Another Date
An evening of dinner, Amsterdam Ice Cream, and karaoke.
A trip to the theater.
A nuclear scare... wait, that distinctly had not been a date.

"Fury, are burgers and root beer allowed in the firing range?"

	Sammy watched from behind him, safety glasses and ear plugs on. She liked to observe, and she'd been in ranges literally since before she could hold a gun on her own. Her first shots were taken with Dad on his knees behind her, helping her find her target with her very first Glock. She watched for a moment longer before going to the next station.

	And Agent power is perfectly adequate at this, the shots somewhere near the middle of the target, but first slightly too low, then overcompensating slightly too high. He manages a thin smile as Sammy gets to her own work. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy put on her serious face, because there was no horseplay on the shooting range, and went through her usual checks as she readied herself. She eyed the target at the far end of the range.

If she'd been less serious about her shooting, she might've placed the shots in a happy face and any number of fun shapes. If she'd been trying to impress Power, she might've done it anyway.

Her Glock 23 released all 15 shots in a rapid staccato. The shots grouped in the head and heart sections of the target.

She slipped out the mag for a fresh one and looked over at Power's station.

	Power's got a slightly more vertical-line situation, though generally on the target. "Full disclosure," he admits wryly. "One of those headshots wasn't supposed to be." He looks and nods appreciatively at hers. "Not surprised." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. It really does pay to sleep with it under your pillow." She wandered over to look at his target. "You've been practicing. Nice work, Tex." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A slight dismissive sound. "I've been trying, but I spent a long time only having one thing to do with bullets, and that was disperse them or drop them to the ground quick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't mess with a girl's ammo. It could get dangerous." She patted his arm. "Your stance is textbook but you might have more success if you throw out the techniques and shoot from the hip, so to speak." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jack rolls his eyes, then does his best to relax and not fixate -- on positioning, on the exact weight of the gun and the ammo and whether he ought to be adjusting either. He just stands a little more normally and fires off another sequence of shots. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Better, better..." Sammy took his .357 and handed him her Glock. "You're getting the hang of it, although your eyes might roll out of their sockets if you do that too hard. Mine has an easy kick so you won't be tensed up expecting it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	snarkfighter 2012-12-12 07:32 am UTC (link)
	"The muscles holding my eyes in their sockets get a lot of practice, never fear." But he has to admit, there's something a little easier about the Glock as he makes himself not overanalyze and just do it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's it!" She took the gun from him and inserted a new clip. "The Magnums can be fun, but so are Uzis and flamethrowers. Not exactly what I'd take on a mission though." She handed the gun back. "Good thing you relaxed. I was going to try massage next." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe next time." She smiled at him. He was very sweet, letting her lecture on one of her favorite subjects. "I know you won't have a use for a gun in the field, but it can be good for stress release. Massages, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope," she said cheerfully. "Just saying. Although I have been asked if SHIELD will ever bring them in on a special mission. I think the response was something close to not tampering with the glue that holds the colonel's sanity together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His hand goes automatically to the bridge of his nose. "That's an excellent response." The idea of his sisters working with SHIELD is practically painful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
