At work in the lab and beyond
It needed to be perfect. He'd original focused on the manipulation of pressure and temperature within a miniscule forcefield, but for the last few layers, he'd brought out the hydrocarbon gas for chemical vapor disposition.

He was still considering what metal to incorporate. Would titanium be inappropriate? Kristoff realized he had a slight bias towards using titanium for a lot of things. It needed more thought, and it wasn't ready for that part, anyway.

Not to mention the fact that the entire project might well be completely pointless.

Very optimistic, Dr. Vernard.

He reaches a safe shutdown point and stores the container away before going back to his room to dress for dinner.

	"Yes, Anya's babysitting." And possibly some of the other Avenger ~~brats~~ kids. Safety in numbers and in powers. "Shall we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Certainly." And off they go. "I hope your day went well on the whole?" He'll offer her his arm as they leave the building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie took Kristoff's arm and leaned closer to him. "Very. I took Scotty to the park and he played nice with the other kids." No conquering of any kind there. "I wish it could be summer all year." Or she could home school him but there were all sorts of reasons she decided not to do that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Glad to hear it, but not surprised." He smiles. "And I have to admit, I would not like the heat year-round, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I agree with you on that last one. So, how was your day? Did you get out of the lab any?" She wasn't being critical exactly. She knew how easy it was to get absorbed in work and at least he was with her now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not very much, I admit," he says, half-apologetically. "I have several works in progress. But they were going well today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will make it a point not to." He stayed as close beside her as physically possible until they got all the way to the restaurant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Please let there not be a super villain attack. Cassie prayed silently when they arrived. Please, please, please. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Great minds, of course, think alike, and when they get a table, Kristoff, taps his fingers on the table rather superstitiously and looks around one more time. And once paranoia is sated, he can't look at anything else but her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie took a few more moments than Kristoff to calm down but when she did she caught Kristoff's eye and smiled. She reached out across the table, offering a hand for him to take. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes it quite happily. "Do you have anything you would like to discuss on the agenda for the next few days?" He thinks of plans and what's in his lab right now and holds her hand a little more tightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff chuckles just a little. "Is it too much that I hope she is going to settle him a little?" And then it's time to order and he'll have the soupl and....was that a sound, somewhere on the edge of hearing? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whatever it was Cassie thought she heard something too. She looked around again. Easy girl, not every noise meant disaster was about to strike. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

His hand stayed on hers.

As best he could, he ran through something annoyingly inelegant in his head, concentrated, and didn't seem to notice anything Extremely Obviously Mystical going on. Good. Seriously, Kristoff sometimes had a bit of a 'love the magicians, hate the magic' viewpoint.

He opened his eyes again, first looked at her, then peered out the window. "Cassandra, do you...?"

	And there it is. Quite visible outside the restaurant's front picture window. No taller than Kristoff just yet, but stomping down the street. A stimuloid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cassie said nothing. She was perfectly still save for the sudden trembling of her hand. Still without speaking, she stood and ran to the bathroom, all ready pulling out her Fantastic Four uniform. Hardly a minute later Stature was out of the restaurant and on the street. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The figure turned towards her as she came out, plodding forward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kristoff followed outside shortly afterward, having activated the remote he kept onhand to bring his armor and weaponry to a nearby roof as soon as possible. Those things just didn't fit under dinner clothing.

None of the devices he was carrying were immediately useful for disrupting kinetic energy signatures. Of course.

There was one thing he had to say, though. "Probably a HYDRA reprogramming again."

Devel, he hoped it was another HYDRA plot. Except for the part of him that didn't, in the hopes of homicide.

	HYDRA or not, Cassie wanted it gone. "Who sent you?" Cassie grew taller and lunged forward. She tried to grab the stimuloid. How she wished she could have just punched it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The Master," it said, side-stepping seemingly clumsily yet more effectively than one would like. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kristoff's stomach was twisted with cold hatred at the confirmation, but there was nothing he could do yet but get in position to get his equipment. "Cassandra, try to stay in front of it." Delay was good. Plus he just sort of wanted to reassure her he was there, that he'd help as soon as he could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	staturity 2009-07-20 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	"No problem." Cassie moved with the Growing Man, not trying to get a hold of him just yet. She needed to wait for the right moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After some attempted side-stomping, Growing Man charged at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
