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.

	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)

	Re: Hours later... sammyfury 2010-09-09 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"What about a shower?" So he wasn't /that/ reasonable. She moved to help with his shirt. "In no way do I think you're utterly helpless. A hot shower might feel good, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... thisismyweapon 2010-09-09 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"Ah'd like to get a shower in before bed. Today was definitely one of those days, especially after runnin' into Manny Ruiz." Tech says, letting Fury help him take off his shirt, despite his previous resistance. He liked having her close by, just because this house was too big to live in alone. He had no idea how Gran did it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Mom was right; you did what you wanted and most men fell into line and let you. It was a handy piece of advice.

She was careful as she tried to get shirt around his healing wounds. The wince that crossed her face at the colorful bruises decorating his ribs wasn't masked in time. She felt sympathy, but no pity. Pain was pain.

"I'll get the bandages off and go start the shower while you finish with the clothes. Let me know when you're out and I'll bandage you again. I'll be in my room."

	He notices her expression and offers a small smile. "It really just looks worse than it is, you know. Ah'm almost can't feel 'em, so Ah'm healin' well." He nods as she says she's going to start the shower. When she leaves the room, he'll finish undressing and wrap himself in a towel to make his way to the bathroom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Don't be brave, yell if you need me," was the last order before she closed his door.

While she waited, she dressed for bed and washed up, putting back on the long shirt and braiding her hair to get it out of the way. She had enough time to check the downstairs windows and doors, and check to see if there was any ice cream for later.

In her room, she sprawled on the borrowed bed and checked her email and notes from earlier on her PDA while she waited for Tech to finish.

Tech takes his time in the shower, slowing getting cleaned up as he shoves down several different thoughts in his head, all of them about Sam. Perhaps she'll have dozed off by the time he gets out.

He laughs aloud in the shower; Fury didn't seem like the kind of person who would just fall asleep on anyone.

Eventually, he will emerge and dry off really well, putting on dark blue sweatpants and a white T-shirt, before making his way up to Sam's room. His hair is drying into the messy style that she would know so well, and Tech is knocking on her door twenty minutes later.

"Are you awake, Sam?" he asks.

	"It's open," she called, sliding off the bed to open the door herself. She left the PDA on the blankets. "f "Feel any better?" she asked when she saw him standing there and upright, too. His eyes looked clear. Maybe he would be able to sleep. "You're going to have to take off the shirt so I can rebandage your ribs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... thisismyweapon 2010-09-09 03:51 am UTC (link)
	"A little better. A bit more, now." he says, entering the room. "You mind helpin' me with the shirt again?" he says, starting to raise the shirt over his head, even as he looks down at her legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... sammyfury 2010-09-09 04:09 am UTC (link)
	"Hold on, /babe/." She clasped his hands before he could get the shirt off, not realizing his eyes were occupied. "The bandages are in your room. Let's go there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Hours later... thisismyweapon 2010-09-09 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, darn. I suppose I should have thought of that." he says, keeping one of her hands in his as he leads her back downstairs to his bedroom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

For a smart guy he was making some definite 'guy' moves. She could afford to be amused because she didn't feel threatened.

Getting his shirt off this time went a lot easier now that he was warmed up, though his attention seemed to be wandering. The hot water had brought out some red tones around the bruises and she touched the area carefully with cool fingers. "I saw the woulds when we arrived in Medical. They do look better. If you hadn't cracked your ribs you wouldn't need the bindings."

"Yeah, Ah really need to make sure the bad guys stay at least ten feet away from now on. Ah got some ideas for that, too, when we get back." he says. The feel of her fingers on his skin is new and nice.

He looks back into her eyes now, smiling. "You were very kind to me about the whole thing. Ah expected to be kicked off the team or at least benched until Ah got back, but you didn't do that.

Thank you, Sam." he says, keeping his eyes on her.

She smiled up at him before turning her attention back to the task. "You heard the others. You did well, and we'll make sure you're up to speed for the next mission. There was no thought about kicking you off the team. I told you already, they gave you to me and I'm keeping you."

She finished and smoothed the edges with her fingertips. "Unless you really have a need for the tee shirt, you'll probably rest better without it."
