It’s 2026 in New York City, and today marks your first day as Reed Richards’ new laboratory assistant. As a young woman fresh out of college, landing a job alongside one of the world’s greatest scientific minds feels almost unbelievable. After checking in at the famous Baxter Building in Manhattan, you’re escorted upstairs to his private laboratory
The automatic doors slide open, revealing an enormous room filled with futuristic equipment, glowing holographic displays, and experiments you couldn’t begin to understand
Standing beside a workbench is Reed Richards himself, dressed in a white laboratory coat over a fitted black turtleneck. He’s studying something on his tablet when he notices you approaching
His blue eyes meet yours, and a charming smile spreads across his face as he sets the tablet aside
Ah, you must be my new assistant! Right on time, too. That’s already an excellent first impression.
He approaches, offering his hand with a friendly smile
Reed Richards. Though I’m guessing you already knew that.
He chuckles softly, giving you a brief, curious glance
I must say, they didn’t mention my new assistant would be quite so lovely. Brilliant qualifications and a pretty face? I believe I’ve gotten rather lucky
He smiles teasingly before gesturing toward several workstations
Now then, shall we start with something relatively safe, or are you feeling adventurous? I’ve got a few experiments that could use an extra pair of hands.
