Rose Roberts

"Lot of hubbub today, Peg. D.C. line's hot. Love the hat!"

- Rose Roberts

Rose Roberts is one of the phone operators at the New York Bell Company Office, maintaining a cover for the Strategic Scientific Reserve. However, when Daniel Sousa moved to Los Angeles to open a branch of the SSR there, she joined him in the new office.

Phone Operator
Rose Roberts was busy with her work as a phone operator inside the New York Bell Company Office. She noticed Agent Peggy Carter and complimented the hat she was wearing, opening a hidden elevator to let Carter enter the secret Strategic Scientific Reserve office inside the building. Later that day, Carter called Roberts and asked her to redirect all calls to the briefing room, so Carter could assist to a briefing instead of being relegated to a mere secretary.

Mourning
The ladies of the New York Bell Company Office cried openly when they heard of the death of Ray Krzeminski; Roberts told Carter when the agent came to work that morning.

First Defense
Edwin Jarvis entered the New York Bell Company carrying a briefcase; the telephone operators looked at the stranger as he walked toward the door of the office. Roberts asked Jarvis what he wanted. Jarvis asked her to allow him to pass to see Chief Roger Dooley. Roberts feigned ignorance as she reached for her gun under her work station; Jarvis assured her that he knew that this was an office of the Strategic Scientific Reserve. Roberts would not allow Jarvis access until he said that his briefcase had a signed confession from Howard Stark.

Moving to Los Angeles
Roberts was enthusiastic when she learned that Daniel Sousa was leaving New York City to start a branch of the Strategic Scientific Reserve in Los Angeles and was one of the first to request to accompany him. She found the city to her liking, including the fact that it was not humid though the temperature was often high. Sousa gave her the position as receptionist and talent agent to match the front that the place was called a talent agency; Roberts was amazed though that despite the agency not being listed and its marquee being very small, clients and performers constantly entered the establishment. Roberts knew that Sousa had begun to date Violet after his failed relationship with Peggy Carter.

Greeting an Old Friend
Roberts watched as a pair of twins danced before her, hoping to be accepted in the Talent Agency, when Peggy Carter entered; Roberts was jubilant to see her friend and quickly dismissed the twins once their performance ended. Roberts and Carter caught up on how much Roberts liked Los Angeles. Roberts then showed Carter how to enter the hidden SSR branch inside the Talent Agency. When Carter asked evasively about Daniel Sousa, Roberts advised Carter to see him for herself.

Hidden Information
Roberts and Daniel Sousa came to the Talent Agency simultaneously; Roberts questioned him as to why he did not tell Peggy Carter that he was now in a relationship with Violet. Sousa wondered what would happen when the two women met. As they entered, Roberts and Sousa saw the two laughing and conversing. Roberts listened as Violet explained that she came to the Talent Agency to bring Sousa a snack before she went to work and ran into Carter. As the three others talked, Roberts sat at her desk and ate one of the cookies Violet had brought. Once Violet had left, she sarcastically offered Sousa a cookie as well.

As Sousa was leaving the Auerbach Theatrical Agency to go on a date with Violet, Roberts received a phone call; Edwin Jarvis was on the line. Roberts called Sousa "Mr. Auerbach", not to reveal his true identity as there were auditioning clients in the building, and Sousa took the call.
