With the New office set up being handled by Maria, Peggy was back into work mode. Thankfully Steve was 100 percent aware of what she was going through or else, their cooperation might not have been so smooth. They had both agreed to postpone the wedding until there was more information in Angie. Peggy's brain just couldn't handle everything being thrown at her at once; Angie, moving, planning a wedding, running SHIELD. She could only do two of those things, moving and the wedding had to wait. "It's not like there isn't room" Was the answer from Tony when Peggy and Steve asked if they could stay in the tower for at least a few more months. Seemed good enough to them.

Peggy leaned back in her chair facing the view of New York City. Her office had been moved into, the desk was a 'an antique nightmare' as Pepper described. Not enough glass and sleek lines for the modern taste. But it was almost the exact same desk she had when she was the Director the first time. Peggy wasn't about to change that. She had been on the phone all day with various media groups. Her assistant arranged everything so Tuesday was her 'PR' day, the one day where she had to sit down and rip the bandaid off as she called up every news station and journalist that wanted to talk with her. It wouldn't have been so bad if the questions weren't so trivial and she swore to god if someone asked her about the wedding one more time like she was a circus attraction she was going to ruin her view of New York from throwing her phone into the glass. The last interview of the day was finally an in person one, despite the fact that it was for a radio show. She wasn't complaining since talking on the phone always made her freeze up and sound terrible.

The car drove her through New York until she was in a trendy neighborhood of manhattan. She got out and walked into the radio station. An assistant was waiting by the door, "Director Carter." She shook hands with Peggy, "I'm going to escort you up to the studio, my name is Alice."

"Well it's wonderful to meet you." Peggy tried to hide the fact that she wanted to be at home in her pajamas catching up on TV from the past half century. They walked to the elevator and took the short ride up to a lower level. The assistant was nice enough, but Peggy could tell that she was a little intimidated by her. Public Icon. Right. She forgot.

They walked up to the door that said read "Trish Talk" Recording studio. The assistant opened the door and Peggy saw the small environment and was unbelievably grateful. There wasn't an audience, there weren't cameras. An athletic blonde women was inside the recording studio organizing papers seeming like she herself was nervous. A sound technician was listening to the levels, but when they entered she made an announcement through the mic, "Trish, Peggy Carter is here."

The blonde's head whipped up and smiled at the guest. She walked and opened the door, "Oh wow. You're perfectly on time."

Peggy smiled, "Well I didn't want to give you an excuse to give me the hard questions."

"I'm Patrisha Walker." She smiled, "There won't be any hard questions, we try and stay away from anything too gossipy when it's someone like you. Everyone has been dying for this interview for weeks. You can set your stuff down on the chair and you can come in and we can get some practice questions out of the way."

Peggy felt like she was watching a tornado whirl around itself. People did that around her nowadays. "I've gotten nothing but gossip questions all day." she said with exasperation and followed Trish into the studio. "So what is the setup of your show. I have to apologize I didn't have time to look into it."

Trish laughed, "No problem, I didn't expect you do. Just a lifestyle and interview show, we'll talk about whatever direction the conversation goes in you first and then people will call in. Anything you don't want to answer and we'll skip right over it, for me or the callers." She sat down.

"I'll let you know." Peggy sat down on her side of the table and crossed her legs, "Don't worry." It's not like Peggy had a problem keeping things to herself.

A few moments later after small talk, the show was finally on air. "Welcome back to Trish Talk, I won't talk for too long since today is the much anticipated interview with the one and only Peggy Carter who has joined me today in the studio." Her voice was peppy without being fake or unlikable. She must be an actor.. Peggy thought to herself. "Now to anyone who's going to call in, please note she is a very busy women so please keep the questions interesting and respectful.. So anyway, welcome to the show Director Carter, or just Peggy Carter?"

"Well, I guess technically it's Director Carter, but that seems so dramatic. Peggy will do just fine. But only if you ask the good questions." She joked.

Trish laughed, "Right, I think the best place to start off is just to say how big of an icon you have become since your - not so permanent- death and your coming back into the public. How does it feel?"

"I mean, it feels overwhelming of course. One minute I'm alive and what feels like a few minutes later I'm waking up 64 years later to a completely different world where I'm respected and this historical figure."

"Weren't you a public figure before, back in 1951?"

"Yes, and no." Peggy answered carefully, "I was the director of SHIELD but due to the attitude towards women at the time, it was hard to get people to realize that I actually earned my place. Not everyone of course, I made many wonderful friends but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I was never the one being sent around for interviews. That was Howard's division."

"Howard Stark, right?" Trish confirmed.

"Yes. He provided much juicier stories for the media than I did." Peggy chuckled, "I was busy overseeing missions and doing field work."

Tish laughed and crossed some things off a paper she had. They were different topics she wanted to bring up, so far of Peggy's reading backwards nothing seemed scary. "I imagine this is where other shows would ask you about your personal life of the time, right?"

Peggy laughed, "Yes they would, mainly about getting over Steve's death, but I've never managed to answer the question to the best of my abilities."

"Is there something you want to clarify?"

"Perhaps…" Peggy thought, "I was reading articles that have been written about me-"

Trish interrupted, "Well there's your first mistake"

Peggy chuckled, "You're right, but they never manage to catch on the fact that I knew Steve for a brief moment in time before he became Captain America." She said with valor, "he was just Steve Rogers. A smart, caring man who wanted to help people."

"What did you do during the War, before the Captain America project?" Trish asked.

"I started working as a code breaker very earlier on in the war. After about a year I managed to convince someone to let me go through training to become a spy for Britain since I excelled at both athletics, strategy and linguistics I was very good. Slowly through the years of the war, I did my best and that was enough to get me into working with the SSR and that's where I stayed through the rest of the War until the SSR was turned into SHIELD." Peggy paused, "Sorry was that a boring answer?"

"No!" Trish answered quickly. "Where did you learn all that?"

"My Grandparents ensured I was well educated throughout my childhood. That covers why I like code breaking and languages." Peggy chuckled, "But the athleticism is just because I was a troublemaker as child who had a lot of excess energy."

"Can I ask you a question that might break up into gossip territory?"

"Sure, why not."

Trish took a moment to arrange her thought, "I am guessing you had feeling for him during the war, and they were mutual. There's that old footage shot of the picture of you in his compass; so I guess my question is when did you develop those feelings, before or after the Serum."

"Before." Peggy answered in a heartbeat, "He was the same person to me. The only thing that changed was a rather impressive immune system."

"Super strength can't hurt though."

Peggy laughed, "No comment, he's probably listen. The last thing I need is him giving me a hard time about how attractive I find him."

They both laughed for moment, "How would you feel about taking some calls right about now, I bet we're swamped."

"Seems fine to me. This is the least stressful interview I think I've ever been in."

"Well thank you." Trish felt honored, "I have been a big fan. I used to have a this Peggy Carter posted in my room when I was a kid, I think every girl did. Anyway- caller number one what's your question?"

"Hi, my question is what is your favorite thing about 2015?"

It was a little bland of a question since she got it a lot but she answered it anyway, "Well that's always a hard question to answer when it comes up, but I always have to say is how comfortable the clothes are. Everything was so restrictive, especially for women. In 1950 if I was doing a radio show I'd be wearing a dress, and nylons, and my hair would have taken me at least an hour each night and morning, and everything was itchy. God, I try not to think about all the things I could have gotten done if I didn't have to worry about what I was wearing. I believe Pepper Potts deserves a nobel peace prize for making the Pony Tail a fashion statement."

"Speaking of Pepper Potts, you two have gone into business together right?"

"Well, yes and no. It's hard to think of SHIELD as a business since I'd rather not privatize freedom and equality. But certainly has helped get things back up and running. Since Tony works with the Avengers and SHIELD often, it just seemed natural. She's a wonderful stylist too. Her taste is a bit modern for me, but I think I might just be old fashioned."

"That's probable," Trish laughed, "Alright next caller."

"There's been evidence of some vigilante's in New York that aren't aligned with the Avengers. What's SHIELD doing to protect people from them."

"Protect people from other people?" Peggy asked.

"Yeah."

"I'm not going to answer that question." Peggy shook her head, "It's a valid concern and I can understand the perspective, but I assure you that SHIELD is doing everything in our ability to keep people safe. That is what SHIELD was founded on, and that's what it is today. Next question."

Trish looked at the clock, "I believe we're running out of time but I have a question to play off the last one."

"Ask away." Peggy took a sip of the water bottle by her hand.

"What advice do you have to people who want to be Heros. Maybe people who want to be Hero's but don't have an Iron Man suit, or Captain America's super strength."

Peggy took a deep breath, "We need more of those people. Not every conflict can be solved through hitting walls as hard as possible. What SHIELD does and what the Avengers do means nothing if the people in the world don't hold each other responsible. Finding the value of yourself and doing the best you can to improve your pocket of the world is it's own act of heroism. And to extend on that; In the beginning of this interview we talked about my history in the war. Not to be vain but back in the day I could do 107 one armed push ups." She paused getting her bearings, "That was more than any howling commando could do. Except for Steve, obviously. That was just me, normal, human Peggy Carter who everyone expected to be a secretary or a nurse, not the drill sergeant or the Director of SHIELD." Peggy stopped again, "I think the biggest danger in this new world is underestimating the power of one determined human. And allowing someone else to tell you what your value is. That is your decision."

Trish nodded, "That's a wonderful way to end this interview I think. Director Peggy Carter, it's been wonderful to have you on the show. Hopefully I can convince you to come again."

"I'm not sure that can be arranged."

Peggy stood in the lobby a few minutes later still talking to Trish. "You know, this is the longest conversation with someone who wasn't a team member."

"Do you not get out much?" Trish chuckled.

"No not really. The People in charge of making me look good to the public have just started to believe I can go out without making an arse out of myself." Peggy checked the time on her phone.

"Well, if you ever need some time away from being the great Director Peggy Carter, come on the show." Trish offered, "Do you want to go grab some Coffee? Or Tea.."

"You've discovered my weakness to Tea-" Peggy was cut off by Trish's phone.

Trish reached into her pocket and sighed, "Do you mind if I take this, it could be an emergency."

"No of course not."

Trish turned to the side, "Hi Jessica.. Yeah we're going and getting drinks… Not those kind of drinks… I'll see you later..."

Peggy tried to hide her smile, but Steve texted her which didn't help her attempt. "You were good on the radio."

"You listened?" She texted back, "I probably made an ass of myself didn't I?"

"No. Tony's on the Twitter thing. I don't know how he knows or what they're saying, but he says it's good."

Peggy took a deep breath and looked and saw Trish hanging up her conversation, "Apparently the internet liked the interview."

"Oh really, what are they saying?" Trish checked her phone and walked through the revolving door of the building. She was checking the app on her phone, "You're trending."

"What does that mean?" Peggy put her sunglasses on.

Trish laughed, "Oh it's just that people are talking about you. It's a social media thing. Do you have one?"

"Have a what?"

"A Twitter… instagram…"

Peggy made a face of dislike, "I'm not sure that would be appropriate."

"You're probably right… but the President has one, The Queen has one."

"Oh," The fact that the Queen had one made the whole thing more palatable, "Well if The Queen is doing it."

Peggy walked into the tower seeing Steve making a sandwich with the healthy plethora of ingredients in the Stark fridge, "Hello Darling."

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you this happy on a press day… ever." He laughed.

"I believe I was just making a friend." She said with a gasp, "Can you believe it."

Tony walked into the room eating a handful of blueberries, "You're friends with Trish Walker now?"

"We just went to get coffee out of the interviewer. She seemed normal, and not an Avenger." Peggy hung her coat over the back of a couch, "Not that there's anything bad about that."

Steve chuckled, "No offense taken. But who's Trish Walker."

"She was on some stupid kids show. 'Hey it's Patsy.. I really wanna be your friend..' or whatever it was. Now she has a talk show, I mean she's one of the more tolerable ones."

Peggy nodded, "That's what I picked up on-"

"PEGGY CARTER." Pepper shouted from the direction of her office. "PEGGY CARTER." The voice was getting closer until she was walking into the room, looking into her phone. "You have a twitter?!"

"Ugh…" Peggy scratched the back of her neck, "I mean… yes. I thought it would be a good idea."

"It. Was. A. Brilliant. Idea." She walked over and showed Peggy some polls, "You're the internet's new favorite thing."

Peggy took the phone, "I just got it so I can look at cat pictures though.." She was tired of everything being a public image move. She was becoming tired of a lot of things.

"How did your assistant interviews go?" Steve brushed the crumbs off his hands.

"Good, I found a girl. Very organized, pleasant and she starts in a few days." Peggy felt her phone buzz in her hand, "Excellent taste in coffee.." She said as she drifted into focusing on the new information. It was a message from Coulson, 529 "Good lord.." She muttered.

"What happened?" Steve walked over.

"Code 529…" she and Steve made a beeline to her temporary office-thanks to Tony- and hit a few keys on the computer opening up a video call with Coulson.

Tony followed her into the office, was immediately impressed by how good she was with the technology. Being a spy for so long helped her be adaptable. "529 is good right?"

"Coulson, what is happening?" Peggy could see the other members of the team in Coulson office. "Tony send a message to the Avenger team to prepare to ship out."

"We have a location of the Target about 10 miles outside of Chicago." A map was brought up, "We should be able to take out the base with SHIELD and the Avengers cooperating."

Peggy nodded, "prepare a short debrief for the Avenger Team once we meet to go in. Night attack?"

"I finally get to say it: We attack at Dawn." He smiled but went back to business. "See you here."

She checked her watch, "We'll be there no later than 2200 I imagine." that gave them plenty of time to assemble and prepare to leave. They both signed off and Peggy immediately started to prepare herself for battle. She was going to get Angie back, and hopefully she'd kick the legs from under Hydra as she succeeded.
