Upon arriving at her appointed room, Parker admired the view for a moment, noting the sealed windows with a sigh. That was one of the things she hated about modern high-rise buildings. She never understood why people got so nervous about being up high.
After removing some of the more questionable items from her bag and storing them in a vent, Parker headed back to the elevators. When the doors rolled open, she found herself face to face with Eliot, who had, just minutes ago, disembarked on the floor below. She smiled slightly and rocked up on her toes as he stepped toward her.
"The windows don't open," she informed him, causing the retrieval specialist to return her smile.
"I know. Guess they're scared someone'll fall out."
"I wouldn't fall. Jump, sure, but I'd be harnessed."
"Not enough architects take your particular skill set into account as a positive when designing these places."
"I could cut through the glass no problem, but I think that would make Nate twitch. And not in the funny way."
"Wanna get out of here? Do something?"
"No and yes."
Eliot grinned as Parker grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him back into her suite.

The action figure--no, collectable department of FAO Schwartz was packed when Hardison arrived. After settling into his hotel room, the hacker had taken the elevator up to Parker's room, but had turned away when he saw the 'DO NOT DISTURB' sign. The same sign was posted on Eliot's door, so he decided to just head out alone.
He loved his teammates in all their strangeness, really he did. But he was not willing to risk life and limb by bothering them when they posted notices specifically prohibiting it. Because, honestly, he wouldn't put booby trapping their doors past their paranoid little selves. Knowing Sophie was dragging Nate out to dinner, Hardison didn't even try to convince either of them to accompany him.
The action figure--no, collectable department of FAO Schwartz was packed when Hardison arrived. From the bits of conversation he overheard, a bunch of new Star Trek figures, from the new movie, were the cause of all the commotion. He smirked and thought, Amateurs. He had ordered his online months ago.
Drifting over to the less hectic aisles, Hardison began scanning the shelves. No. No. No…Oh hold up! Yes!
Triumphantly, he scooped up a Series 4 Doctor Who Sontaran Stratagem Set that included Donna Noble, a Sontaran Soldier, General Staal and Skorr. Just what his shelf of…Who investments needed.
Holding his prize against his chest, he elbowed his way through the melee. Next stop, video games!

Reviews please! Sorry for the short update. I had a bad encounter with boiling water and am contending with a badly burnt left arm and hand, so my typing is quite slow. I'm still writing though!
