Coulson stood in front of Agent Fitz, Simmons, Daisy, Bobbi and May- wearing his usual suit, though he had just gotten used to the suspenders. They were in his office with the door and windows shut closed "Okay, so there's been an improvement to things."
"That really can't be hard." Daisy scoffed, "The sky isn't falling so it's a good day."
"Har Har." Coulson looked at Daisy, "This is actually good.. and Top Secret." He turned to the screen that was no projecting Peggy Carters file.
Jemma sighed at the sight of the file, "Director Carter" it was partly a sigh of Awe and partly a sigh of love.
"Here we go." Fitz muttered.
"Peggy Carter. The Peggy Carter is my hero and there's nothing you Fitz can do to make me feel bad about that!"
Coulson looked between Fitz and Simmons, "Well I'm glad to hear that. She's alive."
Bobbi raised an eyebrow, "That's impossible she died-"
"In 1951." Jemma stuck her finger in the air.
"Right…" Bobbi shifted her Torso away from Jemma.
Fitz shrugged, "It's not the most unbelievable thing I've ever heard. The rules of death are a little grey these days." He gestured to Coulson.
"Yeah thanks for the reminder." He deadpanned, "But this isn't anything Alien. Peggy Carter is alive thanks to a modified Serum created by Howard Stark. It was kept a secret as to not get the hopes up. Top Secret."
Simmons covered her mouth in hopes to stop a squeal. It wasn't very effective, "When can we meet her! I have so many questions."
Daisy blew air out through her cheeks, "What's the plan? Catch her up to date with everything that's happened for 60 years or however long it's been."
"You can't just spring everything on her." Bobbi pointed out, "What would you do?"
"Well speaking from personal experience, sometimes it's nice to be told the truth. Rip the bandage off." Daisy lifted herself up to sit on the table. "Who's telling Cap?"
Coulson nodded, "Haven't decided yet… I think she wants the answers. But I'm putting you five in charge of getting her educated about everything today and evaluating her to be registered back into SHIELD. Do you think you can handle that?"
Jemma squealed again before there could be anything else said.
May decided that it would probably be best to have Peggy acclimate to the 21st century away from as many people as possible, so they started loading up The Bus. Jemma was extatic hardly able to control herself.
"I've never seen Simmons so happy." Bobbi raised an eyebrow at the scientist who was practically skipping everywhere, and looked back at Daisy, "If she's taking it like this how's the whole Steve Rogers thing going to go down."
Daisy swiped through her tablet. New Inhumans were popping up everyday, it was becoming hard to keep track of. "I think Cap might have some competition with Simmons." She teased.
The doors to the air hangar opened, and in walked Coulson and Peggy Carter. She had to say, the pictures didn't really do her justice. But whatever she was wearing..was certainly a throw back. "I'll bet you 20 bucks that once she goes public everyone and their sister is going back to the whole… vintage vibe."
Bobbi shrugged, "I don't mind it. But I can't pull of red lipstick like she did."
"Agents." Coulson stopped where The Bus's door met the floor of the hanger, "Meet Director Carter."
"Please don't call me that." Peggy insisted, "I'm not technically an Agent so I'm certainly not Director."
Daisy could stop herself from smiling, "Yeah, it happens to the best of us." She had become an Agent before she was supposed to.
"These are some of the Agents who're going to help you. Agent Bobbi Morse and Agent Skye-"
"Daisy." Bobbi and Daisy corrected him.
"Damnit." he muttered, "Daisy. Agent Daisy Johnson."
Peggy smiled at both of them shaking their hands, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for the escort Director Coulson."
"It's really not a problem. I'd say I'm your biggest fan but there's some competition about that."
"Speaking of the number one fan, everyone else is in the Bus. Er- the plane." Bobbi turned around to walk up with Daisy and Peggy following.
They walked through the garage stopping as the ramp lifted up getting ready for take off. Peggy looked around the garage, "This place must not be designed to handle combat, I've never seen so much glass in my life."
"Well… you'd be surprised." Daisy started walking up the spiral staircase. "The bus has seen its fair share.
"May I ask why we're going to the trouble to do this in a plane?" Peggy asked as they ascended the stairs.
Bobbi walked through the living area of the Bus to sit down on the small couch, "This way you can get comfortable without worrying about people seeing you. Coulson doesn't really know how to handle this situation."
"I'm afraid I'm not sure either." Peggy walked over to a window and started examining the things around the bus, "I'm not sure I even believe this situation is real."
Everyone was sitting around the table- except may who was flying the plane- going bit by bit through pop trivia. There wasn't a solid manual on how to help someone acclimate to a new era. It had only happened once before and it wasn't executed very well. They had gone over almost everything about SHIELD from the past couple years. The politics, the spies, and the fall of her own creation. What was left of SHIELD was a limping veteran, slowly rebuilding itself. As complicated as it was to break the news to the creator, everyone around the table was avoiding the elephant in the room. Jemma was practically bouncing being in the same room, it took every ounce of her not to just melt into a puddle.
Peggy recovered from a laugh, "So I understand that bird thing-"
Fitz chimed in, "Twitter."
She nodded, "Twitter, my mistake. May I ask a question about something else now?"
"Of course." Jemma refilled Peggy's tea cup with hot water.
"The technology has evolved past anything we could have imagined when I was alive before. I just… have you found Steve Roger's body? Or the plane yet?" Peggy asked carefully.
Finally the door had been opened. "Well…" Fitz spoke before looking around the table. It was good news, why did this feel so tragic.
Bobbi decided to take it, "SHIELD found the plane a few years ago in the ice after the . And Captain Rogers was in the plane frozen."
Peggy nodded, "Well that's good. I'm just glad he's accounted for-"
"That's not all... SHIELD was able to unfreeze him and bring him back. Captain Rogers is alive."
Peggy was in the cockpit of The bus. "Turn this around and land!"
May kept her cool, "We can't do that."
"Why not? Steve is alive and I need to-" She was sure it wasn't a secret in this era what Steve meant to her, and hopefully what she meant to Steve. Peggy looked at the controls seeing if there was anyway she could possibly figure out how to fly the thing, but she never did learn how to fly a plane. "I need to see him."
"And you will." Daisy said through the doorway of the cockpit, "But there are a lot of things to take into consideration. Your mental health and his."
May flicked the plane to autopilot and turned around in her chair, "You just woke up from a coma in a new century. Agents close to Steve are checking on him."
"This is why you did this on a bloody plane." Peggy crossed her arms feeling like she was being captured, "So I couldn't run away."
Daisy took a step back, "We aren't trying to trick you. We are protecting you, and Captain Rogers. We're doing what SHIELD does. Let's go back and we can run you through everything. That was the only secret."
Peggy looked between May and Daisy, "Fine. But don't you dare let it happen again."
