Ok well first off I cannot tell you guys how sorry I am for not updating. The reason being is that my Wi-Fi chip for my laptop finally gave out and I ended up waiting an entire month before the company that my computer was built by sent the chip because they wanted to go through every other solution possible, which didn't work. I would tell them it did not work and then they called me when I was not available to talk. First they tried updating the software…didn't work. Then they deleted the software and re-downloaded it…didn't work. Then they restored my computer…didn't work. Finally they just sent a guy with the new chip to replace it ad guess what!? It works! Sooooooo onto Chapter 7.
*Peggy POV*
I briskly walk out of the training room. I have no idea where I am going but I just keep walking until I run into Mr. Jarvis.
"Pardon me Ms. Carter but where is the danger?" he asks with a small smile on his face before noticing that I was not in the mood and cleared his throat.
"The danger is in the lab right now," I said without meaning to.
"In the lab?" Mr. Jarvis asks with a sigh, "If this is one of Mr. Stark's inventions, I can assure you that-"
I cut him off, "It's Howard."
"I beg your pardon?" Mr. Jarvis asks, flustered.
"Do you not remember Howard's bargaining chip that he planned on using for his immunity?" I asked Mr. Jarvis.
He pondered for a minute until the realization hit him, "The last vial of Mr. Rodgers' blood."
"Yes," I said, "And I am afraid that Howard will try to trick Steve into giving him tons of vials."
"I am sorry Ms. Carter," Mr. Jarvis said sadly, "But this mission I cannot help you with."
"Mr. Jarvis," I said with a sigh, "All I need from you is a warning. A warning if you hear Howard talk about it at all."
"I will see what I can do," Mr. Jarvis said before walking away.
I sighed. I should get back to the training but maybe a cup of coffee with Angie will help clear my mind further. I grabbed my hat and made my way out the door and into one of Howards cars before driving away and into the city. Luckily there was a spot right in front of the diner and I swiftly took it. Walking in I could see Angie overwhelmed again with customers. Her boss really needs to hire more staff.
I take a seat at my usual booth and give Angie time to notice me. It's a few minutes till she finally comes around.
"Sorry," she said pulling out a pad, "We are really packed-"
She stops when she notices it's me.
"Well English I didn't expect to see you here today," she said sliding into the booth, "Thought you were busy training."
"I was but I just needed a break," I told her.
"Well you couldn't have come at a worse time," Angie said right before a customer started yelling for her.
She rolled her eyes, "Excuse me for a moment."
She got up and refilled the man's coffee, as well as a few other patrons and came back over.
"Men these days," Angie said rolling her eyes before plopping down in the booth again.
I chuckled at her.
"So I was thinking of trying to get out early so that I can see those lovely men train," Angie said blushing a little.
"And how do you plan on doing that?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Like this," Angie said getting up and coughing really loudly and walking around behind the counter.
Every man she passed covered their food as to keep her from contaminating it. Before long Angie's boss came out to see what was going on.
"Angie!" her boss yelled, "What are you doing?"
"I wasn't feeling good this morning," Angie said coughing again, "I think I have the flu!"
"I don't want to get sick!" one patron screamed.
"I she will spread it to everyone," another one yelled.
"Angie get out of here before you send away all my customers!" her boss yelled, "And don't come back until you are well!"
Angie smiled triumphantly before grabbing her purse, throwing aside her apron and running out the door with me. I go to the car, getting a look from Angie, before she climbs in too and I speed off back to Stark's mansion. When we walk back into the house Howard is walking past the front door and looks past us and sees his car right outside.
"Did you take my car?" he asked, his eyes bugging out of his head.
"Yes," Angie said walking past him and towards the gym.
"Peggy!" Howard whined, "What did I say about using my cars!"
"Anytime I wanted if I would go and get fondue with you," I replied following after Angie.
"But you never did," I heard him yell after me.
I chuckled and continued till I heard the sounds of grunting and bodies hitting the floor hard. When I walked into the gym, Steve and the 'Avengers' moved onto their own stations that they were making before I left to get the SSR agents. Steve was still on the mats with Natasha, Clint was teaching snipping and bow and arrows, and just shooting in general, Skye along with Banner, who must have taken a break from the labs, were doing some meditation, Wanda was letting some lab agents study her powers, and Tony was flying around in his suit and showing some agents how it works. The best part was when I looked over to where the hunk of a god and Vision had a line of SSR agents who were trying to lift his hammer.
"Only those who are worthy may lift up the hammer," a voice came from behind me.
I reacted immediately and swung around to land a punch but my fist was stopped by a hand.
"Nice form," Clint said, "Just a little too slow."
"How did you?" I asked looking back to where the shooting range was and back to Clint.
"I'm just that awesome," Clint said grabbing some water in the fridge that was behind me.
"That's an overstatement," Natasha said making Steve laugh.
I just stared at him. I have never seen him laugh like that before, so carefree. Then again we were in the middle of a war.
All of a sudden there was a loud beeping noise.
"Guys!" Tony said stepping out of his suit and looking at his watch, "We have made contact."
"Agent Thompson can you please bring the agents back to headquarters and I will update you later," I said following after Steve and the others.
When we reached the labs Tony went straight to this weird looking contraption and started hitting buttons until something like a movie screen popped up.
*Skye POV*
The screen flickered to life and Pepper's face appeared in the screen.
"Pepper!" Tony yelled out.
When there was no response Tony called out again, "Pepper!"
"Banner!" Tony yelled running around, "Help me fix the sound!"
While Tony tried to fix the sound, we realized that we must have been on Pepper's phone because soon we found ourselves with a close up of Pepper's ear.
"Ah ha!" Tony said plugging in a cord.
Then the sound came on.
"Happy?" Pepper asked, "Happy are you there?"
"Pepper!" Tony yelled.
There was a shriek at the other end of the line and the screen became a blur until we found ourselves looking up at the ceiling.
"Tony?" Pepper asked as she picked up the phone.
"Pepper thank goodness you are ok," Tony said relieved.
"Tony I thought you all were dead!" Pepper said starting to cry.
"Pepper it's ok," Tony said starting to tear up, "We are ok."
"Where are you all?" Pepper asked trying to calm herself down.
"That's the problem," Tony said, "It's more like when are we."
Chapter 7 completed! WOOOOO!
