Hello everyone! This is my new story and I am super excited to share it with you! I got this idea from my best friend and The Assimilation Trials Roleplay Forum! If RPing is your thing, go check it out! This story will be in the Captain America file until I feel I can put it in the crossovers :)

Peggy Carter wasn't a typical, everyday woman. She was determined and she fought long and hard to give women the rights they deserved. At least, what she believed they deserved. The English woman walked into the cafe as she usually did, sat in the booth beside Mr Jarvis' booth, with her back to him, like they usually did. Mr Jarvis glanced back at her before looking ahead, "Mr Stark is talking about sending us to Germany," he said as Peggy nodded.
"Yes, that's what he was saying. Did he say why?" Peggy asked and folded her hands in her lap.
"Apparently there's something peculiar going on. Something about mutants?" he replied, glancing downward but in Peggy's direction.
"Why would you and I need to go?" Peggy asked, "to investigate? Don't they have people there to do that?"
"Yes, but Mr Stark felt you were the only one qualified for a task like this. It's very odd," Jarvis replied in a slight click of his tongue, "besides, Mr Stark trusts you."
Peggy nodded shortly, "I'm sure he does. I did help him regain his name. Where will I be meeting him?"
"His mansion, seven o'clock tomorrow night," he stated, "shall I pick you up?"
"That will not be necessary, I will just phone a cab," Peggy assured her partner and folded her arms as the waitress brought over a cup of coffee for her. Peggy took it graciously and sipped it, "besides, I promised Angie I would go out with her tonight."
Mr Jarvis nodded as he flipped his book open and skimmed through it, "that sounds lovely. I hope you have a wonderful time," he said.
Peggy smiled softly and nodded, "I will, thank you Mr Jarvis."
"Of course, Miss Carter," Mr Jarvis smiled.
"What is this about this time?" Peggy Carter came into the very decorative dining room of Mr Stark's mansion in her silver evening dress. She gently brushed the hair on her shoulder onto her back as Howard Stark put his hand on her lower back to escort her to a seat as Peggy sat down.
"I had someone inform me of an… inhuman who had been causing issues for them," Howard informed as he sat down in front of her as waiters came around and served appetizers
"Inhumans? Like, what Whitney Frost? And you are wanting me to go there and find this inhuman?" Peggy asked as she held a fork and mindlessly poked at her appetizer as she looked at Howard.
"Yes, like Miss Frost but not exactly. And I am wanting you to find the inhuman, but not alone," Howard explained, "Jarvis and I will be going as well. We cannot have you going alone."
"Yes, that would be preferred," Peggy nodded as she leaned back and met his eyes.
Howard nodded and looked down at his appetizer and began to eat. Peggy sat there silently, admiring decoration in the dining hall as she relived the moments with Whitney Frost and what all happened there.
"Peggy, is there something on your mind?" Howard asked, noting her silence and untouched appetizer.
Peggy frowned, "no, absolutely not," Peggy promised and started eating again. She had far too much on her mind. When the main course came by, the pair had eaten in silence, just savoring the sweet, honey ham and fluffy mashed potatoes and bread rolls that were scorching hot to the touch. Peggy ate the food and savored it, washing it down with a glass of red wine Howard provided for her. He knew she had a liking for the drink and it was the one drink she would always have, besides water.
When the meal was finished, Peggy turned down the dessert and Howard nodded, standing and leading her to the study. He pulled a book off the shelf, where he had cut through the pages to hide papers. What these papers entailed, she had no clue but she was okay with that because she could only assume that it was for the mission. Peggy stepped over and stood beside Howard as he handed her papers for her to look at.
Peggy studied the papers and thought for a moment, "this is who we are looking for?" she assumed and showed him a picture of a middle-aged man with a round jawline and piercing blue eyes. His lighter brown hair was smoothed back and his forehead formed slight wrinkles when lifted.
"Yes, Erik Lehnsherr," Howard said to her and lifted the picture to reveal the same man with his hands raised and metal flying, "and he is a mutant."
Peggy frowned slightly, "how is that…"
"We do not know," Howard interrupted and slightly glanced over at her as he looked back down to put the photos back and handed her the book, "many scientists were unable to get even a blood sample," he replied, "it's either something similar to what Steve Rogers had or it was already there," Howard explained and tilted his head, "if we can even get a small sample, that will hopefully be plenty. And we can test it and-"
"How do you plan on getting it?" Peggy questioned and held the book against her chest as she traced her finely-manicured nails over the cover gently, "if he is unstable or even hostile, would it not be harder to get the sample?"
"Miss Carter, that's why you are going," he said, "gain his trust and get a sample. It mustn't take that long."
Peggy looked him over and exhaled as she nodded, "give me some time to think about it," she told Howard, "I'm not sure if-"
"You have two weeks," Howard told her, "I must know by then."
"Give me one," Peggy replied.
"Are you crazy?!" Angela Martinelli demanded as she poured Peggy a cup of coffee, just the way Peggy liked it, "you mean to tell me you are leaving to Germany to seduce a man to get a sample of his blood?" she asked, putting a hand on her hip.
Peggy shook her head, "I mean to tell you, I am leaving for Germany to earn a man's trust and get a sample of his blood."
"English, you're basically saying the same as him taking your virginity," the woman huffed, "you're still a virgin, right?"
Peggy looked at her best friend, "Angie, we may be best friends but what I do in my love life has nothing to do with you!"
"Oh my word, you aren't!" she laughed and Peggy couldn't help but laugh.
"I never said that," Peggy retorted, "I have been in two relationships," she informed Angie, "That is all I will say. And I'm quite happy right now. So don't be playing matchmaker," she chuckled.
Angie gave a mischievous smirk, "aren't you still with that one guy, Daniel Sousa?" she said, turning on her heel to take care of more orders.
"Yes, we are still together," she replied and let out a breath.
"How is he taking the news that you're going to Germany?" Angie tilted her head and put a hand on her hip.
"I was actually going to tell him tonight over dinner," she admitted, "I don't know how he'll take it. I'm sure he'll understand."
"He is a good guy," Angie agreed solemnly, "he doesn't seem like the jealous type."
"Daniel isn't," Peggy shook her head, "I just hope this will go over well."
"You're what?" Agent Daniel Sousa looked up from his well-done steak, a shocked expression read on his face.
"Mr Stark requests my company to investigate an inhuman in Germany," Peggy replied, "I think I am going to do it. He will need my help."
"And what exactly will you be doing?" Daniel inquired as he cut his steak open and ate a piece before looking up at his girlfriend, expectantly.
"I have to gain his trust," Peggy replied, "get him to trust me and get the blood sample."
Daniel sighed and looked down before up at his girlfriend, "that's not you, Peg. I don't advise it."
Peggy considered his words, she really did. She simply nodded, "thank you Daniel. But I must do this. If this man is capable of what I think he is, it would be better if I did this," she said after a moment.
Daniel nodded, "why am I not surprised," he sighed to himself, "take care of yourself, okay?"
Peggy smiled, "I will, Daniel."
"Miss Carter, are you ready?" Jarvis asked, moving to grab her bags. Peggy simply nodded and smiled.
"As ready as I'll ever be, Mr Jarvis," she replied and tried to help Jarvis with her bags, but Jarvis shook his head and pushed her away.
"I've got the bags," he told her, "just board the jet. Mr Stark is waiting," he said as Peggy simply nodded and murmured a "thanks" before going to the jet and sat down across from Howard Stark.
"You ready to do this?" Howard asked and smiled a little.
Peggy nodded, "I was born ready, Mr Stark."
Howard nodded, giving the pilot the all clear as Jarvis had come in and sat down, pulling out a magazine for his reading pleasure. Peggy sat neatly in her chair and clasped her hands in her lap as the jet took off and they were on their way to Germany.
