There really needs to be some kinda cosmic law against bastards that big being efficient.

[ he knows there's nothing he can say that would help and worse - nothing he can do because he's getting nowhere on trying to figure out the augments and that's something that's stuck in his head - and he hates it. so bad attempt at humor it is. ]

[mucked]

They ought to have been toppled. [ peggy's lips purse. ] As far as I'd known, before coming here, they had been. Thoroughly dismantled, and their top brass dead or detained.

[winn]

Secret evil organizations always come back.

[ the conspiracy theorist in him is vindicated. everything else in him is very sad, because that sucks on just about every level in existence unless you're secretly evil. ]

[mucked]

-- Touché. [ her cheeks puff. she sighs. ] And yet when one fights a whole damned war to take down Nazis, one hopes they stay taken down.

[winn]

It still matters. Every time you take them down matters. It saves a lot of people. A weakened secret organization does a lot less harmed than one controlling the world.

[ he didn't mean to make it sound like he's belittling her life's work, oops. ]

[mucked]

[ -- and yet it sounds precisely like that. peggy steels herself, and swallows her indignation. winn seems so young, though he can't be that much younger than peggy herself. and yet the war made her generation grow up altogether too fast. she's been knee-deep in the intelligence community long enough to have learned what winn now preaches, years prior.

but she has the good grace not to dress him down for his presumption.

instead, she's generous. and she lies with ease: ] You make another good point. [ let him think he's helped her, she decides. she's never needed to hoard accolades for herself. she knows her value. ] Maybe you should consider a career in in tradecraft, hm?

[ a lilting, friendly joke. deflection and redirection. ]

[winn]

[ he doesn't really need to be told he's fucked up anyway, he knows it all by himself. he offers her a small smile in reply. ]

You know I thought about it, but I'm pretty committed to the fulltime business of putting my foot in my mouth. That and - you know - teching.

[mucked]

Plenty of room for the tech-inclined, I'll have you know. [ peggy doesn't know how far the man's fame has spread outside of her corner of time and space, but it's worth mentioning: ] I, for one, work closely with Howard Stark. From time to time. You'll never meet a mind like his. [ ... ] Nor an ego, neither. Except, perhaps, in his son.

[winn]

Is he here?

[ he's always eager to meet the exceptionally minded! ]

[mucked]

Tony is. [ ... ] Howard was, once. He -- in that memory, the man who'd been controlling the Vita-Ray distribution during the procedure? That was Howard.

[winn]

Does Tony take after him in abilities, or is it just the ego?

[ because of giant egos he's had enough. if the mind is really that exceptional, though - he can definitely deal with some annoyance. ]

[mucked]

Both, or so I am assured. I've only seen the ego -- but trustworthy sources have attested to his brilliance.
