Peggy Carter blinked heavily as her eyes tried to focus themselves. Surveying her surroundings she knew exactly where she was. Peggy looked at her reflection in the tinted glass and gave a heavy sigh. The interrogating chambers of the SSR. Surprisingly she's never been permitted on this end of the screen. Memories flashed before her eyes as she recalled the events leading to her hand handcuffed to the table. Rage bubbled inside her, not for the SSR capturing her, not for Dottie drugging her, not for Angie getting dragged into this; but for not realizing the Russian sleeper spy was across the hall from her the entire time.
As her eyes adjusted to the lighting she saw what was in front of her. A picture of her in a blonde wig and the container with Steve's blood. However nothing compared to the dread in her heart when she saw what was behind the evidence; Agent Sousa. Eyes locked for a brief moment in steely gaze.
"Ms. Carter", he said. Not Agent Carter or Peggy but Ms. Carter. As if distancing himself from the suspect. "I trust we won't have to do the carrot demonstration."
"I'll cooperate, and you'll see what a huge misunderstanding this is." She replied trying to keep her voice from shaking.
Out of the Shadows Jack stepped forward. "Three Agents in the hospital is no 'misunderstanding'. But we caught you in the end." He finished with a smirk.
"You didn't catch me"
"I beg to differ", said Jack.
"The Russian spy kissed me- I mean drugged me." Stuttered out Peggy still recovering.
Sousa leaned forward. "Let's pretend we believe you. Continue".
"I made arrangements to leave the city when I passed Dottie in the hallway. She stole my lipstick, probably when I was in Russia, and kissed me."
"Hold on. She? She kissed you? Well that does explain a lot."
Peggy ignored jack's remark and tried to continue.

Behind the glass Agent Ramirez thinks out loud "That still doesn't explain why she fainted"
"She was probably scared", stated Chief Dooley.
"No." Replied Ramirez. "I fought beside her in Russia. Nothing fazes her. If she didn't flinch at a shower of bullets she wouldn't pass out because this"
"Look into this Dottie girl" said Dooley

"Anyway when she kissed me the drug made me pass out"
"When did she administer the drug?" Questioned Daniel.
"I told you when she kissed me. It was in my lipstick." Peggy began subtly testing her bounds. She hadn't picked a lock in a very long time and was dearly hoping she wasn't out of practice.
"What I would give to have seen that kiss" Jack said at the same time as David asked "What were you doing with that lipstick in the first place?"
She chose to only respond to the latter. "It's good to have some armor. Anyway the proof that she's a spy will be in her wrist and on the bed post. The girls are conditioned to shackle themselves to their bedpost before sleeping"
Peggy felt good getting that off her chest. She couldn't bear the thought of the SSR thinking they caught her on their terms. It's the Damn Russians. It's always the damn Russians.
"Now to my next question", said Daniel. "What is this?"
