Moneypenny found M at the range in the bowels of MI-6 headquarters, taking out her frustrations on a man-shaped target.

"Pretending it's Mr. Bond, sir?"

"I can't believe I made him 007." M's voice was icy with suppressed rage. "That arrogant mass of testosterone -- what was I thinking? "

Moneypenny opened her mouth to defend the decision, then shut it again as M sent the target downrange to fifty meters.

"It's not just that I gave him 00-status. I had to make him 007." M put a tight grouping of shots into the target. "I gave him my old number."

Ha, yes! I have wanted M's 00 backstory for years. Love it.

Thanks! Sometime when I have time for more than 100 words, I may write some of her previous adventures.

...M as the a previous 007...BRILLIANT

[were-lemur.livejournal.com]

Thanks! (It makes sense, though. You'd want someone with hands-on experience for the managerial role.)
