Chapter 143 Talking to each other
When Steve heard these words, he felt a little complicated, but looking at the note in his hand, he decided to go see his past lover.
After he became Captain America, he used the super serum to exert extraordinary combat power and stopped some evil people who tried to harm the country and the world.
So he doesn't think he owes his identity as Captain America and his country.
The only person he felt owed was Peggy, who had made a promise but failed to fulfill it.
Immediately, Steve went out and headed to the address recorded on the note.
The biggest advantage of modernization is that there are clear signs at every intersection to let people know where they are.
In just over an hour, after asking for directions nearby, Steve came to a small villa.
"Hello, is Peggy Carter's home here?"
Steve knocked on the door and asked nervously when he saw a young and beautiful woman opening the door.
"Yes, this is my aunt Peggy Carter's home..."
When the woman saw this handsome man with a strong build, she immediately responded to the other person's question.
But after she took a closer look at this man's appearance, her eyes were full of disbelief.
"Are you Steve Rogers?"
She covered her mouth and asked in disbelief.
"I didn't expect you to recognize me."
"Can I go in and see Paige?"
Steve saw the other person's recognition and spoke.
"Hi, I'm Sharon Carter, Peggy Carter's niece."
"Of course I recognize you, because there are photos of you in my aunt's house."
"But aren't you... dead?"
"I didn't mean to offend you, and I didn't mean to wish you dead."
"It's just that there are records about you in books, movies, museums, and even Aunt Peggy saying that you are dead."
After the young and beautiful woman was confirmed, she quickly introduced herself. The disbelief in her heart made it difficult for her to calm down.
"I know you don't mean any offense, but these things are a long story... wait until I see Paige."
"How about we find some time to chat with you slowly?"
Steve felt even more guilty when he heard that there were photos of him in Paige's home, and he spoke.
"Okay, okay, please come in."
"I'll take you to your aunt's room."
Sharon Carter heard these words and said quickly.
Soon, Sharon Carter brought Steve to the door of a room.
"Sharon, aren't you going out to buy groceries?"
The ninety-year-old woman lying on the bed heard the door being opened and made a faint sound.
Originally, Steve thought he was mentally prepared to meet Paige, but as soon as this voice came out, Steve felt fear and guilt in his heart, and he was a little afraid to go in.
"Aunt Peggy, someone's here for you."
Sharon said after hearing this, and then gestured to urge Steve who was standing in front of the door and dared not go in.
"Who else would look for me, an old woman like me?"
When Paige heard her niece's words, a smile appeared on her old and wrinkled face, and she whispered.
Many of my comrades in my youth died in the war. Later, I formed S.H.I.E.L.D. and got to know many people.
But since she retired, almost no one comes to see her.
The person he usually sees the most is his niece Sharon.
"Auntie, he is the person you miss in your dreams."
Sharon heard her aunt's self-deprecating words, looked at Steve who was afraid to go in, and stretched out her hands to push Steve in.
But how could her strength push Steve.
"The person you miss deeply?"
When Peggy Carter heard her niece's words, some thoughts appeared in her eyes, which had long since lost their brightness when she was young and had become cloudy with age.
"Steve Rogers, come in quickly."
Sharon heard her aunt's murmur and said anxiously.
As soon as the name Steve Rogers came out, Peggy Carter's eyes suddenly brightened, and she also had a look of disbelief.
"Is that really you Steve?"
Peggy Carter turned her head to look at the door of the room and saw the tall shadow reflected on the floor. Her voice was full of disbelief and a little expectation.
Although Steve was extremely nervous and guilty, he still stepped into the room after hearing these words.
"Paige."
"I'm very sorry, I came back a little late."
Steve looked at the old woman who was over 90 years old and was so skinny that she could only lie on the bed. His eyes trembled and he shouted.
"Steve..."
When Paige saw the handsome figure who looked exactly the same as in her memory, when she heard the familiar voice, her voice was in disbelief at first.
"Um."
Steve came to Paige's bed and held Paige's hand, nodding in response.
"You're alive...you're back..."
Paige felt the generous palm and looked at Steve, whose appearance had not changed at all, and her voice became choked up.
"Yes, Paige, I'm back."
When Steve saw Paige like this, he felt even more guilty, and responded with a smile on his face.
"You've been gone for too long...it's been too long..."
There were some tears in Paige's eyes, and her voice sounded a little crying and complaining.
"I wouldn't just leave my best girl behind."
"You still owe me a dance."
When Steve heard these words and saw Paige crying, he comforted her in a low voice.
"I still remember that agreement...but no one can go back to the past."
When Paige heard Steve's words, she nodded slightly to express that she still remembered it from beginning to end, with regret in her words.
She also hoped to spend a lifetime with her beloved Steve, but that was no longer possible.
"I'm sorry, maybe I can't go back to the past, but I'm still here."
Steve looked at Paige who was crying as her emotions broke out. His voice was extremely gentle, comforting Paige.
Sharon closed the door, feeling happy for her aunt.
Although time cannot go back in time, now that my aunt is old, meeting the man she has longed for can be regarded as fulfilling her wish.
Steve stayed with Peggy like this, talking about his thoughts over the years, until Peggy said she was tired and fell asleep.
Steve left the room quietly, feeling full of complex emotions.
He originally thought that Peggy, like Howard, would have died long ago due to the passage of time.
I never thought that I would be able to see the old Peggy and listen to Peggy talk about her regrets and longings over the years.
If possible, Steve would like to make it up to Paige, but he also knows that it is impossible to turn back time.
Even if he wanted to make it up to Peggy now and dance with Peggy, Peggy's body and age wouldn't be able to do it.
This made Steve feel helpless.
