A small line of soldiers stood talking amongst themselves waiting for orders. Kenzie made her way to the line,"Recruits, attention!" They snapped to attention and Kenzie walked down the line examining each one. "Gentlemen, I am Agent Davis. I supervise all operations for this division." One soldier spoke up," What's with the accent, Little Miss New York? I thought I was signing up for the US Army, not a beauty pageant." Kenzie straightened her stance and looked at the soldier. "What's your name, soldier?" He smirked at her, "Gilmore Hodge, Your Majesty."

"Step forward, Hodge." He stepped toward her and looked back at the soldier next to him with another smirk. "Put your right foot forward." He did as she asked. "We gonna wrassle? 'Cause I got a few movies I know you'll like." Kenzie reared back her first and punched him in the face sending him stumbling back and landed on the ground. As he held his face on the ground she looked down the part of the line she didn't get too yet and locked eyes with a pair of kind blue ones that were all to familiar to her. "Agent Davis!" a voice yelled behind her causing her to spin around and face the voice."Colonel Phillips!"

"I can see that you are breaking in the candidates. That's good! Get your ass up out of that dirt and stand on that line at attention till somebody comes and tell you what to do." Phillips said to Hodge who instantly stood. "Yes, sir!" Colonel Phillips walked down the line," General Patton has said that wars are fought with weapons, but they are won by men. We are going to win this war. Because we have the best-" He stopped his speech when his eyes landed on the shortest and skinniest soldier in the line. "men." He looked back at Kenzie, who continued to stare at the short soldier with wide eyes, and Erskine. "And because they are gonna get better... much better. " he said trailing off. "the Strategic Scientific Reserve is an Allied effort made up of the best minds in the free world. Our goal is to create the best army in history-"

Kenzie watched over all of the troops in the program. She attentively watched over Steve since she couldn't get involved in his training. One day, the candidates were doing stamina training, the group made it to a flagpole where Kenzie waited in a green army jeep with a clipboard and pencil taking notes on each candidate. Steve lagged behind the group breathing heavily. "Let's go, let's go! Double time! Come on! Faster! Faster! Move! Move! Squad, halt! " their instructor yelled. The group of men stopped as the instructor pointed up at the flag that flapped high above all of their heads. "That flag mean we're only at the halfway point! First man to bring it to me gets a ride back with Agent Davis! Move! Move! " All of the soldier ran for the pole, some tried to climb it only to be pulled off by other men. The instructor stood back and watched them struggle, "Nobody's got that flag in 17 years! Now fall back into line! Come on, fall in. " They grouped up again. Steve who had waited for them all to leave the pole walked up to it. He looked up at the flag thinking." Rogers! I said, fall in!" Kenzie whipped around at the sound of Steve's name and gave him a little nod of encouragement. He pulled the rod that was holding the pole straight up out and pushed the pole making it fall to the ground. Everyone watched in astonishment as he grabbed the flag, handed it to the instructor and jumped in the jeep behind to Kenzie who looked back him. They gave each other a smile and drove off leaving the other soldiers behind. "You did great, Steve."
