Summary
As a child, Phil Coulson was vaccinated against whooping cough. In one version of the story, the vaccination held and he went on to become Agent Coulson, SHIELD bad-ass and Avengers liaison. In another, though, he was one of the few the vaccine doesn't protect and he nearly died when he was ten, suffering permanent lung damage and recurrent asthma. This is the story of what happened after that.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Rod closed the deal and dug out his cell phone. He tapped in the number and frowned. It didn’t connect.
‘I’m afraid your phone isn’t working properly, Mr. Norsky,’ Cole said.
His voice sounded odd and when Rod glanced up, he didn’t even look the same. The flush and awkwardness were gone, and Rod was being stared down by a pair of calm, steely eyes. With a cold feeling in his gut, Rod figured he was in some deep shit.”
—Good shift from Cole to Coulson
“Agent Coulson’s face stayed impassive, but something about him revealed his amusement. Frankly, it was terrifying.”
—Good reminder that something usually described positively (with fondness, attraction, etc) from Clint’s POV would be evaluated very differently from almost anyone else.
