Hank's Lab, Covert CIA Base

[tobenormal]

Hank had been thinking about his lunch (turkey and swiss on rye, a coke and macaroni salad as always; though maybe he'd get a Twinky today) when he heard the facility's Director enter his lab. "...Capable of super sonic flight!" The Director was saying proudly, making Hank guess they had some more Washington brass to impress. He stood, straightened his lab coat and adopted his casual yet serious stance.

"You should see the real thing if you want to be impressed," he said when the group finally turned around a corner and into view. The group was odd as only one person was in a suit. Washington Brass always wore suits and there were two woman with them. Agent Mactaggert he recognized, though he didn't know her name, but the blonde....she took his breath away. He stood frozen in awe and swallowed.

"I trust your experience here," Raven replies, nodding mock-solemnly.

"I'll have whatever you're having."

Hank knows food, being a growing mutant and all, and soon enough they each have trays with roast beef sandwiches, macaroni salad, Twinkies and cokes. Hank tries to take her tray but it's pretty obvious he won't be able to manage so let's her insist on carrying it.

"I think I see some chairs over there by the windows if it's not to hot for you?"

She glances toward the place where he's looking and immediately moves in that direction to secure them a table before no one else takes it.

As they pass the offenders from earlier, she gives them the kind of look that has most guys either shaking in their shoes or falling over themselves to get to her.

(There might be a flash of yellow in it, too.)

The table gapes at Raven and one in particular (it might have even been the thrower) drops a spoon full of red jello and whipped cream into his lap.

As Hank and Raven sit, Hank smiles at Raven, thoroughly enjoying his day. "You know, your...talents are perfectly suited to covert work. Of course you've probably have already heard that."

"I hadn't really heard that before," Raven admits, tilting her head slightly as she settles into the seat across from him with a broader grin.

She's always enjoyed giving a little payback to a deserving party.

"Not to go into too many details but it is true. Get some basic acting lessons and improvisation and you could likely get into anywhere."

Hank knows he said for them to not talk about anything but he is too exited to not be alone anymore and is nearly bursting with questions that are going to have to wait.
