A huge thank you to my awesome beta Little Miss Thalia Grace.

Now, without further ado, Chapter 1.


Phil Coulson woke up as soon as the sun came up. It was his 8th birthday and he was really excited for his friends to come over. They were going to play soldiers and he would get to be Captain America and lead them all to victory.

"Phil, breakfast is ready." Phil's mom called.

"Coming Mom!" Phil called back.

Phil dressed quickly and raced downstairs. He sat down at the kitchen table and began eating his oatmeal as fast as he could.


"Come on guys. Let's go defeat the enemy, I'll be Captain America."

Phil and his friends grabbed sticks for guns and Phil picked up an old trashcan lid painted to look like Captain America's shield.

They all lined up, with Phil at the front, and began charging around the street fighting imaginary foes.


"I had a great time Phil. Happy Birthday." Teddy said, handing Phil a little paper bag.

Once all of Phil's friends had left, he ran up to his room and say down on his bed. He opened up the little paper bag and pulled out a pack of Captain America trading cards.


This should be a pretty short story.

It was mainly inspired by a few posts I've seen on Tumblr about Agent Phil Coulson.
