on mun rewatching agent carter and missing writing her.

[the_codebreaker]

If I may, mun? I recommend putting me back at once. I was quite happy with where I resided. Truly, I was. This isn't going to go well, not for anyone involved now, or whom happens to be later on.

So do everyone a favor and abandon the idea of trying to find a place, game, or wherever it is you are looking to see if they'll have me at.



Before I forget to mention it, but this isn't how you tend to celebrate one's birthday, darling. Do try to do better next year, please.

Yes, I know 11 days is far too late. She insisted anyway.

[war_widow]

Aw, Peg. How can you expect to have any fun if you won't come out to play?

For a Dottie it's well worth the wait. <3 Peg disagrees.

[the_codebreaker]

I assure you, our definitions of fun are vastly different. I do hope you come out though. I wouldn't mind a chance to put you back where you belong. We're far from finished.

<3

[war_widow]

Oh gosh I hope so, Peggy. Otherwise, what if next time you can't find me when you need my help?

[the_codebreaker]

There won't be a next time. You've nothing left to be useful for. Other than the satisfaction brought about by knowing you are one hundred percent completely miserable in a teensy six wall prison.

[war_widow]

Is that so? And what will happen when you're hurt again? While inevitably going behind your own organization's back? Again.

Since you've now learned to count, help me out: you've done it at least twice now, is that right?

[the_codebreaker]

Things have changed. For the better. There will not be a need for going behind anyone's back.

Congratulations you can count. How splendid. While we're at it, can you count how often you've been apprehend by me? Oh! Better yet, can you count the number of times your own organization has come to your aid?

[war_widow]

You just keep telling yourself that, Peg, if it makes you feel better. Even if you've happened to have taken care of Masters, you think he hasn't left a million snakes in the nest to continue the corruption?

[tilts her head away (totally NOT to hide the sting of that last remark, and if you believe that I'll tell you another), and then stares back at Peggy after a beat.] I respect my organization and accept it operates the way it does for a reason. My loyalty has never come into question.

And frankly, it's laughable that you expect me to respect YOUR rule of law when you have demonstrated no respect for it yourself. Otherwise you would have arrested Howard without question last year and trusted YOUR completely marvelous and perfect system of so-called American "justice" to sort it out.

Then again, no one respects your authority either so I suppose it all balances out in the end. You know I didn't even have to beg that police officer to open the trunk? It's like you simply telling him not to was all the invitation he needed. [smirks]

[the_codebreaker]

I'm sure he has. All it takes is a single rat to lure all the snakes from the grass and out into the open, Dottie. That's all. [There was an air of confidence and a tinge of arrogance in the way she stated it, carefully observing the way Dottie reacted.]

Howard is a good man with a brilliant mind, one with actual integrity and there were men who rather a shut and closed case without bothering to do their job. I respect the justice system enough to have conducted my own investigation and have all the facts before arresting a man. In this case an innocent man.

Do you hear yourself Dottie? Truly hear yourself. You talk about respect as if you have any idea what such a word means. I don't care how others view me, that's their choice. As far as the officer? Well, weak men will always be weak. You however are not weak. You're merely a coward, right to the core.

[eyes flicker a moment, perhaps, however briefly, indicating surprise at where Peggy appears to be taking this. Then her face goes largely blank, apart from watching and listening to Peggy intently. Toward the end, a hint of a smile curls up one corner of her mouth. When she speaks again, she appears to ignore all of Peggy's comments save one. ]

Careful, Peggy. The last time your adoptive country relied upon a "single rat" to save them, he ended up crashing into the Arctic Ocean.

Though victory he might have brought us all in that moment, now he's gone forever. And the snakes still slither.
