James said he would visit and he wasn't one to break his word. He walked into the lobby of the Baxter Building and went to the reception desk.

"Hello. I'm here to see Miss Valeria Richards," he said. "Could you please let her know James Romanov-Rogers is here to see her?" He smiled nervously. "Thank you."

Val's in her lab working with a new compound when the intercom on the wall starts to buzz.

"Miss Richards?"

Val perks her head up from her work, "Yes?"

"A James Romanov-Rogers see you, miss."

A smile crosses Val's face. She did tell him that he could drop by any time that he wanted to.

"I'll be down in a second," she says, closing her notebook and hanging up her labcoat, revealing a nice pink blouse and jeans. She heads down to the elevator, her pet rabbit, Lester following behind her.

At the desk, the receptionist looks at James and gives him a smile.

"She'll be down in just a minute."

	Another nervous smile. "Thank you," he said. He shoved his hands in his pocked and ambled around the lobby. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The elevator opens, and James is greeted, not by Val, but by Lester the rabbit, who hops over to sniff the newcomer. "I think he likes you," Val says, as she makes her way over to him, "He's normally really shy around new people." She smiles at him. "Hi, James." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James bent over and put out a hand for Lester to sniff. "Maybe," he said and then looked up at her. Um.... His throat suddenly went dry. "Uh...hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lester sniffs his hand, then turns his head to Val to give her what would seem to be an approving look. From a rabbit. "Hey," she grins. She's ecstatic that he stopped by. "Nice of you to stop by." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 12:09 am UTC (link)
	He wanted to say something like he said he would stop by and was keeping his word, but what actually came out was entirely something else. "Uh...yeah. So...." He scratched his head. Now what? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val resisted the urge to giggle like a seven-year-old. "You want some coffee or something?" she asks with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 05:02 am UTC (link)
	"Soda." A pause. "Uh...please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"Sure," she scoops up Lester in her arms, and heads back over to the elevator. "We can get some upstairs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 05:32 am UTC (link)
	James blinked. Upstairs? He didn't think he'd be invited upstairs. He thought maybe they'd grab a soda out somewhere. "If...if it's okay with your dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Val chuckles. "I don't think he's going to have a heart attack over it or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 05:48 am UTC (link)
	James wondered what was amusing to cause a chuckle, but he wasn't going to ask. "Oh. Okay." Now what? Was there something specific he should say? "Do you play video games?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 06:04 am UTC (link)
	Val nods, "Yeah, I have an X-Box 360 in my office-slash-lab. They're a great way to get your mind off of things." Nothing beats shooting zombies when you're stuck on a compound or formula. The elevator opens and she walks into the kitchen area, opening the rather large refrigerator to reveal a large assortment of soda and other drinks. "Any preference?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 06:13 am UTC (link)
	"Cool," James said. "What kind of games do you like?" Now that they were talking about video games, he could talk. "Cola please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 06:24 am UTC (link)
	She pulls out two cans, cola for him, and orange for herself. "I can get into almost any game that's put in front of me," she says, placing the can in front of him, "Though nothing beats killing zombies. Rock Band's fun too, if you're looking for something fun to do with a group of friends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 06:26 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," he said. "Yeah, killing zombies is fun. Until they're real. Never played Rock Band though." He popped open the soda and took a sip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 06:35 am UTC (link)
	She took a sip of her soda, "Yeah...then it would probably suck. Getting preyed on for your brains wouldn't be much fun in real life, I'd imagine." She took another sip of her soda, "It's fun. More fun when you have a huge group of people though. It's kinda like Guitar Hero, only with more instruments." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We fought some zombies in London just a little while ago," James said. "Sounds like it could be fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We got vampires here," Val smirks, "And not the sparkly kind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 06:40 am UTC (link)
	"Vampires sparkle?" James made a face. This world was pretty weird at times. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 06:48 am UTC (link)
	"They do in this series of books that I read." She laughs. "I miss the old days when they'd just burst into flames when they went into the sun, not sparkle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 06:56 am UTC (link)
	"Weird." He made a face and sipped his soda. "Better than killer robots though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 01:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Definitely," she says, nodding her head and taking a sip of soda, "Could have been worse, though. They could have been killer vampire robots or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	next_avenger 2009-12-08 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	James chuckled a little. "I guess. Though I wonder if I can talk my sister into making me a game of killer vampire robots." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	invisigirl 2009-12-08 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd play that in a heartbeat," she says, "That sounds like it'd be a lot of fun. And extremely challenging. A normally wooden stake to the heart probably wouldn't work on vampire robots." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
