2 | Agent King

Back to what I was saying about now. Now, Im gonna get everything Ive ever wanted. My eyes were gleaming down at the letter in front of me.

Dear Miss. King,

We are pleased to tell you, you have passed all basic training, greatly exceeding our expectations. Your application has been reviewed and approved for the SSR program.

You will need to report to your S.O., Agent Carter in 2 days, for your new assignment.

We look forward to you joining us, Agent King.

Sincerely,

      SSR Corporal Offices

Agent! AGENT! Im an Agent now! Agent King! Damn, thats got a nice ring to it.

I gripped the letter tight in my hand and raised it high in the air. I jumped up in the air, looking like a little girl getting her first doll. Except now I get my first gun.

"You got the letters?" Wills voice comes from behind me.

I nearly forgot. My hands shuffled through the junk mail, and found the letter stamped with his name. Will snatched the letter from my fingers and tore it open.

He chucked the envelope to the ground and hurriedly unfolded the paper.

"Well?" I ask hopefully.

His eyes frantically scan the letter and he jumps in the air just as I did. "Yes! Sergeant King!" He shouts.

"Were in!" I jump up and he picks me up in his arms.

"We did it! Were both in!" I screamed.

He put me down and re-read the letter, making sure he hadnt been dreaming. This was perfect, even though there was a good chance we would be separated. Wed been waiting for this our whole lives.

"We have to celebrate tonight!" Will says excitedly.

"Wait, what if Steve and Bucky didnt get in?" I remind him.

Wills expression changed, and he raised his eyebrows at me. "We both know only one of them got in." He said sheepishly.

I slapped his shoulder and pushed him aside. "Shut up, we dont know that."

I know that Steve wasnt the biggest guy out there, but still, he wants this more than any of us.

"Hey, I think Steve is the best of us," Will says in defence of himself. "But recruiters dont see him the way we do." Hes not wrong.

I knew he was right, but that doesnt mean he didnt have a chance. I snatched the letters from him and stuffed them in my bag.

"Fine, but, were not telling them until they know too." I say threateningly to him. "Not a word!"

"Fine!" He says raising his hands up in defense. "My lips are sealed."

"Good."

I didnt sleep a lot that night. I kept thinking about Bucky and Steve. I expected Bucky to get in, he applied for the sergeant position. He was gonna get it.

We were all meeting up later today, and Will had advised me that we just tell them. Im still not sure, I mean, we leave tomorrow so I dont think we have a choice.

I had some time before we were meeting them, so I went with Will to pick up our uniforms. The lady there handed us each a box, and gave us a room to change.

I rummaged through the box, it looked similar to the Sergeants uniform, but a skirt instead. There were a few hidden weapons, but my favorite piece was the ID badge. Agent Annabelle King.
