It wasn’t every day a technical agent like her had to go on a mission like this. Then again, waiting around on the floor had been tremendously boring. She’d finished calculated the details of the lightning to make sure none of the “lights” were hidden cameras and had been forced to actually mingle. Small talk was not the friend of a scientist, and she’d heard it all before. Weather. Sports. Pick up lines scrapped off cheaply coded websites with Comic Sans font everywhere.

She found the field agents to be strange enough when their cover wasn’t so… so… American. So incredibly American that she hardly even believed it was American. So American that it became a parody of itself.

He replied by wiggling his eyebrows at her, and unlike so many other situations where flirting had been the best option to contact another agent, for some reason she couldn’t tell if this car was being serious.
