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.

	"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)

	That sounded like he was humoring or worse, calling her bluff. Dinner. Then ice cream. In Amsterdam. Hah! She'd just tell anybody who asked (Col. Fury) that Power made sure she got home safely the next morning. She took Power's arm when he helped her from the car and squeezed it in a friendly way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And into the restaurant they go. Once they're seated with menus "What are you considering?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pasta," Sammy said as she looked down the page of delicious choices. "Homemade pasta." She glanced over the top of the menu at him and smiled. "Although my soul could be had for a really good ravioli. See anything interesting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds like a winner." She set the menu down in front of her. "The quail looks good too. What are your thoughts on wine? I've never seen you drink anything stronger than my coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. Mind if I do the vaguely paternalistic ordering-for-both-of-us, then?" Hey, he's being oldschool, but no sense hitting on a pet peeve by not checking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't mind. It's not as if you're trying to order new ammo for me." Sammy wasn't old school, but she had her priorities. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Getting between you and your ammo is not vaguely paternalistic; that's suicidal ideation." The waiter comes. "The lady and I will have the pear-and-cheese ravioli and the quail, please? And another pitcher of water." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-16 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	She waited for the waiter to leave before continuing the conversation. "I've always known you to be a smart man and that just confirms my suspicions. Getting between me and my coffee isn't a good idea either, but that's only when I first wake up in the morning." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Deal." Well, that was a good way to put Alex's Issues into perspective, but just because he was only a paternalistic jackass, rather than evil, didn't mean Jack wanted to deal with him either. Ravioli and quail. "Swap small sections?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy would rather forget she had a brother. "That's the best way." She offered her plate. "I wasn't sure you'd be open to sharing entrees. Sometimes when I'm out with Alice or Tim it's easier to get extra forks. Dad just lets me steal off his plate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uncle Dum Dum is doing well. I still get a kick out of it when he says he'll help me run SHIELD in a few years. The cousins are fine the last I heard. I haven't seen them this week."
