From the kitchen to jail? (Buck)
Anya always looked forward to Saturday and her time with Buck. This weekend instead of going out they were going to stay in, eat dinner and watch a movie or two. Buck also mentioned needing to talk about something. That worried her a bit, but she didn't think it was anything bad. The two of them saw each other once a week and Anya thought things were going well.

The Thunderbolts' chef had the day off and Anya had to opt for takeout. She went and picked it up and brought it back to HQ. She went to take a shower and came back to find the food gone. Someone had walked off with it. Dinner was missing and now Anya had to make something. Scrambled eggs it was. They weren't too complicated and she could manage them, right?

It started out well enough. Everything was going smoothly and Anya had started thinking that this was going to go smoothly. It couldn't last though. She got a little too confident and decided to make muffins.

That's when the oven exploded (she quite didn't know how that happened) and kitchen appliances and gadgets went flying everywhere including out the gaping hole in the wall.

Thankfully Anya wasn't in the kitchen but had to use the restroom.

She stood in the doorway of the kitchen looking at the destruction and wondering how that exactly happened.

	He shows up to an explosion. Shrapnel flying everywhere. He promptly assumes the worst and, by habit, goes into stealth mode to have a look around, in case. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya stood there scratching her head. The how was a complete mystery. This was almost like the cereal incident. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The shift is abrupt enough, and he initially approached openly enough to be spotted by a neighbor. A helpful neighbor.

So now its not just an explosion. Its an explosion, followed by tips to the police of mysterious men, a little over six feet tall, sneaking around - right after an explosion.

Unaware of this, Buck finally makes his way in, when he doesn't spot any signs of demolitions or other people skulking about.

"Anya?!"

	She jumped at the sound of a voice. She turned and gave him a smile. "Don't ask. I have no clue." Then he was greeted with a deep kiss and a hug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the hug and kiss. "Its you. And a kitchen. I wasn't going to ask. I'm just glad you're ok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was in the bathroom," she said. "Don't tell Toni. She'll /never/ let me live this down." Anya stared at the damage for a few more seconds. "So I guess we should get some takeout." The explosion and the damage didn't bother her. Buck was here and that made everything better. She looked forward to Saturdays more and more with each passing week. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Toni is going to find out one way or another, but it won't be through me. We... should probably go out for dinner, and call someone to assess the damage. I think part of your stove is out front." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-08-14 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Anya sighed. "She still brings up the cereal incident. Still. I'd bet money it'd be the first thing she tells my kids." Anya shook her head. "With the force of the explosion and the density and the mass of the stove, I'd say it's probably half way down the block. Or at least a few buildings over." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Its possible, but this may have topped it. Don't know. And... well, there were pieces. Not sure how much was wall... plumping... how much was appliance. But I had to do some dodging on the way in here. It was... an impressive explosion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know us Starks. When we do something we do it big." "Freeze!" came a shout from behind them. When they turn they'll see armed police pointing weapons at them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At the sound, he almost goes into reactive mode. But at the last split-instant, he remembers where he is, that he has no smoke grenades, and that those are police. Instead, he puts his hands up. "Officers, we can explain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was just a little kitchen accident," Anya said as she raised her hands. "Don't move!" one shouted. "Don't even speak!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-08-14 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Buck nods, putting his hands on top of his head. They'll work this out. Til then, he's been taught enough respect for authorities, and enough police procedure, to try and make this as smooth as possible. It can only help them down the road. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is ridiculous," Anya said as she put her hands on her head. "Absolutely ridiculous." "Keep quiet," one said while another started putting handcuffs on both of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-08-14 01:25 am UTC (link)
	"Just relax, it will be alright." Buck offers in her direction, then firmly shuts his mouth as soon as any of the cops even look his way again. Not trying to make waves - they can straighten this out at the station, he's sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-08-14 12:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Goddard, call my lawyer," Anya said as the handcuffs were fastened on her wrists. This was totally unacceptable. Getting arrested for blowing up a kitchen. Toni was /never/ going to let her live this down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-08-15 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Buck nods his approval to that much, but doesn't otherwise resist. He'll want to hear what all they think they're arresting them for, and then see what kind of resources are needed here. Odds are, a Stark lawyer will be plenty. His mom and his aunts are going to love this though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thirty minutes later they were sitting in adjoining jail cells. Anya's lawyer was out in the office area talking to the cops. She was honestly surprised that her father hadn't showed up yet. She sat with her elbow on her knee and her chin in her hand. "I'm sorry," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It'll be fine. Nothing on our records, just misunderstandings and overzealous cops. Its ok. At least it was an eventful date." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I still feel badly about it," she said. "I was trying to make us something to eat and have a nice evening with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-08-16 04:16 am UTC (link)
	He leans back against the wall with a shrug. "We still have the evening together... no real choice even. And now we have a story. It'll be alright, and we can go for a nice dinner once your lawyers finish with these guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-08-16 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Sitting in a jail cell wasn't exactly what I had planned. I was planning on starting with dinner and then some quality time together." Anya shook her head and had to chuckle a bit. "We're not going to hear the end of this. Not to mention your dad is going to give me that 'you're a bad influence' look." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-08-16 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Not what I'd planned either, but at least its memorable. And yes, my dad will disapprove. My mom might bring you cupcakes to make up for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2012-08-16 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Memorable is right," she said with a sigh. "I don't think your dad has ever approved of anything I've done. It's the Starkness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
