Dinner and Recon (Friday night)
Tessa stood outside Big Nick's Burger and Pizza Joint on Broadway and 77th. She was fifteen minutes early because she didn't want to be late and make Mikhail think she wasn't going to show. The whole point was to keep him interested and she could only do that by being around.

She smoothed her blouse and wondered if she looked okay. She was dressed in a pair of boots, a blouse and a pair of jeans. From the way Mikhail had described the place, she didn't think that anything formal would be appropriate, but she was so unsure of this dating stuff.

The program didn't exactly foster any dating environment, not that this was a date. People like her didn't go on dates, they went on missions. Nicholas made it a point to say it was a mission and not a date.

Nicholas was not happy with her going out with Mikhail and getting close to him, even if it were for the good of the mission. Then again, Nicholas was hardly ever happy. The guy was created cranky.

She looked at her watch. Five more minutes. She watched the traffic and people as she waited.

Misha was running right on time for a change. Between finals and the new kid showing up, it had been a busy week. A date was just the thing he needed to relax. Dinner with a pretty girl and a walk through Central Park. All very innocent and proper. The gossip rags could report the American prince's movements with his blessings.

He waved when he saw Tessa in front of Big Nick's.

	Tessa smiled when she saw him and waved in return. "Hi," she said with a smile when he approached. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi. You haven't been waiting long, have you?" He reached for her hand, nodding with appreciation at her casual attire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not at all," she said and put her hand in his. "I gave myself a little extra time just in case I got lost or couldn't find it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha led her toward the restaurant. "It's been a crazy week so far. I've been looking forward to showing you my favorite burger place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Finals week is always crazy, but it's over and done with," she smiled as she entered the building. "How do you think you did?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'll settle for passing, but I think I did better. I hope so because ESU has already accepted me for next semester." It hadn't been hard to get accepted. He was sure Mom had something to do with it.

Conversation stopped as they were invited to choose a table. They opted for a booth toward the back and the waiter promised water and asked if they wanted anything to drink. Misha was such a regular that his preferred beer was already known.

	Tessa ordered a diet cola. "That's good. Congratulations! ESU's a good school. I think I passed, but I guess I'll find out soon enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The familiar atmosphere helped him to relax. Big Nick's at any hour of the day or night was like a second home. "Thanks. What are your plans after the semester's over?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She wasn't sure if she liked the close contact or not, but she was going to follow his lead. It was her mission to get to know him and get close. "Some," she said. "I like to come here on nice days and sit on a bench with a book. What about you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm usually here on the weekends playing ball. There's always a bunch of guys, or kids who want to get one together. It's not far from my place. Mom brought me and my sister here for picnics and play when we were kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-24 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	"That's awesome. I bet picnics here in the summer are a lot of fun." Now it was time to get a little useful information. "How many brothers and sisters do you have?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tessa knew about the Stark side. It wasn't hard because they were in the papers a lot. The other side was what they were concerned about. "So let me see if I get this straight. You have two sisters and one brother on your mom's side and one brother on your dad's side? Or am I completely off the mark here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head. "No. I never stayed in one place long enough to get close enough to consider someone family. I was bounced around a lot." She shrugged. "It's what life is like in the system." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nicholas waited at the safehouse for Tessa to return from her mission. He'd expected her more than an hour ago. The intel had better be worth the time she was with him. There were questions that had to be answered, gaps in the timeline that had to be filled. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tessa was humming as she entered the small apartment and shut the door behind her. It had been a nice evening and the company had been most enjoyable, even if he was a mission. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The glower on his face deepened when he heard Tessa humming. She didn't sound like she was working a mission. Tessa was quiet. Focused. This break from her normal behavior bothered him. He planted himself in her way. "Report." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can I at least get in the door and get a drink of water first?" she said as she looked up at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're in the door." Her tone of voice, normal Tessa, brought him down a little. He moved out of her way. "I want to know what you discovered." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She went over to the small kitchen and fetched a glass out of a cabinet. She filled it directly from the tap. Healing factor and all. "A lot we already knew. He's going to school, coaching baseball and trying to stay out of the spotlight. Though he does have more family than we thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How many more?" More recruits for the program would make a successful mission if they were all Wolverine's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She took a sip of her water. Why did it feel bad to be telling Nicholas these things? "There's a brother on his father's side. Two sisters and a brother on his mother's side." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
