Hiatus of SHIELD: Day 39
Now I really want to write a Young Prankster!May fic. The beauty of being behind means I can. This one's inspired by shieldhumanresourcesdept and memosfromfury. I kinda used some of your posts for this, so I thought you deserved some credit. -~- Melinda May's days as a junior agent on the Helicarrier were good ones. She was seen as a huge asset, due to her skills, which was just enough to get her a permanent seat on the flying boat until she became a full agent. They thought she was a model agent from the start. But, when she thought no one was looking, she pulled pranks. May quickly discovered Fury's memos that he posted daily about things that happened on the Helicarrier that irritated him and the memos that Hill sent out from the HR department. Both, instead of being threats, became challenges to her. She would hang up her favorite memos on the wall of her quaters. Including, but not limited to, The individual who has stolen my eyepatch is authorized to keep it. You will be needing it more than I do very shortly. -Director Fury All agents are reminded that my last name is spelled with one "r", not two. Whoever leaked the images from the Christmas party will be punished. -Director Fury All SHIELD agents are reminded that, unless you are eating in your assigned quarters or in the cafeteria, it is never peanut butter jelly time. Ever. The agent who attempted to make normal work hours into said time will be punished. - Agent M. Hill Whoever has returned my stolen eye patch should know that, while I apreciate you took the time to return it, I do not appreciate it being returned bedazzled and pink. I also do not respect the theft of all of my other patches. The former threat still stands. - Director Fury Any agent that is not working in the Tech department is not allowed to sneak in and teach any AI in said department to sing "Daisy", scream "Exterminate!", or fire lazers, lethal or non-lethal. A group of trainee agents had been visiting the department and one of them, namely Dr. Leo Fitz, nearly quit the program then and there. Dr. Jemma Simmons had to talk him down, but he is still on edge, along with many other agents. If we loose even one of our brightest minds due to this prank, the agent responsible will be tracked down and forced to stay in the room with the AIs until they are fixed. - M. Hill Her favorite, by far, was one that talked about her. Junior agents are reminded that Junior Agent Richards, while very good at Galaga, is not a good peer role model. Junior Agent May, though, is a perfect model. She is hardworking, quiet, and never pulls any of the goddamn pranks the group of you insist on pulling. - Director Fury To her, the memos were momentos from a job well done. The defining moment of her pranking career was one day, after another training session, another agent, not much older than herself, pulled her aside. "Melinda, I know you've been pulling the pranks," He told her. "And so do Barton and Romanoff. They told me to invite you to their secret prank group. Of course, if they approached you, it'd be conspicuous, so they sent me. Great job, by the way." She later learned the agent's name was Phil.
