Peggy—Captain Carter—was more tired than she could remember being. Ever since she received Erskine's serum, she could go longer without needing sleep, but even with that, the mission to Belarus and back had taken something out of her. Leading The Howling Commandos as the tactical team for a Strategic Scientific Reserve team led by Agent Jack Thompson, they met up on the Polish side of the Soviet border and went by Dum Dum Dugan's recommendation of heading to Lithuania and cross the border through the city of Ashmyany in Belarus. They came across the boarding school that hid its true purpose. The young girl that had stabbed Dugan, shot and killed Junior Juniper, and later Mike Li and wounded Happy Sam Sawyer in the leg. "Russia has been training young women to be undercover operatives." Her tone brooked no refusal. Everyone who entered that facility had to know the validity of her statement. Everything they saw the facade of the American classroom, where the reel of cartoons with the subliminal messaging underneath, and the large room with beds like a boarding school. They had to understand what it was they saw. "The girl who killed Juniper and Li and wounded Sawyer was so young. Just a child, really. And she tore through us. Imagine what it would be like to tangle with one that's all grown up?" Chief Dooley of the SSR was looking more stressed by the moment. "And we have reason to believe one of these... these... trained female agents, an adult version, is here in New York?" "I would say it seems to be a likely conclusion," Peggy reasoned. "The men without the voice boxes warned us that Leviathan is coming, and then we receive a coded transmission from that facility in Belarus? That suggests a connection." "Alright," said Dooley. "This is your circus, Carter. You figure out what the hell is going on in my city and just keep me in the loop on it." With her marching orders, Peggy returned to her room at The Griffith Hotel. As messy as the mission had proven itself to be, this was a clue. A step in the right direction. Hopefully one step closer to clearing Howard Stark's name. |
