How they met

Jan 31, 2011 23:22

This wasn't going to be like a cheesy movie. It was just the sort of thing that happened one day. Carol was moving out west because she got a new job and her father needed her. Ivy would miss the older woman who didn't bat an eye at anything that happened in the Gotham City District Attorney's office ( Read more... )

This was Jim's third transfer since he left his birthplace. McCook, Kansas, then a short stint in Tioga, North Dakota before heading to Austin, Texas. He walking into Ivy's office, pink box and tray in hand, speaking in his normal loud, assertive voice.

"Miss Weaver? Hi, Jim Brooklynn, your new secretary. I brought coffee and donuts. I wasn't sure what you liked yet, so I just got a few sugar pucks and some sprinkled ones. I know it's clichéd, but they're damn tasty anyway."

He saw her and nodded. I'm not letting this job be like the last three. I just hope she's more like Barney and less like Mike or Greg.

Oh good she was glad that his voice was loud. It would carry well when she needed to talk to him at least. She leaned back in her seat and found herself smiling slightly.

"It's good that you're on time," she said folding her hands in front of her. "And thank you for the donuts. I'm not a picky person when it comes to food. You'll find I keep late hours and so I tend to survive off of food that I know isn't very good fr me."

She takes a deep breath. "Did they tell you that I am blind?"

"I wasn't told. I was going to guess that or 'Action Movie Star' based on the sunglasses. That's okay, I was trained for any and all disabilities. For a week I temped for a deaf loan officer. That one was interesting." His accent has a slight tinge of Texas on it, but the overtones of Kansas happen to overshadow it.

Jim grabs a glazed donut and chomps down on it. He swallows quickly, half of the donut demolished. "So, I'm your new paper pusher. Anything you need, don't hesitate to ask."

She couldn't help the small chuckle that slipped out. Normally she was fairly serious but she had decided to relax her attitude today. There was no need to be so stern.

"That's very good," Ivy said with a nod. "I didn't want to have to spend time training you myself but I was prepared."

It was obvious she had been ready for pretty much anything.
