Little Secrets

Looking at the new recruits,it made me think of Buck, which made me realise, I need to work them hard. "Okay, stand up straight, don't slouch you're not at home now!" I grunt at them. They stand up straight and look towards me.

I had to say goodbye to Buck over a week ago, which means I've been training these newbies for a few days.

Peggy stands beside me. "Alright men! You've met our General of the army!" I stare down the line at each individual men, trying to understand their strengths.

"This is American and who are you? The Queen of England?!" A soldier chuckles, a few snickers from the other soldiers.

"What's your name soldier?" I ask. "Hodge, Ma'am."

The name rings a bell. I hide my sudden gasp. The woman from the cafe, her husband. "Step forward" he does as I say and I lift him up with my mind.

I yawn looking around. I let out a sigh. "Lovely day isn't it Agent Carter?" I say crossing my arms. "Very lovely day, it's said to expect rain though" Peggy states. Hodge is still panicking as I've lifted him.

"Rogers?! Step forward" I announce. Steve steps forward. "Yes ma'am" he looks ahead and salutes. "Your jacket collar is twisted" I say laughing.

"Sorry ma'am, thank you ma'am" Steve says stepping back in line. I laugh at him and he smiles at me.

I drop Hodge and he stands up, Peggy punches him in the face and he drops to the floor. "I see you're putting this men in line ladies" Colonel states. We both chuckle. "Yes sir" Peggy laughs.

"You men will understand-" I just walk away as the Colonel speaks, I go over to the information stand. "Report on 107th, Sergeant Barnes!" I command. He looks through a lot of information.

I look outside the tent to see the soldiers training. They're running and I see Steve falling behind. I sigh sadly.

I stand at the entrance to the tent. "Nobody's got that flag in 20 years!!!" The officer yells! "Alright fall back in line!!" He commands. They do as they're told but one. Steven!

The officer yells at him but he doesn't listen, he pulls the pin from the flag pole and he's able to get the flag. Jumping into the car with Peggy I chuckle.

"Ma'am report on 107th, Sergeant Barnes." He hands me a piece of paper. I thank him and walk away to my bunker. I have my own bunker with nobody because I'm the general but it's nice.

I open the paper to read Bucky's progress. "Sergeant Barnes: Injured 15th July 1:30pm. Jeez Buck... Sprained ankle, untreated. James why would you not- because he wants to fight obviously. God Buck don't end up killing yourself... Continued to fight despite injury. That was 4 days ago." I turn the page. "17th July. Okay two days ago. 12;30 pm, ankle fully healed? What? Okay I guess? It was only a sprain?" I place down the paper, I need to help the 107th, they're falling behind in their missions...

There's a sudden knock at the door. It makes me jump. "Come in" I say. They walk in it's the Colonel. He sees my tears. I'm crying?

"General what's wrong?" Philips asks walking to me. "I-" I sigh shaking my head. I look at my feet. "The 107th...they need help. I need to go to them... but also I'm scared for James."

He sighs at me. "When will you be leaving?" He stands tall. I look up at him and wipe my tears. "I'll be leaving in 2 days, after the solider project." I state.

He nods. "Well I hope you're okay" I smile nodding back. As he leaves I look back at the paper and see two photos fall out of the envelope.

I pick up the first and it's of Bucky and his small team.
