A FEW DAYS FOLLOWING THE liberation of Bucky and his fellow soldiers, a group of them accompianed Marta, Steve, Peggy and Thomas to the SSR base in London. Steve and Marta were entering the base as super-soldiers this time, both of them remincising of the first time they saw the other after the transformation.

        Marta wore her typical green uniform decorated with her armada of pins, indicating her class in both the Army and the Aeronautical Divison. She had been promoted to First Lieutenant the day prior, something she had been working towards for two years. Her hair was done in two braids tied into a braided bun, giving her a very elegant, classy look.

        Steve had yet to ask Marta out on a date. Both Bucky and Peggy were urging him to do so, but he was waiting for the right opportunity. He wanted it to be perfect. Marta knew something was up with Steve, but she didn't know what. He had suddenly gotten extremely good at hiding his feelings from Marta.

        The two stood with Peggy, Thomas, and other members of the SSR, creating a map of the other Hydra bases based upon the one Steve and Marta had seen while rescusing Bucky. "The fifth one was here in Poland, right near the Baltic." Steve pointed to the location and drew in a base.

        "The sixth one was right about here," Marta added the base in as she spoke. "maybe 40 miles west of the Maginot Line." An SSR agent took the map away as Marta finished.

        Steve turned to Peggy. "We just got a quick look." He said, noticing Thomas's consistent gaze on Marta. It made him wonder if something was going on between them.

        Peggy stood. "Well, nobody's perfect." She teased, leading the others over to where Colonel Phillips stood over the map.

        "These are the weapons factories we know about." Steve said as he and Marta walked up to Phillips, Thomas behind them.

        "Sergeant Barnes told us that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility, a larger facility that isn't on this map." Marta finished, hands behind her back as she stood straight as a needle.

        Colonel Phillips nodded, moving away. The group of four followed him. "Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every Allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base."

        "What about us?" Thomas asked, walking between Peggy and Steve.

        "We are gonna set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass," A Private handed Phillips a file. "What do you say, Rogers? Lieutenant? It's your map. You think you two can wipe Hydra off of it?" Phillips asked, and Steve and Marta glanced at each other.

        Steve spoke. "Yes, sir. We'll need a team." He said.

        "We're already putting together the best men." Colonel Phillips said, glancing down at the file in his hands.

        Marta smiled. "With respect, sir, so are we." The Lieutenant said, briefy locking eyes with Steve once more.

        Colonel Phillips nodded. "Anything else?" He asked, softly rolling his eyes.

        "I'll need access to two fighter jets. Fully equipped. As well a large array of explosive materials." Marta said, Thomas smiling beside her. Both had missed flying very much, and Marta was feeling the need to build bombs for her jet.

        Phillips sighed, walking away after agreeing to Marta's terms. Peggy and Thomas left to attend to other matters, and Steve and Marta moved through the base, searching for Bucky. "Explosive materials?" Steve questioned, hands at his sides, blonde hair shining in the lamp-light.
