Because Why Not?
Jack Power strode through the Helicarrier with a sense of purpose that matched days when there was an official field assignment even though there wasn't. For Jack Power was a man on a mission.

"Fury!" he called as he caught a glimpse of his target.

	Sammy paused at the familiar bellow in her direction. "Power!" she called back. "Hey, that sounds like a comic book. 'Fury and Power! She's a kickass spy! He's a veteran sorcerer! They fight crime!' Whatcha think?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I think you'd be a cutthroat negotiator on copyright issues," he says. "And I believe the full phrase is 'kickass spy who plays by her own rules.' 'Cause someone always has to have that phrase in these things, and it's definitely more you than I." Pause. Mentally realigning tracks. "Digression aside, I ahd something I wanted to ask you."

	"It's implied," she said with a smirk. "What's up? Find a new coffee roast? Part your hair on the other side and need an opinion? Wait, I got it. You're trying out a new hair gel. Go back to the old one. This one is giving you helmet hair shine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A pause for a moment of silence. Standard glarey silence. Then, on with the plan. "What are you doing Thursday night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-09-13 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Standard glarey silence was greeted with an overly innocent smile. Power was just so much fun to needle that she couldn't resist teasing him. She couldn't tease most agents like this. It was as if they could see Nick Fury standing over her shoulder daring them to say something. Power was different in a good way. "Counting ammo shells. Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can totally get that done quick enough, and it just so happens I'm free that night; would you like to have dinner with me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-09-13 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Bored with helicarrier food, huh? Don't blame you there. It think the cook is reliving his army days. Sure, let's have dinner." Sammy pulled out her PDA to check her calendar. Which was pretty empty at the moment. Maybe dinner with a friend was just what she needed to perk up her month. "Where did you have in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Felidia. Pick you up at six?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-09-14 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"Oooh, Italian. It speaks to me. It says 'I'm fattening and delicious.' Six is fine with me. Is this your first time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	snarkfighter 2012-09-14 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"I'd say that's a terribly personal question, but yes. I've been budgeting carefully to splurge at Felidia, and it's on me. Which makes this... a date." The lack of dramatic music was too bad, but Jack had never learned any sorcery for mood-environment effects. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-09-14 03:57 am UTC (link)
	Sammy's mouth opened and closed, momentarily stunned. Which didn't happen very often, and never with Power. It was supposed to be the other way around. "I mean, is this your first time at Felidia, not your first date. Although now you make me curious about what other firsts you haven't had yet. Like...have you ever experienced a bounce house?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	snarkfighter 2012-09-14 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"And I answered about my first time at Felidia, and yes, Fury, I have been in what the civilized world knows as "spacewalks." It's only a little like walking in space." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-09-14 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"Bounce house sounds like more fun. Spacewalks not so much. Wait, this is...a date? It's been a while since I've had to defend my honor with a 9mm." She grinned at him. Stunned moment over, mouth on full speed ahead. "I'm looking forward to it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy spent some time getting ready for dinner, telling herself that she was dressing for the surroundings and not necessarily for Power's idea of a proper date. She could do dressy with concealed weapons as well as any other self-respecting spy. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jack arrived at the specified place precisely on time, and managing to pull off the three-piece suit reasonably okayishly. "You look fantastic," he says simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-15 04:01 am UTC (link)
	Three-piece suit. It told Sammy that Jack was taking the date concept seriously. She was glad she hadn't gone with casual. "Thank you. You're looking pretty great yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. For this evening's reference, what's your policy on held doors and chairs?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-15 11:25 am UTC (link)
	"I'm all for them. They make great impromptu weapons when you're not armed." She paused for a beat. "Just for the evening's reference, I'll try not to tease you so much. And I am armed. It's a habit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. snarkfighter 2012-09-15 03:31 pm UTC (link)
	The blinking at the first part will no doubt be refreshing normality, then, at the last part, "That I expected. I mean, I don't have my powers removed to go on a date, so I assume the same broad general principle." He does get the car door for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-15 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	It was kind of amazing that Power would have a car, especially in New York. It would be interesting to watch him navigate traffic. "I told Dad I had plans tonight and to keep his babysitters away. He thinks I'm going to be really bad or really illegal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. snarkfighter 2012-09-16 12:31 am UTC (link)
	The answer to that question is 'with a combination of some patience and some commentary about whether certain cars deserve to still have the support of gravity.' But mostly, he keeps his temper. Mostly. "So, every impression is given that we're wiretapping the U.S. Senate before flying to Amsterdam?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-16 12:43 am UTC (link)
	The commentary caused Sammy to look out the passenger side window and hide a smile. She'd never thought she'd see Power politely flip off other drivers without actually extending a finger. "I scheduled that for next time. This week it's the U.N. and then off to Costa Rica. I love the beaches." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. snarkfighter 2012-09-16 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"Can't turn down Costa Rica. Although it's hard to beat Amsterdam for sheer decadence. The ice cream's the best I've ever had that wasn't actual gelato." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-16 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"I can't say I've had the ice cream in Amsterdam, but I love gelato. You've talked me into it. Dinner, then Amsterdam for ice cream?" Teasing! And yet, she really wanted ice cream now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A reasonable plan." It's not that much longer until they make it to the restaurant. He'll get the door again, offer an arm, and generally try to do the date thing like a professional. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
