Dinner and Recon (Friday night)
Tessa stood outside Big Nick's Burger and Pizza Joint on Broadway and 77th. She was fifteen minutes early because she didn't want to be late and make Mikhail think she wasn't going to show. The whole point was to keep him interested and she could only do that by being around.

She smoothed her blouse and wondered if she looked okay. She was dressed in a pair of boots, a blouse and a pair of jeans. From the way Mikhail had described the place, she didn't think that anything formal would be appropriate, but she was so unsure of this dating stuff.

The program didn't exactly foster any dating environment, not that this was a date. People like her didn't go on dates, they went on missions. Nicholas made it a point to say it was a mission and not a date.

Nicholas was not happy with her going out with Mikhail and getting close to him, even if it were for the good of the mission. Then again, Nicholas was hardly ever happy. The guy was created cranky.

She looked at her watch. Five more minutes. She watched the traffic and people as she waited.

	Tessa was humming as she entered the small apartment and shut the door behind her. It had been a nice evening and the company had been most enjoyable, even if he was a mission. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The glower on his face deepened when he heard Tessa humming. She didn't sound like she was working a mission. Tessa was quiet. Focused. This break from her normal behavior bothered him. He planted himself in her way. "Report." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can I at least get in the door and get a drink of water first?" she said as she looked up at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're in the door." Her tone of voice, normal Tessa, brought him down a little. He moved out of her way. "I want to know what you discovered." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She went over to the small kitchen and fetched a glass out of a cabinet. She filled it directly from the tap. Healing factor and all. "A lot we already knew. He's going to school, coaching baseball and trying to stay out of the spotlight. Though he does have more family than we thought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"How many more?" More recruits for the program would make a successful mission if they were all Wolverine's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She took a sip of her water. Why did it feel bad to be telling Nicholas these things? "There's a brother on his father's side. Two sisters and a brother on his mother's side." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 10:12 am UTC (link)
	"The three will make good bait if he won't come in on his own. The other brother. Younger or older? Where is he now? I'll have him checked out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know and Xavier's I would assume. He didn't say much outside of having one on that side and I wasn't going to press the issue." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 10:24 am UTC (link)
	"What else? Did you find out where he was over the winter?" All the time he spent watching, arranging tails and checking, He saw the soft expression in Tessa's eyes and resisted the urge to shake her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 10:26 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head. "He didn't say. Not that I could really ask. These things take time, Nick. I'm not going to get his entire life story in one evening." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 10:27 am UTC (link)
	"You had time. You were gone long enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 10:29 am UTC (link)
	"He's not going to tell me everything about himself in a few hours and I can't interrogate him. He's paranoid and I had to be careful. It was mostly small talk." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:01 am UTC (link)
	"He suspected you," Nicholas accused. "Or you are playing with him for other reasons. You were chosen because he's shown preference for your type. You should have gotten more out of him than just the number of siblings he has." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He didn't suspect me," she said. "He wouldn't want to see me again if he suspected me and he would have called any of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents following him to take me in if he suspected me. I know what he likes to do on weekends, I know what movies he likes and I know one of his favorite places to eat and I build on this information to find out what you want to know. This will take time, Nicholas. I will find out where he was over the winter, but it will take time."

	SHIELD wasn't much of a threat right now, but it could be if they were careless. He turned to lean against the kitchen counter, thinking ahead. "Did you see any weak spot in his schedule where we could take him without attention?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:12 am UTC (link)
	She sighed. "Weekends. To and from his baseball games. He's also planning to spend some time in Russia this summer. I would imagine without his parents nearby." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:20 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. That was useful, although taking a Romanov would be a delicate extraction. For some reason it galled him that the target was royalty. "When are you seeing him again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:21 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know." She shrugged. "He said he would call me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:27 am UTC (link)
	"Don't shrug at me. This mission will validate the program. You aren't dating him. You're looking for information that will put him in the program. It's a mission and he is your objective." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:31 am UTC (link)
	"I know!" she yelled at him. "I know he's just a mission!" She was so tempted to touch him and unleash his own fears against him. She could have him a blubbering mass inside of a few minutes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Except he would not be merciful when he recovered himself. His vicious side was a proven commodity.

His brows snapped together at her response. While he didn't retreat, he did stop pushing. The bastard got to her, somehow. He would follow her the next them she was on the mission.

"Write it up. Every detail, no matter how small or insignificant." He paused. "Did you discover what he fears?"

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:43 am UTC (link)
	She looked away for a moment. "Yes. He fears being restrained and cut open. It could have something to do with his disappearance over the winter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:56 am UTC (link)
	Nicholas nodded, thinking. He would pull the files again and see if there was something he'd missed in his earlier research. If there was competition, it would have to be eliminated. "I want to include your report with the update to the director later today." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_weaponx 2009-05-26 11:58 am UTC (link)
	"It'll be done before I go to bed," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
