Wayne Industries, February 12th, 2004  

"Im late, so late."

DING! The elevator doors open, and out fumbling was a scrawny science worker with a Wayne employe badge clipped to his lab coat. Jervis Tetch, the badge read. Dirty blond hair, matted down, almost covering his right eye, with a few loos strands sticking out. His face was slightly sunken in with dark bags under his eyes, indicating lack of sleep. He wore a light pink dress shirt with a red bow tie, skinny black pants cuffed at the bottom with black suspenders, and lastly freshly polished, brown shoes.

"Oh- so vary, vary late." Jervis said to himself as he checked his watch, indicating he was late for his demonstration with CEO of Wayne Industries, F/N Wayne.

Jervis had worked tirelessly on perfecting the manipulation of the brain to increase its potential, and today was his day. He had hoped he wasn't to late. Jervis tried evading the taller men and woman that walked passed him but didn't notes him. They didn't notes Jervis he was short for his age and always got picked on because of it. One of the Wayne execs bump into him causing Jervis to almost trip and fall, nearly dropping his briefcase, but held on tight to the bouquet of roses. Keeping them close to his chest.

"Hey! Watch where you're going, pip squeak." The Wayne exec warns Jervis, not stopping to apologies to the short science.

"S-Sorry, sorry." Jarvis stutters out.

Jervis inhales the sweet aroma of the roses, remembering the romantic date he had last night. In Jarvis's mind it was date. Alice Carol Pleasance, a beautiful blond secretary for Wayne industries, had just broken up with her long time boyfriend. When Jarvis's found out he was ecstatic. The woman he has harbored romantic feeling for is finally his to sweep her off her feet, and that's exactly what Jervis did. Showed up at her apartment door, in his best suit and hat, and took her out for a night on the town. It was splendid, Jervis's went home after escorting Alice home with a spring to his step. As Jervis was reminiscing on last nights ventures, the sound of an annoyingly loud banshee brought him back down to planet earth.

"TETCH!"

Jervis whips his head to the side, there stood Marcia Cates, head of Wayne Industries science division. Her red lips shined in displacer. She was a stern woman who constantly berates Jervis for his mistakes any chants she got. Today her urban hair was tied up in a ponytail, showing off her slightly tanned face with. Her thin robed glasses framed her olive green eyes, that glared back at Jervis. She wore a white button up shirt, with a blue blazer and a matching pencil skirt. The sound of her black high heals clanking against the the floor, as she marched her way over to him.

"Your late, Tetch." Miss, Cates growled, her patience thin.

"W-Well I..." Jervis stutters only to be cut off.

Miss, Cates sighs. "I don't want to hear it, Tetch. Mr, Wayne and Mr, Fox are here to oversee the department's progress." She informed, getting closer to Jervis eye level, with a series look on her face. "Do not fuck this up, Tetch." She warned.

Jervis gulped. "Y-Yes ma'am." He nervously responded.

"Good. Now lets go, there waiting for us inside. Has everything for the demonstration been prepped?" Miss Cates asked, while dragging Jervis to his workshop.

Jervis nods his head in confirmation."Yes ma'am. Everything is prepped and ready to showcase." He responded evenly this time, still being dragged by Miss, Cates.

Miss, Cates nodded her head in satisfaction. "At least you managed to do one thing right." She backhanded. "And get rid of those flowers. They look ridiculous." She commanded. Dragging him throw the sliding metal doors and into the large laboratory.
