Camp Lehigh - Practice Field
There were over 11 healthy recruits for the army, all tall and strong looking, and then there was Steve, small and frail but determined to do whatever he must to serve his country and help win the war. All wore army green.
Amara Romanoff, then known as Amara Carter, walked closer with her adoptive sister Peggy Carter. While Amara was blonde, Peggy had dark beautiful hair, both looking a vision even in an army green uniform with skirts.
Amara looked over the men, speaking with a British accent much like Peggy's. "Recruits, attention!"
"Gentlemen, I am Agent Peggy Carter," Peggy introduced. "This is Agent Amara Carter. We will be supervising all operations fo this division."
A meaty guy, Hodge, looked at the agent sisters. "What's with the accents, Queen Victorias? I thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army."
Peggy stopped in front of him. "What's your name, soldier?"
"Gilmore Hodge, your majesty," Hodge replied.
Peggy nodded slightly, indicating where and how she wanted him to stand. "Step forward, Hodge." Hesitating, Hodge did as told. "Right leg forward, arms like so..."
"We gonna rassle?" Hodge asked suggestively. "'Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like?"
Peggy and Amara shared a knowing, annoyed look.
Amara clasped her hands behind her back, feigning a frown as she tilted her head. "Are you familiar with the art of Jiu Jitsu, wherein your opponent's size and momentum are used against him?"
"No," Hodge answered in confusion.
Without missing a beat, Peggy punched Hodge square in the nose. He dropped in a heap, eyes watering, a trickle of blood coming from one nostril.
Peggy spoke casually as if she hadn't just taken him down. "Neither am I. But Amara is, so be warned. If you try anything like that with her, a fist to the nose is the least you'll get."
Amara smirked sarcastically. "You're lucky you dealt with Peggy before me."
The men were all muttering.
Steve looked especially pleased, impressed.
Colonel Phillips approached, calling to the two women. "Agents Carter!"
The men leaped to attention as their colonel approached, impressive, all military.
Dr. Erskine trailed behind Phillips, following toward the men.
"Colonel Phillips," Amara greeted.
"I see that you are breaking in the candidates," Phillips remarked. "That's good!" He joined Amara and Peggy's side while giving a glare to Hodge on the ground. "Get your ass up out of the dirt and stand at attention until somebody comes tells you what to do."
