Oh, Bea couldn't be having with this anymore. Not after nearly 71 hours.

She found the number, got on the phone. "Hello, is this Buck Rogers, in whatever century is appropriate?"

	Buck picks up the phone in the gym, then looks at the receiver a little curiously for a moment. "Yes it is... who is this, and how can I help you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"This is Beatrice Dayspring. I am quite possibly the most sensible person in Thunderbolts HQ, and let me tell you, Mr. Rogers, I am appalled by that fact. I'd appreciate your contributing the to maximum possible long-term sanity in this building by getting Anya Stark out of it for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ahh yes. Anya told me a bit about you and the rest of the collection there. A pleasure to sort of meet you, Miss Dayspring. Let me guess, she's holed up in her lab again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. For the past 71 hours. I'm sure whatever Dyson Sphere or perpetual-motion mousetrap she's working on is very cool, but I can only conclude that if this keeps up, she's going to turn into a cricket." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She wouldn't make a very good cricket, so we'll have to take steps to avoid that. Go knock on the door and let her know I'll be there for our dinner reservations in two hours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," Bea says, cheerfully emphatic. She happily knocks on the lab door and repeats just that. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Two hours was plenty of time to finish up what she was working on and get showered and dressed. Right? Anya just wanted to finish this project up. It had been /ages/ since she had a solid chunk of time to work in the lab.

Renaissance Technologies was taking off like a rocket and to say Anya was busy was an understatement. She spent her days between traveling and attending meetings. These past few days were the first where she didn't have to travel or have a meeting.

The operating system she wrote ages ago was finally ready to be released and sold. It'd be another product Ren Tech could market.

She focused on getting this done and then she'd go shower.

She'd still be in the lab when Buck arrived.

	He'll be leaning against one of the walls the next time she crawls out from under whatever that thing is she's working at. "Hey beautiful. Those oil stains really compliment your complexion, tie the whole outfit together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya jumped at the sudden sound of a voice. She had been /focused/ ie blocking everything else out while working on the code. She slid off the stool and went over to him. He got a hello in the form of a deep kiss. "Hi." There was a smile on her face. "Has it been two hours already?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-04 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Two and a half, I wanted to give you a bit of a cushion." he answers, after returning the deep kiss, complete with a brief dip. "I'm not going to even ask you what you're working on til we're en route. Go get wet and naked so you can get dressed to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kissed him again. Yup, boyfriend was definitely better than writing code. Though it was pretty close. "This may sound silly, but what day is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wednesday, you've been in the lab more than 73 hours." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-04-04 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	Anya managed to look a little sheepish. "Really? Huh. Didn't seem that long. I'm beginning to suspect there's a temporal anomaly centered on the lab." She gave him a quick kiss. "Fifteen minutes and I'll be showered and ready." She could get ready in under two hours with proper motivation and right now that proper motivation was here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-04 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	"That's why you have a timer in here, but ok, we'll go with temporal anomaly. Anyway, see you in fifteen minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't use it. It gets annoying when it goes off too many times." Anya grinned. "I'll walk you upstairs," she said as she hooked an arm around his. "Give you a chance to meet the natives if you want. Though I will warn you, we're all crazy. Some more than others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am somehow not surprised. I'd be tempted to threaten to spank you if you don't start keeping better track of time, but you might take it as encouragement." he teases back, following along with her. "And... yeah, Bea kind of gave that impression when I talked to her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya came downstairs twenty minutes later. Her hair was damp but still styled. She wore a pair of jeans, a stylish blouse, and a little makeup. "All set," she said with a grin. "Hey guys," she said to Manny and Martin. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-05 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, Beautiful." Buck responds, pulling her in to a quick kiss hello, keeping it pretty casual with the others about and all. "Your teammates have been doing a great job keeping me entertained. Some good people you've got here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-04-05 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	"They're all great," Anya said. She was proud of her team and they were a second family to her. "I only pick the best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-04-06 02:47 am UTC (link)
	"Hey Anya!" He waves back and looks cheerful. "We weren't too mean to him we promise." There's some beaming at the compliments. He knows he's not the best, far from it, but it was nice to be appreciated. And so far his time on the team had made him feel that way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hola, Anya," Manny said, waving with his empty hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You seem to have picked pretty well. Nice to meet you, guys. We should probably get to dinner though. Hopefully catch you around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-04-06 08:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I guess it's time to go. Don't wait up." Anya gave them a little wave. "Have a good night guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Adios! Enjoy yourselves!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You too," he waves. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
