“he’s fine, he doesn’t bite. much. just don’t take that squeaky wrench toy, it’s his favourite and he will not take kindly to that.” leon says absently, referring to the dog. because of course he has a spot in their lab for his dog. how could he not? wolf goes everywhere with him, there’s no way he wouldn’t have a dedicated corner where leon spends most of his time. the eldest stark pushes his goggles up onto his forehead, shifting his attention away from his tinkering. “alright, let’s take a look.” nodding at the device in their hand, leon reaches out for it. “what did you do to it anyway? drop it? pull it apart? i mean i can fix it no problem, but i’d recommend not getting too hulk-y with your stuff next time.”

“what a day..” nate mutters to himself under his breath. most of the tie he does his best not to complain when it comes to his rounds on security, but somehow today was just a disaster. even supersoldiers need a break, and double-shifts are not the way to do that. he’s just about to slump into his chair and contemplate whether or not he can get away with leaving his writeup for later when he sees movement at the door, immediately stepping over to pull it open instead and absolutely not stumbling in the process, no sir. “y’know, sneaking around super-hearing doesn’t work so well.”

“I have no idea what everyone’s complaining about,” Belle shrugged, spinning in place and letting the umbrella swirl around so she got hit with a little rain before bringing it back over her head.  “I happen to love the rain.  Maybe they just need a little joie de vivre, yes?”

Lexi’s fingers flew over the keyboard as she tried to finish her assignment while watching the second monitor finish running a search.  Not that the search had anything to do with the actual project.  That would be too easy.  No, her brain had gone off on a tangent and she wanted to run down that rabbit trail.  “Just a few more minutes,” she called out when she heard the door to the computer lab open.  “I swear, I’ll be out of here in five minutes.”  Something she’d already promised fifteen minutes ago, but really, who was counting?
