Dinner and Secrets
After a cold shower (necessary between the hot day and the hot Iason), and a short nap (stress and the lack of sleep for a couple of weeks), Sammy was at her parents' front door ready for dinner and discussions about the past and the future.

	Nick was in his home office finishing up a few things he had been working on earlier in the day. Valentina was taking care of dinner and Sammy was due here any minute. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dinner would be take out. As a family, they didn't cook - they reheated. Her parents were too busy for anything else, and while Sammy could follow a recipe and make edible things, there was no reason to while she lived at the Avengers mansion. She let herself in and went to poke her head into Dad's office first. "Hey Dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey sweetheart," he said and smiled at her. He always had a smile for her. "I'll be done in a second. How was yer week?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She leaned against the door jamb. Dad's office was sacred and only entered on invitation or by stealth. Since he'd seen her, she had to do it the hard way.

"The best thing about the week is that it's over. Finals are done. I'm pretty sure I passed. Don't know if you know yet, but another Eternal showed up. He wants to join the Avengers. How come nobody ever shows up and wants to join SHIELD?"

	"Take a load off yer feet while I finish up here," he said. That was his idea of an invitation. "Because no one wants to deal with yer ol' man. That's why they don't join S.H.I.E.L.D." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy went in and plopped herself down in a chair. "You're not so bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I believe Uncle Logan when he says you're a bastard, but coming from him it's a compliment." She grinned at him. "And Mom loves you, so you can't be all that bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All Furys are bastards," he told her. "Yer Ma should've told ya that by now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Including me and Mikel?" The words were out of her mouth before she could stop them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 04:49 am UTC (link)
	The light joking air disappeared and Nick went quiet. "Somethin' like that," he finally said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 04:55 am UTC (link)
	"Why's he here now? Nothing for twenty years, and he sits down in my booth like we're actually related to each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Nick looked at his daughter. "One, ya are related t' him whether ya want it or not. Two, do I look like a friggin' telepath? I dunno what's goin' through his head." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 06:36 am UTC (link)
	Sammy froze in her seat at her father's tone of voice. Mikel showing up like he did was a Major Event in her life. Dad was still the King of SHIELD. All she wanted was him to explain it so everything made sense. "I guess so," she said finally. "I'll check on dinner and say hi to Mom. How much longer do you think you'll be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick sighed. "Look, I dunno why yer brother picked now t' show up an' I dunno what he wants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 06:46 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Will you tell me why the two of you have been fighting all these years?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 06:49 am UTC (link)
	"We ain't fightin'. We're just not talkin' to each other. Too damn hardheaded and stubborn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	"He said he wanted to get to know me now. That's okay with you?" Loyalty to Dad was strong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course it is. He is yer brother an' you should get t' know him a bit." Nick wasn't sure what Mikel wanted, but he'd keep a close eye on his daughter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay." She could see he wasn't crazy about the idea, but if he had no objection, she could make up her own mind about Mikel. "He said he's a mercenary now. Gave me his telephone number. Do you want it?" Maybe a baby step could become a family step. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	She was a big girl now and could make up her own mind about things, but it didn't mean he wouldn't keep an eye on things. "An' if I called him, that number would be disconnected in two seconds. If he wants me t' have it, he'll give it to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	She suddenly grinned at him. "I'm still out for your chair, you know. It will be mine one day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Nick smiled. "I know, honey. I'll keep it warm until yer ready for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-05-23 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	With the serious mood broken and Dad looking more like Dad and less like Col. Fury, she relaxed in the chair. "Did Uncle Steve tell you I managed to hold a time out for nearly ninety seconds? Pretty soon I could take up a career as an assassin if I wanted it. Or not. He mentioned something about hostage negotiation as a possible application of my ability." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-05-23 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"He told me," Nick said. "An' he told me about possible uses." Nick frowned at the mention of her being an assassin. His little girl was better than a hired killer. "Honey, you don't need t' be killin' for money. Yer capable of much more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
