Damn, this keeps happening…

A/N: As I said not beta-ed so there's probably lots of misspells, sorry. Anyway, hope you like it. :)

All SRR agents were gathered in the conference room, as Jack was informing them about new intel on Leviathan. The purpose of the meeting was to built a team who will go over Russia once again and stop leviathan once and for all. Jack was giving all the info to the team he would lead this mission, dispatching the agents with different roles.

The meeting ended after two long hours where every single detail had been considered. Agents started to leave the room. While the others left, Jack stayed behind organizing his notes and Peggy took the chance to have a private talk with him. She waited for all of the men to exit the room and then walked over to Jack.

"May I request, why I'm not on the team, Chief Thompson?" Her tone was innocent but Jack knew it was all an act. She was at least mad about it.

"Since I won't be here for a few days, I need someone to be in Charge while I'm gone." He said looking at all his files spread on the table.

"In other words. You want me to do your paperwork."

"Not exactly." He stood up, taking his files with him. "Now if you excuse me…" He trailed off, walking towards his office. Once he reached it, he walked over the lateral file cabinet to put the files were they belonged.

"I need to get going. All you need to know is on my desk." He pointed.

He then he started to leave the room with Peggy still on his tale.

"I thought that I would be more useful on the field than at home doing paperwork." She argued walking by his side.

"Not this time Carter. You stay home." He said walking down the hall towards the locker room.

"Jack, why don't you let me go with you, I'm the most qualify for the Job." Peggy shout after him as they entered the Locker room.

"Because I need you to replace me while I'm away and you're the one that I trust the more for the job." He said opening his locker.

"Please, Daniel can take care of it. He's used to stay behind."

"I'm sure Daniel will love to hear that." He said starting unbuttoning his shirt. He then winced as he shrugged to take off his shirt.

"Stop being so stubborn!" She commanded, "And you shouldn't be going on this misson either, you still haven't recovered from your last injury. Your shoulder still hurts." She lectured him.

"Marge, I'm a grown man. I can take care of myself."

"What if you froze again on the field? Like last time? I won't be there to help you out." She added worried.

"Peggy." He stopped his undressing to meet her eyes. "I'll be fine." He then gave her what he hoped was a comforting smile. "Now, I need you to take charge of the SSR while I'm gone. The team can work it out without you on the field, you know?" He teased.

That earn a sighed from Peggy. "Don't pout about it." He said taking off his undershirt shirt. "There will be other opportunities for you to go on the field with us."

"Stop it. You you just want me to stay out of the danger like a damsel in distress." She rolled her eyes at his attitude. He gave her a serious look.

"Marge, you know very well that's not the truth."

"Then give me a good reason for not taking me with you to Russia." She crossed her arms defensively.

"You're abilities are not put into question, here. I know your value and I respect you as an Agent. Actually, you're the most capable agent that I know and the one I trust the most. That's why I want you to take my seat while I'm gone instead of another asshole." He admitted.

Peggy was taken aback by his last words. She didn't expect Jack to blurt out those kind of words with such honesty.

"Our relationship has nothing to do with it then?"

"Peggy you were very clear since the begining that our relationship couldn't affect our line of work or you would put an end to it." He recalled her. "I'm not crazy enough to risk it."

"And you can guarantee me that the reason i'm staying behind has nothing to do with the fact i'm a woman?" That earned her a nod from his behalf.

"Yes." He then look at the clock.

"Look, I gotta to hurry up but if you insist we can talk about it with deeper thoughts when I'll came back, alright sweetheart?."

As soon as he said that his locker's door slammed shut almost chopping off his fingers. He stared eyes wide open with surprised at the locker.

"Don't you dare sweetheart me, Jack Thompson." If glares could kill, he'd be already dead laying on the floor. But Jack being Jack, he was a reckless man. He flashed his eyebrows at her.

"Oh Yeah? Or what?" He smirked. Peggy narrow her eyes, her index pointing at his chest.

"Oh you don't want to play that game…" She warned, poking his chest with her finger.

"What game?" He said, stepping closer, his lips drawing closer to hers. In seconds he had her pinned against the lockers, both arms imprisoning her.

"Don't start what you can't finish." She breath hardly, eyeing his lips with greed. His only reply was kissing her, knocking out all air from her lungs. His tongue pressing to the seam of her lips, wanting her to grant him the access to her mouth. His hands drifted to her hips, pulling her closer.

Peggy inhaled sharply, a fire was consuming her from the inside and as it would spread throughout her entire body. It still amazed her how easily Jack could make her body sparkle with need. He was like a drug that she was so addicted to.

"I thought, you were in a hurry." She said when he left her lips. His nose was nuzzling her hair, inhaling her scent that he would miss while he'd be gone. He wanted to remember every small detail of her, so that he wouldn't miss her as much as he thought while he was away.

He hated to leave her behind but he didn't have any other choice.

"I always got time for my girl." That comment made her smile. He then proceed to kiss her neck.

"Are you tempting me to force you to stay here with me?" She jested.

"Is it working?" He asked. She could feel him smirked against her skin. She stroke his blond hair softly.

"Not even a little." She replied, tugging his hair up so that he would raise his face. She gave him a heated kiss, one hand holding the back of his neck to pull him closer while the other rest over his chest.

She definitively was going to miss him.

Suddenly the locker room's door opened to let a familiar face come in.

"Oh no, not again!" Daniel exclaimed, covering his eyes. "Guys! Come on! Seriously you need to stop doing this at work. It's embarrassing." He said before closing the door behind him as he left, acting like a child who just caught his parents kissing.

The couple stared at the shut door for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"If we keep doing this we'll going to get in serious trouble." Jack laughed.

"You were the one who started it, this time." She said.

Finally she disentangled herself from his arms and gave him a chaste kiss before leaving the room so he could get into gear without having her for distraction.
