Semi-Mad Science
 Max had to admit, the Titans had a really nice setup here. He was surprised by how quickly they trusted him. While at first he thought that perhaps it was a bit naive, but in truth he appreciated it. It was the kind of acceptance he'd been looking for all his life. He wasn't going to let them down.

"Helping superheroes fight crime. That ought to stick it to the old man," Max said with a smile.

He practically salivated at the opportunities, eyes practically caressing the the materials at hand. Oh yeah, this was going to be fun.

"Yeah he does..wait, rebuild? Something happen here?" Max asked, concerned.

Max had enough social skills to know a sensitive topic when he heard one and didn't push the matter.

"Seriously though, I haven't seen this much high-tech stuff since the time I stumbled across one of Old Man Thaddeus' hidden boltholes."

"It's all way above my paygrade," Ruth says cheerfully. "What did you do with the stuff from the bolthole?"

"...Is that something you don't want to talk about to a theology major, or just something you don't want to talk about? Because I can grasp a few technical concepts."

"Eh..you'd probably disapprove. I..kind out of orchestrated a high-tech prank war against my school's popular clique," he admitted sheepishly.

"Only their pride," Max assures. "Yeah, it was childish, but those assholes had been on my case from day one. Does that justify it? Not really, but that's why."

"Well, I'm glad you knew better than to allow any injuries," Ruth said simply. And then there's a pause, and then Ruth asks with a sidelong glance, "...Were there any of the kind of people who say 'nice skirt!' and giggle with their friends, simply because the person whom they are addressing happens to prefer longer skirts than are currently in vogue?"

"Yeah, well, I didn't want to prove them completely right. I'm a semi-evil genius, at worst," he joked. He takes note of her question. "Oh yeah. The cheerleaders were particularly bitchy about that. One of the members, Tisha, one of the few you could actually take to, preferred them when not in uniform. Girls called her a prude and guys called her a tease. Bunch of bullshit."

Ruth frowns. "Poor thing. Blasted annoying, is what that is. People throw around the word 'prude' without any idea what they're talking about. And they assume such people'll never hold down a boyfriend and that he'll come running back to them like a starved puppy."

The frown continues. "There's a lot that can go wrong with something like that," she warns him. "Allergies. Accidents. I'm glad those days are behind you."

"Resisting temptation mostly," he joked, trying to lighten the mood. "In all seriousness though I think I could make a few tweaks to your security, maybe some automated defenses. Just ideas at the moment, I don't actually want to start anything without Ty's okay."

"I would be more concerned about getting approval from the team leader," Steve commented as he walked in. He had come down just to check something out, but overheard part of the conversation.

"Currently, that's Iris. But she'll more than likely be in agreement on upgrades."

"Hello, Steve," Max greeted the new arrival. He nods. "That's true. I haven't actually met her yet. What's she like? I don't want to make a bad first impression."

"Hello," Steve replied.

"Impossible," Steve commented. It's very difficult to make a bad impression on Iris. She's very friendly."

"That's a relief. I work good under pressure, but not so much with people," Max stated.

"Hi, Ruth," Steve replied. He gave her a small smile and a wave. Then he looked back to Max.

"Just remember that the only thing you might need Ty for in this situation, is consultation if you want some finer details on how he already set things up. You don't have to check in with him every time you want to do something to upgrade the tower."

"Hmmm, good to know," he pulls out a little notepad and a pen from his pocket. He begins to jot some things down. "I tend to remember things better if I read them," Max explained.

"It would be if it was just that, but it's more. I read something, and it's in my head permanently. I can't forget it," Max explained.

"It can be, but it can also be very annoying," Max informed. "When I say I remember everything I've ever read, I'm serious. Every nursing rythme as a kid, every little message I ever read on the schoolboard, awful books I tried to read through, etc. The plus side is I have to make a conscious effort to remember things from awhile ago, but just like every person I can remember random things for no apparent reason sometimes."

He sighs. "Don't I know it. Grandpa Sivana left a lot of journals, notes, and designs behind before he went off the grid. I read a bunch that he had in the bolthole I found. Lot of interesting stuff, but a lot of deranged rants and egotistical crap in there too."

He raised an eyebrow at Ruth before chuckling. "That's true. There were a lot of "Curses, foiled again!" and "Big red Cheese" references in there."
