Okay, there's going to have to be a bit of follow the bouncing ball going on here. I wrote a fic which encompasses all twelve of these espionage terms. Don't worry, I'll link to the next part of the series at each drabble, and I will also have it posted in its entirety at AO3 and eventually at my personal journal.
The espionage term is referenced in some way in the drabble.
Title is taken from It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by R.E.M.
Warnings (for the whole series): minor violence and swearing
***
Natasha sits down at the computer, while Clint stands guard. Getting into the party was easy enough, and they had simply acted like a drunk couple looking for privacy while entering the target’s home office. SHIELD had done an excellent job with their covers. She and Clint are posing as a couple who are prospective new clients of the man they’re getting information from. Their target’s a budding arms dealer with a side business in human trafficking. SHIELD found out about him, and wants to take him down, which is why they’re here. Natasha’s job is to access his computer system and take any information of value.
As she runs through the codes to access the computer’s hard drive, she thinks about this mission. She knows it’s the first mission she and Clint have been sent on solo, and her only thought is that it was about time. Clint had mentioned to her earlier in the safe house that he had thought she should have been off probation earlier, and she’d privately agreed. If she’d really wanted to destroy SHIELD, she could’ve done so without having a job in the organization.
Fic, World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs, PG 13, (12/12)

For now, it’s time to focus on the mission.
