Love, Agent Delacroix

Doll...

U.S. CAMP, PHILLIPS' TENT - DAY-

Phillips stares out his window, stoic. "Senator Brandt, I regret to report that Captain Steven G. Rogers went missing behind enemy lines on the 3rd of last week." He looks down to read the rough draft on his notepad. We see that he's dictating to the corporal. "Aerial reconnaissance has proven unfruitful. As a result, I must declare Captain Rogers killed in action." The corporal stops typing. Phillips turns to see...PEGGY standing in the door, red-eyed and tired. "The last surveillance flight is back." She enters and lays down AERIAL PICTURES OF THE DISINTEGRATED HYDRA CAMP.

"No sign of activity." Phillips gazes at the photos. Then he looks to the corporal. COLONEL "Corporal. Why don't you go get a cup of coffee?" The corporal nods and leaves the "I can't touch Stark. He's a civilian...and the Army's number one weapons contractor. You're neither."

"You'll have my resignation in the morning."

"I can probably make it so that you'll avoid a court martial."

"With respect, sir, I don't regret my actions. And I doubt Captain Rogers and Agent Delacroix did, either."

"What makes you think I give a damn about your opinions?" Peggy goes cold. Phillips steps forward. "I took a chance on you, Agent Carter. Now that Agent, that boy-and a lot of other men-are dead, because you had a crush." "I had faith. "

U.S. CAMP - DAY-

Phillips and Peggy step outside to see DOZENS OF SOLDIERS HURRYING TOWARD THE CAMP ENTRANCE. The soldiers part, revealing... BRIANNA, STEVE, AND BUCKY WALKING UP THE ROAD, LEADING A SQUAD OF P.O.W.'S. RAGTAG VEHICLES FOLLOW, CARRYING THE REST. Brianna has obvious Knife wounds and is filthy but she hangs off Bucky nonetheless WEARING HIS DOGTAGS. Steve's uniform hangs filthy and torn. His shield is battered and bent.

BUT HIS HEAD IS HIGH. G.I.'s CHEER, more come running. Hodge steps out of the barracks, drying his hair. He stops, STUNNED. Amazed, Phillips looks to Peggy, who wipes away tears. The stunned crowd parts. Steve salutes Phillips. "Colonel, some of these men need medical attention." Phillips looks at the gaunt faces of the men and Agent. He nods. Medics rush in to help the P.O.W.'s. "I'd like to surrender myself for disciplinary action." PHILLIPS LOOKS AT STEVE'S BATTERED, BURNED SHIELD. "That won't be necessary." Steve and Phillips lock eyes. Steve smiles.

"Yes, sir." Phillips turns to Peggy, smiling wryly. "Faith, huh?" He walks away as Steve turns to Peggy. She stops herself from hugging him. "You're both late." He pulls out THE STARK TRANSPONDER. IT'S SHOT TO PIECES. "Sorry, we couldn't call our ride." THEY STARE at each other a long, lingering MOMENT. THEN...SOLDIERS, including those who BOOED him at the USO show, crowd around slapping STEVE ON THE BACK. They wave his COMIC BOOK, yelling for CAPTAIN AMERICA. FLASHBULBS POP. STEVE SMILES DESPITE HIMSELF, finally accepted.

"HEY!" I hear Bucky shout, He grabs me and holds me against him by my waist. "LET'S GIVE IT UP FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA AND AGENT JUSTICE!" He calls out and everyone starts cheering for Me and Steve.

U.S. CAMP, AGENT DELACROIX'S TENT- VERY LATE AFTERNOON-

We walk through the camp Towards my tent, the soldiers all congratulating me and Steve. Bucky stops and picks me up bridal style, and carries me the rest of the way. I blush furiously and the soldiers wolf whistle and cat call. I bury my face in the crook of his neck. Steve and Peggy watch us and smile, knowing. Bucky reaches the entrance and sets me down. He kisses me on the cheek and i blush more, and We walk into my tent.

U.S. CAMP, AGENT DELACROIX TENT - NIGHT-

Me and Bucky sit on the edge of the bed, staring off. There are several moments of silence before either of us say anything. Bucky sighs. I turn to him. "Doll, you're never going to stop fighting are you?" He asks quietly, almost afraid. "Almost 8 months ago I was Captured and Experimented on by HYDRA. They turned into something they could use as a weapon. But I was rescued and I've vowed To take them down. Especially after what they did to you." I say softly as I look him in the eyes.
He looks back and forth between my eyes.
