SHIELD

by Byakko Loki

Did Agent Phil Coulson ever tell you, that he was the one who originally presented the idea of calling the "Stategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division", simply "SHIELD"? No? Well, let me tell you a little story... (WARNING! EXTREMELY SHORT ONE-SHOT!)

Fury stood in the middle a large dark room, the wall lined with screens showcasing the leaders of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson stood in the back corner, watching silently.

Until now.

"If I may interrupt," he began, their eyes snapping to him, glaring angrily, annoyed at being interrupted by a simple Agent, while Fury's one eye watched him curiously, silently. He didn't move to stop him, so he continued.

"The acronym for Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division-"

"We've already been over that. It's far too long still, too many letters-"

"It's spells out 'SHIELD', sir."

The Leaders were stultified, at a loss of words for once; meanwhile Fury smirked, pleased with his best Agent.

"I believe that will be all." Fury sniped, content with Couslon's win against the stupid-ass "Leaders".

He and Couslon marched out of that room with pride. Coulson will later be rewarded with a donut (and Lucy).
