Happy Birthday, Not really (Sammy)
Once they got back from the mission, Jason had been looking forward to a long nap, and maybe a cold brew or two for his birthday. No crazy drinking this year and no fuss made about his getting older; he just wanted to relax and maybe convince Sammy to have tea with him, rather than coffee.

His father's death changed all of that.

Gran called him the morning after he'd gotten home a few days ago to give him the news. Jason didn't know how he should feel; on the one hand, it was his father who had passed away. On the other hand, his father had dropped him off at Gran's house one night when he was three years old and he only heard from him on the rare Christmas or birthday. Jason was ashamed to admit that, short of his grandmother's photos of their family, he couldn't really call Carter Howard's face to mind.

And now, on his birthday, he was going to hear from his father ever again. He'd have to tell Jake.

He sat at the table in his quarters with the first bottle of beer in the first twelve-pack he'd purchased for his twenty-fifth birthday. He wasn't sure he could drink all of them, but he figured he'd give it the old college try, even if he'd never been to college.

	"I'll see if I own such a thing as a cute dress." She was pretty sure she didn't, but she had skirts and tops. Maybe something suitable to blow a certain genius' brain out of his skull. "I'll want to go swimming again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Swimmin' is on the list, too. Whole pond to ourselves and no one to save you from the Mad Scientist. A fully-head Mad Scientist, Sammy. I don't like your chances at resistin' him. Gotta be honest with you. He's been workin' on his defenses and stuff. Your goose may be cooked, Agent Fury." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy airily waved a hand. "I've heard that before. This time the Mad Scientist has to make good. Roast that goose with apples and stuffing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jason just smiles enigmatically at Sammy. "Little do you know, but you've already fallen into my trap, Agent Fury." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is that what we're calling it?" She returned his smile with one of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)
