Stars and Stripes: Amelia Rose Rogers

S.S.R.?

It's been 2 weeks since James left and it's been a week since I boarded the train and became a soldier for the 26th Infantry Regiment. One of the hardest and most difficult at first was proving myself to soldiers and lieutenants alike but I expected it to have to show everyone I belong there. What I didn’t expect is for agent carter to help me put them in their place I mean she is probably the most respected women here and right now I'm standing in a row of 12 soldiers at ease on the practice field all of us looking healthy expect for one he stood out sore thumb skin and bones and short but looking determined. Why didn’t he tell me he got in I feel like that’s something you would tell your twin sister of all people, right? “Recruits, Attention!” I hear Agent Peggy Carter shout as she strides up in her British uniform. I have met her a couple times before on my first three days here. She was a beautiful woman; she was someone Steve would fall hard for. The brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and knew how to put someone in their place. She looks us all over “Gentlemen, Miss Rogers, my name is agent Carter. I will be supervising your induction today.” she says in a tone of authority over all of us. I look forward in attention as she passes out and clipboards “To begin with, I shall need you to complete this document” Agent Carter orders. I look down once I get the paper and read “LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT” the guys in between me and Steve looking at each other nervously. Steve and me completely unfazed. As Agent carter hands a big meaty soldier his papers he grumbles it was Hodge the biggest asshole here he thinks women don’t belong here showed me that much on my first day. “what’s with the accent, Queen Victorica? I thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.” Hodge says with a smirk. I watch as Agent Carter backs up and turns to face him “What's your name, soldier?” she says as I try to hide my smile knowing what's about to happened as I was there when the first guy recruit mouthed out last week poor guy hasn’t talked much since. “Gilmore Hodge, your majesty” he says in a cocky tone and it is hilarious to me just how calm she was acting making it hard to keep a straight face.  “Step forward, Hodge” she says and he does. She indicates where and how he should stand. “Right leg forward, arms like so...” she says “We going to rassle? Cause I got a few moves I know you’ll like” he says suggestively. I look over at Steve to see we are both making the face of he is going to regret that as she closer, putting one leg forward... “Are you familiar with the art of Jiu Jitsu, where in your opponent’s size and momentum are used against him?” she says calmly “No...” he says confused. She punches him square in the nose. He drops in a heap, eyes watering, a trickle of blood coming from his nose. “Neither am I” she says casually as the men snickered Steve looking especially pleased. And I look at her with a slight smirk on my face. After about thirty minutes we are released, I walk up to Steve pulling him back by his shoulder as he tries to walk away “Steven Grant Rogers, when were you going to tell me?” I say in a disapproving tone “tell you what? there was nothing to tell” he says back obviously knowing what I mean “oh so you didn't think to tell your sister that you got in to the army after trying for years, come on Steve” I say slightly annoyed this time. Agent Carter, Colonel Phillips, and Erskine listening in “okay I'm sorry I didn’t know what you would say or think” Steve says softly “I’m happy for you. I know how long you wanted this. But you better tell me next time something big happens Steven” I say calmly “you can’t boss me around, I’m still older than you” he replies jokingly with a smirk on his face. I roll my eyes playfully and earning a shove in the shoulder from him “I’m still taller sucker” I say back joking causing him to roll his eyes sarcastically. I smile at him “go eat before the wind blows you away” I joke once more. He rolls his eyes again and walks to the mess hall. “I like you, Miss Rogers” I hear Agent Carter say behind me “thank you, ma’am” I say as I turn around standing at attention “at ease soldier, and you can call me Peggy” she says with a gentle voice “yes ma’am” I respond and she chuckles “follow me there's someone that wants to meet you” she says and starts walking getting in a jeep motioning for me to get in. We pull into a spot in front of one of the larger tents, she stays silent as we walk through the tent to a space with Howard Stark, Erskine, and Colonel Phillips sitting at a table, a yellow file sitting there my name on it. “Hello Miss Rogers, I know you must be confused as to why we had Agent Carter bring you here today” Howard says as he leans his elbows forward on the table “yes sir” I say looking at them trying to read the room. “Well, we would like to recruit you to a different unit the S.S.R. or the strategic scientific reserve” Erskine says watching my reaction. I look at them “And what exactly is the S.S.R. if I may ask?” I ask curiously “well we’re an allied organization and our goal is to stop the nazis” Peggy says I look at them not really knowing what to say “when do I start?” I say looking at Erskine “tomorrow morning 0700 I'll come pick you up at the base” Peggy says “you will still attend your training every morning with the rest of the recruit like earlier, and you will tell no one and I mean no one that we have recruited you is that understood recruit?” Colonel Phillips says in a tone of this is not a question it's a demand. “Yes sir” I say as I nod my head. The next morning, in the barracks women on the left side of the room and guys on the right. There were over 20 guys and three of us women. A curtain in between the bunks Steve probably being the only guy trying not to peak through the curtain making him the most respected guy there by the women, but hey that's my brother for you. I mean at least I can say I teach him something that women are equals and can do just as much if not more than a man. Once 0700 rolls around I stand out in front of the base as Peggy comes around with a car. “So where exactly are we going”?
