Two days in New York City
Jenny was happy to conveniently forgot her scheduled appointment with Dr. Samson, but leave it to Rob to have it on his calendar. The day before, she was notified that she would be collected at 6am and delivered to the S.H.I.E.L.D. transport for the New York run.

She tossed a few items into her shoulder bag along with a new book. She didn't need anymore than that as Rob had kept their leased apartment in New York. Between his monthly trips back to New York and her infrequent traveling, he said it was worth hanging onto it. Everything she might need was already there.

A note was posted on the refrigerator so the team would know she would be in the States for a couple of days. She also included a post script asking Leech to make sure Yankee Clipper was fed. She really hoped Quinn would continue to be tolerant and not turn YC into a fluffy orange and white throw pillow.

In New York, she had time to shower and change clothes before presenting herself at Dr. Samson's office promptly at 3pm. Each time she had one of these appointments she hoped it would be the last. Each time he said he would see her again in three months. At least this time she would have something different to contribute to the conversation.

	"Oh, he is. He already has the team trained to feed him and scratch his ears on command. I think he's already scared one or two in the shower." She took the coffee pot and cups to the table as well. "It smells really good, and I seem to have worked up an appetite." She grinned. "Why can't you have a dog?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, dogs and cats tend to sense when someone is good or isn't. Most dogs get weird around me because of Titan." he says.

"Either they bark like crazy or they get more aggressive. The only dogs that haven't are the ones at the Defenders compound." he says, getting the food on plates and sitting down.

"I hope you like it, Jenny." he says, waiting for her to dig in.

	Jenny dug in, cutting piece of French toast and swirling it in the syrup. A smile of delight curved her mouth at the first taste. "It's delicious." She took several more bites before resuming the conversation. "You and Titan must confuse an animal's world. Is Titan bad or just big and scary?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Titan...is interesting. He could be a great guy, and he is when he wants to. He simply feels that he rarely has incentive to want to. He loves fighting and anything that will let him fight. He also likes alcohol, though he's not old enough to drink." Andy says. "Also, he's an Elivs fan. Don't ask me why or how. And yes, he's big and scary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I suppose if people expected me to behave badly I would live up to their expectations," she mused, carefully cutting sausage for a dip in the syrup. "You came home with me so it sounds as thoug you have a working relationship and I'm not in much danger."

Elvis. That made her smile. Elvis was cool. "I have a few cds in the collection if you'd like to put one in. Have you made it to Graceland? Could be good as a bribe someday."

	Andy blinked. He'd never thought of things with Titan like that. "I came home with you with Titan talking in my head. He's not exactly polite." Andy says. "But I think he gets that I like you." "Okay, I'm not a fan of Elvis, really. I'm more of a Beatles guy. But he really want to see Graceland someday. I'm hoping I he'll behave if I take him." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I can handle rude. The Underground gives a girl lots of practice with rude men."

The eggs were just as good as the rest of breakfast. Left to her own devices, she would have settled for coffee until she left the apartment later. A gorgeous guy who cooked was something she could get used to very quickly.

"You can tell Titan that I like you too and he can't chase me off. You can, but not him."

Ooh, this one's got a mouth on her. But you knew that already, didn't you, Walters?

Andy tries not to say anything to the obvious dig, but his fingers grip his fork a little tighter, causing the metal to bend.

"Be careful. He might take that as a challenge." Andy says, wishing he was even partly joking.

"My plan is now complete. I have seduced you with cheesecake and breakfast. Now, I'm going to really mess with you." Andy says.

"How does a massage sound to you?" he asks.

She nodded to his warning, but she'd always been one not to leave things up to interpretation when saying it plainly served a better purpose. And who knew, she just might vote for a Graceland visit one day. Everyone deserved to have a dream come true at least once.

Or twice... There was another hot shiver down her spine. He was so good at that. "A massage sounds wonderful."

	"Good. So, back, foot, or hand massage?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course you can. Your back has had a hard time of things lately, so it's only right we remedy that." Andy says. Flirting has never been his strong suit, but Jenny makes the trying of it easy. "We should hit the store again soon. Pot roast and veggies sounds like a good dinner tonight. I like planning ahead and all." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why don't we..." Jenny leaned back in the chair and picked up her mug, "do that early and have the aftenoon for movies while dinner cooks? Movies, music, whatever comes to mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Next morning... gammagodling 2010-07-16 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"I agree. In fact..." Andy suddenly comes up with an idea. "I'm feeling like cheesecake again." he smiles widely. "In fact, I'll get all the fixings while you...do whatever you like." Andy grins, then gets up to get dressed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny just knew that after these few days were over, cheesecake would never be just a dessert again. She watched him leave the kitchen with what had to be the world's silliest grin on her face. Cleaning the kitchen gave her enough time to resist the immediate urge to prolong leaving the apartment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Andy is gone for a bit, but returns with everything needed for cheesecake. Or almost everything. "Hey, I'm back!" Andy calls out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Next morning... tabula_rasa 2010-07-16 03:28 am UTC (link)
	The front door opens again. Jenny entered with her own bag of dinner fixings and other necessary items for the afternoon ahead. "I'm home!" she called out. "Andy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Next morning... gammagodling 2010-07-16 03:36 am UTC (link)
	He comes out of the kitchen and kisses her, taking the bags. "Hey gorgeous. Got everything we need for the cheesecake." he says. "How did your shopping go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Next morning... tabula_rasa 2010-07-16 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	She would never get tired of hearing him call her gorgeous. "Surprisingly chaos-free." She followed him into the kitchen to unpack the bags and get dinner started. Slow roasting in the oven all afternoon would make it perfect. She really wanted to make it perfect for him. "I hope you'll be hungry. I don't know how to make it for just two people."

	"Hey, now. I'm certain that we can find a way to eat everything in good time. Besides, I wanted to see if we could work up our appetite again before dinner." he grins. "Meanwhile, I bought a little wine while I was out. Maybe we can have some with dinner." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm willing to keep working at it until we do," she said with a solemnly nod, her eyes bright with surprised laughter. "I picked up popcorn for movies. With everything, I think we're set. We don't have to leave unless we really want to get out and do something else." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm much content to stay here the rest of the night with the company of a beautiful woman." Andy grins, considering the idea he has in mind. He hopes it will firmly establish in her mind the wonders of cheesecake. "Can you remember the last movie you saw in a theater?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Next morning... tabula_rasa 2010-07-16 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	She paused getting out the necessary items to peel and chopp vegetables and get the beef seasoned for the oven. "Current movies or any movie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny leaned against him, tilting her face up to his with a smile. Yesterday she wouldn't have admitted this to a new acquaintance that she wanted to like her. "Mainstream - Prince of Persia. Other - Rocky Horror Picture Show and Pricilla, Queen of the Desert. The last two were a midnight double feature that I couldn't resist." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
