Meeting of the Minds
Griffen had decided he was going to start ordering parts for new computer upgrades. It wasn't his thing but it had to be done. That was when he had noticed someone was already doing his job for him. That was a little surprise.

He smiled a little as he picked up one of the boxes to check out what was being installed. He gave a low whistle of geek approval as he wandered into the computer room. He looked up and had a moment of surprise.

"Miss Stark?" He blinks again then offers her a smile. "It's good to see you again. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

He doesn't seem as shy as he once was but then again the first time they met was in the middle of a crisis and the next time they were around each other was when the Defenders got called in. Griffen notes that they never really got to talk before.

"It would be easier making a name for yourself instead of living up to someone else's name," she said. She smiled. "Sometimes it is hard to tell parents things. Dad and I have a great relationship, but there are things that are hard to tell him. I think every kid is like that with a parent."

"You can still finish grad school," she pointed out. "There are some great schools out here. Cal Tech and UCLA to start. Now that Dad isn't making you slave away in a lab, you should have some free time."

"That's true. Given my credit hours at either university it would be fairly easy to jump back in," he would have to take this fall off though he guessed. "Plus I don't need to T.A anymore."

He considers that then moves onto talking more. "Mom was hard to talk to about things. She was always trying to figure out how to make things work. Granda is the one who I tried talking to."

	Anya nodded. "It would be good to have your degree." "I can understand that. My mother is difficult to talk to as well. Just because...well she's who she is. The Black Widow isn't the easiest person to talk to even when you're not her kid. I talk to my dad or my older brother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He agrees with her. "Mine is a chef...so more often then not I was her test subject for new ideas. Talking came up on occasion but it was always difficult for us to get around to normal stuff. We were never good at the whole talking to each other thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, it's like that for me. Did you learn how to cook from your mom? Do you have any siblings?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. She thought she needed to pass her skills on," he explains imagining Anya's mother did much the same with her kids. "No. My Father died when I was young and Mom just now started dating again." He was happy for her. The guy his Mom was seeing seemed like a stand up guy so Griffen wasn't going to make any noise. He was serving up the food now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's good. You'll never starve. I was taught everything except how to cook." Anya laughed a little. "The women in my family are horrible cooks. We know how to burn things." Anya looked at the food in front of her. It looked and smelled delicious. "Thank you." She gave him a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And as an added bonus if I ever start dating I can wow the potential date with real food." Plus he knows good cooking so restaurants get the hairy eye ball from him on occasion. "That's just a little scary. You're welcome." He digs in with good cheer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes. Girls would love that." She smiled. She would personally love a guy who could cook. "Mom and I have a permanent ban from the kitchen at the Avengers mansion. Jarvis doesn't like us burning things and destroying the appliances." She picked up her fork and took a bite. "Oh this is really good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-08-13 04:15 am UTC (link)
	He didn't know any guys her age who could cook. "See, that's scary. Can you at least do coffee?" Somehow it wouldn't shock him if she couldn't. People who couldn't cook didn't make sense to him. "Thanks. We might get visitors if they smell the food." He has often found himself cooking for the team, he doesn't mind at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not scary," she said. "I have mad takeout ordering skills." She grinned. "I can make coffee. That's about it." She nodded. "The smell of food brings people running. It's the same at the Avengers mansion. Cook something and someone always shows up to eat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2009-08-13 04:30 am UTC (link)
	"And shocking for a guy my ordering skills are sub-par. Pizza baffles me since there are so many ways to top it." He grinned a little. "I'm just glad we order food in bulk. Do you guys eat a lot? I noticed how much these guys eat, and I'm no slouch either. Mostly because I have a love affair with food." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Speaking of eating a lot, and loving food, the barely dressed, 7' Norse berserker follows the smell of food and sounds of voices in the kitchen, which often means more food is forthcoming, into the kitchen. "Ahhh, the Lady Stark. Tis good to see thee. I hope I am not interrupting thy wenching, Griffen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-13 05:46 am UTC (link)
	Blink. Blink. Hello tall, muscled and good looking. She smiled. "Please, call me Anya. Lady Stark is way too formal. Halbjorn...right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
