Bruce sat at his desk, typing equations into his computer. Tonight was his date with Amora, and he couldn’t concentrate. His palms were sweating to the point where the touch screen wasn’t registering his fingers anymore, which caused him to purse his lips and furrow his brow every few seconds in frustration.
He jumped back slightly as Amora appeared suddenly on his desk. He wasn’t expecting her so soon, let alone literally dangling in front of him. She looked lovely, and he let out a small, inaudible, “wow.”
Bruce looked down at his shabby, tweed suit. He was as ready as he would ever be. He took off his glasses and set them down on the desk. “Sure, let’s get going.” He took her hand to help her down. He noticed she was looking at some of his papers.
“It’s nothing—” he said with a weak smile. “Just some boring algorithms on the basis of quantum particle theory.” He remembered how science repelled pretty girls in high school.
Amora watched him stop his train of thought with a small smile dancing in her eyes. He was nervous, that much was certain and she had little to no idea what he was talking about but it couldn’t hurt to let him ramble on about it. Anything to make him comfortable.
“Tell me about it?” she linked her arm with his and gestured for him to lead the way out of the office area. She could have easily taken them where ever it was they were going but, from what she had seen, Midgardian men liked to be given the role of leaders. She would allow him his preferred station of being in charge for now.
Bruce was surprised when she asked about his work, but delighted. "Well, the algorithms depict a change in the rate of expulsion of energy around the..." His eyes lit up as he led her down the hall and to the elevator, rambling on about quantum mechanics and wormholes.
His words seemed to spill out of him, he was talking so quickly. But he seemed more at ease, talking about something he was comfortable with. They rounded a corner. The hibachi restaurant was just down the street. "And that's why the particle acceleration theory is so important. With it, we can harness energy from the black holes formed." He smiled at her as they walked out into the night air. "It would be a clean source of energy. Although," he smirked, "there are people claiming that it's too dangerous of an experiment..."
