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.

	Jason continued kissing her fingers, noticing the warmth and suppressing a smile. "The way I say...what?" he asks, his voice of Southern drawl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know that your ego needs feeding." She smiled at him and turned her head to look out of the passenger window. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who said anythin' about my ego? I wanna know so I can keep sayin' it and make your skin get all warm." Jason says. "Don't tempt me to pull this thing over and kiss all the way up your arm until you tell me. I will do this, Sammy Fury." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-08 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"Tempting, very tempting." Sammy looked back at him to find him smiling. He had a good smile. It was genuine and warm. "You really don't know? You say them so effortlessly and while the words are out there, I feel special." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you mean when I talk about how your hand feels in mine...or how I call your baby? Or Gorgeous?" he asks, watching the road ahead. "I like knowin' what your thinkin', but I also like the surprises you come up with." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-08 05:21 am UTC (link)
	"That's my middle name, Surprise." She pulled his hand to her lap and folded both of hers around it. "I'm looking forward to the next few months of 'baby' and 'Gorgeous'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-08 02:18 pm UTC (link)
	"You better be lookin' forward to it. You're goin' to hear a lot of it." Jason says, enjoying the feel of her hands around his. She made the simplest of touches feel like a treasure. "When we get back, we should actually try to watch a movie together instead of fallin' asleep on it." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-08 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	"It'll never happen. I haven't managed to finish a movie since I started college. If I'm not studying through it, I fall asleep before it's over," she said. "But I'm willing to give it a try. There's no downside. If I can't stay awake, I'll still have a comfy pillow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-09 04:15 am UTC (link)
	"We're gonna have to fix that, the movie bit. I mean, I think I know a secret to help you with that, but I'll keep my magic ready for a time such as it is necessary." Jason grins. "Besides, now that my ribs are better, I can find other ways to keep you from fallin' asleep. Real annoyin' ones, like kissin' your nose or somethin'." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-09 05:00 am UTC (link)
	"I hear the secret is drinking less coffee and making time to sleep more." The idea of 'or somethin' made her intensely curious what his genius brain could plot, and a very real concern that it would completely take her in. Maybe a guy like Walker would have been safer, but she'd have been bored. Brains with a side of honeyed accent seemed again to be her type. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-10 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"Yep, that is one way to do it, Gorgeous. But since we know that gettin' you to give up coffee is like askin' anyone to stop breathin', we'll just have to come up with an alternate solution, won't we?" he asks. "Though, you are very cute when you sleep...and aren't kickin' or hoggin' the pillows." he adds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-10 02:44 am UTC (link)
	"I don't kick!" Her indignant tone of voice didn't translate to a harsh grip on his hand. If anything, it softened as she slowly ran her fingertips over the calluses on his palm. "Pillows are only hogged when someone is taking them. There's a reason my bed has four of them. So I don't have to fight my dreams to keep one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The bruise on my leg says different, darlin'. I think you were havin' a dream about beatin' up Walker or somethin'." he laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then maybe you were taking liberties and I naturally protected myself." She grinned. "Teach you to muscle in on my pillow swiping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Oh, I was a perfect gentleman all night, Miss Fury. I do not have proof of this, but I was." Jason assures her.

"And it's not muscling in if they're my pillows, but fret not. When next we share a bed, I shall have six pillows. Five for you and one for me. Then we shall see if you and Manifest Pillow Destiny conquer the bed from sheet to silken sheet." Jason promises.

	"I have no doubt that you were," Sammy assured him. "After all, your grandma was right across the hall." "What's more likely is that you'll be working and I'll fall asleep waiting for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-10 05:42 am UTC (link)
	"Would you really wait for me to come to bed?" he asks, a little surprised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-10 05:49 am UTC (link)
	"No, I'd probably fall asleep without you." She squeezed his hand. "With all the pillows." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-11 12:30 am UTC (link)
	"So I'd have to come to bed, sneak up on you, and get you to...Let My Pillows Go!" Jason sings in a deep bass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-11 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Sammy laughed. "Not a smart idea to sneak up on an armed woman, but I'll find interesting things to do in the ninety seconds it'll take to tie you down and retake the pillows." "You mentioned before that you might have some ideas about time manipulation. Was that you thinking out loud or do you have some ideas?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I have some preliminary ideas on determinin' if all you can do is stop time as well as maybe helpin' to increase the amount of time you can pause for and how big an area...but I need my lab to work 'em up." Jason says.

"If you could slow down or speed up time in addition to what you do now...it would make you even tougher to handle than you are now, I bet." Jason says.

	sammyfury 2010-11-11 02:38 am UTC (link)
	"The idea of manipulating time sounds good, but it also scares the unholy crap out of me," she said bluntly. "Every time I stop it, some part of my brain wonders what'll happen if I can't get out of it. Mom and Dad had me tested, both by SHIELD doctors and ...uh, private consultants. So far there are more questions than answers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-11 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"Somehow, I always thought stoppin' time would be way harder than than just slowin' it down or speedin' it up." he says. "Maybe that's what's stoppin' you, the fear part of things." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-11 04:42 am UTC (link)
	"Possibly," Sammy said. "There have been a few times when I didn't seem to have limitations." Like during the times she'd been brainwashed. "I don't know that I want /more/. There are other questions I'd rather have answers to, like if I can pass this on to my children, or how it affects my aging." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-11 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Those are valid questions, for certain, Gorgeous. Have you ever had any ill effects come from your powers at all when you use 'em?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
