Chapter 51 - 51: Some skating?

Please give us some reviews and some power stones.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Four days have passed since Bruce and I agreed on the large-scale production of spinners. I paid close attention to this process, because these toys could bring me much-needed material resources.

I taught some people various tricks with these spinners so that they would release entertaining videos with them on the Internet. According to the plan, this should cause a certain excitement around the spinner.

Also, I did not forget to monitor the production process itself and their further promotion.

If everything works out as it should, the money will flow to us like a stormy river!

***********************************

I spent today in the company, solving accumulated problems. Later in the evening, I looked through the resumes of candidates for vacant positions at Alritex Entertainment.

We equipped our recording studio with the necessary equipment for producing CDs. Now all that remains is to hire enough qualified workers to get the business going. More than three weeks have passed since my album was released.

Fans of my work have already begun to resent, waiting for the quickest possible purchase of a hard drive version of the album. And so, while I was digging through papers in search of suitable employees, I came across a very familiar name - Alison Blaire.

Hmm, that's "Dazzler"! A mutant with the ability to transform sound waves into light. Never thought that I would encounter the most famous singer of the Marvel universe so soon. As far as I know, Alison's abilities manifested themselves when she, an aspiring singer, performed at a school disco, but everyone decided that the unexpected flashes of light were technical special effects.

After finishing school, Blair began to make a career in show business and achieved some success under the pseudonym "Disco Flash".

While singing, she used her abilities, but still no one guessed that these were not technical tricks, but a mutation of the singer. Then the X-Men appeared, and her calm and measured life came to an end.

To tell the truth, I myself wanted to find her in the future, because Alison was always presented as a very talented singer. And now I was holding a document in my hand, where it was written in black and white that she wanted to sign a contract with our recording studio.

At the moment, our studio is a newcomer in the music field. We have released only one album, and it consisted entirely of piano compositions. Yes, of course, I recorded one song that became a hit. Hmm, you can see that this young lady is quite far-sighted.

Now is probably the best time to sign a contract with us. Although we have not yet secured the foundation, many look at our side quite favorably. I have already begun to build an aura of success around myself, and it would be strange not to see those willing to share my growing fame with me.

True, at the moment, I have established myself only as a successful composer. I have not yet shown the world my talent in composing songs. Only one successfully written hit does not mean anything yet. But our Miss Blaire, it seems, was able to see something in me, since she decided to join the studio "Alritex Records" so soon.

I wanted to know a little more about her, and I began to search for information about Alison Blaire on the Internet. Well, in principle, the information was not much different from what I knew. She began her career at school under the pseudonym Disco Flash.

Her path in show business was very thorny and difficult, since she did not sign a contract with any labels or studios. It seems that Alison was afraid that in this case they would be able to recognize her as a mutant,and then the situation would have been very dire for her.

So she organized concerts and arranged her own tours. She wrote all her own tracks, and I must say quite successfully, at least at the beginning of her career. Over time, her inspiration began to dry up, and for almost two years she had not released hot hits.

It seems that it was the decline in her career that prompted her to decide to sign a contract with a label. And I must say that she made a wise choice in favor of me. I do not think that any other place would have been able to help her climb back to the top.

Not every label will want to give their best songs to a newcomer, because writing is very hard work, especially in this world. But I am different. I wanted to meet with Alison as soon as possible and talk. I asked Vivian to arrange a meeting for the next day at 2 pm.

Putting this matter aside for the next day, I went back to familiarizing myself with the rest of the resumes. In the end, thanks to intuition, I chose ten suitable people. The company is growing!

********************

A new day greeted me with the bright rays of the sun. Symbolically, since today I will see the one who is literally able to exude radiance. I arrived at the recording studio half an hour before the appointed time.

I wanted to check something... And while I was immersed in work, I was distracted by a knock on the door.

"Yes, yes, come in…" The door opened, and a dazzlingly beautiful blonde appeared in front of me. What can I say, her nickname really suits her very well.

Although the choice of outfit was very modest, blue jeans and a snow-white top, she looked very attractive. A miniature player was attached to her belt, from which one could catch barely audible quiet notes, pleasant music was playing. Now Alison was 24 years old, and she was in her prime.

Eh, and this is my first Marvel character that I met in this world. Moreover, this is also my first mutant... I'm even a little excited with anticipation.

"Hello, my name is Alison Blair," the girl introduced herself with her clear voice. Now I was convinced that she really was a gifted singer.

"Hi, I'm Alex Reath," I extended my hand to her as a greeting.

"Please, sit down."

"To be honest, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

"Why not... I'm recruiting good specialists, and your resume interests me."

"Mr. Reath, I want to sign a contract with your studio. And I would like to discuss the details."

"Just call me Alex, okay? Since we're going to be sailing in the same boat," I suggested.

"Okay, in that case you can just call me Alice, too," the singer said, throwing a bright smile at me.

It even seemed to me that she had just used her ability. My imagination must have run wild.

"I'm listening to you," I leaned back in my chair.

"Um... I would like you to write a song for me, and I was hoping that the studio would entrust the organization of concerts to me myself. The thing is, I already have a lot of experience in this, and I'm pretty good at it," she said in one breath. "What do you think?"

It seems, she's afraid that we'll find out the truth about her abilities. And her fears are not unfounded... In the comics, when it became known that she was a mutant, many of her fans turned away from her.

True, it's worth adding that back then, people were on the verge of a breakdown and hated mutants with a passion.

For this, we should thank the X-Men and Magneto and his minions. We'll have to do something about this in the future. Magneto can't be allowed to run wild.

With his efforts to protect mutants, he will only lead to their extermination. I would not like to witness a war between humans and mutants.

Especially since in this world there are not only mutants, but also meta-humans, the only difference is in name.

"Alice, you've only been in Gotham for a short time, haven't you?"

"Yes, I just arrived here three days ago... You may not know, but I'm organizing a concert in this city in a week."

"Really? Well, that's great, but we'll talk about that later. The thing is, there's a skating rink that just opened near our Gotham State University. They say it's really fun. How about going there now and having a casual chat?"
