Who: Peggy and Eggsy
Where: Unsure yet
What: Peggy is herself! Eggsy is... also herself... eh
When: Backdated! To that brief window of time where Peggy wasn't the Winter Soldier any more and Eggsy was still a girl
Rating: girly

Eggsy was making his way towards the hospital, fighting through the snow and swearing the whole way. There was no way he could run or even walk quickly through snow like this, and parkour was entirely out of the question. JB had the right idea, he reckoned, refusing to go out when the snow was even deeper than the little dog was tall, but it meant Eggsy had a free hand to carry a box with a couple of cupcakes in it so that Peggy (or Anna, as this weird version of her wanted to be called) could have something nice while they had some incredibly welcome tea.

A gust of wind hit him as he skidded rounded a corner, and knocked him flat on his arse, sending the box with the cupcakes inside flying. "Oh, you're shittin' me now! You havin' a fuckin' giggle, eh? Fuckin'... Fuck!" he grumbled as he got back to his feet and tried to brush the snow from his now-soaking clothes, before digging his phone out of his pocket and sending a quick text.

"Привет, Anna, this is Eggsy. I'll be round for tea in about five minutes. Think you can get to the hospital stores and find some spare blankets? I fell in the snow. Stop laughing!"

Peggy felt like she had had a piercing hangover headache all morning when she hadn't touched a drop the night before. She thought that it must be a leftover from the Winter Soldier, or so Bucky and Steve had explained to her, how that mind was so jumbled there was bound to be leftovers. She had napped in the dark as it had set in and it seemed to abate more.

Her phone pinged in her pocket as she cleaned the kitchen methodically, the place just slightly wrong from where things normally were. "Bloody hell, what now..." she sighed, as Bucky had been hovering over her all day until she frogmarched them both out so she could spend time with the babies.

"Anna?" she said out loud and texted back, "Eggsy, why are you calling me Anna? And I'd rather laugh when you're here."

	He'd got as far as a doorway of some shop when his phone buzzed in his pocket, so he ducked in out of the snow for a few moments to reply. "You asked me to," he replied, before sending another a few seconds later. "Wait. Is you you again???? :D" And then a few seconds after that one, he sent another. "Where's here? You ain't in the hospital no more?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She had started scrubbing the floor when her phone pinged again and everything slid into place again. He must have been in contact with her as The Winter Soldier and she must have chosen another name. "Ah so you met the alter ego. I'm home now yes, it's not been long though, apparently. Where are you, darling?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah. I'm in a shop but I'm heading to your place now! Be there ASAP" he sent, before changing direction completely and going towards Peggy's house.

It took longer than he'd thought, still not used to making his way through so much bloody snow, but soon enough, he found himself knocking on Peggy's front door. He shivered almost constantly as he stood there, hugging himself and jumping up and down to keep moving and hopefully keep himself warm. Tea soon!

	Putting on the kettle for his imminent arrival, she busied herself with tidying until there was a knock at her door. Thinking it was Eggsy, she pulled off her gloves and set them aside, going to the front door and opening it. To a woman? She was visibly surprised and stood a little straighter, slightly wary. "Oh hello. Can I help you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eggsy frowned, just as confused, until he realised what was going on. It was Anna who'd met him as a girl before, not Peggy. Idiot.

"Yeah, it's me. Eggsy," he said with a grin, "Cos you ain't the only one the Island's been fuckin' about with, you get me? Can I come in? Only, it's fuckin' freezin' out here. It'd freeze my balls off, if I hadn't already gone and lost 'em."

	Realisation dawned on her face and she laughed, leaning back to let him through. It made far more sense to her, "Oh my poor love," she laughed still, letting him get inside to warm up said non-existent genitals. "Come inside, tea's nearly done brewing, darling." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thank you!" He pushed the door shut behind him and stamped about a bit to get feeling back into his feet, then unbuttoned his Kingsman-issue coat and shrugged it off. He hung it up on the coat hook close by, then slipped off his boots as well. He hadn't bothered looking for girl-clothes, just making do with his own stuff. He'd only lost a couple of inches, height-wise, so the tracksuits didn't look too bad on him. Just a bit baggier than usual, really. His legs were soaking, though, and nowhere near warm.

He paused beside Peggy and gave her a quick hug once he was mostly free of wet clothing. "Good to see you's back. Anna was ...uh. Interesting? But she weren't you."

"I take it you prefer the real me then?" Peggy asked, brushing the snow off his coat so it wasn't ruined with the wetness too badly. She recognised its cut and the stitching, her eyes flashing in recognition for the briefest of moments. "Come along, Eggsy, I'll find you some warm towels and some dry clothes. Bucky's slim, his things will fit you..." she muttered and lead him into the kitchen.

Peg messed around with the tea, making it exactly how Eggsy preferred it and sliding it to him, "Do you want something to eat? You're looking a little.. pale?" she guessed, judging by how blonde he was now.

He grabbed the tea and held it with both hands, taking a big mouthful of it before his hands protested at the sudden rise in temperature and he had to put the tea back down.

"Uh, yeah, food'd be great. I swear I didn't plan to come here and eat all your stuff, Peggy. I'd actually got some buns from the bakery for Anna to try but they got ruined when I fell over. Got hit with the wind, yeah? It'd cut you in two out there at times."

"Poor lamb," she replied sympathetically, trying not to chuckle at his over eagerness with the tea. "I best not be eating cupcakes since I'm already the size of a house," she muttered and went through her pantry, "I can make you some eggs or beans on toast or a bacon sandwich?" she asked, trying to think of something to fill him up. "Why on earth were you even outside in this weather? I had to think twice sending my husbands out in that."

	"Bacon! If that's okay?" he replied, before shrugging and pushing his too-long hair back from his face. "And I was goin' to see you, wasn't I?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Laughing at the speed of his reply, she waddled to the fridge, "Bacon it is, the proper bacon mind, none of that streaky stuff my family likes. So strange..." she reached for a frying pan set him a few rashers to fry.

He still looked a little blue in the face, "You want to come with me and see if any of Bucky's clothes will fit you? You'll catch a death of clothes in those wet things."
