It was over two years since Steve Rogers woke up in the twenty-first century and a month since anyone heard from Loki again. Steve was growing bored.

At first, he took to painting and drawing again, but everytime he did, the same subject would appear over and over again: Peggy.

Steve didn't want to think about her. He was confused and Loki just made it worse. When he asked for her file from SHIELD, the agency had been oddly tight-lipped about it. It wouldn't be that difficult to hack into their database, but Steve would rather not use underhanded methods to get what he wanted.

He wasn't sure what it meant if they weren't going to tell him if Peggy was still alive or not, but SHIELD was a secret agency, so maybe they were just that secretive about everyone's files. Or he thought that was why until he asked to see his own file.

"I'm sorry, Captain Rogers, but your file was lost in the Fifties. The last person known to have disappeared shortly after," Agent Coulson told him, handing him the most recent compilation of his file.

Most of it was newsprints, comics, and two years' worth of observations and debriefings. As he scanned through them all, Steve frowned, noticing that certain areas were blacked out. His heart sank when he realized that all of the spots were in reference to a particular person.

"There's no mention of Agent Carter in any of this."

Agent Coulson didn't show any sign of surprise as he took the file from Steve's hands.

"No, there isn't."
