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?"

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

"If you want to know what's going on with me all you have to do is ask," he said as he shut the hood. He had no idea what was wrong with the car and wouldn't without diagnostic equipment.

"The only fun part about sun burns is having a pretty girl rub the lotion on you." Not that Tim ever had a pretty girl ever rub anything on him. He didn't do too well dealing with girls he didn't know.

	"I do ask you. You talk about the lab. What you do is pretty incredible and I don't get a word of it." Sammy opened the back door and sat down with her feet outside. It wasn't any cooler, but the shade was nice. "Makes me feel like the slow kid sometimes, but we're just good at different things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What else would I talk about? You don't like the sci-fi stuff. I thought it'd be helpful if you knew how the tech worked." He scratched his head. "Has to be the fuel pump." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm not complaining. You're smart and you're interesting to listen to, and you're right, I need to know how the tech works. There will be plenty of times I'll have to repair or rig my own equipment in the field. It's just...our lives are sci-fi. I /stop/ time, Tim. Long enough to be a kickass assassin or spy, or to pants my best friend. I bet you go to these cons just to see what other next imaginary thing you can turn into reality. I bet you have working models of the Terminator's gun and Luke Skywalker's lightsaber under your bed."

He tilted his head. "I like sci-fi," he said. "I don't go to the conventions just to get ideas. I genuinely like that stuff. I like the stories." The women in tight uniforms or lack there of didn't hurt any either. "Yes, I do get ideas from the stuff, but that's not the only reason why I go."

He was so not going to comment on the Terminator gun and the lightsaber. He did have a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range and a working lightsaber, but they were his little secrets.

	"It can be a lot of fun," she admitted. "And it's a life outside your lab," she added with a smirk. "I knew you had one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have a life outside the lab, thank you very much. I go rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, etc." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2012-06-28 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	"And sci-fi conventions. Been working on that list of panels you want to see?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2012-06-28 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	"The list is done," he said. "There's even going to be a Firefly 10th anniversary reunion. I'm hoping to score Jewel Staite, Gina Torres and Morean Baccarin's autographs and pictures with them." Even though Tim had someone he was interested in, he could still fanboy with the best of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
