Show and Tell - Calling Special Ops
Sammy finished up the details for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s newest special ops team and called the first meeting aboard the helicarrier. This time Dad's office wasn't available or requested so there was no mistaking which Fury was in charge. Col. Fury would hear about the meeting soon enough. He might even show up to give his view on why he created the team.

For this meeting, all she wanted was to get the quarters assigned, equipment procured, questions answered and let everyone meet each other and find out why each of them were chosen for this team. Forget that she was a little anxious about it. Being a Fury in S.H.I.E.L.D. meant people watched to see you fail to live up to the Colonel's example. She had to be better just to be considered satisfactory, and temper it with patience and humor so she didn't drive everyone around her insane.

If this worked, she would definitely owe Uncle Steve a thank you for showing her how a powered team could be led without climbing a bell tower.

Sammy moved to Johnny and touched his shoulder. Her voice had an echo quality in the timeout. Johnny would see the others frozen in their moment while he and Sammy still had movement. "I wasn't chosen for this team because my last name is Fury. I can stop time for ninety seconds at a time. I can also shoot a grape off your head at fifty yards, but that's a demonstration for another place."

	"Hot dang," Johnny said, after a moment, a small grin on his face. "Color me impressed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks." She let it go and glanced around the table. Her smile grew a bit when she met Qamar's eyes. "A lot of things we do will be better shown in combat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But it never hurts to have some idea what we should expect in combat. I've read the personnel profiles and Avengers logs, and have some familiarity with Del, so I think I'm pretty well caught up on the abilities of most people here, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_idol 2010-03-31 02:01 pm UTC (link)
	Johnny eyed Qamar. "I know everybody here, by reputation at least, but him. What's he bringing to this shindig?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Qamar stands up. "You might know me by my superheroic identity," he replies. "Please remember that it's top secret -- only a small handful of people know what I'm about to tell you, so please keep this in the highest security." He breathes out. "I... am the Avenger known as Nightingale." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alice blinked. That was...an surprising confession. "Right. Your secret is safe with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Del nodded. "I won't tell a soul." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Johnny, however, was a bit less understanding. "You're a tranny?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2010-03-31 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Aleks eyes John. "I'd guess that he wants to keep his identity very, very secret for some reason. Regardless of what that is, that's a useful power set." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2010-04-01 12:47 am UTC (link)
	"A... what?" Qamar asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_idol 2010-04-01 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"A tranny," he repeated. "A transvestite. Somebody who likes dressin' in women's clothes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-04-01 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Sammy gave Johnny a look herself. "The colonel chose Nightingale specifically for this team because of his power set. How Qamar chooses to secure his identity is his business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2010-04-01 04:37 am UTC (link)
	"I do it to keep my identity," Qamar replies. "If I do something because it keeps me from being shot... does that mean I like it?" He shrugs. "If so, then I suppose I am." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A guy who couldn't figure out what kind of underpants to put on, and the green-hair was probably a Commie. What the hell was SHIELD coming to today? That this team had been hand-picked by Col. Fury himself was the only thing keeping Johnny from leaving right now. "I see," he said, simply, trying not to sound particularly judgmental. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes it is a necessity to keep identities secret," Del pointed out. "Dressing as a member of the opposite sex is a good way to keep an identity secret. I can see the logic in it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	girlspy 2010-04-01 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"It makes perfect sense," Alice said with a nod, "If he wants identity to be kept secret, then what better way to do that dress up as a member of the opposite sex?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...You're all nuts," Johnny said with a shake of his head. "But I guess I heard of crazier ideas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You've obviously never spent any time with one of the hero teams. Nuts is a way of life and sometimes the only way you survive," Sammy said mildly. "S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't as diverse in their agents as the head office likes to believe but the head office just might be tired of bringing in special agents for the situations we're going to handle. Maybe you'll learn to be flexible, Agent Walker. Especially when there may be times we might be working with some of those nutty teams."

	"Mine isn't an ability that's easy to show," Del said. "I can create personal force fields to withstand energy attacks and light arms fire. I can also shut down electronics and download computer information. Nothing flashy or showy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-04-06 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	"But definitely a useful ability. The colonel is counting on us to collect data from computer systems when we find them. The rest of us can't do what you'll be able to do in a fraction of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	american_idol 2010-04-07 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Johnny nodded. "Useful," he agreed. Partially because he could barely navigate google, but he wasn't going to admit to that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
