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.

Friday will open up. With an, "At least it's mostly clean. Mostly."

"I wash it once a week. There's not much I can do about New York roads," Jack explains as he takes it quickly into the opening cargo bay, then escorts Sammy into the interior, full of traditional Kymellian bright colors and plasteel.

"So, the thing is, Friday, we were thinking Amsterdam."

"Ice cream at this time of night? I hope you already had dinner."

	Cue a stifled laugh as Sammy turned away to look at the inside of the ship. "How often does he go to Amsterdam for ice cream?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, not that often," Friday says warmly. "He's a bit of a workaholic." "Yes, Friday. Tell the pot all about your kettle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Parking is the trouble," Sammy repeated. A couple of minutes? She was checking files when she got back to her quarters. Power's file needed a major upgrade. "Hardly enough time to play License Plate Bingo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's not much fun with spacecraft anyway," Jack says, smiling. "Get close enough to recognize a Badoon Brotherhood ship, and you wish you didn't." And they are indeed doing some sort of bizarre orbital trick to get across the ocean. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, when she's available," Jack says with a shrug. "Jack visits the most, anyway. Katie's always surprised that he turned out to be the biggest sentimentalist of the family, but I wasn't."

	'Old Habits', he half-mutters back. And off they go into the extremely confusing streets of Amsterdam, to find that fascinating combination of frozen cream and fruit preserves that is the local ice cream. It's not gelato, but Jack is a happy man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You would doubt correctly, unless it's a lesbian bar. Then it's a distinct possibility. It was a farewell trip for a friend of Anya's." Sammy gave Jack's ice cream a considering look. "Are we going to the Casablanca now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
