Daily workout
Two more minutes on the treadmill and then she'd move on to lifting weights.

Alice was a good portion into her daily after-training workout session. Her iPod was on shuffle and she was getting up to a pretty good speed, and found herself burning nearly twice the amount of calories that she'd burnt yesterday. She was starting to work up a bit of a sweat, but after she'd stretched a little, she'd be ready to lift weights for an hour before calling her workout wrapped for the day.

It wasn't that she was a workout addict or anything...she just liked to stay in shape. How else was she supposed to move on the field if she wasn't in tip-top condition?

The treadmill slowed into a cool-down and Alice slowed her pace down. When the machine came to a stop, Alive looked down at the stats before hopping off the treadmill, wiping it off with a rag before pausing her iPod and taking a sip out of her water bottle.

She gets to meet one of his vanity items - a perfectly waxed and restored jet black T-Bird. While he might like to think, at times, they appreciate him for his mind, he's quite well aware that the big paycheck is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s retention plan for an agent who bench presses small planes.

He opens the passenger door for her, offering her a hand in, then goes about to the other side.

"This should do. Where are we headed?"

	Alice gave the car a whistle of approval. "Really nice ride you got here," she said as she took the offered hand and slid in. "Familiar with Big Nick's? They got pretty good pizza. Also burgers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He grins at the whistle. No one has this kind of car unless they're willing to put a ton of time, money or both into the restoration, so its no surprise he's rather pleased by the admiration towards his pride and joy.

Mention of the restaurant gets a nod, as he revs the engine, and pulls out to head towards the city. "Yeah, I know the place. Sounds like a plan to me."

	It's a nice car, hence the compliment. "I think it's a pretty good plan myself. I don't I've ever had a bad burger there." She grinned at him. "And I can't complain about the company either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've got no complaints. I think this is already the best time I've had since they announced the realignment with the new division being added. Ever since then, I've been either killing time, filling out my regs, or helping in the cryptography department. That's ok and all, but not real exciting, so you've already made my day."

	"That's fair enough, though from what little I know, you're capable enough. And used to being around some of the super agents, though those have mostly been kind of haphazard assignments. You know anything more about this team other than 'its going to exist'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I like to think that for just being a 'normal' human being compared to some of the other agents, I have a pretty good chance for getting picked on talent alone and not just because I can bench press a couple hundred pounds and not break a sweat. No offense to anyone that can do that, though." She shook her head. "Nope. Sammy and I have both tried grilling Uncle Nick for information..but nothing."

	"Huh, I'm surprised. He's usually pretty forthcoming with her, anyway. Grooming her for takeover and all of that. I'd say you have a fair chance though. SHIELD only has so many of us, and they've always been pretty big on keeping trusted agents around to keep an eye on us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, he could be telling her for all I know, just not when I'm around. I don't really know when the new division's happening, or why it's happening, just that it's happening. She could know every little detail for all I know, and just not be allowed to tell me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
