Professor Klark (or Clark) Underhill was walking down the aisle with a bunch of students behind him. Usually, medical professionals met at this type of conference to discuss what was new in medicine, but this time new students in the field joined the conference because the university believed that it could help students in their future careers.
Acker didn't want to waste time explaining and talking about his new biotech prosthetic to a bunch of students which input was completely useless, but at the same time he appreciated education obviously. So, he had been convinced to still participate instead of starting to work on a new project.
The Lads, Zeus and Apollo, were sitting at either side of him, they were two Dobermann that looked like the real deal but in reality they were robots. Zeus and Apollo were Acker's first design which had kickstarted his robot-tech company. Yes, the dogs were a reference to a certain tv series. Anyway, people walking by pointed at them sometimes, some even asked if they could pet the dogs. Acker rolled his eyes everytime and asked his aids why they couldn't close the room until the presentation was ready.
Unfortunately, there was an open door policy at this conference and Acker regretted sending his assistant away on business with every minute that passed and more people walked in to check on things. He regretted it especially when he saw a certain professor walk in. The assistant could handle people way better than Acker ever could.
"Dr. Nicholas Acker Villin!" and Acker observed the professor getting closer as if Clark was a train and Acker was trapped in the middle of the train tracks. The professor was a hugger. It felt like the train had just run him over when Clark friendly hugged him "I was so glad to hear that you are at this conference! I tried to contact you, but you were always unavailable, working on a new project I assume?" Acker started breathing again once Clark let go.
The two had worked together in a team, and Clark had left a positive impact on Acker which was rare, but Clark had demonstrated to be as smart as he was friendly. That was why Acker tolerated the hug. And Clark's competence was also why Acker listened when the other man asked him to meet a student "...really, Acker! You should meet Miss Moore, her scores are the highest and she is an overachiever...she reminds me of someone" Clark winked at Acker.
The mad scientist, whom had to be a Villin for the day, had to be polite and tell the aids to take five. He looked at his prosthetic while the aids left the stage. The biotech prosthetic was inside a protective glass container, but the glass was also a screen which would show informative text at the appropriate time. Considering that the conference was taking place at the university to allow students to attend, the presentation took place in one of those round classrooms.
Acker, who was wearing his distinctive black suit and gloves, turned around and smiled his Villin smile at Clark "How could I not meet her after you hyped her up so much?" in reality he didn't want to meet anyone just now because he wanted to focus on the presentation, but he had to wear his Villin persona's mask.
Clark thanked Acker by friendly patting his arms "Be right back!" Acker took a sigh of relief seeing Clark leaving the room, or better, skipping. The mad scientist closed his eyes and took deep breaths to give himself strength to keep his Villin persona on. He opened his eyes and looked around the classroom and his mind went back to the last time he had given a presentation at this university...it hadn't ended so well. Let's just hope that no Hunter was going to be at the presentation this time.

ps. Clark is just an NPC that I made up on the spot for the thread, so you can move him too if you'd like!

"Miss Moore! Dr. Villin has accepted to see you! Follow me!" the professor was so excited for the opportunity as if it was for him and not for the student, but it was just Clark being his friendly self. The professor entered the classroom again, Acker and the Lads waiting. The mad scientist was doing his best to hide his annoyance, thankfully he had lots of experience being a Villin.
