@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald Barclay ;;

She was very nice. Lewis would never admit that his favourite person was a hologram - it seemed cliche, and he already got enough flak for refusing to spend his time with organic people in the first place. He’d just never had a lot of luck with them. 

“Yes. Well...I assume you’re interested in her?” That was a strange way to phrase that. He cleared his throat and said a little louder, “Interested in her design. You said you work with holograms.”

@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald ;; 

Haley thought he was pretty cute. She wondered if he was this nervous all the time or just around Lewis -- either way, he seemed sweet. Not at all what she was used to. 

“Yes, I’m his assistant.” She gives a sideways glance to Lewis. “And his receptionist, and his maid, and his caretaker--”

Zimmerman waves a hand in her direction. “Okay, okay, we get the point. I have lots to show Mr. Barclay, so you can take your leave. If we need you, we’ll call.” 

Haley smiled at Reg. “We can talk later.” A second later, she was gone.

@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald ;; 

Oh no. He was dissolving. This man was going to start crying right in front of him, and Lewis had no idea what to do about it. How was anyone like this supposed to be helpful to him at all? He opened his mouth to spew out a dozen more questions to test Barclay’s knowledge when he was interrupted by a quiet clearing of the throat. He peeked around Reg to see Haley standing right behind him, arms crossed over her chest. “You forgot part of the tour, Doctor Zimmerman,” she said. Her expression was soft, but her tone was familiar - one of warning. She glared daggers at him. 

Lewis rolled his eyes. “This is Haley,” he said as he waved in her direction nonchalantly. “She’s not part of the tour, actually. And she was just leaving.” 

Haley smiled up at Reg and held out her hand. “It’s nice to meet you Lieutenant.” 

@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald ;; 

The longer it took for Reg to get his words out, the more aggravated Lewis became. He remembered what Haley had said. Be nice. Or something. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Do you?” He opened them again and looked up at the man. Even though he was taller than Lewis, he seemed to be physically shrinking the longer they talked to one another. “Really. It’s not a rhetorical question. Do you know what you’re doing? What are your qualifications? Your experience? Why do you want to be here?” No one was interested in holo-technology. Not enough to stick around. What made this guy any different. So he was interested in Lewis’ work. Didn’t mean he was any good at working with holograms himself. 

@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald ;; 

“Haley is my assistant. She’s a hologram.” He gestured vaguely into the air as if she was existing all around them at all times. “She takes care of all of my meetings, gathering supplies, getting me lunch - all the things I need to function. She’s quite good at it.” He couldn’t keep the tone of affection out of his voice.

“I’ve had a lot of people assigned to me, Reginald,” he started as he marched out of the lab to the office that Reg had to walk through to enter. “Not one of them actually cared about what I’m doing here. They couldn’t even keep up with my explanations, let alone actually assist me with what I’m doing.” He stopped dead in the middle of the office. “This is where all the paperwork is. Replicator for food. A desk. Table.” He gestured around to everything as he offered a tour. It sounded like he had done it a million times and he didn’t care to make it very thorough.

Lewis pushed up from his seat, groaning slightly as his knees cracked. Even standing, he wasn’t nearly as tall as the other man. Barclay had at least a few inches on him. Lewis raised an eyebrow as he looked up at him. “Yes. I don’t like working with other people. The only other one here is Haley.” He shuffled around Reg toward the door he came in. Best place to start the tour, he guessed.

“I’ve told them a million times, I don’t want an assistant. I figured after a while people would just stop asking.” He glanced over at Reg. “Apparently, I was wrong.”

What brand of stupid are you?

You think you're safe don't you? You are probably the responsible one in the group, perhaps even the mom friend. You are relatively smart but all it takes is one little thing to suck all your brain cells out. It could be hanging around your fellow stupid friends, it could be being left alone, it could be having a bit too much fun. The stupid lives inside you and it just takes the right environment for it to show.

@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald ;; 

Zimmerman wondered if Reginald Barclay had ever saif a full sentence out loud in one go. It seemed unlikely. But it was oddly flattering that he followed Lewis’ work so closely. No one did that. No one really cared enough to. Before he could think of a way to comment on it, however, Barclay was back to the EMH design. 

“Uh...yes. Actually. I am. I’ve been having a little bit of trouble with that actually. You can’t exactly flub it on the bedside manner.” He looked at the design a little bit longer and then back at Barclay. “Well...I guess I’d better show you around.” 

@ltbroccoli​ // Reginald Barclay ;; 

“More often? God no...” His focus was still on the screen, but the idea of this person spending any more time than absolutely necessary with him was enough to pull his attention away. “No, that will be fine. You could even start later! Sleep in if you want to!” He glanced over at Barclay and guessed the man had never gotten a good night’s sleep in his life.

He was about to comment on Barclay inching closer, but his question took Lewis by surprise. He stopped, straightened up, and eyed Reg warily. “You know about my program?”
