Title: Post-War
Fandom: Marvel Noir, Peggy Carter, Jessica Jones
Rating: T (mention of mistreatment of Jewish prisoners)
Notes: I'm working on a Marvel Noir Jessica Jones longfic set at the close of WWII and the start of the Cold War. This is a scene from that as-yet-to-be-written fic.

“What do you mean he’s headed to the states?” Jessica said sharply. “He’s Hydra. His rockets were used against London.”

Peggy shrugged. “It can’t be helped. We need von Braun for that technology.”

“He used Jewish prisoners as slave labor, Carter!” Jessica paced to the door and back.

Peggy drew herself up. “We both work for the US government and that requires us to put aside personal feelings, Agent.” She walked around the edge of her desk and sat. “You know that.”

“I guess I’m more loyal to justice than I thought,” Jessica replied. “And I thought you were too.”

Ooh, I like this! I've seen people complaining about Peggy not knowing HYDRA people like Zola were in SHIELD, but personally I can't see how she didn't know, and is certainly ruthless and practical enough to make the exact argument she puts forward here. And of course Jessica goes with her gut.

I think she does know in Agent Carter, IIRC, but that's probably not considered canon anymore. (I can't see how she wouldn't know, either -- Operation Paperclip....)

I really like the movements here, it makes such a short excerpt almost cinematic -- Jessica pacing, and Peggy kind of puffing up and then sitting down and getting somewhat softer: "You know that." It's just a really nice little bit of blocking(?) that tells you about both of them.
