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.

	"I know you're sneaky enough to get around the old man's babysitters if you want to." He knew she had secrets that the old man didn't know about. They both did. Even the great Nick Fury didn't know everything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're right, I can get around him and he knows it. Then I guess the question would be, why would I want to lose them? I'm an adult. He doesn't stop me from what I'm doing. Doesn't like some things, but he doesn't stop me." That she might be following Nick Fury's master plan doesn't even occur to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It did occur to Mikel. She was the golden child and so far she is doing what the old man has planned for her. The food arrived and Mikel gave the waitress a small smile. "He doesn't stop you because so far you haven't done anything to piss him off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then I should thank you for breaking him in for me. I don't want to piss him off. He listens to me if I have something to say, and that's how we get along. I have a good relationship with my parents." Her brows drew together in irritation that Mikel seemed to be picking at how she and Dad connected. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Someone had to do it I guess," he said. He started cutting up his steak. "What about you? Seeing anyone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy started with the side salad to get it out of the way. "No, I'm not. And it's not because of Dad. Not a lot of guys want to date a girl who goes nowhere unarmed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't imply that it was because of the old man," he said before popping a piece of steak in his mouth. "I was merely asking. You were curious about my personal life, I am simply turning the tables." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a whole new generation out there, Mikel. When I take over SHIELD, I'll have a new crop of heroes to press into service, and villains to take down." The idea made her smile as she popped a fry in her mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He paused eating and looked at her. "Do what I want and pick and choose jobs. Get to see the world." He continued eating. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could be a military consultant and get the same thing out of it." She paused while cutting her steak. He was taking what he'd learned from Dad and... "Third world mercenary work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Too many rules." He shrugged. "Something like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Great. She was related to somebody who worked with terrorists. "How long are you going to be in town? Think maybe you'll stop by and see the folks?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-11 09:24 am UTC (link)
	Hey, he didn't work with terrorists. "Few days," he said with a shrug. He didn't answer the question about seeing the folks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-06-11 09:33 am UTC (link)
	He was so much like Dad. How far would brotherly concern get her if she kicked him in the shin under the table? "Got another job lined up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-06-11 09:35 am UTC (link)
	"I think so," he admitted. Which was about all that he would say about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She was just like the old man. She'd never quit until she knew what she wanted to know. He shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. If she exists." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She saw how this was going. He would ask questions but not answer them. Without input, she didn't know what to talk about to him. He was more than twice her age. It wasn't as if they could talk about the latest movies, music or fashion, or that she would want to talk about those things.

Giving in for now, she focused on the delicious food and not the mystery Big Brother represented.
