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 could've sworn that time off order said one month, not one week." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"One week was more than enough," he said. "I can't sit around and play video games for a month and it's not really Con season yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy moved from the spot she appeared in to get a better look at him. "Just between us, Timmy, are you all right? Tell me straight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm good, Pigtails. I'm waiting for my Official Kidnapping/Abduction badge to come in the mail now that I've earned it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shook her head. "Let's not turn it into a frequent kidnapping card. You're supposed to be safe in the lab." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's a lot of things I'm supposed to be, but I was never good at living up to expectations." He smiled at her. "Besides, I have you to come save me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes." Her jaw tightened just a tiny bit. "Guess we'll never make a field agent out of you now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-20 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Tim noticed the jaw clenching. He knew all her signals. He should. He had been watching closely for a very long time. "What? What did I say wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-20 11:55 pm UTC (link)
	That made her blink. "What? You didn't say anything wrong. Except for the part where you only took a week off. You have more vacation time coming. Didn't you want to climb some fake mountain in Europe?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-21 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"You're mad and you're clenching your jaw. What's really bothering you and don't say that I only took a week off. We both know you would have taken less time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-21 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, but I'm a field agent. I have to be able to bounce back instantly and keep on with the mission. I'm working on a mad with the colonel, not you. Although you could probably use an academy refresher course if you're going to be on the kidnap list." She hugged him. "We need to keep a better eye on you. You can't be replaced." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He didn't send me out in the field," Tim said as he hugged her. "I was sent to a research lab, exactly where I should have been." He pulled back to be able to look at her. "Besides, SHIELD has scientists by the dozens. I can easily be replaced." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-21 12:36 am UTC (link)
	"You mean, SHIELD has thousands of agents, but a scientist that does what you can do, and understands what we need in the field? That's priceless. Now before we have ourselves a real girly moment, let's have dinner tonight. We can scoop up Alice if she's not test driving a new cadet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-28 12:53 am UTC (link)
	True to her word, Sammy was back to find Tim for dinner. Still a little shell shocked, but there was nothing that couldn't be faced over a burger and a beer. Hopefully. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Tim was hunched over his computer. He had managed to find time to change into a polo shirt to go with his jeans. It was different from his normal geek tee shirt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She didn't suddenly appear to startle him, a fun game since she'd discovered her ability. Instead, it was a sedate knock on the door and a peek inside. "Hey, Timmy. Ready to grab some dinner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-28 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"Yup," he said and closed the laptop. "Was just getting some notes down." He turned and gave her a smile. He was surprised she was here, quite relieved too, and surprised she didn't use her powers to scare the crap out of him. He grabbed his jack from the back of his chair and slipped it on. "All ready."

	"Any of those notes about the fabled lightsaber I hear is hidden somewhere in your lab?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-28 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Nope. That's safely hidden away," he said. "Shall we?" he offered her his arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-04-28 01:56 am UTC (link)
	She took his arm, because this was still Tim and she had always done so when they walked together. "I will find it one day. Alice and I will have classic battles in the gym." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"IF you ever do find it, which you won't, I won't be held responsible for any damage you do with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	sammyfury 2013-04-28 02:57 am UTC (link)
	"You'll fix it. You always find a way. Burgers and beer good with you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-04-28 10:47 am UTC (link)
	"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)
