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.

"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?"

"Sometimes it is. Other times, it feels like a tsunami. So many ideas, so many things to build, so many concepts I need to understand...it gets maddening at times." Jason says quietly.

He turns to look into her eyes and smiles. "I remember when my mind was silent and I could sleep for more than a few hours a night. I don't know if I could ever go back to that, Sammy." he says.

"Has it felt that way in the last few days?" She'd been watching. No move to toward the home lab, no furious writing in a notebook. If she had to make a guess, she was the one spending time with her PDA, not him with his...did he even use one?

"Because we're going to work on that. I want you to be happy working with the team but I also need you to be happy inside your head, too."

"No, not really. Ah mean, Ah still get ideas and stuff, but Ah don't feel like Ah gotta build 'em right away. Ah been more /here/ than Ah have before." Jason says, considering as he brushes a wet lock of hair from her face.

"Usually, my power is like an all-consumin' song in my head that Ah gotta sing. The last couple of days, though, it's been more background noise, and Ah can understand the words sand hear the melody more.

That probably makes /no/ sense at all, does it?" he chuckled.

"Not a lot, but it doesn't have to make sense to me as long it does to you. It must be what your grandmother was talking about, that you were different this trip."

He didn't expect it to make much sense to her. She spoke English and he spoke English's weird cousin.

He splashed Sam to lighten the mood.

"How often do you get to go swimming in New York?" he asks.

She made a face and splashed him back, kicking off to have some room to maneuver. The old trick wouldn't do here. She wasn't ready for /that./

"A couple of times a week as part of my training program. I usually swim alone or with people who know what I can do. Swimming and jogging are helpful to work on my temporal control." She circled around him slowly, looking for an opening to attack.

Jason laughs as she pushes away and begins to circle. He sends a couple of water volleys to keep her off balance, though he does seem a bit slower on his right, where his ribs were hurt.

"They do? Hm. Ah never considered either of those as possibilities. You said you can do sixty seconds, right?" he asks.

"Have you ever sped up or slowed down time?" he asks.

Sammy smirked and appeared to be moving ahead of the water splashes.

"Ninety seconds now. Running and swimming are unique in that I'm in motion and it's easy to count off. I count thirty on, five off, and in the off period I actively stop time. I have to practice on a closed course or it would be obvious I'm doing something weird. I've never tried to slow or speed it up."

She sent back splash volleys, aiming at his uninjured side.

Jason ducks beneath the water to avoid the splash volleys and tries to sneak up and grab Sam from behind.

"Ah have you now, Agent Fury. Ah'm the mad scientist that's been tryin' to capture you for several days. Ah have ways of makin' you talk." he says playfully.

She nearly sputtered when she realized he was playing Spy Interrogation. How many conversations between her parents had she accidentally walked in on that contained the words 'I have ways of making you talk'?

Thank god they weren't around because the mad scientist angle was enough to make her want to play along.

"That's what all the mad scientists say," she asserted. "There's nothing you can do that will make me break my oath."

"Oh, Agent Fury, you think you've faced organizations like mine before, but you're sorely mistaken. Ah'm the man from E.V.I.L. and we train to defeat agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on a regular basis." Tech grins.

He kisses her shoulder, then the area between her shoulder and neck.

"Now, Agent Fury. Tell me who sent you." Jason says, giving just a little more twang to his accent.

"I will never tell. You can't make me." Her voice sounded shaky to her own ears. The shiver down her back turned into a full tremble. Her eyes closed.

/What am I doing, I hardly know this guy.../

/Ah don't even know this girl.../

"Tsk. Ah was really hopin' you'd see reason, Agent Fury. Now, Ah must resort to other measures." Jason says, applying a kiss to her shoulder blade as his arms settle around her.

His fingertips gently walk up her left arm as she shudders, and he applies a small bite to her shoulder. Light enough to let her know he's done so, but not nearly enough to leave any sort of mark or indentation.

"Ah will ask again, Agent Fury. Who sent you?" he asks.

"I..." Sammy swallowed and tried again. "I...never see reason."

She turned in his arms and buried her face in his chest.

Jason thought he was being flirtatious (possibly even seductive) by playing this game with Sammy. He was about to continue when she buried her face in his chest.

Somehow, he thought the game had just stopped being fun and started being real.

"Sammy...did Ah say somethin' wrong? If Ah did, Ah didn't mean to. Ah only wanted you to feel as safe with me as Ah do with you." Jason says.

"Is there any way we can talk about this? No walls, no...no games. Just Jason and Sam? Please?" he asks.

Sammy lifted her face to his and kissed him softly. Her entire body seemed to sigh. "Let's sit on the pier for awhile, okay? We'll talk."

She didn't wait for an anser before she gently pushed her way out of his arms and swam back to climb out and sit on the edge with her feet dangling in the water."

Jason kisses her and watches as she moves away from him. He's never seen Sam so...vulnerable before. He knows he's look at the woman who scared off the entire Bon Temps Road Crew without blinking, but right now she seems so...sad.

She's carrying something she doesn't know how to put to down, Jason. Gran had told him that first morning after they arrived.

He follows her to the pier and sits next to her. He doesn't prod her to talk or try to start the conversation. He knows she's speak when she's good and ready, and he'll wait all day and night for her to be just that.

"Take your time, beautiful. Ah'm right here." he says, reaching out to touch her hand gently, before slowly pulling it back. He doesn't want to force any contact on her, either.

She took his hand and laced her fingers with his, carefully not looking at his face. Instead she looked at the water, the opposite bank, the sky. It was all so much more peaceful than her normal life.

"I recruited you to replace two people on my team," she said after awhile. "Two I lost in our first mission. One ran back to England because she couldn't handle it. The other was killed. It was my fault. He... Qamar...and I ..."

He holds her hand and waits for her to speak. When she begins telling him why she brought him onto the team, it makes sense, in terms of manpower.

But then she talks about Qamar and a horrible truth sets in on Jason. She'd had to pack up her feelings for someone she'd loved and cared for and soldier on. Never mind that the new guy was eccentric, erratic, possibly crazy genius...but now said guy had dragged her into his own life while she was still in pain and had the temerity to hit on her too?

Jason Landon, at this moment, feels like a complete idiot.

"Sam, Ah...Ah am so sorry." he says quietly.

Every time she looked at him, she had to be reminded that Qamar wasn't here. If Qamar were still here, there's a good chance that Jason wouldn't be, and on top of all that, she blames herself for what happened to this man.

The first thing he does is turn her head gently to look at him.

"It isn't your fault, not in any way. Qamar knew the risks going in and he knew the business, just like all of us on the team. He knew there were chances that things could go off-plan, just like you. You would never want another member of this team to blame themselves if you were hurt or, god forbid, killed in action. Ah...Ah know you loved him, or you at least felt pretty deep for him, but you can't let this eat you alive.

You've used everything you've learned to make yourself better, tougher and stronger. You've put together the best team you know how, Samantha Fury. Ah didn't know Qamar, but Ah gotta guess he was a great guy if you took an interest in him.

But Ah also don't think he'd want you to blame yourself for him doing his job, which was to support the team. You got knocked down, Sam, but it's not about the fallin' down. It's about the gettin' up.

And I've never seen you do anything but get up." Jason says.

"Getting up is hard sometimes, and I suspect in the future it will get harder." Sammy thought Jason sounded awfully understanding, but she hadn't really expected anything else from him. In a very real way, these last few days had been stripping each other bare to see the scars.

Raising her eyes to his was hard as well, but she was rarely a coward. "I brought you onboard because I
need you. I'm keeping you because I like you,
Jason Landon. It's been fun flirting but I know I have
issues to work out. You have issues with your family. I'm not going to sleep with you because I'm a
mess."

He understood what it was to watch someone pay for his mistakes, or what he perceived to be his mistakes, so Jason understood why she blamed herself. Still, the longer she let it reside in her heart, the longer it had to lodge itself there permanently.

Her next words are not what he wants to hear, but somewhat expected. He knew, in the back of his mind, that things between them would never go further than whatever they shared here for these few days. They were from different worlds and their lives were meant for different directions. He'd told himself all of the things that a guy would tell himself when he realized that the girl of his dreams was out of his league.

"Ah was never in this to sleep with you, Sam. Ah would honor the privilege if Ah ever received it, but...it was never a goal or an endgame for me." Jason says, looking away toward the skyline.

"We've had a lot of fun, Fury. Ah'll always remember that." Jason says.
