Any/Sam - "Reunion"

Have just re-watched TRON: Legacy. Am I the only one to think that the meeting between Sam and Kevin was just a little bit... Lacking? Sure, we've seen some surprise on Kevin's part, but Quorra seemed to be far more excited about Sam's presence. And the dinner talk, and the following fight did not help any... What if the talk between Quorra and Sam about Zuse did not happen? What if Sam just went out on his own, and no one knew exactly where

Yes! I agree with this completely. It seemed like Sam was pretty hurt and bewildered by his father's reaction, too.
I love like, all of these points. Seconded! (I am imagining a creepy, sympathetic olderbrother!Clu doing a complete 180 on his approach to Sam after finding out Sam feels he was rejected by Flynn too. His arm around Sam's shoulder, Flynn's always like that, man, let me show you around the system...)

Same possibly-doing-something anon as above...
You list these as a must; would you want a fill or partial fill that didn't include them all? I'm mainly having trouble with point 2, at least the way it's presented-- in my headcanon, Sam's far better at the programs=people thing than Flynn is, and I'm having serious trouble imagining a Sam who would think "eh, genocide coulda been the right thing there", especially after Quorra already saved his ass once.

Revealing myself because the thread WON'T show comments otherwise. I see your point, but I didn't quite mean that Sam should think that... Merely ponder the reasons WHY Clu would do what he did to ISO's, perhaps try to see things from the admin's point? I am of opinion that ISO's appearance quite possinby could've been followed up by glitches and bugs. Not an excuse for homicide, true, but that's a human's opinion, no?

Likewise revealing myself, 'cause meh why not...
I can get that to some extent, and sure, ISOs seem to have been followed by system issues if Betrayal's anything to go by. I'm just having trouble working Sam's voice in my head to a point where he considers that spontaneously--especially under the category of "oh, well, Clu's actions make sense, then".
*shrug* If you feel strongly about it, it's your prompt and that's fair, but mainly just asking if it's all or nothing with the list. While I might be able to tweak something like that into my vague story-thoughts, at most it'll take awhile to happen, and depending how things go, it might just not come up.

-_- I have way too much other stuff I should be writing... damn you, AUs and your infinite "but what would happen!?" potential. :D
Right, this is the first chapter--more prologuey than anything, though. Warning to all, I may be slow with updates due to needing to go write other stuff. If any faster (or otherwise) anon wants to do something for this, feel absofrackinglutely free.
“I really think you should consider your father’s wisdom.”
Her words were quiet, eyes fixed on the user as she spoke. On Sam. He was so different from Flynn. Rash. Unpredictable. In many ways, simply ignorant.
Quorra liked him.
He met her gaze squarely, brow still furrowed with anxious frustration. His response was direct. Unflinching. “I have.”
She looked back a moment longer, then blinked, head dipping in a nod as she turned to walk off. He was resolved, then. And if that fact, that knowledge, that promise of action set a thrill through Quorra’s circuits, if her processing surged with glee as she broke, even so slightly, from the paths of stability

…Frack it all, posting what I’ve got so far. -_- I kept trying to wait until I had the whole chapter before putting it up, but I’m coming to the conclusion I just don’t write as quickly that way. :P Dunno. Anyways: most of a chapter! Thanks for the reviews, and sorry for the wait!
Also-this fic will be huge. O.o I tried plotting out chapters and got to 14, with maybe 2/3 of the plot done? I don’t even know.
Sam was done waiting.
The dark stone of the outlands sped by out the windows of the enclosed lightcycle. Sam hunched forward, hands gripping tightly as he jerked sideways, taking the turn more quickly than was probably safe. But hey, Quorra had called this ‘the fastest thing on the Grid’. Or off-grid, apparently. He was just putting it through its paces.
He shook his head, jaw tensing grimly. Quorra. He’d thought she was with him. For all that she’d defended his dad’s inaction, her own enthusiasm for the do-nothing plan had seemed lacking at best. Honestly. She’d busted into the packed arena to save his ass, brought grenades

The portal. He rolled his eyes. Clear enough. He’d known that much starting out. It was the steps between ‘steal lightcycle’ and ‘warp out’ that required… improvising. The portal was past the city-a ways past, if the view from his dad’s hideout said anything. He needed information. Faster transport, ideally. He glanced up as a recognizer soared past overhead. I wonder… Sam’s lips quirked up in a smirk before he shook his head. Probably too well-watched. But hey, he could dream.
He pulled out onto a larger street, slowed to glance up and down it. This seemed to be one of the more populated areas, programs passing both directions in a steady stream of glowing lights. Sam paused. Looked at the crowds. He could deactivate the cycle. Try to blend in on foot.
But something about the plan made him hesitate-and after a moment, he realized what. The programs in this area were attired… casually? Not in bodysuits with glowing target marks. They glowed, sure-in strips and lines and little patches on jackets, shoes, uniforms. But combat
