Junior Agents of SHIELD (DemonicOne & Dbspock)

Nike looked at Courtney skeptically, then shrugged. She appeared to be behaving normally, at least for a girl, even if she had been hallucinating earlier. "Sure." He agreed as he headed over to the fridge. "I'll heat some up for us in the microwave. And hey...there's a table down here now we can eat at." Mike pointed out as he opened the fridge and got four pieces of pizza out. He put them on a plate and put them in the microwave before he pressed the reheat button. As the pizza was warming up, he went back to the fridge and got a root beer. "What do you want to drink?" He asked.

************************************

Barry nodded sympathetically when she mentioned a bad dream. He'd been afraid of something like that, which was why he'd woken her. He hadn't planned to ask what the dream was about, that seemed way too personal, and he got a surprised look on his face when she began to explain anyway. He nodded when she said she didn't want to go into detail, he wasn't going to press her, but he'd listen if she wanted to talk. He nodded again as she rushed past him, and watched her go into the bathroom. He stared at the door for a few minutes, then went and sat down in front of his computer. If Skye wasn't out in a few minutes, he'd go check on her. In the meantime, he'd get her email set up. Every teenager needed email, after all.
 
Courney nodded "Ill have a bottle of water to drink, Im going to go freshen up while you heat up the food. I wont be long." She said as she walked by him and into the bathroom where she closed the door and stood looking into the mirror trying to convince herself that she really hadnt seen the box glowing and that it was all in her head. After a minute or two of staring into the mirror she ran some water and washed her face before heading back out tot he dining area they had for the two of them. "Well, the hard parts over with. Everything is at least in the right rooms now. Now we al just need to figure out where we want what. That part is going to take awhile." she laughed slightly leaning back in the chair

**************************************

Skye wiped the tears from her eyes and threw a bit more water onto her face before she came out and walked back to her room to grab her sketchpad and some pencils before she noticed Barry doing something on the computer "What are you doing?" She asked curiously since even though she could see it was something on the internet and he had her name up there but she could figure out what exactly he was up to. Was he searching for her records or something? As far as she knew those were beyond sealed off. Even she couldnt get a look at them.
 
"Water...adventurous." Mike teased her, though he did get the water she requested. He did stare a bit at the bathroom door after she entered, recalling what he had seen last night in that very room. When the microwave beeped, it pulled him out of his memories, and he got the pizza out of the oven and set it on the table along with their drinks. "Dinner is served." Mike said with a flourish of his arm, then playfully pulled out her chair for her, helping her get seated as if they were in an actual restaurant before he took his own seat. "Well, close enough, at least." he agreed. Some chairs and stuff might get moved around as they settled in, but it wouldn't be that big a deal. "But yeah...I need to organize my comics again. That's going to take a bit."

********************************

Barry didn't look over at Skye until she addressed him, not wanting to violate her space more than he already had. but when she spoke, he turned and smiled at her. "Getting your email set up so I can spam you." He teased her. "Any preference for a user name? Or should I just use your name? We're on our own server, so you don't have to worry about it being taken or something."
 
Courtney couldnt help but laugh at Mikes behavior. "Why thank you sir!" She said and sat down. She was slowly starting to grow quite fond of Mike. She never outright despised him or Pat either one but she did resent the situation because it meant she had to leave her old home, school and friends in LA but its not like she was a million miles away. It was literally just down the highway from LA and only a few miles outside of town so if it came to it she could hop on her bicycle and ride back and forth until she got her license. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Im going to need to reorganize all my books and CDs and whatnot as well but I had been looking for an excuse anyway." She shrugged and waited for him to sit down and then started to eat not realizing how hungry she was and having finished off her pizza in fairly short order.

********************************

She shrugged "Well I mean you would be the only one with my email anyway so youre the only one who would email me. Not like I have any friends or whatever so its whatever." She shrugged it off. She could tell he was trying to joke but somehow she either didnt get the joke or didnt care. Which one wasnt entirely clear. "As for username? Im not sure. This is my first time having an email or anything like that so I dont know what to pick other than just my name."
 
"You are welcome, Ma'am." Nike had been more than apprehensive about suddenly getting a sister, quite frankly especially one that looked as hot as Courtney, but she actually wasn't that difficult to talk to, and she seemed to get his sense of humor which made things much easier. He gave a slight bow as he took a seat across from her. He chuckled when she mentioned her books. "Yeah, I know all about your book collection. Those things were heavy." He mock complained, though they really didn't weigh more than his comics.

Mike didn't devour his pizza quite as fast as Courtney, but it was close. "Want some more?" he asked as he considered seconds. He then grinned a bit as he spotted some tomato sauce on her chin. "Umm...you've got some..." He trailed off and pointed to his own chin, figuring she'd get the hint.

*********************************

"Oh, don't worry. I'll add you to same mailing lists so you can save money on auto insurance as well." He continued to try and tease her, not picking up on the fact she didn't get the joke. He shrugged at her noncommittal reply about her email address. "Well, I'll just use Skye then. I can always change it later...or show you how to change it, if your curious." He offered with a shrug, not sure if she'd enjoy that or not. "Anyway...I've just about got your laptop updated, and it's already on the wifi. So when you go to use it, you'll just have to set the password for it."
 
Courtney playfully rolled her eyes when Mike mentioned how heavy her books were. "Hey be glad I donated half of them before we moved here." She laughed "Or else it could have been twice as heavy>" She sat back and took a drink of her water. "On a side note this place is definitely a keeper. It even reheats well. Some places dont even have that." When he mentioned she had something she looked at him confused then when he pointed to his chin she realized what he was trying to tell her as she grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth and chin.

"Did I get it?" She asked since she didnt want to pick up her phone just to look at herself. "I guess we should get started on unpacking then huh?" She said as she stood up having forgotten about the glowing, vibrating box in the closet.


****************************

"But I dont have a drivers license so why would i need to save money on car insurance?" She asked still clearly not getting the joke. "If I think of anything good Ill let you know." She said as he finihsed setting up her email for her. "So, I was going to try and get started on that picture you wanted. Do you have a specific pose or look you want for her? Anything specific you want her to wear? Or do you want her to be wearing anything at all?"
 
"You had twice as many books? How did you have room for a bed?" Mike teased her, amazed how well they seemed to be getting along. He nodded when she complimented the pizza. "Yeah...Dad liked it as well. I bet we can get him to make it a family tradition." He told her, then sighed with relief when she didn't get upset with him for pointing out her food mishap. He'd heard some girls threw a fit if you dared point out they were less than perfect, he was glad Courtney wasn't like that.

He nodded when she asked if she got it, then nodded when she suggested unpacking. "Yeah...those comics won't unpack themselves.' He agreed as he rose from the table as well, and headed for his room.

*********************************

Barry's grin faded as his joke not only fell flat, but wasn't even recognized as a joke. "Well, you'll probably need your learners permit soon." he told her, not trying to joke again. He nodded as she said she'd think about her email user name, then raised an eyebrow as she mentioned his picture. She'd really meant it, it seemed. He opened his mouth to tell her the kind of pose he was thinking, then his mouth stayed open at her last question. The thought had never occurred to him. "Wait...wearing anything at all? As in...naked?" Was she actually suggesting she'd do a nude drawing for him? That couldn't be right, but he couldn't come up with anything else.
 
"Ha ha, very funny." she mocked back at him when he teased her book collection "I actually had multiple bookshelves back in my old room. Only had room for one of them on the truck which is why I donated so many of my books. It was that or throw them away and I couldnt bring myself to throw away perfectly good books so I donated them to schools and the library branch near our old apartment." Then Barry mentioned making the pizza place a family tradition and that idea actually make Courtney quite happy "Yeah I could get behind that. It would definitely give us more of a family bonding experience. Since I dont know how much time we will have normally with Pat and mom both working and both of us going to school and all my extra curriculars."

She picked up the plates from the table "Ill take care of the dishes since you dished it out. Then Im going to get started unpacking and maybe Ill get a proper shower tonight now that we have real towels and I have some clothes." She laughed


**************************************

"Hmm...Yeah probably" She shrugged. Driving was the last thing on her mind since she didnt exactly have anywhere to go. Its not like she had any friends or anything and she had moved to an entirely new city now so she didnt really know anyone or where anything was in the city. "Yeah...? You know like nude? I can draw nude. Im not horrible at it. You wanna see?" She said perking up again since drawing was her one passion and hobby that she had been able to maintain throughout all her different foster homes.
 
"Damn...that sucks." Mike said quietly, grateful he didn't have to part with his collection due to the move. "But yeah...glad someone gets to enjoy them at least." He shrugged when she mentioned family bonding. "Yeah...that's going to take some getting used to. Before, I guess anytime Dad and I did something together it was family bonding...now we've got to plan and coordinate that kind of thing." He smiled, pleasantly surprised, when she picked up his plate and said she'd take care of it...having a sister had its perks, it seemed. He did, however, turn bright red when Courtney mentioned a shower. He'd managed to push the memory of the aftermath of her last shower out of his mind, but her innocent words brought the image of her naked body he glimpsed in the mirror rushing back. "Uh...yeah...yeah..." He mumbled. "Umm...Dad said he found the clog in the hot water line, so you shouldn't have any issues. As long as you remember the towel."

************************************

"Um...yeah..." Barry said softly, his curiosity getting the better of him. For a moment he wondered if she'd drawn any nude self portraits, and that was what she was offering to show him, and he wasn't sure how he felt about that. Sure, he was curious, but he didn't want to violate her privacy...but if she was offering, he wouldn't be violating anything, would he? But then the more rational part of his brain kicked in, and he figured she had just been using her imagination and the drawings wouldn't even be of people he knew...but then...she would have had to use her own body as a model in some respects...right?
 
Courtney made her way to her bedroom where she dug through her clothes until she found her favorite baby blue pajama set. It was nothing special but a simple button down top and a pair of pants. But the fabric was lightweight and very breathable so it was perfect even for the middle of summer. She grabbed a towel and the rest of her shower supplies and headed off to the bathroom. "Did you need to use it or anything before I shower? I promise I wont take long and if Pat fixed the hot water like you said then there should be plenty left after I get done."

*********************

She walked over to her sketchbook and flipped to the back which was where she kept her nude drawings. That way no one would know they were there except for her. She did on very rare occasions use her own body for reference when drawing characters nude but more often than not she could find clothed references in other media and use those to give her at least a general idea of how the characters would look nude. "Here." She said handing Barry the sketchbook. "Take a look and see what you think. Theres probably half a dozen or so pages of various characters in various poses in varying states of undress ranging from lingerie to full nude."
 
Mike glanced over at her, then quickly focused on sorting out his comics, well aware that he'd be getting naked in the bathroom shortly after she finished with her shower. "Uh...no...I'm good." He mumbled in response. Unless she was one of those girls who took hours in the bathroom, he should be fine. Worst case, he could always use the bathroom upstairs if needed.

***************************************

Barry reached out and hesitatingly took the sketchbook, almost as if he was afraid it would burn him. When nothing of the sort happened, he looked at the first drawing. It was no one he recognized in what looked like lingerie. Skye didn't stop him, so he flipped the page and looked at her other drawings as well. He couldn't tell if she'd used herself as a reference or not...he couldn't even tell if the drawings were anatomically accurate, he wasn't an expert on the female body, but it was enough he could feel an erection coming on. "Wow...these are very good." Barry told her, holding said sketchbook to hide the growing bulge in his pants.
