So True of Aim With His Marshmallow Laser

Jay had less of his senior year in front of him than he thought. He was behind on his senior year job shadowing. Most of his fellow students on the rez had access to all the Keewazi technology businesses and labs to do theirs in. He was in New York City and had fewer options.

He knew he could have gone to the Future Foundation and gotten credit for it. However, him showing up at Pier 4 would have been a signal for Mary to prank him somehow. Rather than deal having to redo somethings due a prankster shapeshifter, Jay got some suggestions from his school for some science-based businesses in NYC that he could get credit for.

Jay currently stood outside a nondescript building housing several businesses that could fit his science job shadowing requirement. He checked the slip of paper once more to make sure he had the right address. If he had not been specifically looking for this building, he doubted he would have even noticed it.

Shrugging to himself, he headed toward the front doors. He had an appointment with one of the businesses inside. He was dressed in a light jacket over a button-down shirt, his cleanest pair of jeans, and his pair of green Chuck Taylor All Stars on his feet. Not very science-y, but comfortable to him.

The lobby of the building was quite different from the outside, very modern and minimalist. So minimalist that the walls appeared to be a solid stretch of brushed metal, except for the single rectangle of deep green glass hanging directly across from the entrance.

They appeared solid, that is, until a door slid open next to the glass panel revealing an elevator car and a young woman with flaming red hair. She stepped out into the lobby and smiled.

Minio... labratory assistants appeared with a gurney that they strapped Jay onto, then took him further down via a hidden elevator. The room they wheeled him into looked like an unholy amalgamation of a particle physics lab and a rave club from the '90s, with softly glowing green tubes running all along the ceiling. They moved Jay from the gurney, taking his clothes, and draping a sheet over his body, then placed him onto something that slightly resembled an MRI table.

The burly assistants left, and the room was quiet, but not empty. Lena stood at Jay's feet, eyeing him curiously.

"Dr. Green says you're a Hulk..."

She reached out and gently squeezed his big toe.

The expensive teak paneling in the hallway cracked and splintered when Jay broke through, revealing a network of circuitry buried in the walls. It crackled and sparked. Alarms blared from speakers that were also hidden in the walls, and every one of those dark glass panels flashed an alert, but the corridor was empty.

Empty, until one of the walls slid back. A small group of minions in powered body armor stepped out. There were only three of them, because the armor was too heavy for the elevator to carry any more.

The armor looked like it had been hastily worn, and the faces behind the slightly askew visors looked very frightened indeed.
