Peggy snapped up in her sleeping bag, sweat steaming down her temples. She looked around the small, dark room. One of two rooms in the cabin that her Rose, Howard, Jack, Samberly and Daniel were put in for a mission.

She heard shuffling from the other side of the small room. Her heartbeat quickened as she scampered back. Light flooded the room from Rose's torch. Showing Rose and Howard with worried looks. They were the only people in the room and nobody knew about her and Daniel. But she needed him.

"Peg? Are you okay?" Howard asked, worry lacing his tone as we crawled towards her. Daniel. She needed Daniel. She needed to feel his arms around her. She tried to talk, but no sound came out. She didn't realize Rose leave. She didn't feel Howard's arm around her. She was paralized with fear.

"Marge!" Jack shot into the room and frantically shook her shoulder. "Peggy? You with me?"

"Daniel-" She blurted, tears burning her eyes. She was shaking as Jack shooed Samberly out. Her breathing quickened with every passing second. She heard the faint echo of Jack and Howard's voice, but her mind kept returning to the horrible things she had seen. She hadn't noticed someone suddenly burst into the room until they called her name.

"Peg-" A worried voice breathed. She shot her head towards the door. Daniel ran across the room, pushing past his fellow agents. He dropped to his knees in front of Peggy. "Hey, Hey. It's okay, I'm here," He cooed, kissing her hand. Tears finally fell as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. His hands enveloped her in a tight hug as he fell to the ground. She held him as close as she possibly could and cried into his shoulder.

The room fell silent, the only thing that could be heard was Peggy's quiet whimpers and Daniels soft whispers.

"What the he-" Howard began to question, before being nudged by Rose. She glared daggers at him before dragging him, Jack and Samberly out with her, leaving Peggy and Daniel.

"Y-you...you were h-hurt a-a-and I couldn't h-help you," Peggy cried, into Daniel's shoulder. Daniel couldn't do anything more than hold her.

"Shhhh It wasn't real, I'm here, we're safe," He cooed, rubbing her back. We wanted nothing more than for her to be happy. Peggy unraveled herself from Daniel's embrace, trying to stop her whimpers. Her cheeks were still flooding with painful tears. He placed his hand on her cheek, sliding this thumb across it to catch all of her tears. Her hand gripped his tightly, as if he might disappear if she let go.

"I love you, Peg. I'm never leaving you, you know that," He said softly cupping her face with both hands. Despite the low light, he could still see the empty streams of tears left on her cheeks. Peggy nodded lightly, sliding her hand into his hair, pulling him towards her. Their lips touched lightly, before Peggy pulled him closer, deepening the kiss.

"I love you too," She whispered, her voice still full of torment. Daniel leant in and placed a delicate kiss on her forehead, making a small resemblance of a smile appear.

"Just go in and grab your sleeping bag, it's not that big of a deal!" Rose whisper yelled to Howard

"But-" Howard began,

"Stark. Cmon," Jack frowned, shaking his head. Howard growled, glaring at the two

"Fine. But you're cleaning up the puke," He declared as he mantally prepared himself before he opened the door. He twisted the doorknob before running into the room. He closed his eyes and felt around for his bag. When he couldn't, he hesitantly squinted his eyes open. His gaze landed right on Peggy and Daniel, peacefully asleep in each other's arms. He gagged as he bolted out of the room, his bag slowly slipping through his grip.

"So how was that?" Jack laughed as Howard glared at him

"You do it next time," He grumbled as he slid into his sleeping bag. The rest of them hid in the darkness of the cramped room, slowly falling back to sleep (Except for Samberly obviously, His eyes remained wide open, not believing that he was sleeping in the same room as Rose. Well of course he isn't sleeping but you get it)
