Chapter Text
They were each sitting at their SSR desks everyone was on edge beacuse of a series of odd but highranking murders with no weapon or suspects, Chief Dooley had decided to assign the case to two agents to solve, meaning any agent anywhere was trying to get the case. It had been a long month since Peggy had broken up with Steve, she had told him he worried too much but really she was scared, scared of what would happen to their friendship but now she
had destroyed it and then buried herself in her work.
Suddenly the chief opened his door to announce who the two agents on the case were going to be."Right, Carter, Rogers and Barnes enjoy your new case." And then he turned back into his office.
"Agent Rogers may I have a word." As he strode toward the conference room and then whispered "Bucky you might need to interfere." as she walked past his desk. Steve got up and followed her ready for an argument.
"Agent Rogers I expect our personal... issues will not interfere with this partnership?" She said too calmly. He faked a laugh. "Of course Agent Carter but unlike everyone else I will make sure you don't work yourself to death on this case."
He was actually worried about Peggy's state of mind since they broke up, he had seen her get more reckless and thoughtless and it terrified him. Just as she opened her mouth to reply Bucky entered the room. "You two need to sort this problem out and you (He pointed to Peggy?)are not going to the factory alone tonight." With that he went back to his desk."What factory?" Asked Steve.
"A lead, a factory badge was found on the floor I'm going to investigate to save an argument I'm leaving at 9 and James has the address should you need it so goodbye Steve." Steve damn it that slipped, she thought, however he knew this was hope for the future.
That night Peggy was in gear and ready to fight.
She had just entered the factory when Steve came up behind her making her jump. "Agent Rogers." She stated. But all words died on her lips as she saw soldiers, in uniform, HYDRA uniform. "Peggy..." Steve whispered. But she was already moving toward them.
"Shit!" He said when he heard gunfire in her had taken down five of the seven agents when her heard Peggy cry out.
As he turned in her direction he heard a manic laugh, an all to familiar one. "Well if it isn't Captain America." That Red face was staring straight at him the same one he threw out of a plane over the atlantic. But the Redskull had Peggy in his arms with a gun to her head, suddenly Steve felt like dying. "Let her go!" He said. "Steve..." Whispered Peggy. "You see I am not done with you yet or your little agent here but I will leave you now, Goodbye." In one swift movement he had let go of Peggy and shot her in the shoulder. She crumpled to the floor.
"NOOOOOO!" Cried Steve as he rushed forward to catch -Skull had vanished.
