"Peg… Aunt Peggy?"
Sharon Carter from the main World, dressed as a scavenger, looked at the young, strong, and tall Peggy Carter, crying out in surprise and running over quickly.
Peggy Carter looked at the excited girl in front of her, blinked, and said with a light laugh, "I shouldn't be that old yet, right? And I don't remember having such a beautiful niece."
"Sharon, my name is Sharon Carter." Sharon Carter calmed down and said, "I, in my World, am your niece."
Peggy Carter nodded: "I have to say, this place is amazing. I never thought I would see a niece from another World one day. What did you do?"
Sharon Carter shook her head: "I didn't do anything."
"Didn't they say that only those who deviate from the predetermined trajectory of the timeline will be pruned?" Peggy Carter asked in confusion.
Sharon Carter shook her head again, her gaze directed towards Samuel not far away: "He, he replaced me with another me."
Peggy Carter understood. It was an undercover operation, replacing one person with another identical person for infiltration. This method could only be accomplished by Samuel, the Void Lord who could travel through different Worlds.
"For what?"
"S.H.I.E.L.D."
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"The full name of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. Its predecessor was the Strategic Scientific Reserve."
Peggy Carter suddenly understood. You say that, and I know it.
"His goal is the Strategic Scientific Reserve? Is it the S.H.I.E.L.D. you mentioned?"
Sharon Carter nodded, then shook her head: "Not entirely. I only knew after coming here that S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by HYDRA after World War II ended."
"HYDRA… They really are persistent!" Peggy Carter said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Samuel, who had taken a batch of void battle beads from Reed, walked over.
"Are you done talking? If you're done, follow me!"
Peggy Carter nodded to Sharon Carter and followed Samuel into a building in the distance.
In a room filled with women's supplies, Samuel took back the Wonder Woman uniform she was wearing and, under her angry gaze, took out a void battle bead for scanning.
"Stop staring. I've seen what needs to be seen. I'm making you a uniform. You find some underwear that fits and put it on first!" Samuel fiddled with the void battle bead, designing her uniform based on Captain Peggy's uniform from the What If...? series.
Soon, Peggy Carter, wearing her underwear, put on the void battle bead and bound her identity.
"Swish!"
The battle suit function was activated.
In an instant, countless nanoparticles spread out from the void battle bead. Before Peggy Carter could react to what was happening, the uniform was already put on.
Samuel waved his hand, and an extremely clear ice mirror appeared in front of her.
Looking at herself in the mirror, wearing a uniform with a Union Jack flag symbol, Peggy Carter's mouth dropped open in surprise: "This is so cool, I love it!"
She smiled sweetly at Samuel: "Thank you!"
"Don't thank me too soon. I have another special piece of equipment to give you, but it needs some time for minor modifications."
Since she is a Captain, how can she not have a shield?
Captain America's shield is painted in red, white, and blue, with a white five-pointed star in the center.
The Soviet Captain, who once impersonated Natasha and Yelena's Father, Red Guardian Alexei, has a shield painted in red and black, with a large red five-pointed star in the center.
As for Captain Peggy from the What If...? series, her shield is painted similarly to Captain America's, also in red, white, and blue, but the center is not a white five-pointed star, but the Union Jack flag.
Since it's a shield prepared for Captain Peggy, the painting on the shield in Samuel's hand naturally needs to be changed. This matter has already been handed over to Reed and will be completed soon.
By the way, it's worth mentioning that Samuel added a helmet and visor to Peggy Carter's uniform, mainly to make it easier for her to move around in other Worlds where there is a 'Peggy Carter'.
For example, the 'Peggy Carter' in the main World is already old and dying. If Captain Peggy were to appear openly, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
There's also the soon-to-wake Steve Rogers. At that time, we can let Captain America and Captain Peggy compete to see who is stronger?
There's also Peggy Carter's 'old opponent', Dottie Underwood. Although the current Captain Peggy probably doesn't know her yet, in her timeline, she was pruned because she killed Peggy Carter.
"Beep beep beep — Beep beep beep —"
The void battle bead showed that Reed had sent a message, presumably the shield painting was done.
Samuel opened a Teleportation portal and directly retrieved the shield through the air.
"Is this for me?" Peggy Carter looked at the shield, her eyes shining a little.
"If you hadn't been pruned, you would have gotten the same original factory item. Now we can only modify Steve Rogers', Captain America's, shield."
"The material is the same, both are made of Proto-Adamantium. Except for here, under normal circumstances, the shield is unique and one-of-a-kind."
Peggy Carter put on the shield and felt it for a moment, nodding with satisfaction: "I want to try it."
"Let's go out!"
The two walked out of the building, and Peggy Carter raised her shield and threw it towards the wall of the building.
With a few thuds, the shield bounced off the wall several times in a way that was very unscientific, even defying the laws of physics, and bounced back into her hand.
"Wow, this feels great!" Peggy Carter excitedly tried again.
Then, she began a fancy performance of bouncing the shield at various angles!
I have to say, when it comes to playing with shields, Samuel is absolutely impressed!
Peggy Carter had probably never used a shield before, but as soon as she got her hands on it, she started showcasing various fancy maneuvers, all sorts of tricks as if it were an innate talent!
"Thud — Thud — Thud —"
The shield bounced off the wall several times and flew towards Samuel.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, reward dropped: Shield Bash Technique (Peggy Carter)"
Well, it really is a special talent. But why didn't the Zombie Captain America from the Zombie Universe drop this ability, even though they are both Captains?
Samuel complained, grabbed the shield flying towards him, and with a flick of his hand, threw it back along the trajectory it had come from.
"Boom--Boom--Boom--"
It bounced back along the original path.
Peggy Carter's eyes lit up, her body spun in place, she caught the shield steadily, and landed in a crouch!
"Now, can I say thank you!"
Peggy Carter attached the shield to the suction cups on the back of her uniform and looked at Samuel with a heroic bearing.
Samuel looked at her and said with a smile, "What I want is not your thank you."
Peggy Carter was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm not bad at dancing."
Samuel extended his hand, making a gesture of invitation.
"Now?"
"Here?"
Peggy Carter didn't expect Samuel to be so impatient, but she didn't refuse. She generously held Samuel's hand and, without music, led him in a graceful dance.
