Peggy's POV

"Rogers!" I shout throughout the house as I walk in the door

"Ma!" the children shout as they run

When they get to me, I pick the up and set them on each hip.

"I am going on a mission, far, far away from here. I really hate doing this, you know I hate leaving the three of you, but I need to do this in order to prove your Uncle innocent." I tell them

Sarah and Katherine begin to cry.

"Who's gonna take care of us?" Kathy asks

"You will be staying with Mr. Jarvis and his wife Ana, they've taken care of you before and I know they enjoy your company." I explain

I look down on my shoulders to see the girls weeping, I make my way from the door and sit on the couch with the girls still holding onto me.

"Why do you always have to leave?" Kathy asks through her tears

"I have things that the world needs, that sadly and somewhat welly, only I can provide."

"But Sarah's only a baby, she's gonna grow up thinking that she grew up without a mother or father." Katherine points out

"I'll be home soon, I just need to do this for all of us."

"If you keep leaving, the children may form an aversion to you." Barbara mentions as she walks down the stairs

"Barbara, as much as I love having you here I can't pay you." I nod towards her

"As long as you can house me, and give me enough food to survive..i'll be fine."

"Not that I want you to go, but you'd be better off in someone else's home." I point out

"I'm doing fine here, you don't want to be late to work. I'll stay back when you take the children to their temporary place of stay." Barbara smiles sadly

"Thank you, Barbara." I nod with a small smile of my own

She carries all of the bags out to a car that's waiting outside, I check the driver to see that it's Mr. Jarvis who volunteered to pick us up even during such a bad time.






Polish side of Russian Border-Peggy's POV

While Agent Li collects our parachutes, I make a structure of sticks and brush to keep us hidden from any potential enemies that we need to be prepared for.

"I'll take Li, Carter you're in back..stay tight." Agent Thompson instructs the group

I do as i'm told and follow behind so we can find the Commandos, I've missed them quite actually. Last time I saw them was the day of Sarah's birth until they were on call for missions and important engagements that regard work. With our barrels up we take our defensive stance while walking through the trees until we hear guns clicking.

"Don't move..Emu." a voice commands through the trees

"What?" Thompson whispers to me

"Ostrich, man..Ostrich." another says from behind us

"Shut up." another announces in a hushed tone

I connect the dots as I let my gun out of a protective position in my hands, me pushing the agents' guns down as I make my way to my men.

"Emu." the familiar voice repeats

"Carter, Dugan forgot the password again." Dernier whispers
