line to Anya Stark, please.” Justin says.

“Are you taking the challenge, Justin? I would be interested to see how this turns out.” he says.

“Oh yeah, this is going to work, especially for that prize money.” Justin says.

“That is a rather large sum. What do you plan to do with it, if you win?” Tony says.

“I’m going to start by creating an AI that asks fewer questions. After that, though, I’ve got some plans.” Justin says.

He waits for Anya to answer her line.

	"...I am not going to reprogram Darlene so she agrees with you. Stark. Talk to me," Anya said picking up the phone in mid-argument with Goddard. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Whoa, you and Steve are already fighting over the kids, huh?" Justin asks teasingly. "Hey, how busy are you these days? I came across an idea that people want brought to life and I can do the hardware, but not the software. I only knew one person with the skills to pull it off. You want to know more?" he asks, readying an e-mail with the link to the file. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Actually Goddard and I are arguing. He wants me to rewrite Darlene's code so she'll agree with him when it comes to custody arrangements for their kid." That was never going to get less weird. "Good. Finals coming up next week. The fun." A pause. "You need to ask? You know I'm always up for a new project." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay, I'm going to stuff down my question on how you mean 'kid', even though I really, really want to know. But I know you've got a lot on your plate with school, your team and being a newlywed, so I didn't want to assume anything before you said yes." Justin says, hitting SEND on the e-mail.

Anya will see that information on the contest and the device they want built.

"The only thing I haven't figured out is if they'll own it when I'm done. If they won't...then I've got the first item of sorts to roll out for the new subsidiary we're transferring to. But otherwise, there's quite a bit of money involved, and I'd split it with you for your help." Justin says.

He knows, intellectually, that Anya doesn't /need/ the money, but there's no way he won't at least make the offer.

"They built their own AI...don't ask," she said as she read the email. "Now they're arguing over custody rights. What they're doing is giving me a headache."

"I like this idea," she said as she read the email. "I can have legal look into who would have the rights to the tech submitted in this contest. But otherwise it's totally doable. I know Stark has been working on some hand-held medical scanners, but each one is for a specific thing instead of being multipurpose. I can use those as a base for the code. It shouldn't take too long to compile it all into one. When do you need this by?" Anya worked better with deadlines.

"Looks like the contest just started last month, so I'd like to see if we can get this done in thirty days, forty-five at the latest, because submissions are being taken on July 1. I'd like to get some test runs in before I submit, just to make sure there are no bugs or anything." he says.

"So, we've got less than two months. You think we can pull this off?" he asks.

	"Not a problem. It's good us Starks have sleeping problems," she said with a chuckle. "I'll do this only on one condition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That anything you give me for my share goes to Doctors Without Borders." She really didn't /need/ the money and it could always be put to better use. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a deal, Anya. Should we win, I planned to give half of the money to the new company, and split the other half between us." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good," she said. "It's a deal. I'll start on the basic code. Once you have the tech specifications, I can fine tune the code." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right. I'll get the schematic sent to you by the end of the weekend." Justin says. "Thank you for the help, Anya. I really appreciate it. If you need someone else to watch the 'kid', let me know." Justin says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You, too, Mrs. Barton." Justin grins, ending the call. (Reply to this)(Parent)
