summary. Lucius Fox hires Bruce Wayne a new bodyguard. Her name is Sasha Bordeaux.
lucius. In a small conference room in Wayne Tower, Lucius Fox took a quiet moment to look back over the resume of one Sasha Bordeaux. He and a small group of directors shifted through many resumes over the weekend and the Board was looking to move swiftly on this -- they wanted to have someone in place and ready for when Bruce Wayne was released from the hospital. One thing that drew the directors to Sasha was her experience on secret service and her private business.
This was the second time Sasha Bordeaux was at Wayne Enterprises, the second time she has met with Lucius Fox. He was trusting his gut on this one -- and most of the Board agreed with him on this. Before he offered her the job, however, he did ask her some questions and now it was time to see if she had any herself. Lucius leaned back in his chair, his elbow propped on the arm as he looked across the narrow part of the table to Sasha. "Well, Ms. Bordeaux, do you have any questions?"
sasha. Sasha did have some questions. Well, one particularly important one, the others could probably wait. If she was going to be honest with herself, she was a little bit excited about the prospect of this job. It would be her first major break as an independent agent - she'd had a few small jobs thus far, but working as Bruce Wayne's bodyguard? This was the sort of thing she had been trained for. He might be a bit of a spoilt playboy, or so the news reports said, but that didn't mean this wouldn't be a challenge. Guarding one of the richest men in the world always would be.
"I do, thank you Mister Fox." She paused a moment to smile slightly, her glance sweeping the room before settling back on him. "I'm curious about what sort of resources I could expect to have access to. Security teams, back up, that sort of thing." Guarding one of the richest men in the world also really wasn't a one-woman job, no matter how good she was at it.
lucius. Lucius nodded. "As an employee of Wayne Enterprises, you will have access to anything you need -- Mr. Wayne's safety is very importance to us and this company. We can provide you with whatever you need to perform your job." He rubbed his jaw and inhaled deeply before continuing. "Additional security, however -- well, it will be hard enough convincing him that he needs one bodyguard, much less a team. We were hoping you would be able to make this a one-woman job."
sasha. "Oh -- I see." Sasha's mind started moving quickly, thinking about how that sort of thing would even be possible. "Mister Fox, begging your pardon, but I'm not sure how possible that would. The logistics of trying to guard a man of Mister Wayne's stature by myself..."
lucius. "Mr. Wayne... might seem a little --" Lucius searched carefully for the words regarding Bruce's public persona. "-- dimwitted and careless, but he's not impossible. The Board and I were drawn to you because of your experience and skills and are confident you can perform this job. We can revisit expanding into a team after Mr. Wayne agrees to one -- but for right now, it would just be you."
sasha. Sasha nodded, not quite trusting herself to actually... speak quite yet. Dear Lord was this going to be impossible. "I see," she replied slowly, trying to cover her consternation. It certainly would be a huge challenge. But it couldn't be impossible, right? Right.
lucius. "I plan on talking to Wayne when he is released from the hospital. If I know him at all, he will be back on the office first thing Monday. Which leads us now to the most important question -- will you take the job?" Lucius smiled.
sasha. Sasha smiled in return, straightening slightly in her chair. It was possible she was going to regret this, but... "When would you like me to start?" Here went nothing.
