Moving Meditation (open)
Anya wasn't hiding, but she wasn't exactly making an effort to be social. Since Sarah and Rose left she didn't feel like interacting with people. There had been one exception, but outside of spending a night with Iason, she didn't see much of anyone.

School was officially over as of today. Graduation ceremonies were earlier this evening and now that she didn't have to study or do any more school work, she was free to work and to work on projects. Which was exactly what she was doing now.

Her latest project started when she had taken a quick trip out to the Hydrobase a few days ago to get a few parts out of storage. The place hadn't been used as a base in years and had only been used for storage. Once she was there she started poking around, an idea formed in her mind. She looked around and decided that she could definitely use it as a private lab. She should ask her father, but why ask permission when you can ask forgiveness?

So she started working. Cleaning was the first order of business. The place had a layer of dust almost inch thick. It was hard work and very dirty, but she had managed to get most of the base cleaned out. The next order of business had been moving the items in storage out of the way. That required use of her suit.

Once that was done, the fun stuff started. Working on the computer systems. The hardware was outdated and the software...gods. Some of the computers were running Windows 3.11 for Workgroups. Anya almost cried.

Tonight she packed a cooler of food and set off for the Hydrobase.

She was planning on holing up here for a few days. She let Jarvis know where she was going to be and sent a text to her parents. She planned on working on upgrading the computer hardware for the next few days. The software would be next. Music blared as she pulled out circuit boards and replaced them with new ones.

	"And after that I can work," she grinned. "Unless a better opportunity presents itself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He grins back. "After that you're going to bed and to sleep for at least six hours if I have to tuck you in and watch over you myself. I've studied enough to know, genetics aside, humans can't subsist on one hour of sleep in twenty-four hours for more than a day or two. If you actually sleep it, I'll bring you breakfast in bed and fly you back over here. Deal? No more work after lunch until after breakfast tomorrow. Fair trade?"

	Anya smiled. "Only on one condition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have a hunch. What's your condition?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 02:52 am UTC (link)
	Anya smiled and kissed him. "You tuck me in and spend the night with me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-06-05 02:57 am UTC (link)
	He returns the kiss, then nods. "Certainly, but however long you spend in bed, six hours of it have to be sleeping." he replies with a small grin. "Apparently I'll be there to make sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 03:02 am UTC (link)
	"Six hours of sleep, gotcha." He didn't say they had to be six consecutive hours. She honestly didn't remember the last time she slept six consecutive hours. "It's a deal." She sealed it with another kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-06-05 03:05 am UTC (link)
	He returns the kiss, content with this arrangement. Long as she gets her sleep before going back to work, he'll figure he's fulfilled his side of Anya-sitting. Not that its entirely unpleasant duty from his perspective. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She pulled away and smiled. "Now to get back to work before I get distracted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-06-05 03:20 am UTC (link)
	He grins and nods, heading back for the upper decks. "You got it, see you at lunch time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Anya smiled and watched him go. Re-energized, she returned to her seat and started working on the computers once again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Once it was quite certain that Iason was out of the room, there was the sound of applause. "That, girl, was smooth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Heat scorched her cheeks. Oh God! Busted. "You're sneaky, I'll give you that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-05 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Toni smiled at that. "I've had plenty of practice. Though I think I could have stomped in in the suit and you wouldn't have heard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"Not true," Anya said. "He's not that much of a distraction." She shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-05 03:55 am UTC (link)
	"Girl, the boy is fine and you know it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not denying that. I'm saying that it's not serious. We have an understanding and we're just having a fling. Nothing more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-05 04:17 am UTC (link)
	Toni laughed. "Better than me, at any rate. Any boy I bring home, my dad just shows his gun collection and then they're no fun for the rest of the night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"This is why you need to stay at the mansion. Your dad isn't around to scare off playmates." Her mouth twitched. "Talk to Iason. I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige you in a fling. Even if your dad found out, Iason's immortal. A gun shot wouldn't kill him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-05 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Toni chuckled at that. "Sounds like a better idea some days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Anya looked around. "Though in a week or two, we'll be able to live here. After we get the place fixed up of course." "Did you tell your dad about the suit yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-05 05:20 am UTC (link)
	She looked a little guilty. "Not yet. Trying to figure out how to bring it up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-06-05 05:24 am UTC (link)
	"Want me to tell him? He won't kill me. He knows my dad will kill him if he does." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	toni_rhodes 2009-06-05 05:37 am UTC (link)
	"Nah, I'll manage," Toni said. "He had to know this was coming, sooner or later. Especially after the whole mutant thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
