Disclaimer for entire Fanfic: I don't own any Cannon characters from MCU or X-Men that may appear. I only own my OC Jade Nguyen aka Scarlet (I know real original, I can't help it. If anyone can come up with a better codename let me know.)

A/N: Italics are character thoughts.

A/N: When I put level under the location, I mean Floor level, not security clearance level. Just thought I'd clear that up in case anyone was confused. Think I mentioned this in the last chapter but I'll mention it again just to be safe. I'm writing ficlets or one-shots about the rules that don't have the Avengers except Agent Barton and Romanoff. That's why you'll notice skips in the order, from now on.

Than when I get into mission ficlets and case file numbering it'll be different as well. There still will be a relative order to things.

Survival Tip # 7: If you purchase the last pack of donettes from the vending machine on Level 5, expect an exponential increase in your paperwork in the future. Agent Coulson doesn't mess around when it comes to snack food.

Read. Review. Enjoy.

Chapter 3 Survival Tip #7

August 23, 2007

Location: Manhattan, New York

Office of Agent J. Nguyen Lvl: 4

If there's two things Agent Nguyen has learned in her four years at S.H.I.E.L.D. so far it's 1. Don't mess with a senior Agent's coffee, and fill up the damn pot, and 2. Look up, beware of blonde archers with NERF weaponry. Who knew being an Agent of this fine organization there'd be so much paperwork. Lucky for Jade she was almost done with hers. She'd been at it most of the morning.

Jade was feeling a bit peckish she'd forgone lunch in favor of paperwork. She'd was about 3/4 of the way done with it. Jade needed a little pick me up, a sugar boost. Jade pushed back her leather backed desk chair and looked and the remains of her paperwork. Almost done, just need a little boost and I'll be done in no time.

Jade grabbed her wallet, and phone and headed up to up one floor to Level 5 where the best vending machine. Jade took the stairs to the next floor. It totally justifies my snack. She could almost already taste the powdery goodness of those mini donuts.

One of the flight of stairs down and she was that much closer to her little sweet treats. Jade walked up the vending machine with money in and looked at the selections. She put the money in and a minute later she walked away with her mini donuts in hand. Paying no mind to the fact she had taken the last package of donettes.

It was much later in the day now around the time she should be going home, but after her little excursion to the vending mission Jade had gotten dragged to a bunch of Rookie orientation seminars, and the like. She'd been surrounded by rookies and their dumb and idiotic questions all day. It was absolute torture.

All Jade wanted to do know was quickly finish up those last few reports and forms, and than she could be on her way for the night. Jade opened her office door and flicked on the light, and she about dropped the to go coffee cup she was carrying. On her desk was a mountain yes a literal mountain stack of paperwork.

"Oh for the love of God. Why?" Whoever did this I'm so going to give them a piece of my mind. There was note attached to the first top stack of paperwork.

- Were you not listening in that seminar this afternoon?

- Coulson

"Seriously. I'm gonna be here all night." Jade grumbled something else in Vietnamese and she read the bottom of the note.

P.S. Fury wants this done by 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Jade ripped up the note and tossed it in the nearby trash can. "I'm going to need a lot more coffee."

One all nighter done and dusted, paperwork completed in quadruplicate. Jade handed over her stack of paperwork to Director Fury's secretary.

"You took the last pack of donettes didn't you?" The secretary asked with a knowing smile. Jade wasn't the only person the secretary had seen before in this predicament.

Jade nodded and walked all the way back to her office. Once inside she found a single package of white powdered donettes. Man seriously loves his snack food. Like damn. Jade had a small smile on her lips.

Okay third thing she's learned while in her career at S.H.I.E.L.D. 'Don't mess with Agent Coulson's Hostess donettes, powdered or chocolate. There will be repercussions.'
