I kept getting sidetracked with other ideas for further on in the story and just had to write those down on a separate document!

Previously on White Phoenix:

"Bucky got real quiet and looked at me. I looked into his eyes and saw a ton of emotions flash across his face. There was resolve, anger, pain, and something else that I couldn't identify. I quirked my head to the side in thought and realized that Bucky was still holding my hand in his. I didn't want to say anything but I cleared my throat and shifted so I was leaning away from him a little bit. He looked down at our hands and slowly released mine from his, and also shifted away a little bit. I heard a small cough come from the front seat and I saw Cpt. Rogers give a knowing smile in our direction. I could feel my cheeks warming up and knew that I was blushing. I turned my body away from Bucky and stared out the window the remainder of the ride."

Before I knew it we were at the town and clambering out of the vehicle. I trailed along behind Agent Carter as she headed towards the nearest store. I noticed that Bucky and Cpt. Rogers were both walking behind us, and that their eyes were darting all around. Do they expect us to be attacked out in the open? Hydra wouldn't do that would they?

"Hailey come in here with me," said Agent Carter. I looked around me and saw that we were in a tailoring shop. I raised my eyebrow towards Agent Carter and in response she said, "We're going to have to get your measurements before we can pick out appropriate clothing for you to wear on the base." I nodded my head in agreement and followed Agent Carter to the rear of the store.

An employee walked up towards us and started talking to Agent Carter. I slowly started scanning the clothing around the shop. I saw a medium length pink dress off to the side and after looking at it gave a small smile. Shit this dress would be perfect for Lizzie. It's just her style.

"Hailey come over here. We need to get your measurements." I walked over towards Agent Carter and the tailor. I let the tailor walk around me and take my measurements before she shooed me into a dressing room to try on the mountain of clothing she had just handed me. I hurriedly went through the pile of clothes, and picked out certain items I wouldn't mind wearing, but put down brighter colored outfits. Shit I need to blend in…Darker and more muted colors are more my style anyways. I sighed and grabbed the clothes that had passed my inspection and carried them out towards where Agent Carter was standing.

"Agent Carter these are the clothes that I figured would work best for me and my style. Honestly I don't need a ton of outfits. Just enough for one week," I stated.

"Oh please Hailey. Call me Peggy. All my friends do and to be quite frank us females need to stick together."

I gave Peggy a smile and nodded my head in agreement. After my new clothing was paid for Peggy pushed me towards the changing room and mentioned that I may want to get changed into one of my new outfits. I let out another sigh and changed as fast as possible so that we could continue with our day, although instead of doing my hair up I just left it in its ponytail. Peggy and I walked outside the shop and saw Bucky and Cpt. Rogers standing off to the side. Once they saw us they both straitened up and met us halfway between the door and the vehicle. Bucky held open my door as I climbed in and I gave him a small half smile in thanks. We started back towards base when Cpt. Rogers spoke up.

"Colonel Phillips would like to see us when we get back to base. He decided what to do about Miss Johnson's situation."

My head shot towards Cpt. Rogers as he said that and I opened my mouth to ask a question when Cpt. Rogers interrupted me, "No Ma'am he didn't tell Buck or I what the decision was." I shuffled in my seat and slumped further in my seat. I felt something brush against my hand causing me to look down. I saw Bucky's hand sitting lightly on top of mine. I looked over at Bucky and noticed that he was looking out his window. Did he mean to do that? Or was it an accident? I chose not to bring attention to it, but I turned my hand so that my palm was facing up and gave Bucky's hand a small squeeze. When I went to pull my hand away from Bucky's he just clenched his hand not letting mine get away from his. I gave a small smile and kept quiet the rest of the way towards base.

As soon as we arrived back to the base we headed straight to headquarters. Peggy and Cpt. Rogers went in first to let Col. Phillips know that we were back from town, while Bucky and I trailed in behind but stayed near the front of the tent. Once we received the all clear we headed further in. We walked in and Col. Phillips motioned for us to take a seat in the chairs in front of his desk. Once we were all settled Col. Phillips started talking.

"Well Miss Johnson as I'm sure Captain Rogers has informed you I have come up with a plan of action for your situation. Considering the circumstances, we can't send you back to the States, and it's too dangerous to let you remain here full time. So, I'm proposing that you join the Howling Commando's with Captain Rogers and Sargent Barnes here. The Commando's are all heading to London here in a few days. We'll put you through some military training while you're here on base and some more covert training with Agent Carter at a later point in time. Your trainer here will be whichever Commando is free at that moment in time and also dependent on what their best ability is. Take for example Sargent Barnes. He's the resident sniper and an expert marksman, so he would handle all your weapons training. Private Morita is the resident medic and he would handle all your medical training. Eventually you'll figure out each of the Commando's skills. Any questions?"

I sat there dumbfounded and mulled over his words. As I was thinking I realized that Colonel Phillips must've had no plan to try to get me back to my own time and world, and I could feel my anger starting to rear its head. If Lizzie were here she would be trying to calm me down and prevent me from doing something stupid, but unfortunately, she's not. My head snapped up to glare at Colonel Philips and I said, "So you have no idea or plan on how to possibly return me to my own time then. You just expect me to roll over and do everything you want. I refuse to tell you what the future holds! I won't risk the timeline from getting all fucked up!" As I was talking my voice got steadily louder until I was clearly yelling. At the end of my short rant I was breathing hard and glaring directly at Colonel Phillips.

Colonel Phillips stood up from his chair and towered over me, "Miss Johnson as long as you are on MY base you will do as your told. You currently fall under MY jurisdiction and as such you will adhere not only to a military standard but to a standard a woman in your position must."

I jolted out of my seat and glared even harder, "I am not one of YOUR soldiers Colonel. Not only that, but you need to remember I am from the 21st Century. That is a century in which not ONLY do woman hold prestigious jobs, but we ALSO serve in combat with men. I will not ALLOW you to talk down to me like I'm some silly little girl who doesn't understand things. NOW I will go along with your ridiculous idea, but only because I have LITERALLY no one else to turn too."

At that I turned on my heel and headed out of the tent. From behind me I heard Colonel Phillips shout out something, but I ignored him and continued walking. I headed straight towards Peggy's tent and sat on the empty cot across from hers. I put my head in my hands and groaned once I realized that I had let my anger get the best of me. The tent flap was pushed back letting light stream into the tent and I saw Peggy standing there.

I looked up at her and sighed, "Well Peggy how much trouble am I in?"

Peggy gave me a smile and said, "None actually. Colonel Phillips was too surprised to do anything but shout out a time for you to begin your training tomorrow morning, which by the way is 0500 hours."

I let out a groan and flopped back onto the cot in the most unladylike way possible. "Great. Just great. I'm so fucked. Who's in charge of my training tomorrow morning Peggy?"

"Captain Rogers offered to be your first trainer. Well him and Sargent Barnes both. The Captain will be in charge of your physical fitness and Sargent Barnes will be in charge of your weapons training. They're going to push you hard, I hope you know that."

I closed my eyes and sucked in a deep breath, slowly releasing it as a way to handle my frustration and anger. "Okay I should be able to handle that. Hopefully. I'm not sure. Peggy how do you do it? How do you put up with all the shit from the men about a woman knowing her place?" As I said this I scrunched up my face in disgust.

Peggy looked at me and laughed, "Well to be honest I earned my place. The last guy who said something about me knowing my place got knocked down to the ground by me."

I let out a laugh and said, "Wait that was Private Hodge, right? Back when Captain Rogers was in basic training in Jersey?"

Peggy let out a small gasp and said, "You know I don't think I'll ever get used to the fact that you know things about us that most others don't."

I gave her a small shrug of my shoulders in a halfhearted attempt for an apology of knowing something that I shouldn't.

"Oh well it doesn't matter Hailey. Just be careful what you mention around other people. Keep it to things you would only know from being here. Either way we should be heading off to bed. I will also be getting up early to help oversee others soldiers training."

I nodded my head and crawled off the cot to my trunk placed at the end of it. I sifted through it until I found some sleepwear that was purchased earlier that day. I slipped into it then quickly made up the cot and crawled under the scratchy Army issue blanket and settled my head down onto the pillow that was given to me by Peggy. I closed my eyes and swiftly found myself drifting off into sleep.
