It all started because Victoria complained about the chimney.
Well, technically it was John complaining originally, but the all had been drinking, bemoaning the fact that they had elected to remain at the academy for the holidays.
One thing had led to another, and soon enough Victoria took up the helm, going on and on about how it wasn't properly going to be Christmas since it didn't snow in California (among many other problems).
"We don't even have a chimney," she had said in this lofty and betrayed tone, as though that was one the thing that would ruin their Christmas, the fact that the SHIELD Academy was not equipped with a proper chimney.
Which was why Christmas Eve, Melinda was scaling the walls of the SHEILD Academy dorms, dressed in a 'slightly slutty' (Maria's word's not hers) Santa costume that had been, expertly decorated (Jasper's words and handiwork) with chimney soot.
Really it was the principal of not being able to back down from a challenge, unspoken or not, that led her to this, but she was going to blame Victoria.
She opened the dorm window from the outside, before slipping into her girlfriend's dorm room, and Victoria who had been lounging on her bed pretending to be studying, didn't even both to get up into some semblance of those defensive positions that their training had taught them, instead just look up at the window and says, "what the fuck are you wearing?"
"You're supposed to be surprised."
"Somebody might have ruined the surprise accidentally, though they didn't meant that you'd be dressed as a dirty Ms. Claus," she says, somehow making the word dirty sound like an insult and the biggest innuendo in the world.
Victoria Hand really was something special.
"It's soot," Melinda says, "from the chimney."
It takes her a second before it all clicks, and suddenly she's laughing, "you mean the chimney that we don't have?"
"That would be it."
She laughs again, "well, I would give you a victory kiss for having such attention to detail, but you're dirty and these are really nice pajamas. However, congratulatory shower sex could definitely be on the table."
