Prologue

Most days, Jordan liked working for SHIELD. The benefits were awesome and she got to feel like a badass even if she was just pushing the paperwork for the agents (but hey, someone has to do it otherwise things would never get done.) But today was not like most days. Today, she had to go up to her supervisor to tell him about an oversight on the regulations which pertained to the deadliest woman she had ever known on paper and in gossip trails.

If Natasha Romanoff does not get her citizenship in three days, then she would be deported and could not work for SHIELD US, but rather she'd have to be transferred to another branch of SHIELD with the discretion of the World Council.

Shit.

She looked away then looked back at her computer screen just to ensure that she read it correctly, no need to falsely worry anyone (things tended to explode randomly when someone in SHIELD was worried… something about ordnance). Twice. Three times. Yes, damn it. She'd have to tell her supervisor who would have to tell his, who eventually it would get to Natasha Romanoff code name Black Widow that she was the one who found the discrepancy.

Jordan made a mental note to stop by the legal offices to ensure that her will was up to date.(Someone had to take care of her dogs if she disappeared). She stepped up to her boss' cubicle and with a breath knocked softly on the side.

"Mr. Smith?" Jordan whispered trying to get his attention.

"Yes?"

"Sir there's a discrepancy on an important paperwork for one of the Level 13 agents."

"What? There's only like twelve Level 13 agents."

"Yes sir, that's why we're only checking their paperwork after three fiscal years."

"It's not even close to the end of a fiscal year, Jordan."

"I'm trying to stay ahead of the paperwork, sir."

, an older agent who refused to leave SHIELD because it was everything he knew nodded his head. Fast burner, he wouldn't be surprised if he came across Jordan Nile's application to become an agent soon enough.

"What is it?"

"I've forwarded you the file sir, on your inbox."

"Okay but give me the cliffnotes."

"Sir, Agent Romanoff's working visa is expiring. She's going to need to get her citizenship or expedite the process which usually takes even SHIELD two weeks otherwise she'll have to be permanently transferred to a sister organization in another country."

Smith almost chocked on the soda he was sipping.

"You're sure?"

"Yes sir, I double checked with Legal and this is what they came up with."

"Fuck. This stays between the two of us, Nile. You hear me? I'm not trying to piss anyone off with this information."

"Copy, sir."

"Damn it," Mr. Smith said dismissing Jordan with a wave of his hand before picking up his phone and dialing the number for HQ. "Yes, this is John, yes John Smith. No, not that John Smith. The third one, in personnel? Yes. Yes that one. I need to speak to Agent Coulson about a Level 13 agent? It's important."

Jordan would've loved to have heard the conversation thereafter, but she was getting looks from the other senior admin personnel in the area.
