Prologue
Nick Fury was sick.
This was something that rarely happened but when it did, any and all SHIELD agents who had the luxury stayed well away from him. For while Fury was a highly respected leader and father to his men and women, he turned into a complete child when he was ill.
Of course, nobody told him that as they were quite attached to their jobs (and their extremities). They didn't even whisper it behind his back and only a few very brave souls would dare even exchange knowing glances.
There was only one man who could handle Fury in this state: the unflappable Phil Coulson.
"How are we today, Sir?" he asked as he sat down beside Fury's bed.
"Horrible!" Fury growled back. "My head hurts. My throat hurts. My muscles hurt and the damned chef can't a decent bowl of soup to save his life!"
"I'm glad to see you're feeling better, Sir," Coulson replied.
Fury rolled his eyes and then focused on the book in Coulson's hand. "What is that?"
Coulson shrugged. "The Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern. My grandfather used to read it to me when I was sick."
"It sounds like a stupid romance," Fury sneered.
There was a short pause.
"Would you like me to read it to you, Sir?"
"Well, if you just going to sit there!"
