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.

"Threatening me with a good time? I can't wait to see what that brain of yours cooks up."

"The deputy director is an Italian citizen and she's never given it up. That gives me dual citizenship. Not that it makes a lot of difference, but it's an option that gives me a choice. I still can't get into Italy any easier than I can with other countries. S.H.I.E.L.D. ID pretty much handles all of that."

	"Italy was one of my exit plans if things ever got too hot in Bon Temps. Ah got a book on their architecture from a friend when Ah was younger. Ah think Ah'll make my next vacation spot there. Get myself a villa and lounge under the sun in Tuscany." Jason says, going to grab a towel for each of them. "Oh, and maybe make a gun or two." he says with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You should if you get the chance. It's beautiful, and the food is amazing." Sammy accepted a towel and finished drying. "One vacation to Rome, I ate gelato at every place I could find. Then I spent that night being sick. I still can't believe Mom let me do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-15 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Your suggestion is noted and Ah'll do it as soon as Ah can." Jason nods. He laughs at the gelato story, trying to imagine a miserable Sam who'd inhaled too much good stuff. "Some lessons can only be learned through hard experience." he says, still trying to suppress a chuckle or two. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I scoff at the idea you could relax enough to hold down a lounge by a pool, though. Oddly enough, I can see you sightseeing and touring." Sammy used the towel to soak up any remaining water from her hair. "You /do/ things. Personally, I love to lay in the sun and soak it up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah could lounge, Sam. Ah could be the coolest lounge lizard, ever." Jason says solemnly. He abruptly turns away before he starts laughing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A mental image of Jason as a lounge lizard, complete with double knit polyester leisure suit and tail. She began to laugh. And laugh. Stress and tension, what was left after their long, revealing conversation, drained away with the impulse. She leaned against the SUV, giggling madly. She couldn't remember the last time something hit her so hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Okay, Jason didn't think it wasn't that funny, but he laughs along with her anyway.

Jason notes that this is the first time he's seen her so...giddy. Either he's doing a good job at playing the country bumpkin or she's really liked the idea of him as a lounge lizard. That wouldn't be such a bad Halloween idea...

"May that image be trapped in your head for all eternity, just as the constant fear of being attacked by corn weevils is trapped in mine." he laughs.

	"Nooooo!" The giggles took over again. It wasn't that funny, but the release valve would not be denied. "Do you know 'Mack the Knife'? All lounge lizards know that song." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-16 01:49 am UTC (link)
	"Ah'm offended. Ah know 'Mack the Knife'! If we had a piano, Ah might could play it for you, but we don't, so Ah can't. You should be careful what you wish for, though. My singin' could wake the dead in four counties." He comes over to hug her a moment. "It's good to see you laughin' and smilin' again, Sam, even if it's at me." he says.

	She hugged him back, hanging on to him longer than considered polite. "No, not at you. Never /at/ you." She wiped her eyes and kissed his cheek. "I'm sorry, but really needed that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ah'm glad Ah could help." he says genuinely. She's found a way to lighten her load, and Jason is glad for that.

"Now, to get home, shower, and get on out to Clarice and change that combination. Then, we can get dinner and relax a bit before anything else." he says, drying his hair with the towel, which is now all unkempt.

He, of course, tries to smooth it back down, to no avail.

She, of course, tried to help by running her fingers though his hair. It did no good, but she liked the sensation of his hair against her palm.

"It'll give you time to decide where I can touch your skin and not distract you while you work." She tossed the towel and her clothes into the backseat and climbed into the passenger seat. "Skin contact works best for what I do."

"Hm. It will have to be my neck. That would be the least distracting place you could touch me where I can keep my focus." Jason says, enjoying her fingers in his hair.

Once they're in the car, he'll reverse and put the vehicle in drive, then lace his fingers with hers. They'll drive back to Gran's and pull up to the back porch.

"And here we are again." Jason says, kissing Sam's hand.

	"It'll also go easier if you don't get distracted by what's not happening around you." She looked through the windshield at the house but made no move to get out of the car. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is everything okay, Sam?" Jason asks, looking out the windshield to try to find what's captured her attention. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-09-16 04:59 am UTC (link)
	She shook herself. "Everything's fine. Must be the lack of coffee catching up to me. It's been hours since my last cup." She smiled to reassure Jason. "I like your plan. Clarice and the warehouse, whatever we find in the closet, then dinner and maybe dancing if I'm either really good or very bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-16 05:03 am UTC (link)
	That sounded a little...automatic. "Sam, you sure you okay? Do you wanna catch a nap? We did get up pretty early. Or Ah can make you some coffee? Ah do get to take care of in return for takin' care of me so well lately." he reminds her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm okay, really." She squeezed his hand. "You've done a lot for me already and it's just been a few days." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jason nods and gives her hand a final squeeze before getting out of the car. He doesn't want to press, so if she says she's okay, he'll go with it for now.

He grabs his Skittles from the car and leads the way into the house, popping a few in his mouth. A euphoric look crosses his face as he enjoys the Wildberry goodness.

"Oh, this is close to Heaven, this right here." he says happily.

	"I'm pretty sure corn weevils love Skittles," she said, carrying her clothes and padding barefoot behind him. "You better keep an eye on them. They could disappear right out of your hand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ah have two rules in life. Don't try to snatch my Skittles or my woman. Those corn weevils will find themselves on my bad side if they violate rule number one, as will anyone else who tries it. That could definitely end you up on the naughty list tonight, Sam." Jason says, looking back to grin at her.

"Forewarned is forearmed."

Thump!

Of course, that would have looked much cooler had he not bumped into the wall just then. He laughs, between rubbing his forehead.

	"Looks like you need to invent a rearview mirror hat," she said, trying hard not to laugh. She stopped to peer at his forehead. "Looks like you've got a hard head, my friend. And for the record, I'm not afraid of ending up on the naughty list, tonight and any other night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-09-16 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	Jason grins. "Then why wait? You just made thr naughty list, since Ah feel like abusin' my power. The Corn Weevils will not avail you here, Agent Fury." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-09-16 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy tsked at him, shaking her head in mock disappointment. "See, it's that abuse of power that'll get you every time." She kissed his cheek and headed up the stairs with her armload of clothes and shoes. "I'll be down in a bit. Watch out for weevils. They're sneaky." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
