It was the job of a lifetime. Well not exactly a job but more of an opportunity.
An opportunity that came out of nowhere and with it's sudden unveiling many people began to question it.
Most said it was a part of Tony Stark's newfound moral conscious due to his Iron Man personality that caused him to set it up.
However, for whatever reason thousands of eager young graduates from around the world, flocked to Stark Industries for the "Stark Innovators of the Future Internship." An internship with the one and only Tony Stark that was only opened to undergrad and graduate college students between 20 and 30 years old.
Each applicant had to submit their résumé three months prior and schedule an interview with a panel, then if called back schedule another interview with a smaller panel, fill out a few health forms, take a test, and then interview with only one person. The only important person in this entire process: Pepper Potts.
Those that made it so far to see her said that she was the impossible hurtle. Not by looking at your test score, job experience, or even education she could tell if you could make it or not. Simply by personality she could tell. It was because of this that many applicants where discarded for consideration and in the last month of the application process, many of the applicants where too afraid to see her and dropped out.
This however did not scare Vanessa Rowina Travis. She was more nervous than anything else. As she, and two other applicants, sat in the navy blue carpeted waiting room, she thought about how hard she worked to get to this point.
She had to spend what little money she got from her secretary job to fly back and forth from New York over the last few months, schedule countless interviews, and even take a standardize test on quantum physics. All of those countless hours spent talking to all those interview people and flying back and forth would not be wasted. She would be damned if she did not get the internship and with a fiery determination Vanessa was ready to face the "impossible hurtle" Pepper Potts.
"Ms. Travis?" called a brown haired woman at the reception desk.
Vanessa stood up and carefully straightened out her black suit. As she turned to face the other woman she could feel the other's stares in the room burning into the back of her head.
"Just through that door." The brown haired woman said pointing to the door at the end of the hall with a smile.
Vanessa took a deep breath and walked down the hall. Her future awaited her.
