The sun shines on the surface of the Potomac River, reflecting the golden light and making the waves sparkling and beautiful.
A black car drove quietly across the road by the river and parked slowly in front of a Starbucks coffee shop.
After parking the car in the parking space, Bucky and Steve got out of the car and looked around at the scenery.
Bucky pointed to the other side of the river: "Steve, over there, SHIELD headquarters."
This cafe is only separated by a river from SHIELD headquarters. It seems that Peggy did not choose this cafe randomly.
Steve nodded: "After all, I've come back from the dead. It's unbelievable to say it. Peggy is worried, so she should be prepared."
After speaking, Steve inadvertently scanned the crowd and saw many suspicious figures among them.
If nothing else, those are passers-by pretending to be agents.
Bucky also noticed this, but he didn't care. He looked at his watch: "It's 11:50, let's go in, maybe Peggy is already waiting inside."
Steve nodded and walked into the coffee shop with Bucky.
The cafe is very large, with not many seats, making it seem very empty and quiet.
Steve looked over one by one and found no sign of Peggy. She seemed not to have arrived yet.
Steve and Bucky found an empty table and sat down. Steve's seat had an unobstructed view of the door.
The two of them didn't order anything to drink, and waited patiently for 12 o'clock to arrive.
Peggy said she'd see you at 12 o'clock, and Steve didn't think she would break the promise.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and at exactly 12 o'clock, the two people opened the door of Starbucks.
Walking in front was a distinguished and graceful woman who looked quite young. She was none other than Peggy Carter.
Following behind was a smart and capable woman, about thirty years old, who should be Peggy's secretary.
The moment Peggy walked into Starbucks, Steve, who had been paying attention to the door, immediately stood up. Peggy also looked over immediately, and their eyes met across the distance, their eyes burning.
Steve hurried to greet him, and Peggy also walked towards Steve.
Peggy's secretary walked towards the service desk and ordered drinks for several people.
Steve's seat was not far from the door, and within a few steps, Steve and Peggy were already facing each other.
Peggy stared at Steve for a long time, with a smile on her face and red eyes: "Steve, is it really you?"
Steve nodded vigorously: "It's me, Peggy, I'm back."
The two held hands tightly together, feeling the joy of seeing each other again after a long absence.
They looked at each other in silence for a long time. Although the two of them had a lot to say, they didn't know where to start. Everything was left in silence.
Finally, after Peggy's female secretary finished ordering drinks, she came over to remind the two of them, and then they remembered to sit down and talk in detail.
Peggy knew where Steve was sitting, so she subconsciously wanted to sit in the seat opposite Steve, but suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Hi, Peggy."
Peggy immediately turned her head and noticed a powerful man sitting in the corner of the sofa.
"Bucky!?" Peggy was very surprised, just like many years ago when she woke up and found her husband, who was supposed to be dead, sitting next to her bed.
Bucky smiled brightly, and was very satisfied with Peggy's surprised look at this moment: "It's me, Steve and I are here to catch up with you."
In the end, Bucky was sent away by Steve without even saying a few words to Peggy.
Bucky said from the bottom of his heart, "When you have a woman, you forget about your brothers"!
In the end, Bucky could only sit elsewhere with Peggy's secretary and chat.
The coffee was already served by the waiter. Steve took a sip and smiled happily: "Thank you, Peggy, for remembering my favorite coffee taste."
Peggy has been drinking coffee with her husband for decades, so she certainly remembers it right.
However, she would not take the initiative to bring it up, but asked: "Steve, can you tell me what happened back then, and how did you... come back?"
Facing Peggy, Steve would not hide anything. He told everything in detail about what happened after the crash and about his life for a month after he woke up.
After a long time, Steve finished speaking, and Peggy suddenly realized: "It turns out that it was the captain who rescued you!"
Leo's reputation has now spread all over the world, and everyone will call him Captain, which is an honorific title, just like how others called Captain Steve back then.
After Steve finished talking about his affairs, he looked at Peggy: "What about you? How have you lived in the past fifty years? And your current husband, what kind of person is he?"
"He? He is a hero..." Now it was Peggy's turn to say.
The two chatted happily from 12 noon to 3:30 in the afternoon.
Finally, Peggy looked at Steve and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
"One is to accept Leo's request, stay in the Marvel Legion, and work with Bucky in the future; the other is to return to the U.S. Army and continue to serve the country." Steve told the truth and told his two stories.
Two options.
Peggy smiled: "Steve, you are not affiliated with the U.S. military. What you did in the past was for the whole world. I can see that, fifty years later, your purpose has not changed."
Peggy continued, "The United States today cannot represent the whole world. You should have read the history of the past fifty years, so you know exactly what the world pattern is like."
Steve nodded and said nothing. The current American spirit is indeed not the kind of spirit he is familiar with.
Seems a bit selfish.
"If you come back one year earlier, I will recommend that you join SHIELD, which is affiliated with the United Nations, and become the director of SHIELD in the future. This is the position that best suits you."
Peggy said what was in her heart, and then the topic changed.
"But today, I actually recommend that you accept the captain's invitation and join the Marvel Legion.
In the past month or so, Marvel Legion has completely changed the entire world structure and made great progress around the world. If this momentum continues, it can be foreseen that the next ten years will be equal to the hundred years originally expected from the earth's trajectory.
Thousands of years of development.
But to be honest, this change is too fast, and I am a little worried about the final result. After all, I don’t understand the leader and the Marvel Legion organization.
If you are among them, I can feel more at ease. If you can have enough say in the Marvel Legion, it will be the luck of the earth and the people of the earth."
In fact, what Peggy said was actually her husband's idea.
Peggy's wife never mentioned a word about the future and rarely even stepped out of the house. For the first time in decades, he gave his opinion, and Peggy naturally accepted it 100% unconditionally.
Peggy’s wife suggested that Steve join the Marvel Legion, and Peggy would try her best to persuade Steve to join the Marvel Legion.
Peggy's persuasion worked. Steve nodded and made his own decision: "Thank you for believing in me. I will work hard."
Joining Marvel Legion is actually pretty good.
Peggy smiled happily, stood up, and stretched out her hand to Steve.
Steve held her hand for no apparent reason: "What's wrong?"
"You're fifty years late for that dance, do you still want to miss it?" Peggy said with a smile.
"Here? Cafe?" Steve looked around.
Peggy nodded: "It's right here. There is a stage in our hearts. Do we still care about the place?"
The music started, this was classical dance music from fifty years ago.
Steve was almost moved to tears. It turned out that Peggy had arranged all this.
The two held hands and danced on the empty floor specially set aside by Starbucks. The dance from fifty years ago was full of classics and charm.
The agents pretended to be guests and drank coffee by themselves without anyone disturbing them.
Bucky and Peggy's secretary were talking and laughing in low voices. Bucky's body, drained dry by Sienna, started to make moves again after a few years.
At this moment, a man with slightly drooped hips watched Steve and Peggy finally dance as they wished through the surveillance screen, and smiled happily.
