(Nitro?), Ethan thought as Nitro reached her hand out for a shake.
Nitro was truly an unusual name, especially if it was a given name. Then again, perhaps it was simply a name she made herself. As for what Ethan could tell from Nitro's last name, she was of Asian descent. Wasting little time, Ethan reached out for Nitro's hand and spoke as he shook it.
"Nice to meet you, Nitro.", Ethan calmly said to her, faintly smiling as he did so.

"Aww, you found another friend, Nitro. That doesn't happen very often." The redhead chuckled teasingly. Nitro glared at her before returning to read the resume.
"I'm Alex. I'm Nitro's friend." Alex simply introduced herself. Her voice was rich and melancholic, contrasting Nitro's peppy, energetic voice. "So you're going to apply for internship in Nitro's shop, huh? Can you tell us any examples of what you've worked on? Anything's fine."
"Hey, that's a question I need to ask!" Nitro growled, her eyes not leaving the paper.

When Ethan heard Alex's voice, he could swear that he had heard her voice from somewhere, though he didn't know where. Not only that, her name was familiar too, but Ethan didn't want to ask or say anything about it until he was absolutely sure his hunch was right. For now, Ethan would talk about his involvement with various technology. Right as Ethan began to speak, he very subtly raised an eyebrow at the two's antics in slight amusement, finding the two's banter somewhat humorous.
"Yes. I made a robot that was able to search for and identify particular items, then retrieve them and bring it back to a person. I've made a couple machines that were able to wirelessly interface with various electronics, and a robot that could navigate through an obstacle course that was subject to constant changes. I have also worked on various drive systems for machinery, and have been working at the nearby college on an experimental exosuit. I'm responsible for the nanotechnology integrated into the suit, such as its reactive liquid armor and nano-weave meshing that covers it.", Ethan replied.

"Impressive, if not surprising." Alex raised an eyebrow, impressed at Ethan's feats. "I thought only Nitro was capable enough to handle such wide variety of engineering work."
"That's because you've been living in a well." Nitro commented, and Alex chuckled. "Right, Ethan, you're hired I guess, for now. I'm going to put you in a 3-week internship training and evaluation until you become properly hired as an assistant."
"Congratulations, Ethan." Alex smiled and, checking the time on her cell phone, added: "Nitro, it's almost time to go."
Nitro scanned the clock on a wall to find that it was nearing 5:30. "Shit! Uh, uh, Alex start up your car and go on ahead, I'll catch up later."
"But what about Ethan?" Alex asked as Nitro ran upstairs.
"TAKE HIM WITH YOU!" Nitro shouted.

If Ethan was a more extroverted person, he would have had a small grin on his face as he heard the news, the only indicator of Ethan's satisfaction being the small smile that formed on his face. Finally, after all this time, his plan was beginning to come together. It wouldn't be much longer now.
Just then, Alex looked at her watch and panicked about the time being close to five thirty, and before he knew it, he was suddenly told that Alex would be taking him somewhere, catching Ethan slightly off guard and confused. Where we're they going? Ethan did not know.
"Wait, what?", Ethan asked in confusion as he looked over to Alex.

"I will explain at the car, just follow me." Alex said, her voice only slightly higher-pitched in the midst of confusion as she opened the entrance door and walked out. Waiting for her was a sleek sports sedan, black as night. She made a motion to Ethan to hurry up as she unlocked the car door and entered.

Having little time to ask questions and being silenced when he had the opportunity to speak, Ethan could do nothing but what he was told. Wasting little time, Ethan quickly followed Alex to the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
"So what's going on?", Ethan asked as he fastened his seatbelt and looked over to Alex.

"Well you see..." Alex suddenly sheepishly chuckled as she drove off into the streets.
"About an hour from now, a new 18+ club named Nexxus will open for their first night, with Nitro's favorite artist, DJ Sinker, in the house. She didn't want to wait on the line, so we decided to get there at six to not have to wait in line. However, considering how long it'll take for her to get dressed and drive to the club, she probably won't be able to make it." Alex answered Ethan's confusion.
"Now, the reason why she asked me to take you with me is simple." She continued as she took a right turn. "There's a bartender who will work in Nexxus who is Nitro's ex-boyfriend. So she's basically taking you as her fake new boyfriend, to make the ex feel jealous."

Upon hearing the reason why he was brought along, Ethan's head dropped closer to his shoulders as he gave Alex a somewhat annoyed yet amused look. Despite the fact that Ethan was being used, he couldn't help but find it at least amusing. At least his evening would be a little more interesting than sitting back in his apartment, waiting until midnight.
"Wow. I just met you guys and you're already getting me in to your shenanigans.", Ethan dryly remarked before a very faint smile crept across his face.
