                                                                      Meeting the Cute Scientist

                                                                                           2009

"When are you going to come visit? I miss my favorite cousin" the woman on the phone said.

"I'll visit you in New York when you visit me in Central City" Poppy replied. "And besides not all of us can work for the genius, millionaire, playboy, philanthropist known as Tony Stark"

The woman on the other end laughed. "It's actually billionaire , not millionaire." she said jokingly.

"I'll tell you what. I'll go to New York, only if it's for a certain someone's wedding" Poppy hinted.

There was a chuckle on the other end. "I'll let you know when Tony and Pepper finally decide to get married...You know what, I actually need to go reprogram F.R.I.D.A.Y. so I'll call you later, okay?"

"Sure you do. Say 'Hi' to Peter for me. Love you Ro" Poppy said smiling as she entered the CCPD.

"Love you too" Rosie grumbled and the two cousins exchanged their goodbyes and hung up as Poppy finally reached her brother's lab.

"Guess who brought her brother lunch? I am the best sister ever" Poppy said as she entered the lab, smiling and holding up the Big Belly Burger bag.

Parker looked up from the file he was reading. "Thank god! I'm starving. That's why you're my favorite sister" he said as he took the greasy food from his little sister.

"I'm your only sister" she said, sitting in his chair. "And that's why you're my favorite... that's my chair." he said looking at her.

"I'm your guest. And your favorite sister" she said smiling at her brother.

Parker rolled his eyes and sat in the chair across his desk with a pout on his lips.

The two siblings were talking before they were interrupted.

"Hey, Parker. Who's this?" a pretty woman with brown eyes and dark skin asked as she walked into the lab with a man.

"Oh, hey Iris" Parker said, standing up. "This is my twin sister, Poppy" he said introducing his little sister.

"Poppy, this is Iris, and my partner Barry" he said, introducing his friends to his sister.

"Nice to meet you guys" Poppy said, standing up to shake both their hands.

Iris smiled and shook her hand. "I didn't know that Parker had a sister. Who's older?"

Poppy jokingly rolled her eyes and pointed to her brother and he proudly smiled. "I am" Parker said raising his hand. "Yeah, by 3 minutes. He won't let me forget" Poppy said, smiling before turning to Barry.

Barry looked to be in a trance before Iris snapped him out of it by nudging his arm.

"What?- Oh right - Yeah... I'm Barry, but you already knew that.." he trailed off awkwardly, shaking Poppy's hand.

She grinned and let go of his hand and took a step back. "Well it's nice to meet you Barry, but if you'll both excuse me, I have to go back to work. My lunch break is almost over" Poppy said as she threw away her trash and grabbed her bag.

"Where do you work?" Iris asked.

"I'm a journalist and photographer for The Daily Bugle that's here in Central City." Poppy said as she put on her coat.

"That's actually my boss calling. It was nice meeting you guys" Poppy said as she looked at her ringing phone ." I'll see you later at Ma's?" she asked her twin as she started walking away.

Parker gave her a thumbs up and Poppy waved good-bye to everyone as she walked out the door with her phone up to her ear.

Guess who's back! Sorry for the long hiatus, but here's a new chapter, and there's another one on the way! Please leave your comments on what you thought about this chapter. I have a couple of plans for Poppy and Parker. And for those of you who read my Peter Parker book, yes, that is my other oc, Rosemary, and this will kind of be a Marvel/Dc crossover. I do hope to put in a Team Spider-man and Team Flash crossover in the future though. Anyways, see you in the next chapter!
