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.

	"Ah have, too. This is the most relaxation Ah've had in awhile, myself. Spent a lot of time working on things, worrying and generally makin' sure that all my T's are crossed and I's are dotted." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah wouldn't let you burn, Sammy. Ah'd at least get some suntan lotion on you while you bake, and remind you to turn over at random intervals." Jason says. "And there would be an umbrella for shade." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled at him and turned off the fire under the omelet. Cheese was sprinkled over it to melt while she hunted for plates. "I could make a case for a cabin in the mountains. Quiet, cool, plenty of time to finalize those last two term papers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah've never really been to the mountains or a cabin, either. Don't know anyone 'round here that has a cabin. Ah always think of syrup when Ah think of log cabins." Jason says. The scent of the omelet makes his stomach rumble a little. "That looks mighty good there, Sammy. You sure you aren't better at cookin' than you let on?" he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy was pleased she'd managed to get this right and that he seemed genuinely appreciative. "I'm terrible at cooking, but I follow instructions very well. One of my nannies taught to make it just this way and I only change it when there are different vegetables or meat to put in it."

She found plates and set them next to the stove. "The mountains are nice, especially in the winter. Have you ever tried skiing?"

"One would think that with a fabulous cook like my Gran around, Ah might have learned somethin' about cookin'. Makin' bacon is my sole culinary ability; Jake picked up on it better than Ah did." Jason chuckles.

He laughs completely when Sammy suggests skiing.

"No, Ah haven't. Ah think Ah'd mess myself up pretty bad if Ah did." he says, bringing over bacon their plates.

	"You never know until you try it." She took a piece of cooled bacon and bit into it. "It works up an appetite for sitting in the cabin in front of a fire and drinking hot chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now drinkin' hot cocoa is a program Ah wholly endorse. But Ah think Ah'm much more of snowboarder, if Ah had to choose. It just looks so cool, no pun intended." Jason says. "Where's your favorite place to ski?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alice and I got to ski Aspen, Vail and Tahoe when we growing up, but my favorite place is the Aosta Valley in the Italian Alps. Mom took me there a few times. I keep meaning to go back but I never seem to manage it." She handed him a plate. "You want half or are you really hungry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Few Hours Later thisismyweapon 2010-09-26 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"Half will do just fine, pretty lady. Between that and the bacon, we should be good." Jason says. "Ah've heard of Aspen--who hasn't, really-- but the others, not so much. Ah'm definitely going to have to start gettin' out more." he admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy used the turner to cut the omelet across the middle and serve it to Jason.

"My parents tried hard, but family vacations with both of them weren't going to happen, so Mom tried to take me to a lot of different places. When I got to be older, Alice came with us so I'd have somebody to giggle with. We skied, snorkeled, zip lined, hiked, rode camels, ate all kinds of local foods together all over the world. Mom took us on safaris, and to high tea at the Ritz in London. Incidentally, high tea was a lot scarier than boiled tea in the bush."

Jason nods as Sam explains her vacations to him, and recalls some of his own.

"Grandpa used to take Jake and Ah fishin' every Sunday when we first came to live with them. Sometimes, we'd mix in a little huntin' or just some shootin' practice. After he died, most of our energy went into helpin' Gran, but that pond was my salvation. Ah could just go there when Ah needed some time away that Ah didn't want to spend in the lab." he says, taking a bit of his omelet.

"Gran wasn't able to take us on vacations, really, but she did impress upon us that we know whee we come from. We went to Civil War and World War II museums when we could. She preferred that we didn't go to Mardi Gras, but everyone has to experience that at least once, right?" he asks, chuckling. His own experience wasn't as wild that of others, but it was still a good time.

"Once we started makin' all that money, Ah promised myself Ah'd go see a little bit more of the world every year. Someday, Ah'll have to check out one of those California beaches and see if they're as good as people say." he says, enjoying a piece of bacon.

	"I've never been to Mardi Gras." Sammy served herself, got some bacon, and sat down. "What did you see last year? Any place exciting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, Ah saw that part of Greece we talked about again, and some of Florida. This year isn't over yet, so there's a chance Ah might still get out there and do somethin'. Not sure, though." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, if it doesn't happen this year, there's always next year. Ah'll just have to work twice as hard to meet my goal. But Ah will meet my goal because Ah always do." he grins. "Does business pick up for the team around the holidays? And...do you like egg nog?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not so much for S.H.I.E.L.D. unless something is brewing, but on the diplomatic side it does. SHIELD provides security to diplomats and other persons of interest as a neutral third party. It's the parties, balls, social functions, that sort of thing. Mom and Dad get invitations to a lot of it because they're public figures. I'm invited to some."

She paused to look at him with a slight smirk before she dipped her bacon in her coffee. "Eggnog is all right, but I drink it without the alcohol."

"Oh, well that's good. Will you...be needing a companion to any of these events? Ah mean, Ah'm sure your dad probably has a squad of agents dedicated to such an endeavor already. But if you find that all of them are sick or unable to go or you'd simply like a change of pace, Ah might be able to suggest someone you could pass an evening with." he says.

"Alcohol is the only thing that makes that stuff tolerable, if Ah choose to drink it. Ah prefer hot apple cider." he says.

	"Alcohol and temporal power do not mix. Three or more equal tattoo. It's a proven equation." She nodded solemnly before smiling. "Are you asking me out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Ah may have to see if Ah can get drunk enough to want a tattoo, just to see if your equation works elsewhere." Jason chuckles.

However, his expression becomes solemn at her second question.

"Sammy Fury, Ah would like to take you out on a proper date when we return to New York. If you find that date agreeable, Ah would like to accompany you to one of these events that you get invited to around the holidays." Jason says.

"Will you let me call upon you?" he asks.

	She pretended to give it some thought. "Well, I've slept in your bed, viewed your tattoos, and called you babe. I believe I would be agreeable to you calling on me when we return to New York." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, to be completely fair...we were in close proximity with the first two times and...you were pretending to be my girl for my safety. Ah had to ask so that we both know this is a real date. Now, since we'll be on your home turf, Ah can strong arm the locals into respectin' you and givin' us our space...though New York is a far cry from Bon Temps." Jason says, considering a few things he'll need for their date, besides reservations to a restaurant.

"Ah may need to bring a weapon or two to ensure Ah am prepared to defend your honor when the first challenge appears." Jason says.

	"I don't think anybody is going to besmirch my honor, not like ol' Stevie Ray, but I'm definitely interested in which weapons you'll bring along." A date would be fun. She hadn't had a date in a long time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Simply because the situation calls for it...Ah think Ah will develop a new line of weapons /just/ for dates. Items that can be carried on one's person that aren't so obvious, but ready for use at all times.

And Ah'll even make a couple for you as well. Then you'll have a selection to go with your dress and earrings, too." Jason says, this idea suddenly taking hold in his mind. Why hadn't he thought of this before? There might be a whole market for this sort of thing, waiting to be tapped!

"You, by the way, are a genius." Jason smiles brightly at Sammy.
