Peacock vc: I can't believe you seduced Harold Assiter with your ankles

“And here I thought we had a deal that you would never spill that secret.”

[hyperionsvicepresident]

“People wonder how I became Vice President. Well...Let’s just say, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

[hyperionsvicepresident]

“Ayyy Blake! What’s shakin’ bacon?”

“Ah, hello sir.”

“So far…So good. Just had to threaten a couple employees for not bringing in their reports on time. But that’s being dealt with. How has your day been sir ?”

[andbrokehiscrxwn-deactivated202]

“S’been alright…Insofar as office work goes.

—and good on ya for showing the lackeys how we do things here.”

[hyperionsvicepresident]

It wasn’t often that Blake got compliments from his boss, so this was actually pretty nice. Ofcourse it was always fun to scare the shit out of Hyperion workers, but getting complimented for it made it so much better. A devilish grin appeared on his face as he spoke up again. “Why thank you sir. It’s always fun to threaten them. Especially when I tell them that they are offending you.”

His grin grew even wider. “The way to start to cry to now yell you how they fucked up is amazing.” The older man replied. “How has your Vault Hunter problem going sir ? Any closer to get rid of them ?”

[andbrokehiscrxwn-deactivated202]

This guy. This guy right here. Blake is Vice President for a reason. He may be an ass kisser, but he does it well. Well enough to get a genuine smile out of Jack, cruel though it may be.

That amused smile drops abruptly at the mention of the hired gunners who have consistently been a pain in his ass.

“Not yet, unfortunately. Going after em’ all at once hasn’t worked so right now I’m going for a divide and conquer strategy.”

Jack licks his teeth, thoughts darkening as he reflects on his recent…encounter with a certain masked assassin.

[hyperionsvicepresident]

As soon as the smile on Jack’s face dropped, the vice president knew that this wasn’t the best question to ask. The CEO had told him many times that the Vault Hunters would be gone sooner then later. Apparently this wasn’t the case this time.

He waited until his boss was done before he spoke up again. “Indeed. That might be a better plan sir. I think you can pull it of.” He calmly replied as to not upset Jack. So far his day had been great and he didn’t want to be yelled at by his boss.

“If you need my help with anything. You know where to find me. I’ll make sure that all their files will be up to date for you to use for research.”

[hyperionsvicepresident]

"Greetings, consumer."

“Well if it isn’t out little band of corporate raiders.”

Sweep me off my feet || @hyperionsvicepresident

It’d started off with something simple — - an innocuous joke of a challenge that Jack couldn’t have ever prepared himself for his sullen, austere vice president to step up to. Somehow, the idea of employee vacation days had been brought up between them, if for anything but for Jack to get a good laugh out of the notion. As far as Jack was aware, Blake hadn’t had a day off since before he took charge, and the idea of him having a life outside of the company seemed ludicrous to the CEO, given his employee’s disposition.

Thus, a proposition Jack had made entirely in jest. 

‘Tell ya’ what, Blake. If you can pick me up, I’ll let’cha have the week off.’

Never could he have imagined his vice president to be this starved for time off. Blake was a man on a mission, and with a fire quite unlike any other he’d ever seen in his elder’s eyes, he’d advanced — -

No. Jack couldn’t help the way a grin threatened to curve his lips. He couldn’t be serious.

Alas, it wasn’t long before Jack was encapsulated in bony arms, and as his feet left the ground, Jack could only wonder how the absolute HELL this twig of a man could’ve managed to lift ANYTHING, let alone HIM.

Being proven wrong was normally ample excuse to trigger his rage, but this? With Blake managing to genuinely shock Jack? He was left in hysterics.

      ❝― Okay, seriously — what — -  HOW the hell are you doing this? Holy SHIT!❞

The sheer disbelief of it all had Jack almost considering following through with allowing Blake his well-deserved time off. 

Almost.

"Well hello there. I expect you heard of me, so I ain't gonna bother with an intro. Can't say I know too many of you corporate types. I expect none of you are too keen on me, but hey, people rarely are. But I figured I should get into the whole corporate networking thing, so hell, maybe I will introduce myself. Name's Nisha, blah blah blah. Like I said, you know who I am. And who might you be?"

Blake looked at the woman as she spoke to him. Clearly she was trying to set the tone here. She was very confident he had to give her that. The vice president knew it would be a bit of struggle to ask her for a favor, but here he was anyways. 

When she was done ‘introducing’ herself, the older man fianlly spoke up. “First of all Miss Kadam, Ofcourse I already know you. I have done my research.” He commented “But I am a gentleman ofcourse so I will introduce myself. Mr.Blake, Vice President of the Hyperion corporation, a please to meet you Miss. I’m glad to hear you want to get involved in this ‘corporate networking’ as you called it. Shall we have a talk about all of this.”

[hyperionsvicepresident]

"Grampy Blakey!" Angel giggled as she ran forwards, hugging the elder man's leg. The small six year old was overjoyed to see him, even running across half the space station just to find him. She had an army of staff members and security men trailing after her as if they had all tried and failed to capture the small brunette. He was quickly met with a barrage of out of breath apologies from overworked help who had failed to stop the little hell-cat from clawing her way up the many floors to him.

When the vice president heard the little girls voice, he had turned around. Before he could process who it was, the tiny girl had start hugging his leg. For a man who didn’t laugh often, Angel always made him chuckle just a little bit. “Hello there young lady.” He replied as he watched her, still hugging his leg. “How did you find me all the way over here ?” 

Before she could answer him, Blake looked up and saw the horde running up to him. He bend down to pick up Angel and listen to their worthless apologies. His old expression had returned as they had ruined his mood already. “Well gentlemen…This is pretty pathetic isn’t it ? You couldn’t even catch a little girl. Normally I would have kicked you all down to Pandora for some hard labour. But…” He said as he looked at Angel “I’m in a good mood today. Go back to your offices and pray to whatever god you may pray to that I won’t downgrade all of you back to become janitors. Now leave.”

“Oh! Yeah s-sorry!” The girl giggled softly and let the kitty down. The cat gave out a low ‘meow’ in what was probably a ‘thanks’ in cat-talk. With that she watched Blake stride back to his desk and return with a brush. The girl gasped, her eyes sparkling like there was full on nebular in those big blue eyes on their own. Angel squealed and ran over, coming to a halt at Blake’s legs to curiously take the brush from his hands and look at it in wonder.

“Coooool kay!” The girl took off again with all the boundless energy of a terrier.

Angel giggled and laid down on the floor next to the cat who was more inclined to look out the huge window then pay the girl any mind. She giggled and starting combing his fluffy fur, gaining happy purrs once again from the tubby cat lounging by the window. For now she was content, laying there with the cat she loved and singing a silly little song she must’ve come up with right there on the spot.

“Cute kitty, warm kitty!

Little ball of fuuuurrrr

Happy kitty, silly kitty

purr purr purr!”

Blake watched as his cat found a nice spot infront of his large window, before returnin his attention back to the little girl. Glad she liked his idea, he watched as she took the brush out of his hands and skipped back over to Napoleon. The little song she was singing while she was spoiling his cat, forced such a bright smile on his face that his cheeks started to hurt. The Vice President didn’t smile often. Only for the little Angel, only for her. The only person who was allowed to see his weaker sides. “Oh look at that. I think Napoleon is really happy right now. You’re doing a great job dear.” The old man replied as he grabbed his ECHO. 

“Now I’ll be right back. I’m going to give your father a call. I’ll be in the room next door if you need me dear.” Blake told her as he made his way to the room adjacent to his office. It was a small room with just filled with papers and cabinets. The perfect place where he could enjoy a smoke and talk to Jack. 

With a sigaret in his hand he looked for Jack’s number. Just as he expected he got a very angry CEO yelling at him from the otherside. Good thing he was in another room, hopefully Angel didnt her his yelling. After listening to Jack scream at him for 2 minutes, he started to explain that his child was safe with him. Hopefully he would listen.

"I think you're the best Grandpa in the world."

“I think you’re…” || accepting

These words made his cold heart feel a little warmer…Just for a moment. 

“Thank you so much Angel. I wouldn’t have wished for a better grandchild.” Blake replied, giving her his best attemped at a warm smile. 

[collectingmemes-blog]

"I think you're..."

Finish the sentence in my ask. “I think you’re compensating for something.” “I think you’re sweet.” Etc.

@hyperionsvicepresident​

“Mr. Blake, can I ask you a question?”

With Jack busy running Hyperion, Nisha having an emergency in Lynchwood that needed her immediate attention, and Elisa trying reign in her ‘brother’.  It wasn’t abnormal for Violet to be sent to the vice president. 

Assuming she got the go ahead, the seven year old looked up from the book of old Earth fables Aunt Elisa had gotten her.

“Do you know why Daddy has a funny face?”

[hyperionsvicepresident]

And once again Jack and Nisha had to rush of to do something other then watching their child. Not that he didn’t mind. Unlike her parents, Violet was actually a pretty good girl. How that was even possible ? Who knows. Maybe it had something to do with her other babysitter.

When the young girl asked a question, he simply nodded. His was busy with some important papers for her father. But when he heard the question, he looked up. That was a pretty big question...Which he didn’t have a propper answer for.

“Uhm...” The vice president began “I actually don’t know Violet. Your dad never told me why he wears a mask.”

[livio-the-doublefang]

“Are you oke dear ? Do you need a hug ?” Blake said, with somewhat of a warm smile. [ hyperionsvicepresident ]

“B-Blake?” Angel choked out through her tears.

The girl fumbled forwards before throwing her small body against his taller, lankier one, hugging him around his waist and burying her face against her ‘grandpa’’s suit jacket. She clutched to him needily, her fingers curling into the jacket with all the desperation of a girl needing an anchor to just keep herself steady.

“Yeah…Yeah I do.” Came her muffled mumble.

@hyperionsvicepresident

[hyperionsvicepresident]

Blake quickly wrapped his arms around the girl who had almost thrown herself against him. Who dared to send her this awful message ? He started to softly stroke her back, trying to calm her down a little. He held her close to his skinny body and he listened to her.

“Well I’m here for you Angel.” He replied. “And don’t you worry. Me and your father will find out who send this afwul message. We’ll deal with them...They will never do this again” Blake added.
