it seems there has been a slight miscalculation. you see, nolan is good with words. maths? not so much. so in this equation where he asks for something and the result is it being given to him, he is rather shocked. " ohmygod. " the professor mutters quickly under his breath, hands nearly trembling when they hold the piece. he is so stunned, he looks as though he believes the damn thing will shoot at him by itself. " you really ... sorry, i didn't really think you were actually going to give it to me. " he holds it up delicately, concern creasing his brow. " i don't have a holster. should i put it in my bag? there's a front pocket. it's where i keep my chips. " well, maybe saying he is good with words was going too far.

" i mean, they did put me through the proper shooting range training, but i didn't ... do well. " missed every single shot he fired and was sore for weeks in his shooting arm. " oh. that's kind. thank you, miss c–  sharon. " needless to say, his former assigned agent was nowhere near that nice. " agent landon was, uhm, an acquired taste. " mean old bastard. " you're far from it. acquired, that is. i'm sure you're everybody's cuppa! " he grins for a moment. " not in an offensive way, i just mean –  you're very amicable. i do hope we work together again. " as their make their way down the block, he tugs at the satchel's strap nervously. but still considerably less nervous than he would've been with landon.

"it's a loan. we'll get you yours later, but right now, i can't have you with me without the means to defend yourself." he's obviously a little freaked out by the weapon, which sharon thinks is a good sign. it's not a toy; it has to be handled with care and a healthy amount of apprehension. "you have to keep it somewhere easily accessible. if we're gunned down right now, you won't have time to open your bag and take it out." not without being shot at in the process. sharon decides she's going to kill someone, preferably his old handler. there's no way they threw him to the wolves so woefully unprepared, expecting her to babysit him.

but it's not nolan's fault and right now, he's her responsibility. "strap this to your belt. you at least have a belt, yeah?" she pulls her holster off it's strap ( thank god it's detachable ) and tosses it in his direction. they round the final block and the car comes into view. sharon spares a glance towards the direction they came from and is relieved to see there is no pursuer in sight. "i wouldn't go that far, nolan. but thanks. we'll need to sign you up for some real combat training before the next time rolls around. don't worry, i know a guy." she'll need to have a chat with the director; if they want to keep taking advantage of nolan lombard's genius, they need to increase his likelihood of staying alive. "that's our vehicle," sharon says. "keep your head down and move fast, passenger's side. have you ever ridden a flying car before?"

also, sharon saying "steve, it's fine. you don't gotta be a monk when i'm not around." is genuinely so funny to me. she said captain america should let his freak flag fly.

i think of these panels a not normal amount, mostly because it is a legitimate fear that sharon harbors, not entirely because steve has a lot of "sins" ( i don't think he does, and neither does sharon ) but because of the inherent conflict of interest that she had to grapple with between her ( old ) job and her relationship with steve.

sharon believes in steve so much, has always been firm in her convictions that he is doing the right thing in the best way he knows how. that doesn't always align with the mandate of her job, or the laws she's been taught and obligated to uphold. before the start of the civil war, there was a panel that said sharon was expecting her life in SHIELD to be hell because of her affiliations with steve, and steve's choice to go against the US government.

which is to say, there had certainly been occasions where sharon is faced with certain consequences in large part because of steve's actions. the dialogue above is maliciously phrased, however ( i need these villains to stay out of sharon carter's head!!! ) because this is the MODOC manipulating sharon and tapping into her biggest, most secret fears. i won't say this is a current fear more than it is an old one that really made a mark on her, because it challenged her belief system in a big way.

i also don't think sharon is steve's "sin-eater". it makes it sound as though he's committing atrocities left and right. i think that steve and sharon are a team. and sometimes, teamwork means compromise, and learning to do things a different way than you're used to, and adjusting your approach based on circumstances instead of a black-and-white point of view.

at the end of the day, what sharon did for steve isn't anything steve wouldn't do for sharon, if things were the other way around.

i need more plots / pre-established connections for shar, so this is a dynamics call! if you give this post a 🩷 i will appear in your IMs to discuss possible dynamics between our blorbos. 🤗🌻

nolan was awfully unathletic, to the point where picking up his pace to catch up to his partner ( christ, could he even call her that? he was more the asset she had to drag around, wasn't he? ) makes him suffer from shortness of breath. not a sight to see: wrinkled shirt, satchel swinging over his shoulder, hair disheveled. then comes the politeness so sharp, it nearly bars his speech –  which is ironic, all matters of his profession and usefulness considered. " miss cart –  sorry, should i? thirteen, is it? i'm not quite sure what i should – " he adjusts the satchel's strap lest it chokes him, clears his throat and shoots @statesenemy a dimpled smile. " ma'am. i was merely wondering if i ought to ... " brown eyes fall to where her weapon is hidden, quickly flickering back up. " ought i have one of those? not that i want one, but just as precaution. they did mention the words extremely dangerous in the briefing a couple of times and, well, wouldn't it be safer for me to have one should things go ... awry? "

[statesenemy]

whose idea was it to let loose an untrained agent into the wild? someone's, that's for certain; and whoever they are, sharon's not very impressed with them right now. it's almost painful watching agent lombard trying to keep up; sharon can hear him struggling to breathe a few paces away, face red from the exertion. still, lack of physical training aside, he's not doing too bad ( not a single complaint uttered ever since they took off running, plus the kind of politeness that would get him multiple dinner invitations from fussy mothers down south. )

maybe this is his training, sharon thinks. maybe that's why they partnered him up with her to begin with. after all, experience is the best teacher, and a sure fire way to get some is to be in the midst of action out in the field. it's a tragedy they forgot to give him a gun to go along with it. "here, use this." she frees the glock from her left thigh holster and was just about to throw it at him before thinking better of it and placing it directly onto his hand. "i'm assuming you know how to fire it. but if things did go awry, you slip behind me and let me take care of it."

nolan's not yet combat ready, she's well aware of that. he's also too important to risk getting killed in action, and sharon is prepared to get between him and any possible danger should the need arise. "keep moving, nolan. we're almost there." if her intel is accurate, there should be a getaway car waiting for them approximately two blocks away. "and just so you know, i'm almost certain this wouldn't be the last time we work together, so you might as well start calling me sharon."
