[ In his mind that's honestly just the same thing. ]

That... sounds really depressing, actually.

[theagent]

[ Too bad. ]

I make do.

[fe_male]

You make do with depressing? You do realise that's just even more depressing. Have you ever had a vacation?

[theagent]

Stark. [ Eyeroll. ] Of course I've had a vacation. [ Sometime before she joined SHIELD. The military has R&R. ]

[fe_male]

Okay, rephrase. Recently had. Have you had one in the last... eight months.

[theagent]

No. [ So what. ]

[fe_male]

That's crazy. How are you not crazy? I would have thought SHIELD - in, clearly, all their infinite wisdom and power - would not want their top agents to go around being crazy. Maybe I can put in a recommendation.

[theagent]

It's fine. I have days off. [ It's really not as big a deal as you make it out to be, Stark :| ]

[fe_male]

[ But he's so good at it. ] There's a world's worth of difference psychologically between a 'day off' and a 'vacation'.

[theagent]

And yet, I'm perfectly sane.

[fe_male]

Yeah-huh. Or a very good faker.

[theagent]

[ It doesn't make a difference so long as she's doing her job, really. ] I'd have to be really good to pass muster.

[fe_male]

[ Who's muster. ] Hence the 'very', so... Are you saying you don't want a vacation?

[theagent]

[ SHIELD psychologists, obviously. ] I'm too busy for a vacation.

[fe_male]

That's the point of a vacation. I thought I was the one who didn't understand how work worked.

[theagent]

You probably don't.

[fe_male]

Well apparently neither do you, so you can come play on my team. Speaking of that, how's that guy? Still here?

[theagent]

I have a pretty solid work ethic. [ Sneaking a look over his shoulder. ] I think he's actually waiting for me.

[fe_male]

Persistent little asswipe. Him, not you. You're just persistent. Which is a good thing. Most people know better than to wait for me to finish with things.

[theagent]

I appreciate your help. [ In getting away from the persistent little asswipe. ]

[fe_male]

I'm a superhero - helping in all the little ways here and there. No cause too small and all, you know. Speaking of that, how annoying is he?

[theagent]

Far more annoying than you are. [ With a smile. ] Believe me, that's saying something.

[fe_male]

[ He smiles back, because that's almost a compliment. ] If you want, you know, something could happen to his car the next time there's a battle in the city or something. Or his stock, something like that. Nothing big.

[theagent]

I appreciate the offer, but no. Really, no.

[fe_male]

You sure? Really, it's no trouble. Actually it's usually more trouble not to hit the cars. Or use them to hit other people.
