This is by far the best exchange that I have done so far, and definitely the most fun!

My Santa began sending me messages as a "SHIELD Agent", and my handler. I played along as a rookie agent in training.

I finally discovered today that he was no SHIELD agent, but a disciple of the Red Skull and HYDRA!! A coded message and the words "Hail HYDRA"! When I went back to look at some old messages from them I discovered small clues that I never noticed. A tiny "Hail Hydra" is at the bottom of every one! And later messages you can even see subtle hidden writing. I will have to mess in Photoshop to adjust contrast and saturation levels to try and read it.

As for my gift: I got an awesome Coulson poster done in an old comic books style design, 2 SHIELD Landyards, and several comic books staring Avengers characters.

Thank you so much to my "Handler", even if you are HYDRA!
