Michael Hannigan has posed:
Shaw Studios is experiencing a quiet day. Not many bookings have landed on Valentine's Day and a Sunday on top of that, it will likely continue to be a quiet day. Until the agency provides a new weekend guard, Larry is back at his post, monitoring the main door and eyeing the bowl of individually wrapped hard candies at the main desk.

Upstairs in Wade's office, a man sits. Bent over to where his head is hidden from view of the open doorway while he rifles through the half file cabinet that's part of the desk. Off to the side a phone has the speaker light blinking.

The man sits up, grumbling as he looks to the phone. "You sure it's in the bottom drawer, Wade?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn hasn't visited Mike in a long time, but now is a good time as ever to catch up on stuff and hey, maybe he can help her too! She steps up to the studio, peeking in before opening the door. She pauses at the security and steps to the desk. "Hii..Is Mike Hannigan in? I know this is last minute, but I need to talk to him, it's important.."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Larry glances over to Megan. "He might." He replies back, picking up a clipboard, skimming through it. "I'm assuming there is no appointment so we'll need to get you to sign yourself in and call up." He slides an open binder over to Megan. "Please bear with us. We had to implement a new security policy so we're getting the kinks out. You can go ahead and fill out your information while I make the call." He sets the pen down, smiling. "Like the hair." He offers in compliment before moving over to a phone. Lifting up the receiver and hitting a few buttons.

"Maybe I misfiled it... Well, if it's not in the bottom drawer, then its in the top one. The folder should be labeled so just read through the names."

Mike gives a slow nod before another flash of light on the phone display makes him glance over. "Uh looks like I got a call from downstairs."

"Hmm. Well, just let me go and answer them. Call me back when you're done."

Mike smiles slightly, "Yeah sure." He leans over, smacking the button to disconnect, getting rewarded with the warble of the ring from below. Another press of the button connects him to downstairs. "Shaw's office. Hannigan speaking."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods, and starts filling out the form. "Okay, sure.." she giggles and nods, "Thanks!" no need to go into details about it being natural. At least she thought to pin he4 wings underneath her jacket this time.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Once the information is filled out, Larry pulls the binder over towards himself, listening to the busy signal, skimming through the information and glancing to what looks to be a new binder, shaking his head. Upon a voice coming up on the other end, the head stops shaking. "Ah. Mr. Hannigan. I have a -" Eyes glance down to the binder. "Megan Hwynn here to see you."

He pauses. Looking back down. "Oh. Gwynn. Not Hwynn. Gwynn. Sorry. The G looks a lot like a H..." He looks over to Megan again. "Pink." A brow arches before he nods. "Alright. Sending her up."

The phone clatters into its resting place before Larry indicates to the grand staircase that goes up to the second level. He smiles, "Alright. Just go up those stairs and down the hallway. He'll be in Wade Shaw's office. Door will be to your left."

Upstairs Mike goes back to searching through the filecabinet. This time focusing on the first drawer.

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn nods, "Thanks!"s he'd make a comment about the Hwynn thing but shrugs it off, skipping off to his office. Megan has been here before but not often. She counts doors before making it to his office, knocking politely on the door before peeling in. "Ummmm helloooo?"

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike sits up in Wade's chair on the other side of the desk. Fingertips pressing the upper drawer closed with the accursed file folder now placed upon the desktop. "Megan," Mike greets, gesturing over to the futon seat across the desk from him. "Have a seat. Its been awhile."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn steps in and smiles cheerfully, waving to Mike. "Hii! How've you been? It's been like, forever hasn't it? I mean, I don't even remember the last time I saw you. " like, literally! Has it been months? Years? "Uh...Sooo...What's new?"

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike tilts his head in consideration as he tries to recall as well. "It involved some Strange friends I think..." He reponds, glancing to the open door. "So, maybe June? July-ish?" He frowns at the mention of new stuff. "Speaking of Strange friends. Probably should close the door before we talk."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn blinks and laughs nervously, "Right! right, that whole enchanted boom box shindig.." she sighs, "I...Should look up Dr Strange." she smiles fondly, he'd be a good mentor..But right now, she has other worries. "Umm...Heey so have you heard of a mutant named Shannon Davis?"

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Quiet, Mike gets up, walks around the desk and heads to the door. Closing it. He heads back over to the other side of the desk, sitting away from the young mutant. "As open minded I'd like to imagine the employees here to be like, there are some things they might be better off not knowing."

He rests his arms upon the desk, left hand folding over the right as he gives a sigh. "Met her right before Thanksgiving through Dr. Pym. Does kind of these forceful pushes...Helped save Wade a few weeks ago from his doppelganger."

Pale eyes look to Megan, "On a related note, has anyone told you about that issue yet? Alternate reality people trying to take over the lives of their doubles?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn arches a curious eyebrow. "Ooh, do you know Dr. Pym?Yeaah, I met him too the other day. We teamed up to take Shannon down.Dunno her well, except that she's a fellow mutant who is apparently being controlled by a crazy symbiote..Was actually hoping I could get you and his help in saving her, but..What's this about dopplegangers?"

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike nods in confirmation as Megan asks if he knows Dr. Pym but doesn't elaborate as he listens to her describing events. His expression changes. "She- what now? That's new."

He leans forward, "Uh, there's this Alternate Universe that got royally screwed over and they found out about our universe so a bunch of them found a way over. A bunch of them are trying to take over the lives of their counterparts here. We've already had two issues here. Hence the added security."

He taps fingers on the desk, "You said Hank was there when you saw her last... Did he use any type of device to try and scan her?"

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn frowns softly at that, looking clearly worried. "Yikes! Sooo uh, who's being targeted, just anyone? Is there a pattern or is it totally random?" she shivers at the thought of a second Pixie running around. Brr.

"Huh, here too? Are you and Dr Pym ok? I dunno him well but he seems nice.." as for a scanning device, she just shrugs, "Dont think so, just some ray gun that slowed her down a bit, he said not much physical stuff worked against her.."

Michael Hannigan has posed:
"Not sure of a pattern. We did experience two members of Silver Round popping in at two different points. One was actually friendly at least. The other-" Mike shakes his head, "Well, Wade's healing up from that one. Hank's been studying the problem. "

The musician frowns. "...So there's still a chance you're dealing with a double." He determines, "Yeah. Hank's definitely going to want in on this. Not only because of who it is but also that possibility and that he was apparently involved with your last encounter. I'll reach out to him. And- I'll help where I can as well."

Megan Gwynn has posed:
Megan Gwynn nod nods, "Wait, Silver Round? That's...That was your first band, wasn't it?" she frowns, "Guess that makes you a target too, huh." she scratches her head but shrugs, "Hmm ok, so she's currently in limbo so she can't cause too much damage, but limbo is still dangerous, as time flows differently there, so we gotta co e up with a plan and fast." she sighs, "I guess.lI dunno if you two are even into the superhero business or enjoy doing it but, I really appreciate the help. Do you have a number I can reach you at? Better than all these random encounters." she giggles at that.

Michael Hannigan has posed:
Mike reaches to pull out a business card, flipping it over to write his number on the back before handing it to Megan. "Mike shakes his head, "Based from what we got from the first one, I think my counterpart's dead. So I'm probably out of the woods now."
