We have this now - Peter
Alec had gotten back to the room about an hour or so before the other world closed up. It felt a little weird to be going back to a place with far less freedom and far less things to do. It was almost like choosing to go back to prison.
He pushed any of those thoughts aside. There was no time to dwell.
He was currently taking a shower, but there was a peculiar addition to the room. On Peter's bed was a little kitten that was currently pouncing at the small hills made from the bedding and bounding up and down the bed itself as if chasing some imaginary assailant.

He rolled his eyes again, this time more pointedly. "Whatever you say. You know, you should look into being a PR person if the whole superhero thing doesn't work out."

To help out May.

"I thought the superhero thing was going to be your full time thing?" He was teasing, but was actually glad to hear that. Not that he thought college was important, but at least Peter wasn't entirely focused on one thing in life.

He nodded. "Saves people by night, does... Science by day?" Alec understood the need for money, certainly. "It's why I work at Jam Pony. Apart from being able to get passed sector police, it pays."

"But now I'm trying to figure it out. I just don't know if there's going to be a normal job flexible enough for me to work it and do the Spider-Man thing." At least not without divulging his identity, and even then, it might still be a problem.

Alec didn't know if there were new types of jobs in Peter's world. "Could be a bike messenger, if they still have those. Can driver, but you'd probably be bored to tears. News reporter? If you're good at writing anyways. Couldn't you be like, Stark's secretary?" As much as Alec disliked the man.

Peter thinks about this briefly. Does Mr. Stark have a secretary right now? He's not really sure. He might not even need one.
"I think Mrs. Potts started off as his secretary," he says. At least he read that online. He in elementary school when Pepper was bumped up from secretary/personal aide to Stark CEO. "They're engaged now."

He made a vague gesture toward Peter. "See? If you play your cards right, you too, could be engaged to Tony Stark."
no subject
"I'm not interested in Mr. Stark like that," Peter blurts out. "And he's in his late 40s or something."
He takes a breath.
"I'm not sure if he'd want me to work for him anyway. I think that maybe I'd be smart enough, but... I don't know."

He rolled his eyes "you're always so quick to doubt yourself when it comes to that guy, but you'll jump into a fire or into enemy territory without thinking."
He just didn't get it.

"Your lack of faith in your normal life is astounding." He looked at Peter with a bit of a skeptical look.

"Sounds to me more like you're scared you won't measure up" Alec looked at him challengingly.

"I wouldn't work for Stark because I think he's dangerous and an asshole." The truth came out before he could temper it.
Alec paused. "I'm the wrong person to ask."
no subject
"He's not dangerous and he's not an asshole. If you met him, you'd know that," Peter says.
no subject
Alec was pretty sure him and Stark in the same room was a bad idea.
"You're on kitty litter duty." He pushed off the wall. "I'll look into making some toys or... Whatever."
