Trust me, it's for your own good. (Tim)
Alice did not like how mopey her cousin had been lately. She knew Tim was feeling a little blue lately, and she was going to fix that. She'd made a call to the Baxter Building, and set Tim up on a blind date with Valeria Richards of the Future Foundation. She was cute. She was nerdy, and she loved science. Perfect for Tim. He deserved a nice girl. And if he if also got laid in the process, then that was pretty awesome for him, too.

Alice made her way to the lab when she knew that Tim would be there by himself. She walked in, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey, Timmy!"

Nope. Totally not up to something at all, not her.

	"Well the pay in the private sector was better, but I have a lab and they let me blow things up. I probably get away with a lot more than if I were in the private sector. I have great coworkers and we even manage to have a little fun once in awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Valeria laughed. "That sounds like fun. And something my brother Franklin or my cousin Ben would do." She flushed a little. "And now I realize that I spend entirely too much of my free time in the lab. Until one of my teammates drags me out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is fun and I have a long list of things I am not allowed to do anymore because of all that fun. When I do finally get out of the lab, I go rock climbing or scuba diving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
