"Peggy?" he said, as if he'd had another wife. "Peggy was ... a force of nature."
His words and his smile were fond. There were so many things he couldn't say about her to anyone who hadn't been part of the SSR and SHIELD, because they just wouldn't make sense and also they were classified.
"She didn't take anything from anyone, but she always made sure she had on nail polish and lipstick and dressed to make sure everyone knew she was a woman. She'd throw a punch to knock a man flat and then in the next second smile like an angel. We worked together, after the war, and the men in our office dismissed us both. Me because of my leg, and her because she was a woman. More fool them, especially in her case."
Daniel liked and appreciated strong women. Some men didn't have room in their lives or their egos for that, but he did and he was glad to.
