Ready to break out
Sammy was feeling restless. A different sort of restless than she was used to feeling. With several jobs under her belt, she wanted to take on another as soon as possible, but Mikel was holding her back. He said he'd call when it was time, but it was taking too long. Their father would hold her back and claim she was too young and inexperienced, but you don't get experience by burying yourself in school and following the rules. She wanted that degree, but she could do both. She was good. It was in the genes ... from him. They didn't have to like Nick Fury to use the abilities and training he'd given them.

She was tired of playing at being the perfect daughter as Mikel had instructed. She belonged with her brother and the others, but she was a member of his team and he told her to stay.

For now, she gathered food from the kitchen, a couple of beers from the fridge, and found a quiet corner to hit the books.

	Qamar blinks. That's a little different than the last time they met, but, well, family relationships can be funny things. "Helpful how?" Qamar asks, curious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You never mentioned him before," James said. Girls were weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Qamar frowns, but says nothing about Mikel. "Um... I wouldn't turn down a snack," he admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You should invite him over sometime." James looked at Sammy. This could be an opportunity to take. "If you're gonna make something, take some pity on me? Jarvis is out and the pasta from last night is gone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Invite him..." she blinked at James, lost for a moment with a frown on her face. Then she shook herself and her smile reappeared. "Maybe. Okay, I'll see what I can rustle up. I don't cook much, so you're taking your life in your hands in I don't find something to reheat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you forgetting who I live with and who I'm related to?" James asked with all seriousness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Um... I can cook," Qamar says. "If you don't mind..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're a guest here and it would be rude of me to keep you from doing something you would enjoy. If cooking is what you enjoy...stop looking so damned hopeful, James...then please make yourself at home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll see what I can find, then," Qamar says as he begins going through the cupboards and setting things out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can help. What would you like me to do?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can fetch things from the freezer and pantry if needed," James said. He had done it on a regular basis for Jarvis. If one was in the kitchen, one was closer to the food and got to it first when it was done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Check the fridge to see if... ooh, good, couscous." He sets out a small bin filled with the grain. "...see if there's any chicken or, failing that, eggs." He sets to work quickly and efficiently, putting both of the others to work only occasionally. Ten minutes later, he scoops the finished product from a pan on the stove onto three plates.

	As Sammy was the one who'd swiped the pasta James had been looking for earlier, she didn't have an appetite for more. That didn't stop her from accepting a plate. The guy could cook! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. You saved my life," James said as he eagerly started eating. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No problem," Qamar replies. "I was a teenage boy not too long ago myself... and I was usually home alone. That's how I developed the skill." He takes a bite for himself. "Nothing to it, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-09-02 07:24 am UTC (link)
	"It's delicious," Sammy said after a bite. She smiled at Qamar. "Any other useful skills I should know about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's good," James said through a mouthful of food. "Not according to my mom and sisters. They burn water." More food was shoved into his mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightingalesong 2009-09-02 07:32 am UTC (link)
	"None worth mentioning," he tells Sammy as he takes a bite. "Thanks. I grew up on food like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2009-09-02 07:38 am UTC (link)
	"Better than the restaurant takeout and S.H.I.E.L.D. cafeteria food I grew up on. I'm not so bad in the kitchen that I burn water, but a person can only eat so many scrambled eggs and toast." She took another bite. "Mikel definitely doesn't get to scare you off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James stayed out of the conversation and worked on his food. He didn't want to get into the discussion of brothers and interfering with little sisters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Internally, Qamar frowns. He was never worried about Mikal chasing him off... just Nick Fury. Something really shifted with Sammy's relationship with her brother. "So... you never answered my question earlier," he says finally. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
