You Said She Said What?

“She is so…” Bobby sighs, watching Alex walk out the door. Now, if Fawkes was here they could have a proper conversation; but Claire wasn’t the type to-

“Delicious?” The woman next to him helpfully supplies, mind still focused on the slide under the microscope.

“That’s actually pretty accurate there Keep- Keep! You just-! you think -! you haven’t-! Are you? Have you? You two- Please tell me you have.“

“Bobby will you please be quiet? I’m trying to think here.”

“But do you really like-“

“Yes… That’s it…” The woman breathes.

“I’ll catch you later there, keep. Man, Fawkes'll love this one.”

“I thought so.” She smirks, looking over at where Robert Hobbes had been sitting moments before. “Bobby, what were you- Oh, he left.”

~~

“Claire actually told you that!” Darien stared at the shorter man disbelievingly, though he was smiling at the image his mind helpfully supplied. “I don’t believe it.”

“Would Bobby Hobbes lie? Bobby Hobbes knows what he heard my man, and you better believe it.”

“But the keep liking Monroe? This must be one of your little delusions. Have you been taking your pills?”

“Yes I have and I am not imagining this partner. Our innocent little keep called Monroe a babe and admitted to liking her. Bobby Hobbes knows what he hears my man, I can heard a pin drop from a mile away.”

“So she really-“

“Yes.”

“Admitted it.”

“Yup.”

“Oh man!” They chorused, clasping hands.

~~

They were at her door again whispering like a couple of stooges outside the girl’s locker room. She was partially tempted to open the door and shove them both down the staircase, but then the fat man would try and pin her with fines. So instead, she put on a pair of headphones and flipped on the receptor in her laptop that was connected to the microphone outside her office.

“You go in.”

“No you go in.”

“You’re the one who started this.”

“But you’re the sneaky thief.”

“Is Bobby scared of the beautiful dragon lady?”

“Bobby Hobbes is never scared. Foxy on the other hand, runs to the Keep every time someone says boo.”

“Because when people say boo I usually have to quicksilver and save your ass.”

“Ridiculous, I’m the one who pulls you out of all the tight spots partner.”

“Now that’s ridiculous. Besides Claire told you about this.”

“But she likes you better-“

“Or maybe she just likes the Keep.”

“There is that.”

“...Nah.”

With a predatory smile, she sent Claire a message. Dragon lady had a nice ring to it actually.

~~

“I can’t believe you two!” Claire’s accent was thick as she collected the two agents like a couple of misbehaving children. “Spying on Alex like that! You should be ashamed of yourselves!”

“Keep, how’d you?” Hobbes jumped to his feet, backing away from the irate woman’s finger as she tried to poke him with it. Darien held his arms up in surrender, staying a foot or two behind Hobbes just in case he needed a shield.

“For a couple of spies, you two suck at sneaking.” Alex opened the door, freezing the three of them in their tracks. “I saw the light shinning off that one’s head.” She added cheekily.

As expected, Hobbes patted his head before he caught himself and opened his mouth. However, Claire’s finger wasn’t that far from his eyes and Darien’s invisible hand was covering his mouth.

“I’m so sorry Alex.” The scientist tugged Hobbes forward, and grabbed the other man’s sleeve. “Stop wiggling.” She ordered and was obeyed. “I don’t know what they were doing that for. We’re all friends here.”

“It’s fine sweetie. You’re not their mother.” Alex’s smile widened. “What exactly did you say to Hobbes earlier?”

“I told him to wait a few minutes until I finished something but that wouldn’t warrant this.”

“No it would not. Did you say anything else? Any stray thoughts you might have said aloud?”

The keeper shook her head, thinking quickly. Her hold on the two men did not loosen though. “Well… he was searching for a word to describe you and I said- oh.”

“That I’m delicious?” The top spy in the agency watched the other woman blush an alarming shade of red with a smile.

“Oh shit.” They chorused, looking at each other.

“Bobby!” Claire wailed, letting go and taking a couple steps away from them. “I can’t believe you! Men!”

“Indeed.” The brunette pulled her into a hug. “Have no subtlety at all.” Giving the two flushed men a wink, she waited until Claire opened her mouth slightly and kissed her deeply. She heard Hobbes’ splutter and Darien’s mindless ‘uh…’. and felt the sweet warmth of triumph spread through her. She pulled away and was going to go back into her office when Claire pulled her back into a kiss, intelligent blue eyes telling her that she did not appreciate being used like this thank-you-very-much. Once she was free again, Alex mouthed ‘sorry’.

“That was for the computer.” Claire quipped, giving the other woman a slight nod before gliding away, her lab coat flaring behind her as she walked.

‘Nice show, my cute scientist.’ Alex gave a mental salute and went back into her office. She wouldn’t be able to top that exit.
