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.

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-07 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	"I'll always make time for you." He had always been there for her even if he had to drop everything at the drop of a hat. "You just have to say the word." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a total wimp thing on my part," she said as she took his arm and resumed walking. "Doctor Morse suggested I need retraining because of what happened on the carrier. I'm scared. If you repeat that, I'll put holes in all your socks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-07 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Won't tell a soul," he said. "Just let me know when you want me there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2013-10-07 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. "When you have time off next. I'm waiting until my ribs finish healing first. Seems smart that way. I don't want pain to be part of the trigger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_legacy 2013-10-07 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Just tell me when you need me there," he said. "I can get time off when I need it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She hugged his arm. "Okay, okay, I'll tell you when I'm going in for retraining. It'll be a little while yet. You can still come visit when you have time off before then. I might even make it back into my apartment by then so you can have the spare room."

That made her wonder if her parents really would let her go back with Mikel loose. There was no indication that he would seek her out, except for the bad blood between them. If she continued to behave as if she didn't know about the break out, they'd have to tell her to keep her close.

"Plenty of lab space on the new carrier?" she asked abruptly, interrogation resuming. "I know you'll want space for a beer locker when you come back to SHIELD."
