Anya startled at the sound of a voice and promptly whacked her head on the console.

"Owwww," she said and slid out from the console. She rubbed the spot on her head. It hurt. She looked up and quite surprised to see /that/ face. "Hey. It was going until you made me hit my head."

He smirks. "Doesn't sound like a concussion, anyway. What're you doing in New York? Your new friends not break enough stuff in Boston, so you need to come help us for a while? Or are you sabotaging the computer to make your squad look better?" he teases.

"You know me. I'm not above sabotaging other teams to make mine look better," she said with a smirk. "I came down this weekend to see the family and upgrade some processors in this beast. I'm surprised to see your face haunting this place." Not that it was a bad face to look at.

"Dad is finally relenting some in letting me get more active with the team, so I came in to review some tapes of the team working out, check specs on recent missions, use the local simulator, all of that."

"Oh? Going to join the B-team then?" she teased. "I'd offer you a spot on the A-team, but I don't see you moving to Boston."

Not that it would be a bad thing to be able to look at him every day. Stop that! She scolded herself. Maybe it was time for a night out. She had definitely been working too much.

"Seriously, good for you and it's about time. The Avengers will definitely benefit from you being there."

He hasn't been an Avenger long enough - at all, really - to be too defensive about the teasing. "I might have to come visit, anyway. Might be good to get some distance now and then. Sounded like the Avengers could use some filling out though, and I'm pretty sure joining up here would be one of the conditions for getting to run around in the skintight long underwear at all."

And she just pictured him in a skintight uniform. Yes, definitely time to have a night out. Or a trip out west. Hal would be more than accommodating to satisfying some urges.

"You are always welcome to visit me in Boston." She smiled. "It is good to see you again. How long as it been?"

"Geez, I can't remember. Seven, eight months? I've been working on the early graduation stuff, you've been gone. Definitely good to catch up though... hey, you free for dinner, maybe?"

The offer isn't intended to sound like asking her out. Its just dinner with an old friend. He doesn't show any sign of picking anything up from her expression, and Anya doesn't blush as easy as he does.

"You know me. Workaholic. I came by it honestly, I inherited it," she said with a grin. "Dinner sounds great." She didn't think of it outside of a friend asking another friend out. "If you make it burgers, I'll buy." She would buy either way, but she would always try to get burgers. She also knew he wasn't the type for fancy dinners.

Its true. "Burgers are always good." And one of his favorites. Go figure. "I have a few more things to finish, but you're on for dinner." The workaholic bit, even if they come at it from different directions, was also something they shared.

"A man after my own heard." She smiled brightly. "It's a plan. I have a few more things to finish up here, so take your time." She also needed a little time to change and freshen up. The paparazzi was always around and she wasn't going out unless she looked good.

He nods. "Ok, I'll catch you in two hours." he sets his watch to it. Then he heads back for the training facility at a jog, to try and get enough workout in to feel satisfied for now, before he gets showered and dressed for dinner.

Anya slid back under the console and turned Joplin back up. Janis sang while she worked and sang along. She had a date, with a friend, tonight and was going to have burgers for dinner. Life was good.
