Checking on the home team
Commander Fontaine, Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., made the rounds when the special ops team came back in. After their last disastrous outing, she wanted to make sure they were still in one cohesive piece. The reports had been favorable.

She hadn't met the newest member yet, though she knew the contents of his file. She'd been the one to have it sent to Sammy for consideration. Her little gun nut, and Walker and Dugan, could always use someone with the ability to build a better gun.

Sammy's report had been terse but informative. The others' a little more informative. Landon was next on her list.

"No /wonder/ you're all skin and bones, child. Takeout does not a proper meal make! Jason suffers from the same delusion. Well, I'm just going to have to set you two straight on a few things, starting tomorrow morning." Evelyn says.

"I hope you brought an appetite, Sam, because you're going to have to go home and tell your parents why you've gained a pound or two. Perhaps my grandson's luck in the kitchen will even improve and he'll cook for you all from time to time." she says, though she sounds less convinced of that particular statement.

	Sammy looked down at herself. Skin and bones? Well, she hadn't had much of an appetite since Qamar... But she didn't avoid food. She could always eat. And there was always coffee with cream and sugar. Those were calories. She should introduce Mrs. Landon to Jarvis. "Jason bragged about your cooking all the way here from lunch."

	Evelyn smiles at her. "Jason has a habit of exaggerating." Even still, a faint hint of pink colors her cheeks. "Eats with a will, that boy does. He's not picky, either. How do you feel about waffles, Sam?" Evelyn asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Somehow she didn't think Tech exaggerated. In her short experience with him, he downplayed a lot. "I love waffles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Evelyn smiles, noting some similarities between this girl and her grandson.

"Waffles it is." she says, noting the items she'd need for tomorrow morning in her mind. Of course, she had them all, and if she was missing something, she'd send Jason out for it in the morning before Sam was up.

"Well, Sam, it's been great talking to you, but this old lady needs to get to bed. Will you tell Jason to lock up if you seem him before you turn in, please?" she asks.

	"No need to thank me, Sam. It's my pleasure." she says with a smile. "No, my dear, you already did it." she says, and goes to leave the room. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Several minutes after Evelyn heads upstairs for the night, Tech returns, a favoring his ribs a bit, but not looking too terrible. "Oh, Fury, you're up." he says, poking his head into the kitchen before walking in and sitting down at the table. "I hope you and Gran weren't too bored without me." he smirks. "How's the coffee?"

Sammy was leaning back in the kitchen chair with the cup in both hands as she mulled over the conversation with Evelyn. The woman was as cryptic as Tech on some things. All in all, she quite liked the older woman, and would seriously consider introducing her to Jarvis if she ever visited New York.

She looked up when he entered the kitchen. "Of course I'm still up. It's pretty early for us city girls. I had a lovely chat with your grandmother."

Oh /that/ couldn't be good.

"You city slickers do keep odd hours." Tech grins.

"Thank you for keeping her company, Fury. You didn't have to, but it's appreciated. Gran's as shoot-from-the-hip as you can get around here, short of actually shooting someone." he says.

"I hope she didn't grill you for info on S.H.I.E.L.D. and what we really do. I had to create a little bit of a story for her so she wouldn't worry." he says.

	"She is an admirable lady, and I was raised to give respect where it's due. She didn't grill me, but I get the impression she knows more than she's letting on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd say you're right, Fury. I love Gran, but I'm not going to put her through the things Jake did. A lot of things have happened that shouldn't have and there's a lot to be made up for." Tech says. "Did you have any plans for the rest of the evening?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-08-30 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	After having met Jacob Landon, Sammy didn't have much to say to that. "Plans? This is the wide spot in the road. What is there to do here in the evenings?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, my old high school's football game just ended, but there's an after party at Steve Marriot's bar if you want to go. We could have a drink or two, then come back here." he suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, it won't. They practically expect it around here." Tech says. "I'll need to change my bandages and clothes, but I'll be ready in thirty minutes. Good enough for you?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-08-30 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	"More like ten for me." What she was wearing would have to do. "Do you need help with the bandages?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-08-30 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh no, I'll be fine." he says, a little too quickly. "Shouldn't take long at all. " He doesn't need Fury seeing him struggle; he should have asked Jess to help him while he was over there. He'll make it happen. "Um, let me get to that now." Tech says going to his room down the hall, past the staircase. Twenty-five minutes later, he still hasn't returned.

	sammyfury 2010-08-30 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	While Sammy appreciated a man who's first instinct was to handle his own issues before asking for help, she had little patience for one who put himself through unnecessary trouble. The longer Tech took, the more impatient she grew. When she'd had enough, she knocked on his bedroom door. "Hey, you okay in there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-08-30 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	Crap, it shouldn't have taken this long to get the bandages done, but Fury's knock surprised him. "Um, be right out!" he says, trying to suppress a grunt. After another minute... "Okay, I'm decent, but I just need a little assistance." he finally says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-08-30 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	"You realize I'm rolling my eyes you, right?" Sammy asked as she tried the doorknob and found it unlocked. She opened it to find he was indeed decent and arguing with fresh bandages. She closed the door behind her and held a hand out for the gauze. "Tech, if you need help, you're expected to ask for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-08-30 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	"I can feel your eye-rolling through the door, Fury." Tech deadpans. So far, Fury was certainly on track to become the government's chief ball-buster someday. "Understood, Fury. However, I was raised to explore other options before relying on others. I...had it under control until I moved wrong." he says, offering her the gauze. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-08-30 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	"And I appreciate it." Sammy took a minute to check his bruises. "I really do, but you couldn't have that many options with this." She repositioned several bandages before completing the job. "For instance, my options were to wait longer, check on you myself, or suggest to your grandmother that you might need a hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Thank you for not calling her in, Fury. I appreciate it." Tech says quietly. That would have been worse than the slight amount of shame he felt at letting Fury see him like this.

Once she was done, he slipped the dark blue shirt over his head and turned to face her...and found himself a little closer than he expected to. Her eyes are much more blue than they look at first glance.

"Besides, she'd kill me for keeping a pretty woman waiting." he says.

"Shall we go?" he asks, though he hasn't moved yet.

	"I don't want to worry her either." Sammy straighened his collar and flashed a smile. "You must not bring girls home enough. I think she was trying to fix us up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
