'Officer Webber' You say sadly as you answer the door.
'Daisy. Are you ready?' He holds out an arm for you and you gulp before you take it. He leads you over to the patrol car, opening the door for you. You give a warm Thankyou and step inside. As the door closes on you you feel your breath hitch a little. Today was the day.
The drive to the courthouse was silent for a while. You leaned your head against the window and stared out as you pass the houses.
'So, I've been listening to Captain America's speeches on the radio...' Officer Webber tries to make conversation.
A smile spreads across your face as you hear his title. 'He seemed like a great man, when I met him' Officer Webber continues.
You turn tour head to him. He was focused on the road, two hands on the wheel. Driving at a nice and easy pace.
'No doubt about it' You say back sweetly.
'How long is he away for?'
You sigh. 'Sorry I didn't mean...'
'No' You stop him apologising. 'It's fine. Seven more weeks. Unless....' You stop yourself a moment. 'Unless they get called to war...' You gulp as you say the words.
'Well. He's pretty much indestructible now isn't he? Super soldier their calling him'
You chuckle a little but it's from nerves. 'Yeah...yeah...'
You pull up to the courthouse and Officer Webber turns to face you. 'Are you sure you're up for this?'
You take one more breath and close your eyes. All you can see is Steve and Bucky cheering you on.
'Im up for it' You say back sincerely.
(ONE HOUR LATER)
You take a deep breath and knock on the door. You swallow your pride and clench your fists. You had to do this.

' W-what're you doing here?' Peggy answers the door to see you standing there.
'My mother was just charged with assistance to murder' You blurt out.
Peggy frowns. 'I'm sorry?'
'Me too. Because at first I thought you had killed my father. Turns out it was her new husband. They've just got a warrant out for his arrest'
Peggy looks at you confused. 'Why're you telling me this?'
As your eyes meet you feel your stomach churn. 'May I come in?' You ask as politely as you can.
Peggy goes to say something but stops herself before pushing the door open further.
You step into the hallway and she leads you down to a living room. It was the complete opposite of minimalistic. A large grandfather clock in one corner of the room and a shelf of antique plates stacked high in the other.
'Wow...' You look around shocked.
Peggy clears her throat and that's when you realise you were gawking.
'So now I'm free of suspected murder. What do you want?' Peggy tries to stand her ground.
'I need your help' You say back bluntly. Peggy scoffs and you raise your eyebrows.
'Daisy. You were the reason I was fired'
'Correction. I believe you were the reason I was fired'
'Daisy...'
'No. Just listen. You're going to help me, or I get Steve to press charges'
'For what?!'
'Sexual harassment'
'You can't be serious?'
You give her a small smirk and you see the colour drain from her face. 'Try me'
'Okay...okay...what do you need?'
'The serum' You say back plainly.
'I-I'm sorry?'
'The serum. I want the serum'

Web of Isolation
Dane Kain: he was, on the whole, very uninvolved with life. He never had any particularly lingering attachments to life and tended to let himself be carried away by the flow of things, a fact that would become very important after his sudden death when he awoke as something completely alien. Using some half remembered fun facts from his passing obsessions in life as well as a penchant for making things work that simply shouldn't, hopefully Dane will stand a chance as the creation he has now become.
