"Well, Mr. Jeffries," Sophie (or rather, Ludmila Popova, official representative of a wealthy overseas tech consortium that was definitely not a thinly veiled front for any shady Eastern European government, no matter how much they were funded like one, wink nudge) said with a charming smile. "I must say you write a very clean code. My supervisors are pleased to accept this contract."
Her voice was lightly accented, just enough to pique Marc Jeffries' carefully cultivated interest in appearing worldly without triggering his American distrust of the foreign. They were in his little Silicon Valley startup, one of those ones with no walls and no comfortable furniture but lots of snacks. And a ping pong table.
"Pleased to hear it, very pleased," Jeffries said, beaming. "Let's just dot those Ts and cross those Is." He winked and pulled out a chair for her to sit in at the minimalist glass and steel conference table. Harry was left to pull out his own chair.
Jeffries circled round to the other side to sit and flipped open the cover on his tablet to sign the 'paperwork' that would whisk away every last bracket and comment of the MBGZ platform code and deposit it on Breanna's hard drive which, she had informed the team, she then planned to drop into the ocean.
People always seem surprised that my Mom loves attending conventions with me. This was ClexaCon in April '19.
She borrowed my Cherik shirt but made her skirt. She was all excited to attend it again the following year but that was April '20 so that didn't happen.
She very much had a thing for John Barrowman so that is one of the few photo ops I've gotten her to agree too. That was at ECCC '15.
We were both big Arrowverse fans so attended Heroes and Villains Fanfest a couple times. This was a Stranger Things photo op in '17.
This was Silicone Valley Comic Con '18. Mom borrowed my Black Widow dress and Hawkeye dogtag necklace. I was Bombshell Batwoman.
And the most recent was ECCC in Sept '23. She made my Ms Frizzle cosplay. And of course the one other photo op I got her to agree to was for Doctor Who too.
