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?"

	"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)

	"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)

"I have a good friend who has little sister. They're both friends, really." Sammy rubbed her forehead. "They fuss and argue a lot, call each other silly names, but you know by watching them that this is what the brother/sister relationship is supposed to be. Crazy pranks and sabotaged dates, and knowing somebody is always on your side no matter what. Growing up was good with just me, Mom and Dad, but a part of me couldn't help being jealous of what Misha and Anya have."

	"It seems like it would be natural thing to want something like that when you grew up knowing you had a brother but didn't know him." Therese shrugged. She didn't know how siblings were supposed to act. She was an only child. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Right. Brother's girlfriend does not need to hear about Sammy's issues. "So what's next? You can tell me a good lie if you can't tell me the truth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 06:12 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not sure. Have to see what's in the works." Oh if you only knew. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 06:23 am UTC (link)
	She nods. "Another coffee?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 06:24 am UTC (link)
	"Mikel probably has things lined up and he just hasn't told us yet. It's usually how it is. Sure. Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That is Nick Fury behavior, but I wouldn't point it out to him. Well, I would, but you probably shouldn't." Sammy caught the eye of a passing waitress and requested refills. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 06:47 am UTC (link)
	Therese smiled and nodded. "Good advice. I will keep it in mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 07:16 am UTC (link)
	"Have any advice for me? You've known him longer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 07:35 am UTC (link)
	Therese thought about it for a few moments. "He's stubborn and doesn't like to be pushed. If he doesn't want to do something, there's very little chance of getting him to change his mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 07:43 am UTC (link)
	In other words, Mikel was just like Dad, and like Sammy. "Thanks. I'll keep it in mind. Would you mind taking a walk through the children's section? I want to pick up a book." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 07:46 am UTC (link)
	"Not at all," she replied. "I don't have to really be anywhere for quite awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 07:55 am UTC (link)
	"Qamar and I had dinner the other night and talked about the things that influenced us as kids, like Sesame Street. I want to see if they have my favorite read-to-me book. I think he'll get a kick out of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 07:58 am UTC (link)
	She smiled. "He probably will. He seems like the type who would." She giggled a bit. "I couldn't imagine doing something like that with Mikel. He's always so serious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 08:06 am UTC (link)
	"I guess we're just young and silly," Sammy said, the smile not reaching her eyes. "We're still getting to know each other. You and Mikel must have passed that point already." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 08:08 am UTC (link)
	"That's always an ongoing process," she said. Mikel kept to himself and played things close to the chest. The only person who really knew Mikel was Mikel. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Otherwise it would get boring, wouldn't it?" Sammy had no personal frame of reference. She had her parents as an example, and they seemed to find the old and the new in each other all the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 08:35 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose so. But how much can we really know another person without being able to get in their heads?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-05 09:10 am UTC (link)
	"Now I have the mental image of trying to get into somebody's head with an axe. One too many horror movies, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-05 09:12 am UTC (link)
	Therese chuckled. "I think so." (Reply to this)(Parent)
