{this thread is manly to introduce Alexander Frost and should be just for him, sparrow, dark claw, and Julian hardy(pending application and approval) but after a short while where things are established you all can join in as you please}
On a bright sunny day near just past noon, a white maserati quarttoporte pulled into the parking lot of Logan inc. a man in a silver-white 3 piece suit got out of the car, he looked at the shimmering office building for a moment and walked in.
"I'm here to speak to mr. Howlett, about a business offer." The man spoke coldly to the receptionist. "may i tell him who it is?" she asked looking the man over. "Frost, tell him Alexander Frost is here to see him", [no matter his response let me through] He commanded the former verbally the latter telepathically.
"ok mr. Frost I'll inform mr. Howlett you are on your way." the receptionist said as he buzzed him towards the executive elevator that would take him to the floor of executive offices.
Alexander Frost made his way into the elevator, he then pressed a button and the doors closed

The door opened and Logan was there to great him wearing a light gray polo shirt and a pair of khaki dress pants, "Alexander Frost. I wasn't actually expecting you and yet you're here. I was in the middle of painting so... to what do I owe the pleasure."

" Pleasure is all mine, and I'm to discuss a business deal with you. That may sound alarming considering my reputation, but hear me out" Alexander said as began telepathically scanning Logan and every near by mind. "As is common knowledge i started out in tech, and like you I am very hands about my R&D, lately Lexcomp has been struggling and it has the board at Frost International worried that we are being left behind in the home and mobile electronics market. I want you and I to work together." Alexander spoke looking into Logan's eye gauging him.

There was a unusual hum when Alexander tried to scan, the room was shielded against telepaths somehow, "Not interested." Logan said politely.

There was a unusual hum when Alexander tried to scan, the room was shielded against telepaths somehow, "Not interested." Logan said politely. Alexander's expression became even more serious than normal, in response to his telepathy failing and Logan's response. "I urge you to reconsider i know we can do great work together perhaps take market share from apple and google. And in any case I'm sure you know i have my ways. I'm reasonably certain you are privy to the fact that i have a consortium aggressively buying all available Logan inc stock and that as it stands about 13% of your company is owned by said consortium. Logan you are a great mind and a marketable face, name and personality i want you with me and I can make it favorable for you imagine being able to use and work with all of Frost International's resources, but if it comes to it this can be done the hard way" Lex spoke staring at Logan waiting for his next move. |

"Not... Interested." Logan said walking away from the elevator to his penthouse, "You do know the meanings of those words right Mr. Frost?"

"fine then, may I take you for a drink later" Frost offered the clearly annoyed Logan. "To show you I'm not a complete jerk?" softening his expression to be more convincing |

"You want to have a drink, we can do it here." Logan walked over to a fridge and took out two Canadian beers handing one to Lex, "Here. But you're not going to convince me."

Lex took the beer and sipped from it grimacing when Logan wasn't looking. Lex believes beer is disgusting and beneath him.
"I dont reasonably believe, I'm going to convince you to hand your company over to me. That isn't my goal here. I want to collaborate with you. Agree to work in concert I have ideas you have ideas, And I believe together we can move technology forward. I know most of the real advancements in technology originate in defense and in that people like wayne and stark have us beat. But i think we can do great things." Lex made his best pitch.

"Mr. Frost, you seem to think I want to become some sort of world-class billionaire. I started LOGAN inc, to help fund my art. For that, it works." Logan said calmly, "It's why I'm not interested. You don't want to take my company from me, you want to make it a full time job rather than a hobby."

Jubilee came through the front door with various bags in her arms while munching on the rest of her mall pretzel. Old habits die hard. "Heyy old man! I got you this pretzel that has peperoni on it. PEPPERONI. It's like a pizza and pretzel at the same time it will blow your mind oh. Sorry dude I only brought one extra."
She looked to Mr. Frost. Jubilee was wearing a pair of large modern pink sunglasses, with a ripped up black tank top, yellow pleated plaid skirt, and layered thigh highs with blue doc martens.

Jubilee was wearing a pair of large modern pink sunglasses, with a ripped up black tank top, yellow pleated plaid skirt, and layered thigh highs with blue doc martens. Alexander looked over Jubilee and responded to her "It's fine, miss" "Alexander Frost pleasure to meet you" He smiled and introduced himself with a smile and subtle "look". Then Lex turned his attention back to Logan "What i want [is to take over the world] is work with you and take advantage of you innovative brilliance. I have been working on tech that would interface directly with people's minds. buttons and controllers have given way to touch screens and motion control, i believe the next stop is to cut out the middle man entirely control your phone tv game system etc with your mind with your thoughts. do i have your attention now?" |

Jubilee made a face at his proposition and put her bags to the side, waiting to hear Logan's response.

"Okay then Lex, let's put our cards on the table. I don't like you, I don't like your corporation. You are what's wrong with the corporate mindset. You care about profit, not the people." Logan said and then finished off his beer. He got up to get another and then added, "Jubilation, go ahead and put all that in your room. I'll finish with Mr. Frost here."[/color[

Lex gave his card to Jubilation, "perhaps when I'm done here I could take you to dinner" He smiled at her "call me".
"Mr. Howlett that hurts my feelings. I know my reputation and that i run a giant corporation. But I am not some sort of monster because of it. I do care about people it is my goal to help world. I believe you have misjudged me despite my tactics in the boardroom I am not some heartless monster. and by the way its Alexander, our friendship is not such where you can call me Lex" Lex spoke in a voice approaching annoyed.

Logan grabbed the card from Jubilee and gave her the look that meant 'No', "That may be true, Mr. Frost. But at the same time, you and I have different goals. And I don't think we can come to a compromise."

"I will give you this you this you have better taste in protégé than Bruce Wayne, Well i wont stand here and bash a brick wall I'll give you time to think and contemplate we'll be in touch. When is the next share holder's meeting?"Lex turned to walk out and stop "Miss Jubilation I hope to be in touch with you soon" |

Jubilee laughed a bit nervously, as she felt like she was thrust into the middle of something she didn't entirely understand. "Riiight...SO! I'll just put my things into my bedroom."
