Rory had pulled a string or two to get this interview about the QC takeover, but it had promise. She was sitting in Ray Palmer's office, waiting for him to be done meeting with his newest VP, Queen's former assistant. They were still talking as Felicity Smoak left, Palmer right behind her when he noticed Rory.
"Ms. Gilmore!" he said, extending a hand in greeting. "Sorry for running behind, but good ideas don't wait."
She shook his hand. "It's fine, Mr. Palmer."
"Call me Ray." He paused. "You look familiar. Have we met?"
"I don't think so."
"Maybe I just saw you somewhere. A lecture maybe?"
She smiled and shook her head. "No offense, Ray, but I'm not one for science lectures. Not unless my best friend is lecturing me on the acoustics of a perfect rock concert."
His eyes lit up and he pointed at her. "That's it! You look like this woman who threatened me after a Bangles concert once."
"You remember my mom?!"
Ray smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, I was kind of a douche. I've stopped trying to be cool since then."
"I'm sure she'll be amused."
"I'm sorry," Felicity interrupted. "You got threatened after a Bangles concert?"
