Sammy was, quite possibly for the first time in months, awake early in a good mood. Coffee was an enhancement rather than a crutch this morning. Her first successful dinner with Qamar had brought up something she hadn't paid much attention to over the summer. She was registered for the fall semester but she hadn't finalized her schedule.

It had to be done. To that end, she was at her favorite coffee shop with her laptop to enjoy the morning and double check her schedule. Funny enough, she was looking forward to going back. The summer off had been just what she needed to give her a boost and refocus her goals.

Just as she asked the waitress for another cup and a second muffin, her cell phone vibrated in pocket. The display was an unfamiliar number. Ordinarily she would have ignored it, but it could be from Mikel at a different number.

She waited for the waitress to leave before answering. "Hello?"

	"It was just under a year," Therese answered. She had been expecting questions and had answers prepared. Mikel had given her a good idea of what his sister was like. "Just long enough to get bored of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's not long. How did you meet Mikel?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 09:41 am UTC (link)
	"I get bored rather easily," she admitted. "He was working a contract for the government and had some paperwork problems." It was close enough to be the truth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy's expression brightened. Paperwork always left a trail. "You like this work better? It is a big team?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It doesn't get dull, if that's what you mean by like." She sipped her coffee. "We have ten or eleven or so right now. We're slowly getting bigger, but we're not rushing it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be what I meant. The idea of a desk job makes my skin itch. Spending time in a classroom is just as bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:02 am UTC (link)
	"But at least time in a classroom is working toward a goal. Time behind a desk really isn't like that," Therese pointed out. "There's something to work toward when you're taking classes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:15 am UTC (link)
	"I'm impatient to get to the Academy and I can't apply for full time there until I get my degree." She grinned at Therese. "Mom tells me it's an inherited trait. Any chance Mikel has the impatient gene too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:16 am UTC (link)
	Therese smiled a little. "He does. He doesn't like to wait for something, but in the past year that I've known him, he's getting better about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:21 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe it's because of you," Sammy suggested. "A balancing influence, maybe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:23 am UTC (link)
	Therese laughed. "I doubt it. I'm pretty impatient myself. I think it's all him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:25 am UTC (link)
	"Well, he's getting older. That could be it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:26 am UTC (link)
	Therese smiled. "That could very well be it. I hear age can do that to a person." She sipped her coffee some more. "How's Qamar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:32 am UTC (link)
	Her cup of coffee became the most interesting thing in the world at that moment. Sammy looked down into the murky liquid when she felt her face grow a little warm. "He's fine. Busy with school." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:33 am UTC (link)
	"So what's up with you two? Are you dating, or is this a casual thing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:41 am UTC (link)
	She continued to investigate her coffee for signs of life. "Not a lot of guys want to date Col. Fury's little girl and her Glock. Qamar seems to be willing to date Sam Fury. And her Glock. I like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:42 am UTC (link)
	So it wasn't serious and not worth using the guy against her. "I wish you the best of luck with that. He seems like a really nice guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:48 am UTC (link)
	"He is." Sammy lifted her face to look at Therese. "Mikel gets any bright idea to pull a Big Brother act, and I'll have to shoot him in the leg." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:49 am UTC (link)
	Therese blinked and then chuckled. "I'll pass it on. I rather like him unventilated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 10:55 am UTC (link)
	"It's just the leg. It'll heal." She half smiled. "Though I'm sure Qamar can handle it. He told Dad he was being paranoid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-04 10:59 am UTC (link)
	"Still, I'd like him unventilated." She drained the last of her coffee. "I can understand being paranoid when it comes to someone like your father. He knows everything that's going on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-04 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	"You know Mikel better than I do. What are the chances that he'll come around and see Dad? Maybe have dinner with us like a family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"My best guess? Probably zero to none right now. Who knows what the future will hold." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 05:14 am UTC (link)
	"A precog, but I don't know any." She smiled. "Mikel will get tired of poking fun at me for wanting to take over S.H.I.E.L.D. and he'll disappear again. This will all have been a dream. Except for the postcard. I was serious when I told him to send me one. I haven't got it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 05:16 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know any either," she said. "I don't think that will happen. He talks about you once and awhile. I don't think he'll just disappear now." Oh yes Mikel talked about his sister. Mostly how she's key to his plans. "He sent one, but international mail is horribly slow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
