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.

	"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)

	"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."

	"Nah, Ah got no issue sleepin' without one tonight. Sometimes the shirt and the bandages get caught on each other and it just makes like tougher." he says. "Ah like the idea of you keepin' me, Sam. Ah'm glad to know my talents will be put to good use by a decent person." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll do my best not to disappoint you." "You should probably get some sleep." She smoothed one more bit and took a step back. "I'll leave my door open to hear if you need anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay, Sam. You sleep tight, and Ah'll call out if Ah need anythin' at all." he says, finding himself a little deflated at the prospect of leaving her alone.

"Sam...upstairs is a long way to go back to in the dark. You could...stay down here if you wanted, tonight. Ah mean, what if Ah can't yell up the steps for you?

Wouldn't hurt to be close by and all." he says.

She was about to point out that she wasn't scared of the dark, but stopped before the words left her mouth. It had been a long, violent day, with shock on top of surprise, on top of emergency for Tech. Under the same circumstances, she'd have found a reason to wake Alice up for the company.

So she reached out to take his hand in both of hers and squeeze comfortingly. "All right. Is there a room available down here? If not, I'll take the couch."

Tech nods at her question. "You can take this one. Gran's room is across the hall, so Ah guess Ah can sleep over there and you can sleep here or watch TV until you get tired. Ah know you said you don't sleep much, so you have some alternatives if you want 'em." Tech says, running a hand through his messy hair. It didn't do much to tame it, but it was no longer in his face.

	But it was sticking up now. Sammy automatically reached up to finger comb his hair back into place. "All right, I'll sleep in your bed and you sleep in your grandmother's. Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech chuckles to himself as she smoothed his his hair down. It had a will of it's own, Gran had said.

"Thank you, Sam. Ah appreciate it. You have a good night." he says, gently tracing along the curve of her jaw with his finger as his courage starts gathering within him.

Finally, he leans in and kisses her gently, but with a definite heat behind it. When the kiss ended, Tech would smile and turn to go.

It was nice having the last word sometimes.

Bemused, Sammy watched him turn away and go to the door across the hall. In her head she had Alice pushing her forward to grab him and draw him back to the bed, but she didn't. It wasn't her. She needed an emotional connection for intimacy. While she liked Tech and felt there was something, it wasn't enough. Yet.

She let him have the last word and left the door ajar so she could hear him in case he needed her in the middle night. The sheets were cool as she climbed in, and the pillows soft when she fluffed them into position. With the TV remote, she was set for several hours of mindless surfing.
