Deck the Lab
The labrats, Tim included, loved the holidays. At least the ones where they were allowed to decorate. They had a ton of decorations and they took a day to decorate the lab. This year was no exception. The lab was decorated to the hilt. They had a fireplace, with a real fire, a recliner and a Christmas tree in the middle. They even had holographic projections to turn the lab into Santa's Workshop. Snow fell all around the lab and went from flakes directly to gas, not leaving any water anywhere.

They even had a remote controlled Santa with sleigh and reindeer flying around the lab. Once in awhile it would buzz close to someone's head and then zip away. All of the labrats wore santa hats or elf ears. Humorous Christmas songs played on the sound system.

Someone had even put some mistletoe over the main entrance to the lab.

	"Just for the holidays. We'll claim he's a practical decoration." She adjusted the awesome santa hat and looked around. "Please tell me the Christmas party is going to be here. I want to see what party food you guys come up with to go with this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I dunno where the party is going to be," he admitted. "And we're not good cooks. Microwaves are about all that we can handle and even then there had been some incidents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A fact that will never cease to amuse me considering many of you know your chem and that's really what cooking is," she chuckled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, baking is chemistry. Cooking is an entirely different beast. I can cook well enough to not starve, but never close to being able to cook for a party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pfft. They both are. You just say otherwise because you can't do one of them," she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No they aren't," he said. "Cooking is more about paying attention, which we can't do very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-12 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Doesn't change the base of it though," Lena smirks. "And you boys can pay attention. Just...on very selective things and a defined period of time. Cooking clearly just doesn't hold your interest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm more for eating," he said and patted his stomach. Tim wasn't a small guy. He had muscles, but it also showed that he enjoyed a good meal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 12:29 am UTC (link)
	"Aren't we all," she laughs. "Look forward to Christmas dinners?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Tim grinned. "Yes. My grandmother makes the best turkey." A thought struck him. "Would you like to come?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Lena just blinked in shock, completely taken aback. That she hadn't expected. "B-...but isn't it a family dinner? I'd be intruding..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"You wouldn't be intruding and my grandmother and mother makes enough food to feed a small army. Which by now the family may qualify as, but there's always room for another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I see but it's still...I mean..." Okay, she'll admit it, she was floundering here. She'd feel bad saying no and bad saying yes because it did feel like intruding. At least to her. "That's very nice of you Tim but...are you sure because? Christmas is about family and it's really okay..." Oh darn it, Tim had knocked her off her game with that surprise and now she was just gesturing emptily with her hands trying to say something comprehensible.

	"Do I need to have Deputy Director Dugan order you to attend?" he teased. "You are family. You're in SHIELD and SHIELD is part of my family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 01:09 am UTC (link)
	"Nonono!" She waved her hands frantically. "Getting ordered by one of your bosses to a dinner is embarrassing. I'll go, I'll go," she finally smiles. "And honestly, your family is pretty darn huge then Tim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 01:22 am UTC (link)
	"Relax," he said. "I'm teasing you. We are an Irish Catholic family. Of course it's going to be big." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"Hard to relax at the image of DD Dugan showing up in your lab to order you to dinner. And just pointing out Tim that if you count all of SHIELD as your family, that table is going to be overflowing. And you'll get no dessert because someone will get to it first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"I see your point. SHIELD's been a part of my family for a long time. Probably why it feels like family to me." He smiled. "I eat dessert first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Makes sense, you grew up around it. For most of the rest of us it's a dream job." She has to tease. "So if I come I should sit next to you? That's where the dessert will be closest to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	Tim grinned. "Yes. I'll make sure I steal some for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"You're the best," she laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Naw." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"It's that or teddy bear. Pick your battles Tim," Lena teased. "Thank you again for the hat by the way. I like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not a teddy bear," he automatically said. "You're welcome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"So you say each time," she smiles and shakes her head. "I might keep it for the season, it's quite nice. Should've been more careful about giving it out." She's teasing of course and would give Tim back the hat when she left the lab or, if she couldn't find him then, the next day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
