Meet me at Big Nick's. Bring ammo.
Sammy was on her second cup of coffee and swiping pictures across a tablet while she waited for Tim. She needed his brain and good sense, and his company. They'd been friends practically since diapers with their families so close, and she lorded her six month edge over him at every opportunity. It had become even more necessary when he shot past her in height before they'd reached junior high school.

Her shoulder injury was on the mend, but it had given her some time to think. It seemed only natural to talk about it with the best friend she had outside her Glock.

Jack frowns. "Counterweights, doorstops, it's all the same to them. Tell me you're not disappearing again."

"I didn't disappear the first time." Sammy looked up at the work being done. "Not much use up here until I heal so I thought I'd check in with the Avengers and get school registration out of the way. Been in the city." She wondered if the building maintenance ever considered that a nice mural on the ceiling would give anybody on their back something to look at while waiting for the doctors. "Did you miss your daily dose of sarcasm?"

"Never had it before I joined SHIELD. Never drank coffee, either. Now I gotta get both or it's disconcerting."

"Join SHIELD. See the world. Experience snark as it was meant to be - fully loaded and caffeinated." She playfully bowed her head in his direction. "I had lunch with Tim last week. There's this wonderful invention, you might've heard of it. It's called a cell phone. People communicate on it. Frequently, too."

"Yeah, Yeah. Fine. I should have tried. Whatever. And Tim totally did not mention that to me." But then, Jack didn't talk to Tim as much as some. Jack was not a guy of gadgetly inclinations.

"His brain is in the Arizona cliffs for some time off. I suggested a beach, a fruity umbrella drink and a book, but he'd rather do something gravity defying. Seriously, Power, all you had to do was tap on your phone if you were that worried."

Which actually gave rise to another questions. "Why were you worried? Did something come up? Any mission that needed attention?"

"No, it's been quiet. We're due for the Death Ray Brigade any minute now, but it hasn't happened yet. I just. You were hurt. And not here. And ...stuff. Look, I can't explain myself in a non-embarrassing manner and be a human scaffolding at the same time."

"Ahhh..." Sammy nodded in her best sagely manner. "Grasshopper has not yet acquired the wisdom of preparing coffee that can crawl away and fend for itself in the wild. It will take many years of dedicated training to attain that knowledge. Few men can ever hope to reach such heights."

"Aleks is indeed a man of uncanny talent, but true caffeinated wisdom comes with great sacrifice." Sammy couldn't hold the laugh back any longer. Her laugh turned into a grimace as she dropped into a chair and the motion pulled at the healing wound. "That should hold your sarcasm at bay for a few days."

Jack sympathy winced. "It'll do for a while. Man, I'm glad I'm a sorceror."

"It wouldn't catch me by surprise if I took the painkillers, but they make me too fuzzy. My aim pulls the left when I'm fuzzy." Not that she would have needed to worry if she'd stayed on the helicarrier...

"It's feels worse than it is," she assured him. "Soon as the doc gives me the all clear I'll be back on the job."

"That it does. I'm one of them. It's in the blood, but even my parents have their place when they want to get away from the office. You fancy sorcerers who can heal themselves don't have the problem of what to do when you're not allowed out in the field."

Big sigh. Not being out in the field was dull business. "I didn't want to sit up here for a few weeks, and staying at the parents' place in the city is practically the same thing as here. So I've been looking at some apartments around the boroughs."

"Or it could be a big FUBAR, huh?" she teased. It was hard to resist teasing him. He was always so serious. "We'll see how far I get with it. I have Tim on my side. He's checking out the places with me when he has time. Somebody has to notice things other than how good the light is for target practice."

"Yeah, that last part's definitely a good plan. So... you worried at all about the Director reading too much into it?"

"The colonel would rather keep me under close surveillance. He has a speech he likes to give me when he thinks I'm playing fast and loose with personal security. It goes something like this..." she dropped her voice to a growly imitation of her father, "Honey, somebody gets their hands on you an' then SHIELD doesn't have a leader. They got a crazy worried dad whose kid is out there bein' held over his head an' that's all I'll be thinkin' about."

"He doesn't pull punches on me. But it also got me a carry concealed permit at fourteen, and seriously, I'm hard to hold on to. Besides," she smiled merrily at him, "I have some pretty impressive co-workers to storm the castle and get me back."

Agent Power does not have an 'aw shucks' smile. He doesn't. He has a perfectly normal range of smiles, and that is what he is using now.
