Anthony raises an eyebrow and replies cooly, "Let me rephrase my statement to more accurately depict the reality of my request. You're help isn't necessary, but it'd be beneficial. I'm willing to admit that you're a more skilled engineer than I, so your assistance would expedite my project." He pulls out some blueprints from his pocket and spreads them on the table. "I've designed wireless headphones that function exactly the same as Sue's current ones, but they have the benefit of being discrete and controlled mentally. This leaves her hands free during a battle, and their isn't a chance of them falling off. Once finished, they would look very similar to cochlear implants, but they'd be much slimmer, and Sue's hair could cover most of it. In order to enable Sue to control them mentally, however, I would need to perform a minor surgery, which I am more than qualified to do. I've told Sue about these, and she's making up her mind, but if she chooses to allow me to insert them, I'd like to have them ready to go." He looks up from the blueprints, his eye's turning grey as he asks, "So, Mr. Stark. Will you help me help a friend?"
Ben shrugs, "Not really. We both know I've had a few girls over since school started, but I haven't really had a connection with any of them." He grins then continues, "I'm keeping my eyes open though. Ya never know, the One might just fall on my lap, or something like that."
