Being the famous Pop Idol came with a lot of responsibility. She had to do her hair and make up even if all she wanted to do was go to the store. She was in the back of a limo slowly moving through traffic as a traffic jam up ahead has slowed all in-coming traffic. The Pop Idol was not known for her patience. She was part of the "now" generation. She wanted things now. She needed things now. Everything had to happen now.
Eventually she got so impatient she got out of the limo and moved along the various cars to see what the hold up was. There was a six car pile up up ahead and Vulture troops were on the scene. She tapped her foot and placed her hands on her hips.
"Excuse me, but when is this going to be dealt with? I have places to be."

Norman Osborn was among those stuck in traffic on his way to Oscorp and was about to tell his driver to take the side roads that only those close to the Vulture knew about when he saw the Pop Idol out in the streets. It wasn't everyday you saw royalty in Isafaro and she was as close to a Queen as Isafaro would ever get. He got out of his limo and cleared his throat to get the woman's attention.
"Excuse me, Miss Starlight, but perhaps I might be of some assistance?"
He waited for the woman to turn her attention to him before continuing:
"I know a short cut pass all this traffic if you want to get through the streets quicker. The name is Norman Osborn and I know who you are of course. My son is a big fan."

Aminee looked over to the man who spoke to her. He was offering her a short cut and Aminee was willing to take it. Even though her mother warned her about getting into cars with strange men. She doubted the man would try anything. He was Norman Osborn of Oscorp and a respectable man in the public eye. She felt safe enough.
"Yes, I know who you are. I watch the news."
Aminee went over to Norman's limo and climbed inside. Making herself comfortable in the back as she smiled back at Osborn.
"I do appreciate the offer and let your son know I said hi."

"He'll be thrilled to hear that."
Norman climbed back inside the limo after Aminee entered and shut the door behind him.
"Take us to the side streets, Driver."
"Right away, Mister Osborn."
The limo pulled away from the traffic and started going through the side streets of Isafaro. Norman sat quietly for a moment before turning his attention to the Pop Idol once again. She was so young and beautiful that it made Norman remembered his own youth.
"So, where are you headed?"

"All-In-One-Center-Studios ran by Carari Incorporated. I have a new album to record today and I'm already late thanks to the stupid traffic."
Aminee didn't like to be late for work, and neither did her boss Carari Grey. She was such a proud and strong woman. Didn't care for the supernatural and only cared for the benefit of humanity. But she ran a strong empire and Aminee was inspired that a woman had as much power as she did.
"You?"

"That's very interesting. I'm sure it will become a number one best selling album in no time at all."
Aminee Starlight was a very talented performer. That much Norman knew from what he heard from Harry's soundtracks of her. She was also very young and very beautiful so she had a lot going on for her. Norman only hoped she could appreciate her own youth and beauty and not waste it.
"I'm headed to Oscorp, of course. I have a meeting with General Vulture himself."

"The good General. Are you nervous?"
Aminee had yet to meet General Vulture yet. She was sure the day was coming. You couldn't become the hottest thing in Isafaro without its leader taking notice of you. She was certain she could entertain the soldiers and the good General when the time came, for right now she had to focus on selling records.

"In my line of work you can't afford to be nervous. Besides, it's not my first time meeting the General."
Being one of the few main competitors to Stark Industries, and working with military contracts you met the leader of that military often. And now that Stark was out of the picture on the weapons front, that only left Isafaro to deal with Oscorp. Good for him at the end of the day, and he had a lot to offer the Isafaro military if they could just come together and discuss it.

"A nice and respectable man like you is probably bursting with confidence."
Yes, she was flirting just a little. It's what she was known for. He was handsome in an old man kind of way. Not that Aminee would go for someone that old. A little flirting never hurt anything now did it?
"What's he like? The General I mean."

"You flatter me. As for the General he's a tough and unyielding man and good at negotiations. Of course you have to be in his line of work. Not a man you want to cross."
Norman Osborn always enjoyed his talks with the General. He was a smart and clever man and knew what he wanted from Oscorp. That was rare in Osborn's customers and contracts. He didn't understand why Stark wanted to burn that bridge, but Osborn now had a new field of opportunity presented to him because of Stark's choice.

"As I always imagined him to be."
Aminee leaned back in her seat and made herself comfortable. She didn't know how far away "All-In-One-Studios" was from the side streets, but hopefully they would arrive soon so she could work on her album. She then looked back at Norman.
"So, tell me about your son. You say he's a fan of mine?"
Aminee wondered if the son was as handsome as the father. At least she hope he was.

"A big one. He's a smart kid. Has a bright future ahead of him. In his last year of high school. Always hangs out with some kid named Parker."
Norman Osborn was proud of his son and what he has achieved. Some day Harry Osborn would be CEO of Oscorp and follow in his footsteps. But hopefully not his mistakes. Norman looked out the window and saw they were further down pass all the traffic on the main roads.
"It shouldn't be much longer now until we've reached your designation."

"Is he as handsome as his father?"
Aminee smirked. He had to see the mild flirting by now. She was hoping the son was as good looking as the dad as it'd be more appropriate to hook up with the son than the father. At least in her eye. He was old enough to be her father after all. Not that that would stop some people.

Norman smiled. The tiny bit of flirting didn't escape him, but he could tell that the woman was more interested in meeting his son than anything with him. Which was fine. Norman Osborn was a happily married man and wasn't looking for an affair anytime soon.
"Like father like son they say. I can arrange a visit if you wish to meet him."

"I'd like that very much."
It was always a pleasure meeting a fan and who knows she may get something pleasurable out of it herself. Aminee leaned back in her seat and made herself more comfortable as she waited to arrive at the studio.
