Oh, Bea couldn't be having with this anymore. Not after nearly 71 hours.

She found the number, got on the phone. "Hello, is this Buck Rogers, in whatever century is appropriate?"

Two hours was plenty of time to finish up what she was working on and get showered and dressed. Right? Anya just wanted to finish this project up. It had been /ages/ since she had a solid chunk of time to work in the lab.

Renaissance Technologies was taking off like a rocket and to say Anya was busy was an understatement. She spent her days between traveling and attending meetings. These past few days were the first where she didn't have to travel or have a meeting.

The operating system she wrote ages ago was finally ready to be released and sold. It'd be another product Ren Tech could market.

She focused on getting this done and then she'd go shower.

She'd still be in the lab when Buck arrived.

	He'll be leaning against one of the walls the next time she crawls out from under whatever that thing is she's working at. "Hey beautiful. Those oil stains really compliment your complexion, tie the whole outfit together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya jumped at the sudden sound of a voice. She had been /focused/ ie blocking everything else out while working on the code. She slid off the stool and went over to him. He got a hello in the form of a deep kiss. "Hi." There was a smile on her face. "Has it been two hours already?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-04 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Two and a half, I wanted to give you a bit of a cushion." he answers, after returning the deep kiss, complete with a brief dip. "I'm not going to even ask you what you're working on til we're en route. Go get wet and naked so you can get dressed to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kissed him again. Yup, boyfriend was definitely better than writing code. Though it was pretty close. "This may sound silly, but what day is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya managed to look a little sheepish. "Really? Huh. Didn't seem that long. I'm beginning to suspect there's a temporal anomaly centered on the lab." She gave him a quick kiss. "Fifteen minutes and I'll be showered and ready." She could get ready in under two hours with proper motivation and right now that proper motivation was here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's why you have a timer in here, but ok, we'll go with temporal anomaly. Anyway, see you in fifteen minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't use it. It gets annoying when it goes off too many times." Anya grinned. "I'll walk you upstairs," she said as she hooked an arm around his. "Give you a chance to meet the natives if you want. Though I will warn you, we're all crazy. Some more than others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am somehow not surprised. I'd be tempted to threaten to spank you if you don't start keeping better track of time, but you might take it as encouragement." he teases back, following along with her. "And... yeah, Bea kind of gave that impression when I talked to her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know me well." They walked up to the second floor of the refurbished firehouse. The second floor was the main living area with bedrooms on the third and forth floors. The ground floor was the garage and the sub-basement was the lab. "Make yourself at home. I'll be back before you can miss me." Quick kiss and she scampered off to go get showered and dressed.

	He gives her a playful swat on the ass as she walks away. "Will do. I won't miss you next time either." he adds, then finds a wall to lean against while he waits, not meandering too much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hello," comes the greeting accompanied by a very curious mage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-05 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, hey there." Buck responds, clearly trying to recall a name from Anya's descriptions. "Martin, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-04-05 12:18 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Who are you?" And how did the guy know his name he wonders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty much everyone just calls me Buck. I'm dating Anya. She mentioned you, and the rest of the T-Bolts last time we were out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope it was nice things." Maybe she hadn't noticed that some furniture around here was looking different than it used to. Not all of his restoring spells worked perfectly when he was fixing things from magical accidents. "Are you here to get her out of the lab?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And it's then that Manny walks by, a full-size bag of Ruffles Cheese chips in hand. He suddenly stops when he sees the new arrival. "Hola." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-05 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"In your case, all good, yes." he agrees. Easy enough to be diplomatic. "And yes... long enough for dinner and a movie, anyway, and maybe to schedule some more time not in the lab. Amazing a thought as that is for her." "Hola." he greets Manny, likewise pleasant enough, and unruffled by the odd appearance. "Newest arrival... Manny, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	magic_hands 2012-04-05 12:29 am UTC (link)
	He smiles brightly at that. "I could try doing some magic to the door to keep her out for a bit. But I don't want the boss mad..." "I didn't know we had those," he says to Manny while glancing at the Ruffles. He needed to raid the kitchen more often. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Si, my reputation precedes me?" he joked. He looks over at Martin. "No, I bought it with some of my money. Well, I bought several bags actually. You're welcome to some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2012-04-05 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"I'll just have to do the boyfriend thing a bit more and get her out of there. I doubt she'd appreciate being kept out of the lab without some pretext." he replies, with a bit of amusement. "And... well, I suppose. Or Anya mentioned everyone last time we talked, in case the T-Bolts and Avengers ever need to work together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thanks Manny but it's okay. I like the sour cream and onion ones better." He wants to ask where he'd gone to buy them where they wouldn't mind customers who were...different. It was hard to find those places, and part of the reason he never bought stuff by himself.

"She's been in there a looong time though...you should take her out more often." He's never actually been in the lab so he assumes there's no place to sleep or eat there. It was best to keep the magic out of her lab. "I know someone on the Avengers," he adds.

	Manny would have mentioned that his job as a celebrity bodyguard and UCWF wrestler had garnered him a sizable fanbase. "Okay then." He looks at Buck seriously for a moment. "You're Captain America's son..right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Buck's knowledge of the majority of pop culture is pretty limited - so having missed out on the UCWF and celebrity world shouldn't be too much of a shock to anyone who knows him.

"I'll keep that in mind. The team and training keeps me pretty busy too... but I'll try and get out this way." He nods in response to Manny's question. "Buck Rogers, yes. Nice to meet you both."
