Work Therapy (open)
Tim had taken a week off after he had been rescued and it helped clear his head. He had argued that he was fine and wanted to get back in the lab, but they forced him to take a week off. As soon as he was allowed back in his lab he got back to work. Work was the best way for him to deal with what happened and to move on.

He /did/ have a lot to catch up on and had eagerly thrown himself at it.

	"I have always taken credit for everything I do, and given credit where it's due. If the colonel asks me what happened, I'll own up to the damage, and you'll get credit for the weapon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, but you're still not getting it," he said. "It's kind of useless with the current power source. It only lasts a few seconds." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hit up your Stark friend for one of their new power sources," he joked. "You know me. I'm a simple guy. Beer and burgers are perfect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, I'll ask her," she said quite seriously. "You'll have to give her one, but she loves the geek life and would enjoy lording it over her brother that she has a lightsaber and he doesn't." They were soon sitting in a favorite burger place with a couple of beers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm surprised she hasn't made one for herself," he said. "But if you're serious and ask her, I'll love you even more." Tim ordered a beer and a bacon cheeseburger with a side of large fries. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-28 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy ordered a burger. After a pause, she ordered fries as well. If it were any normal occasion, she'd have invited herself to share Tim's, but... yeah. Shell shock. She waited until they were alone again. "So, yeah, that was some bomb you dropped on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-28 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he said with a sigh. "With what happened I didn't know if I would see you again and I promised myself that if I did see you would tell you." Tim stared at a spot on the table. Maybe it would have been better if he would have kept his mouth shut. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would be the last person to ever tell you not to speak your mind, Tim. You've been my best friend since diapers. I count on you to be there when I need my best friend, probably too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-28 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	"No such thing as too much," he said. "I've been there when you needed me and I'll always be there when you need me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-28 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded. "I've had your back when you needed me, and that will never change. I need you to know it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know it and I've always known it," he said. The waitress brought them their drinks and Tim was grateful for the pause. He grabbed his glass of beer and took a long drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-28 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy curled her hands around the cold glass. "You're making this far too easy, you know. That's just like you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-28 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Tim just shrugged. "What else am I supposed to be, if not me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-29 12:11 am UTC (link)
	She lifted the glass in salute of his words. She would never want him to be any different. "I love you, Tim. You're family. You're the closest thing to a brother I have, and it's not what you want me to feel. I don't know if I'll be ready to feel that way about anyone for a while still." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-29 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"Fair enough," he said. She had confirmed his thoughts that she would never see him anything more than a brother. "I had to tell you while I had the chance. We don't know what will happen tomorrow." He took a long drink of his beer and wished it was something stronger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy sat through several sips of her beer. In the back of her head she imagine Tim getting up and leaving, and the idea that she could lose him was not one she cared to examine. But she would never lie to him. "Would it make it easier if I had myself transferred to another duty post for the summer?" A couple of months away would be a small thing if it helped him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-29 12:46 am UTC (link)
	He shook his head. "To be honest, that was the response I was expecting," he explained. "Never thought you'd see me any differently, but I had to tell you how I felt. I'm fine and we're fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-29 01:05 am UTC (link)
	"All right." She downed the rest of her beer and set the glass down with a flourish. "Don't ever get kidnapped again. I'll be in danger of insubordination getting you back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-29 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Yes ma'am," he said and finished off the rest of the beer. The waitress brought their food and Tim motioned for a refill. He was grateful for the food since it didn't allow for much talking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-29 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't call me ma'am. You call the Contessa ma'am." Food, finally. Her appetite was recovering and she dug into the burger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-29 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	Tim's appetite disappeared, but he forced his burger down. Alcohol is what he wanted and a lot of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The ma'am thing. Coulson calls me ma'am. I keep checking to see if I have a white streak in my hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Everyone will call you that one day," he pointed out. "May as well get used to it now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"By then I will have earned it. Never you, Tim. But, I may have something to say if I see an incoming email to Director Pigtails. Want another beer? Not as good as yours, but it's good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
