Meeting "Mom"
Justin Rhodes sits in the lobby and waits to be called. He's not sure what he's doing here, but something in him figures it's better to speak to Virigina Potts now rather than waiting for the stars to align for them to meet up. So he dressed in one of the suits his new sister bought for him and went to her office to make an appointment. That was Thursday, after his date with Christina.

Now, it was Monday morning, and he was here to visit his mother on the job. He hoped she was as inviting as Rhodey had been. Or that she didn't hate the idea of having an adult son from another dimension. He'd take either one.

"Mr. Rhodes, Miss Potts will see you now." the receptionist says.

"Thank you. " he says, rising from his chair. He takes a deep breath, and hopes that his heart doesn't choose to give out any time in the next half-hour, and walks toward the doors.

"It's not an imposition," he insists. "I have two stepchildren and a horde calling me 'Uncle Tony' that I never got to see grow up. This is the nature of extraordinary lives. My concern, therefore, is not for me or either of your parents right now. I want to know, truthfully, how you are adjusting."

"It's going all right, sir. Anya and Steve were the first people I met when I arrived and both of them were very kind and helpful. I'm also getting know people at the Mansion." he says.

"I came to speak with Pepper today to break the ice, so to speak...and ask her if she knew of any job openings. While I'm here I'd like to earn my keep and be productive, and I'm willing to help out or learn what I need to do." Justin says.

"I'm assuming you're trained in something. What would that be?"

"Well, sir, I've got general training in applied sciences and engineering. I've done a lot of work with zero-point energy modules, both creation and maintenance. I also have background in robotics, but it's not my strong suit.

I've spent several years learning to build weapons, Mr. Stark. I've also maintained and made modifications to higher end technological equipment...if you get my meaning." Justin says.

"Mmmhhhmmmm." He thinks about this. "I think there's a need for an updated stealth suit. What give me the impression you know how to make a better one then I currently do?"

"I'd love to take a crack at it, sir, but I can't claim to build anything better than you. Technically, you taught me everything I know about engineering, design, and physics, so if I can design anything that out-performs what you've got working now, it leads back to you, Mr. Stark." Justin says.

"But I'm eager to learn and ready to work if you have room for me, sir."

He pats James on the back. "Humility. Nice trait. The fact it comes without grumpiness is also fantastic."

"Necessity," he explains, leading him to a side office. "Is the mother of invention, and it sounds like the world you came from was a real mother-of-something." He hands James a card after scribbling a number on it. "That," he says. "Is the number to my stepson living upstate. He'd like me to drop off the face of the Earth 9 days out of 10. However, he's a very good man with - last I heard - a very broken stealth suit. He's going to try to fix it himself, most likely, but you know my designs and likely how to improve on them. I'd specifically like whatever you can convince him to put in regarding turning Sentinels into scrap. He'll probably need it."

"If you want a job - and to try to make some friends here - I'd start with Misha. Feel free to let him know that no matter where I am, I'm a bastard. Should help break the ice. If you're able to improve the suit, you'll have a good start financially on a new life. Interested?"

Justin smiles broadly. "Yes, sir. I'm interested, and I'll contact Misha right away to set up getting started. I may need a lab to work out of if he doesn't have one handy. Would I be able to use Stark facilities to get the work on his suit done?" he asks.

"Oh, and I have a design idea in my head for a new suit. I'll bring you my preliminary specs for your review as soon as possible." Justin says.

"Sure, but follow Misha's lead." His mouth twists. "I don't know if you'll have a choice in the matter." He would tell the kid he's probably headed for Xavier's, or that Misha is very, very much the son of his wife and that Canadian crazy they named after walking case of shaggy bad attitude -

But why ruin the fun for them both?

"New suit can be looked at after you see about the older one," he says. "Might give you some insight."
