Peggy signaled one of her snipers to take a shot and watched the scene unfold with grim satisfaction as one of Potter’s followers, dropped dead when the high-caliber bullet split opened his skull. Usually, Peggy wasn’t a person who would order a hit like that, but after watching the vile boy dismembering a woman, she wasn’t able to stop herself from taking a bit of revenge.
While she wasn’t able to deliver the pain the girl experienced before she finally breathed her last, she was satisfied that she was able to return even a fraction of that pain. “A life for a life” Peggy said coldly, expecting him to scream or threaten her in anger, but much to her disappointment, the boy remained completely silent, but she felt darkly satisfied when she heard the voices in the background.
“Hmm…” Harry Potter hummed thoughtfully from the other side and she held her breath. She wanted to get her men out of the shitshow at any cost and that wasn’t all, there were several other risks involved if she allowed Potter to take them. “How about no?” After a few seconds of silence, Harry finally suggested in a casual tone, and even if Peggy was surprised, she didn’t show it on her face.
Theodore Tonks was not related to him in any form and people like Harry Potter never cared about the well-being of their followers, but his refusal was not the end of the world. She could still twist his arm… “Is that so? Are you sure?” Peggy asked coldly.
“Yeah” Harry answered casually.
“Just so you know, this call is being recorded… I wonder what would happen if the recording finds its way to Nymphadora Tonks? I wonder how she will react if she learns that you allowed her father to die. Maybe, I should send this over to Sirius Black and Andromeda Tonks too…” Peggy wondered in a thoughtful tone. “I hope you are willing to kill everyone close to you” Peggy added.
To be honest, she hated being this cruel to the boy… The whole thing felt completely wrong to her, but at the end of the day, there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do to keep the world safe after everything she did to keep the world safe. After everything, Steve sacrificed to make this world a better place… Everything considered, Potter wasn’t much different from Johann Schmidt.
However, she was taken by surprise when Harry started to chuckle mirthfully…
“I would like to see you try” Harry said in an amused tone after he finally stopped chuckling. Peggy frowned, wondering why the boy was so confident, but she noticed Agent Caulson giving her a pointed look from the corner of her eyes, so she pressed the mute button and turned toward him. She raised her brows at him, urging the man to speak.
The man cleared his throat… “Man, the Delta team has lost Theodore Tonks. They don’t know what happened, but he simply disappeared from the car before they could do anything” The man answered in a grim tone.
“Ffffuuuucccckkkk!!” Rachel cursed loudly as she slammed her fist on the tabletop, making a small dent. “He must have made something like the Dark Mark” The woman elaborated and started to curse like a sailor. They had lost their online leverage and Peggy could only grimace at the revelation. The existence of something like the Dark Mark might seem useful, but it wasn’t worth the steep price they had to pay.
Now, she was certain that Potter wasn’t going to let her men go… It was a massive loss for them…
Now, there were only two paths in front of Peggy. She could either admit their defeat, or she could try to threaten him. Admitting defeat was not an option, at least not at this stage when he could simply sic the ICW on SHIELD or the Royal Mages. If the existence of SHIELD or the Royal Mages were to be revealed then there was a huge chance that a War might break out.
A War they had been trying to avoid for centuries…
If the ICW came to learn that Muggles knew the existence of Magic, they would be out for blood and then there was the MACUSA… If there was anything the ICW ever cared about, it was the Statute and they would do anything to protect it. If that meant they would have to destroy countries and assassinate world leaders, then they would happily do so, which meant, there was only one option in front of her.
Then again, admitting defeat would simply make her and her agency look weak, which would give Harry Potter the carte blanche to act with impunity… That was not something she was going to allow, not something she could allow…
“Hello~, are you there~?” Harry asked in a sing-song voice and after taking a deep breath, Peggy finally unmuted the microphone.
“I am not sure how you did it, but even for a moment, don’t think you have won” Peggy said while gritting her teeth. It was simply impossible to explain how frustrated she was feeling at the moment. “Currently, you have four snipers aimed at you-” Peggy paused and at her signal four of the snipers pointed their lasers inside the room, finding one target each.
“-one word. I only need to say one word and they are going to shoot you down and all of your associates inside the room, so you better listen to-” Peggy wasn’t able to finish her threat before Harry cut her off with a click of his tongue.
“Ah~, Ah~, Ah~... That is not how the game is played. You had your shot, but now it’s my turn” Harry started to speak in a mirthful tone, and from his voice, it was clear that he wasn’t worried in the slightest. “What were you saying? A word… With just a word you could end our lives, right? Why don’t you give that a try?” Harry goaded her in a mocking tone, but Peggy wasn’t willing to let him play ball.
So, the woman simply signaled one of her snipers to take down Katerina Kabal. The sniper pulled the trigger, but much to her shock the bullet stopped right outside the window pane before falling down… Everyone inside the control room could only stare at the screen slack-jawed. Even the sniper who took the shot started to mumble in a disbelieving tone.
“Now that it is clear that you have nothing on me, let's get this over with” For the first time, Harry lost his amused tone and sneered at her. “I don’t know who you are. I don’t know who you work for, but I promise you, when I am done with you, you will be cursing your parents for ever giving birth to you” Harry stated coldly, and everyone inside the room felt chills run down their spines.
“I am going to kill you, then I am going to kill the people you work with, then I am going to kill the people you work for, then I am going to kill your and their neighbors along with their pets and then finally, I am going to kill every single person you ever talked with” Harry finished and the line went dead before Harry and everyone inside the room disappeared…

True and haters are going to hate this, but SHIELD never managed to do anything of worth. Then there is the World Security Council...
Even if all shield should not died, I hope he actually destroy them so bad that they can't get back. I mean almost all is Hydra so even then he has the excuse to kill almost everybody there.

I hope he doesn’t go all murder hobo and shows some mercy but he still needs to teach them a lesson
