"Ah, I love this place." Victor mumbled as he got out of his car, and began walking towards the front door of the company.

Recent high school graduates aren't usually allowed as an employee at STAR Labs, but Silas and Elinore made it happen.

Victor walked in the front door and saw his dad and mom waiting for him inside.

"Victor!" Elinore said as she walked up to him and gave him a big hug. "I missed you!"

"Mom, it's been a day!" Victor replied as he chuckled.

"Hello, Son." Silas said as he walked and gave his son a light hug.

"Hey, dad." Victor said a she hugged him back.

"You ready?" Silas asked.

"I was born ready." Victor replied.

"Alright! Let's get to it!" Silas replied as they all began walking towards the main labs.

"What will we be doing today, dad?" Victor asked.

"We're working on a bomb." Silas replied.

"A bomb?!" Victor asked, shocked.

"Relax, Victor." Elinore started. "The Government came to us about this."

"Really?" Victor asked.

"Yes." Silas began. "Don't worry, Victor. It isn't that huge of a bomb anyways. Only about a city block."

"Okay. As long as you know what you're doing." Victor replied.

"We do, Vic. Let's go." Elinore said as they all walked in to the main lab, grabbed a lab coat, and walked into the large containment room containing the bomb.

"That's the bomb?" Victor asked in slight disappointment.

"Yes, that's it." Elinore replied.

"This is only the first draft though, Victor." Silas began. "There will be a more polished, advanced version once we prove that this one works and is efficient."

"That sounds good, I guess." Victor replied.

"Let's get to it. It's almost done." Elinore said.

They all stood around the bomb.

"This is incredible!" Victor exclaimed.

"Thank you Victor." Silas replied.

"You guys did all of this?" Victor asked.

"Yep! All of it." Elinore replied.

"Nice!" Victor replied. "Can I ever come in and work on it myself?"

"Absolutely not." Silas replied.

"No?" Victor asked, slightly defensive.

"No. You will never come anywhere near this bomb alone. Got it?" Silas said.

"Okay, okay! I got it." Victor replied.
