Jess straightened her skirt and checked her hair for the fifteenth millionth time and walked in to her new office. It was bare at the moment, but she would soon fix that.
Soon the office would be full of artifacts and paintings and weapons and "Squee!" Jess twirled around and fell in to her chair.
It seemed things were finally looking up.
"Ahem" a voice came from the door, Jess looked up with a smile to see the curator of the museum leaning against the door frame. "You seem like you've settled in nicely, that's why you're about to hate me."
Jess sat up with a raised eyebrow "Why's that?"
"Because we need you to go to Paris."
Jess's heart sank, not only did she just get there, but now she was being asked to go to the only place in Europe that she didn't want to go near. "Why?"
"We just got a call from a young woman who swears to god and heaven she's in possession of Excalibur, since you know the most on this subject-"
"This is true" Jess whispered
"-since you know the most, we're sending you." He dropped a file of papers on her desk "We need you to get to Paris, meet this Sarah Gonzales, see the sword, check in. We'll need you back asap, we've got a Egyptian exhibit going in soon and we'll need you. Take your time, but be prompt, you get it" he waved his hand and left the door.
Jess just stared at the file and sighed, she'd have to, there was no way in hell she was going to loose her dream job the day after getting it. "But Paris!" She stood up and went to her window "Dammit."

**NEW DAY**
Indy pushed his hands in to his pockets as he came through the entrance to the museum. They knew him well there, he'd been contributing to the museum since he could remember and didn't have to sign in when he came.
They signed the books for him these days.
He asked where Ms. Cartwright's office was and headed there quickly.
Tapping on the door, he adjusted his tie "Ms. Cartwright-?"

"Come in!" She yelled from behind a stack of papers that seemed to have grown bigger since she came back.
There was a huge exhibit on Egypt coming in and apparently, her first job in the office was to help assemble this thing.

Smiling he opened the door, only to realize he couldn't even see the woman sitting behind the desk. Not only was she behind a stack of papers, but books and odds and ends.
"You need some help there?"

Jess sighed "I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I moved all this shi-" standing up she stared Holy fucking shit.
"Mr. Jones, I didn't even realize it was you."

Indiana laughed "It's all right, here let me grab a stack."
Grabbing a stack of books he looked around for a place to set them and saw an empty bookcase "Alphabetical?"

"Er yea and... by era" she grabbed another stack of books and set them on the shelf, within a couple minutes or so they were finished and Jess was organizing the papers on her desk in to correct piles, before stopping and laughing.
"I can't believe I haven't even gave you a proper hello" she extended her hand "it's such a pleasure to meet you."

Indiana's face turned slightly serious "Well a whole lot of things, now let's not get off on the wrong foot. But they have never hired a woman, let alone a young woman with little to no credit in the historical world to their staff in the history of the museum. Not that I'm in any position to question them or you for that matter, but it just seems a little, off."

Jess smiled as he spoke, she knew that her situation would garner some attention. She of course didn't know that it was grab the attention of the one person in the entirety of the world that she'd been itching to meet.
Nodding as he finished, she proceeded to put a stack of papers in to a tray on the right side of her desk "You've obviously done a little homework, so I'm sure you know who I'm dating yes?"

"Then you know that he is the number one charitable contributor to the museum. I told him once that I'd kill to be able to work here, but it would take years to even get in for a interview. Well, Tony being Tony, was able to get me an interview the next week. They were of course skeptical like you, but after a few meetings, they realized that I was just as qualified to do what I do as anyone else."
She grabbed a large sculpture of Ra and stood up, setting it on a shelf with other statues of Egyptian gods. "If you'd like to give me a test, I'm ready and willing Mr. Jones, uh Indiana." She turned to him with a calm smile "If not, then let's get on with what else you'd like to say."
