NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16: 16
I didn't wait long after Cortana put in my offer for an interview with Vicki as she immediately called to let me know that she was on her way. Since I had a little time before she arrived I decided to was the gore off and put on something semi-casual. I needed to project an idea for the masses that I was approachable and cared about them but I was also different other something that they could never understand.
I didn't wait long as the gorgeous redhead from the Gotham Gazette arrived surprisingly under a half hour after I called. Although technically what she was wearing wasn't too revealing it only barely passed as appropriate if we stretched the term. Honestly, that was one of the main reasons I chose her instead of Lois Lane besides the fact that I wasn't certain Lois was together with Superman yet.
Cortana: Sir your guests have arrived for your interview
Vicki: That is a very impressive virtual assistant Mr. Black (Cortana ignored the disregard)
"Cortana is an AI and is fully aware"
Vicki: That is amazing I thought Stark was the only one but looking at her now it seems that she is far more advanced
Cortana: I don't seem more advanced I am more advanced that is like comparing a calculator to a supercomputer
Cortana explained without any malicious intent but it still seemed degrading and insulting either way. Vicki seemed shocked by this and began to re-examine Cortana as she never considered that the digital woman was truly alive. Rather than continue letting ponder this topic I decided to steer the conversation back on track.
"Fascinating as she is aren't we here to do an interview on my recent mission to explain to the world about my actions"
Vicki: Right of course that's why I am here but if there is time later I'm sure the world would love to hear about your world's life and technology
"And I will be happy to provide you with that possibly in a separate interview so that the two topics don't get lost in all of this"
Vicki: Really? That sounds fantastic! My ratings will skyrocket and that bitch Lois Lane can choke on that!
"I get the feeling that you don't have a very good opinion of your peer"
Vicki: I'm sorry was I too subtle? In case you haven't figured it out me and Lois don't play well together. That bitch thinks she's better than me which of course she isn't she just slobbers over Superman's cock to advance her career
I knew that wasn't true if anything superman is a true simp and the reason why Lois Lane's career was blowing up but who was I to correct that rumor? Either way, she didn't waste time on it as her people set up the cameras in the living room. The interview was to be broadcast live and we sat across from each other.
