'Recruits, attention!' Kiara says as she and Peggy walk infront of the group.

'Gentlemen, I am agent Carter and this is also agent Carter. We supervise all operations for this division.'

'What's with the demanding tone of yours? Aren't woman supposed to be at home?' A recruit asks. 'I thought I was signing up for the U.S. Army.'

'What's your name, soldier?'

'Gilmore Hodge, Your Majesty.'

'Step forward, Hodge.'

He takes a few steps forward.

'Put your right foot forward.'

He puts his right foot forward as he smirks a bit.

'We gonna wrassle?' He asks cockily. 'Cause I got a few moves I know you'll like.'

Kiara punches him in the face, hard and he falls to the ground with a groan. This makes Steve smile at her.

'Agent Carter!'

'Colonel Phillips.' Kiara says.

'Sir.' Peggy says.

'I can see that you are breaking the candidates. That's good!' Phillips says. 'Get your ass up and out of that dirt and stand in that line at attention till somebody else tells you what to do.'

'Yes, sir!'

'General Patton has said that wars are fought with weapons, but they are won by men. We are going to win this war because we have the best men. And because they are going to get better. Much better. The Strategic Scientific Reverse is an Allied effort made up of the best minds in the world. Our goal is to create the best army in history. But every army starts with one man. At the end of this week, we will choose that man. He will be the first in a new breed of super-soldier. And they will personally escort Adolf Hitler to the gates of hell.'

'That flag means we're only at the halfway point. First man to bring it to me gets a ride back with the agents Carter. Move, move!'

Every soldier is trying to get that flag, but none of them seem to succeed.

'Nobody's got that flag in 17 years! Now fall back into line! Come on, fall in! Let's go! Get back into formation!'

Every soldier starts to go back into formation, except for Steve.

'Rogers! I said fall in!'

But Steve takes out the pin that's keeping the flag into the air and it drops to the ground. He walks to the flag and takes it off the mast.

'Hop on in, soldier.' Kiara says with a smile.

'Thank you, sir.' Steve says as he hands him the flag. Then he gets into the car next to Kiara.

'Faster, ladies! Come on.' Peggy says. 'My grandmother has more life in her, God rest her soul.'

'Move it!' Kiara says.

'Up.' Peggy says after a while. 'Jumping jacks, ten minutes.'

'Come on, girls.'

After a few minutes a grenade is thrown into the field. Everyone starts to run and hide while Steve jumps on it to shield it from the others.

'Get away! Get back!' He warns the others.

But the grenade never goes off.

'It was a dummy grenade.'

'All clear. Back in formation.'

'Is this a test?' Steve asks.

'I think it is.' Kiara says with a smile.

Erskine and Kiara are on their way to see Steve, Erskine is going to tell him he's the man.

But when they get there, they see that the others are surrounding him. Kiara quickly runs to the group and points a gun to Hodges' head.

'Tell me, Hodge. How attached are you to your head?'

'Very.' He says as he puts his hands up.

'Well, then I suggest you leave him alone, otherwise you won't have your head anymore. The same goes for the rest of you.'

They all nod and quickly walk away.

'He's all yours, Abe.' Kiara says.

'Thank you.'
