"Hey Nat, have you seen this e-mail?"

"No, what is it?" she asked, crossing the room to stand behind him, passing Clint a fresh mug of coffee while she sipper her own

Subject: Betting Activities

Agents,
It is reminded that placing bets within the workplace is prohibited.
Betting on which new recruit will have a mental breakdown next is not an activity we expect our top agents to participate in, and it is particularly frowned on when said agents terrorise the new recruits in order to ensure they win.
Agents Barton and Romanoff are expected to pay back the hundreds of dollars they have won and refrain from such activity in the future.
They will also stop scaring off out new recruits or will be faced with disciplinary action in the future

Thank you for your cooperation,
Maria Hill
Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D

"You gonna give your money back?" Clint asked, taking a sip of coffee

"No, I won almost $900, you?"

"I got $750 and already spent it"

Natasha smiled, she wondered where his new guitar had come from...

The computer pinged as Clint received another e-mail

Subject: Further restrictions

Agents Barton and Romanoff,

At the request of several agents, I have been asked to remind you of the following:
- Water balloons are strictly prohibited on the hellicarrier
- Paintball fights are not appropriate in the hallways
- Encouraging Darcy Lewis to taze people is frowned upon
- When someone gives you decaf it is not them trying to poison you, and neither of you have the power to fire someone
- Replacing the new recruits training weapons with nerf guns is neither funny or helpful
- If any more ridiculous stories regarding Fury's eye patch start circulating, I know who it was
- Agent Romanoff, you can not break every guys wrist who compliments your looks. However inappropriate please report the incident and don't take it into your own hands
- Agent Barton, same goes for you
- Handcuffing two agents together and hiding the key is not an appropriate pass time
- Neither is sabotaging Stark's experiments
- The clothes, jewellery, watches and cars we assign you for undercover missions are the property of Shield, they do not belong to you
- This year you are both under strict orders not to show up to work on April Fool's day
- Spying on senior agents in the air vents will not be tolerated
- Please stop changing other agent's computer desktop images

I am sure there are other protocols and rules I should remind you of, but I'll be here all day and I still have to fix your last mess. So please behave like the respectable Agents you are perceived to be and I won't have to keep sending you these annoying emails

Thank you for your cooperation,
Maria Hill
Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D

"You gonna stop?" Clint asked when he'd finished reading

"No, you?"

"No way!"
