Checking In (Sammy)
Tim managed to get a few days off and he headed to New York. Working on Top Secret stuff didn't allow for much social contact with other people not working on the project. A few days off was just what he needed to head to New York and check in on his best friend.

He headed into SHIELD's public offices and straight for where Sammy was at.

	Tim laughed. "Says the girl who has NEVER liked surprises." Tim gave her an affectionate squeeze. "I know just the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That never included where to have lunch. Everything else, yes." She poked him lightly in the side. "One little misfire because you startled me, and you never let me live down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim giggled from the poke in the side. He was very ticklish. "I'm not allowed to let you live anything down. It's in the job description." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-05 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Which job description would that be?" She poked him again. "My best friend or my best tormentor?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aren't they one in the same?" he asked with a smirk. "Are you taking any applications for other positions? I'm always looking to expand my horizons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's all I can handle. You've spoiled me for other best friends. Where's this mystery lunch spot, anyway?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim tried not to feel dejected, but it was there. "Feel up for Chelsea Market?" he asked. "It's been awhile since we've been there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds great. I wonder if that gelato place is still open there." She squeezed him around the waist in a half hug, still using his tall form for support. "So, you can't talk about what you're working on, but just nod if I'm right - did SHIELD contract for a new helicarrier?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-06 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe," Tim said. She could figure out what question he was answering. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-06 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	So vague, and yet she thought she was right. She didn't need to go snooping for answers about a helicarrier, but Tim being involved only made sense. He was the best and brightest for the project. "Did they get you an apartment out there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-06 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	"More or less," Tim answered. They were in temporary housing near the construction site. Staying anywhere else and the commute would be murder. "If I were to find reasons to visit New York more frequently, would you like to go to dinner with me? Maybe some karaoke?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-06 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course I'll have dinner with you. Karaoke...I dunno. I'd have to be drunk. Then you'd end up carrying me home because you know what happens when I drink too much." She bumped him. "No visitors on site, huh? If I get clearance, can I sleep on your sofa bed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-06 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	Tim smiled. He knew she wasn't seeing the dinner invite in the same way he did, but it was a start. He wasn't about to give up yet. "It could be fun. You never know." Tim gave her a squeeze. "You know I'd never let you sleep on the sofa bed. You'd sleep in my bed." He would of course have the couch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-06 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"You would offer, but I'd have to insist. You're too tall to get a good night's sleep on a sofa." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-06 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, but I'd never be able to live with myself if I let you sleep on the couch." Tim was a little old fashioned at times and he blamed it on his grandfather and godfather. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-06 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course you could. You don't /let/ me do anything. I insist. Why do you think my apartment has an extra bedroom with a real bed? Because you can't sleep on the sofa. You need your rest. I'm small enough to sleep anywhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-06 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"You only think you're small enough to sleep anywhere," Tim reminded her. "If you visit," he didn't think it would actually happen, "you'll sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the sofa." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

If her parents didn't get off her back soon, she would hide in Tim's duffel bag given half a chance. Now that she knew why they'd kept her so close to headquarters since the crash, getting away without tipping them off that she knew would be difficult.

"We'll see," she half promised, half threatened. "So, climbing and working. I'd say you need to get a life, but you love those things so you're in heaven."

	"Yes, but it's not total heaven," he said. "There are a few things missing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-07 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"I miss you too, you big doofus." She rested her head against his arm as they walked. "That's me assuming your life isn't perfect without your best friend there to torment you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh you thought I was talking about you not being there? I was talking about Big Nick's," he teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-07 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"Hah, that I can believe!" She took a few more steps before broaching the next subject. "Do you know when you might be able to come back for a visit?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-07 12:30 am UTC (link)
	"Of course I was talking about you!" Tim said as swept her off her feet and spun her around once. "When do you want me to come back?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-07 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Ack! Feet leaving the ground! Laughing, Sammy held on until he put her down. "Whenever you get a chance. Maybe you can come back for my retraining?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-07 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"As you wish." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
