Phoning It In
Date of Scene: 26 July 2022
Location: Zoom Call
Synopsis: Natasha checks in on the very pregnant Peggy.
Cast of Characters: Natasha Romanoff, Peggy Carter




Natasha Romanoff has posed:
It's on Zoom. Natasha is somewhere over at the Triskelion, and is calling up Peggy. Natasha's sitting back relaxed over in casual clothes (by Natasha's definition, at least). And of all things has put in a chime for a social call rather than something work related.

Peggy Carter has posed:
Of course, Peggy assumes it's work. Probably a lot of her wishes that is was work. She hates being on bedrest, but this baby is on the edge of over due, she is technically 100 years old, and cautions are being taken. The moment she was rung up, she did manage to get to her office in the big Westchester house, a little breathless from the scramble but it's more professional looking than her actual bed. "Carter here." She opens, clipped and military, ready to work.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would settle in, "Greetings Peggy, you look like a pumpkin." She would deadpan over. Natasha, actually relaxed while interacting over with someone? Perish the thought. "I thought I'd just drop in and check in adn see how you were doing. I'm sure that your husband is in a merry panic over everything."

Peggy Carter has posed:
A little grunt of a laugh escapes her throat as the other woman says that. She leans back a bit deeper in her chair, running one hand casually down that quite round swell of her stomach, "I feel like a whale, but still no sign of her budging. So... how can I help you? I'm doing fine. Bored. Wish I was in the office."

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would lean back, "I do think that you're best served over by being at home. You could probably handle things in the office but it would be rather udnignified. And what would be worse, every singlew oman in the office coming to you with baby presents and cookies?" She would continue on, "And things have been their usual chaos. Latveria's a black hole, the undead are invading the Scottish lochs. An Avenger is giving tours through parallel realities. There's a psychic parasite going around popping out souls from bodies."

Peggy Carter has posed:
That gets a deeper frown from Peggy, some true discomfort behind her eyes that she's not there to help even more. "We...we've got eyes on all of it, right? I mean, you can send me over the reports, I can start handing down a few more assignments even if I cna't be there in person." Peggy's feeling a little guilty for not having this baby out and being back to work already.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would nod, "Yes, we have personnel assigned ot all cases or liasoning with groups performing so. We're coordinating with other teams as necessary on the matters. Everything is going.. Adequately." She would never say going well. That was just tempting things. "And it's fine. You, Agent Carter, will have enough to keep you going soon enough with the newborn."

Peggy Carter has posed:
"Ah, well...then, I'm glad... everything is going well. I appreciate the report, even though I wish I were there." Peggy gives a slightly awkward smile. She's not always all that good at small talk when it's not about work and she has little to talk about now other than her own impatience.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would grin, "So, do you want the gossip phase of things or would you like me to pepper you with the questions that you dread that will be hte next two years of your life?"

Peggy Carter has posed:
"Uh... I think we can go to gossip and then say polite goodbyes, alright? Unless you have a serious question, I am not one for small talk and unnecessary ones." Peggy gives a little smirk at that.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would laugh, "Oh I'm aware. But you're going to have to deal with it sooner or later. At least with me you can tell me to go quiet and make it an order. But if someone who outranks you does it.. But, no, nothinge lse to go over."

Peggy Carter has posed:
"No one who outranks me ever comes to visit any more. I think I'm pretty safe. But, do give me the gossip before Daniel gives me that glare saying I'm supposed to be in bed." Peggy smirks deeper as she says that, only half joking.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would grin, "Very well. So what is the name going to be depending on if it's a boy or a girl? whom do you think is going to spoil it the most? And whom are you under no chances let get near them?"

Peggy Carter has posed:
A little disapproving huff comes from Peggy, shaking her head, "Nope, nope... if I'm not getting gossip, it is time for me to go. No name, not quite yet. We will get there. But thank you for checking in on me, Natasha. It was very sweet." Peggy starts sitting up straighter, moving to shut down the call.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanoff would give a wave, "Take care Peggy. Don't worry, we have things in hand for you to get back and put back together soon enough. I'm sure the gossip train will keep us updated on you." She's going to shut down the link.
