"Peggy..."
"I'm here."
"I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance..."
"All right. A week next Saturday at The Stork Club."
"You've got it."
"Eight o'clock on the dot. Don't you dare be late. Understood?"
"You know, I still don't know how to dance..."
"I'll show you how. Just be there..."
"We'll have the band play something slow..."
"I'd hate to step on your--"

Captain Steve Rogers woke with a start, grasping for his shield. Breathing heavily, he looked around, sighing. He was in a cold sweat, shaky, and haunted by that memory... the last thing he remembered before going under for 70 long years... He regretted leaving others to fight the good fight without him... He regretted losing his best friend... but he regretted not seeing Peggy Carter's face again... "Its what you had to do.." Rogers would always tell himself... but that didn't matter much at night. He looked at the clock on the side of his bed. The small room he had was decorated in 40's styled posters. It was around 6 in the morning... about the time he would always wake up. He stumbled out of bed, wearing nothing but boxer shorts and a white t-shirt. Minutes later he came out of the bathroom, with his blonde hair neatly done, wearing a new t-shirt, and some cargo pants and boots. He looked like a soldier, a very handsome one at that. He grabbed a small dufflebag with workout equipment, and headed for the gym inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

Ever since the battle of New York he has been a covert S.H.I.E.L.D. operative, working with other agents like Black Widow and Hawkeye. He walked to the punching bags. It was old fashioned, but it was routine for him, and it let out most of his worries... He wrapped tape around his hands, got into position, and started punching away as he did many times before.

---

Two hours went by and Rogers had already broken three bags, and he was hardly breaking a sweat. He kept punching until he heard a voice from behind him. "Um... Captain Rogers?" Steve stopped and turned to see a woman wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, admiring Rogers. He was a living legend. A man whose stories were told to many people. He was a true american icon, and seeing him here in the modern world usually gave people a sense of awe. "Director Fury would like to speak to you about a mission..." She said.

Rogers nodded. "Thank you, Ma'am. Tell him i'll be up soon." He said, taking off the tape from his hands. As he did he wondered what this mission would be this time. stealth land in the deserts of the Middle East and destroy missiles? Or the arctic tundra to stop an elite team of russian terrorists from making weapons of mas destruction? He grabbed his bag, tossed it over his shoulder, and walked back to his room. After showering and changing into an athletic shirt and new cargo pants, he made his way towards the elevator, pressing the button to Nick Fury's office.

Growing up Sharon had always heard stories about captain America from her aunt Peggy. Most of them had been about the time the two had been able to share before he had gone on his last mission. Knowing her aunt had never moved on slightly upset her but even as a young child she knew losing someone you loved would take a toll on your heart. When Steve had been found alive she only wished that her Aunt had survived long enough to see him again even if he had never aged a day since she last seen his face.

Walking down the hall towards the directors office she could see a figure but took a moment before knowing who is was. Wondering how to be around him after the storied she heard it was obvious about one thing, she couldn't bring up anything about Peggy incase it was a hard time remembering the past. As her heels clicked with every step she soon stood before him. "It's nice to finally meet you Captain Rogers, director furry has told me lots about you." She stated in a very professional tone as she reached out her hand to shake his.

As he exited the elevator, and started walking towards Fury's office, he spotted a beautiful blonde haired woman walk towards him. As she spoke to him he hesitated for words. Although he was supposed to be perfect both physically and mentally, one of his weaknesses were still women. "The pleasure is all mine, Miss...?" He trailed off, waiting for her to respond with her name, taking her hand and shaking it firmly. He assumed since they were both heading to Fury's office that they were going to be involved in the mission somehow, how though was anyone's guess as of right now.

Smiling she introduced herself to him as agent 13 not wanting him to know quite yet who she was. Opening the door they both walked into Furry's office and she took a seat infront of his desk. "You wanted to see us sir?" She asked in her soft tone while pulling a chunk of hair away from her eyes.

Rogers nodded at her name. It didn't surprise him that she didnt say her full name. This place was full of secrets. And he's had some rough times with secrets they kept. Especially Nick Fury's. He gave a salute to Fury as he came in, letting Agent 13 talk. "At ease, Captain." Fury said. "Have a seat. both of you." Rogers sat down in a chair. "So it isn't a secret. I have a mission for you two." He took a seat himself, looking at the two as the windows closed, and a giant screen appeared behind Fury. "over the past 70 years, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been fighting against HYDRA. And after Rogers took his nap, we had a few of the world's greatest helping find, and destroy the hidden Hydra bases after the war." Steve Rogers tensed up as old friends started to appear on the screen. Peggy Carter's face on the screen made him freeze all together. "Agent Carter took control of the program with Howard Stark. They got most of them... but not all. We found one recently in the northern Sweden. A few mountain patrols found the base, told the station they were going to investigate... and they never came out."

The screen showed a map of the area. Rogers took note of it, and remembered every part of it almost instantly. His photographic memory came in handy for that stuff. "I would like the two of you to go in and investigate... Agent 13 has the modern day skills and techniques... and Captain Rogers is the only living man who has the capability of fighting HYDRA head on... Your ride will be here in an hour. So suit up, pack, and further instructions will be on your trip to Sweden." Fury said to them.

She looked over to Steve and in a manner her heart sunk. She knew about his past with people who had been involved with taking down HYDRA. Standing up she turned her back to both men as she walked towards the door her hair bouncing off her back slightly with each step. "I know this mission is cutting it close to home for you captain, but it's an honor to be working by your side on it." She stated with a soft tone as she turned to face both men again as she rested her back to the door.

Roger's mind was racing with images back before he froze. Explosions, shouting, HYDRA weapons firing at him. He snapped back to reality, standing up, he gave a nod to Fury. He turned to watch Agent 13 walk towards the door, talking to him. He gave a nod to her statement. Looking at her there was a certain something about her that made him feel like he met her before, which was impossible though... But looking at her facial features... he realized he had been staring too long. Fury raised his eyebrows. "I just wish i could have been there with everyone helping to take HYDRA out sooner." Rogers said, his voice serious, but a hint of sadness, and regret.

"You're helping now, Captain. Sitting back and regretting won't win wars... you should know that too." He said. Ever since the Battle of Manhattan, Fury and Rogers didn't get along. Rogers found out that SHIELD was planning on making weapons based off of Red Skull's creation. It was a slap to the face to Rogers. He felt like nothing in his modern era was honest. "Well then, lets get suited up." Steve said, giving Agent 13 a small smile of reassurance. Even now Fury had a sense of new courage and hope as Steve was here, saying these words. Steve went out the doors after Agent 13, then to his locker to get the new and improved Captain America suit.
