Bruce sits in a booth, working on calculations on papers. On the table is a mass of papers, scribbled with neat handwritten equations. A small device, looking like a borg cube in miniature, sits, pulsing with green light, in the middle of the table.

"Boo." Whispered low in his ear.

How did she manage to get that close without him noticing?

Magic, of course!

he jumps, and glances around, then smiles as he sees her.

"Hello, Serena. How are you?"

"I am fine... and you, Bruce, how are you?"

"I am doing good. Just working on some numbers. Nothing important today. What have you been up to?"

One of his hands goes out to her, hesitating before gently touching her face.

She accepts the touch, and her skin is soft and warm. "Hmm... mostly, spending time with my friends."

He smiles and gently touches her cheek for a moment before letting his hand fall back to his side.

"Sounds good. Friendshiup... is what has kept me sane all these years."

"Friends and close friends are two of the most important things in life."

He cocks his head.

"What is the difference?"

"Close friends are special... they are like blood relatives you choose to have."

he nods then.

"I understand. Billy, Hank, Magius, and Elrond are that to me. I have a few other friends, but those four are as close to family as I have ever had."

He smiles.

"It helps, having someomne who cares."

Serena just nods, smiling.

He smiles back.

"You are an intriguing woman."

"Intriguing, how come?" She tilts head, curious, eyes sparkling with mischief....

"Beautiful, smart, kind, caring, sexy as hell, and quiet."

She laughs softly, and nods... "Well, I learned the merits of silent observation..." No, she does not contest the other claims

He grins.

"Silence is often very nice, very welcome, when it is the right kind."

"Not cold and not ankward?"

He nods.

"Exactly."

He smiles.

"Silence can be warm and friendly, and comforting."

"I am glad to be helpful..." She moves closer to him.

He smiles and shifts slightly, making space beside himself, if she wants to sit.

he watches her. She is beyind his experience and interesting.

Serena does sit close, smiling up to him.

He smiles at her, his mouth suddenly dry.

"Ah..."

Then he just leans in and presses a soft kiss to her lips. He is hesitant and nervous. These situations always make him nervous.

Serena is tender, gentle and comforting. The spontaneous kiss was a surprise, but a welcome one, and the kiss is accepted, returned, and improved upon.

He shivers. Her kiss is... warm, and strong, and...

he stops trying to think and just continues to kiss her, finally havin to break for breath, breathing heavy, eyes a little wide as he stares at her.

"wow."

Serena smiles, taking one deep breath... "Hmm, spontaneous... I like it..."
