Tim's lab was cleaned out of all personal stuff and he carried the last few items in a bag slung over his shoulder. The beer fridge would be dismantled and put into storage and kept there when he returned. If he returned. Maybe life's path wouldn't bring him back this way.

There was one last thing he had to do.

He knocked lightly on the door to Lena's lab.

Lena had, like when any non-work stress came up, holed herself up in her lab. All this...feelings stuff was just not her forte, and really how was she to react to all this stuff? Kidnapping was bad enough, but there was a reason she was just not all that comfortable with romance and relationships. So that meant hermit-like living for a few weeks. She hadn't seen much of anyone really, there was too much work to do, especially on that super-soldier stuff.

At the knock she sighed and got up to go answer the door and unlock it. She was a bit surprised to see Tim standing there, but figured he might be trying to get her out of the lab again, that man seemed to have a mission to get lab rats to see sunshine once in a while. "Hey Tim, what brings you over? If this is for good coffee because you're out and the caf is not an options then you're lucky you're on my list of people I like."

	Tim gave her a half smile. "Can I come in?" he asked. He didn't want to discuss this in the hall. He wanted a quiet exit from SHIELD. Quiet enough that he didn't tell anyone else except Alice. Now Lena. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure," she smiled. "Come in, mind the desk clutter and let me get you a cup of coffee." She let him in and indicated a chair. "What have you been up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-20 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"No thanks," he said to the chair. "I'll pass on the coffee too. I came to say goodbye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-20 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	She got him a cup anyway. "They're sending you abroad already after that last fiasco? Huh, that was sooner than I thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-20 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	Tim shook his head. "No. I'm leaving SHIELD." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-21 12:35 am UTC (link)
	She stopped mid-stride back to her chair. "...Yeah, and I'm royalty in Monaco. Seriously Tim, you're one of those black diaper babies, and anyway it's not like anyone ever really leaves SHIELD." She sat down in her chair and set a cup of coffee in front of him. "What brought all this on? Is it finalized?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-21 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"I'm on my way out the door now," he said and dropped his bag on the floor. He sat down in the chair and picked up the cup of coffee. "I wanted to swing by and say goodbye to you. You're a great friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-21 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Well that's...sudden." Though then again she hasn't been out of the lab in a while so...maybe it wasn't. But still. "You're a great friend too Tim, but it's not like we can never see each other. You have my civie number right? And you never said what brought this on, it's a bit...unexpected." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-21 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I do and you have mine, right? I'll send you my address when I get settled in a new place." Tim looked away. "I need some space." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-21 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"I do. Oh yes, you didn't have your own place before, I keep forgetting that quirk of yours. We'll have to coordinate for coffee or dinner or something okay Tim?" She gave him a concerned look and paused. "...You told her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-21 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	Tim nodded. "We will. You can't get rid of me that easily." Tim looked down at the floor. "I did. I got the 'I love you like a brother line'," he said. "I resigned from SHIELD because I need some space and time away from her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-22 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Pfft, please, like I want to." And like he could get out of SHIELD that easily. He'd be back, she was sure of it. "I'm sorry Tim," she said sincerely and leaned over to give him a hug. "Think you'll be back once you get some time away?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-22 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Tim returned the hug. "Thanks. I don't know," he said. "Depends on how much I like it in the private sector." "Just promise me you'll get out of the lab once in awhile without me dragging you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-22 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm betting you'll be back, don't make me lose money," she teased. "Eh well...promises I can't keep and all. Can I count Val dragging me out once in a while? For your peace of mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-23 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"You can count that," he said. "But give me a call once in awhile and we'll go out." He gave her a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-23 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Promise I will, you've got to do the same though," she insisted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-23 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"I promise," he said. "Scout's honor. Though I guess I shouldn't mention I was never a boy scout, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-23 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Not for long, I'd expect they'd have kicked you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-23 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Tim laughed. "You're probably right. Take care of yourself, Lena. I'll see you around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-23 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"Fine, don't have the coffee, I'll pretend not to be hurt," she joked. "You too Tim, don't blow too much up. They won't take as kindly to it as we do." She smiled fondly at him. She'd miss Tim, but he'd be back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-23 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"I don't want to linger," he said. If he lingered, he could run into Sammy and he didn't want to do that. "Next time we see each other we'll have more than coffee and it'll be one me." Tim kissed her cheek. "I won't blow too much up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-23 12:53 am UTC (link)
	"Alright, I'll release you," she smiled and got up. "If you really insist on that last part, but I'll see you around Tim." She gave him a kiss on the cheek back and another hug. "Best of luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-05-23 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"I'll see you Lena. Take care of yourself." He picked up his bag and went to the door. He took one last look back at her and then left. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-05-23 01:00 am UTC (link)
	She gives him a slightly sad smile and a wave when he looks back and then he's gone. Well...she hadn't expected that but whatever was best for Tim. She'd miss that big teddy bear, and walking into his lab to say hi and even being dragged out of her lab. Hopefully the private sector wouldn't woo him too much. It wouldn't be the same around here without Tim for long. (Reply to this)(Parent)
