Tony
was happy to watch the younger man for a while, enjoying seeing him
take joy in his work and see a problem with the sketch which he was
quick to correct. He hummed lightly watching him and smiled brightly as
he saw the device he was designing coming together easily.“We always strive to have the best both for out staff and for the
people who rely on the tech here at Stark Industries. We hope that you
joining us, should you succeed here, will mean we can do more to help
recover the issues that have been made through no fault of your own, but
you might be able to see ways to solve it better than some of our other
staff.” Pepper said honestly and smiled. “So far you seem to be doing
well. I haven’t seen Tony so quiet before.”Tony rolled his eyes a little and shook his head before he looked to
Carlos. “You’ve got a great mind, can be hard to get down on paper
sometimes, but yeah it’s a great place to be right now. You have a whole
future ahead of you.”
Carlos laughed softly. Silently, he agreed with Ms Potts – he hadn’t expected Mr Stark to be so… not the center of attention. In any setting, really.
“I certainly hope there is a future with this,” Carlos murmured, mostly to himself. Carlos wasn’t exactly twenty-five anymore, but he knew he probably was young in Stark’s eyes – at least in a better position for opportunities age-wise. And with the design he was working on… it would be great to see it come to life. He’d fantasized that it could be made available some time before he turned forty.
Carlos drew and most of the main parts of the chair were illustrated, so he started to write the notes on the side. He was focused on it, and as he went Carlos felt pretty good about it. Nervous, but good. Like he was doing his best.
