[ Jesse nods, accepting the can with an outstretched hand. He taps on the top of it a few times out of habit before cracking the can open with that satisfying pop and fizz sound, taking a sip before he sets it down out of the way on the desk, making sure it's not somewhere where it can get knocked over easily. The last thing he needs is to spill a soda on some equipment he can't afford to replace. ]
Doesn't it? Looks bomb, too.
[ Jesse follows suit and grabs a slice, too, before he closes the pizza box to give them a little more room to work with. He's too hungry to bother with any seasoning, just taking a bite, his cheek full as he chews and listens to Darcy talk. ]
Mm--
[ He swallows before talking, for once. ]
It's tight. I mean, seems pretty high-tech. I don't know what have of this stuff does, but it looks...expensive. Seems like a pretty sweet job to me. Getting to play with gadgets all day? That's awesome. So what kinds of stuff does all this do? Like, what are you researching mainly?
[ Jesse knows it's space related. Right? Or at least that's what he assumes. Most of the high-tech gadgetry stuff has to do with space. But he wants to know more. Particularly, he wants to know what she has to show him that's so top-secret. ]
[ There's silence at first as they both settle in and eat. Darcy is starved, so it's taking all of her willpower not to vacuum up her pizza slice along with two others. She takes her time with chewing to slow herself down, but once she's a few bites in, she feels slightly more human. She sets her pizza slice down to move her hands animatedly as she explains what she does. ]
I'm taking the Foster Theory and the very foundation of the Asgardian Bifrost to create a more convenient version from our side. Basically, a way to travel from our world to another. Another planet, another realm, that kind of thing.
[ She wipes her hands, so she can pull up a visual for him. Her lab is funded by a subsidiary of Stark Enterprises, so a lot of the tech she works with is the same. She pulled up a holo-image of the Bifrost, showing how it connects Midgard to Asgard. She manipulated the image with her fingers to show him the theory of her portals. ]
[ Jesse keeps on munching his way through his slice of pizza, but his eyes focus on Darcy while she explains everything. It's a lot to wrap his head around, but he thinks he gets it once she puts in it layman's terms instead of using all those words that fly right over his head. He reaches for a napkin, wiping his mouth. His cheek is still chipmunk full when he answers. Manners escape him a little, apparently. ]
So like...teleportation, basically? Sounds like you'll need a pretty hefty power source. Where d'you think you'll find somethin' like that? Or is it somethin' you have to, like, construct yourself?
[ Jesse's pretty blown away by the holographic images and all the advanced technology she seems to have just laying around in the lab, but he's trying not to openly gawk too much. Gotta keep your cool in front of the ladies or whatever. ]
Basically. But more like, opening a portal and stepping through it? I'm-- well, I'm not going to say ripping because that sounds worse than it is, but I'm opening a hole in the very fabric of time and space for people too move through.
[ She still needs to research the long-term effects of doing such a thing. It's all so delicate, so she knows that doing it too much could harm things. She just wants to make sure it's possible first. She takes another bite of pizza and washes it down with her drink. Once she swallows, she gives him a wide grin as if she's very pleased that he's asked. She scoots her chair over to one one of the lab tables and pulls out a sparkling meteorite that's encased in a protective tube. Or at least that's what it looks like. She brings it over for Jesse to see. ]
This beauty right here. It looks like a piece of space rock, but it's a special piece of space rock from the Kree. Something Captain Marvel left behind on one of her visits here.

I just need a strong enough power source.
