Sunday evening (open)
Without a best friend to hang out with anymore, Sammy had taken to spending her free time away from the helicarrier at a 24 hour coffee shop near her apartment. The coffee was plentiful, the wait staff friendly enough, and she could hold down a seat at the counter as long as she liked. Her version of the colonel's Fury Files were practically updating themselves with regular attention and caffeine shots. If she kept this up, her final papers would be written months before they were due.

Good thing she hadn't gotten around to buying plants for the apartment. Between the helicarrier and the coffee shop, she wasn't home enough to remember to water them. The last thing she needed was to be a plant murderer.

	"He wants to, but he's become good at looking at big pictures. He's seen it all happen more than once. That's the kind of bedtime story I got as a kid. I bet your dad had some great bedtime stories." Josh Hoskins had his very own file on her harddrive. Looking toward the future meant keeping track of all potential allies and enemies.

	Josh's face seemed to darken a moment upon mention of his father, but it passes. "Yeah..yeah he did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Famous Fury Tact strikes again. Subject change. "So, SHIELD hidden agendas aren't high on your list of things that bother you about SHIELD. I'm going on out a limb with an observation that you've been spending time working working on who's hiding what because you like to know about things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shrugs. "Guilty as charged. I tend to be nosy, making sure projects that Director Fury likely wouldn't approve of don't get too far along." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you, I try my best." He takes another drink. "So..things have been pretty quiet since that last Hydra mission." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I could've done without that last mission," she grumbled into her cup before setting it down. "It won't be quiet for long. The colonel lends me out between missions on occasion. Can't decide if he's trying to keep me out of trouble or building goodwill in other places. You're not much for fieldwork, are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think a lot of lasting changes can get done behind the scenes, but I did do a fair amount of fieldwork for awhile. Been a bit though. My last tour was in Slorenia, saw the Bloodwraith giant striding across a dead country. ..It was a poignant experience, and a reminded why we have teams like the Avengers out there."

	That shut her up for a few minutes. It was an experience she hadn't had yet, and hopefully she never would. "The Colonel wants our particular special ops team to take a place beside the Avengers and the others, and go into places they can't. What do you think our chances are?"

	He sets his cup down. "I think it's something we need. The fact is there are situations out there that your standard superhuman team isn't equipped for..or ready to do. I admire the codes of ethics that a lot of those teams possess but sometimes..some fuckers just need to die," Josh said quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And that doesn't include those who'll live longer than the normal human lifespan." "I'm kind of surprised you sat down. You don't seem to like me much, probably for a lot of good reasons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Something happen recently? You don't have to respond, but I am steeped in secrecy from the womb so discretion is second nature to me. I can listen almost as well as I hit my targets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looked at her for a moment before sighing and then speaking. "I confessed to my best friend that I'm in love with her and she hasn't spoken to me since." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-06-10 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, now how weird was that? "It has to be a difficult situation for both of you. I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-10 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you. I'm starting to wish I never said anything, but after that Hydra mission," he paused before continuing. "The thought that she could have died..so many regrets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-06-10 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Lena Jessen." It wasn't a question. "I'm very sorry. Are you giving up on her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-10 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he admits. He shakes his head. "No, not yet. Not until she at least starts talking to me again and I know where she stands. I respect her too much to do otherwise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-06-10 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Losing your best friend is painful enough without the rest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-10 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	He raises an eyebrow. "No offense, if I'm out of line I'm sorry, but you sound like you know what you're talking about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-06-10 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Losing my best friend? Oh hell yes. Tim Dugan came out of that Hydra mission to tell me he was in love with me. He's been my best friend since we were toddlers and instead of working this out, he shook off twenty years and left SHIELD." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	battle_shield 2013-06-10 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	Josh whistles softly at that. "Damn, I'm sorry. Maybe..maybe he just had to get away for a bit. I mean he'll probably be back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-06-10 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe by then, if then ever happens, I won't be mad at him anymore. He's my best friend and he left at a time when I really need my best friend. If Lena's your best friend and you're hers, maybe she needs her best friend right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
