Because Why Not?
Jack Power strode through the Helicarrier with a sense of purpose that matched days when there was an official field assignment even though there wasn't. For Jack Power was a man on a mission.

"Fury!" he called as he caught a glimpse of his target.

	"Yes. You have great taste in restaurants. And no, your sisters didn't tell me that." She took a few bites. "Since we're on a date, call me Sam." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sammy continued to eat, enjoying the delicious food and the atmosphere. Occasionally she considered Power and what his next plan would be. A good spy thinks ahead and tries to predict their opponent's next move, but Power on a date was a new experience. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dealing with Fury, he'd been certain to leave plenty of space in the plan for the modifications made by the first few engagements of the evening. But having ad-hoc adapted it, he's determined to follow through. Nothing by halves. And as they eat, he thinks it out, builds up some confidence. Eventualy, they've finished an excellent meal and it's time to cover the check, which he does. He'd certainly saved up enough for it. "Ready to go?"

	She smiled up at him. "Yes. It was delicious but I think moving would be a good idea before we get sleepy." She took his arm again because they were doing this properly. "Where to now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiles. "The docks." And once they reach the car, that's just where they'll head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rolls his eyes. "There's someone I want you to meet. Do you think the car'll be safe here?" he asks as he parks at a ridiculously isolated spot by the river. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. sammyfury 2012-09-19 04:57 am UTC (link)
	She grinned. THAT was a refreshingly normal Power reaction. "As safe as anywhere down here. You picked the spot. No magical car alarm on you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He sighs. "Fine. Just to be careful, we'll take it with us." He steps out and walks up to the dockside. "Friday?"

The cloaking device comes off of the moderately small, but not very small, spacecraft. "Yes, Dear?" A voice vaguely similar to Rosalind Russel echoed in the air.

"I'd like to meet Samantha Fury. Sam, this is Kymellian Smartship Friday, pretty much my aunt. For the record, she's registered with SHIELD and not acting on behalf of her original government."

"So nice to meet you."

"So, Friday, I was hoping to ask for a ride. And ... can we bring the car?" Jack was a little concerned, yes.

	"It's wonderful to meet you, Friday." Sammy had read parts of Power's file, totally not allowed but she wanted to know as much as possible about the agents she worked with, but seeing Friday was something altogether different and unexpected. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Friday will open up. With an, "At least it's mostly clean. Mostly."

"I wash it once a week. There's not much I can do about New York roads," Jack explains as he takes it quickly into the opening cargo bay, then escorts Sammy into the interior, full of traditional Kymellian bright colors and plasteel.

"So, the thing is, Friday, we were thinking Amsterdam."

"Ice cream at this time of night? I hope you already had dinner."

	Cue a stifled laugh as Sammy turned away to look at the inside of the ship. "How often does he go to Amsterdam for ice cream?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Thursday. snarkfighter 2012-09-20 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, not that often," Friday says warmly. "He's a bit of a workaholic." "Yes, Friday. Tell the pot all about your kettle." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Parking is the trouble," Sammy repeated. A couple of minutes? She was checking files when she got back to her quarters. Power's file needed a major upgrade. "Hardly enough time to play License Plate Bingo." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's not much fun with spacecraft anyway," Jack says, smiling. "Get close enough to recognize a Badoon Brotherhood ship, and you wish you didn't." And they are indeed doing some sort of bizarre orbital trick to get across the ocean. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, when she's available," Jack says with a shrug. "Jack visits the most, anyway. Katie's always surprised that he turned out to be the biggest sentimentalist of the family, but I wasn't." Jack groans and rolls his eyes. "Excuse her. English is her 5,000th language..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
