Darcy visits Laurie in her lab and gets a brief introduction to Nate
Darcy headed down to Laurie's lab shortly after being asked, taking a few minutes to freshen up and take another dose of pain reliever to keep her face from hurting. She moved down the hall on silent feet, coming to a stop outside the slightly open door as she heard Laurie's voice.
"-- again, Dr. Essex. I'll see you at our next appointment. Hello Nate."
Darcy raised a quick eyebrow at Laurie's flirty tone, smoothing her face into an indignant smile before making note of the name in her preferred note app, backing it up, and switching back to her text with Barton. She knocked lightly on the door as she slipped inside. "I do NOT squeak," she said emphatically as she carefully shut the door behind her. "And you can't prove--Oh, hello! Sorry for interrupting," she continued, waving awkwardly at the younger man on the screen. "Didn't realize Lo was on a call."
"Uh, I-" The obviously younger man suddenly looked nervous, eyes darting around. "I should go, Lau- Dr. Collins. I've got- our next appointment will- I mean, I- oh, right Dad! Bye!" He killed the call.
“So, that was Nate,” Laurie replied with a brief chuckle and shake of her head. “I’ve been helping him with some issues around physio. He can be a little shy.”
"He's adorable," Darcy grinned, crossing the room to wrap her arms around Laurie. "Sorry for interrupting your call though. I would've waited a bit to come down if I'd known."
“I did semi-order you down here.” Laurie reminded her with a return smile, turning her chair to give Darcy her full attention. “And you do very much squeak, but only at certain times, and it is very flattering every time.”
Darcy's face flushed pink, the color spreading across her chest and over the tips of her ears. "It's very flattering when you make cute noises too." She covered her face with her hands. "I have no game or chill at all today, heck."
"Nora seems interesting, even if she is just another aspect of Kevin," Laurie observed fondly, pulling Darcy down gently to sit on her lap. "And you never have to have game or chill with me. I'm pretty sure anyone you ask would say that I have none either, so we're a good match."
Darcy wrapped her arms around Laurie's waist, squeezing gently. "I think it was just the unexpectedness? That brief flash of "wow hot lady" became "wait that's Kevin, oh shit, hot competent badass mentor lady" and then I walked into a wall. Not that you aren't a hot, competent badass in your own right, I'm just used to seeing you like that."
She brushed her lips over Laurie's cheek, giving the blonde a smile. "I like having game! Making men flustered is fun."
“You have excellent taste in women if I do say so myself,” Laurie replied before leaning forward to give her a deep kiss. “And you definitely still make men flustered. Poor Nate didn’t know where to look.”
"He's adorably young. I'm sure he'll get less flustered with exposure or age, maybe both. Points to him for not just staring straight at my boobs though, someone did a good job raising that kid." Darcy smirked against Laurie's mouth briefly, relaxing into the kiss as she slid her hands up the blonde's top. "I do enjoy my great taste in women, or is that my great tasting woman? I don't know, may have to test that again later to jog my memory.."
“I think that can be arranged.” Laurie sighed softly at the feel of Darcy’s hands, enjoying the brief respite from focus. “How have you been feeling, love? Do you need a top-up?”
"Probably not a bad idea, I need a clear mind for all the data we got from Barton." Right now the only thing Darcy was interested in analyzing was how to get more of those sighs out of Laurie, and maybe some light teasing about her new friend. "Tell me about Nate? Is he as young as he looks, or just one of those deceptively lucky people that looks like a forever teen until the facial hair comes in?" She trailed kisses along Laurie's jaw as she asked, a brief brush of lips and light scrapes of teeth while her hands skimmed up her girlfriend's back and sides.
Laurie didn’t need touch to use her powers but it did have the benefit of increasing the dosage quite substantially, which meant she got to use less of a push and could concentrate on precision. She brushed her fingers gently across Darcy’s forehead and then moved them into her girlfriend's hair as brought Darcy’s lips back to her own. It took only a momentary push to send a combination of calming and pleasure hormones.
Darcy let out a soft sigh as her body relaxed. "You don't have to worry about Nora or anyone else, love. I'll notice, I'll probably flirt a little. It's fun, but I wouldn't risk us for a single night." She murmured the words against Laurie's ear as she continued to nip at the sensitive skin. "If it's job-related I'll tell you before if possible, and as soon as I get home if not."
Laurie hmm'd quietly in pleasure, tilting her head to allow better access as she continued to stroke the fingers of her remaining hand through Darcy's hair and down her neck. "You know I wouldn't mind you getting closer, I'm not possessive, Love. I just want to make sure you're happy and that you don't get hurt. I know Kevin cares for you and has a less-than-ideal opinion of me. I don't want that to harm your work or your relationships with your team."
"I know you aren't, but it's still polite to give you a heads-up. Just call me a little bit old-fashioned about that," Darcy teased. She let herself enjoy the feel of Laurie's fingers in her hair and on the sensitive skin of her neck as she gathered her thoughts. "Kevin.. generally stays out of relationship stuff, I think? I didn't know his opinion of you until Nora told you. Things have stayed perfectly professional, even with people like Artie that don't bother masking their dislike. It's fine. I'm pretty sure most of the standoffish vibes are from people who are generally like that or for some reason just decided they don't like me, not because of our relationship. And if it is that, they're mannered enough to not say that out loud."
“I don’t deserve you,” Laurie whispered, almost absently as she moved them gently to give her a better grip on her girlfriend with her one hand. It was another reminder of how she couldn’t do one more thing that she might have liked to. She was certainly strong enough to lift Darcy. “But I’m glad we chose each other anyway.”
"Nonsense, love. Where's this self-doubt coming from?" Darcy kissed Laurie's temple fondly, hands tracing the lines of her bra. "I'm glad you let me in. As friends and as we are now. But if you're doubting that, I think you need to stop working for the night and come upstairs so I can show you just how much I treasure you, other people's opinions be damned."
“I definitely like the sound of that.” Laurie gently placed Darcy back on her feet and turned to switch off the various pieces of equipment she’d been working with. Finished, she offered Darcy her arm in a slightly formal manner. “M’lady?”
Darcy laughed lightly, tucking her hand into Laurie's offered forearm as they left the lab. "Time to get you nice and relaxed so I can banish that self-doubt away, m'love."
