Location: Unknown
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Foxfire, Nyx, Melinda May, Hawkeye (Barton)




Foxfire has posed:
Not everything medical related happens IN medical. This is partly because not all of SHIELD's experts with the relevant expertise work in Medical and partly because some of the equipment needed for odder tests is in the R and D labs.

When Samantha is brought in she is treated to an interesting sight. Micah is for once not doing the testing. Instead he's got his shirt off and is being prodded by someone in a lab coat. Well, poked. They've got a needle in a discolored patch of skin on his back and they're with withdrawing some... fluid from it.

Another lab coat is standing near by looking at a large piece of film that's probably an X-Ray result.

"I really haven't ever seen anything like this. How can you just be //invisible// to X-Rays?"

"Less invisible and more 'too visible'-ow!" Micah says, looking over his shoulder at the one with the needle.

"Sorry, Agent Murphy. Almost done."

Nyx has posed:
Samantha and Phil (not Coulson) make there way to the R&D Labs.

Honestly it is a good way to break up an otherwise rather shut in (which is all the time) Saturday night in the Triskelion.

The two of them seem to be discussing this weeks episode of the Bachelor when they enter... though that conversation dies when there is experimenting, but on Micah going on. Phil wanders over out of the way to observe while Sam walks further in now peering at the x-rays. Perhaps making that lab coat person jump.

"Is Agent Murphy okay?" that is her number one question.

Foxfire has posed:
"Hello Miss Twinning. He's okay mostly, but he's breaking physics." The lab coated agent, a brown haired man in his 30's, waves the X-Ray in Sam's direction. It is //completely// white.

"Alright Agent Murphy, all done. You can put your shirt back on now." The other lab coat goes over to evacuate the emerald green fluid into two test tubes and places one of them in a machine that doesn't look like it's ordinarily used for medical purposes.

"Hey Sam." Micah says as he shrugs his shirt back on and starts to button it up. "It's was my turn to be a pincushion today. Do you also have an appointment with these guys?"

Nyx has posed:
"Maybe.. I mean someone asked if I could be brought around to the R&D Labs?" she looks around unsure and then looks back to the Lab Coat who talked to her. "I thought it was my job to break physics around here." joking and then smiling to Micah. "Are you muscling in on my physics breaking business?" with mock sternitude.

Then she meanders over to peer at the test tubes as they are loaded. "Also why is your blood green, are you a vulcan?"

Foxfire has posed:
"You do it much better than I do." Micah assures Samantha as he hops off the examination bench. One of the techs gestures for Sam to get up on it. "We did have a request for you. There SHOULD be a specialist coming in to speak to you but we're just going to take some basic vitals, alright Miss Twinning? And I'd I've got a mobile spectrogram as well. Would you mind helping with that Agent Murphy?"

"Oh sure." Micah says as the equipment is wheeled over.

The agent by the machine smiles back at Samantha. "He's not a vulcan no. His blood is red... unless we take it from one of those discolored spots on his back. Then it's green though in fairness I'm not ENTIRELY sure it's blood."

The machine beeps.

"Note down for our logs that Agent Murphy is still giving off small amoutns of exotic hadrons and possibly also non-baryonic matter."

"And he absorbs X-Rays." The tech near Sam says.

"Yeah on that, maybe don't irradiate me so much." Micah says.

Nyx has posed:
Sam looks to the lab coat and shrugs "Sure. I mean that is like every other day so I bet I am a pro at this point."

To be fair to SHIELD, it isn't as if all of the tests have yielded anything too useful for scientific development out of Samantha. That habit of the nanites going inert when removed is super annoying for everyone involved.

Still Sam seems game for the break from watching movies and TV shows. She hops up on a exam table, planting her butt on it as she sits. "Are exotic hadrons bad, they sound bad but then most science words actually sound pretty bad to people not reallly versed in science.. like Spectrograms."

Foxfire has posed:
"Well... they're the kind of thing that you normally need a nuclear reactor and several miles of concrete tunnel to make." Micah says as he points the spectrometer at Samantha and turns it on.

"Correct. And somehow you're just leaking them like you're some kind of badly made Wal-Mart water bottle."

"And absorbing all the X-Rays." Says the other tech who really seems annoyed by that.

"Nothing compared to having particle accellerators in your arms. Don't worry. Your status is secure Sam." Micah grins.

Nyx has posed:
Well to be fair, Forge's notes on Samantha did mention shunts to her eyes and shoulderblades actualy for the particle cannons and magnetic arrays. It is way more laws of physics breaking than on even first glance.

Not that Sam had those factors explained to her at all.

Mostly she has been avoiding the part about having an A.I. in her head and also that she is being replaced by nonorganic bits.

Her feet sway off the side of the table, not kicking because she doesn't want to damage the table, but definitely fidgeting as the spectrometer gets turned on pointed at her. "Well as long as I hold my title..."

Foxfire has posed:
Micah settles behind the spectrometer and cants his head. "Do you see that?" He says to the scientist who leans over to peer at the readout.

"Uh, yeah. That's not normal. What IS fueling her?"

Well, nothing about Sam is normal.

"What's Agent Murphy's DNA and biochemistry profile look like?" The one with the green blood calls out, still finishing up Micah's paperwork.

"Still anomalous. Still nothing we can compare it to here on earth."

Alien? That might get the... rider's attention.

Nyx has posed:
According to the file, and Forge's notes, a small stars worth of energy held together in some kind of magnetic containment where her heart should be. You know. Advanced Fusion Reactor of impossible design taking up the space of someone's fist. I mean it's that or someone bottled a small time/space anomoly.

Which means the readings are super exciting.

"His DNA and biochemistry is anomolous?" that actually has Sam looking away from the two looking at the Spectrometer to the one with the blood. "Can I see?"

Foxfire has posed:
"Sure... if you like..." It's kind of classified but Nyx is kind of classified so it all evens out right? The scientist hands over the readout. It is ALL kinds of strange. There's compounds in here they haven't even identified yet.

"Mind you it's only anomalous near those sites. Take a sample from say his arm and he's perfectly human."

So yes. Only small parts of him are odd. But... still.

"Samantha... you're not... like, feeling warm or anything like that are you?"

Nyx has posed:
Samantha accepts the readout on Micah and then squints at it, turning it over in her hands until it is upside down for a long moment, then a couple more turns until she has it rightside up. "Okay yeah I have no idea what the hell all this means to be honest."

"Nyx though says it's Deamonite." offering the paper back to the R&D Lab coat. Then she turns buzzled to Micah and the other labcoat. "Not really.. I mean they keep the R&D labs a bit chilly .. it's what 67 degrees in here?" Sam shrugs.

Foxfire has posed:
"Do you know what that spectrum looks like?" The lab coat says to Micah.

"Kind of looks like a G-Type star." Micah replies. That's not possible though. If it really were outputting that kind of energy Sam's biological parts would have cooked within minutes of her getting it. Unless those are being protected or... the process isn't fusion but something else. Then again he's not one to talk. There isn't any way he should be 'leaking' hadrons either.

"What exactly is a damonite?" The lab coat with the blood turns around to look at Sam, not sure whether that was some attempt at humor.

Nyx has posed:
Samantha rubs the back of her neck as she looks between the three scientists and agents in the room. Well four but poor Phil doesn't count so he doesn't get looked at, just faded to the background worrying about Hadrons now."Type G-Star what?"

Then the specific question "Deamonites... um..." she tilts her head like se is listening to something then blinks "No fucking way.. oh.. okay.. uh.. hm..." and looks back at Micah. "So uh.. Nyx says Daemonites are a fairly warlike shapeshifting alien species from outside the Milkway Galaxy. They use to have a pretty decent empire but were devasted by some 5-Space Gravity Miners." there is a pause and then a helpless shrug from the young woman.

Foxfire has posed:
The R and D labs are often busy reseaching things. It's not unheard of for them also to be reseraching //people// though it is understandably more rare. Today that is absolutely the case, though. One of the lab spaces is presently occupied by a team of three researchers, one of whom is running what looks like a biosample through a device designed to detect exotic radiation, while the other two plus Agent Murphy are pointing various detection devices at Samantha Twinning who has, from the looks of everyone present just said something kind of disturbing.

"Um. Extra-Galactic Aliens? And their DNA ended up in Agent Murphy HOW. Miss Twinning are you sure?"

"Not their DNA, Doctor Sykes. Well sort of. The DNA profile sort of IS Agent Murphy. It's just... not human."

"Okay that does my head in..." Micah mutters as he opens a print out. "Not that I don't believe you Sam but how does Nyx know all this?"

No, he hadn't gotten to THAT part of the Forge report.

Nyx has posed:
Sam is just sitting on an exam table wearing her usual SHIELD issued fatigues, at this point even her name Twining is on it. No rank or anything like that, not that SHIELD is really into lots of bars and stars. Her ID Badge does say Guest very clear in big letters and color code though.

Over yonder by the door is Agent Phil (not Couslen) - Samantha's usual escort and babysitter. He is relaxed until someone important comes in, then he looks much more at attention.

Sam seems pretty at ease having more scanning devices and what not pointed at her, it really had been her life for weeks on end now. "Dude.. I am not sure of anything. I wouldn't know a Deamonite from a Turtle. That said the voice in my head said it so I guess it is sure?" a shrug.

"I guess Nyx has that information Micah.. I dunno. Maybe ran into them or has .. like files on them or something?" at that question Sam sounds exhasperated, she is still coming to terms with all this and well she just said she doesn't have a clue herself.

Melinda May has posed:
So, while it's a tribute to Soviet engineering that the arm has survived decades of hard, hard use....the truth is, Buck's arm needs maintenance. But this is about as fun as a visit to the dentist after years of neglect, and nothing about the prosthesis's design was for Barnes's comfort.

So he has a decidedly hangdog look as he's more or less herded into the R&D area, Clint and May behind him - perhaps functioning as a human wall to keep him from turning and fleeing....and then hiding until the arm rusts solid. This particular Tin Man doesn't have a Dorothy following along with an oil can, after all.


Sure enough, following after Barnes is one Melinda May. While she could very easily be seen as marching the man to his doom, her usual Vulcan-esque expression doesn't really evoke a sense of ... anything. Well, unless one knows her well enough, then the micro-expressions she usually only works to hide when necessary are clear: she's not thrilled with it, but she'll be the heavy to make sure Barnes doesn't neglect himself and end up even worse off.

Glancing at Barton, she stops just inside the doorway, on the side opposite Nyx's pet Agent Phil.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint is very much a wall against escape as well as Bucky's emotional support animal.

"Don't worry man, Fitz hasn't broken any thing major in like, what?" he looks to May. "Three days?"

Hey, he never claimed to be a /good/ emotional support animal.

"But seriously, they'll get you fixed up, probab;y ad some upgrades or something too. Speaking of which, I hope they've got my new freeze arrows ready."

Walking in on the agency's other cyborgs, he waves, "Hey guys."

Foxfire has posed:
"Let me see if I can just get this cathode ray calibrated and we can do some light irradiation to see what scatters back. Don't worry Sam, you shouldn't feel a th-ING!" The opening of the door has Micah swinging the the cathode ray device sharply upward to avoid irradiating any of the senior agents - or Bucky - currently entering the room. Sure it's harmless like he told Sam but he suspects they're going to be less sanguine about the whole proposition. He would be.

Well, he'd probably just absorb them like he does exrays but that's neither here nor there. "Uh, Director. Agent Barton... and Agent... um..." Is Bucky an Agent? Micah has no idea. Sweet arm he's got there though.

"Acting Director May. Agent Barton. Agent Barnes." Doctor Sykes says with a smile. "How unexpected. What can we do for you today? Are you here to see Miss Twinning by chance? I DID want to speak to you about her status here, so I'm glad you came all the same."

Nyx has posed:
"Sure thing Micah." as another device is pointed at her, her foot twitching as she sits there on the examine table foot twitching. "As long as it isn't some alien death ray." yeah she is teasing him after the deamonite business just moments ago.

Then things get more exciting and yup Samantha looks teenage levels of nonplussed by the whole Deputy Director, Agent, Agent trance. Though the cool metal arm does get some looking over. "Is it me or does his arm need some WD40." squinting a bit, yeah her eyesight is that good.

Barton's comment does get her attention as she looks over to him and ohss right.. "Hey Hawkeye. Agent Ward wanted me to pass along something about arrows.. what was it... oh right that bullet travels much faster and is much harder to remove. He told me to tell you he said that."

Melinda May has posed:
Buck's expression lapses into that pokerface that's his cover for everything from restraining laughter to denying the fact that he has a serious wound. Clint gets an annoyed look. "Fitz couldn't break this if he tried." ....that sounds like a dare, doesn't it? "I just want it to work," he adds. "I'm too old to get something new." Like he's a guy who's been driving the same beatup Honda for twenty years.

He fixes Murphy with that cold stare. Don't get any ideas.


May nods a hello to Micah and Samantha, then focuses on Dr. Sykes. "We'll discuss Miss Twinning's status in a less public forum." She also wants to give the kid the good news -- that her recruitment is official and she's been assigned to start Monday, training under Skye directly for multiple reasons first and foremost being to help her learn how to better control her abilities.

Her eyes move back to Barnes as he comments, and it's a good thing she has so much practice at refraining from rolling her eyes. Knowing Fitz and the rest of R&D, they could very likely make a replacement arm that would feel identical to the current one for Barnes. But, it's his arm and his decision. She won't approve someone mucking around against the former Sargeant's will.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
"Sure thing Grandpa," Clint says with a grin to Bucky. "I am sure Fitz will have your arm back working how you like in time to chase those damn kids off your lawn."

With the room crowded like it is, Clint takes a place by the wall, leaning against it arms crossed. Sam's comment gets a "Ha," of laughter. "Well tell Robo Agent we replaced him with an LMD years ago and even he didn't notice."

There's a glance towards May when she mentions she has stuff to tell Sam away from prying ears, it reminds him of something and his attention turns to Micah. "Got news for you too later as well, Murph." a beat. "Don't worry it's all bad," he says with a solemn nod.

Foxfire has posed:
"As long as the news isn't 'Gerard got off on a technicality and is somewhere at large in New York, I'll wait for it with bated breath." Micah says cheerily to Clint. It MIGHT actually all be bad and then he probably won't be so cheery. Though he wonders what bad might be.

'The date went horribly and May blames you for helping pick out that suit' would certainly be up there on the list of bad.

"Uh, we don't have mechanical specialist in right- wait. Agent Murphy aren't you..." Sykes looks at Micah who looks back at Sykes and then picks up on that cold stare.

Like, Siberia cold.

"Mmmm? Oh yeah, sure. Good with machines. Why don't you bring it over here, Agent Barnes. Is there anything in particular you want me to look at? I promise I won't try to 'make it better'. Believe me I've learned my lesson on that one."

That lesson is partly in the radiation detector right now which beeps. The tech at it leans over and makes a sour face. "I can't figure out if it's picking up exotic radiation from Miss Twinning or exotic radiation from Agent Murphy."

Micah snorts as he clears a space, gets a precision toolkit and motions to Barnes. Well, Clint, May and Barnes. Sam might want to watch too, this has to be more interesting than being bombarded with a cathode ray gun.

"So what DID bring you all down today? Just the arm? I've got to say I haven't seen cybernetics like that before. It, uh, it is cybernetic right? And not some kind of newfangled exo-sleeve?"

Nyx has posed:
Samantha says chipperly to Micah "Maybe it's about your leaking Hadrons." referencing what Agent Barton wants to talk to Micah about. Probably not but it is her attempt at humor. Man she needs to get outside at some point the science geek lingo is her attempt at humor at this point.

Her head turns to Clint though and she mmms "I feel that is funny.. but I have no idea what an LMD is. I'll totally relay that back to him. He was kinda mean to be honest to poor Phil." and well Agent Phil (not couslon) looks stoic and nonconfirming about it. He isn't about to say the senior agent was mean to him of all things.

Really she is avoiding the fidgeting nerves of what May said, discussing her status in private. She can't avoid it though and looks to Deputy Director May "Is this with Doctor Sykes and me or just with the Doctor?" unsure. I mean, she definitely wants to know.

Melinda May has posed:
"It's Soviet engineering, based on German prototypes." Buck does not deign to explain how they got the prototypes. Even modern kids know about that war. A last glance back at May and Clint, like a dog who's just seen his leash handed off to a vet he doesn't trust....but he does approach Micah.

Even as he does so, he's taking off the henley shirt he has on, and the t-shirt beneath it, so the scientists get a view not only of the arm, but the actual graft site - scarring along the smooth metal contours that make it very clear the support structure for the arm has been woven thoroughly into muscle and bone. No shyness at all - how many of these exams has he been through, and at what far less tender hands.


May looks over at Cilnt again, her eyebrows drawing together every so slightly for a second, and then she's turning back to Samantha and Dr. Sykes, figuring Barnes is doing a good enough job intimidating Murphy without any help from her.

"Miss Twinning, both you and Dr. Sykes, please, or just you." Because unlike Clint, she won't lie or exaggerate about the news she has to share since it's not at all bad.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
That look from Bucky breaks him. "Don't worry, Micah knows his stuff, you're in good hands," he tells the man putting aside his usual snarky facade for the moment. "You should see the kick ass armour he built."

A look's given to May as if to say, 'see I was nice to them'. "And Gerard? Oh the ULTIMATUM guy, right? And they say we were trying too hard with our initials," he says. "Nah, it's much, much worse," he says, okay he was nice for like a minute. Though by his light tone, he's just messing with the probie. "Anyhow, Iit's not really that bad, and I'll stop bugging you while you're working on that arm. Might need both of you for an op soon. Just as soon as we track someone down."

As to Sam. he offers a smile, "Probably good that you don't, those things are nothing but trouble," he says of LMDs.

Foxfire has posed:
Micah flashes Clint a grin. He is rather proud of that armor. Sure, it's not in the same class as stuff a guy like Tony Stark might build but it's his and it does what it does quite well.

Well okay, it's mostly his. The power source he just found.

"Both of us eh?" He assumes that him and Bucky and not him and Sam. Samantha's powers are impressive but she needs some time with whomever is getting assigned to be her Yoda, and he knows that. There are things they just don't teach you until you're getting hands on time.

Right. Focus. The integration - and the scarring - get an impressed whistle. "Ruskis know their stuff..." He says in a low tone. "Let me know if any of this hurts..."

It takes him a minute or so to figure out where the systems are. Fortunately, no matter how ideosyncratic the design, an arm is an arm and robotics are robotics and there are only so many ways to build both.

"Sounds like you're going to need some bearing replacements in the next three months or so Agent Barnes. But the electrical systems on this thing are out of this world. How long have you had this? Oops, sorry, that might be personal. You can tell it's Geraman design though. Really hardy, exactly the way they design everything. Redudant to a fault. This thing could probably get turned into swiss cheese and it's still work pretty well."

He is really TRYING to be gentle and still pay attention to what Clint is saying AND to what's going on with Sam. Hey, he thinks the girl deserves a shot to make something of herself.

"An op sounds good though, Agent Barton." He'd said call him Clint but that had been in a non work setting and he doesn't want to assume. "I haven't had a chance to break out the VLP-1N in a little bit except for testing."

Nyx has posed:
It is likely a very safe assumption that Hawkeye means Bucky and Micah not Sam. Sam needs a whole lot more time at the range before she is let out into the wild shooting at things. The collateral damage is just too risky until she gets it down. It would be like dropping Tony in the MK1, first day, into the city.

I mean unless the mission is destroy everything in a radius free for all in desert.

Samantha keeps sitting where the spectrograph is pointed at her, no one told her to move, but she is watching Micah examine the arm very close. Except when she looks over to May and nods. "I'm not going anywhere, so um.. anytime you want to talk I am totally free to talk Deputy Director May." she seems enthusiastic about that, too new to be intimidated or maybe to niave and without any sort of world experience beyond High School.

Melinda May has posed:
The arm's built to be maintained....and thus, when Micah loosens the crucial screws, it obediently folds up its plates, like nothing so much as the ruffled feathers of a bird. All the better to expose the inner workings....and it is a fabulous piece of work, even if it's done in the Soviet brute force style. There're ribbons of woven alloy to serve as muscles and tendons, wiring as nerves....and a softly gleaming rod assembly in lieu of bone.

His expression's tolerant, a little dry, as he answers, "Since late 1945. And yeah. Thank God it's the Russian version of German engineering, or the first piece of grit I encountered'd've me locked up like a rusted-out gate. It's held up to damn near everything."

His mouth is open, lips parted, ready to make some further comment...which is when Micah makes a crucial mistake. Two of the 'nerves' are crossed, and there's first a *snap* like a twig breaking, a spark, and the acrid scent of wire burning. It's followed by a full-on reaction, with arcs of blue-white electricity laddering their way up the arm. They subside when they get to the point where it reaches the graft into human muscle - but the jolt's enough to have Bucky suddenly flop over like a broken doll.

Out like a light.


May can tell that Samantha is excited about the news, and she doesn't plan to keep her waiting too much longer. She's mentally making a note to have Barnes back to get those bearings replaced within three months, even though she know it'll take as much convincing and cajoling as today did if not more. She's even about to speak up about it when there's the snap of an electrical short and Barnes flops over like someone hit an OFF switch.

Thinking multiple curses, she immediately rushes toward the super soldier while gesturing everyone else back. If he responds reflexively, she's not letting him hit ANYONE who could get seriously injured. A quick check for breathing and a pulse, and May would breathe a sigh of relief if there were something she did. Instead, she levels a look at Micah. "Correct your error and finish the maintenance." It goes unsaid that she fully expects there to be no more mishaps.

She stays closer to Barnes from here on out, though, and it's a toss up if she's doing so to reassure the man or to try to restrain him if he wakes while Micah is still working.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Yeah, Clint definitely means Micah and Bucky, no offense to Sam though, but the hop was going to be dangerous enough without a wild card on the team... or well more than just him.

"I'll give you guys the details later, but wanted make sure you knew it was on the radar," a beat and a look to Bucky because he can't resist it. "You guys had radar right?" he knows they did but it's just fun to needle.

Though the needling stops when Bucky goes out like a light. "Whoa, crap, I was just joking about the breaking things stuff," he says coming to Bucky's side but leaves it when May has that part of things under control. He ducks his head through the door to one of the other lab rooms, calling to the techs, "Hey, we've got a man down here, you and you," he points to two of the techs. "Get that really big chair from the lounge and drag it in here, and you," he points to a tech and throws him his ID card. "Got to suite A7 and get the dog there and bring her here, he'll need him when he wakes up." Clint's level 7 access card should open just about every door in the Trisk.

That done, he pops back into the room. "He going to be okay?" he asks.

Foxfire has posed:
Gulp. Micah just nods to May. This is the thing about working with tech you don't know. He really IS good with machines but he hadn't expected that. Using a pair of forceps he pokes at the wire and... "What did they power this thing with?" He mutters...

"Well, okay, gonna want to look at the electrics too but I don't think I want to do that right now." The maintenace is really just making sure things are tighened and nothing's going to break in the next couple of weeks. Which it won't but he WAS serious about those bearings needing replacement.

And apparently, some of the wiring as well. He'll... do some reading and make sure he's ready for that. Unless someone gets Fitz to do it which... they might.

"Alright he's all set. Uh, yeah Agent Barton he's going to be okay but I'm going to call down to medical all the same so they can make double sure." No reason for this to be made worse because he's not aware of some quirk of that particular shock...

They can take a look at him while he's reclining in that big comfy chair.

"See this is why you don't have me poking directly at your companion." Micah gives Sam a wan smile. Oh yeah, he's in a bit of hot water right now. Not too hot he hopes but he'll find out.

Nyx has posed:
Samantha stiffens visibly when Bucky gets electrocuted and flops like a fish out cold. "Holy shit!" she explains eyes very wide now as she watches everyone just... uh deal with that. "Jesus Micah.." she mutters and then goes very quiet while he continues to work. Not wanting to be the reason he makes another mistake.

"Uh yeah Micah... Nyx says don't worry.. it has everything under control." that may or may not be Samantha with some humor or maybe it is Nyx.

"Do we want to leave him there for them to come here.. or do you need help carrying him down to medical?" and yes Samantha seems to be offering, mostly because she could easily do it, metal arm and all.

Melinda May has posed:
May nods to Clint, clearly approving of his quick thinking. And May is thinking of letting Barnes chose how to 'thank' Murphy for this little mishap. Though her thoughts on the matter are derailed by Samantha mentioning Nyx. She looks over at the young woman, especially as she offers to carry Barnes to Medical. While the mental image that evokes is highly amusing (tiny kid lugging unconscious cyborg super-soldier), she suspects relocating Barnes would not be in everyone's best interest.

"Perhaps just help us get him into the chair when it arrives." And then she can razz on the man about that much.

Hopefully Murphy and the other lab rats won't fuss about doghair in their equipment. German Shephers are notorious shedders, right?

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
They don't have to wait long before the chair is hauled in between two techs, they gulp when they see who's gone down.

"Set it there," Clint says pointing to one corner.

Having caught what May said to Nyx he nods, "Go ahead and lift him in, the dog'll be here soon."

True to his word, a tech arrives with Lilli, Clint takes the leash and holds it while they get Bucky settled. He shoots a look to Micah. "Don't worry about what happened right now, he'll be okay."

Though to ensure that he gets one of the techs to check when the team from medical will be arriving.

Foxfire has posed:
"Um, Agent Barton, Acting Director..." One of the techs clears his throat to say something about the dog and specifically the dog hair but Micah shoots him a look and makes a 'cut it' gesture across his throat. Do. Not. Say. A. Word.

"... the chair goes really well with the decor..." The tech finishes, looking at Micah who rolls his eyes. He's not in charge here but he has enough sense to not make a bad thing worse at least.

"Thanks..." Micah will... take a look at what he can later to make sure that doesn't happen again. Well, if that is he's called upon to look at Bucky's arm again.

Medical will be along by to check on him but if he is just sleeping it will indeed be best to leave him where he is. At least here in the lab no one is likely to draw on his face with a marker and Micah could not gaurentee that elsewhere in the Tri...

Watching Sam lift Bucky is... okay that's funny. Before he gets a chance to comment the intercom beeps near one of the techs.

"Agent Murphy, Medical wants to talk to you about your X-Rays again..."

"Oy... for the last time you're not going to get any results... I'll be right there."

The Agent in training gives those present an apologetic nod and goes to explain to medical again that, no, he doesn't show up on X-Rays and yes that is normal.

For him.

Nyx has posed:
Samantha slides off the exam table and hurries over to Bucky and the others once the big comfy looking chair is brought in. She is not tall so yeah she slides off the table and when she reaches bucky well. He easily has 8 inches on her and to a careful eye probably 150lbs on her.

She slides her arms around him carefully and just sort of lifts him as if he was weightless, shifting her footing and settling him into the more comfy chair now effortlessly. It is pretty darn amusing and the footage of it will make for fun to show Bucky later probably.

Then Sam is crouching down to smile to the German Shepherd "Who is a gorgous puppster... you is." okay the teenage girl likes dogs, who woulda thunk. The dog though looks confused, though not scared about Samantha. She smells a little weird. He isn't scared of her though.

Melinda May has posed:
Micah was very right to make that tech change tack on his comment, if May's glance in that direction was any indicator. She lets it go. This time.

Samantha moving Barnes over to the -- let's face it, it's a recliner -- comfy chair is indeed comedy gold, not that May would ever let on that she's amused by anything. Of course, watching the young woman baby-talk at a trained therapy dog is also highly amusing. Again, she's not letting on.

Micah getting called away about his X-rays, that might be something she has to deal with. No rest and all that jazz.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint blinks when Sam lifts Bucky so easily. I mean it's one thing to read it on a report another to see it. Sure he'd seen it with the Avengers enough but it's a gag that doesn't get old.

"Wow, nice work," he offers with a grin, before giving Micah a parting nod as he goes to deal with his X-rays. "Find me later," he says to the agent.

When Sam kneels down to talk to Lilli, the dog whuffs softly and nuzzles her hand. Though her attention shifts to Bucky soon after. "Want to lead her over?" Clint asks Sam holding out the leash.

Nyx has posed:
Sam will look up and grin, reaching to accept the leash. "Good puppster." she notes after being snuffled and nuzzled. She slips up to her feet and leads the therapy dog over the sleeping Barnes. "You take care of him. He has had a shocking evening." yeah Sam went there.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Taken to Bucky, Lilli crawls up onto him, settling down across his lap, ready to give a gentle 'whuf' to anyone who comes close.
