Potential Opportunities for [livejournal.com profile] farmclone

Tess is no believer in coincidences. So when one literally stumbles across a dead ringer for Clark Kent, minus the yes-ma'am-no-ma'am attitude, who has no idea who he is, one takes advantage of the circumstances.

As such, on the dot at seven she's sitting in that cozy little diner at 5th and Main, waiting for He Who Has Yet To Be Named to arrive.

"And you're just going to help me? Even though you own the lab I woke up in?" He frowns. "I don't have any money, you know. I already told you that."

"I own the company," she corrects, "which is only one among many. I don't have time to keep track of everything myself, especially when this particular one appeared worthless on paper."

Tess removes her hand from his and settles back in her chair. "Yes, I'm just going to help you. No money required."

He's still suspicious. "Are you gonna ask me for favors or something later?"

Tess smiles. "Well, we know you're smart at least, don't we." Rhetorical question, that.

"Honestly? I might. I might not. I really just want to make sure you're not going to throw a wrench into plans I already have in place, intentionally or otherwise."

He narrows his eyes at her. "I'm not promising you anything. Not without knowing exactly what I'm getting into."

"I'm not asking you to. You can disappear into the wind after you've got what information I can find." Tess shrugs. "You can disappear now, if you'd like. I'm not going to stop you." She also doubts she could even if she wanted to. "I'm just being honest."

He could, and he kind of wants to, but... she could help him. "Okay. Then yeah, it'd be nice if you could help me. Please."

"I'll tell you what. I give you my card and you take a few days to really think it over."

She studies him again. "Do you have a place to stay?"

"Yeah." Maybe. He could find somewhere, at least. He doesn't trust Tess, despite the promised help.

"All right. I was only going to suggest a motel if you didn't." Tess slides her card across the table toward him. "That's my business and private lines. Feel free to call me anytime you like."

"Thanks." Conner takes the card and stands up. "It was, uh, interesting meeting you."

Tess waves for him to sit back down, rising instead from her own chair. "Stay and have some dinner. It's been taken care of."

As she passes him on her way out she stops, briefly. "I hope to hear from you soon."

He hesitates, then sits back down. He is hungry, after all. "Yeah, thanks," he mutters, picking the menu back up.
