Work Header  It's A Date  Work Text:  With hand on hip, and
still wearing the white dress that Hillary gave her, Lara Croft
confronted her early afternoon guest right in the main doorway
of Croft mansion. "Alex West. What are you doing here?"  "Hey,
Lara. I believe you owe me," he said cheekily.  Lara rolled her
eyes. "What are you talking about now?"  "Well, there's the
fifty bucks because the triangle piece was inside the sun. Also,
I didn't get paid, as my employer happened to meet his untimely
doom in the depths of a cave in Siberia..."  Annoyance made Lara
speak before thinking. "I saved your life!" she countered, and
regretted it immediately.  Alex raised an eyebrow. "When did
that happen? I don't think that staying behind in that cave,
while I went on ahead, equates to saving my life."  "Never mind.
Forget I said that."  "Did I miss something important?"
"Nothing that concerns you." She waved it aside. Fortunately for
her, Alex decided not to pursue the issue for the moment.  Lara
changed the subject.
