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.

	"Maybe here, where conjugating verbs is in question," she teased, grinning. "Have you never had coffee flavored bacon? It's a good thing you joined SHIELD when you did. There's a whole world out there, and some of them like coffee flavored bacon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, we might not always conjugate our verbs correctly, but we don't engage in deviant behaviors such as....coffee-spiking bacon!" Tech says, assuming the culinary moral high ground. He pauses for a moment. "How does it taste?" he asks curiously. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Like coffee flavored bacon. Two great tastes that taste great together." She offered her cup. "Give it a shot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech's expression is skeptical, but he does as requested and takes a piece of bacon and dips into Fury's coffee, then pops it into his mouth.

The taste is new, strange, but not revolting. His head nods in approval. He doesn't think he'll be eating it often, but he consent to trying more often than once a blue moon.

"All right...not bad." he concedes, chuckling at the fact that only a coffee-addict could come up with such a thing.

	"See, it didn't kill you." With soothing caffeine muscling its way into her bloodstream, Sammy was able to fully appreciate the breakfast Mrs. Landon prepared. "Oh, those are homemade waffles," she said with all due reverence, and immediately forked one onto a plate. "How did you sleep?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-03 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, I slept great. Just fine." Tech says, a bit to quickly. He also takes a waffle to enjoy. "Yes, Gran's waffles will give even the most downtrodden soul a reason to rethink life." Tech grins. "How did you sleep?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-03 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy wasn't so distracted by waffles and coffee that she missed his hurried answer. "Did you take any of the pills?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-03 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	"I did. I just...didn't fall asleep afterward, is all." he told her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-03 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Did you get any sleep at all? You'll take longer to heal if you don't. Don't make me shock your grandmother by holding down a chair in your room to make sure you rest.." Waffles, butter, maple syrup; one bite and she closed her eyes in bliss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"An hour or two. I started getting some ideas and I didn't want to lose them. I feel fine, Fury." he smiles. He takes another bite of waffle and eggs and smiles. "This is good stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-03 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	"There's a cafe..." she stopped speaking to take another bite, sighing in pleasure as she did. She took a sip of coffee. "A cafe off Madison nearly the park that does sour cream pancakes that are pretty wonderful, but not likes these. Does she ship care packages? I would pay for these." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-04 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"I think Gran likes you enough not to make you pay for them, but...you'd have to have a way to get them to the helicarrier so they didn't age..." Tech says, thinking about that. "Of course, if I can ever get the teleporter idea I had working, it could happen." he says. He doesn't sound like he's joking about this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Sammy paused again to give him a considering look before her mouth curved into a slow smile. She bent her head over her plate. "You said last night I should see something about your work while I'm here. When?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-04 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, that. Yes, if you're up for it after breakfast, we can go out to Shreveport. There are some things I have that S.H.I.E.L.D. may be interested in." Tech says. "I would like to get them out of the proximity of the Michael Savoy's organization before they end up on the streets." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 02:35 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. The name Savoy was familiar from Jake Landon's file. After the weeks of seeing Tech's work, her desire to see anything of his toys out of Savoy's grasp was a close second to her desire to have them in hers. "Will we need a transport? I can arrange to have one meet us there to collect it and have it sent to the helicarrier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-04 02:39 am UTC (link)
	"That would be a good idea. We'll need one for each warehouse." he says. "Especially for the teleporter. It's not finished, but I'd rather it not end up in the wrong hands before I get it finished." Tech says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 02:57 am UTC (link)
	That prompted her to put down her fork and coffee cup. "Warehouses? How many are we talking about? Wait, I'll be right back. I need my phone." she got up and /ran/ for the the stairs. The long shirt that covered her to her thighs managed to show a little more skin as she took the stairs as quickly as she could go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech watched as she ran out of the room, uncertain as to what prompted her to do so. The flash of skin he could see quickly wiped that wondering away as Tech wondered a bit about what might lurk a little further up that shirt...

"Pure thoughts, pure thoughts, pure thoughts..." Tech said to himself repeatedly like a mantra to ward away evil spirits.

Why did this woman have this effect on him?

	Sammy was back in a few minutes, already connecting to the directorate. She hadn't taken the time to dress, and if possible she looked more tousled by her mad dash. She was focused and in full work mode. "I need addresses, coordinates, whatever you have so we'll be met by transport trucks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All right..." Tech says, unaware that Fury could actually have that done this fast. He provides the addresses of each building, all three in Shreveport.

"You'll want to tell your people not to try to enter without two things. The first is a a search warrant of some kind. The warehouses are owned by Savoy, and he will have his lawyers there in two seconds flat.

The second thing, or things, I will need to go down to the basement and get. They'll disable the security system so that no one is injured or killed trying to get in." Tech says.

"Oh...and tell them to bring a /huge/ truck to the third location. The prototype vehicle ideas are there." Tech says.

	Re: The next morning... sammyfury 2010-09-04 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Sammy relayed the information, holding the phone away from her ear at a squawk loud enough to be heard by Tech. "Question - are there patents on any of those items or ownership paperwork? Do you have /anything/ that could be construed as renting the space from Savoy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next morning... thisismyweapon 2010-09-04 04:44 am UTC (link)
	"Sadly, no. I couldn't exactly patent some of the items I created as many of them are used to kill people in spectacularly violent fashions. I kept the items cataloged in my head." he says. "And my deal with him was pretty much the same as it is with you all; I make the stuff and they use it." Tech tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy blinked at him, thinking Fury-ously.

"Have the warehouses declared part of an internal terrorist cache and a sqaud of armed agents at each one to take possession of the contents. Any of Savoy's men tries to stop us, arrest them for aiding and abetting a terrorist cell."

She paused, listening. "What cell? /My/ cell. This equipment belongs to us. We have paperwork with the creator. I doubt Savoy put any of his deals in writing. Let his lawyers argue it in the UN court."

She turned and grinned at Tech. /We'll get it/ she mouthed.

Tech remained amazed at just how easily the law could be bent to serve the ends of whichever side one was working on. He'd watched Michael and Jacob work the law to avoid any number of RICO violations, nights in a prison cell and even file a lawsuit against the police for harassment and win.

He nods at Fury, continuing with his breakfast and watching her talk on the phone. He figured it was either of her parents, though he couldn't yet be sure which one.

Sammy was speaking to another department entirely. Her first call had been into the head office and then routed around to get what she needed.

Her smiled turned into a scowl. "Fine, but remember what I said. Anybody trying to access those buildings will get hurt. You need my specialist."

She listened for a moment longer and disconnected with a hard tap.

"When S.H.I.E.L.D. picked you and Jake up, what were you doing?"
