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.

	Okay, that got a smile. "Thank you for putting it into practice so quickly. However, wasn't that other group the one that threatened to hurt Mrs. Landon and Jessica? It seems that switching sides would only put different people behind the guns, and your grandmother and Jessica here would still be in the middle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, by God, baby no! Ah meant the new S.H.I.E.L.D. team that's been watchin' him." Jason says. "Ah don't want Gran, Jess or anyone gettin' hurt, so maybe Ah can go through my old files and try to find somethin' they can get him on. Ah turned over a lot of what Ah had at the start but they never got Michael. Why would that be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can think of a couple of reasons. The heads of mob families and major corporations don't usually get their hands dirty and keep themselves separate from the wetwork, or they make deals to turn over somebody higher up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That second option makes a lot of sense, now that Ah look back on it." Jason says, a note of anger coloring his tone. Events that occurred both during and after his time with the organization had new context. Jason was silent for a moment as he thought about the implications. "Is there a way to find out if someone's an informant?" Jason asks finally. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Informant identities are protected. They only deal with one agent, their names are kept out of everything until it goes to court, if then. It might appear in secured computer files, but those are behind some serious walls. S.H.I.E.L.D. informants are well protected. The cases are eventually given to local authority, so that would be a weak spot." As an academic question it fascinated her planning brain. As a practical idea, she didn't like his interest.

"Let them work their case. If you have more informayion, fine, but otherwise let them alone. Their case has to make it through the US legal system."

	"Very well, consider it ended." Jason says simply. He starts washing the bowls in the sink, letting his mind work out a few other things as he considered the merits of the U.S. Justice System. "It's been a long, crazy day, hasn't it, Sam?" Jason asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Later That Evening... sammyfury 2010-09-20 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	She didn't believe for a second he would drop it. If it were her...well, she had her own way around the system and a fierce loyalty to those she loved. "It has," she agreed. "Not the relaxing trip to the country I was lead to expect from all the propaganda on TV." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason laughs. "Oh, that's how we lure you Northerners in. We promise you catfish and hush puppies, then provide intrigue and adventure when you get here." He finishes washing the bowls and dries his hands, then walks over to her. He puts his arms around her and simply holds her for a long moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy had nothing to say, so she only put her arms around him as well. She rested her head against his shoulder and heard the soft thud of his heartbeat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You should go and get that shower. Ah'll wait for Legion and then come catch up with you after you've done all your stuff." Jason says, tracing her spine with his fingers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason holds her close, his fingers tracing up Sam's spine to her neck, and teasing his fingers through her hair. "You smell nice." he whispers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy turned her face into his neck for a moment before /reluctantly/ stepping back. "I'll be down soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason lets her go just as reluctantly. "Ah'll be waitin' for you." he promises. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

This time she didn't hurry. With the entire secong floor to herself she hummed while she showered and prepared emails on her PDA. She sent them off, one to requisition apartment space and additional lab and storage on the ground, and one to get a safe house for Jessica. She cited the ongoing mission with Savoy as the reason they were attacked and delicate condition of the expectant mother.

With those done, she went back downstairs to find Jason.

Legion had arrived not long after Sammy went upstairs. Jason gave the android a series of protocols and sent him to patrol the woods. He would not return to the house unless totally necessary.

When Sammy returned, Jason was involved in a computer game on his laptop, one of those popular MMORPG's that was generating more money than any game had a right to.

"Come on now, noob. You cannot interfere with me 1337 skillz!" Jason says, furiously tapping buttons on the laptop.

Rather than disturb his game, Sammy went to the kitchen to make a fresh pot of coffee. Funny enough, listening to Jason brought back listening to James and Charlie at the mansion when they played video games against each other.

She was much for games, but she recognized the need for him to relax in his own way.

When the coffee was done, she poured a mug and went back to check on him and if he was having fun storming the castle.

He notices her come out of the kitchen with the coffee and smiles as he finally kills the Orc Warrior with Human Paladin. He then logs off the game after typing a good night message to his guildmates.

Gorgeous woman in my living room. It's been fun, guys!

He closes down the computer and looks at Sammy.

"Hey, there you are. Ah was just enjoyin' a little PvP action in Land of Battlecraft before relaxin' for the evenin'." Jason tells her.

"How's the coffee?" he asks.

	"Good." Sammy settled down at the end of the sofa. "Don't let me stop you. It's been a difficult couple of days. Relax and enjoy your game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, this was just to pass the time while Ah waited for you. Legion already checked in and he's out on patrol until mornin'." Jason says, setting the laptop down on the coffee table.

"You play any video games, Sam? Ah find myself curious just because Ah think it would be funny to watch you play a game like Halo. Actually, you and Dugan would be really funny to watch playing Goldeneye or Metal Gear." he says.

	"I never have. It wasn't around the house when I was growing up, and by the time I was really aware of them, I was doing other things. Alice and I can't play a game of tiddlywinks without it become competitive. Paintball can be lethal with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
