At the Slaughtered Lamb
"In ancient times when werewolves roamed the land
There was an old pub called The Slaughtered Lamb"

Sammy arrived by taxi just after 7pm. She admitted to herself she was a little nervous. Nervous was not a normal feeling for her. The first time he'd caught her by surprised and got a cranky mood in return. His file was committed to memory, but there was a gaping hole in the information. Nowhere in it did she find anything brother-like and that was who she was meeting tonight. Now she wished she'd thought to ask someone to come with her.

The Slaughtered Lamb pub was a recommendation sometime back from Misha. His love of bad horror flicks dredged up 'An American Werewolf in London', and the two main characters encounter with the locals in the Slaughter Lamb. Sammy had never had a reason to come here before. It seemed like good neutral territory.

She stepped inside the pub and was immediately enveloped in the smells of food and people, the clacking of pool balls from the billiards room, and the murmur of voice and laughter. People were having a good time.

	Mikel was already there and sitting at the bar drinking a beer. He turned and looked at the door each time it opened. When he saw Samantha walk in, he grabbed his beer and walked up to her. "Hello, Sam." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Sammy hadn't realized how tall Mikel was. Like Dad. "Hi Mikel. What do you think of the place?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Friend of mine recommended it. He likes horror flicks." She looked around for a table. "Are we waiting to be seated?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not that I'm aware of. Sit where you want," he said and then sipped his beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy selected a table toward the back and chose the seat that would put her back to the wall. She slide in and put her bag under her chair. "I was surprised to hear from you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-10 11:07 am UTC (link)
	He slid into a chair across from her. "It shouldn't be. I told you that I would call the next time I was in the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see that now." She put on a small smile. "What were you up to? Anything you can talk about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-10 11:12 am UTC (link)
	"A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Getting into trouble as always." He gave her a small smile. "Apparently not quite as interesting as what you have been doing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-10 11:17 am UTC (link)
	Of course, the gossip rag. Pink bloomed on her cheeks, barely noticeable in the dim lighting. "Don't believe everything you read. It wasn't as interesting as they made it out to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was the local custom? We were letting loose a little." He didn't have to look so amused! The waitress came back and Sammy asked for a soda. Her meager alcohol consumption had taken another nosedive after that trip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikel chuckled. "I bet the old man had a nutter about it. I would have paid to see his face when he saw that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can handle whatever you throw at me." He took the last bit of his steak and then started working on the potatoes. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Sammy dipped a fry in ketchup. "You don't suffer from a lack of confidence, do you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikel grinned. "It's genetic. You don't either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dad didn't clone us in the research department. Mom did have something to do with how I turned out." She shook her fry at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your mother is a good woman," he said and avoided any talk about his mother. "I've always liked her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The joke around SHIELD is that I'm an LMD so the SHIELD power couple could have a family without the inconvenience of pregnancy and child birth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He chuckled. "I don't think anyone would be too surprised if that were the truth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It would explain why Dad didn't tell me not to speak to you, wouldn't it?" She gave him a mischievous smile. "If I'm glorified office equipment, there's no reason to be concerned. I could be programmed to self-destruct if somebody tries to take me apart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-11 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Something like that. I know you're real because your mother would never let the old man get away with a robot kid." He ate more of his potatoes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-11 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	It was slightly puzzling that Mikel seemed to have genuine respect and liking for Mom, and none at all for Dad. "Mom doesn't let him get away with much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-11 11:57 pm UTC (link)
	Mikel nodded and finished the last of his potatoes. "That was good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-12 12:11 am UTC (link)
	Sammy pushed her plate away as well. There were fries left, but she was full. "Thanks for inviting me out. I don't actually get out much unless it's the library or the gym at SHIELD." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
