First Floor Garage, Wednesday Evening

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam was crouched down next to her swoop bike, making some adjustments to the clutch, which was sticking a little, and the brakes, which needed to be made much more solid if she was going to continue going at the speeds she wanted to.

She hummed tunelessly as she worked.

Jack spied Sam and wandered in to stand behind her, hands in his pockets, watching what she was doing for a bit before saying, "Hey."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam turned, and promptly fell back on her butt. "Hey, you. What's up?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Not much," he answered, the corner of his mouth quirking up as he crouched down to her. "You okay?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

She grinned. "Yeah, just a little off balance." Which she was getting used to around Jack.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I can see that." He smiled slightly and nodded at the bike. "What are you working on?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"The brakes," Sam replied, wiping her hands off on her jeans. "I thought it would be good if they worked."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I have to agree. Fast is fun, but it's even better if you know you're not going end up becoming one with a building," he said with a laugh that fell kind of flat. "Can I help?"

Anders came down to the garage with plans to take his glider out for a night ride, and waved to Sam as he walked in. "Tinkering again, Carter?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

She waved a pair of calipers at him. "Always. What's going on with you?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Not much. Just classes, really, and this Las Vegas trip coming up." Anders laughed as he used his sleeve to try and rub off a nonexistent spot of dirt near the glider's tailpipe. "Whatever the radio said, I didn't do it."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I don't usually listen to the radio," Sam explained, looking more than a little confused. "And there's a trip to Vegas?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Neither do I. Probably a good thing," Anders said quickly. "Vegas. Yeah. Field trip for Mister Phale's Prophecy class, and Doctor Wilson's Humor class. I'm . . . told it should be interesting."

"It's the most garish place I've ever seen," Sam smiled, testing the handbrake, which was sticking a little. "But still a nice place to visit. Take bail money, and don't marry anybody."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"You're serious, aren't you?" Anders stopped polishing the glider and turned to stare at her. "Oh lords, I don't need to get arrested two weeks in a row!"

Bridge doesn't actually have a reason to be down here. He was just kind of bored and wandering and realised he hadn't actually been anywhere on the first floor since... well. But here he was.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

And that would be Anders, flyingtacklehugging his best friend with no further explanation.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oof." Bridge says. "Good to see you too, dude."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Hi! Hi hi hi!" Maybe Anders is just relieved to have, you know, a normal and non-flaily kind of interaction with a guy at this point. But more likely he's really happy to see Bridge. "This glider is like the best thing ever and you rock!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I take it you're having fun, then?" Bridge beams at Anders.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah. And I haven't hurt myself, either," he added, because he felt it was necessary to point this out.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam waved from over by her swoop bike. "Bridge, hi! It's up and running."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yay!" Bridge cheers. "Though I'll confess that I'm sorry I missed out on actually helping you work on it at all."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I'm tweaking it now, if you want to help," she offered. "Brakes are a little sticky, and I have no idea if the stealth mode works properly."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I would love to help!" Bridge bounces over. "Point me in a direction."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam laughed. "Start at the other end?"
