If she closed her eyes she could almost imagine it was the Steve she knew. If that was wrong she didn't care, she took that moment, it helped with the closure she'd been trying to get for years.
"I can't speak for what the Peggy you knew did, but I stayed with the S.S.R. till the end of the war. I transferred into the New York branch and was put to work code breaking while we tried to hunt down the last of Hydra. It wasn't ideal, I faced a lot of men who would rather I not have been there. I wasn't given field ops, I was even asked to fetch coffee." It had been insulting and demeaning but she'd stuck it through knowing they would have to let her do what she did best eventually.
"Howard got into some trouble, not the social kind this time, and was branded a traitor. He came to me for help and I knew it could not be true. I made it my night job to help him and find out what was really happening. So, let's see..disarm a bomb, save New York, earn the gratitude of one of the countries richest men and then back to serving coffee." It had been a thrill to be back in the field but her brief foray hadn't ended well.
"Oh yes, and then I was arrested for treason, completely false of course. Uncovered a program to raise and train young assassins in Russia, and got back to be treated like the office secretary and nearly fired." But that wouldn't have been so bad all things considered, she had more to offer than they were willing to use clearly so it was time to move on. "And that was when Howard called me about a job. New organization he was getting off the ground, and he wanted me to head it up." Her, not some man, but Peggy Carter, founder of SHIELD.
"We were just getting things started when I ended up here." Life had an odd way about it.
So much the same and so vastly different at the same time. His plane had crashed but at least he wasn't alone at the end, that was good..wait.. "If your plane went down, how are you here? What happened?"
