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.

	"Gran still doesn't understand why Ah got rid of it. But Ah learned real quick in the business that most gangsters don't respect you if they think you're a hick." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're not in the gangster business anymore," she minded him as she started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot. No one seemed to be inclined to follow, so it looked like they might get away with only a bruised ego behind them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Most /people/ don't respect yah if they think you're a hick, either." Tech says. "But Ah'm glad Ah'm not in the business anymore. It was never the right fit for me." Tech tells her. "That was a pretty sweet move yah pulled on Stevie Ray. Did yah stop time on that one? Because Ah was lookin' dead at yah, and Ah still didn't even see it happen in full."

	"Most people are idiots, but I know why you would. Tell you what, when it's just you and me, you can talk any way you feel comfortable." "Hell yes, I did. He was too big to take down safely. Somebody would've gotten hurt and there would have been damage. It'll add to the S.H.I.E.L.D. mystique when the story gets around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, Stevie Ray won't wanna let the story get out. He'd get laughed out of just about any bar in town. I didn't like his chances the moment he insulted you, though, I nearly went upside his head with my drink glass." he tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The sheriff might tell it. I gave him a look at my ID so he didn't get crazy about my Glock." She snorted over the insult comment, unladylike but she couldn't help it. "He has no imagination about insults. I've heard worse at diplomatic parties in New York, and in better English." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Stevie Ray isn't the brightest bulb in the box, that's for sure. He was good at football and not much else." Tech says.

"Considering you can shoot better than the sheriff can, I suppose that was simple self-preservation. You're one of the most...interesting people to come through town in years, Fury. I don't think the novelty of a Agent will wear off in the near future.

You all come in as many different flavors as ice cream." he says.

	"Agents are supposed to come in all different flavors," Sammy said. "That gives the organization the broadest pool of experience and talent available." She paused. "Now I want ice cream. I don't suppose you have a 24 hour market around here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We've got Wal-Mart, of course. Let's go. Do you like caramel and cherries? Chocolate?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy waited a beat before answering. It was already becoming a joke between them. "Coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar thisismyweapon 2010-09-01 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"Fury, you are aware that food comes in other flavors, right?" he jokes, shaking his head. "I seriously think I need to find out if there are traces of blood in your coffee stream." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm aware, but I don't let it get me down," she teased right back. "My favorite ice cream is the one I pick when I look in the freezer. Which way am I going?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Go up two more streets, then make a right at the light. It's a Neighborhood Market instead of a Super Wal-Mart, but they're open all night." Tech says. "I love the toppings you can put on ice cream. The ice cream itself is incidental." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar sammyfury 2010-09-01 05:19 am UTC (link)
	She followed directions, proving that at least when in pursuit of dessert she could, and slid into a parking spot. "If the ice cream is incidental, why bother with it? Why not just mound the whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate and butterscotch syrups and chopped nuts, and forget the ice cream?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar thisismyweapon 2010-09-01 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"Because Gran would kill me long before diabetes did." he answers simply. "However,you make a good case for leaving out ice cream. But I don't think all of that would go so great without ice cream. I'd have to find something else to put it on." Tech says, considering just that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Everything in moderation, Tech. Except my coffee, so don't go there," she warned. Whipped cream and a Southern accent were two things she shouldn't be thinking about right now. Her adrenaline from the bar tussle hadn't worn off enough yet. "You could put it on pudding, or Jello. You want to sit tight and I'll go in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Come now, beautiful. Ah wouldn't dream of tellin' yah t'limit yourself on coffee. I like not gettin' shot." he grins, reaching out to pat Fury's hand.

"Now, you run on in and Ah'll wait right here for yah." he says, leaning back in the seat. The idea of watching her walk away appeals to him greatly right now. So do a few other things regarding Fury and movement, but he was trying to keep those thoughts in moderation, too.

	"Do you want anything while I'm in there?" she asked, amused. No one on the team would believe that this was their tech specialist out of the lab. She had to get him out of the lab more often. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar thisismyweapon 2010-09-01 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, actually. A six-pack of Vanilla Creme Soda. Amazing stuff, that." Tech smiles. "Oh, and some whipped cream and cherries, for the ice cream, please and thank yah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Marriot's Bar sammyfury 2010-09-01 03:27 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy was no heathen. The ice cream would be chocolate chocolate chunk (she didn't find the coffee ice cream). She located the soda, which sounded perfectly disgusting to her, and the whipped cream and cherries as well as chocolate syrup and sprinkles. She was out of the market in twenty minutes and climbing back into the SUV with their goodies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tech, meanwhile, was napping while she was in the store. Good.dreams abounded, mostly, until he dreamed that Jake asked.him to choose between his family and S.H.I.E.L.D. He was just about to answer when Fury got back in. Coming awake again, Tech smiles. "You are a goddess, Fury. Ah thank you." Tech grins, smiling over the soda. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll remember that when I'm busting your ass in the gym and you're complaining how mean I am," she said cheerfully. "You might not make it through dessert. Twenty minutes and you were sleeping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey now, Ah was just restin' my eyes. Ah'm ready for ice cream." Tech assures her. "And Ah'll make sure to keep tonight in mind when you're kickin' mah ass in trainin'. Just be gentle with me; it'll be mah first time." he quips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It'll be for your own good," she said in her best virtuous voice. "Like taking your vitamins. I won't promise to be gentle, but I will quite thoroughly teach you everything I know that isn't classified." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah appreciate you takin' an interest in me, Fury. Lord knows yah didn't have to." he says. "Ah'll do mah best tag learn everythin' yah show me, Fury. Ah want to contribute to the team and organization to the best of mah ability." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
