Don’t think I’ve ever posted this headcanon here, but I’ve mentioned it enough in private chats that I might as well.

Started as some dirty thoughts about Sark’s Lieutenant:

Cute guy, punching bag on Jarvis level. Probably deserved better.

Apparently created by Peter, Dillinger’s assistant whose only line was “good evening Mr. Dillinger” before being told to leave. The actor for both (Tony Stefano) was, among others things, a Playgirl model.

Dirty headcanon started out as, “I bet those circuits on his neck are really sensitive. I bet he can be brought all the way to overload with just a hickey.”

But it expanded into:

- Peter was hired as just a general assistant and errand boy. Programming isn’t in his original skillset.

- but he’s eager to please and willing to learn!

- So he tried his hand at writing a little assistant script to help out Dillinger’s program

- turned out okay enough to be worth using.

- but it has glitches that none of the professionally written programs have.

- in-system, these glitches manifest as weird neck circuits

- in-system, their tendency to cause frequent crashing of the program? manifests as… how that poor guy can be brought to overload with just a hickey.

- he still deserved better. (Including more hickeys).
