[After Judgement Day]
I have about 3 different ideas on this story for further down the road when the whole Jenny/Jeanne thing is over. So this would be when Tony is agent afloat after the team is separated. This is an idea for one of the scenarios when it comes to Tony and Claire. Let me know what you think of it :) Sorry that the first version of this chapter was all messed up.

As they walked in behind Tony, Claire glanced around at the dull work room that Tony had for himself. Seeing Tony once again after all this time was a bit surreal, if not awkward.
"Whoa boss! This is a whole new side of you." Agent Norton whistled behind her. Claire frowned in confusion, whipping around to scold the probie. Her eyes caught sight of where her teammate was staring. On the wall beside the door was a collage of pictures, all of them including her in some way. Claire quietly stepped closer, her eyes flitting across all the pictures. She smiled slightly looking over some specific ones. One of her and Tony back in college, her wearing his hoodie after one of his games, smiling as the duo posed together. Another picture that she distinctly remembered him taking when they were all giggly and probably a bit tipsy. It was the two of them in bed kissing with wide smiles, she was actually laughing against his mouth. Tony had decided to take some impromptu pictures that night to keep on his phone. The blissful and happy looks on their faces caused a lump to form in her throat. Making her way across the various photos she glared. One of the centerpieces of the collage was a picture of her in a bikini, not realizing he was snapping photos. Claire turned towards Tony pointing at the photo accusingly, while he sheepishly avoided her eyes.
"What is this doing here?" she growled, not happy that he had those types of pictures on display for all to see.
"I don't see the problem with it. If I was alone at sea for months I'd bring that picture with me too." Norton gushed, ogling the photo of his boss. He knew she was hot, told her often enough, but this was something else. The other two agents turned to glare at him heatedly.
"You still planning on having kids Norton? Cause I can kill that dream real quick." Claire growled. Norton paled, laughing awkwardly.
"Sorry, it's just a flattering picture." He chuckled, looking back at the photo.
"Shut up Norton." Both Tony and Claire snarled. The man looked between the two, his eyes glittering knowingly. Claire glared in annoyance, now catching on to what he was doing. She glanced over at Tony, not sure how to start things now that this was out in the open.
"Can I talk to you privately." She murmured, nodding back towards the corridor. Tony nodded and passed them, shooting the younger man a venomous glare. Claire sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. This whole thing was a mess.
"That doesn't seem like some innocent fling to me." Norton commented, smiling deviously at his boss. She glared tiredly at him.
"Don't start today." She told him sternly before walking out to talk with Tony.
