Chapter 218
The old man stood at the door of the room, watching everything happen.
He watched Peggy spin in the young man’s palm.
He watched the two look at each other for a long time after the dance ended, their eyes shining in the dark.
He watched them get close to each other, and then burn with each other.
He knew that young man, and he also knew that young Peggy Carter.
But this, this is not right.
Shouldn’t Steve be sitting by the bed, listening sadly to the old Peggy telling about her past life?
So what about an old Peggy like him?
Could it be that this young man made her younger?
The street lights outside the window lit up at this time.
The dim light came in through the window, and through the gap between Steve and Peggy who were kissing, illuminating the dull face of the old man at the door.
He had the same eyes and facial features as Steve.
Except for the loose skin, bent back, and thinner body due to aging, he was almost another Steve Rogers.
He was very uneasy.
He couldn’t help but take a step.
There was a click.
In the quiet room with only heavy breathing and water sounds, it was particularly clear.
It also allowed Steve and Peggy, who were hugging each other, to finally discover the old man.
They turned their heads as if they had sensed something and saw the old man who was in a daze and wanted to speak but stopped.
“Are you…?” Steve felt that the old man was very familiar.
“Steve!” Peggy exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.
She subconsciously loosened her hands that were tightly holding Steve, took a step back, and even subconsciously pulled the wrinkled hospital gown.
“What’s wrong Peggy?” Steve heard the panic in Peggy’s tone and hurriedly turned back.
But what he saw was Peggy facing the old man at the door with a somewhat unnatural look on her face.
“Wait… He’s also called Steve?” Steve looked at the old man blankly.
After a careful look, he found that the other party looked very similar to him, even the name was the same.
Could it be…
“Are you, Peggy’s husband?” Steve pursed his lips and took a step to the side, away from Peggy.
This man, probably Peggy found a substitute based on his appearance.
Steve felt ashamed.
It was already unfair for the old man to be a substitute.
And now, he was inserted into the lives of Peggy and the old man.
Steve suddenly felt very upset.
He was still too impulsive and forgot everything when he saw Peggy.
Although he could indeed abandon everything for Peggy.
But now he was affecting Peggy’s family.
Just when Steve thought the old man at the door would be furious.
The other person’s face, carved by time, slowly shook his head.
“Let’s find a place to talk, Peggy, and… Steve.” The old man’s voice was filled with endless sighs.
…
In a high-end apartment in Brooklyn.
Leon poured himself a glass of Coke with a smile.
The audio equipment in the living room was playing a song, the Chinese version of “Unreachable Love” that he had just asked Jarvis to create.
The melody of the song was ups and downs and exciting.
It seemed to be playing a love story that could not be loved.
“Oh, Steve’s look just now was like his heart was about to break. Tonight’s love story belongs only to Captain America!”
Lyon sat on the sofa, his eyes looking through the layers of buildings and far away.
Shirley next to him was completing the study task arranged by Natasha. She scratched her head and didn’t understand what her brother was talking about.
…
Half an hour later.
A retro coffee shop on the other side of Brooklyn.
Two men and one woman, one old and two young, sat at a round table at the innermost side of the coffee shop.
They sat opposite each other.
Steve was opposite the old man, and Peggy was between them.
“You mean, you are from the future and another me?”
Steve was incredible about the explanation he just heard.
If the old man opposite was not serious, and Peggy also had an expression of “that’s it”.
He would definitely think it was a joke to warm up the audience.
“So, you traveled back to make up for your regrets, fulfill your promise with Peggy and spend the rest of your life together.”
Steve gradually accepted the crazy reality.
All the strange things before can be explained now.
Why Peggy was so calm when she saw him when they met again.
Why did he have so many more emotions when Peggy’s Alzheimer’s relapsed?
It turned out that there was already a Steve from the future.
It was his future self who replaced him and Peggy for decades.
Steve felt that it was a fantasy, but he was also relieved.
It would be great if it didn’t affect Peggy’s family.
Anyway, it was all him, and it was exciting to think that he could go back to the past and marry Peggy and have children.
“So, I can also travel back to the past in the future, right? How did you do it??” Steve was very curious.
But the old American captain opposite him was silent.
“The situation may not be what you think. I may not be you in the future, but… you from another universe.”
“Excuse me, what did you say?” Steve was confused, “What another universe?”
“Steve, are you sure you want to say it?” Peggy was anxious.
Captain America nodded firmly: “There are some things that I think it is necessary to let the Avengers of this world know. The dangers they have to face may be different from what I have experienced.”
“Wait, Peggy also knows?” Steve felt that he was sitting at the table, but he seemed to be isolated from the two of them.
“Call Tony too, I will tell you everything.” Captain America said seriously.
“Tony, and Tony’s things? “Steve wondered if the other him was the one sent back by Tony.
Ten minutes later.
A golden and red flashy armor landed handsomely on one knee outside the coffee shop.
That was Tony’s new armor.
After landing, he signed for a few minutes amid exclamations, took a few photos, and then walked into the coffee shop.
In front of the round table for three people, he tapped his chest lightly, and the armor faded like the tide and retracted into the reactor on his chest.
“Carter! And Steve!”
Tony greeted before he even approached.
“I’m glad you used that bottle of spring water. Let me guess, are you ready to start the agreed dance now, and let me witness it?”
He sat opposite Carter, between the two Steves.
“Look at how charming Agent Carter is now, but you don’t have to thank me too much.”
Tony waved his hand with a ‘thanks to me’ expression on his face.
“And this one over here, are you Carter’s ‘ex-husband’? Sorry, I understand how you feel now, but you know, sometimes feelings are so unreasonable. ”
Tony reached out and patted Captain America’s shoulder. Captain America looked at him, with a nostalgic look in his sunken eyes: “You are still the same, Tony, but you are much more frivolous now than before that battle.”
“That battle, wait, do we know each other, old buddy?” Tony frowned.
