OOC: No worries Ti. You're welcome here. :) I like what you've got going, can't wait to see where it goes. ;)

Lance woke up with his face on his workbench. Not an unfamiliar place to be for sure, but it didn't make it feel any better. After stretching and grabbing a bite to eat he checked what he had finished.

He stood in the middle of his lab space surrounded by piles of seemingly just junk. Lance smiled as he looked at each invention and gadget in turn. Each one worked in some way and had problems in others. Over the years he'd collected quite an array of stuff, but though it all he'd cataloged every error and mistake and every good and bad point. He'd never actually had a need to use them all, nor a desire, but now he had both, and was amazed at what he had.

Lance chuckled, "Those genome guys won't know what hit them."

Lance called up the city government and warned them that he was going to do some work on Zara's building. (Without telling them about her of course.) Knowing how Lance's "work" went they quickly issued evacuation notices to the area. Zara being Zara, payed no attention to them at all. This left Zara's building nice and empty when Lance drove up, followed by three trucks all carrying EVERY gizmo and odd tool from his shop. He paid the men who quickly left thanking their lucky stars the trucks they were driving didn't blow up.

Lance was still chuckling at their reaction when Zara poked her head out of her window and yelled down at him, "Hey old man I thought I told you to stay away?"

Lance shook his head, "Ah C'mon, you never thought I'd actually listen to you did you?" He chuckled and took the stairs up to her apartment secure in the knowledge that no one was dumb enough to touch his stuff. He knocked on her door which she opened readily enough. He flashed a smile that he rarely used anymore, "Honey I'm home."
