Putting Things Into Motion
Mikel Fury had decided that it was about time to implement his plans for his father. His sister, willingly or unwillingly, would be key to those plans. The past few months' worth of work were coming to a head and this moment.

He sent a text to his sister and asked her to meet him at Brasil Coffee House on Lexington Ave. It was quiet and not busy at this time of the day. It would be perfect for what he had in mind.

Mikel sat a small table with Virgo and waited for his sister. Not far from them, Gemini, Grigory Genovese, and Leo sat drinking a cup of coffee. It always paid to have backup.

	The wave of dizziness caught Sammy as she tried to stand up. She sat down hard in her seat and tried to shake her head and clear it. She lifted a hand to her face to rub her forehead and frowned when she saw Therese touching her. Were they out shopping and she got sick? Because she didn't have any recollection of them coming here. Wherever here was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You okay?" Mikel asked. "Sit down and let me get you some water." Mikel stood up and went to the counter. Virgo would work on programming her while Mikel sat and chatted with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy blinked at Mikel leaving, then turned her attention to Therese. The woman was talking but Sammy was having a hard time making sense out of her words. She felt herself nodding slowly in response. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Here," Mikel said as he offered her the glass of water. "Take a few sips. You'll feel better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 09:55 am UTC (link)
	She took the glass automatically and frowned again as it trembled in her grasp. Getting a few sips took a little more effort than usual. "Am I sick?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikel shook his head. "No. I think you just had a dizzy spell. Maybe a bite to eat would help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:07 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe it would. It's been a long day." As soon as she said it, Sammy wondered if it really had been a long one. Thoughts weren't falling into place the way they should. "I should probably get home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let me get you a muffin," he said. "Eat something before you decide to attempt to go home." He went back to the counter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:18 am UTC (link)
	"I don't have dizzy spells," she told Therese. "I'm not the type. Maybe I've had too much coffee today. The first few weeks of school are a lot work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 10:21 am UTC (link)
	"We all get them once and awhile," Therese said with a small smile. "Just sit and have a bite. You could have low blood sugar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:30 am UTC (link)
	She sat still and waited for Mikel to return. "I'm afraid I lost the conversation. What were we talking about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 10:43 am UTC (link)
	"Our upcoming job, but don't worry about that right now," Mikel said as he placed a blueberry muffin on the table in front of her. "Eat. You'll feel better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:48 am UTC (link)
	Sammy obediently began pulling the muffin into pieces and taking small bites. "I'm used to working with a different sort of team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 10:51 am UTC (link)
	Mikel nodded. "It takes some time to get used to a new team," Mikel said. "You've been fitting in well with us on the few jobs you've been on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:54 am UTC (link)
	Her hand paused halfway to her mouth with a bit of muffin. The moment of uncertainty passed. "You're just saying that because I'm your sister." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 10:56 am UTC (link)
	"I do have a soft spot for you, but that's not the reason. You have developed good skills and are an asset to the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 11:06 am UTC (link)
	She thought she had the skills, but for the life of her right now she couldn't remember the details of their prior jobs. Still, the praise was nice. She tried hard to do her very best every time and keep up her end of things. Mikel wasn't going to regret his decision to let her in on a few jobs. "Careful they don't say that soft spot is in your head," she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He chuckled. "It's not. I have a thick skull. That's a family trait. Eat up. We have to get going soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 11:16 am UTC (link)
	She took another bite of the muffin and reached for her coffee cup. "Don't let me keep you. I can get home fine all by myself. I've been doing it for years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 11:18 am UTC (link)
	"I don't mind waiting. Want to make sure my little sister is okay and gets home okay. Isn't that what big brothers are for?" He gave her a charming grin. "I've been looking after you for some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 11:25 am UTC (link)
	Another tense moment that passed more quickly than the last. She hardly felt any dizziness now. "And I still manage to survive anyway. Therese is right, I've been making a push to get ready for school in between the other stuff and I guess I forget to eat sometimes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 11:28 am UTC (link)
	"You always push yourself too much," Mikel said. "Just like you," Therese said. "Family trait." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 11:33 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, just like you," Sammy echoed after Therese. "I'll miss class time if you send me on a job, so I need to make sure I'm on top of everything possible when it happens. You know I want the degree." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 11:35 am UTC (link)
	Mikel nodded. "Yes. I know and I'm proud of you for wanting it. Don't worry. We won't let work interfere with school too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 11:44 am UTC (link)
	Cue smile. She was lucky to have a brother willing to work around her schedule even when he was teasing her about it. He was never more than a phone call away if she needed him and he was away 'on business' "I appreciate it. Between school, training and whatever you drum up, I'll be lucky if I manage a date every now and then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
