Vanessa and Darcy sat on the couch in the penthouse with a giant bowl of popcorn between them as they watched TV. Vanessa was curled up with her legs pressed against her chest and her chin resting on her knees. She was partly miffed because Jane had given up on ever finding a way back to Thor and had left to go on a brunch date with some guy named Rickey, or Richie something like that. All she knew is that now she was short one astrophysicist.
She felt close to giving up as well and moving back to New York, she had already been planning a visit having sent Rhea ahead of her to stay with Tony and Pepper a bit while she tied up some loose ends, now she was thinking of just staying there.
"What's beeping? Did you make more popcorn?" Darcy asked bringing her out of her brooding thoughts.
"No, the bowls still full." Vanessa replied as she listened to the beeping sound as well. Suddenly she shot to her feet sending popcorn all over Darcy as she ran into office/lab followed by Darcy who was brushing the popcorn out of her hair.
"What's the big idea?" Darcy said as she watched Vanessa dig through the piles of paper and technology sending most of it to the ground until she held up what looked like a handmade Gameboy. "Oh…is it supposed to be doing that?"
"I don't know." Vanessa said in frustration as she shook it. "It must be broken or something."
"Try hitting it." Darcy suggested taking the device and banging it on the side of the table, but it kept on.
"Where's Jane?" Vanessa asked Darcy.
"Oh…uh that restaurant, the one that overlooks the sky line…" Darcy said snapping her fingers trying to remember the name.
"I remember, know that one. Grab your coat, I need her help." Vanessa said as she ran around grabbing knee high boots pulling them over her skinny jeans the grabbed her grey pea coat pulling it over her long sleeved blue shirt with a silver floral embellish over her heart accented in black with a scooped neck. Her hair was in a single braid having just been washed that morning and was still damp. She snatched the car keys and her purse followed by Darcy doing the same then they dashed out of the front door.
