Something happened on the way to Comic Con...
Sammy made good on her promise. She flew out to Arizona to meet Tim and go with him to San Diego. She even allowed him to pick out her costume. What she didn't sign up for was the long drive across the desert to get there. For some weird reason she expected them to fly.

She fell asleep immediately when they left before dawn, only to wake up when she sensed the car wasn't moving any longer. It was hot already when she opened one eye to see where they were. Which was nowhere. All she could see was the highway shimmering in the distance and lots of flat land covered with scrub.

Sitting up, she covered a yawn and shook her head awake. "Are we stopping for breakfast? Is there coffee?"

	She returned after a few minutes. "Relax, they're sending a tow truck and another rental. I get the feeling we'd get there faster if we walked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Should have called the closest office," he said. "They'd be here faster." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aren't we having an adventure?" she chided him with a smile. "Loose in the desert with just our wits and not our ID?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-23 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"I have my ID, but I ain't saying where I have it." Tim was dressed as Conan for Comic Con and his costume didn't have much in terms of pockets or any other places to hold things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

As skimpy as Tim's costume was, hers was becoming more and more stifling in the heat. She'd let him decide what it would be and he'd turned her into the girl from TRON. Except for her face and shoulders, she was covered in black spandex and boots. She did like the boots, but the spandex was making her sweat.

This is what they got for assuming they'd drive into Old Town and go directly to the convention center. Except she really wanted to change into something cooler.

"Timmy, you don't have much there to hide an ID. We don't know how long it'll be. Maybe you should put on a shirt or something so you don't burn too much?"

	"I found a place," he said with a large grin. "Want to go through my bag and find me a shirt while I tinker?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't have anything embarrassing in there, do you? I remember finding some interesting magazines in your bag once." Her voice was muffled from inside the back seat as she hunted through his bag. "Not one Guns and Ammo among them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-24 12:43 am UTC (link)
	"Those I hide because I know you'd steal them," he said. "The girly magazines I leave out since I know you won't touch those." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-24 01:26 am UTC (link)
	She found a shirt and brought it around the car to him. "I knew it! You always hide the good stuff from me!" His back was already getting red. She poked him. "Does that hurt?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-24 05:49 pm UTC (link)
	Tim laughed. "You'd steal 'em if I didn't hide them." "Not yet." Though he had to poke her back. Because it was her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-24 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Not steal," she corrected him, trying to dodge his poking her back, "borrow. Long term. And put this on or the next time I test how done your skin is, it will hurt and I won't be sympathetic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-24 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Steal, cause I'd never get them back," he said. He took the shirt from her. "Yes ma'am." He pulled the shirt over his head and put it on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-24 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	"You would. Eventually." Sammy watched him pull the shirt on and shook her head. "No. No. No. Put on some pants. That shirt doesn't go with those...whatever those are that you're wearing on your bottom half." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-25 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"I know you and I know I'd never see them again," he countered. "If you want me to wear pants, then get me a pair to put on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sammy returned to his bag to grab a pair of jeans. This counted as taking care of him, right? She was keeping him from getting a major sunburn. Uncle Dum Dum would be happy she was watching out for their Timmy.

"I take exception to the idea that I would steal from my oldest friend. I only borrow stuff you don't need. If you notice, I've never once borrowed your tools."

	"I know you and your indefinite borrowing," he teased. "You still have my bb gun that you 'borrowed' when we were eight." He accepted the jeans from her and went around to the other side of the car so he could remove his costume and put on the pants. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-25 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	"You didn't ask for it back," Sammy countered reasonably. She turned her back toward him so he could have as much privacy as possible. "You just had to ask. Plus, you're not a gun person. You might have put out an eye or something. Just looking out for you, Timmy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-25 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	Of course he didn't ask for it back. He never would. As long as she had it he had an excuse to keep seeing her. "Uh huh. You're my best friend, not my mother." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-25 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	"You can never have too many people looking out for you. At least, that's what Dad said when I complained about security. So I pass that tidbit of wisdom on to you. You about done there? The next vacation will involve sunbathing because, my friend, you are too pale. You are labrat pale." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-25 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	He stepped out from around the car and buttoned his jeans. "What's wrong with labrat pale? I work hard at getting that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not healthy. If I can't get you out for field work, you can at least look like you have a nodding acquaintance with sunshine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-26 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't like getting acquainted with sunshine. I only have two colors. Labrat pale and lobster red. Lobster red hurts and no one rubs lotion on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-26 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Didn't I hear you were having lunch with one of the other labrats?" she teased. She handed him a bottle of water. "And there are spray on sunscreens out there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-26 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"The scuttlebutt is blowing things out of proportion. It was lunch and it was a working lunch. We were going over designs." He accepted the bottle of water. "Thanks. Besides, she's not my type and where's the fun in spray on sunscreens?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-26 05:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Scuttlebutt is the only way to hear anything interesting. It helps me keep up with you when you're busy on a project. And the fun in spray on is that you don't turn into a lobster. You're about as much Irish as I am, and you turn well-done in the sun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
