Til The End Of The Line

5.

"Welcome to Shield." Howard says as I walk into the headquarters.
"Good to be back." I laugh. I go up to him and give him a kiss on the cheek hello. "Where's peggy?" I ask looking around.
"She left to check out the new recruits at the camp." He says and I nod. "We should get going." I nod and we make our way towards the front entrance. Howard runs toward the front. We got to his car and he opened the car door for me.
"Thank you." I said getting into the car. The drive to the camp was a little long but Howard and I made conversation through out the whole ride there. I asked him questions like where he was from and his age. Whi bh for the record he is Bucky's age. I seriously have some issues if I attract men that are my brother's age.

When we finally arrive at the camp there army men in formation all around. As if they were waiting for Howard. He gets put and runs over to the other side of the car to open my door and reaches over for my hand. I get out of the car and look around. Howard waves at the army men and we walk towards the tall building.
I turn my gaze to the size and look around through the men. I see Steve standing there not looking at me like the rest of the men. I go up to him and smile. They cant talk of motion to you unless they are spoken to.
"Private Roger's how are you?" His eyes go to the side to see me without moving from his position.
"Ms.Barnes I'm well how are you?" Howard steps towards me and cuts me off from talking.
"That's Agent Barnes to you Private." Howard speaks. I scolded him and looked back at Steve.
"Sir yes sir." He says and goes back into position.
Howard motions me toward the building and I start walking excusing myself from the group.
"You didn't need to be rude."
"People need to know your place here you have more authority that most people." I smile and nod. "And did you see your friend's face." He chuckles making me laugh. It was funny to see how serious Steve got. We enter the building and were greeted by peggy.
She pulls me into a hug and does the same to Howard.
She starts telling me about our plans for the next few days with the soldiers.
We will observing them and working closely with Dr.Abraham Erskine to pick the best test soldier we could find. I nod as I hear the plan taking all the information in. My mind is still set in for Steve. I will try my hardest for him to be the test subject so this experiment.
I look out a large window and take a deep breath.
This place is where my father died years ago.

A few days later.

Steve SUCKS.
I have tried my hardest to look at the bright side of everything he does. Pushups .. sucks.
Sit ups.... sucks.
Running... you know what I'm going to say.
I can do more pushups than him.
Peggy and Dr.Erskine will be joining me this time to supervise the army men and this time they will be able to actually see them close in action.
We all head out to the cars and get in to make out to the field. We pass different groups of army men practicing formation or working out or learning how to use weapons.
After a few minutes we take a sharp turn and reach the field that Steve was on.
I look around to see what they were all doing. With one command they all scattered and got into a straight line. We got out of the car and made our way towards the group of me. We kept our face straight.
"Men, these lovely women." He commander points at us. Peggy and I look at each other and roll our eyes and sigh. Why does he have to compliment us "lovely women" seriously. He could have gone straight to the point and said they are agents and went on. He is trying to degrade us by pointing our sex. "Are Agents Carter, and Barnes. This is the legendary Dr.Erskine.They are here for research purposes so carry on like they're not here. Steve looks my way and I smile he smiles back. He start doing doing his exercises. They go on a run and we follow them by car. Steve is by fan the shortest private here. The men stop at a flagpole a mile down the road.
"Who ever can get that flag down gets to ride back with us." Peggy says. The "men" try to climb the pole. Climb on each other's back but nothing work.
"Alright then everyone let's go back." The commander instructs the men. Everyone start walking back but my eyes were fixed on Steve. I look down to the bottom of the flagpole; what I would have done is pull the peace of metal from the bottom keeping the flagpole intact and push it down to grab the flag. Steve follows my eyes and sees exactly what I'm seeing. He bends down.
"Rogers hurry up." The commander yells.
Everyone turns back to look at him.
"Rogers!." He yells one more time.
Steve pulls out the metal and the flagpole comes flying down. He goes to the other end where the flag was and pulls it out. He waves it around and hops into the vehicle next to me.
Peggy smiles at him and he smiles at her. I look back and forth through this interaction and raise my eyebrow and him and smirk. He immediately got red.
The ride back was quite nice. Steve and peggy exchanged a few looks which I magically see. I smirked the whole way back.
.
.
.
.

"I'll be right back." I say to peggy and Howard making my way to the privates cabin. I walk in and immediately whistles are being thrown at me. I roll my eyes and walk around to find Steve.
The men are walking towards me and actually trying to press against me.
"As if." I say pushing them away. As they still tried to press against me I pulled out my gun and loaded it pointing it at their direction.
"Now if you even try to touch one hair on me again I'll make sure Howard stark ends your whole existence. No one will ever miss you." I threaten them. They all back down and step aside.
"Now can anyone tell me where Ste-" I stopped talking when Steve came into my view. He walked out of the showers in his night clothes. "Never mind I found him." I say walking towards him.
"Becca what are you doing here it's not safe for a woman to be alone on privates grounds."
"Please Steve if they try anything it will go directly to Howard and trust me you don't want to know what his men will do." He raises an eyebrow.
"So Howard Stark?" He says looking away towards the men trying to eavesdrop.
"So Peggy Carter?" I smirk. Lowering my voice so they won't hear. We smile at each other knowing we won't get any information out from one another. "You know I won't say anything to her but if you want me to help I can; I work with her."
"Your loyalty stand with your job."
"My loyalty stands with who ever I want it to stand with. My loyalty is to myself before anyone and to my brother. Then you, then this job. I will never betray it unless they betray me. You know I keep my promises." I look deep into his eyes and reciprocates that.
"I have to go but you did a good job today. I need you to keep that up." He nods
Steve doesn't know that I'm actually helping him. He just knows I work for shield. He can't know that I am giving him a heads up with everything but his commander wants to bring that down. He wants someone strong some soldier like to be the subject to this experiment. He's trying to demise my opinions every time I say something and I won't have that. Steve deserves to be part of this. He's a soldier by heart. I won't stop until he is the next Captain Of the American Army.
"I'm trying I really am."
"Well i need you to give it your all because you suck. You got into the army for a reason. So show me what the reason was. Because right now I don't see it Steve." He nods. I stand up. "Goodnight Steve." I say a walk away.
"Good night becca." Steve says under his breath.

2 weeks later

We are once again out in the field with the men. Today is the day they will make the decision on who will be the test subject for this experiment.
Peggy us currently training the men. I'm observing their every move. I hear doctor Erskine talking with the commander making their way over to where I was standing.
"What has happened."
"Everything is the same and ready to go."
"You are seriously no considering picking Rogers. " I look over at the commander with a proud smirk. I go over to peggy and start pushing everyone to their limits.
I hear bits and pieces of their conversation. They're talking about Hodge. The commander is saying he's the best physical fit.
I made my way over to them.
"He had passed all the test he's a soldier."
"He's a bully."
"You don't win wars with niceness doctor." He scoffs.
I got over and grab a granade. Their eyes follow me.
" No sir you win the war with guts." I pull out the pin with my hand and throw it out to where the men were working out.
"Grenade!" The commander yells out. We stand there observing their every move. The men scatter out and I roll my eyes at their cowardness. Steve runs up to the grenade and threw his body at it using himself as a human shield. He yells to everyone to get away.
I smirked proudly. I turn my gaze towards a truck far far behind him where Hodge was hiding away from the grenade. I point him put to the commander.
"There's your soldier." Peggy hears me and tries not to laugh.
"But that man on the floor ready go give his life for this country THAT is our Captain."I said looking at the commander straight in the face. I look over proudly at Steve. He pulls his body back from where the grenade was laying.
"Was that a test?" He says out of breath. Earning a small laugh from me.
