Employee Lounge

Stepping out of the elevator, Molly finds a big open-concept lounge area, as Brad promised. A few couches and tables are placed intentionally around the room, with a few game tables at the back near a huge bay window. Only a few people occupied the space right now, and she figured that most people were hard at work.

"Around this time, most people are working at their desks or rushing around," Brad confirmed her suspicions. He leads her away from the lounge and down a hallway before directing her into a small conference room. He instructs her to sit down and hands her some documentation. "Before you can get truly started, we have some forms I'll need you to sign. Pretty standard stuff, but they take it seriously here." Molly smiles and replies, "I hope they take security seriously here of all places!" Brad chuckles. "Just read through the papers and sign where needed. I'm headed back to the front desk, but Gabrielle will be here shortly to continue your specific onboarding. Good luck and welcome aboard!" Molly thanks him as he leaves the room and starts reading.

It takes a while to flip through all of the pages, but she's glad she did. The legal terminology was pretty explicit: she was not able to share details about what happens inside these walls in any way at all. Molly wasn't a legal expert, but it sounded like consequences could go beyond mere termination, she could potentially be detained for an indeterminate amount of time. The wording makes her nervous, but she reassures herself. "Of course they need to be super cautious. What if I learn some hero's identity or weakness or something?" Convinced it makes perfect sense, Molly wraps up her reading and signs the documents.

A short while later, the door opens again. Molly had been looking out the window, watching the city below, and turns to see a tall woman walk in. "Molly?" She nods the affirmative. "That's me!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you," the woman responds. "My name is Gabrielle, I'll be your manager for this position."

"Nice to meet you! I'm so excited to get started!" Molly responds happily. Gabrielle smiles softly. This was clearly a woman who carried herself professionally. Gabrielle confirms that the paperwork is in order, and puts it into a folder that she carries with her before leading Molly out of the room and into her new job.
