Recovering from the largest hangover he's had to date Quentin groaned as he lied over the side of his mattress. His head on the floor staring upside down at his walls. The numbness was wearing off as all the emotions he felt hit him like a bus. Frustration, anger, betrayal, sadness, realization.. it all hit him, drowning him.

All he wanted was to be respected and seen. Why didn't he deserve that? It wasn't fair. Stark got everything handed to him on a silver platter and if that wasn't enough now he was Iron Man and an Aven-...ger. Then he got a thought. A very clever thought. A clever enough thought that he pondered on for what seemed like ten minutes straight before texting William his plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quentin didn't give away all his ideas but he spilled a bit to Riva and thankfully he was on board. The man parked his BMW in front of the apartment complex before making his way to the room that William had told him. He knocked on the door and his new business partner smiled at him as he opened it and allowed him to come inside. His place was nice, much nicer than Quentin's who he really couldn't even consider a house or a home. William pulled him up a chair to the table in front of the laptop before their conversating began.

"Okay so what were the details you left out?" Ginter asked.

Quentin swallowed before turning to face the man, talking with his hands. "What if we made a fake super hero?"

"A fake super hero?"

"Right!" He exclaimed. "A super hero that would be real to the public eye but fake behind the scenes."

"I think I get what you're saying but just in case can you go into more detail?"

Quentin explained about how they could fake this with technology and smart planning. How they could mix the most popular Avengers into one and create a new public figure. One that could even be better than the originals. How they could even bring together a team to make it all possible and that way they could separate themselves from Stark Industries and be attached to this new thing. Getting the justice they deserve. 

William shook his head in understanding as Quentin explained but there were a few questions he had to which he waited till he was done before asking. "That sounds great but where would we get that kind of technology?"

"If you get me the supplies and a place to work I can make it. I made it before.. before Stark stole it." He grumbled. "I worked basically my whole life on it but I know how I did it so it should take me a year at most to finish it up."

"I suppose that could work if you truly know what you're doing." The older man replied. "What about a team? Do we just advertise it on the streets or what?"

Quentin thought hard about this. He and William had bonded over the mistreatment of their former boss Tony Stark.. what's not to say that there were more people like them? Wanting justice and revenge for their treatment? Yeah.. yeah.

"We could round up a bunch of ex employees and propose this idea to them. If we have enough we can all work together to construct where I'm staying currently and turn it into a workshop."

"That's... not a bad idea at all actually.. but where would we find these people? What if they don't agree?"

"Think of how big Stark Industries is. We are two people who want justice for how we were treated.. do you really think people would turn down an opportunity like this? Would you take it if it was proposed to you? I know I would."

The ex employee thought about it before nodding his head. "Okay Beck. You seem to know what you're doing and frankly you'd be a nicer boss than Stark ever was so. How do we begin?"

"Not boss," Quentin interrupted. "We'd be partners."

"Even better."

The two sat at the table and talked more about this huge idea. Quentin talked while William wrote it all down. He was amazed at the man's ideas. They were insane but they weren't too insane that they were downright impossible. If this worked justice truly would be served.

The ex engineer hacked his way into the Stark Industries database to find out who was terminated and who still worked. They found quite a few people who Quentin had never even heard of or seen when he worked there and that thought was crazy to him to think about how many people Stark had been mistreating right under his nose. He found William's info and even his own and he was boiling that he was known as an assistant. Ignoring it as best he could he found quite a few people; Victoria Snow, Susanne Hunt, , Chucks Roos, Gutes Guterman, Trent Gutierrez, Janice Lincoln, Jelica Gai, Shanice, Doug and more.

Once they had found about twenty or more people they began contacting them. Sending them messages on their social medias or emailing them about the project. Next they continued talking until they called it quits for the night and Quentin left to go 'home'. If this worked he was a genius. The world would finally be able to see the true mind of Quentin Dean Beck.
