The Trick is to Keep Breathing
As usual after dealing with something related to Temujin, Anya hid out in the lab. This was the lab at the condo because she didn't have access to the lab at the Avengers' mansion. Though with Jarvis' help, she did manage to get her suit out. It wasn't a problem getting it to the condo. There may have been a very short fast flight to the roof of the building.

Dad said she couldn't use the suit (the short flight wasn't using it per se, it was transporting it), but he didn't say anything about working on it, or building herself a new suit. So she locked herself away in the lab and started working on her old suit and started building a new one. She needed to be prepared for the next time Temujin showed his face.

She slept an hour here and there. An hour of sleep allowed her to rest, but it wasn't enough time for the nightmares to start. As usual she lost track of time and days. Mom delivered food on a regular basis. If she hadn't, Anya would have forgotten to eat.

Anya stared blankly at the new set of boots. There was something she wanted to do, but she couldn't think at the moment.

	Its been a while since he's seen Anya. By the time he finished his Christmas errand she was gone. As such, Iason flies directly to her current residence, hovering down to proper level to knock on the door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Natasha had been trying to catch up on reading her email when the knock came. She didn't look up, but reached in between the cushions of the couch and pulled out a gun. She looked at the balcony door. The gun was returned to the couch and she got up to answer the door. "Iason. What brings you here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The caution doesn't surprise him in the least, and he's in no hurry. "I did not get a chance to see Anya at the holiday, and thought I'd come and see if she wanted to join me for lunch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-29 07:34 am UTC (link)
	"Oh. Come in," Natasha said as she stepped out of the doorway. At least it was nothing world shattering or bad. "She's in the lab, but I'm sure she'd welcome company. How are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"I'm quite well, thank you? And yourself?" he asks, floating into the house proper. "If she's in the middle of something I'm not in any hurry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-29 07:43 am UTC (link)
	"Very well, thank you," she said. And she was. Her marriage was doing well and all of the kids were well. She couldn't ask for much more. "She's been hiding away in the lab for the past few days and it's about time she comes out for some fresh air. I think she's working on a new suit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 07:45 am UTC (link)
	He can't help but frown a little at that. The components for a suit still required Stark technology. Technically probably a violation of her probationary period, but not his place to say anything really. And not that surprising. It was Anya. And a bored Anya. "I don't want to violate the privacy of the lab. Want to call her up, if she's not too busy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-29 07:49 am UTC (link)
	Natasha nodded. "Sure. It will only take a moment." And a little arguing, but it was her daughter. "Would you like something to drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 07:58 am UTC (link)
	"If you have something particularly interesting, I would love one." Water wasn't a necessity, but he loved new experiences. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-29 08:06 am UTC (link)
	"Not really," she said. "The place is pretty much normal and dull when it comes to drinks." For good reason. "We have milk, water, iced tea, a few juices and maybe some soda. Depends how many times James has raided the fridge today." Growing boys consumed a lot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I've tried all of those, thank you. I'll be fine waiting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-12-29 08:12 am UTC (link)
	"Suit yourself," Natasha smiled. "I'll go call the little mad genius." Natasha went over to an intercomm and buzzed the lab. "You have company up here." Simple and right to the point. It would save an argument. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 08:14 am UTC (link)
	He nods pleasantly and settles back to wait. That, at least, ought to get Anya's curiosity up. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Anya appeared in the living room a few moments later. She was a bit surprised to see it was Iason and not Steve. "Hey Iason," she said when she saw him. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hello, Anya. Its good to see you. We've missed you. And in particular, I missed you during the holidays. I was hoping you might join me for lunch?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-29 08:33 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "It's good to see you too. I've been a little busy." That was Anya talk for 'I've been hiding'. "Lunch? What time is it?" She looked around for a clock. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 08:34 am UTC (link)
	"Ten thirty in the morning. We can be almost anywhere in the country by noon. Your choice, I'll bring you back as well, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-29 08:37 am UTC (link)
	"Really? Wait, what day is it?" It was an honest question. In a room with no windows it was easy to lose track of time and days. "Lunch would be great. Burgers. I could really go for some burgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 08:39 am UTC (link)
	"It is the 28th of December." he replies, seemingly entirely understanding of how easy it is to lose track of time. He's certainly lost enough of them jumping between the empires, each with their own calendars, and planets with differing solar cycles. "Absolutely. Pick the place and we'll go for burgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Already? Huh." Time did fly when you weren't paying attention. "There's a few really good places here in New York." Anya thought about it for a moment. One of the things she missed about not being able to use her suit was the inability to fly. "If you don't mind a little travel, there's a great place in Chicago." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 08:51 am UTC (link)
	"I arrived early specifically because you often seem to prefer visiting places you don't normally get to when given the chance. Chicago is not a problem at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're a doll. Let me get changed. I've been in these clothes for a few days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 08:54 am UTC (link)
	"Of course. When I heard you were in the lab, I assumed as much. We're not in any hurry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-12-29 08:58 am UTC (link)
	"I am. Now that I've stopped working, I realized I'm actually hungry." She grinned. "I'll be right back." She hurried off to her room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-29 09:00 am UTC (link)
	He settles in to wait again, not terribly surprised that she's more than a little hungry. He's used to her just out of the lab from the long time working on the hydrobase, after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
