America's Favorite Pastime
The week had been a busy one for Anya and she needed some major downtime. Classes had loaded her down with homework and she had personal projects that needed to be done. Upgrades for Darlene, upgrades for Darwin and Schrodinger and upgrades for the computer systems in the Thunderbolts Headquarters. She still had to find time to take a trip to the West Coast to upgrade the computers at the Defenders' Headquarters. All of this translated into a week with very little sleep. She was in dire need of that downtime.

The best way to spend downtime was with her amazing boyfriend.

Anya had made arrangements earlier in the week and when classes were over on Friday, she rocketed to New York. The game started at 7pm, but they had to be there quite a bit earlier than that. Anya grabbed a quick shower, dressed in a shirt and jeans and slipped on her pair of Doc Marten boots. She had told Steve they had plans for the evening, but she hadn't elaborated on what those plans were. Starks could be devious.

With a smile on her face and a bounce in her step, she went to find Steve.

	Steve's response was no less enthusiastic. "Hello yourself, Gorgeous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ready to go?" she asked. Now that she was here, all the stress and sleepless nights of the past week were forgotten. Everything else disappeared when she was with him and she could forget about the rest of the world for awhile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Always," he said. "But you said you had plans for us." The last part was added with a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Later, my love," she said and added an eyebrow waggle to it. "You know I have that planned, but I have something else planned that I think you will enjoy." Batting practice, meeting the team, dinner while watching the game, and then back to the penthouse. Maybe a stop for ice cream on the way home. Mom would probably appreciate some.

	"Lead on then," Steve said. "You've never let me down yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya smiled and kissed him. Forty minutes later she was smiling as she watched her boyfriend talking to the Boston Red Sox and taking batting practice with them. Sure she could easily buy him anything he wanted, but things like this were much better than material items. "Swing batter batter swing!" she called to Steve. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Times like this, as amazing as they were, also had the habit of leaving Steve feeling badly out of his depth. That Anya could so casually arrange all of this was just insane.

Not to mention it left him with even less than a zero clue of what to do for her birthday. There was little she needed and he certainly couldn't arrange anything of this caliber.

In more immediate matters, however, Steve's hand-eye coordination was second to none, even with a certain hot Yankee's fan's attempts to distract him. His bat connects solidly, sending the ball flying.

	Anya clapped and cheered loudly. "Maybe you should play for the Sox! They could use the help!" she taunted. Anya was a die hard Yankees fan. She had been coming to games with her father since she had been in diapers. She was just glad she could do things like this for Steve. He made her happy and she wanted him to be happy.

	Steve stuck out his tongue at her and made a face. "Yeah, we'll see if you're still saying that after today!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-07 12:09 am UTC (link)
	She of course stuck her tongue back out at him. "Oh please! The Yankees are going to kick some Red Sox ass!" she called back. "You want to make a bet, Mr. Barton?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-08-07 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Depends," Steve said. "What're the stakes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-07 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know. What do you think the stakes should be? Loser is personal slave for a day to the winner? Loser serves the winner breakfast in bed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What, and have the kitchen catch fire?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-07 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't say cook. I said serve. Where it comes from is entirely up to the person who has to serve it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-08-07 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"Well, that ain't too bad then," Steve said. "I could sure go for that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-07 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"I'll start thinking about what I want for breakfast then," she grinned. "We know the Sox are going to lose." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2010-08-07 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"Puh-lease. We are so going to kick your Yankee butts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-07 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Anya laughed. "Finish up your batting practice and then we'll get some pictures with the team. After that, we'll head up to the box for dinner and the game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve smiled. "You got it, Gorgeous. Consider it a preview of what my boys are gonna do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2010-08-07 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Your boys are going to lose!" she shot back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
