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, Fury's obsession with coffee would /never/ cease to be a source of joke material. "Ah live in fear of the day coffee is outlawed in this country, Fury." he laughs. "Ah gotta try someday, don't Ah? If it gets bad, Ah'll take one. Promise." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll do what the colonel does when he wants his Cuban cigars. I'll smuggle it onto the helicarrier so I don't get into trouble at the border." She stood up and stretched. "That's all I can ask. And no claiming you have to work all night to get out of it. Your team leader says there is no work tonight unless those corn weevils attack. I'll handle anything else."

	"All right, Fury. No work tonight. Ah'll just have to make sure to find somethin' else to distract me until Ah fall asleep. Ah just hope the.corn weevils don't notice the corn field a piece down the road. Might get ugly if they do." he chuckles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, there's shootin', drinkin', fightin' and football. Sometimes we watch movies or go to church." he smiles. "Ah do need to find another good book to read. Keep thinkin' about buyin' a Nook so Ah can have my favorites on demand." he says. "Spendin' time in the company of good people is also a good way to pass an evenin'. Could also watch TV."

	"I haven't. I don't usually have time to watch TV. You still have a TiVo running here?" She tried to gently nudge him toward the stairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech will follow her the stairs, though his room is further down the hall. It would be easier for her to help with his bandages and retire.for the night if she wanted. He reminded himself to put a TV in her room, at some point.

"Yep. The TiVo in my room is connect to the one in Gran's room, and the one at Jessica's house. That took some real work, but now we all share." he says, a note of pride in his voice.

	There it was again, that flash of genius and passion when he talked about things he'd created or enhanced. It was a marvel to watch. "For me it's usual a movie that I either study through or fall asleep until the ending credits. I have quite a collection of dvds. Do I get a look at those dancing trophies now?'

Tech turned a little red at the mention of the trophies, but his smile.was just as bright.

"Sure you can." he says happily. He'll escort her down the hallway and open the door on the left, showing her the Trophy Room.

Once the light comes on, Tech points at the left side of the room, which is adorned with medals and trophies in various shapes and sizes.

"Those are from Gran's dancin' days. She traveled all over the country to compete." he says, then indicates far right corner.

Here, a pair of football cleats, a pair of wrestling shoes, and a few smaller trophies and medals sit.

"Those are Jake's." he says simply.

The center wall of the room has a mantle filled with trophies, photos and news clippings discussing several dancing contests, meets and events over the previous eight years. Sam will see picutres of a much younger Tech, wearing pin-striped or double-breasted zoot-suits. All of the trophies are first and second place wins.

"And his grandmother taught him well." Tech says quietly.

	Sammy took a slow turn through the room, noting the awards, reading the inscriptions. She paused to read several of the framed articles, impressed beyond polite notice. "Does she still dance?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes. She usually begs off from it, but Ah can coax her into a waltz every now and again. She also teaches the kids in church when she's up for it." he says, noting her interest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stopped to look at a picture. A zoot suit. He was adorable in one, and so young. "I'm impressed, Tech. You know what all this means, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When I need an escort for one of the balls, I'm asking you to go with me." She grinned at his momentary confusion. "What did you think I meant?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... thisismyweapon 2010-09-08 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Tech smiles brightly. "Oh. Well, Ah would be honored, Sam. Careful, though; that almost sounds like a date." he jests. "Ah, thought you meant it was blackmail material to ensure you always got shiny new guns as often as Ah could turn 'em out." he jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... sammyfury 2010-09-08 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Naw, blackmail is best used when other more conventional means have been tried," she said, smirking. "I could just ask, but spies are known for seducing what they want out their targets." Sammy took one more glance around the room before moving back toward the door. "You have a nice family tradition, Tech." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... thisismyweapon 2010-09-08 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Hm. The fact that you just asked rather than ordered leaves me wonderin' when you'll try seducin' me for somethin' you want." he smirks. " And thank you, Fury. Ah sometimes don't feel like Ah got much to be proud of, but this room helps me remember when Ah think that way." he says, following her to the door and turning off the light.

"I'll try seduction after you find out what one of those balls are like and want to beg off," she said lightly. The serious moment must be over, he was back to calling her Fury. It was nice while it lasted.

She waited in the hall for him to lead the way to his room so she could help with the bandages. At least he wasn't being stubborn about it. "You have a lot to be proud of, Tech. Your grandmother said your family has been here for 200 years. That's a lot of family memories."

"Thanks, Sam. Ah'm kinda glad you got to see it. Ah don't bring many people here, so it's nice to show things off a little bit. And the Landons have been in Bon Temps almost as long as there's been a Bon Temps. Ah hope we'll stay to that as the years go by." he says.

He leads her back down the stairs to his room and allows her to enter first.

"You've got the whole Christmas bit on the helicarrier, too. I mean, S.H.I.E.L.D. is pretty much associated with your family, Sam." he says. It's started to feel a little easier to use her first name, though he doesn't want to make a habit of it, especially when they need to be around the team and other people.

He doesn't want to do anything that she'll have to explain later on.

	"I'll mark this day in my calendar - you've called me Sam three times. Should I take your temperature." she looked around again, but didn't explore his room. Bedrooms were private sanctuaries. "It's all right, you know. It /is/ my name." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech takes the lead on showing her his room. He doesn't have any teenage geek-secrets to hide; she's already seen his lab.

The bed sits in the middle of the room, with the TV directly facing it. There is a desk in the nearest corner to the left, which seems to be the most cluttered space in the room. There are sketches and drawings of a several half-finished ideas. The rest of the room is spotless and Tech's bed is made with a large black down comforter, and matching black sheets. There is a nightstand on either side of the bed, which doesn't look like it's been slept in recently.

Across the room is a large window, curtains open. A giant tree scraps gently across the side of the house, above said window and there is a rocking chair the far left corner.

The walls are adorned with posters of men like Asimov, Tesla, Einstein and Howard Stark. There is a "How do you like your Pi?" banner over the bed. He wonders if he should have taken that down.

"Well, it is sort of hot in here just now, but Ah think it has more to do with the company than my well-bein'." he says, giving Fury a look.

	Sammy shot him an amused look. "Nice room. It suits you." She touched the down comforter, ran her fingers over the desktop, peering at sketches she had no chance of understanding, and turned to get a good look at the banner over the bed. Her amusement spilled over into a soft chuckle. "Okay, do you need help getting undressed or just with the bandages?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... thisismyweapon 2010-09-09 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"Ah /will/ get this damned shirt off my head myself. Can't go bein' utterly helpless if Ah can manage it." Tech says. "The bandages are gonna be the tough part, which where Ah'll need you." he says. "We just get 'em off and Ah can lie down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
