"Excellent." Good, he wouldn't need to insist to her parents that this was a perfectly safe, normal place to work which --mostly-- it was. Or at least it was as safe as any high tech laboratory where cutting edge science was preformed. Marie Curie kept radium in a desk drawer for goodness' sake-- Reed's lab was far safer than that. And they also had very excellent insurance.
Reed had actually slept for a few hours the night before- feeling some what more assured and definitely more exhausted after his conversation with Tony-- but that meant he was able to give the new lab assistant more of his attention than he otherwise might have. And he was making sense and not speaking completely in scientific jargon, so that was a plus as well.
"Have you ever been a lab assistant before, Miss Guthrie?"
