Egotistic!

[Before Transition]

It's the day after the vandalisation of my car as well as the shooting of one Benjamin Parker who I've heard through the news is currently in hospital and its looking like he's going to pull through though I can't say the same thing for the rest of the Parkers, the medical bills for Ben will undoubtably be too much for them to pay, especially with Ben in the hospital now but maybe I could help with that? Anyway I'm currently in the backseat of the black limo which Earl drives when I need to got to formal occasions which is not often but Earl says that he can't be a good butler without a limo and I don't like to argue with him, we are just pulling up outside of Ludlow's Garage and I can see my trashed pink Audi R8 collapsed in the parking lot, just to say sorry to my baby I'm going to make sure that she flies when I get her fixed which shouldn't be too hard if my plan works out.

Now that the limo is parked outside the garage I make sure I have my wallet and phone and then open the door. "Hey Earl, will you be able to pick me up later or are you going to be busy?" I look at Earl and ask before I exit through the door but he doesn't deign to answer me. "Okay I guess I'll get a cab back or something see you later Earl.." So, yeah... Earls a little mad at me, mainly because today is the today I usually let him have off for whatever it is he does in his own time but I delayed his plans because of the vandalisation and he's a bit annoyed at me about it, I make Earl work quite hard keeping up with my nonsense and he gets this one time a month to head down to Westchester New York for some reason but I got him late this time. Earl works hard so I'm not gonna question what he does in his free time though I did to a little check, he didn't tell me anything about what he does on his day off but I had to make sure he wasn't working for someone else on the side or something so I made sure to follow him one time. I followed him to some coffee place in Westchester that was called 'Coffee-A-Go-Go' where he just stayed pretty much the entire day drinking coffee and talking to some old lady that worked there, I honestly didn't stick around too long as I felt that I was betraying Earls trust by following him like that.

The only reason I actually followed him was because he was a former shield agent and I couldn't help but be a little bit suspicious of him because of that though I now know that it was nonsense to be suspicious of him, Earl is a retired old man that joined shield when it was first created and got injured and then proceeded to be technical support- for lack of a better term- for the rest of his shield career and he wasn't around when Fury finally became director so it's unlikely that he would still be working for shield, if anything he might hold a grudge against them as he got a debilitating injury, was made into 'technical support' and eventually had to leave as they said he want fit enough to be a shield agent anymore and left him without any financial support whatsoever. Earl is definitely most loyal to only me under the sun and whatever he does in his spare time I trust him to not be working against my best interests, after all he has been immensely useful to me since the death of my parents and even helped me become emancipated (grease the right hands and you could get away with murder, most do).

Earl just nods at me and once I get out of the car he just drives away, he can be a real grouchy old man when he wants to be but I don't mind it too much, helps token my balanced and not a total asshole with a massive ego. Now I just have to get my new car sorted out and hopefully become friends with one Johnny Storm, hopefully he isn't as much of a douche as he is made out to be and I at least know that there is someone heroic in there so that should make this easier. I begin to walk up to the garage and pass by my facsimile of a vehicle and proceed to head further in and go into the garage and take a quick look around the place before spotting one Johnny Storm. The rest of mechanics and workers in here are either working on cars or are outside having a smoke break but Johnny here is doing something entirely different, he is talking to a woman sat at the receptionist desk and is flirting with her quite well might I add while ignoring all the other people in the building making some of the other mechanics in the garage give him dirty eyes.

See there is a reason why I made sure my Audi R8 was vandalised and not some random cat that wasn't worth much, it's because Johnny only works on cool or expensive cars that come through here which makes a lot of problems with his co-workers but he gets away with it because of the publicity he brings to the garage. He also only works on disasters, cars that look beyond repair and would be better off scrapped because apparently he likes a challenge. So today I have brought him a cool expensive Audi R8 that looks like it is wrecked beyond repair, Johnny would surely like to work his magic on it and I can't help but feel some anticipation for the work he will do on it as everyone knows that Johnny loves to work on cars and will probably give my baby a sweet upgrade. One can only hope..

I begin to make my way over to them and I overhear some of their conversation, it is honestly quite boring and it's basically Johnny trying to charm her over and the woman being angry because she slept with him and they then set up a date and he was a no show and isn't giving him another chance. I would probably be worried about this stopping him from wanting to work on my car if he hadn't already slept with her, he's already had his taster sample and is most likely to want to work on my car then try to get back into this chicks pants though I can't dismiss the possibility that he might just forgo working on my car anyway. Let's just hope that he won't see his quest for women to be more important than working on my car.. I may not have thought out his priorities correctly, I can only hope that this woman continues to reject him, I'm rooting for you receptionist lady who, now that I look and see the ring on her finger is clearly married.

I walk up and wait for a mull in there conversation before tapping him on the shoulder and interjecting. "Hey there buddy, I was wondering if you could help me out. You se-" but my words are put to a stop abruptly by the annoyed looking Johnny who turns around and interrupts me. "Listen buddy I can't sign autographs right now as I'm currently trying to win the hand of this foxy piece of ass right here so could you come back later, I'd really appreciate it."

God give me strength.. I might just end up murdering this egotistic piece of shit...
