Hunter walked through the campus grounds, having just given a speech to one of the business classes. It wasn't unusual for men like him to have to step in and give speeches here or in other colleges. As he walked he grabbed a black cigarillo and lit it, letting it rest in his lips.
"Stupid kids. They lack the drive that I and others like me have. It's almost pathetic to think they want to open their own business."
He laughed and exhaled, shaking his head. He knew over half would end up working for him in entry level jobs before they either quit, got fired or met a bad 'accident'. It happened to almost every business major he hired out of college. As he walked he nodded his head to a sorority that was walking by causing them to burst out into a fit of giggles.
"Always fun."

There was another person walking across the grounds of the Columbia University, she looked like she could be a sorority girl, if not for the hammer hanging from her hip and the very special rings on her fingers. Anyone who was in the know would know what they were, and to have so many? It was almost unheard of. Feet moving with purpose brought her straight in the direction of Hunter Romuluson. She knew precisely who he was. The machines....they spoke to her, told her things. She needed connections on this world, establish a foothold, and this gentleman was someone who could help her.
"Hunter Romuluson." She said it to get his attention more then anything else, as if the sight of her walking straight towards you wouldn't earn your attention anyway. "I am Teirdys, and we can assist each other greatly." she informed, her face suggested she was very serious and most certainly not interested in the word "no."

He stopped when he heard a woman say his name. He raised an eyebrow at her comment, clearly a woman with purpose. He actually like that. She was simple and to the point and got there quickly. Her took a drag off his cigarillo as he looked her up and down. She seemed normal, aside from Mjolnir and all the rings. The hammer he recognized but the rings, while familiar, didn't ring a bell.
"Oh I think we can help each other out greatly. However I'm sure you and I have different ideas as to how that would work."
He said with a smirk and a wink. He then resumed walking and walked right past her.
"But come, we can discuss both matters in my limo."

The beginning of his initial statement was a positive point, he agreed they could help each other. Of course they could. Although when he noted that their ideas of helping each other would be different, Teirdys raised an eyebrow. Who was this human to argue with her logic? Typical it would make it more awkward then it would need to be. Regardless, he at least provided a place where they could discuss in private. He operated in shadows, that was fine.
A sharp heel turned on the spot as she went to follow him to his limo. Cars and what not were an often used method of discussing information in private on Earth, she had no fear of speaking in the open, but he was far more squishy then she was. It was in his interest to remain anonymous. "I assume the vehicle is secure?" Even as she asked she was analyzing it for anti-psionic devices and noise proofing. Some eager hero with a talent for listening in could cause her to move her plans ahead in a manner she would rather avoid.

As the driver opened the door Hunter turned around and looked at Teirdys, insulted and even a little disgusted.
"How dare you even ask such a thing. This is not my first meeting that may have never happened."
He slid to the other side of the cabin, the cigarillo still in his lips. He motioned to the seat for her before grabbing a glass of bourbon and taking a sip. When he knew it was all secure he nodded his head.
"Sound proof, psy-shielding and can emit several EMP pulses in a two mile radius without damaging the car. So yes, the limo is safe."
After she got in the door was closed and he heard the limo start up. He leaned back and took her in. She seemed like the typical woman he kicked out of his apartment, hotel or penthouse on a nightly basis but he knew she was different than that.
"Now we need to remedy one situation immediately. You know my name but I am at a disadvantage. I don't like being at a disadvantage."
He said, his voice and face taking a stern look as his eyes flashed black for a split second.

"Those who dare win." she snapped back when he made that stupid little insulted face. An Earth phrase as it would happen and one she was rather fond of. How dare he question what she would do? What was he next to her? A minor resource. It would take less effort then a thought to disintegrate him. That being said, he was a resource and one that having would make her long term goal easier.
When the door was opened she slid in, legs crossed on the leather seat. One soft handed rested on her knee, the other hand rested atop that. "I am Teirdys and I am power." his little black eye bit was not impressing her. "If that was designed to intimidate or impress me, I assure you should this encounter escalate into violence the chances of you achieving victory are so statistically negligible they are worth ignoring." One of her hands came up, the back of her hand facing him and her fingers extended to put her rings on display. "Your energy projecting capabilities are out performed by just one of these rings. Learn your place, for we are not equals." She put her hand down, returning it to atop her other hand. "That being said, your services would in the long term will ultimately get you far more then your part in my plans will get me. But being a dominant alpha male you'll want the illusion of equality or perhaps even superiority in our arrangement. You are smart and you've achieved a great deal in your life. You don't see why that should change because I've strolled onto the scene. So I imagine you'll want to tell me how you believe this will work. By all means, proceed." Once this inferior lifeform had dictated his plan she could proceed to provide her superior logics. Unless he was to, which would surprise her, simply accept the fact that her way of doing things was clearly the best way.

She was arrogant, something he actually respected. However she did need to learn her place. Otherwise this partnership wouldn't ever work. However something told him that she didn't particularly care. Although Hunter was a master of these kind of meetings. He sat back and examined her. The rings were impressive, how she obtained so many was very interesting. He noticed Mjolnir on her side as he took a drag of his cigarillo.
"While I do admire your confidence and arrogance there is a small matter of the fact you came to me for my assistance."
He said with a smirk. He knew exactly where the limo was going, anytime this came up the driver knew where to go.
"And just because you have some fancy rings and Mjolnir doesn't mean I'm as out matched as you'd like to believe. I have a lot of power that most haven't ever seen. But enough of who's in charge or whatever. First I need to know what your goal and your master plan is and how I fit in to it."
