Second Date
Aleks has been hard at work with a lot of the preparation, wanting everything to be perfect. He knows Lena wants to help - so he's made sure to stock up on things for a salad (with garlic croutons), and asked her to bring the wine or whatever she'd like.

On the main menu is pizza. Specifically, he's worked on cooking crushed garlic into the homemade crust, and building a garlic and oil sauce - for the garlic, chicken, garlic, bacon and garlic pizza. As the time of arrival approaches, he's working on the dough, with everything else laid out neatly for when its ready.

	There's a knock at his door and she doesn't need to ask what he's making. The garlic can be smelt from outside. Yep, already a good sign. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey, come on in." he calls, since his hands are full. "When you get a chance, there's salad fixings, and some garlic needs to be grated in with the cheese." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," she smiles as she enters. "Garlic? Well, you know...just a dash I suppose." That amused twinkle in her eye says otherwise. Obviously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Much as you want, just make sure you get some cheese in there too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh if I must," she sighs dramatically though she was a fan of cheese too. Just a moment to put her stuff down then she joins him in the kitchen. "I feel spoiled. I bet you went through a package of garlic already just for this," Lena laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2012-12-20 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"Indeed you must. Garlic doesn't hold the ingredients together nearly so well. And... a package is not doing it justice. We have a mixture here of packaged, grated, fresh chopped cloves... even in one oft-repeated ingredient, I went for a variety of textures and styles for contrast. Because, of course, spoiling you is part of the idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-21 01:09 am UTC (link)
	"Well you've certainly made headway on that front." Hands washed, she's ready to start on the grating. "So, as they say, how's life? Only the usual craziness since I last saw you?" Which, okay, wasn't long ago given his regular appointments, but with SHIELD life, a lot can happen quickly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got to come in for more testing. Enjoying some calm, because I had to push the craziness a lot more than I'm ok with during the nuclear disaster. But it could have been a lot worse. The Avengers got the missiles that launched. How's life in the lab been?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Glad to hear it went alright in the end and that you're recuperating." That pushing craziness bit had her worried but unlike most, she was actually in a position to see and do the tests to make sure he was doing better. "Well...chaotic to say the least. That mutant mayhem bit in New York? No sleep and a swamped with work lab. We could barely keep up. Of course when it died down for most people we were just getting started. New samples and info to work with and going through and redoing most of the files for a next time. There's still a backlog, I think this is one of the few nights off I've had in a while."

"That's a shame... will have to find you some more down time. As for recuperating... that's rarely a problem. Far as I can tell, the injuries didn't last long. The rad levels have just been yo-yoing. I wouldn't be here away from the labs if your peers hadn't cleared it though. Just have to report back in for more first thing in the morning. Missed a lot of the details of the mutant chaos amidst the missile stuff... hopefully the documenting and testing won't take you too much longer?"

"Glad to hear, sorry I haven't been able to do your tests myself lately. You never know what will happen around here. As for the backlog...well I don't think it'll be done soon, there are details I'd like to go over given the chance, but I think with the extra lab assistants Fury got lended to me at least the workload should get more reasonable soon. I can't complain to be honest, as much work as this is we're getting a lot of new stuff to work with and it's just been like one giant christmas present. I've got so many projects I want to start on it's going to be hard to decide what to pick first."

"You've got nothing to apologize for. Much as I love our conversations and all while I'm all strapped down and hooked up to all the machines, its still mostly routine testing. At least til something goes wrong. You're one of the best brains they've got. Sounds exciting though, anything you want to gloat over? Because I'm good at listening to the mad scientist rants."

	Lena blushed and waved off the compliment, she wasn't very good at taking genuine ones honestly. "Watch out about unleashing nerd rants. Once you do...oh they may never end." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2013-01-08 04:44 am UTC (link)
	That gets a grin. "But you make such a hot mad scientist. I might be ok with that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-01-08 06:45 am UTC (link)
	"That your evil plan? Get me ranting so you have an excuse to stare at the mad scientist?" It was easier to snark than to take a compliment. "Not that well thought out if I end up yapping your ear off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
