Domino has posed:
She's been all over the world, in luxury and squalor, in civilian cities and military bases. She adapts as she goes, and today, Domino actually looks presentable.

She arrives at Wayne Enterprises dressed in something appropriate to the environment: A two piece jacket and skirt combination suited to a professional world. In a dark charcoal gray, it rides just an inch or two above the knee and is partially open in the front to reveal a navy satin undershirt, low cut, but not -too- low cut. Low black heels clack softly against the polished floors of the lobby. White tights match her unusually pale skin.

She isn't packing heat (visibly), but is packing a leather-bound portfolio and simple black purs over her left shoulder. She approaches the receptionist, asking the young man at the desk to let Mr. Wayne know she's here for her appointment - and ten minutes early at that.

Batman has posed:
The young man at the desk comes to life as he see's the well dressed woman come in. "Welcome to Wayne Enterprises how may I help you?" from her looking around at this floor the security doesn't seem to great. There are a few 'guards' here, and there but as she looks around she can see the meeting room with the top names sitting in it through its glass walls. At the end of the table is a man with Black hair, blue eys, and one who looks quite charming if you go by the magazines though right now he appears to be sleeping. The meeting goes on with him in it, and though some look angry they just continue like he isn't there as he continues. The sleeping man wears an expensive looking suit wel taken care of with the whole tie, and cufflinks. Just his appearance shouts money, as everything he is currently wearing is more then most make in a year.

One of the associates there wake him up with a "Mr. Wayne.. we are still in a meeting.." as Bruce wakes up again, and declares.. "Ugh.. you go on, and on.. so boring." as he stands up from the table walking out of the room. You catch his eye as he passes, and he smiles at you with a wink apperantly not knowing who you are in the slightest. The person at the desk gives a light-hearded chuckle, as ya might of told him why you are here by now. "That is Mr. Wayne, he may not look it but he runs this place when the others can get him to pay attention for long enough." in a low voice after Bruce walked to another office.

The meeting dismisses after Bruce leaves, and while the others walk out some can be heard talking about how that damn Wayne is blowing them off again. A balding man talks about how he will get Wayne for this, but stomps off followed by two other note taking looking people who are really nervious. After they pass, the man behind the desk looks over at you.."Mr. Wayne is ready for you, just go right into that office there. And when your done.. Human Resources is right down that hallway there." he points the other way with a grin at her. "If it comes to that."

Domino has posed:
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind," Nina politely replies to the man behind the desk. She's already taken in the surroundings, noting every place a shooter could hide, every blind spot, every point of entry. She does this without even really thinking about it. It's almost second nature at this point.

She follows the given instructions to the hallway, opening the door, her demeanor saying 'everything is normal, this is just a normal everyday thing'. Even if Gotham probably doesn't see a large share of women with skin the color of a snowbank and a dark gray circle over her left eye. And when it does, said women are usually robbing a bank or blowing things up.

She knocks on the door to Mr. Wayne's office politely. Manners are being observed.

Batman has posed:
As far as blind shots, shooting positions... It is just too numerious to count as this office is all open, and not made with security in mind at all. She will have a lot of work infront of her if she wanted to make it more secure, but it is possible just a lot of things would have to change. This isn't a security facility, or even really secure as it is just an office where they think having the open feel is just a better way of working together, As she knocks she would hear a "Enter.." come in from the office though it would be distracted sounding like a normal man just sitting in his office. Bruce is behind a desk, and seeming to be dropping some papers into a shreader with a sigh, he had hopped they were the ones that would move the company further, but they were just another shady corporation that wanted his money.

As she enters he looks up at her, and smiles.. "Oh the lady from the Lobby... what did I do to end up lucky enough to see such a charming lady twice in one day?" and smiles at her standing up. He waves a hand to a chair infront of him, and sits back down continuing, as he reaches over and hits a button.. "Push back my next appointment either I am going to be robbed, or fall in love... either way I shouldn't be disturbed." and lets go of the button with a chuckle. He leans forward looking at her with a buisness look, it looks like he is analyzing her before he continues.

"I hope your not here for buisness, I really don't want to watch that Human Resorces video again... I am Bruce Wayne" he holds out a hand to her. "CEO of Wayne Enterprises, and apperently the bachelor of the year... It is a pleasure to meet you Miss?"

Domino has posed:
She has a seat in the chair across from the desk. It's definitely the usual office set up, more for comfort and style than security. There are little things that can be done to make it safer, but sometimes the best security is feigned helplessness when one is anything but.

"Nina Thurman," she replies to Bruce, crossing her legs. She lets the compliments fly overhead - they could be all part and parcel of the gig. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mister Wayne." At his comment about being bachelor of the year, she chuckles softly. "I hear being a bachelor has its perks, really. You've probably just caught some reporter's eye. That's the burden of being at the top. Everyone wants to flatter you."

Batman has posed:
Bruce watches her, and laughs.. "It does happen more then you know... the flattery, though you surprise me... Not a blush, not a look away.. You are a very confident woman Miss Thurman." he grins at her again, "I like that.. You see people who can't or won't speak their mind are just a waste of time. A whole bunch of hemming and hawwing just to say the same thing people like us would just say to begin with." he gives a shrug again, and stands turning to look out the window down on the city. "Though if I am right you are her aren't you? Your the one the Batman sent here for a job?" he turns and looks at her with a confused look. "He has never done that before, I mean when he showed up in my room I almost jumped out of my skin!" though he gives a nervious laugh about that. "I of course did my research, the Wayne's are very well connected you see, I mean most of the companies that hired you most likely bought some of our wares at one point or another."

He turns and approaches the desk again.. "So you tell me.. Why should I pay you Miss Thurman? I mean I have.." he thinks about it.. "Hundreds? Yea... hundreds of people everyday wanting me to pay them money for one thing or another.. Why should I pay you humm?" sitting down as he talks he steeples his hands infront of him as he watches her. "I mean the secret of being rich is you don't frivolously spend your money right?"

Domino has posed:
"You'd be correct," Nina agrees with Bruce's assessment that she'd been sent here by Gotham's resident guardian. She's amused at the cover that Batman apparently gave for her but she keeps that to herself. "Apparently he thinks you need an edge in keeping safe these days. Considering your company's philanthropic record and earnings statements, I can see why. You're a golden goose. And you know how the story ended."

She rests one elbow against the chair, idly rubbing the tips of her fingers together for a moment as she thinks, and maintains direct eye contact with Mr. Wayne as she does. "You can spend your money however you want, but in general, a good CEO invests it, rather than squandering it. You can do whatever you want with your money, but you're right to ask if you've gotten what you paid for."

"I have a question for you, if you'll indulge me. What's your company's policy on hiring mutants? Have you checked with your stockholders to make certain that if I'm on the payroll they aren't going to bail on you? Let's face it: This isn't greasepaint. I stand out. That could be a problem for your public image." She has a feeling she's being tested. She tests right back.

Batman has posed:
Bruce just listens watching her, and chuckles at times. He knew what she was up to, but also had a part to play in all of this so kept his role. He gives a shrug, "I can defend myself Miss Thurman.. I have been practicing tia chi! I have my own instructor and everything!" he then shakes his head. "Golden goose though huh.. I wish it was that easy, just plop out golden eggs and keep on rolling.. Though no that isn't how it works in real life." he turns the monitor, and there are lists of projects, funding, you name it just heaps of information that the CEO would need to know to make decisions. Nothing confidential is on there more just departments, and project names as one would have to dig deeper to find out information about them. "You see despite what some may think I have to give the okay to everything that comes, or goes.. If there is a team that is underdeveloping I am the one that has to cut the string. Sure some people give it to someone in a suit, but I do it personally because that is the way I was tought." he looks at her. "Heck, if I go out to the town everyone knows me, well most everyone as I am just that kind of person I don't look at people who earn less as less, and I don't look at people who are a.. mutant is it? A mutant any differently." he pauses and grins at her. "And I find your appearance quite alluring more then offputting."

He shrugs, before continuing.. "Though you are right, part of that job is to look for people to invest in, and so far I see why he pointed you to me. I know engenerring, science, and how to run a place like this.. Security though.. Well I know nothing about it really. I have been kidnapped.. five.." he stops and thinks about it, "No six times now, and though Batman saves me like everyone else here it is quite embarassing not to mention unsafe if it happened outside of Gotham." he laughs, and shakes his head. "Maybe for that alone I am looking into someone for security, but I also have a whole building of people to worry about.. Which makes it even worse." though then he stops and looks at her seriously for a moment the smile gone though he looks at her eye to eye.. "And finally, if anyone complains about hiring a mutant I will fire them.. If they can't do their job because of their hate towards someone else.. They will be gone I have no time for that, and no-one here should either. If you were to be hired you would report to me, and that being one of those things you would add in a report... Would that be sastisfactory?"

Domino has posed:
"I don't need firings. I'm just looking out for your best interests in the matter," Nina smiles. "Besides, if someone doesn't like me, I can more than handle it. It'd be nice if I can prove to them that I'm worth a second take, but if not?" She spreads her hands and shrugs her shoulders. "Their loss." She then moves her hands to her knee. "After all, I can be fired. You're the one with more at stake."

She gives the departments a look, and is quietly committing them to memory, as much as is possible. She doesn't strain herself, because when it comes down to it, she can "luckily" remember things she's seen before right when she needs them. "If you've been kidnapped six times already, then that's probably the reason the Bat decided to send me your way. He probably would enjoy a vacation from a high profile target."

"Compliment accepted by the way. I can see why you're bachelor of the year."

Batman has posed:
Bruce holds up a hand, "I don't mean it like that, if I fire people it is because they do not fit the kind of people we hire here. Not that I would do it without reason. I am sure if people get to know you they will calm down if they are scared, but it is the ones that just hate that I am looking out for. My father always said, Fear can be lessened with knowledge, but hate is blinding.." he pauses thinking about it, "You let me worry about them when the time comes.. I have some experience in that field." and winks turning he pulls out a paper from his desk. He hands it to her.. "Fill this out, and return it.. If you wish you will start... oh what day is it.. Lets just say you start at the begining of the week.. Okay?"

He smiles. "Once ya sign that it is all professionalism... I don't date co-workers.. Not since my last lawyer quit." and chuckles a little standing offering a hand. "Also I hope you don't mind flying.. Monday I have a few appointments in Metropolis that I am going to have to around for.. see how it all works walk through the system a little bit... You will then have two days to come up with a new plan for security, and another day to implement it. We move fast here Miss Thurman, cutting edge and all that.. I hope you can keep up." As if it was planned a man sticks his head into the office.. "Mr. Wayne you have that appointment with the Tech department I know you told me to hold them, but they are asking for you directly." With that Bruce chuckles, and shrugs. "It is fine, I think we are done here also." he moves around the desk moving out.. "Will you show Miss Thurman to the armory if she is in security she should at least know what we have for her." he looks at Domino.. "good luck.. We will see each other again soon." with that he leaves.. He doesn't tell her how much she is getting paid, or anything on those lines leaving before that is discussed as others would tell her about that part. He had apperently decided to hire her so she is now drawn into the crazyness that is buisness life.

Domino has posed:
Domino takes the papers from Bruce. "All right. I'll make sure you have my number and get things taken care of with HR." She doesn't ask about pay. She doesn't care. There are a good many casinos that will never let a woman that looks like her in again. She's bank rolled for life.

The job is going to be overwhelming, but hey - that's what all that NSA training and security work was for. She'll definitely be busy.

If she ever figures out what's really going on, she's going to -strangle- Batman.
