Devil in Disguise • Agent Carter [ON HOLD]

𝙽𝚘. 𝟹

April 1946

I was angry but I not as angry as Anastasia was, this morning we found out that Demidov failed to report back and was now declared a failure, Leet Brannis is dead and all the Nitramene was gone - gone as in, set off, imploded, now a massive ball of waste.

Demidov had found the Nitramene buyer and went after them where he came in contact with Brannis, and some other unknown. The trunk load of weapons fell in a rather large lake causing them to set off and implode. Lovely.

So of course I wasn't thrilled to see Peggy Carter limping into the office knowing two things would come from it; I'd have to do an accident report if she filled for it or if she didn't I was to ask her and the other being that no doubt; she had something to do with Dolohov failure to bring Brannis in. I also had now doubt Brannis gave her more information about the other weapons he stole, unfortunately leviathan was still looking for those too.

"Carter," I caught her with a smile as she walked through the door, "hate to sound odd here but you're limping, are you alright?" I asked in an innocent voice making her force a smile at me.

"Just caught my heel on a pebble I'll be fine." She said as we both walked further into the office area, I noticed her stopping so I turned to look where she was looking to find three agents - Jack Thompson, Chief Dooley and Daniel Sousa - huddled over pictures - of what we could see but we could sure guess.

"Ladies, come here for a second." Cheif Dooley waved us over to look at the photos of who I thought would be Carter but I would soon be wrong.

"Come here, come here. Settle a bet for us." He asked us both before holding up a photo, "is that Joe DiMaggio?" He asked but more towards Peggy than I, I just stood there waiting. I felt eyes on me and looked to see Agent Thompson looking at me in thought, I quickly looked away from him while faking a small embarrassing look in my face. Why was he looking at me?

"I don't follow boxing." Her voice snapped Jack out of his thought and caused him to laugh with the other two males at Carter's answer to the question. The men began talking about this DiMaggio guy and if it was or wasn't him.

I stood looking down at the photos, able to see me in the back of one of them, talking with Ana but neither of our faces were fully in show - I could tell from our outfits. Carter and Sousa were talking about something until I saw him pulling out a photo of Peggy from the night Spider Raymond was killed but she had her back turned to the camera in every single shot they got if her. Smart Carter, smart.

I sighed and bid them both goodbye so I could go back to my office, I was hardly the start of the day so I had more work to do.

A couple days later and after a while working here, I was sat in my office, the door lock and my phone on 'block trace' as I called back to the house to talk to Ana.
