Lucas looked down at the disintegrated napkin he'd been nervously destroying since he arrived. She was only 5 minutes late. He wondered if she had been scared off by how fancy the restaurant was. He just had the urge to show off a little, first impressions and all. He tore off another bit of the napkin and let it fall into his lap.
"Lucas Doe, you sure know how to impress a girl."
Lucas looked up at his date and quickly brushed the napkin pieces off his lap. She was a tall girl with green hair which he assumed was dyed. He was kind of worried as to who Nate had set him up with.
"Lyn, right?" he asked, standing to greet her. Nate hadn't said much about the girl. She was a PA at a very big company; she'd only moved to New York recently and lived with a girl called Emily, Max's cousin, which was how he knew her.
"Lyn Barker." she replied as he took her hand and kissed it. She didn't blush, but the corners of her mouth visibly twitched. They both sat down.
"So Nate told me you work as a PA?"
"Mmmhm" Lyn nodded as she swallowed her water. "For Mr Stark and Dr Banner."
"Really?" Lucas pulled closer to the table, "I represent Stark! Haven't ever met the guy though; He never shows up for meetings."
"Yeah, he prefers to spend most of his time in the Lab with Dr Banner."
Lucas laughed.
"Are we really going to spend this date talking about Tony Stark?"
"Maybe not..." Lyn smiled.
The end of the evening came about and the two of them sat on a bench outside the restaurant. Lucas was laughing.
"So this guy, Thor, just wandered in, completely naked?"
"Well, no, he had the cape on."
Lucas laughed even more, Lyn laughed with him. When they eventually stopped laughing, Lyn spoke.
"So, what now?"
"What do you mean?" Lucas was confused.
"Are we going to spend more time together or is this it? End here, nice to meet you..."
Lyn trailed off. Lucas was smiling at her, laughing slightly.
"What's so funny?"
