Going Over the Options

"Are there any other questions on this part?"

Mary Jane raised her hand looking over the papers as she sat in a meeting type room around a table with The Mary Janes and Walt's secretary person. "Yeah, Elyia. I like that we get equal pay of cuts from profits and proceeds and I understand Walt's cut... but why is Stark the company getting this big a cut exactly?"

Gwen sighed. "Well that parts kinda my fault."

"Care to elaborate?" Betty asked.

Gwen looked at Elyia who nodded. "On top of the usual fees and expenses for a project of this kind you have additional "complications" with concerts and shows as I understand it."

Glory nodded crossing her arms. "That's putting it mildly. Masked weirdos, monsters and then emergencies that call Gwen away... not that we think those things are her fault but yeah kinda rough on gigs."

Elyia nodded. "Exactly. Part of the reason for their cut being so high is insurance."

"Insurance for when the weird stuff happens?" MJ asked.

Elyia nodded. "Yes but not the kind that you are thinking of. Part of this will pay for 3S to work security for the events to prevent such problems and for a minimum of three appropriate level "supers" to work response in the event of an emergency. They can then respond to cover if you will for Gwen so she won't miss shows."

The girls eyes light up in understanding as smiles spread across their faces. "No more wrecked or missed gigs? That's money well spent!" MJ said excitedly.

Betty looked at the file folders on the table infront if Elyia. "So why do you have three different files?"

Elyia nodded and gestured with her hands in an almost showman like flourish. "Because depending on the circumstances we have three different contracts for you to choose from." She patted the green one on the left. "Inside this one is a contract covering everything we just laid out. It'll start you on your career on your homeworld of Earth-65."

"And the other two are different?" Glory asked rausing an eyebrow.

Gwen nodded. "Right, you are because they offer us different and wider levels of exposure."

Elyia nodded. "Indeed!" She moved her hand and extended a finger to tap the next blue colored folder. "This one is if you decide to play tonight at the gala and have it be an "official" show. You'll be able to play undercontract across this multiverse and enjoy that same level of protection and insurance."

Mary Jane grinned. "Multiversal rockstars!" She beamed at Gwen who shared her enthusiasm. "It's even bigger than the dream we promised to each other!"

The others were equally excited. "And it can begin tonight!" Betty said with Glory adding, "In another world... but what's the third one?"

Elyia looked at Gwen who bit her lip and nodded. "This one," Elyia said moving her hand to the red folder and slowly began tapping it. "This one would allow you even more exposure. Beyond the limits of your reality to Walter's and anything his people, Prime, control. Whole dimensions and worlds of access beyond counting."

Mary Jane grinned. "Well obviously we should go for the biggest one!"

Glory nodded. "Yeah and that'd probably let us go with Gwen so that'd be for the best."

Betty held up her hand. "I totally agree you guys... but why is this one offered last and not first. My geek senses are tingling. There's a catch isn't there?"

Gwen looked at Elyia. "Thank you, Elyia. I think you covered everything with that. I can... fill them in on the rest."

Elyia looked at Gwen and nodded. "Very well. Perhaps discussing that in private with you is for the best. If you need me for anything I'll be waiting right outside." So saying she got up and stepped out of the room.

Betty looked at Gwen. "I totally called it, didn't I? There's a weird catch. Like a monkeys paw or something."

Gwen shook her head. "No. You were right about there being a catch but no ones hiding anything from you guys. Everything is gonna be laid out for you on the up and up and nobody has any ill intentions. It's just..." she sighed but smiled looking at the ceiling. "It's kinda hard to know where to begin. Especially since Walt wanted to be here to explain it with me so you'd have his side but work is in the way at the mo' and... ugh, get it together Gwen! You're rambling!"

"Hey," Betty said reaching out and taking Gwen's hand. "Relax. You're with friends. Sorry if it felt like I was pressuring you. Totally not my intent."

Glory put her hand ontop of Betty's smiling. "Yeah. What Bets said. We're here for you girl and willing to hear whatever you have to say."

Mary Jane nodded putting her hand on top of Glory's. "That's right. We also will do out best to be understanding about whatever you tell us and keep it secret. Besides," she smiled and laughed. "It's not like it can be any bigger a secret or surprise than you and Walt being superheroes! Ahahahaha!" Glory and Betty joined in laughing along too!

But Gwen only chuckled nervously. "Thanks you guys but... actually..."
