Lucas walked into the office rubbing his head. Nate was sat on the edge of his desk, waiting for him.
"Rough night?"
"You don't know the half of it. You were wrong, by the way." Lucas laughed, pouring some water for himself.
"Unlikely, you've seen my record." Nate shifted to a chair as Lucas sat at his desk.
"Well we should mark the calendars for two reasons then." Lucas smiled. Nate narrowed his eyes.
"She said yes?"
"She said yes."
"That's awesome! We have to go for drinks later!" Nate leapt to his feet.
"Actually we're having an engagement party at mine on Saturday; Lyn is inviting her work friends too."
"Good thing I'm your only work friend. Can I bring Max?"
"I'd be offended if you didn't."
Nate nodded and left Lucas to his work.
Meanwhile, Lyn stood at the entrance to the lab. Tony was glaring down at some kind of circuitry, a screwdriver in his mouth.
"Tony, where's Bruce, I have to tell him something."
"He's in the lounge with everyone else," the screwdriver clattered onto the desk, clearly Tony had forgotten it was there. "We had a thing last night; they're running over things with Fury."
"I saw on the news. And why aren't you there?"
"Matinence. I can't figure out where this part of circuitry goes into my suit."
Lyn looked at the circuit Tony held up to her.
"You realise I can barely wire a plug right?"
He looked at her blankly.
"Go talk to Bruce."
As Lyn turned to leave, Tony called after her.
"By the way Lyn, nice ring."
Lyn smiled and shook her head, before walking down the hallway to the lounge. She passed Nick on the way, but he was too involved in his tablet. She made a mental note to just send him a memo later.
"Did everyone have a fun evening then?" Lyn asked as she entered the room, "Emily was glued to the TV all night."
"I hope she didn't worry too much. She mentioned she was a worrier." Steve said quietly. Lyn smiled.
"She didn't." Lyn said, knowing that Emily had burst out crying when she thought Steve had been hit.
"What's with the ring?" Clint cut in, pointing at her hand. Natasha elbowed him rather quickly.
"Oh, um…" Lyn turned red. "Lucas and I are getting married."
"PRAISE BE!" Thor roared, "I HOPE YOUR SUITOR IS WORTHY!"
"Are you having a party?" Clint asked, prompting another swift elbow from Natasha. Lyn laughed.
"We are, it's at Lucas' apartment, I'll give you all the address later. Bruce, can you sign these?"
"Congratulations." Bruce whispered as Lyn leant in to show him where to sign.
