A/N: I would like to dedicate this chapter to Mclaughlin who urged me to really get writing again. I've been so busy with school I never have time to even write! However summer is quickly approaching which means that I will have time to sit down a write until I can no longer feel my little fingers!

She looked around the room in wonder, thinking to herself quietly about what the strange man had told her. She hadn't know that ever coming back was possible. After the issue with Leviathan, Howard had come to her saying that he had the solution to all her problems. Without her knowledge, he had cloned her. The new Peggy was just like her, and harbored all the same memories as she did. New Peggy's feelings were pre-programmed and were automatic but didn't affect the actual woman.
I was actually looking forward to my date with Daniel... Peggy thought. How did I survive all this time? Peggy looked up to the man who wore opaque glasses even in the dark and voiced her questions, "Has this ever happened before? Are any of them left? Of course other than my cloned self?"
Peggy had asked the few questions that they were all dreading to hear. "Nickson" bowed his head reluctantly, thinking to himself if he should answer her inquiries. He looked over to Coulson and nodded. Agent Coulson came up to the young woman and said, "This has never happened before-the cloning- that is. We have no idea how Stark was able to conduct something that most modern scientists haven't been able to figure out. Cloning has only ever been successful in animals and even then they don't live to their full age. It is completely astounding to see that your clone is still alive and in her 90's. You have family. Children, grandchildren, a single great grandson, and even a grand-niece who used to work for SHIELD, the organization you helped found. Her name is Sharon Carter and is currently working in the CIA. I think you would be very proud. As for your friends, you already know that Howard died a few decades ago, but you barely missed your friend and former roommate Angie. She died last Saturday in her sleep. I will like you to know that she lived a very happy life and was survived by 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. As for the Howling Commandos, only 2 are still living. They are the 2 that you would never expect either,"
Peggy nodded her head as if urging him to continue.
"Miss-Agent Carter, are you sure you really want to know?"
"Of course I want to know," she said. "Do you think I'm mad?"
"Definitely not, however, I think that you will consider us mad once you've heard the rest of this very long, seemingly never-ending, interesting, confusing, and unbelievable story." Coulson replied smoothly.
"I've seen too much to ever be surprised again." she retorted.
Fury smiled, "I bet you ten dollars that I can definitely surprise you."
"Fair deal," the young woman shook hands with himself.
"The only two to have survived are Bucky Barnes and Captain Steve Rogers."
Peggy sat there, her mouth agape, as the world came crashing down upon her. She had so many questions, that only time and patience could answer.
"But... how is this possible? Bucky died over 70 years ago when he fell off of that train, never to be found. And... Steve... Steve crashed into the ice and died... Oh did Howard really find him like he said he would? Or did he die trying?"
Peggy rambled on and on until they were finally able to calm her.
"Agent-"
"It's Peggy sir"
"Right, Peggy..." Fury said, as if tasting the foreign concept of a first name on his tongue. " Four years ago, Captain Rogers was discovered trapped in the ice and completely preserved. I had sent my team down there to retrieve him so that he could be given a proper burial and lay amongst some of his other friends. But when we began defrosting him, we realized that he was still alive. The serum kept the blood coursing throughout his veins as the ice preserved his body and the impact kept him a comatose state. After his discovery, he has become the leader of a new team of superheroes called the Avengers. His new team includes Howard Stark's son Tony, who rides around in a metal suit and goes under the name Iron Man, a man with serious anger issues who when angered turns into a large, green, beast, a demi-god called Thor who just so happens to have a hammer that can only be wielded by those deemed worthy, a master marksman who's preferred weapon is a bow and arrow, and a Russian woman with major trust who is a master spy and assassin and has lived a horrid childhood and helped him take down a compromised SHIELD while fighting off demons from her past. And it just keeps growing. Bucky Barnes had been found by the KGB, the very same people who created Natasha, the only woman on the team, and he became her trainer. He was brainwashed relentlessly until he was given over to Hydra who completely disfigured his memories. That didn't end until last year. Since then, he has remember Steve and even Natasha and has become a very welcome member of the team. The Avengers now includes 2 geniuses, a demi-god, 3 super soldiers, and 2 ex-military marksmen."
Peggy sat there in awe of what she had just heard, "I think I owe you ten bucks now..."
Coulson chuckled lightly, "In our line of work, there are always surprises."
"I can see that," she replied in a daze. "What were you saying about 3 super soldiers? I thought Steve was the only one."
"After Steve went under, the world got a lot crazier as people started to try to recreate the serum. Bucky was injected with Hydra's version while Natasha was injected with the Red Room's version. She lived through the same thing that you saw while on your little trip to Russia with the SSR. However, she was the only girl to survive the serum injections and became the infamous and ruthless Black Widow until she defected about 15 years ago."
"15 years ago? How old is she?"
"Officially, she was born on November 22, 1945 but we changed the year to 1984 making her 30. Still, she looks younger than that. However, Captain America had not been found yet so the idea of a person looking so young begin so old was foreign,"
"When can I see them?" She asked eagerly.
"Very soon, Peggy," Nick said. "Very soon."
