Intern at S.T.A.R. Labs

"Yeah , yeah. Just a normal day at work".

" Ad you always say that but the news keeps saying that the particle accelerator is dangerous, are you okay?"

"Mom I said it's fine, it's a news reporter's job to hook you with catchy articles, just like it's my job to fix the particle accelerator if anything happens. Don't just believe anything those news people say".

" That's true. My beautiful boy can put anything back together if he puts his mind to it. Although I've heard that cell towers can cause cancer.."

" MOM!!"

"I'm just pulling your leg sweety"

" Gahh, you're just as slick as those reporters aren't you mom". Adrian chuckled.

" Those reporters? Did you meet any newspaper people?"

" Uh-huh, there was an interview today at S.T.A.R. Labs , I unfortunately had to participate and show the CCN staff around, it was quite hectic—"

"What?"

" Yeah , they asked so many weird questions with Cameras pointing at my f—"

" Adrian Kirby Brown, I asked how your day was and you only now mention that you were in a T.V. news segment?"

" It was boring, I thought you wouldn't want to know"

" Dear, did you hear! Our son's going to be on T.V. !!!!!"

'Wow, IlAst time I saw her this excited was during her 47th birthday when I made her drone camera'

"Yoo kiddo, what's this of you being in National T.V. ey?"

" It's not National T.V. pops, it's the City news, also I don't even know when they will air that segment"

"Well you better ask them reporters cause otherwise your mother will be glued to the T.V. waiting for it haha"

" I'll send em an email. Is mom okay, she seems bit too excited "

" Remember those video tapes of when your mom was younger doing auditions?"

" Yeah, why?"

" You can figure out the rest smarty pants. Sleep well champ"

"Bye pops, say good night to Mum too" call cuts.

Adrian already knew what his father meant. Ever since he saw his mother's video auditions he knew, she was one hell of an actress, she shined without ever needing the limelight, alas she was too kind hearted and naïve to carve out of minor background roles and small adverts. She always dreamed of making it to the big screen , facing cameras as a natural and delivering dialogue after dialogue with passion oozing out enough to make a painting.

Heck she even tried to get her son to like her passion, to pass on her dream but 1 year of drama club was more torture for little Adrian than anything the teachers could dish out. She clapped the loudest when he as the fortune teller appeared on stage during Ceaser play. Probably the only one to clap during that's cene.

"Oh well, as long as I make a boat load of money , she will definitely be happy. Step 1 for that complete. Now time for Step 2 , start selling my services online"

After taking a few photos and uploading them , making a new account, pricing the services and setup done.

" Great, now I just have to wait till someone commissions my PCB making skills. Great."

What, what did you expect when he thought 'online services'. This ain't that kinda fic.

"Let's send that email to that Mason guy about my interview. Hmm CCN website, active reporters, contact info, here we go. Damn they write some sensational articles. 'The hood spotted again, disappeared right in front of police. Is he magic now?' lol. But what if?? Nope , just send the email and go to sleep".

After typing for a minute, hitting send and then hitting the bed. Moon sleeps, sun rises and another day begins. The radio turns on with the morning announcement and our protagonist gets ready for another day of hopefully normal work.

Getting through the gate, not losing his way and making it to his workplace, just to see an unexpected familiar face.

"Hey Adrian" it's the peppy labcoat girl.

" Good morning to you too.. um"

"It's Sarah, Sarah Sarason, bio tech department."

"Yeah sorry, I'm not good with names. So what can I help you with."

" Millions of Lives are at stake and you are the only one who can help me, please."

Is this the beginning of the epic hero's journey. Find out on the next chapter of, Intern at STAR Labs.
