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.

"That was the question," he admitted. "And I'm not surprised."

He stole a french fry. He was a big brother after all.

"How is your mother doing?" Mikel had always liked the Contessa and she was one of the few people who liked him.

Sammy dipped her own fry into the chocolate shake and ate it. "Mom is great. You'd never guess she's in her 60s. She..." Sammy paused. "She's at the public offices these days holding down the fort."

"I'm glad to hear that. Give her my best. I've always liked the Contessa and I know she'll be kicking butt many years from now."

Dad was going to blow a gasket if she told him Mikel had approached her. Mom might not be too much better, even though she'd be more understanding about it. Sammy wished she knew more about what caused the rift between Dad and Mikel.

"I'll tell her." She ate in silence for a couple of minutes, watching the man across from her and admittedly trying to see something of Dad in him. Dad she trusted. Mikel was still an unknown. "When are you leaving town?"

Mikle fully expected the old man to throw a fit over Mikel talking to Samantha. Probably enough of one that the old man would be waiting for him around the corner ready to kick his ass into another country.

"Thank you," he said. "Probably a day or two. I have some business to take care of here in the city." It was true, he was just doing it right now.

"Well, I guess I'll see you in another twenty years." Why did she suddenly feel like the bratty little sisters she'd seen over the years?

"Only if you want it to be twenty years," he said. "I wouldn't mind seeing you again the next time I am in the city, if the old man permits of course. Who knows, maybe we could get to know each other." He gave her a smile.

Her back straightened at the suggestion that Dad dictated who she did or didn't see, ignoring the fact that her parents had selected her play dates as a child, and her current living arrangements, and probably things behind the scenes that she didn't know about.

"Stop following me and call me like a normal brother then."

Logic. She hated it when it was used on her.

Sammy tore a corner of the top page of her notepad and wrote her number on it. "The name isn't Samantha. It's Sam. I really have shot people who call me Samantha." So what if it had only been Misha and he healed in hours. It counted!

"I'll make it a point to remember that, Sam," he said as he took the paper. "If you give me your notebook I'll give you my number."

She hesitated. If she had his number, she couldn't put the no-contact blame on him if he never called her.

Then she handed it over. It was half covered in study notes for her final. "Is it your phone or a message number?"

"It's my cell number," he said as he wrote the number down. "Leave a message if I don't answer. I'll call back."

Sammy didn't know if she believed him. She had no basis to make that determination. All she knew were overheard hints and some incomplete stories. More like this was Mikel filling some sort of curiosity and this would be the end of it. Later when she was back in her room she could feel stupid for hoping for a few seconds it might be new.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Thanks for not shooting me on sight." He gave her a slight smile. "It was good seeing you, Sam. Take care of yourself and I'll see you soon."

"Good bye, Mikel." She didn't know it, but she was sort of smiling back.

He stole another fry just because and then stood up. He looked at his sister for a long moment before starting to walk out.

Okay, that was creepy. Like he was trying to guessing her weight or something. It surely couldn't be that he'd missed her. He didn't know her.

"Hey!"

He laughed as he walked out.

Sammy grumbled under her breath and she turned the page on her notepad and opened her book again. She'd been about to say she was free tomorrow evening for dinner if he was serious, but now that he was gone she felt she'd had a close call with something unknown.

Before she started back in on her studying, she turned the page back and looked at the number. It was unfamiliar area code. Pulling out her cell, she entered the number and was about to tap in the name when something stopped her. Instead, she entered 'Mike' and left it at that.
