    "But perhaps over dinner tomorrow?”

    “If you are soliciting donations for a charitable cause, you’ll have to make an appointment with my assistant. Though for international efforts that’s really the Foundation’s corner, but I can put you in touch with my brother. Investments and industrial orders are the other brother.”

    This time, his mouth actually curved into a proper smile. "I was attempting to ask you on a date."

You will receive orders from above if and when we choose to deploy you, and those are the only times you will act. We will decide who goes on missions. The activities and locations of dangerous individuals will be monitored at all times, and we will maintain a registry of enhanced persons."

    Noah pulled his phone away from his ear and stared at it. "Oh, God, what have I done?"

    "Near as I can tell, you told your mother you had a fictional girlfriend to get her to stop trying to set you up with someone, and she was so excited she hung up on you to tell your grandmother." Annie waved her phone. "But I was super busy playing Smashy Brick so I can't be sure."

    He sighed. "I'm going to have to hire a girlfriend."
