Then and there I decided only to use the weapons of the era that I found as I quickly figured out how to use them. We finished them off, I was out of breath I sat down on the floor.
"You ok Miss?" said the Man in the blue jacket.
"I will eventually, I can't recall when I ate last."
The Man gave me a candy bar, as he sat beside me with a smile. I smiled back accepting it, "It's been awhile since I saw a guy who didn't want me dead."
"How did you know he was with Hydra?" Asked Captain America.
"How can you not know?" I replied.
The Man chuckled, "I knew I liked you Miss."
"Melanie," I spoke, giving him my hand, "Melanie Hansen."
"Call me Bucky."
"I hate to rude but what kind of name is that?"
Captain America snickered, "Sorry Bucky couldn't help it."
"It's a nickname. My full name is James Buchanan Barnes." He whispered in my ear.
"Ok Bucky it is." I replied, "I'm kinda bad with names but I have a feeling I won't be having a problem remembering yours."
"Bucky keep her company I'm going to get reinforcements to extract the Mirror to a new location."
SSR Base
Before we left the base one of the guys gave me a blanket to cover up my uniform as we marched back to the rendezvous point for extraction, then from there we took a plane ride to the main base. From there I briefed the Col. Phillips on what I could tell him without compromising my present their future. I knew way ahead of time I had to be very careful not to tell anything and go along with everything in this time frame. I stood before the Colonel like any soldier during the briefing. He listened as I explained my side verifying Steve and Bucky's story.
"All I know so far is that the ancient device is a mirror to the present future or present past. I believe through my experience that two people has to be facing the mirror in order for it to work. This ancient device can be more dangerous in Hydra's hands than anyone can imagine..." I spoke to Col. Phillips, "I wasn't finished the translation before I was interrupted on my side only to find myself to fight again on your side, sir."
"You seem to know quite a bit. And from what Rogers and Barnes told me I'd believe you. You don't look like the type that lies." He said as I figured he had a hunch, but what of I wasn't too entirely sure, the era I was in or the artifact or both.
"History is one of my favorite subjects besides, arts and writing." I said, "I do have a degree in Archaeology, sir."
"So how far in the future are you from exactly?"
"The next century sir."
"So that's about 60, 70 years... Do we win?"
"I'm not giving you any spoilers, sir. Besides that be cheating in any card game."
He chuckled, "There's a woman coming to help you figure out the Mirror she's a Raider apparently. Dr. Gamble she's a canuck like yourself. Luckily we do have some Canucks with us we have some spare uniforms for you to wear."
"Thank you sir." The last name 'Gamble' rung a bell but I couldn't recall when or where I heard it.
"I had a daughter once, you remind me of her. Look lots of people don't want to know the future."
"I know, I've watched a few movies that shows the possible dangers of changing something in the past. It's not a problem I can go along with things."
"One other thing we'll give you a alias."
"And that is?"
"You will be acting as Steve Rogers long lost younger cousin Melanippe Johansen."
"That translates to the Black Mare in ancient Greek."
"I'm surprised you know about that, that was my daughter's name before she changed it. She was a rebellious woman."
"It works, not far from my real name, and I'm definitely not rebellious girl but you get the picture."
"Agent Carter." He called as he opened his office door, in came in the Lady herself as I looked at her in awe as I saluted to her. She smiled at me warmly as she looked to the Colonel.
"Yes Col. Phillips?" She said as she came inside.
"This is Lieutenant Melanie Hansen of the Canadian Forces... She's the woman who came through that Mirror thing from the future according to Captain Rogers and the Howling Commandos."
"Pleasure to meet you my dear."
"Likewise it's a real honor to meet you Agent Carter, Steve told me I'd like you ASAP."
"Yes he and Bucky told me about you. Actually Bucky talked about you the most, he was worried what you and the Colonel were talking about."
"That's kinda sweet, but as I found out he doesn't bite that hard. No offence sir."
"None taken, anyhow, Carter she'll be your new roommate. Carter the lady here will be using the name of Lt. Melanippe Johansen, from the Canadian Women's Army Corps as our newest agent also known as Roger's Canadian cousin. Since she has a neck for ancient stuff she and Dr. Gamble will be working on that once the lady arrives."
"The Second world war was something I studied intensely sir I'd be able to tell you where the Canadian forces are so we can minimize casualties of friendly fire."
"Excellent idea Lieutenant Johansen." Said Phillips, "Back to topic as you can obviously see the lieutenant is in need a makeover to look like a Lady from this century not from the future, get her up to date to this era and brief her on ladylike stuff. I'll leave you to it girls, Johansen you can change here, don't be afraid to ask Carter anything."
