“You have to be kidding me.” Peggy doesn’t try to hide the sharp disbelief from her voice as she glares at the men who consider themselves her superiors. Honestly she wouldn’t put it past Dooley to go out of his way to make her miserable. Thompson, wearing a smirk on his face, isn’t helping.
“Some of the preliminarily simulations we’ve run suggest you two might be Drift Compatible,” Dooley says. “Will that be a problem, Carter? I thought you wanted to get back in a Jaegar.”
“Yeah, Peg, is there a problem?” The handcuffs rattle as Dottie shifts position, grinning at Peggy.
Peggy looks between her pig-headed chief and the smiling Russian assassin who has tried to kill her more than once. She isn’t sure which sight is more unappealing.
“Sir,” she says to Dooley, “she is a criminal. A known enemy of the country and the Jaegar program.”
“And she just might be the last option we have,” Dooley says flatly.
Thompson’s grin only grows. “What’s the matter, Marge? You don’t think you can handle her?”
Dottie’s smile is wolfish, all sharp teeth and predatory promise. “Oh, I’m sure that won’t be a problem.”
In a way, Peggy feels like she should be grateful to be Compatible with Dottie. She might have finally found someone who can keep up.
