Almost done!
Two more finals to go, and those weren't until the end of the week. Then she'd be done and free for at least two weeks. Then it would be the summer internship at S.H.I.E.L.D. Training with the Avengers beta team. Personal training with Uncle Steve. She was doing so much better, too. The last time out was held down for ninety seconds. Fluke or not, she'd done it. Now all she had to do was find away to use it that wasn't illegal or immoral.

She debated whether to go back to the mansion and study with one of Jarvis' ice cream sundaes masterpieces, or to spend the time in the library. Two solid years of school, including summers, was getting to her. Her goals were still firmly in place, but she was in desperate need of a vacation. It was getting to her.

She compromised and ducked into a small hole-in-the-wall cafe and asked for a corner booth. Her bag weighed her down, but it wasn't all books. Her Glock was feeling extra heavy these days too. That's how she knew it was stress; the Glock was her baby and she wouldn't be parted with it on a dare.

With a chocolate shake and a plate of hot fries for the dipping, Sammy cracked a book with a sigh, got out a pad of paper, pencil and a highlighter, and bent her head to the next final prep.

Mikel Fury sat a few booths away and watched his sister, half-sister, for a bit. She looked stressed. Maybe the old man was pushing her a little too hard. Mikel knew first hand how that was.

She probably won't be glad to see him, goodness knew the old man would have a hissy fit when he found out he talked to his precious Samantha, but Mikel had a plan. That plan included his sister.

He stood up and walked over to her booth. He slid onto the bench across from her. "Hello Samantha."

Strike one, somebody called her Samantha. Ordinarily she'd have let it go with a polite correction, but stress made the muscle in her jaw twitch in irritation.

She looked up at the uninvited man across from her and resolved to work harder on her GO AWAY vibes at her first free moment. It was important to keep up with the useful skills.

"I shoot guys that call me Samantha," she said in a polite voice. "You have three seconds to explain why I shouldn't now."

There was a small smile on his face. "I'm sure the old man would be thrilled to hear you shot me and put me out of his misery."

"I'm not completely surprised you don't recognize your own brother, well half-brother. I would have thought the old man would have at least shown you photos of me to warn you to stay away from me."

There weren't any pictures of her brother in her parents' house. She'd seen one once in a file she wasn't supposed to be looking at, but this guy only bore a passing resemblance. Mikel had to be in his forties by now.

She tilted her head to get a better look. "ID."

"I see the paranoia really is genetic," he said as he carefully reached for his wallet. She'd be armed. He knew that. She was Daddy's Golden Child.

"It's not paranoia when somebody's really out to get you," Sammy countered. She'd had gone for his wallet herself, but she'd have to freeze time and move him around. That would give up her secret far too quickly and it was her ace in the hole.

"That is one of the old man's lines if I ever heard one," he said and pulled his wallet out. He set it on the table and slid it across to her. "My license and old S.H.I.E.L.D. ID is in there."

"When he's right, he's right." She slid it toward her and opened it up with her pencil, using the eraser to ease the ID cards out and onto the table. She examined them carefully, and turned the S.H.I.E.L.D. ID over to check the serial numbers. After a long minute, she put them back and slid it over to him.

"Okay, you're Mikel Fury. Don't tell me you showed up after twenty years of ignoring me to ask for a kidney."

He chuckled. "Hardly. I was in the city and decided to see how my little sister was doing. I haven't seen you since you were an infant."

She scowled, resembling Nick more than Val at that moment even as a tiny bit of only child self lifted in hope. "How long have you been following me?"

"Why all the secrecy? You must know Dad has me followed. He'll know you've seen me." She was guessing on the babysitters. It would be like Dad, but things had been pretty calm. "He's not going to shoot you on sight. Why not see him?"

"Probably and I wouldn't put it past the old man to shoot me on sight. I'm not exactly his most favorite person."

By six pm Sammy had been back at the Avengers Mansion for a couple of hours and was about to close the books in favor hot shower and a cold drink. At the same time. The encounter with Mikel had only increased her stress until the muscles in her back would most probably twang if somebody touched her shoulder.

She had her cold drink and had just made it back to her room when her phone vibrated wildly in her pocket. "Yeah?" she barked into it without looking at the display, closing her door behind her.

She pulled the phone back and looked. Yeah, dear ol' Dad. The right of wrongs, Santa's stand-in during the blizzard of '93, and the scourge of prom dates.

"Sorry, Dad, it's been a long day. Two more finals to go and I'm cramming for them. What's up?"

"Not yet, but I feel good about them. I'll be glad when they're done until next semester." Sammy put her drink down and flopped on the bed. "How's Mom?"

There went the swell of 'ya done good' inside. She had enough of an ego to need it fed regularly. Dad was never short on the praise.

"It's hard to plan these days when you're spending more time on the Helicarrier," she pointed out reasonably. "But I'm pretty much free in the evenings now. Burning sunlight now to cram for those last two finals."

"How 'bout you come over as soon as yer done with yer finals?" Nick didn't want to do anything that would take away from her studying time. "We can sit down an' have a nice dinner."

"Saturday we'll celebrate," he said.

There was a pause.

"If it's about yer brother, I know ya saw him today."

"I told him you'd know he was around." Hiding or lying about something wasn't Sammy's style. "He didn't say or do anything threatening, Dad. I was the one that threatened to shoot him. I want to hear what happened between you and Mikel, but it's not all I want to talk about."

"We'll talk about yer brother when we see each other." It was quite clear that this was something he didn't want to talk about on the phone. "What else ya want t' talk about? What are ya gonna say that could give me a heart attack?"
