"You do realize we are in a world crisis right now and you want a sucker?"
ANNE WAS IMMEDIATELY USHERED TO the lab. The red head, Agent Romanoff, the same one that had led Doctor Banner to the lab was doing the same for Anne. They walked together in comfortable silence with the agent making an occasional quip and Anne being absolutely baffled by the sight in front of her.
"Doctor Robinson?" The voice pulled Anne's eyes away from all the things to the red head who was speaking. "What exactly do you have your PhDs in?" The red head asked with a smile that made Anne question a lot of thing. Am I doing something wrong? She asked herself.
"I have three." Anne began to explain as she ticked off each finger as she went on. "One in Quantum Physics, one in advanced mathematics, and another in engineering. I'm a NASA scientist on top of all of that." She excitedly said. Her hands began to shake with happiness as she neared all the labs. She could see all the fun gadgets and scientists in there and it made her overjoyed.
"You are a smart kid aren't you." Agent Romanoff stopped at a doorway and Anne followed suit. The brunette saw the familiar doctor who wore the purple button up dashing around the room while looking at all the trinkets cluttering the area. Anne had guessed this is where she was going to do research. With two brilliant minds, they could get the task done immediately.
"I don't think I'm a kid." Anne furrowed her eyebrows. "I am 24 years old." She looked up to agent who stood there with feet apart and arms crossed in a very serious manner. Anne had to push back the urge to copy the woman's stance.
"And I am 28 years old." The agent paused. "We have some lollipops in the back. Want some?" The red head peered to the left of her to find Anne's reaction remained the same as it was a couple seconds ago. Oh- she was teasing Anne. Except Anne ignored it and was slowly clicking her tongue as she pressed her lips into a tight, fine line. This was not humorous at all. "Maybe we have some of the ones with the gum in the middle."
"Really?" Anne perked up at this. "I'll only take blue raspberry. Or strawberry. Blue berry could work as well. Just not grape. It's disgusting." The woman stuck out her tongue in disgust as she thought about the lollipops. Then the agent started chuckle at this reaction. "I'm really passionate about my food, Agent Romanoff." She clutched her satchel harder, hoping she wouldn't be embarrassed about this in the future.
"Me too." The agent said. "You can call me Natasha, Doctor Robinson." Natasha held out her hand and the Anne copied her. They began to shake with Anne beaming as hard as she could. When the two let go, the doctor turned to the lab, letting out a huge, exasperated sigh as she did so. It all seemed very intimidating now that she had a closer look at it.
