"Are you crazy ?"
Cal crossed his arms over his chest, and regarded the woman coolly. “No, I’m ambitious. There’s a difference. Tell me, stranger, are you crazy?”
"Probably." She rolled her shoulders and shifted a bit before speaking again, her lips upturned at the corners "Although it seems that there’s a very thin line between ambition and insanity."
He chuckled. "You may have a point there." He held out his hand. "I'm Cal, by the way."
"Are you crazy ?"
Cal crossed his arms over his chest, and regarded the woman coolly. "No, I'm ambitious. There's a difference. Tell me, stranger, are you crazy?"

He raised his brows a bit at the delayed ‘sir’ but let it go, putting it down to shoddy American manners. “And do you go by Simon?” He turned back to his computer and pulled up the email from M.
From: M Subject: New Recruit Message:
Q, hired you a young engineer. Sending him down now. -M
He glared at it. Would it have killed M to give him more than ten minutes notice? Irritably he pulled up young Mr. Callahan’s credentials and skimmed them quickly, eyes flashing across the screen. Admittedly, they were impressive. And he was in need of a robotics expert, presumably why M had found him.
He shook his head. "No sir, I go by Cal." He glanced around the room, taking in all of the details of the office. He wondered if he would be getting his own work room for...whatever it was he was going to be building. He wouldn't be able to work with all of these other people around.
"What exactly am I going to be developing for you guys here?"

Q sighed and stopped what he was doing. He knew if he tried to deal with this while working on his code he would be far more likely to make a mistake. So he turned to look at the young man. “Excuse me?” He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed again. The kid was American, which meant he had to have been recruited. He’d probably just come from meeting with M. Which meant he probably had an email waiting for him. “Name?”
"C-" He shook his head. "Um, Simon Callahan...sir." The sir was a bit forced, he'd have to try harder. After being away from the company for a few years, it was taking Cal a bit to remember his manners, and how to pander to higher ups.
"I was recruited earlier this week. I'm an engineer, a robotics expert."

"Whatever it is that you need can wait a minute." He said without taking his eyes off his screen. "Unless you’re the one I sent for tea, in which case hand it over." It had been a long few days at the office. Q hadn’t had more than about six hours of sleep in seventy-two hours and it was beginning to wear on his patience.
If Cal had any doubts about this new job he was recruited for, they were confirmed when the man staring at the computer spoke. This was supposed to be the man in charge, but he didn't seem to have any idea as to what was going on.
Cal cleared his throat, and crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm not the person with your tea, but I am the person who was just hired to work in this department."

Cal stiffened momentarily before hugging her back. “Well…this is a bit of a surprise. Is something going on, Ava?”
"It’s a best friend necklace! This way we’ll always remember who our best friend is. And that no matter how much we yell or fight we’ll remember how much we care about each other."
He smiled and pulled Ava in for another hug. "Thank you Ava. It's...the best present I've ever gotten."

Cal stiffened momentarily before hugging her back. “Well…this is a bit of a surprise. Is something going on, Ava?”
"Oh it’s just a little something I thought you needed." She gestured at the box. "Go on, open it!" She said, bouncing a little.
He laughed slightly and opened the box. "What...is it?"

Cal stiffened momentarily before hugging her back. “Well…this is a bit of a surprise. Is something going on, Ava?”
"No, well yes, I mean, not really but kind of." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a little box. "I got you something."
He frowned, taking the box. "What's this for, Ava? It's not my birthday or anything..."

Sentence Starters { Protective Version }
"Watch out!"
"You could have been killed!"
"Run! Hurry up, go!"
"Save yourself, I’ll hold them back."
"Leave me here! Go! Hurry! I can handle it."
"I promise I’ll make sure they don’t hurt you."
"They better not have laid a damn finger on you or I’ll [insert threat]."
"I swear, if they so much as breathe next to you, I’ll knock them out.”
"I’m not leaving you here!"
"And let you get yourself killed?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"I don’t trust him/her. They seem off."
"I’m saying this for your own good!"
"Don’t worry. I’ll protect you."
"I don’t want to lose you! You’re all I have left!"

She threw her arms up in exasperation. “Oh right, it’s not safe. Of course it’s not safe! The world isn’t safe for anyone. But that doesn’t stop people from living! And it’s not going to stop me either!” She said with a huff. She grabbed her jacket and stormed out. Slamming the door, she headed back out into the city.
"Ava! Ava stop, please!" He shouted for her, but didn't chase after, there was no point, it wasn't like she would listen to him anyway. He could get her to stop by calling out her shutdown code, but he would never do that. Cal just had to let her go.
Hopefully she would come back soon.

Ava was livid. “What is the big deal? So I was a little late! I was interacting with people! It’s what I do! What you programmed me to do! Should I just keep my head down? My eyes averted? Never talk to anyone but you? Is that what you want? Well I’ve got news for you, Cal. I can’t live like that!”
He sighed and pinched the bridge of is nose. "Of course that's not what I'm saying, Ava. I just..." He paused, picking his words carefully. "want you to be sure that you are...interacting with the right people. It's not safe out there."
He was afraid of Ava getting snatched up, sold for parts, just destroyed. It could happen, but he didn't want to scare her. "It's not that I want your company all to myself, not at all."
"I can't sleep..."
"The nightmares again? I hear you cry out sometimes, in the middle of the night."
"Annoying? No. No, don’t be sorry. It’s fine. It’s not like it wakes me up or anything. It just- I’m worried about you."
"You shouldn't be worried about me, Ava...I'm fine."
"I can't sleep..."
"The nightmares again? I hear you cry out sometimes, in the middle of the night."
Cal frowned, leaning up against the counter. "You do? Sorry about that it...it must...get annoying."
