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.

"Normally it is, bellefleur, but Ah'm findin' more 'n more that some people ain't blessed with the good sense the Lord gave a turnip." Tech says.

His thumb strokes the inside of Fury's palm as he talks to the man.

"Offer ain't gon' come 'round again, boys. Sit and drink or..."

"Fuck you, Landon! Ya ain't nothin' more n' a thug in good clothes. And this Shreveport piece o'ass just proves it." Stevie Ray yells.

"Baby, if you wanna break his face, feel free." Tech says easily.

"You did promise me a good time," she said in the same cool tone, pulling her hand from his. Shreveport piece of ass, indeed.

The bar was suddenly treated to the sight of Stevie Ray face down on the floor. Sammy had one knee jammed into his back holding his good arm (she wasn't sadistic) behind and levered up as high as it would go without breaking. The floor was particularly unpleasant with all the shoes that had passed over it since the bar opened that day. It took the bar a moment to realize what happened and quiet down as they watched.

"Stevie Ray," the volume of her voice didn't change, though she did take on a chastising tone, "I understand you have some hard feelings, but perhaps you're letting the beer talk you into doing some stupid things. Now, you're a man who knows about choices, am I right? You can choose to continue this confrontation and maybe the sheriff will have to get involved, and then I'll have to do something I really don't want to do, or you can choose to let Jason buy you and your boys a round and you can go back to your game. What do you say?"

	Even Tech was shocked at the speed in which Fury had just dropped Stevie Ray. The other guys from the Road Crew suddenly seemed hesitant about intervening. "How about them beers, boys?" Tech asks, right as Sookie returns with a pistol. "Let him go, bitch, or I splatter your boyfriend all over the linoleum." she says with shaking hands. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now Sheriff Deerfield gets invoved, an older man with iron grey hair putting a hand on his weapon. "Put the gun down, Sookie. Nice and easy." he says to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Listen to the gentleman, Sookie. Did I come in here name calling and tell you your name is stupid?" Sammy calmly removed the Glock from the holster inside her jacket and aimed it at Sookie's voice. "'Come meet Gran,' he says. 'Let's go have a beer,' he says. He should've said he was sorry I'd miss my workout in the morning and I'd get to beat up on low class, uneducated morons."

She pushed up a tiny bit on Stevie Ray's arm "It's your call, Stevie Ray. You want to have a drink on my boyfriend, or does the sheriff get to look at my I'd and gun permit while I take Sookie into SHIELD custody for attempted murder of a SHIELD agent?"

	Sookie doesn't move. "Bill Deerfield, /arrest/ these people! They're attackin' Stevie Ray and Ah'll be dammed if Landon gets away with hurtin' him again!" Sookie yells, cocking the gun. Steve Marriot comes out of his office just then. "Sookie, /why/ do you have a gun in my bar?!" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech is still sipping his drink when the gun is cocked.

"Sookie, my girlfriend is not joking with you. You could get the death penalty if you kill me. Murder with special circumstances. Then again...you might only get life in prison." Tech speculates, putting the glass down and keeping his eyes on Fury.

"Then again, you might get a decent lawyer like Sid Mike Langford and he could bargain it down to life in prison. Odds are you'd end up in Fort Leavenworth. Do you know who else is stayin' in Leavenworth now?" Tech asks.

Sookie's face pales. It appears she does.

"How long you reckon you'll survive if my animal of a brother catches wind of what you did? Ah don't much care for your chances, Sookie. Now...do we drink or do Ah die?"

After a long moment...Sookie hands over the gun to the Sheriff.

"Steve? A round for everyone, please." Tech says, getting up to go outside.

Sammy waited a minute longer before reholstering her Glock and easing up from Stevie Ray's prone body. Two steps back from the angry man, she reached into another pocket for a fold of leather to open in the sheriff's direction. Now that the immediate danger was passed, she turned her head to see Tech moving.

"Hon?" she asked, using the word for an inquiry, /are we leaving?/

	"Yes, baby. We're leavin'. Mr. Marriot has had enough trouble on account of me and Ah'm sorry Ah--I didn't show you that good time." Tech says, heading to the car. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar sammyfury 2010-08-31 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy lagged a couple of steps behind, making sure no one followed them out. Outside, she caught up to him and took his hand. It would be expected by anyone who watched, and let her take him into a temporal pause if necessary. "Are you all right?" she asked in a low voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She was ready to shoot me, Fury." Tech says after a moment, his fingers lacing with hers, because people would expect it.

"That's wasn't scary, though it should be. I always knew there we're people out there who were angry enough to take a shot at me, but no one ever has, so it was more of an abstract. If you hadn't been in that bar, I'm not sure anyone would have stood up for me, except Steve. He and I get along." Tech smiles mirthlessly.

Maybe it was the adrenaline or the idea people might be watching to see next, or both, that prompts Jason Landon's next action.

He pulls his "girlfriend" into a kiss to celebrate surviving, since he isn't getting his 'I survived' drink now, likely.

	Anything Sammy was about to say was lost in the unexpected kiss. When it ended, she smiled slowly, in no hurry to move away. Tech was good at things other than enhancing her weaponry. It was good to know what talents her specialist was hiding. "I can't wait to hear what you tell your gran tomorrow when she hears about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll probably tell her something about a bar and kissing a spy." Tech grins as an idea comes into his head. "There's still some time left in the night. Would you like to fire some rounds?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy laughed under her breath. She slipped an arm around Tech's waist for the walk to the SUV. "First I'm promised homecooking, then I get to manhandle a yokel, and now shooting practice. Are you trying to seduce me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar thisismyweapon 2010-08-31 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Tech smiles brightly, walking her to the car and holding her a.little.closer. He laughs at her question, mostly because he doesn't have the first clue at seducing a woman. "Well, I guess that depends, Fury." he says, looking over to her with mischievous blue eyes. "Can you be seduced?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar sammyfury 2010-08-31 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know," she said frankly. "Not a lot of guys try it with Col. Fury over my shoulder. Cuts down on the distractions, but I imagine some guy will hit on the right formula someday." She beeped open the electronic locks so they could get in for the ride home. "What about you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm in the same boat you are. No one has ever tried, but I...am different from most guys in that I prefer all of my senses engaged if such were to occur.

A sesnory interrogation, if you will." Tech says, starting to feel his ribs tweaking him again. It would be time for another pill tomorrow morning.

"If you're still up for shooting, however, we'll need to make a detour. There are some things you should see, regarding my work, before you leave." he says.

	"That sounds kind of ominous." In the dark she missed the flash of discomfort from his ribs, but not how he was holding himself. "Maybe I should get you home and put you to bed. We can always see this tomorrow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech chuckles a little as she says she'll 'put him to bed'. What was he now, three year old?

"I feel like I'm not living up to my hosting duties, Fury. I'll just have to make up another reason for us to go on a pretend date so that we can pretend to be dating and do...pretend date things.

Okay, it sounds a lot better when I don't use pretend so much." Tech jokes.

"But sure, let's get back to the house. After the next pill I take, it may not be long before I fall asleep anyway, despite the good company." he says.

	"I'll pretend I didn't hear it?" she suggested, chuckling. "I've had a great time so far, but I can see you're hurting. A good night's sleep in your own bed and a pill, I think you'll feel better in the morning and I'll be happy to see anything you want to show me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds good, Fury. I think I've had enough excitement for one evening." he says. "It's getting that I just can't take you anywhere anymore without a fight starting." he jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, babe, with me you just have to take your chances," she drawled in her best sexy voice. Which admittedly wasn't all that sexy because she didn't fit the traditional mold. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar thisismyweapon 2010-09-01 02:28 am UTC (link)
	No, she did not fit the traditional idea of sexy, not in the least. Which is why Tech found it that much sexier. "Ah do reckon that you're makin' fun of the way Ah talk." Tech says, slipping back into his Southern drawl for just a moment as they get in the car. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar sammyfury 2010-09-01 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Me? Never," she vowed. She did check to make sure he got the seat belt fastened, but she tried not to be obvious about it. "The accent is cute. You should use it more often." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
