somewhere inside a different light a different mind

[hacktivist]

WHO: Tony Stark (liverletdie) and Ghost (hacktivist)
WHERE: Tony's penthouse.
WHEN: Late last night, July the 2nd.
WARNINGS: Probably nothing!
SUMMARY: Tony and Ghost getting together for some after-school technical troubleshooting.
FORMAT: Quick :D



[He didn't entertain the notion he was good enough to move completely undetected through Tony's safeguards. Security was a moving target--superiority to it was a temporary thing. One thing Ghost was not was complacent.

But there were no alarms, and he hesitated in mild confusion, pondering his Illuminati-partner's motives briefly. He hadn't announced his visit, either. Their alliance of convenience was lasting--becoming something more. He was being invited in, and he was here for something beyond a personal risk he would have dreamed possible to ask Tony Stark to take.

What was worrying was how little he was worried about that.]

And you're afraid they may find a way to get in without your permission, correct?

[ He leaned forward, lacing all fingers but his indexes together, instead pressing those tip to tip, a thoughtful gesture. He'd never had the need to break Ghost's defenses, and he was sure his former enemy, and wasn't that weird to say, knew he'd never tried. It said a lot that they danced around but he didn't try to break through that particular barrier. Now he was being invited in. ]

I suppose the lesser of two evils it is. [ It was added as an afterthought, already he sent the connection request. He didn't have anything to fear, and if Ghost hadn't figured it out yet, he was certain having Tony look at his systems would inform Ghost about his powers. It wasn't just the technopathy he advertised, after all. ]

[it takes him a minute of calculation, trying to decide if this is worth it or not, and then he decides it is, and adds.] I did not say you were an evil, Stark.

The past few months have induced me to ...reconsider past affiliations.

[He's trying, so earnestly, to fight against his own nature.]

I think our time here has probably shaped us all in that respect.

[ It's an odd, albeit roundabout way of saying "yeah, same", but the sentiment is there. ]

You ready to get this started, then? I work pretty fast, think you can keep up?
