The next day, after breakfast Peggy and I arrived in HQ as Col. Phillips was talking with a woman my height... She wore a leather jacket with the old RCAF patch on the shoulders, tight slacks, riding boots, a blouse and a little vest.

"So where's this Child Protege I've never heard of?" She demanded angrily, "Colonel what else aren't you telling me?"

Her accent sounded very familiar... as I realised it as I was shocked as Dr. Gamble was my Late Grandmother, Grammy Hansen. The fact I recognized her from her voice and nothing else made me uneasy and more nervous. What if I change my parent's timeline and I'd never be born?

"What's wrong?" asked Peggy as she saw me pale

"This is not going to be easy anymore, but Dr Gamble is my late grandmother," I whispered.

"Were you close with her?"

"No, not really I didn't want to see her after I lost my grandfather... I kinda regret it though."

"Then perhaps you have a chance to get to know her and make things right."

"Eh ok here goes nothing," I gulped nervously, "Um Dr Gamble? I'm Lt. Melanippe Johansen."

"So besides the report I read of the Mirror of Ages what else had you found Rookie?" She growled at me. I knew if I told her she wouldn't believe me, besides the fact I'm not a good liar and she's my goddamn grandmother in her younger years.

I couldn't defend myself, but thanks to Carter she stepped in for me "She's still a little green and I thought you Canadians don't greet each other in anger." I sighed with relief as I mouthed out 'thank you Peggy.' As she smiled back.

Dr. Gamble sighed, "I'm sorry I'm just having a really bad day, Johansen... Any relation to Metta Hansen? Her maiden name was Johansen."

"Er I don't know I never got to know my Dad's extended family." I said.

"She's adopted."

"Oh sorry." she apologized, awkwardly.

"It's fine," I admitted, "But we need your help here this war is getting complicated and complex with ancient tech that Hydra is using."

"Colonel where you find this kid?"

"She's Captain America's Canadian cousin."

"I don't want special treatment Dr. Gamble."

"I don't plan on it, but now I have that feeling that you'll be helping me more than I am helping you."

"Ladies we need to know more about the rumored Tech that Johann Schmidt aka The Red Skull has in his current position. All we managed to find out that it was found in Tønsberg."

"That's going to be tricky it's in Nazi occupied territory."

"Well they aren't going to touch two christian blonde ladies." I spoke.

"I can't tell if you hair is blonde or brown." Gamble said looking at my hair, "I like how you think kid, looks like I'm going to need a wig."

"I'll join you," said Carter.

"Sure the more the merrier."

We managed to come across the place where Johann Schmidt was seen, one of the locals couldn't speak English, as Dr Gamble's German was rusty. Since I was waiting at a car we took from the nazis along the way here... "Mind if I try I can learn languages pretty quick." I asked.

"Mel are you sure?" asked Peggy.

"It was how I managed to learn Russian." I replied, Dr Gamble smiled as she signalled me to do so. "Alright I know you don't understand me, but please speak to me..."

The man started talking to me as within seconds I was speaking the same language... astonishing both the local and the Ladies as I learned everything I needed to know. "To that church over there." I said as they followed me, I slid down the rubble into the main room as I saw two dead bodies, one in the rubble beside me as the other was on the floor beside a stone sarcophagus. Now I should have been nauseous, but I was lucky a breeze was coming in fanning the smell, but these guys should have been decayed down to their bones. I felt bad for these guys, they weren't given a proper funeral, just left here to rot. Dr Gamble placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Alright kid get to work, Carter keep point. I'll give these guys their last rights then join you kido."

"Right."

"Ok Kid-."

"Please... call me Mel, Doc." I wined.

"Ok Mel it is." she replied as she gave me a long sheet of paper and a caracol, "Use these to make a rubbing of the whole coffin."

"It's stone so it's a sarcophagus."

"Well at least you can pronounce it better than I can." Dr Gamble joked.

Immediately I started making a rubbing of the coffin as she saw the broken lid on the other side as she then started putting the lid back together again on the floor. She took her camera as I took photos of it. "We can't make a rubbing out of this." Dr Gamble spoke.

"I'll see if I can draw in the missing parts later." I spoke. As I made notes on a spare scrap sheet using it as a bookmark in the journal Bucky gave me.

"So what is it that he has?" Asked Carter yelling from the entrance.

"Some sort of energy cube... A Tesseract I think it's called." She began as I looked at the world Tree Yggdrasil on the wall. "It's missing a small panel... Looks hollow."

"Chances are the real artifact was there." I said, "It's missing the so called serpent maybe that was part of the wall holding the item."

"Not in the coffin? Right. Way too obvious even a like me amature can miss that." She replied, "Yeah Mel I'd believe you're theory of what was there is right, historically and artistically."

"Perhaps Schmidt thinks today's science can make it do his bidding?" I theorized.

"What can it do?" Asked Peggy.

"By the looks of it," Dr Gamble said studying other areas, "If he isn't stopped while it's still in development stages, we're in big trouble once he's finished."
