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.

"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)

	"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.

	"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)

	sammyfury 2010-11-11 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	"When it first appeared, I had some nausea and dizziness, but nothing like that since. If I overuse, I pass out for about a day. I'd like to know if I'm going to look eighty when I'm forty because if that happens, I need to step up and do more living now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"Well, maybe if we figure out more of what you can do, we can answer those other questions." Jason says. "No one else in your family has this ability or anythin' like it?" he asks, following a line of thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-13 04:42 am UTC (link)
	Sammy shook her head. "No, no one that I know about. I have a cousin in SHIELD, but Dad's kept us separate from them. It's safer for them. If the cousin or his family had any sort of ability, we'd know about it. I'm not a mutant, just a freak of nature. No way to track a gene back through the bloodlines."

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 08:03 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, you are not a freak. It just means we gotta work a little bit harder to find the answers we're lookin' for. We're gonna learn about your powers and figure out the long-term effects." Jason says, squeezing her hands. "Everythin' is gonna work itself out in time, Gorgeous." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-13 08:11 am UTC (link)
	"Providing we can make it back to New York in one piece," she said with a smile, squeezing his hand in return. "Am I another puzzle that you need to figure out how to work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 08:20 am UTC (link)
	"Yep, but not the way you're thinkin', baby. Definitely not the way you're thinkin'." he smirks. "And of course we'll get back to New York in one piece. Are you castin' aspersions on my drivin'?" he asks, mock-indignation coloring his tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-13 08:26 am UTC (link)
	"But you're definitely interested in taking me apart to see how I work," she teased. "Just put me back together with all the right parts in the right places." "What, me cast aspersions? With all these truckers on the road? You doing okay behind the wheel? Don't tire yourself out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 08:32 am UTC (link)
	"I'll make sure I do just that, after I study every part so that there's no chance of misplacin' somethin'." Jason says. "But you can take over after our next stop. I would like a nap before we get to Leavenworth. Prisons are drainn' and I ain't even been in one." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-13 08:41 am UTC (link)
	"There's still time to change your mind," she reminded him in a voice gone soft with understanding. "You don't have to do this now. He's not going anywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 08:47 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I do. Otherwise, it's gonna eat at me and keep me from enjoyin' what's right in front of me. I don't want that, so I'm gonna get this out of the way." Jason says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-13 08:56 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Sammy backed off the subject. If he was determined to do it, at least she was there for backup. "Afterward we'll find a play to spend the night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 09:07 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds good. My ribs are better, so I can take a chair or couch if all the pillows are belong to Sammy." he says, flashing that boyish grin again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-11-13 09:24 am UTC (link)
	She liked that grin. It was mischievous. "Damn right all the pillows belong to me, but you will sleep in a bed, babe. Your ribs need it. I'll get connecting rooms, but don't blame me if I sleep walk looking for just one more pillow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thisismyweapon 2010-11-13 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Then I shall feel a great swell of pity for the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who comes to my room, seekin' to steal a pillow that didn't come to her willingly." Jason says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
