Who: Steve and Olivia but Peter and Walter are welcome to join in!
What: Hanging out
Where: Boston, the basement at Harvard
When: Saturday
Rating: Probably PG-13 if Walter keeps talking about sex xD and quite possibly for darker themes. I never know.

He'd read Walter's post and found himself both amused and a bit weirded out. Honestly, the man was a bit strange and Olivia hadn't been joking. Yet all that aside Steve wanted to see Olivia and figured if he wanted to see her, he'd have to meet her 'family' as well so he'd bite the bullet. With a small shoulder bag over his shoulder resting against his hip he made his way to the Boston Portkey and from there took a bus to Harvard University. Winding his way around he found an elevator (after asking directions from a student) and headed down to the basement.

Coming upon a rather sturdy door he actually found himself hesitating. What a strange place to work! That and he was wondering if Olivia was having a laugh at his expense. However he reached up and knocked firmly anyway, before sliding his hands into his pockets and waiting.

	"Well it's not exactly working for the FBI.. or.. something, I'm not sure. I should really figure out what I'm doing. So.. I was thinking about making us all lunch if you're hungry?" she offered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lunch would be nice. I could go for something to eat." Normally? Steve could always go for something to eat. Probably a side effect of the Super Soldier Serum he was given. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then I'll start lunch so that Walter doesnt try to stick something in the microwave that shouldn't be microwaved." She headed back to the kitchen, motioning him to follow her back. "So what have you been up to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kicksnaziass 2009-01-31 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, that would be bad." He followed her more inside, refusing to give into the urge to actually start poking around. Steve was there to play the gentleman after all. "Very little, if I'm honest. Just the normal routine I suppose." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seeksthepattern 2009-01-31 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	Olivia could see him looking around out of the corner of her eye, and she smiled. "Usually bad for cleaning out the microwave.. so I'll use the stove." As far as she knew Walter wasn't going to put anything on the stove. He had a hotplate. She started pulling out things so that she could make lunch. "If you want to look around go right ahead."

	"Are you sure its alright? I really don't want to take the chance of breaking anything..." But he sure was damn curious about what this, that and the other thing did. Maybe he'd ask for an explanation, even if it took all day. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No no.. go ahead. Just be mindful. If it's labeled like it's dangerous then.. don't touch it, I'm sure you'll be fine." She gave a grin. "But don't ask me about anything, you'll have to ask Walter. Peter might know but.. well he can translate Walterspeak pretty well." She was already putting things in the pot and stirring them and all of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Alright then." And with that Steve set down his shoulder bag near the table and began wandering along the tables, thoughtful. He wondered if the other man who had his face, the one Olivia knew, had looked on in the same wonder as he did at what lay before him. Or even if the man had seen any of this at all.

To be honest this John Scott character intrigued him, if only because they shared a face.

	Though she was paying attention to what she was cooking she couldn't help but watch him out of the corner of her eye. John never really got the chance to look at this stuff because he had died before .. well hell, if it wasn't for John dying she wouldn't have known Walter or Peter at all. "Do you want a drink?"

	"I'm fine with water for now." Steve replied as he resisted the urge to poke at a strange green goop on the table. So this was where crazy experiments went down. How interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seeksthepattern 2009-02-01 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	Going over to the fridge, she pulled out a jug of water and poured him a glass. When she handed it to him she glanced to see what he was looking at. "Uh.. I dunno what that is. Might be left over snot from a giant cold virus. I wish I was kidding." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kicksnaziass 2009-02-01 03:08 pm UTC (link)
	"That is positively disgusting." And yet Steve seemed extremely amused by it, even as he accepted his water and made his way back over to the kitchen area. "What did you make? It smells good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seeksthepattern 2009-02-01 03:19 pm UTC (link)
	Olivia laughed, "Well I hope it hasn't put off your appetite." Though he did say it smelled good so maybe he had a strong stomach. "It's chicken parmesean. It should be ready in a little bit." She glanced around and pointed out some things to him. "And that's where Walter likes to test things by giving them LSD. It's a thing of his." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kicksnaziass 2009-02-01 03:34 pm UTC (link)
	The mentioned of LSD made Steve perk up a bit, looking in the direction Olivia had pointed. "You are kidding me, aren't you? Why does he give things LSD? Just to see what happens?" Mind, a cat on LSD would probably be funny but that seemed inhumane. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seeksthepattern 2009-02-01 03:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Nope, I'm definitely not kidding. Something about LSD makes things show brain patterns that they usually don't or something? And a lot of this .. well the people who have been taking people and experimenting on them haven't been doing your basic brainwash stuff. It's way more.. advanced." And that was putting it mildly. She barely understood it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kicksnaziass 2009-02-01 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Steve didn't really understand any of it and merely shrugged, nodding. "Well. Okay then." Yet he was a little uncertain about the ethics of such experiments. Though if the enemy was using things far worse then what else could you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The ethics were questionable, that was very true. After all, Walter's lab assistant died and that was what got him put away, right? But she trusted Walter, and more then that Peter to do the right thing. Which was very ironic considering Peter was a crook. Probably best not to bring that up though.

Then there was the big tank in the middle of the room which she went in to get John's memories. It was a little surreal being with Steve here like this. "So uh.. dinner's ready. I should get the guys."

	"Oh. Alright. Would you like me to set the table or anything?" Back into gentleman mode he went! Because he was about to meet the make-shift "family" of a very pretty woman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seeksthepattern 2009-02-01 04:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure if you want to. Everything's in the cabinet by the stove.. I'll be right back." Then she headed up and out to go find Peter and Walter and bring them down for dinner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kicksnaziass 2009-02-01 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	While she went on a search for the two mystery men, Steve got out the dishes. It helped ease his nerves when he was able to do something productive and? Setting the table was productive. So he tried not to think about meeting Peter and Walter and instead focused on setting the table. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Sorry I’m late,” Walter stated as he finally arrived back to the laboratory. “I turns out that, despite the claim of late century advertisement, it takes more than 3 licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.”
Hanging up his outside jacket, he reflexively donned a white lab coat over her sweater-vest.
“I could probably expedite the process to their claim, but the damage done to the tongue would most likely be irreversible…. Oh, I see the cultures are done,” he concludes in a shifting thought, walking next to Steve to fetch a Petri dish, inside a moldy configuration. “Hard to believe it only took a few hours, yes?” he asks with a enthused smile one might find on a 10 year old.

Olivia smiled as she saw Walter come back up from the lab. "Too bad, that would be one handy lollipop. And yes, the cultures are done but.. you can work on that later."

She would pull him away if she had to from the lab, "Dinner's ready and we have a guest so.. we need to come in and eat and I have to find Peter. Steve is here. You know, Steve that looks like John. That one."

	"Yes, sure. Hard to believe." Steve had no idea what Walter was talking about and simply smiled, nodding a little. He glanced at Olivia offering her a little smile. "You should go find Peter. I think I'll be fine here. Won't I, Walter?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There was no need to go find Peter. He walked in just then, talking on his cell phone, then ending the call and shutting it as he saw Olivia, giving her a warm smile. "Hey Liv!" he said. The smile faded a bit when he saw Captain America...or Steve Rogers, he supposed. Wasn't like the guy was in costume or anything.

"Walter," he said, having heard the tootsie roll pop comment, "probably not the best idea. We may just have to settle for more licks." He gave Steve a nod. "Peter Bishop. Nice to meet you." Even if he did look like John Scott, which didn't say much about how healthy that relationship would be for Olivia. He distracted himself with the cultures his father was talking about. "Remind me what those are again, Walter?"

Walter briefly wore a slightly saddened expression, not unusual when Peter played the part of the “rational” family member. Tongue research would be scrapped. But in an instant the life returned back to his worn face as Peter at least feigned interest in the culture he had been growing.
“Ah, this is a particular growth of heiphinic wotis.” Unsealing the disk, Walter ran his finger along the edge, then placing the moldy formation in his mouth. “Cheese,” he adds, though it is likely that Peter would be the only person to know what Walter was talking about.
“There are numerous types of course. I thought since we have the cow, we might as well explore other dairy options. Did you know that cheese contains casein? This was linked to a scare in the 1990s of cheese aggravating autism.”
He extends the culture towards Steve. “Care to try?” he asks with a smile.

Oh good, no having to go find Peter. She introduced them all briefly and glanced over at whatever Peter and Walter were discussing. "That's cheese?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. Right yeah. Well that was up to Steve if he wanted to try any of it but she probably wasn't going to.

"Don't ruin your appetites. Dinner's ready when you guys want to come to the table," she pointed and then went back into the make shift kitchen so that she could get the food out of the oven and onto the plates so that they could eat.

	"Maybe a little later, Walter." Steve gently rested a hand on the older man's shoulder. "Because I would hate to spoil my appetite and not eat what Olivia prepared." The man could feel Peter's suspicious gaze on him and the hairs on the back of his neck rose. What was that guy's deal? He moved over to the table and sat down. (Reply to this) (Parent)
