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.

"Just working out what I'll say if we're asked about them. They handed you to me on a silver platter. I'm not giving you back because you turned out to be more than they expected."

That sounded territorial even to her own ears. Whether it was having her own corner of SHIELD to protect or what, she didn't apologize for the tone. "I expect you have a shopping list for me?"

	"Yes, dear. Make sure that Wildberry Skittles are at the top, middle and bottom of the list." he says, as though he's asking for butter, milk and eggs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If he hadn't been driving, Sammy would've smacked him in the shoulder. Twice. "Me? You're making the list. I get to make sure it's filled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Come on, Gorgeous. You've got free hands. Very cute free hand, I might add." Jason drawled. "I could tell you what's on the list, you could write it down for me, and then I can kiss the pants off you at our next stop as a thank-ya." he smiles. "I see this as a win-win situation, whereas me making the list is only a win for me." he points out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A smile tugged hard at the corners of her mouth. "You're going to drive me crazy." She leaned over to search her bag for her PDA. "This list of yours, Wildberry Skittles at the top and bottom? You're living dangerously with that. All the sugar, it'll give you cavities and make you hyperactive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-02 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm workin' on it, anyway." Jason smiles. "Yes, top and bottom. I'll remove the middle just so you don't worry about my teeth. But you definitely want me alert to make all the wonderful guns that you'll use." he informs her. "So, second on the list..." and Jason started to name off the things he'd need.

	sammyfury 2010-11-03 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"That won't be the only time I'll want you alert," she murmured and began taking down the list. Some things she'd never heard of and had to go with a phonetic spellings. Others made her pause before she listed them. "Is the space you're using now for a lab big enough for this stuff?" she asked when he paused to take a drink of his tea.

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-03 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"Worry not, Gorgeous. I'll make it fit." Jason says. "It would take time we don't have to find a place big enough to house everything I might do, so we'll work with what I've got now. If I absolutely need more, I'll let you know." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm paid to worry, and you're paid to worry me," she quipped. "The new team quarters will have lab space for you too, and I've probably said that already." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes, you have, but you have not mentioned if there will be Sammy-space in this lab, which I think there should be. For those just joining us, 'Sammy-Space' is space where a Sammy belongs in the lab and can watch as things, mainly guns, are put together for her to test out." Jason explains.

"Of course, Sammys are also expected to offer input on what the guns should have, but I warn you now: a gun with a coffee-maker attached is still a long way away. I'm a genius, not a miracle worker." Jason says, continuing to drive.

	"Are you that sure a Sammy belongs in your lab? There will be suggestions on how to build a better coffemaker?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-04 02:55 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I like the idea of a Sammy in the lab. The last time I found one in the lab, I had a good time." Jason smiles. "And all suggestions for a better coffeemaker will be taken into account. I don't think an LMD Sammy would work quite as well, so please say yes so that I don't have to build one." Jason tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-04 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"You'd really build an LMD Sam if I said no?" The idea that he'd want her around in the lab enough to build a robot with her face was a little weird even in their world. Flattering, though. "I'm sure I'll need to check up on you daily. I did promise your grandmother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-04 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"Of course not. I was kiddin'. Besides, an LMD Sammy couldn't hold a candle to the real thing. The bridge of her nose wouldn't crinkle up when she smiled or was deep in thought, either." Tech says. "Although, I could probably program her to drag me out of the lab when you're in a meetin'..." he considers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-04 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"But she wouldn't enjoy it as much as I would. I'd make it worth your while to be lured out of your cave." She smiled out the window. "I'd start with something simple, like an ear nibble, and bring out the big guns if you're difficult." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-04 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, you fight dirty, Sammy. I...could be lured out of my cave for an ear nibble. Maybe more. Especially the big guns. Okay, no LMD Sammy...unless we need you to be in a meetin' while you're lurin' me out of my cave." Jason grins. "Or, while you're on the range testin' your new toys." he winks.

	sammyfury 2010-11-04 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"I should warn you that there probably is one in the labs somewhere already." Sammy opened another memo on her PDA and made a note to herself. His cave needed a futon for relaxing or an unexpected nap. "You're doing it again. Seducing me with talk of new toys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-07 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"First, I seduce you with new toys, then with Wildberry Skittles. Eventually, you'll want the Skittles as much as you want new toys!" Jason grins. "Hm. Maybe I'll give coffee another try while I'm at it. I could always build myself a fancy coffeemaker and...nah. I'll stick to tea. A tea-making machine has promise..." he says, filing that idea away for later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-07 12:59 am UTC (link)
	"That will never happen," Sammy said decisively. "Coffee and things that go bang. They'll always top my list. There are tea brewers on the market, I bet. I've heard rumors." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-07 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"I am the Mad Scientist. You will eventually succumb to my will and genius, Agent Fury. And if neither of those work, liberal applications of kisses, massages and other activities will make it happen." Jason says. "I've seen some of the tea-makers out there, but I think I can build a better one." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You're putting a lot of faith on your will and genius, Mad Scientist." She put the PDA down and took his hand. It was a good feeling, one she was going to enjoy for as long as it lasted. If he decided that the name and the baggage she carried with her was too much to handle, she'd still have these few days with a nice guy.

"Just in case you forget while you're building a better tea maker, I'll put those liberal applications on your calendar."

"My will and genius have served me well. In fact, they got a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent into bed with me, so I'm gonna keep puttin' my faith in 'em until they fail me." Jason teases.

"Oh, before you say it, my ribs helped, too." he grins as she takes his hand. He liked the idea of being more than friends with Sammy; he just hoped that between her issues and his family, that they'd actually have a chance to work things out.

"Hey, good idea. If you set the time and place, I'll know when you're available and bring you coffee-flavored candy. Maybe even some special coffee to keep you awake for those times." he says.

	He managed so well to make her feel spoiled with attention. She was getting used to it. "I won't turn away coffee, but I'd really like the company. Is an hour a day too much, do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jason shakes his head. "It's not too much."

He doesn't feel it's enough, personally, but he will take whatever he can get. They were doing this on her time and within her comfort-level. He would need to make the most of that hour whenever he had it.

"So, for that hour, do you want to play a board game or something? I'd like to see how many guns you spell out in Scrabble, for instance. I've been curious since the idea came to mind a couple of days ago." he grins.

"Or Battleship. I don't think you can sink my battleship." he taunts.

	"I can spell them all in Scrabble tiles," she said loftily. "But I hardly see how you'll be able to play when I'm forced to handcuff you to get you out of your lab long enough for a proper game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
