Sam's Office: Beware of Geeks Bringing Gifts

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:39 pm

Will finally ended up clearing off enough of his own schedule to knock on the door to Sam's office.

He came bearing a take-out bag full of burritos.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:45 pm

"Why the burritos anyway?" Sara asks as they approach the door.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:57 pm

"It's lunch time. She's been busy recently, she might like food.

I dunno, food helps talk about things."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:08 pm

"You two can come in," came Ms. McManus' voice from inside.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:09 pm

"Good afternoon, Professor. I came to talk to you about...the search for Kraven.

I also brought lunch."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:12 pm

Sara shoots Sam that says that really isn't why they're here, but doesn't say anything aside from "Good afternoon."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:13 pm

"Why thank you. Have a seat, aye?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:35 pm

"Of course," Will smiled.

"I've just got off the phone with Interpol. Up until now, we'd been assuming Kraven had used some sort of short-range teleportation device, but as he hasn't shown up on ANY of Her Majesty's far-too-invasive security equipment, I'm thinking we're going to have to expand the search. I was hoping this would remain a domestic affair, but, well, you know."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:41 pm

"That limits what we can do here, I'm sure you're aware. We may have to involve SHIELD."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:49 pm

"Yeah. I'd prefer to keep secretive societies and covert agents out of this as much as possible, but that's....perhaps....personal bias over recent events," he said with a wry smirk.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:49 pm

"If Black Air is involved can we really rely on what the SIS did or didn't pick up though?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:55 pm

"SHIELD has resources and jurisdiction that X-Corporation doesn't, but I'll let you call the shot here."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 3:59 pm

Will exhaled. "We're going to have to at least have them on the lookout. This is beyond our capabilities to track," Will admitted.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 4:49 pm

"I'll see what I can get you, Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:02 pm

"Then this meeting was worth the cost of the burrito. I suppose it worked as a divine offering," he joked.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:03 pm

Sara reaches over and grabs Will's sleeve as he stands up and pulls him back down into the chair.

"There's one more thing he wanted to talk to you about."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:06 pm

"Something else I can do for you?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:50 pm

"It's...erm....sort of embarrassing. And sort of related, I suppose, to Kraven, in the sense that it...has to do with my...stay at Black Air."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 5:59 pm

"When I think of what Black Air did to you, I'm not certain 'embarrassing' is the word I'd use."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:34 pm

"It's just...

You know, you're very busy, I don't want to take up more of your time than I need to..." he started rambling.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:38 pm

"When Rihanna came on on the radio he turned into diamond."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:43 pm

Ms. McManus quirked a brow.

"That's a bit out of left field."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:48 pm

"And then a Little Lion Man. He was taking the songs as literal instructions to shift."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:51 pm

Will mumbled something unintelligible.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 6:55 pm

"And you think Black Air did this to him?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 7:00 pm

"No. Well, sort of. The nanites receive radio signals, but I think he's subconsciously mimicking the radio. It stops when he can't actually hear it. That's why we're here and not in Doctor Bowen's office." she smiles a bit wryly.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:06 pm

Will continued muttering, not really making eye-contact.

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:14 pm

"And your thoughts on this, Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:20 pm

"It's embarrassing, that's what it is," he finally burst. "Apparently, I'm too dumb to realize what should and should not work or what have you. It's not even Black Air's problem here, it's mine."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:35 pm

"And I keep telling him that it's not his fault his shape is linked to his subconsciousness, but he's set on believing it's because he's 'stupid'."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:46 pm

"Shapeshifters are often quite suggestible, Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:53 pm

"You never heard of Morph having these issues."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 1:56 pm

"Because Morph cavorts about like a Tex Avery character constantly. It's a bit hard to establish a baseline sometimes."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 5:19 pm

"Whereas I'm apparently more Dudley Doright."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 6:32 pm

"Regardless, it isn't as if this is something that can't be addressed."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 8:07 pm

"I suppose that's why we're here," Will sighed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 8:33 pm

"So how would you like to go about this? What's your comfort level, here?"

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:51 pm

"Well, I'm not an expert..."

At least, that's what he said -- it wouldn't take a mind reader to note he was less than comfortable, and Sam, of course, WAS one.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 2:23 pm

"What can I do to help put you at ease here, Will?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 2:58 pm

Will sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be judgmental or anything, and I know that you'll be able to help. I'm just...well, there's been sort of a parade of people in and around my mind ever since I got here, and I don't know if, erm, well, you know..."

Not quite sure I signed up for Celtic Pagan Goddesses. Goddessi? Goddesos.
