Agent Parker reporting mfor duty!
Good morning, agent. I take it you had a decent rest.
Yes, sir! Mister! Agent! Cap!
Very good. Hope this is a lesson to remind you to get enough rest and to be vigilant.
Y-yes, Cap.
At ease, agent.

Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard. Their shadows searching in the night
Agent Parker?
Streetlight, people. Living just to find emotion.
….Agent-
Hiding somewhere in the nightttttt
-coughs-
OH SHI-
-crash-
Language.
Uh, hello Cap. Didn’t notice you were there. How’s the trip to Austria? Good I hope!
So far it’s going well. Trying to track down a suspected Hydra facility.
Ah, yes. Great work, Cap!
I didn’t expect to hear my guy-in-the-chair to be having a karaoke session.
…..I swear I didn’t know the comms were on! I’m sorry for slacking on the job on my first official day please don’t fire me!
Agent Parker, I don’t mind however you choose to entertain yourself. I understand sitting at a desk can be quite boring.
It’s not boring per se but as a new agent, I was tasked by Agent Hill to read on a beginner’s guidebook on agent work when it’s actually a ‘How To Be A SHIELD Agent For Dummies’ book. Not that I’m complaining, I’m just expressing my discontent with the choice of reading material.
-laughs-
That’s just Agent Hill’s humour. Don’t let it get to you, she does that to every new SHIELD agent.
Oh, that makes sense. Wait, can she hear our conversation? She has level 6 clearance and I just talked about her! I’m doomed! What if she informs Agent Fury of my behavior! Cap, it’s only my first day!
Agent, it’s quite alright. This communication channel is only between you and me. I made sure of that.
Oh, thank god. She’s scary.
I can tell.
Well, again, sorry if I was a bother, Cap. Won’t happen again. I promise.
It’s fine, Agent Parker. I don’t mind a short chat. Stay vigilant.
You got it, Cap!

Cap, do you copy?
This is Agent Parker.
I might have some information about a Hydra facility.
Loud and clear, Agent Parker. Go on.
I’ve been trying to trace any HYDRA-related activities in the vicinity of your area. At first, it seems the area is clear. Then I remembered reading in the news that a factory in Kreischberg that was destroyed in 1945 was rebuilt and reopened a couple of decades ago. Before, it was a HYDRA weapons facility that manufactured drone bombs and advanced cannons. Now it is a factory that develops planes and war vehicles for the army. In 1945, a superbomber plant known as The Valkyrie was developed by a weapon specialist-
Johann Schmidt. Nazi bastard and member of HYDRA.
Precisely. Unsurprisingly, the factory was bought by Gudrun Burwitz. Former name being Himmler. Does the name ring a bell?
Himmler? As in Heinrich Himmler?
Gudrun is Heinrich Himmler’s only daughter. Himmler was part the commanding officer of the SS, Hitler’s guard unit. And he was also the one that recruited Schmidt into the SS. If you put the pieces together, why would the daughter of Heinrich Himmler own a weapons factory?
To hopefully continue what Schmidt started. Send me the coordinates of the factory.
Sent and delivered.
Good work, Agent. Cap out.

Agent Parker, come in.
Agent Parker here! That sounded way more awesome than in my head. Any news, Cap?
What you said was right. The factory was making war vehicles. However, it was only to disguise their main production which was in development. Advanced Parasit bombs.
What? They were making bombs? That’s crazy!
The craziest part? There were blueprints of a highly advanced plane that supposedly was planned to carry the bombs. A prototype Valkyrie.
No way! That’s really...scary. The actual Valkyrie itself was a force to be reckoned with! I can’t imagine what an advanced Valkyrie in this era could do!
Exactly. Gudrun was captured and the factory was shut down. And it was all thanks to you, Agent Parker.
Well, I only did my research. Anyone with a passion in history and reading could have figured it out.
I am passionate on both and even I couldn’t figure it out.
Oh no, sir. I didn’t mean it that way. I mean Cap! You pieced the puzzle together and shut down the operation! So you deserve more recognition.
Credit is given where it is due. And that’s you, Agent Parker. Good work, today.
Th-thank you, Cap.
You deserve a break. I’ll settle everything here while you enjoy the rest of your night. Have a good night, Agent.
You too, sir. I mean Agent! No, Cap! Argh!
