Survival Tip # 13: Rookies are not in fact required to run makeshift hallway obstacle-courses-slash-death-traps as part of their training.

Chapter 4 Survival Tip #13

November 12, 2008

Location: Manhattan, New York

Random Unoccupied Hallway SHIELD HQ

"This is a bad idea, like a really bad idea." Jade's long-time friend Sebastian told her. Sebastian was three years older than Jade at 24 years of age, but they'd entered SHIELD at the same time. Thus, same clearance level and such. Sebastian was a Caucasian male with ebony dark hair and hazel eyes. He was of European descent British actually. The Blackwell family were quite wealthy and had several ties to some unsavory characters in the underground/black market in London. They were just now branching out to the U.S. establishing connections and the like. Sebastian's father Elias Blackwell was not only wealthy, but a rather influential man.

"Oh, relax Seb you worry too much. I mean how much trouble could we possibly get in really?"

"A lot of trouble, Jade what if one of them gets hurt or worse."

"Everything's under control we got this." Jade crossed her arms over her chest clipboard in hand real official like. A clipboard made everything official. She faced the four 'rookies' at the starting line to the obstacle course in the hallway, two seated in office chairs and two standing behind them ready to push. "Are you two ready?" She asked. She got two nervous nods from both seated rookies. "Alright. On your marks Get. Set. Go..." Jade held the stopwatch in her hand timing them.

The two pushing rookies, weaved their partners in and out of the various obstacles and traps with little success.

"Oh, my that's not good. Not good at all." Sebastian marveled at the mess, and pile of the four rookies at the other end of the hall.

Jade on the other hand could barely contain her laughter. "Oh...my...goodness. How can they be so gullible? I mean seriously. Indoor office chair races." Jade was clutching her side in stitches, it was really a spectacular marvelous hilarious sight to behold.

"And what my I ask are you two doing?" A voice boomed behind the two Field Agents.

Both managed not to jump on the spot, but both turned around to come face to face with the one and only Director Fury.

"Umm. Evasive maneuvers sir." Jade tried.

"Defense tactics." Sebastian piped up.

"Nice try you two but this is officially going on the bulletin this is last straw."

"Yes sir." Jade replied trying to look sheepish.

"We understand sir." Sebastian nodded in acknowledgement. He actually had the decency to look ashamed by his actions.

"Get this mess cleaned up and get those four to Medical ASAP." Fury told the two Field Agents sternly.

"Yes sir." Both replied. Fury nodded and turned to leave, a small smile gracing his lips as he left. What'll they honestly come up with next. Is beyond me.

"I told you this was a bad idea Jade. A bloody horrible idea." Sebastian groused as they both helped the four rookies hobble off to Medical to get checked out.

"Shut up Sebby you know you enjoyed it." Jade replied as she helped one of the female rookies get adjusted better under her weight. She'd taken a nasty tumble and landed next to a wall and looked to have a rather very broken leg.

Office chair obstacle races of death are a no go, but nobody said anything about wheelchairs. Jade thought to herself. A smile creeping onto her face at the ideas.
