Author's Note: Hello fellow writers, so recently I've had the urge to post this new story idea I have just to see what the response is. It's a Philinda AU story that has been floating around in my head and I just need to get it out. I don't think there are enough AU stories about them, but the one's I have read are just awesome, well-written. So I hope I can do this justice. Anyways, this is just the prologue, I have a whole general outline ready, but I am just taking it by chapter and seeing how the story flows. Any comments or constructive criticism is much appreciated. Well, guys, hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.

Prologue

Phil Coulson was on the verge of having a nervous break down, and it wasn't even 9:00 yet. It was his first day as the new history teacher at Stark's Highly Improved Educational Learning Divisional High School, or S.H.I.E.L.D as everyone dubbed it. It was a public school in New York founded for the sole purpose of keeping kids off the streets and teaching them some discipline. The government and founder saw it as a way to help the community, a way to turn the world into a better place. The previous teacher had mysteriously disappeared off the face of the Earth, leaving the position open to some new blood. Phil Coulson just needed a job to help him get back on his feet. He'd been through a lot over the past year and was just starting to finally get back into the swing of things since his recovery some odd months ago. Phil was an old buddy of the principle of the school, Director Nick Fury, who saw his plight as an advantage not only for Phil, but for the school. So here Phil was standing outside of his new classroom smiling as students rushed through the huge sea of people to get to their classes. It had been a while since he had an entire class to himself, years actually, but he needed to push himself a bit. After what happened, he needed a distraction and what better distraction than a bunch of unruly teenagers to keep you on your toes. Phil just wanted to feel normal again, like his old self. He was suddenly pulled from his thoughts as the late bell rang. As he turned to go into his room, he caught sight of something that made him stop, something unimaginably beautiful if he was being honest with himself. Across the hall was a petit Asian woman with dark brown hair that swayed around her shoulders, dressed in all black. She was such a vision that Phil had to push his glasses higher on his nose to stop them from falling off, as he was so floored by her beauty that his jaw dropped. The woman that so engulfed his mind was currently trying to kick the door stopper when she suddenly looked up, making eye contact with him. He didn't notice it, but he was staring at her causing her to give him a quick quirk of her lips before she turned to go back into her classroom, promptly shutting the door. Phil did the same once he got himself together.

Phil looked around his classroom, getting familiar with the faces of his pupils. They were all currently in their own worlds, talking with their friends and goofing off. He should have told them to be quiet, but he just wanted to take a moment to himself and enjoy the inexplicable elating feeling that welled up inside him. Although he was extremely nervous, he was excited just the same to be teaching again. Maybe the day wouldn't be the complete disaster h had imagined it to be.

A/N: I'm back again:) This all came to me kinda randomly and as I started writing this is what resulted. I didn't really know how to break down the acronym SHIELD, but as you can obviously tell I tried (more like struggled lol). I don't have a beta and I have gone through this, but if you see any mistakes or any corrections that need to be made please let me know. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
