Summary
For over sixty years, the Supreme Headquarters, International Espionage, Law-Enforcement Division, better known as S.H.I.E.L.D., has remained obscured to the general public. An organization whispered among conspiracy theorists in the same breath of Operation Gladio, the Edgewood experiments, and the Xavier School. Then aliens attacked New York, led by a Norse God, and superheroes returned. Now, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Rick Jones offers the first definitive history of the origins of S.H.I.E.L.D. He tracks the progression of a wild idea of former SSR members to one of the most formidable, wide reaching, and strangest intelligence organizations ever seen.
Based on a wealth of new documents and interviews, filled with sometimes startling insights, Rick Jones gives us a dazzling look into the mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. He provides us an extraordinary look at key events of the early Cold War, and new insights for the early twenty-first century.

Summary
The year after Jack Abbot loses his wife (car accident, Charleston, pedestrian versus drunk driver) and his leg (car bombing, Fallujah, shrapnel tearing his blood vessels to shreds) he makes some very ill-advised decisions (car sex, Bethesda, with the woman who cut off his foot).
The latter of these things could probably be explained away as some sort of trauma response, forgotten or at least worked through with the VA assigned therapist who’s calls he’s resolutely ignoring. Except, that is, for one tiny thing. One tiny mistake that turns out, in the grand scheme of things, to be rather larger than they’d ever anticipated.
“Birth control.” Emery Walsh tells him gloomily, after she’s sat down gingerly on the edge of his admittedly kind of gross second-hand sofa and handed him a piece of white plastic emblazoned with two pink lines.
“Knew we’d forgotten something.”

Summary
Bob keeps watching her, though, the way he has been every day for the past three weeks, and he doesn’t miss how her tongue darts out to wet her bottom lip. It would be so, so easy. They’re already standing this close together. If he could just lean down and …
He couldn’t.
So instead, he clears his throat. “What about you? You were gonna say something?”
Natasha looks up at him with those big brown eyes, and Bob feels the ground fall out from under him. All his talk for chasing blue, and he finds himself lost in brown over and over again.
“I think I’m going to throw up.”
Oh!

"We,” Tav pointed a thumb back at Karlach and Shadowheart, “Were planning on shopping for new threads.”
Figaro clapped his hands. “Of course, I’d be more than happy to assist you! And I am of course willing to provide a very generous discount for saving me before. Do you have a budget in mind?”
“I was thinking around-” Tav stopped himself as he felt two glares pierce his back. “Ahem,” he coughed. “No budget.”
