This. This is what happens when I leave the lab.
Carrying a rather large box with holes, Lena rushes through the hallway, walking at a very brisk pace and trying to catch that elevator just as it closes. Normally there was someone who did this part but they were out so she kept having to leave the lab to run around the place with things for the experiments.

	Josh had just turned the corner, about to get in the elevator himself when he sees Lena coming with purpose toward the elevator. He holds the door open. "In a hurry, Doctor?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yes yes. Let that door go Agent and we will have words. After I sic something on you," she rushed into the elevator then finally let herself relax. "Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wouldn't dream of it," he replied casually. When she was inside he let the door go. "No problem. Where ya headed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"16 floor. Could you press it for me? Hands are a little occupied." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure," and he does so. "What is all that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh just...stuff for experiments." She pauses as she figures out how much she can tell him. "Have to move on from the petri dish onto a model organism and all," Lena shrugs and taps the large plastic bin with air holes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes narrow. "You've got animals in there, don't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	She rolls her eyes as the elevator goes up. "I did say model organism. Plus...air holes. Aren't you observant today Agent?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	"It's my job," he says with dry humor. There's poisonous in there, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Another eye roll. "There's no such thing as a poisonous model organism Josh." Not that these ones wouldn't try to nibble fingers off though... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh huh," he replies unconvinced, and then the elevator's power cuts off. "...son of a bitch!" Josh gets out his comm. "This is Agent Hoskins, what the hell happened to the power!?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	"...Fuck," she mutters under her breath. "I should just never leave my lab. These things keep happening..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Somebody answer me!" Josh puts the comm away in disgust, muttering a few creatively chosen curses before turning to Lena. "Sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing for you to be sorry for. You didn't do anything to the elevator," she sighs. "My lab must be very protective of me if things like this happen when I leave it..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll have to wait until somebody gets off their ass and fixes this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Fun," she grumbled. At that moment there's noise and the sound of something being knocked over inside the plastic box. "Ugh no! Shoot, give me a sec to fix this." She lifts the lid to peek in and swears briefly. "Could you do me a favour and hold onto one I give you for a minute?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure..what am I holding?" Josh asks warily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't worry, they're cute." And aggressive, but she'd tell him that after. With gloved hands she reaches into the box, seems to try and catch something then stands up to hand Josh a deceptively innocent looking white mouse. "See? Cute as a button. Now don't let him loose please. Even if we are in an elevator." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Josh tentatively takes the mouse. Okay, he seems gentle enou- "Ow! Little bastard is biting me!" Somehow he manages to hang on to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah they are little bastards sometimes," she says casually as she adjusts things in the box. No way she was telling him these were mice for aggression studies. And not the control group. "But you've handled worse Agent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, but most of those times I could shoot 'em." Squirmy, violent son of a bitch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-03 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't shoot the little mice Josh." More rummaging in the box and a few squeaks. She glances at him to make sure the mouse was still fine, and said mouse decides it's time to try to nibble off his captor's finger. Okay, maybe that one had been one of the more aggressive ones... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-03 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Good God, woman! What are you going to do with these evil bastards!? Invade a small country!?" Josh kept a hold, thankful for Power Broker genes giving his skin more durability. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Of course not! Don't be silly. If I was to invade a country I would not use mice. Really. There are much better things to use. Besides, the point of a model organism is to test in a system that is more manageable and better understood in order to see how it would work in something more advanced." Because human studies were a different kettle of fish. She couldn't tell him what her lab was testing right now. Fury's orders.

	"Right, right, but are you almost done? There are limits to how much this guy can bite me before I start bleeding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-04 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"Okay okay, don't rush me." Actually she'd been taking her time. "Now drop him in that section. And if you knock any of the dividers down I will make you hold multiple mice while I slowly fix it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-04 12:21 am UTC (link)
	"You're a sadist, Dr. Jessen." He /carefully/ puts the mouse in the section she indicated. The mouse and Josh take a few moments to glare at each other. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-04 12:23 am UTC (link)
	"Aww, I'm glad you two got along so well. I should get you to help in the lab once in a while Agent Hoskins," she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-04 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"If it's all the same I think I'll pass." Josh examines his hand. "Damn, those are going to sting for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-04 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Hmm...well these mice were for an aggression study, it's to be expected. Don't worry, they're the lab strain so you won't catch anything." She leaves the box on the elevator floor and goes to give him a quick hug. "Though thanks for the help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-04 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"That's reassuring." he'd been about to make a sarcastic remark when his train of thought is interrupted by the hug. "I..you're welcome, Lena." And he hugs back, but not too long. Professionalism and all that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well it was a big help." She leaves the box with the mice on the floor because as long as they were stuck here there was no need to do carry it. "So is there a series of stuck-in-an-elevator games? I think we need those right about now. Seriously, you work for SHIELD and think 'oh top notch tech around here, everything must run smoothly'. And then the freaking elevator breaks down."

	"If there are I don't know them." Josh rolls his eyes. "Tell me about it. I imagine writers would have a field day chronicling all our little misadventures." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-04 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I bet some already are having one," she grumbles then pointedly stares at where she knows a security camera is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-04 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	Josh looks at the camera. "Hope you guys got some entertainment out of that," he mutters. "Breath a word of it and I'll make your lives miserable." Josh was certain they got the message. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-05 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Or we can just accidentally let some of the aggressive mice escape in their direction..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-05 12:22 am UTC (link)
	That gets a smile out of him. "I do love how your mind works at times, Doctor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-05 12:31 am UTC (link)
	She chuckled. "Well you see, if my mice do that to someone I do like...imagine what they'd do to someone I'm unhappy with Agent." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2012-10-05 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"Good point. I'd hate to see how you treat your enemies," he teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-10-05 01:21 am UTC (link)
	"It just makes me all that more of a reliable ally. Why do you think they hired me," she joked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
