In the few days she'd been here Peggy had seen most of her beliefs turned on their ears. Each day was a bombardment of change, or new discoveries that were beyond the imaginings of anyone; well with the possible exception of Howard.
How she missed her dear friend now, he would glory in this place with all it's technology and people. Howard had ever been held back by the limits of a brilliant mind decades ahead of the resources to let it run free. Yet even with such limitations he had been a genius beyond measure; a fact which might have been more bearable if he had been less aware of it. She smiled in the memory of annoyance with him, as all close friends they had faced their trails and tests of faith in one another and time and again prevailed. In fact there had only been the one mutual failure, one which haunted her even after she'd moved on into another phase of her life.
She fully believed it was this failure that had given her the amulet she had now, a replica of one which she had seen in news reels and on occasion in person. It wasn't fancy or fashionable, it was simply a small compass. Inside were her emotions, a true direction of her life. Though the original shared her likeness within she knew that would not be insider her own.
Her fingers closed over the amulet, taking strength from it and the memory it contained. He had made her stronger, even in the loss of him her had driven her to not give up, to not simply accept the passive roll of secretary and coffee girl. Steve Rogers had never and likely would never stop influencing her life and she thanked him for it. He made everyone who knew him better and stronger than they had been before.
"Alright Carter, get on your feet and march." She chided herself for not having found more of a footing here in this new place, she took a deep breath and set about on her way to a new life.
