Every Breath You Take, I’ll Be Watching You (strictly in my position as your babysitter, Morgan, now go wash the grease off your hands)

She does all she can to stop herself from laughing when the conversation begins - and also smacks Leo later when he almost chokes on his own laughter at the thought of Annabeth "I have stabbed a being of every species I have ever encountered" Chase being a babysitter.But, by the end of the conversation, she doesn’t really see any reason at all why she shouldn’t try for the job. Annabeth isn’t blind - she can clearly see by the state of Pepper’s attire that she’s well off, so the pay would be good, and it’s not like being a babysitter is any harder than anything else she's done in her roughly two decades of living and breathing. Plus, if she’s being honest, she’s not exactly in a position to pick and choose with jobs. Annabeth Chase is halfway through her Bachelor's at Columbia, smack in the middle of post-Blip NYC and five years younger than she should be. The only thing a second part-time job can hurt is her sleep-schedule and she never had one of those to begin with. Babysitting for a family swimming with superheroes is mostly a piece of cake, but pardon her if it didn't occur to her that introducing the Potts-Stark family to the mess that is her life could present an opportunity for disaster.
