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.

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	"Somehow I find that hard to believe. You always make time for what needs to be done." Mikel gave her a smile. "I don't know how you do it," Therese said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 12:02 pm UTC (link)
	"We Furys don't sleep either." Another little thrill at the praise. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No we don't," Mikel chuckled. "Finish your muffin and I'll make sure you get home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	She took another bite. "You and Therese are busy people. Go on and I'll talk to you later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"You're my favorite little sister and it's my job as a big brother to look after you," he said with a lopsided smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm your only little sister and you're acting like you're my father." She meant it as a tease at the differences in their ages; Mikel could very well pass as her father. Another tense expression crossed her face. Thinking about Dad made her feel conflicted and she wasn't sure why. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mikel glanced at Therese. Apparently the woman wasn't done with the modifications. "Does that mean I get to scare away boyfriends?" he teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Only if you can take what I'll dish out when you do. Qamar is a lot more understanding about my schedule than a lot of guys would be." Boyfriend might not be the accurate term for Qamar, but Sammy liked spending time with him. She adored Mikel, but there had to be a limit. It wasn't like she couldn't take care of herself in the highly unlikely event that Qamar became dangerous.

	He laughed. "I was teasing, but I can take whatever you dish out, little sister. I like Qamar. He seems like a nice guy. We should have dinner again soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Maybe you can, and maybe you can't." She gave him a cool look that was on the verge of laughing. "He's working on a set of toys for me. You might get a charge out of them."

The muffin was almost gone, as well as the coffee. She felt a lot better. There would have to be some changes in her schedule to allow time for regular meals. It was stupid to let herself get rundown and vulnerable. "I'll ask him to join us one night. His class schedule will be as bad as mine so dinner might end up being an early lunch or breakfast after midnight."

	"Oh I know I can," he grinned. "That'd be great. Whenever the two of you have the time. Therese and I are pretty flexible when it comes to schedules." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-23 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	"And no trying to scaring him off just to see if you can. You don't want me mad at you." She shook a mock indignant finger at him. "Tell him how unwise that would be, Therese." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-23 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"I won't. Promise," Mikel said. "I'll make sure he doesn't," Therese said and patted Mikel's hand. "Feeling better?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-24 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." Sammy balled up the napkin and tucked it into the empty coffee cup. "I do feel better. I'll put a note on my bathroom mirror to remind myself to eat more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-24 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"You better," Mikel said. "Come on. We'll take you home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-08-24 12:22 am UTC (link)
	Sammy picked up her backpack and turned to throw her trash away. She saw the two sitting at a table close by and shook her head. "Has it finally come down to group coffee breaks? This is pretty sad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_zodiac 2009-08-24 12:52 am UTC (link)
	"Sometimes it seems that way," Mikel said. He was quite pleased with Therese's work. The real test would be coming very soon. "The team that has coffee together...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
