What If: When We Begin
Anya removed her helmet and stepped out of the suit of armor. She was drenched from head to toe with sweat despite the suit's environmental controls and the shorts and tank top she wore were plastered to her skin. Anya did always tend to run a bit on the hot side and it had been quite a workout. She sat down and straddled the bench in the locker room. She laid back and stared up at the ceiling.

All of her limbs felt rubbery and she didn't think she could move. She didn't want to move. This bench was nice and comfy. She could stay here a day or two.

She sighed and knew she would have to move. She had things to do. There was a new suit of armor that needed to be worked on.

	Anya kissed her. "It's not important. They're not important. You're not messing things up. You make me happy. That's all that matters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kisses her back. "Ok, I'll try and deal with that. I know you make me happy, this is everything I've been hoping for... without thinking it could ever really happen. So I guess I'm trying to find the dark cloud behind the silver lining. So... what changed, anyway? I thought you were straight, and pretty actively so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not that actively. Not with that whole mess." That was about as much as she was going to talk about Temujin. Anya thought about it for a moment. "I just realized that no one else has gotten to me like you have. Toni's my best friend and I love her, but it's not like you. I just realized that you were what I wanted. I still think guys are nice to look at, but there won't be a connection like there is with you."

"I can't argue that any, be kind of self defeating if I did anyway." She giggles and blushes a bit. "So... you do realize, I mean, I don't think I'm ready to go too far yet... snuggling is good... but when, uhm, we do go further, if we do... I don't really... uhm, know anything. I've had one date in my life, kissed one other girl. I know I like girls, but... I'm not even exactly sure how this is supposed to work."

	"I think the best thing would be to take it slow. Just let things happen and not force anything. I'm not experienced as much as you think," she said. "Sex is nice, but I'm not in a rush. We'll move as fast as you're comfortable moving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know you're not that experienced and all, but some is more than none, but I've probably spent more time girl-watching, so I guess its something. Yeah, slow is good. I just wanted to make sure all was ok there." he replies, giving Anya a gentle squeeze. "Thanks for understanding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-24 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Anya kissed her. "Of course. Anything for you." She smiled. "Next question." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She kisses her back. Its hard to keep worrying with Anya's general 'screw what people think' attitude. She has a feeling that this will happen - the Rogers worries, the Stark, not so much.

"Less question, more request. If we're going to make this work, we're both going to need to bend a little. I'm not the social butterfly you are, I'd be content to work out three or four times a day and study files and all. But I'll try and be better about getting out, doing stuff, putting in appearances with you. I know I'm going to have to deal with photographers and paparazzi and attention - it'll be tough, but you're worth it. For that, I'm going to ask you a big, big favor... can you try and tone it down a little? I don't want you to totally not be yourself, but less sneaking into places we shouldn't be, go easier on the drinking - don't drive if you're going to drink. I can deal with a lot of it, but I am who I am. I don't want to lose you, and I don't want to be attached to a giant Stark scandal... think we can find some middle ground? I'll try if you will."

	"I will try. It's hard not being a Stark, but I am a Romanov as well. I will try to let that side out more." Rogers and Stark were like oil and water most of the time. Anya recognized this and she would do anything for Sarah. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-24 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Sarah would do anything for Anya - though sometimes 'for Anya' means helping Toni babysit and keep her out of trouble, not always what Anya wanted. "I like all your sides. I'd just like to try and be less hapless tagalong on one side... my compromise, and less babysitter... your end, and just be your girlfriend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's all I ask, sweetie. I'll try and make it worth your while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-25 07:09 am UTC (link)
	Anya smiled and kissed her. "I know you will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, I know this is going to sound silly... I know the kind of things you like to do when going out. What do you like when staying in? I mean, stuff like this? I haven't gotten to see you in this kind of capacity so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-25 07:34 am UTC (link)
	"I don't do downtime well," she said. "Being a workaholic is part of being a Stark. We're happy when we're working." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-25 07:36 am UTC (link)
	"We're going to need to fix that. I'm sure we can find something, between snuggling, hot tubs, movies... something to keep you tied down now and then for some quiet time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-25 07:48 am UTC (link)
	"I wouldn't mind you tying me down," she grinned. She knew that wasn't how Sarah meant it, but she had to go for the joke. She was a Stark after all. "All those sounds great. I promise I won't spend so much time in the lab." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She laughs. "Careful, I haven't actually tried any of this stuff, who knows, maybe I'll like tying you down and spanking you." she winks, finding it easier to be a little more playful now. "Easy enough to schedule, I'm a workout addict, you have your lab time. We both have our addictions, and we just schedule some time together around it. Even if you only were in the lab while I was training, it'd still be six, seven hours a day of fiddling with your tech."

	"I guess we'll just have to see if you like it or not," Anya grinned. "Sarah, dear, I've lost /days/ in the lab. Six or seven hours is barely enough time to get started." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-25 08:27 am UTC (link)
	"I know, same way when I have down time, and villain dossiers, tactical readouts, simulations, obstacle courses and eighty-five ton training weight sets, I can lose days. I fully expect you to come drag me out of the gym sometimes, and I'll do the same with the lab. You can get back to it the next day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-25 08:49 am UTC (link)
	"I will drag you out of the gym. I promise." She sealed it with a kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-25 09:20 am UTC (link)
	She kisses her back gladly. "And I'll get you out of the lab, but we both have our own things, so you don't need to worry about losing all your time with your tinker toys. So... you mentioned finding out what I like... not that there's any rush, but what do you like. I'm curious now. You know..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am not going to tell you Miss Rogers. I am going to challenge you to find out on your own." Yes, Starks are bastards. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're a brat, you know that?" she responds, sticking her tongue out. She doesn't get this informal often. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-02-25 09:56 am UTC (link)
	Anya grinned and laughed. "I believe the correct word is bastard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
