The World Ain't Slowing Down (open for distractions)
Since her release from SHIELD custody Anya had been doing three things: going to class, school work and a little sleep thrown in for good measure. She'd grab food before leaving Boston and then lock herself in the lab at the Hydrobase once she got there. She would emerge the next morning to shower and head to class. Darwin and Schrodinger were the only two in the lab with her.

There was so much school work to catch up on. She had even stayed a few nights in Boston because she had to put in the required lab time for some of her classes. Thankfully her professors had been understanding about her absence (having a letter from Nick Fury helped) and allowed her to make up missed tests and work. Of course it also helped that Dad gave buttloads of money to MIT each year. It was nice to be rich and have the perks that came with it. Anya wasn't going to complain.

She called her parents every day to say hi and check up on Dad (she worried a lot). She called Misha as well. She had heard what happened with him and Mom and even though there was a ban on seeing her brother at the moment, she called to let him know she cared and missed him. She had a weakness for the Dork. Both of her dorky brothers actually and she was quite fond of her sister. She'd never admit it to anyone, but she really liked having siblings.

Anya picked at the Pad Thai she picked up earlier and focused on her Physics homework.

Steve had just come from an appointment with Doctor Pym. While the good doctor was still not exactly happy about Steve's theft of his growth formula, all tests indicated that it would be safe for him to continue using it. He was advised not to get above 25 feet, at least not until his body became more used to the Pym Particles, but that was more than enough to provide the Young Avengers with some extra-punch. Especially since they were losing their armored champion.

Back at Hydrobase, he looked for Anya, as part of his daily checking up on her. The lab. As usual. He rapped on the door.

	"Who the hell says paramour these days?" Anya said as she pulled her nose out of her Physics book. "Open it for him." A pause. "Please." Please was necessary when dealing with an AI that had an attitude. She turned around on the stool and smiled when she saw Steve. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey there, Gorgeous," Steve said, as he walked through the door. "How you doing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-10-12 12:49 am UTC (link)
	The smile on her face grew and pink touched her cheeks. "Hey, Handsome. Better now that you're here." She slid off of the stool and wrapped her arms around him before giving him a kiss. Okay, so there were drawbacks to locking oneself in the lab for long periods of time and missing out on this was one of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve returned the kiss, breaking away only with great reluctance. "You know," he said, "most people, after being locked-up, don't go and lock themselves back-up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've been catching up on the work I missed while I was being the family delinquent. I also have a Physics test tomorrow." School first. Always. Which was why she was now a reserve Avenger instead of a full-time one. School would lead to her running the company one day. That was her ultimate goal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-10-12 01:33 am UTC (link)
	Steve was still about as full-time as high school would allow him to be. And sometimes a little bit more. "Mmm-hmmm. Big mega-physics stuff or just the basics? 'cause I'm good at the basics." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-10-12 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Advanced Physics," she said. She had tested out of the lower level Physics classes. Thank goodness. They would have been the most boring classes on the planet. "But that can wait. You're here and I need a break." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-10-12 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"Egghead stuff, then," Steve said. Well, so much for him. Get beyond the physics of an arrow's arc or a game of pool, and he wasn't much good. And most of that was instinct. "Breaks are a good thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-10-12 01:59 am UTC (link)
	She poked him. "Watch it, mister. You just happened to be dating one." She couldn't help herself. She yawned. "Breaks are good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-10-12 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, now," he said, under the poking. "I didn't say egghead stuff was bad." "You," Steve told her, "nee coffee. Or Pepsi. Or the caffinated beverage of your choice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What she really needed was some sleep, but that could wait until after midterms. She only had to get through the next week, then she could go back to a more normal schedule. She looked at him and smiled. "How about I make a fresh pot, we curl up on the couch and watch a movie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-10-12 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Steve had more or less stopped trying to get Anya to subscribe to a more normal schedule. Her usual definition of normal was hardly such. "Mmmm. I like the sound of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hey, her schedule was normal for someone in her family. Neither her or her parents slept more than four to five hours a day. It had to be genetic.

She smiled and kissed him. "Good. We can watch it here where we will be alone, or we can watch it in the rec room. Your choice."

There was an over-sized couch in a small alcove in the lab along with a television, mini fridge and a coffemaker. It was easier to put those things in a lab rather than trying to remember to leave the lab for them.

	Steve grinned at the suggestions. "Alone, eh?" he mused. "I like the sound of that..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thought you might," she said in between kissing him. "I do too. Go pick out a movie and I'll get coffee started. Oh, grab some popcorn while you're at it." A cute smile. "Please?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-10-12 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"For you, Gorgeous?" Steve replied. "Anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-10-12 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"That's why I adore you so much." One more kiss and she let him go. "Meet you on the couch in ten." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Exactly ten minutes later, Steve was on the couch, popcorn at the ready and movie picked out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya had one normal sized cup of coffee and one over sized cup in her hands. She set them down on the floor next to the couch and sat down next to Steve. "So what are we watching?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only one of the best movies ever made," Steve told her, before showing her the case. Robin Hood: Men in Tights. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: 10 minutes later anyastark 2009-10-13 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Anya laughed and should have thought as much. She kissed him. "If I haven't told you, you are pretty amazing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
