Deck the Lab
The labrats, Tim included, loved the holidays. At least the ones where they were allowed to decorate. They had a ton of decorations and they took a day to decorate the lab. This year was no exception. The lab was decorated to the hilt. They had a fireplace, with a real fire, a recliner and a Christmas tree in the middle. They even had holographic projections to turn the lab into Santa's Workshop. Snow fell all around the lab and went from flakes directly to gas, not leaving any water anywhere.

They even had a remote controlled Santa with sleigh and reindeer flying around the lab. Once in awhile it would buzz close to someone's head and then zip away. All of the labrats wore santa hats or elf ears. Humorous Christmas songs played on the sound system.

Someone had even put some mistletoe over the main entrance to the lab.

	Tim bowed and then offered her a bottle of beer. "Thank you. We elves do try to make the place as festive as possible. St. Nick would be right at home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He would, I think he'd hire you as decorators. Thanks Tim," she smiles and takes the offered beer. "So what's a fellow nerd got to do around here to get one of those hats?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome," he said. "I collect a kiss for you standing under the mistletoe and then you get a hat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lena laughed and looked up at the mistletoe, she hadn't even realized it was there. "I trust you'll get me a quality santa hat then," she smiled and leaned forward to lightly kiss him on the lips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim of course turned bright red at the kiss. "The best one in the lab." He took his hat off and placed it on her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She could've kissed him on the cheek, but she'd done that just for the blush on his face. "Thank you Great Elf Tim," she said as she bowed her head a little for him to get the hat on. For that he got an extra kiss on the cheek and she put her arm around his shoulder to lead them away from the mistletoe. "Now...time to tell me the secrets behind some of this. The agents might not want to know but you can't hold back with a fellow lab rat!"

"Also, if any of your lab mates made some of the mistletoe remote control, I think I'd rather not know."

	"I can't do that. If I told you, then the next thing I know your lab is decorating and putting ours to shame. Those guys will tar and feather me if that happens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She put a hand over her heart, and yes she was still wearing a lab coat, and said solemnly, "I swear on my honour as a scientist and a nerd that my lab will not try and out do yours since we know it is futile." Lena broke into a smile. "Also because we don't have the cool tech or enough space. So...at the very least what strings do I need to pull to get a robotic elf minion?"

	"A robotic elf, hrm?" The wheels in his head were moving. It wouldn't be that far from an LMD. Just smaller. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just for the holidays. We'll claim he's a practical decoration." She adjusted the awesome santa hat and looked around. "Please tell me the Christmas party is going to be here. I want to see what party food you guys come up with to go with this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-11 11:25 pm UTC (link)
	"I dunno where the party is going to be," he admitted. "And we're not good cooks. Microwaves are about all that we can handle and even then there had been some incidents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-11 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"A fact that will never cease to amuse me considering many of you know your chem and that's really what cooking is," she chuckled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-12 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"No, baking is chemistry. Cooking is an entirely different beast. I can cook well enough to not starve, but never close to being able to cook for a party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pfft. They both are. You just say otherwise because you can't do one of them," she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-12 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	"No they aren't," he said. "Cooking is more about paying attention, which we can't do very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-12 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Doesn't change the base of it though," Lena smirks. "And you boys can pay attention. Just...on very selective things and a defined period of time. Cooking clearly just doesn't hold your interest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm more for eating," he said and patted his stomach. Tim wasn't a small guy. He had muscles, but it also showed that he enjoyed a good meal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aren't we all," she laughs. "Look forward to Christmas dinners?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 12:43 am UTC (link)
	Tim grinned. "Yes. My grandmother makes the best turkey." A thought struck him. "Would you like to come?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 12:49 am UTC (link)
	Lena just blinked in shock, completely taken aback. That she hadn't expected. "B-...but isn't it a family dinner? I'd be intruding..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-12-13 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"You wouldn't be intruding and my grandmother and mother makes enough food to feed a small army. Which by now the family may qualify as, but there's always room for another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I see but it's still...I mean..." Okay, she'll admit it, she was floundering here. She'd feel bad saying no and bad saying yes because it did feel like intruding. At least to her. "That's very nice of you Tim but...are you sure because? Christmas is about family and it's really okay..." Oh darn it, Tim had knocked her off her game with that surprise and now she was just gesturing emptily with her hands trying to say something comprehensible.

	"Do I need to have Deputy Director Dugan order you to attend?" he teased. "You are family. You're in SHIELD and SHIELD is part of my family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-13 01:09 am UTC (link)
	"Nonono!" She waved her hands frantically. "Getting ordered by one of your bosses to a dinner is embarrassing. I'll go, I'll go," she finally smiles. "And honestly, your family is pretty darn huge then Tim." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Relax," he said. "I'm teasing you. We are an Irish Catholic family. Of course it's going to be big." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
