“You should definitely try asking him. No harm in trying, right?” Jane asked, shrugging. “Besides, he might be way too interested about the fact that you can call fire to think much about saying no.” And, okay, maybe it would suck having to use that to get an in, but it was completely true.

“I’d offer to pay you to do a website for me, but I don’t really need one,” she said, and chuckled. “S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t exactly put any of my research on the internet.” Granted, she could put her own research out there if she wanted to. “And I don’t really want it there, either. I’d rather put it in a book or something. If I write a book, I’ll let you design the website about me.” She grinned.
“You could keep a blog,” Summer suggested. “What the hell do you do, anyway? What kind of research?”

Right now I’m trying to find out if there’s any correlation between the aurora borealis we see on Earth and the use of the Bifrost in Asgard.” She shrugged. She doubted there really was one, but there was always a possibility for everything. She had to chase down every possibility, every alternative.
“That’s glorious! Can I see your lab? Do you have a lab? Do you get to use the big space telescopes?” Summer leaned forward across the table, practically bouncing out of her seat. “What have you found so far? It’s so /cool/!”
