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.

	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)

	"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)

	"Oh, kissin' on the boss--I mean, kissin' up to the boss--is a favorite pastime of mine." Jason smirks, following her out the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really boss-like behavior, I know." She paused at the front step to wait. He had the keys. The air was still warm enough not to need a shirt just yet. She'd be grateful for it once she was wet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, you don't have to be the boss for another twelve hours. I just wanna hang out with Sam for awhile." he says, walking out to the car and opening her door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... sammyfury 2010-10-05 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Then you don't have to kiss up for another twelve hours." She patted his cheek and planted a kiss on his mouth. "You're still the tech genius so maybe I should be the one kissing up." With that, she got into the passenger seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason smiles and sighs as she gets into the passenger's seat. Sam is an amazing woman. He gets into the driver's seat and minutes later, they are back at the pond again. He gets out to open her door for her. "So...are you gonna cheat this time if we try to see who can jump in the water first?" he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Naw. We both know I'll win. I think we can do this together." She took his hand. "Or I'll just push you in. But I can't. Those darn ribs of yours." She slid out of the car and looked up. "It's really nice here at night. Beautiful even." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... thisismyweapon 2010-10-05 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	Jason, of course, is looking at Sam. "Yeah, it is." Then he looks up. "Oh, the sky's nice, too." he says absently. "Yeah, let's go together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was a lot different from their afternoon excursion. Being there at night made it seem clandestine in some way, like sneaking downstairs to see if Santa made it down the chimney after she'd watched him on the helicarrier having a smoke with Dad while agents watered the reindeer a few hours before.

"The only thing missing is...actually, nothing is missing. This is perfect." She squeezed his hand. "C'mon, lab boy. We're overdue for a cooling off."

	"This way, my lady." Jason grins as he kicks off his shoes and leads her toward the water. "This is a great night." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At the dock, Sammy let go long enough to sit down on the edge and dangle her feet in. She wasn't ready yet to lose the cool night air and the sensation of the breeze on her skin. "I'm a little envious of you," she said quietly. "Growing up here, a real family life. At least until Jake got you mixed up in the mob. A part of me would love having all this."

"It had its moments, Sammy, but...there's a lot to be said for seein' most of the world before you're twenty. I'm twenty-four now and there's just so much I can't even begin to fathom. Sometimes, I think I've fallen behind all of my friends from school.

Every time I come home, someone's gettin' married, divorced or havin' another baby." Jason says, sitting down to kick his feet in the water.

"There's so much I've never done that most people my age have done in spades by now. I almost think I'm a Never-Bloomer." he chuckles.

	"You can't say that now," she said, bumping his shoulder with hers. "You live on a helicarrier. You play with equipment worth more than some third world economies. Married, divorced or having another baby, that's a lot. But it's not as much as you've accomplished so far." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jason smiles at Sammy brightly. "You sure know how to make a guy feel good. I never really thought of all the stuff I've done in relation to the stuff I haven't.

I've lived an adventure myself...even if it wasn't a wholesome one." Jason agrees.

"The other stuff will come someday, or it won't. But I do have a life I can tell my kids about someday, too." he nods.

"Thanks, Sammy." he says, leaning over to kiss her shoulder.

	"It's only the truth. Sometimes we have to see ourselves through someone else's eyes to know what we've accomplished, good or bad." She smiled at him. "You're welcome. Now stop being so cute. I'm a sucker for cute. And extra clips." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... thisismyweapon 2010-10-06 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"Cute, coffee and extra clips." Jason amends, looking up at the sky. Suddenly, he points upward to get Sammy's attention. If she follows his finger, she'll see his finger moving across the sky, following the path of a star that moves across the sky. "Look, a satellite." he says, no small amount of awe in his voice.

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... sammyfury 2010-10-06 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Sammy leaned in to see what he was pointing at. "Sure it's not a space ship?" she asked, only teasing a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: A Little Bit Later.... thisismyweapon 2010-10-06 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"Don't joke about spaceships, Sammy. We could wake up on one at anytime and be asked to procreate for the good of some empire we've never seen." Jason shudders, remembering the recent issue with the Empress. After a moment, he chuckled a little. "I should sign up for undercover work." he drawls. "I did a fair job with Reyja, even if I was drugged at the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"By telling her how your girlfriend would hurt you both when she found you?" She laughed and continued to lean against him. "Well, if I /were/ your girlfriend, I wouldn't have been pleased. I don't share well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
