Anneliese was just making a coffee in the kitchen when Agent Carter rudely rushed through the doors, Ana had never liked her, she wasn't sure if it was the fact that she encouraged everything that she discouraged for Colleen or the fact that she was who she was. 

"Agent Carter, what on earth are you doing?"

"Colleen has going insane at the meeting, and Steve is no where to help"

"That doesn't sound like Colleen" Ana stopped making her coffee and started walking to Agent Carter.

"She just found out that Sergeant Barnes died"

Those words hit her, that was James, the man she loved so dearly. Instantly over protective mamma bear started, she gestured for Agent Carter to show where the meeting was taking place, unfortunately it meant being in a car with her, again. Staring her car, she asked Agent Carter a question.

"Why bother come get me?"

"Because she asked"

The rest of the trip was silent, the roads was silent and the people on the pathway was silent, it was too silent. Getting out of the car, it stayed silent and she stayed silent. Walking into the shop, that also was silent and the keeper was silent until the shopkeeper saw Agent Carter and opened a door. When it opened it was far from quiet, screaming, crying and yelling. Rushing down the stairs, still in her morning wear of a nighty and hair plaited, she saw Colleen had started going insane, insane like a mad man assassin. 

"Miss Rogers" yelled Ana, Colleen faced her, her eyes blotchy and her lip trembling.

"Stop this nonsense Colleen, its far from expectable and James would agr -"

She didn't finish her sentence when Colleen was at her throat with a knife, when she learnt to use a knife as a weapon was a mystery to Ana. Anneliese knew what she had to do, she could hear someone load a gun, she was not going to let Colleen destroy her life because her hormones were heighten because of the hope of bring peace.

She grabbed the knife off her, quickly chucking it to the floor, Colleen started crying again and started hugging her. She started smoothing her with massaging her head and rubbing her back, the men from the meeting had decided to go into a different room, she heard Howard reject and would join them soon.

"He-he-e's go-ne" she sobbed, "he's really gone, i thought i would live old with him" she continued to sob.

With her own emotions heighten from the vibranium box, curiosty got the better of her.

"What do you mean grow old with James, Colleen" she said as she pulled apart from her.

She showed a ring, a beautiful ring. "he ask-ed, be- before he lef-left."

The thought of Colleen being engaged to a man at such a young age was frightening and beautiful, what made it sad was the possibility of her tying the knot with him was non-existent. Agent Carter took over as she tried to calm her down with talking about how he asked, letting Ana free from the sharp nails, her skin was like vibranium, invincible but her nails acted like the sharpest needles known to humankind.

Walking over to Howard, he just laughed as he saw her in her nighty and with her hair plaited neatly. "Stop laughing and get me a coffee"

She sat in a spare meeting room, awaiting her coffee from Howard. Getting impatient, she got up and went searching for a change of clothes, eventually finding Colleen's collection of clothes she picked the most 'mature' clothes, which was only a white blouse and a tight dark green skirt.

Walking back, she saw Howard walking back into the room. Following him, she snatched the coffee, complaining that it took him so long.

"I just wanted a coffee before i got dressed!"

"They ran out of coffee beans!"

"For what? Howard Stark?"

"Well i only like one type of bean"

"Well i only like coffee before getting dressed"

"That's a lie, you always drink coffee"

"That was not the point"

The conversation stopped when she started drinking the coffee, thinking of the same machine that Howard made, that created the spy and the one she wanted to test.

"Howard, how you found any test subjects for the machine?" she asked.

"Not many people want to stop living for a year and go back to it Ana"

"Can i be the tes-"

"No"

"Why no-"

"Because"

"Its my-"

"I don't want to end up like Colleen!" he said.

"But you won't"

"I don't want to lose you Anneliese!" he said.

"But you won't"

"I don't want to lose you for a year!"

"But its my life!"

"And i am your boss!"

Getting up, she kissed Howard forehead and said a few sarcastic words in german as she started leaving.

"Where are you going?"

"To Stark Industrials Mr. Sir" she said sarcastically, in all intentions to hurt him. He had said that he was her 'boss', he made it clear through the years they spent together that he did not think of Ana as an inferior but as an equal. The statement caught the eye of Colleen and Agent Carter.

"Ana, i don't want you doing this, your worrying me with this machine obsession" he said softly.

"Don't worry sir, this obsession is all gone." 

"i will have my resignation in by the morning" she said, she walked out hearing the yelling of Colleen.

Walking out of the secret base and out of the shop, she found her car still at the front. Driving back to Howard's home and the main Stark Industrials, she parked it at the front, Edwin Jarvis had taken the week off with the flu. The entire building was empty, unlocking the door, she locked it behind her and rushed down the hallway, through the doors and into the work factory, and down the stairs she went to the basement. Ana was more traumatised of wooden crates the basements.

Pulling the sheets off the machine she heard a cackle of laughter.

"Well, well, well. Isn't it funny how our places has swapped."

Anneliese turned around, to see a rather horrid sight.

Chloe Carl was leaning on a pole with a bandaged up eye.
