[It sounds terribly strange to say that out loud, and yet, she did. While no one gives her the credit she knows she deserves, if not for her, they never would have rescued Erskine so he could finish up the formula for Steve, so really, Captain America wouldn't have existed, not without her.]
[Peggy doesn't see much point in lying or hiding this, seeing as Steve's not exactly a well-kept secret, even in the 40's. Besides, she's hardly about to proclaim his real name, so she thinks she's due to be fine.]
Captain America? Have you heard of him?
[She doesn't want to start getting into the details of how she helped to bring him about, seeing as that veers on personal, but she thinks it ought to be fine to be somewhat generic about it.]
He was a soldier, though, others called him a superhero.
[Peggy isn't Steve, no matter how much she tries to look up to him. She has to hope that Rogue had handled the Red Skull in a violent way that gave the man everything he deserved, but then, she could be ruthless and bloodthirsty about someone who took away the man she'd loved.
She watches the way Rogue rises off the ground, eyes a little wider.]
I'm not sure I've ever been 'the' anything other than a pain in my mother's arse, but yes, I'm Peggy Carter.
[And that's not exactly a bad thing. As for the Red Skull? He's alive and headed to a deep, dark SHIELD hole without the telepathic part of Charles' brain. As much as she wanted to murder him, that wouldn't have been right by Xavier.
She lingers in the air, smiling a little at the wonder.]
Let me know if you're feelin' a little bored one night and ah'll take you for a spin.
[Rogue chuckles.] You're a pioneer of your time. Besides, the best of us are pains in asses.
[Peggy is already looking at Rogue like she intends to figure out the first available flight plan and is determined to make it happen. She shouldn't force it to happen right now, though, which is why she's going to agree to a later date, so as not to scare the woman off.]
I've hardly been allowed to pioneer anything, really, but I'm glad to hear that will all change one day.
[She gives Rogue a warm smile, rather appreciative of both the woman's company and her words.]
Well, in that case, I'll keep an eye out for you in the monthly meetings.
[She's teasing, of course, but she can't help it. After all, it's a terribly strange thing to joke about, but she enjoys it. She knows her value and she won't have anyone else telling her otherwise.]
When this is all up and running, perhaps I'll come down here and that's when you can give me a flight.
Well, I thought that perhaps we could add a few dangerous elements, see if I can get the full impact.
[After all, is it really as fun if you're doing it just for fun? Peggy has often thought of being able to fly to escape or pursue the people she's been after.]

So then, are you...?

A super hero?
[She scoffs at the title, but that's absolutely not a denial.]

Steve an' ah work together. Though he's probably not to happy on how ah handled the Red Skull.
[But she was right and that's that.]
We don't like givin' ourselves that moniker to be fair.
[She sweeps her gaze towards the door before lifting herself several inches off the ground.]
Means you must be The Peggy Carter?

I take it that means you're in the club?

Hindsight gives a better perspective sugah.
[What might seem like small, hard fought inches to her mattered the most due to the particular details of said progress forward.]
The pain in the ass club? You bet your britches.

[She's not joking on any of those points, and she grins at the offer to fly as she sets her feet on the ground.]
Darlin' ah don't need this machine to fly you 'round.

Anytime, though.

[Yes Peggy. Things can be fun for the sake of being fun. Though she's right, flying's a nifty trick.]
Ah got you.
