Waking up meme - Buck and Cait Drake
Being an Avenger leaves one used to a lot of strange things. From the moment he opens his eyes, Buck is on high alert. The walls are grey and sterile. There's no dresser drawer with his weapons in reach. And he's pretty quickly able to tell he's not wearing anything, bare against the spare sheets he's covered with.

He rolls the other way, and promptly finds himself bumped up against someone. Someone with blue hair. And under the sheet, he's not immediately feeling any clothes on her either - the feeling part being a problem, since he wasn't expecting anyone there, and so was reaching out, ending up accidentally groping... is that one of the X-Girls?

	"Yeah. Normally I'm an ace with lockpicks and all. But that requires lockpicks. I may be able to do something with bedsprings, but that'll require some disassembly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How do you feel about a little exercise?" Cait asked. "I could probably make some lockpicks for you if we both sweat a little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Doesn't bother me any. I think we're a little short on sheets for togas for two though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Easily solved. You turn around and I turn around. No peeking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-09 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Seems reasonable. I'd offer you the sheet anyway, but we probably don't want to get it sweaty... we have limited resources, and might need anything." he agrees, turning about and starting to stand up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-11 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Cait turned away from him, but she couldn't help but to steal a glace back and take a peek. Cait started running in place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And she'll catch him peeking back over his shoulder at the same time. In response, he just grins, then sets into jumping jacks, and then onto push ups. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-12 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	Cait ran in place for a bit and then sat down to do some sit ups. It didn't take long for her to work up a good sweat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-13 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	It takes him longer, or at least high intensity workout over the same period, given his enhanced stamina - but he builds up a pretty good sweat as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-13 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	When they were both sweaty, Cait reached out with her powers and pulled all the sweat off of them. She formed it into a few ice lock picks. "Will these work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-13 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	He takes the lockpicks, totally focused on the tools and the situation now, not even thinking about the previous awkwardness. "These should work great. Hopefully you can keep them together and not melted in my hands - this will take a few minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-13 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"They won't melt," she said. She could keep them solid ice for as long as he needed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-13 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	He makes a mental note to himself to practice his lockpicking more, having gotten out of practice. Then he sets in, working carefully with the ice tools. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-13 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	Cait kept the lockpicks solid. It wasn't easy since they were ice and were prone to breaking. It took all her concentration to keep them in once piece. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-13 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	She does her job, he does his. It takes a while - less than ideal tools, definitely less than ideal circumstance, and he's out of practice. Nonetheless, it comes back to him, and eventually, the door clicks open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-13 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Good job," Cait said. "Lead the way." She gave him a smile trying to ignore that he's naked and so was she. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-13 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Alright, I'll take the lead. We need to figure out where we are, and get some clothes. I'm sure they'll notice we're missing before long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-14 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Right behind you," she said. She turned the ice lock picks into water and brought it with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-15 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Buck nods, taking his time about moving through the hallways, pausing at every little sound. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-15 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	Cait followed him. She moved quietly, but not as quietly as he did. She didn't think it was possible that someone could move that silently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-08-23 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	He's worked a lot on getting to the point of not making any noise. Useful for times like these. Every time they hit a corner or any major change, he pauses, scanning for signs of security or cameras. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-08-24 12:26 am UTC (link)
	Cait kept quiet and tried to move as quietly as he did. She couldn't, but she really tried. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-09-04 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Buck rounds a corner, then waves her along with a glance back. "Ok, why is this... starting to look familiar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-09-04 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know," she said. "It doesn't seem familiar to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-09-04 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Buck looks around, trying to place where he's seen some of these types of touches before. While ignoring the naked girl - somehow, that adds some distraction factor. "Ok, so that might mean its someone I know, and you might not. Narrows it down a tiny bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-09-04 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Just a little bit," Cait said. "We both have armies of enemies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-09-04 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	"We do." he agrees, pacing a little further, trying to place it. "Not Ultron... not Kang..." A little further, and a glance to another room. "This is kind of... like Stark tech." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-09-04 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Cait blinked. "Wait. Aren't you dating a Stark?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-09-22 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah... which is part of why I've gotten pretty familiar with it. Which doesn't explain why you're here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-09-22 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Neptune only knows," she said. "Though weird stuff is part of being an X-Man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-09-26 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Buck takes a closer look at some of the stuff around, then starts moving again. "If this is Stark design, then there should be some kind of control or computer room this way, if my sense of direction is right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-09-26 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, but do you know how to hack into the computers?" Cait asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	treadlightly 2013-09-26 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"No, not really my thing. But odds are, someone there will. Its one of the most likely places to find someone who can answer some very pointed questions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2013-09-27 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Cait said. "Hopefully they'll cooperate." (Reply to this)(Parent)
