The Choice

Past and Future

It's been two years since the wild adventure Agent Margaret Carter had been on since starting anew. A case that was meant to be simple had turned into one she never expected. What is now known as the Isodyne Case was one of the strangest, and biggest, conspiracy cases the SRR, and the government, had ever encountered. The case itself was wrapped up within a few months, however, the new cases it lead too still continued to this day. It's been two years since she had been sent to Los Angeles to help an 'old friend' solve a complicated case. Ever since then they have become more. Even against protocol they made time to grow and fall in love; and yet it's never been easy. The two have had their bumps in the road, per say. Both professionally and personally. It was hard balancing work and love, those two worlds were meant to be separate and yet they always collided; making everything much more complicated than it needed to be.

There was no doubt they loved on another, to all of their co-workers it was obvious from the start, even if they couldn't figure it out themselves. Jack Thompson, Chief of the New York SSR office, and Carter's old work place, was one of the first to notice; hence sending her across the country to be with Sousa. Even the old telephone operator, now secretary in Los Angeles SSR branch, knew just how much the two cared for each other. It took some time, near death, old and relationships to get it right, but eventually they figured it out, and ever since then they have struggled and grown stronger. Peggy Carter and Daniel Sousa were and always have been partners- until the end. 

After the Isodyne case had closed, the top agent and LA Chief worked side by side and were hardly ever apart. The two practically lived together. Either Carter was at his home, or was residing as a guest at Howard Stark's penthouse; but more or less she was with Daniel. And seeing as she eventually transferred SSR branches from NY to LA, it was time to find permanent housing rather than staying with a friend or her lover. Rose Roberts was very helpful in that case. Peggy was set up within in 2 months with a home to call her own, and yet she still wasn't alone. Daniel would come by and the two would either work... or play. Either way they were together and never grew tired of being together.

You would think such strength, trust, and love could never be ruptured or broken, and yet it was...

It was the day Steve Rogers came back from the dead.
