"With Mary?" Peggy asked, slightly surprised. She pursed her lips and nodded a little. "Well, that surprises me a little but at the same time it doesn't at all. She is, after all, near our own time period. I hope you won't lead her along. She was dating the captain for a while before he broke things off with her, and I know it upset her." She hoped Mary wouldn't mind her saying so, but she considered her a close friend and she didn't want to see her get hurt.

She shrugged. "I've been seeing Phil Coulson."

He wanted to be offended at the idea of leading a lady on, but he really couldn't. He'd done it more than once and he was well aware of that. In reality, he didn't know exactly where things were going with Mary. He knew that he enjoyed spending time with her... she was soft and warm but still strong in all the right places and far more refined than he could ever dream of being. And he was about to say so when Peggy casually dropped her little revelation.

"Coulson... He works with you, right? Isn't he old enough to be your father?"

Howard choked on his own drink, realizing what he'd said. "I mean, if you're happy, that's fantastic Peg, he's just not the kind of fella I imagined you'd be going with."

Peggy rolled her eyes. Visibly. And with feeling. "Honestly, Howard, you usually prefer women half your age. Couldn't one argue that you're old enough to be one of their fathers?" It wasn't entirely true but it could be, one day, true. She crossed her arms and looked at him. "I'll have you know that Phil was a part of an organization that you and I, apparently, one day found. He's probably exactly the sort of gentleman I might end up with in that case."

"Half my age would be illegal, Peg," he said, giving her a look. And Howard wasn't going to say that it had never happened, but when it had, he had been the one who was lied to, not the other way around.

"I'm sure he's a swell guy. He'd have to be, if we hire him." Because Howard had an idea about what she was referring to- about the organization. The concept of it was still being rolled around, but it was looking good. "I'm just saying there is a noticeable age difference. I'm not judging you on it, or him, but to say that I didn't notice would be a big damn lie."

He took another drink and cleared his throat. "Besides... I think we both know exactly who you end up with, Peg."

"When did something being illegal even stop you before," she quipped, though Peggy let him know she was teasing in this instance. Because even that would be a step too far for Howard, and she knew he wasn't a complete prat.

She finished her wine and set the glass aside. "Well, from my understanding or at least it's been implied, I'm gone by the time he's hired." That wasn't a surprise, given the difference in time and the years gapped between her time and Phil's. "And yes, I've noticed too, Howard, and it doesn't bother me."

She flushed and leveled her gaze at him. "I certainly hope you're not talking about you, Howard, because I know that's not true. I've had a chance to know Tony since I've been here."

	Howard chuckled, shaking his head. "Peg, I love you but you're too much woman for me. And I am man enough to admit that I wouldn't survive a romantic relationship with you." That was probably the most truthful Howard had ever been in his life. "Nah, I mean the agent with the leg." He paused, frowning. "Sousa? I think his name was Sousa."

	She didn't admit that she'd considered it, with him, more than once. But she agreed with his assessment all the same. They would never have made it as a couple. Or as anything romantic at all. A frown shadowed her face at the mention of Agent Sousa. "Daniel," she said with a light nod, her gaze drifting away. "Yes, well, he's not here," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's the guy." Howard swirled the scotch in his glass, watching Peggy. Honestly, he didn't blame her for finding companionship with someone. It was just shock that made him respond the way he had. "So, this Coulson fella... He treat you right, Peg?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, Howard," she said, slightly exasperated. "He's well aware that I would kick his arse if he didn't treat me well." (Reply to this) (Parent)
