Who: Maxine Hunkel & Dr. Reed Richards
When: Backdated, Sept. 21st, 2012
Where: Baxter Building
What: Lunchbreak talks
Rating: PG-13 for some unhappiness
September meant that Maxine could finally start her internship at the Baxter Building. Thankfully, there was a very nice train ride between New York and Metropolis that wasn't too long, but gave her a little time to study on the ride. After that it was a short walk from the station and an elevator up to the top floors of the Baxter Building and assisting Dr. Sue Richards.
Maxine loved the facility and everyone there immediately, especially funny HERBIE, the robot that greeted her every day. Both Reed and Sue were very nice and accommodating of her school schedule. And there were always fascinating experiments going on, and interesting people stopping by to ask questions or to work on things. She'd been juggling all of it pretty well, and keeping her GPA up of course as she helped Mrs. Richards.
But there were still things on her mind after her return to the US before the start of this last semester. And a very distinct lack of people she could talk to about it. At lunch on Friday, she finally got up the courage to seek out the other Dr. Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic.
HERBIE helpfully informed her that he was in lab three, and she joined him, stepping into the doorway. "Dr. Richards? Is ... can I talk to you about something?"
