THE ELEVATOR PRANK
By: Phil Coulson
After spending forever negotiating with General Fury, I've finally convinced him to let me prank the Avengers. That's right, Agent Hill and I have already rigged one of the elevators in HQ. Basically if any of the Avengers gets inside that elevator, the elevator lights are going to shut off and leave it dark for ten seconds. While the Avenger can't see, we'll have a little girl (who happens to be one of S.H.I.E.L.D's youngest trainees) climb out of a hatch we've installed in the elevator wall. She's going to have her hair done all frizzy, with makeup that makes her look straight out of a horror flick. She's going to be carrying a little doll with its head missing and fake blood is going to be dripping from her face. When the lights come back on, it would look like she appeared out of thin air. This has scared the bejezus out of S.H.I.E.L.D agents on April Fools in the past (me included). As it is with pranks, the reactions can be unpredictable, especially if the subject is superstitious…
