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.

	"New York has some authentic restaurants, but you have to get out into the boroughs for it. But you're right, to get a real flavor for the cuisine it's more fun to bum around a foreign country for a while." "I've heard of Panda Express, but I never tried it. For Asian food, I'd take Tokyo or Singapore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yep, those two are on my List of Places to See Before My Eyesight Fails Me. Panda Express, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut are all of the foreign culture I've ever really had." Jason laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'll make it. Stick with S.H.I.E.L.D. long enough, you'll go places that aren't even on the map. Maybe the team will bond enough to take group down time in other places." She kind of doubted it, but it could happen. They were all so different. "I'll clean up if you'd like to check on your grandma." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I'm gonna take you up on that. Need to run this idea past her and see what she says." Jason tells her, finishing the rest of his food. After washing his hands and such, he leans over and gives Sammy a quick kiss on the cheek in thank you for taking care of the clean-up, then heads off to speak to Evelyn.

	She smiled as he left the room. It was the simple gestures, like a cheek kiss, that got to her. She should be harder than that, but it slipped right through. Cleaning up didn't take long. She rinsed dishes for the dishwasher, put away the leftovers, and started the coffeemaker. When Jason returns, he'll find her making notes on her PDA at the kitchen table.

Jason returns and sits down across from Sam, a smile on his face.

"You were right. I ran the idea past her and Gran says that she knows someone who would be able to help her, maybe even live-in for a decent price. She said that Jess had also tried to float the idea past her and asked if we'd be talkin'. I told her no, but that I agreed with Jess' suggestion.

I think Gran dislikes bein' thought of as incapable of takin' care of herself after all these years, so I tried to dispel the notion. It'll take work, but I think she's on board." Jason says.

"What are you workin' on, Gorgeous?" he asks.

Sammy stopped making notes and sat back to listen as he told her the outcome of his talk with Mrs. Landon.

"She's a smart lady. Jake's baby will have a lot to do with the choices she'll make."

She looked down at the PDA when he asked. "Checking my calendar and making notes for my report when I get back. I have two papers to finish by the end of the semester and a meeting with my adviser. There are some emails coming through from work that will need attention when we get back."

	"Yeah. Gran just told me that Jess is namin' the baby Hunter. Hunter Uriah Landon. Uriah was my father's name. Jess thought it would be a nice touch." Jason says simply. Rather that going into his personal feelings on the matter, he moved on with the topic. "Everything okay back on the front?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... sammyfury 2010-10-03 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Everything is as okay as it can be. I'm always surprised when the agency can get along without me." Her tone made it clear she was kidding. "It'll take me months to work off this vacation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They'll be jealous, you mean. We don't have grandmothers who cook." She brought up an image on her PDA and handed it to him. "One of the possibilities for a downtime team location. The outside looks fine, but the inside will need some work. The plus is that it's in the Upper Westside close to Central Park." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, that's a pretty sweet place there. I like it." Jason says. "Do they have bookstores around that area, too? And how much inside work are we talkin'?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They have everything. I'd go so far to say that the wiring and plumbing are good, the place would be wired for high tech, but it won't have been...improved, if you get what I mean. They'd clean up what was there instead of renovating anything. But that gives everyone who wants to participate a chance to renovate their personal space. The bottom floor of this one is a small corner market that also fronts as the building's security. The place was used as a safe house."

	"Okay, so it's a fixer-upper of sorts. That's not much an issue. We'll make it work." Jason says. "So, will there be other agents besides the team in this building? If so, I'll account for their presence during security measures." Jason says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I am hoping there won't be and the head office will accept my reasoning for a special ops team to have their own space. Most agents rotate off the helicarrier so they do have their own apartments. We're stationed on the helicarrier and we're all young enough to not already have a place. Except Aleks might, but I'm leaving open the option that he'll like a place with the team as well."

She paged through some pictures of other buildings so he could see the options she'd been given. "If I'm told that other agents may use the free space, I'll have to deal with it."

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... thisismyweapon 2010-10-04 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"What if the free space is used for weapons storage and testing? It could limit the amount of available space, seein' as how we all need to train to keep our edge and be ready to move at moment's notice." Jason says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Basement will have plenty of room, hopefully, so you can have a lab close at hand. It'll ultimately be based on how big of a building we're going to be allowed. Some of these have tenants and businesses already in place. I'm looking for something small and easily defended if necessary. Even if there's a penthouse apartment, that can easily become common area."

She ran through the few pictures and turned the PDA off. "I could talk all night about it, but I think for our last evening we should probably do something social-like. A movie? Another swim?"

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... thisismyweapon 2010-10-04 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"You and I have yet to make it through a movie, you know." he chuckles. "But I'd like to take the sight of you in a swimsuit back to work with me more...and it's getting dark, too. Late night swimmin' is fun." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... sammyfury 2010-10-04 03:53 am UTC (link)
	She grinned. "I may be sorry I suggested it later, but let's take one more quick dip in the water. Just to cool off and look at the stars." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Meet you back here in five minutes?" he asks with a grin of his own. For a girl who didn't come across as such, Sammy somehow managed to bring out his playful side all the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Five minutes," she agreed and ran for the stairs. She'd been swimming in the middle of the night before now. The Avengers pool was available twenty four hours. She'd never swam in a pond in the middle of the night and the experience beckoned to her to enjoy it before they returned to the real world tomorrow.

She was back down in her suit, Glock, sneakers, and a towel grabbed from the bathroom. A big shirt was tossed over her shoulder.

	Jason returns around the same time in swim trunks and a "What are yoooooooou doing?" tee shirt. He wears white tennis shoes and carries a green beach towel. "Let's go." he grins, opening the door for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your ribs aren't bothering you so much, are they?" she asked as she passed him. "You won't need any help to rebandage tonight." And that was a shame to her mind. She was enjoying looking after him. Bossing him around. The amused look on his face when she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They've gotten a lot better, but maybe you can check and make sure for me? Just one last time." Jason says. He liked it when she fussed over him. It made him feel good to know that someone cared enough to do it. "That swimsuit was a great idea. I really like how it looks on you, Sam." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... sammyfury 2010-10-04 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	"You're kissing up to the boss again," she teased. "I'm shameless enough to appreciate it. Thank you. And yes, I'm going to check your ribs again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
