[monthly enough] classic word association

Word Association is a common word game involving an exchange of words that are associated together. The game is based on the noun phrase word association, meaning "stimulation of an associative pattern by a word" or "the connection and production of other words in response to a given word, done spontaneously as a game, creative technique, or in a psychiatric evaluation."

I give up! [starts to laugh]

The only word I can come up with right now is 'Potato'.

I think I skipped lunch again.

Seriously, potato? [Chuckles with her while shaking his head.]

That ain't a wise thing to do Doc.

I know, I know. It's horrible. [puts her hands up to her face to cover her mouth as she laughs]

I was working on something and I just lost track of time. What time is it, by the way?

Don't worry, you could've said something weirder.

[Reassuring her before looking at his watch to answer Helen's question.]

Yeah, we could tell and it's almost one in the morning.

[She looks at him curiously, thinking. Oh, OH. Yes, there could have been weirder replies.]

So you're telling me that I didn't just miss lunch, I missed the dinner... and Tony Stark's party as well. [Oh ouch, she'll never hear the end of it]

Lunch and dinner sure, the party's still going, well Stark's after party just for us is but you kinda can't hear it from here.

If I missed the party, I wouldn't think of crashing it now. Besides, like you said - its become a private gathering.

They do keep the lab very well sound-proofed don't they? Did you come down here to get away from the blaring AC/DC, Or has he moved on to another band yet?

A private party that's missing our female scientist, you're kinda part of the weird family now Doctor Cho.

I did come down to get away from the loud noise that Stark's calling music but also to drag you upstairs to relax a little before Steve and Thor eat all the pizza.

Wait, I got adopted and I never got the memo? [she shakes her head and begins putting her equipment away in drawers. Dr Cho gives Barton a quick side-glance.]

I don't suppose it matters if I told you that I was waiting on some test results and [and she's suddenly interrupted by the sound of her stomach rumbling. Its loud and distinctive, and she may have been ignoring it for a while now]

... And I guess it's time to go eat.

We were supposed to send you a memo? Kinda thought you'd be smart enough to figure that out on your own, doc.

[A little friendly, brotherly teasing as Clint watches her pack some things away.]

Y'know FRIDAY can tell you when you're tests are done, she's kinda all throughout the tower. [To him it was still weird that there was a different AI controlling the building he lived in apart from JARVIS.]

Come my lady, food waits for no mortal when a Norse God and a super soldier are around.

Touche. [ok, that's worth another chuckle.]

[The last drawer is shut, the counters are cleared, everything is in its place. Except her, wearing her scrubs to an after party.]

Do you think I'll have time to change my shirt, or would that be pushing my luck? Seriously, the last time I showed up wearing this, Tony wanted me to diagnose his ingrown toenail.

[A garment bag lands on the worktop directly in front of her as he turns his back on Helen so that she can change.] With regards from Pepper.

[There is a slight gasp of surprise, and a few moments of silence]

Oh Pepper. I don't know what he's paying her, but he needs to double it. FRIDAY, turn the lab cameras off please. I'll tell you when to turn them back on.

[Its a sign of how much she trusts Clint that, after seeing that he's turned; she simply changes right there without concern for him turning around.

She even got my shoe size. Seriously, how does she do it? [Said out loud more for her own sake than Barton's.] FRIDAY, you can turn the cameras back on now. Alright Clint, let's go before the tests results get back.

[Because she knows her weakness!]

[And turn he doesn't as he keeps his eyes to the floor, not wanting to even catch a glimpse of her on anything reflective.]

Personally, I think she had JARVIS body scan us the first time we ever stepped through a doorway in this place. [Said just before he turns once she declared that she was dressed, holding his elbow out for her to take.] Even if they did come back now, I'd still pull you out of here on Tony's drunken orders.

That would make sense. [And it would be just like Pepper to do that, for several reasons really.]

[She takes his arm with a smile, her heels clicking slightly on the floor.] Ah, I was right. You know Clint, when Tony's been drinking - mmm - some of his ideas. He gets some pretty outlandish ones.
