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.

	"That's not exactly what I asked." The walk from Penny's to the drugstore was pleasant enough, certainly better than driving the SUV a block to find another parking spot. "Didn't think I'd notice, did you? I don't care if it's big or small, is there something in it that bites? I bite back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There is nothing in the water you have to bring your Glock in for, but Ah have known certain things to bite." he teases.

"Really, you won't get bitten. It's a nice, cool pond with a rope swing and a tire swing, if you like such thing. It's all very Stand By Me...without the leeches." Jason says.

Later in life, he will come to know that such a description isn't exactly reassuring. For now, he's certain that he's given Sam enough reason to still come swimming.

The 'certain things' that bite comment was too hot for her to touch with a ten foot Glock. She left it alone before she was red faced and getting herself into trouble.

Although, the thought had a lot of bite to it all on its own.

"You're kidding, a tire swing?" She laughed aloud at the prospect. "I've never tried one. I can't wait. It'll be another new thing on my list."

"No kiddin'. There are so many tire swings in this town, one would think we'd robbed a Firestone to make them." he laughs.

"Ah think you'll like it very much. The sunblock is over there." Jason says, nodding toward the northwest corner of the store, once they enter.

He also considers the idea, in his head, of putting sunblock on Sam and finds that he has no objection to this if he asks. He really wants to see her on the tire swing, though, just because she's never been on one.

Given her father's pasty Irish genes trying to coexist with her beautiful mother's smooth skin toned Italian ones, Sammy religiously applied a sunscreen to keep from burning. Burns hurt, and stopping time while burned didn't make it go away any faster.

It didn't take long to gather up what she needed, get a hair tie and a hat, and meet Jason back at the registers. At least with more of her covered, it was less she had to try and reach.

	He himself purchases a bag of Wildberry Skittles and a few bottled waters for the two of them. He's all paid up and ready to go when she returns with her items. When she's ready to go, Jason will escort he back outside. "Do you mind if Ah drive for this one? You've been doing it since we got here, and Ah feel like Ah'm takin' advantage." he says.

	"Sure, if your ribs are okay with it." She smiled a little sheepishly. "I have been kind of bossy about it and I'm not the boss here." She took the key ring from her pocket and held it out for him. "However, if I think you're hurting from it, I will be bossy again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-13 02:30 am UTC (link)
	"Ah promise that if Ah start hurtin' from it or anythin' else, Ah will not revoke your bossy." he smiles, taking the key. "Now, let's get in the car, Gorgeous. We've got plenty of time to hang out in the sun and swim before later on." he tells her, moving to open the passenger door for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy took advantage of the public place and kissed him. "Is that seven or eight?" she asked, so close that the unconscious lick of her lower lip caught his bottom lip as well. "I haven't heard you mention going into the lab since yesterday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The kiss forces Jason's eyes closed; her lower lip against his own causes him to shudder involuntarily. He can feel the gooseflesh appear on his arms, and suddenly, he wonders why he brought a coat when she can set him on fire just by doing that.

"That was seven, Gorgeous." he says, and this time he kisses her, gently running his fingers up along her spine, beneath her hair and up the back of her neck, before letting them retrace the way down to base.

"That was eight." he smiles. "And it's hard to think about the lab when you're constantly resetting my brain like that." Jason says.

"Maybe Ah'll go into the lab tomorrow. Ah'd rather have good company today." he says.

	Sammy shivered at the touch along her spine. Talk about resetting. This entire trip was a reset on how she was looking at things. "Your brain needs to be reset on a daily basis. Since you don't sleep enough, I'll have to experiment with various ways to see what works best with you." She kissed him one more time, a soft brush of lips. "Nine. Now let's go get wet."

"Ah look forward to your ideas on the matter." he says softly.

He'll start the car and drive them out to Jessica's house. After going inside to talk to Jessica, who waves at Sam and thanks her for saving her life, the pair arrive at the pond. It's a giant circle, at least a football field in width, and barely shorter than that in length. There's an old Sycamore Tree near the water with a tire hanging from one of the branches, as well as a rope.

Lastly, there is a small wooden pier that leads out to the dark blue water.

"And here we are." Jason says, smiling. He gets out of the car, pulls off his jeans and shirt to reveal swim-trunks and his bandaged torso.

Then, he takes off running toward the pier to jump in!

He would have time to jump in the water because she still had to put the new suit on. She shot a half hearted glare his mad dash to the end of the pier and stopped time.

Silence. All sounds faded, including the ruffling of tree leaves. Jason was in mid-stride, poised in a position that could never be achieved in real time.

Sammy changed quickly, in the open with complete privacy. She released the temporal freeze and started a new one for the run toward the pier.

When the second one was released, she was standing at the end with her arms crossed and a triumphant smile on her face.

	Tech blinks, and starts trying to slow down as he sees Sammy at the end of the pier! He can't slow himself enough however and she'll head only "YOU CHEATED!" and he falls into the water. /SPLASH!!/ He laughs as his head breaks water. "That was mean!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-09-13 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Sammy was laughing herself. She leaned over over the edge, hands on knees for support. "That is life and I am very mean. I cheat every chance I get!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-13 04:57 am UTC (link)
	"Oh really?" Jason asks, swimming closer to her. "Cheaters never prosper." he says. Then he tries to pull her into the water with him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-09-13 05:01 am UTC (link)
	What wasn't fair was that she had to mind his ribs. She let him pull her, going limp before she hit the water. She broke the surface and splashed him. "Now look who's cheating!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-13 05:25 am UTC (link)
	"That was not cheating. That was hoping you'd fall for my plot!" he says, pulling her close to him in the water. "You really do look great in that swimsuit." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-09-13 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Sammy bumped into him and reached for his shoulder to steady herself. "Thank you. I'll need to hear more about this plot to see if I approve." She couldn't stop from brushing the wet hair from his forehead. "It's like a little pocket of unreality here. I feel like I'm playing hooky from my life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Tech laughs lightly.

"Now, it's not a secret plot if Ah tell you, Agent Fury." he teased, making sure to hold her steady. She might see a flash of colored skin on either of his shoulders as he discards his shirt and tosses it up on the pier.

"Ah think you'd have made a fine Southern woman in another life, Sam." Jason laughs. "But our time here has been a lot like a world away from the world. Maybe next time you go on a trip, Ah'll invite myself. To watch your back, of course." he says.

	"I'm going to need a week of all nighters to catch up on my school work after this. The only trip I'll be taking is the university library..." She did catch the flash of colored skin. "Speaking of backs, turn around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Wait. Ah'm keepin' you from school?" Jason asks, a little stunned. He hadn't wanted to interfere in her life quite that much. She was.enjoying herself, though, right? He hoped this wouldn't be an issue later.

He turns around when asked and Fury will see a tattoo of a clock inside of a glass bottle. Beneath it, she will see a series of letters.

IICSTIAB.

She will also find on his left shoulder blade a picture of a rain cloud over a human brain, and upon his right shoulder blade, binary code.

	She smiled when she saw the clock tattoo. If she was wearing her own suit, he might've seen the clock tattoo on her hip. "My schedule is pretty flexible. I have a note from the King of S.H.I.E.L.D. and online classes." "Is the binary code a real one?" She ran a fingertip over the clock face. "And why did you get a clock in a bottle?"

Jason nods. "Yes. It's the rough equivalent of all the names of the members of my immediate family." he says.

"It took a long time to put it together. The clock is and bottle are a nod to my favorite song, which is "Time In A Bottle" by Mr. Jim Croce.

The letters beneath it are the first letter to each word in the first line of the song. 'If I could save time in a bottle'..." he explains.

	She nodded, though he couldn't see it. She was familiar with the song. "That explains something about you. And the storm cloud over the brain?" She touched that as well. "Is that how it seems when your brain is in overdrive?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
