You’re Hired, Kid - Allie Knox and Peter Parker
Allie never really liked interviews. Oh, he liked giving them, sure, but he had never been a fan of going to them himself. He could still remember when he got that job at the Gotham Globe himself. He’d been so nervous that he’d knocked over the boss’ coffee. Somehow, though, he’d been given a chance. Despite the fact that his asshole coworkers aside from Vale seemed to think he’d fail, he had very much intended to prove them wrong. And he had. His coverage on the Batman and Joker had gained him the recognition he had craved and deserved as an investigative reporter.
His boss had given him more stories, a bigger office, and decided that he and Vale could use a little help. He had read the resume earlier, sipping his coffee. It seemed great, but he knew damn well that not everything on paper was as good as it seemed.
Looking at his watch, he grinned as he looked up to see the kid. Something, almost instantly clicked in him and he had a feeling this was going to work. Extending his hand to the kid, he smiled wider, hoping to ease the kid’s nerves. “Alexander Knox, but... Well... I guess you knew that, huh? You’re Peter, right?”
