Media Secret: Hidden Johansson

New Deal

"Okay, so do you want to walk in together? Or separately? We are meeting the Russo's so there will be articles written about it. What do you want?" My mother asked me as we stood in the doorway of our house.

"We walk in together... I might as well roll up my sleeves they will think I'm signing for Marvel like you... If we go in separate then I'm like anyone else and it looks like you are having dinner with the Russo brothers. Which is easier for your team?" I ask her now pacing on the spot.

"Everyone knows my Marvel contract ended with Black Widow, they may think that Natasha will be back on their screen I have hidden Marvel secrets for year's I am okay with that. Colin can get a friend to drop you off, as long as your sleeve stays down to hide your tattoo, no one will know it's you. I can drive myself and meet up with you inside." she explains her plan and nods her head in agreement, it doesn't take long for Colin's friend to you up in the driveway.  I slide into the car with my sunglasses over my eyes and my shirt covering my tattoo. We arrived outside the restaurant and there were already Paparazzi outside, I walked past with no cameras in my face luckily. I make my way to sit down at the secluded table at the back as I wait. I pull out my phone for the first time this morning to see a text.

?: Hi stranger, it's the girl from the coffee shop this morning. Thank you for the hoodie turns out it was a lot more helpful than I thought, let me know when you are free maybe I could repay you for the coffee. Xx

T: Hi coffee girl. I'm glad it helped, why don't you let me know some days that you are free? Xx

?: Coffee girl? I would love to see you again, I am free for lunch on Thursday. If you like? Xx

T: Sounds amazing, I know a nice Italian I can send you the address and I'll meet you at 12. xx

I am distracted afterwards by the flashing of cameras outside, only to see my mother walking in through the door, she comes in and sits at the table ordering us a bottle of wine.

"Does that ever get easier? It looks and feels bloody terrifying" I ask her after she has settled in her seat.

"Tommy I can ignore it, you have Anxiety it makes it harder for you but that's what the therapy is for and considering it was only a small panic attack today was good it means it's working," She says placing her hand on mine squeezing it.

"You're right, thank you for everything Mom and for understanding everything," I said squeezing her hand back.

"You know your accent changes mid-sentence sometimes from British to American it's really cute" she says nudging me as I am about to respond more flashing lights appear outside and the Russo brothers walk in. I stand up to shake their hands as they walk over to the table, They each embrace Scarlett in a hug and kiss her cheek.

"Thomas it's nice to finally meet you, we feel privileged to finally meet the secret Johannson," Anthony says to me.

"The pleasure is mine I assure you, my mother speaks highly of the both of you," I explain looking between the pair of them.

"So we have looked over your history, 4 years in the army? along with a parkour, boxing, climbing and skydiving background that you're interested in being a stuntman correct" Joe asks me.

"Yes that's correct i have been boxing since i was around 7 i think correct me if i'm wrong mother. Climbing since highschool, running and parkour are more skill and hobby i picked up with some friends back in London, and Skydiving was apart of my role within the Army." I explain to the brothers, the look over at each other and have a silent conversation.

"We want to offer you the stunting position no matter what, but we also have another suggestion. We have a role we haven't found the right actor to gel with a character we are setting up, would you be okay with auditioning with a screen read?" Anthony asks me, i struggle to keep my jaw from hitting the floor.
