"Well I wouldn't worry about that," Tony said as he moved the holographic display to the side, "We have our own teleporter system, so we can just 'zap' you here whenever we need you."
"And just to put your mind at ease," GLaDOS added, "I can tell you with 100% confidence that the teleporter system is completely safe, with no further accidents after April, 2007."
Tony gave a light cough before continuing on, "Anyway, we do acknowledge you're good, but I just want to be sure you know what you're getting into. These things you're about to face aren't exactly your typical thugs or villains you see in those spy movies. We're talking supernatural stuff that serve as the fuel for some of your worst nightmares. I need to know that you're fully prepared for what you're about to face."

Tony blinked for a bit as Sam finished saying her piece. He was well aware of the circumstances behind Sam's leaving WOOHP, and her recent encounter with the Enchanteds. She was certainly motivated, and if her background was any indication, she was more than ready, physically and mentally, for what challenges lay ahead. A catch such as her would be hard to come by, and she would definitely be a major asset to Team-X.
"Well," Tony said frankly, "just so you know, we do run a tight ship here at-."
Before Tony could finish, a low series of muffled screams could be heard coming from one of the walls. Then, a panel in one of the walls near the ceiling opened up, and in from the opening zipped what looked like a spherical, white metal drone with a singular blue eye. The metal sphere was zipping back and forth on the management rail attached to the ceiling, screaming frantically. The reason for his panic was what appeared to be a crow, pecking away at the sphere's metal body.
All the while, the sphere was screaming "GAHH! NO! DOWN! SIT! HEEL! CEASE! DESIST! YAAAAAAUGH!!!"
After thirty seconds of this, he metal sphere managed to make it to the opposite wall of Tony's office, exiting through another opened panel in the wall with the crow still pecking away at his metal body.
Tony was silent for a few seconds, unsure of what to say following that display.
"I wouldn't pay any attention to that," GLaDOS voice said frankly from the walls, "Wheatley was tending to a bird infestation in the ventilation ducts on the 22nd floor. He's fine, really."
"Anyway," Tony said after taking big gulp from his drink, "contrary to what you just saw, we run a tight ship here at Strato-Form. As a member of Team-X, we'll be expecting nothing but your very best."
As he spoke, he input another command into the keypad on his desk, and a panel opened up, producing a small card. It was an official Team-X Identification Card. On it was Sam's picture next to a stylized X on the front.
"Welcome to the team," Tony said as he offered the card to Sam.

"That's okay," Tony said, "I got Jerry's digits on my cell, I'll be sure to give him a call, let him know of our arrangement."
With that, Tony rose from his seat and offered his hand, "I hope you have someplace to stay here in the city. Because, I can make arrangements for living quarters someplace nearby, if you need someplace to crash."

Sam grab his hand as she stand up and grab her Compower "Yes I would need a place to stay" said Sam with a smile as she place it into her bag "And Tony I would still like to carry on my school work" said Sam.

"I think we can pull some strings," Tony said casually, "I'm close friends with the dean at the local university, we can cover your tuition costs, rent at the dorms, what ever you need, you just let us know, and we'll take care of it for ya."
"Shall I have mint chocolates placed on her pillows as well?" GLaDOS asked sarcastically.
"Don't mind her," Tony said with a chuckle, "she likes to tease a lot."

Sam look at Tony "Thank you Tony and if I do I will" said Sam with a smile as she turn over to GLaDOS "I like raspberry chocolates not mint GLaDOS and Tony it fine" said Sam with a chuckle.

"Oh, she has a sense of humor, as well," GLaDOS noted, "How intriguing."
Tony couldn't help but smile as he looked over the young woman in front of him.
"Say, how 'bout we go do some apartment hunting, see if we can't find someplace nice for you?" Tony offered with a small wink.
"I suppose that means you'll be cancelling this afternoon's board meeting...again?" GLaDOS asked.
"You know it," Tony answered back.

Sam blush "Yes that would be nice to do Tony" said Sam as she grab his arm "He can take care of it later GLaDOS" said Sam as she started to walk over to the elevator as she open the door.

This girl was really starting to grow on Tony. He placed his hand on Sam's as he lead her into the elevator. He could tell she was something really special.
"Don't wait up for me, GLaDOS," Tony said as the elevator doors closed.
"Don't worry," GLaDOS answered, "I never do."

"Well, trust me," Tony said with a smile, "it's gonna get better down the road. Trust me, you couldn't have found a better place to work than right here at Strato-Form."
As the elevator reached the ground floor, Tony struck up an intimate conversation with Sam as he escorted her to his car, regaling her with stories about some of his past exploits and adventures. It was one of the few times he was ever this open with someone in a long while. For some reason, Sam made him feel relaxed, more relaxed than he had ever been with anyone in a long while. He had a good feeling about this one, she seemed just the kind of girl he needed in his life.
***
Unbeknownst to Tony, as he escorted Sam through the parking lot, Alpha-7 kept close eye on the pair through the security cameras. After secretly listening on the interview, she had to admit, she was starting to like Sam, too. There was something about her personality that was infectious. Of course, this was all the more reason for concern, now that Tony seemed to be falling for her. Alpha-7 was all to familiar with Tony's track record with the ladies, and she of course had her own reservations about him hooking up with Sam.
I hope she knows what she's getting herself into.

Sam smile as she walk over to his car "I'm sure I'm will Tony" said Sam as she slide into his car. Sam feel so calm around him as she look into his eyes as she know that this may turn into something more and she hope so.
