Chapter 152: Rogers' Glory and Dreams

A quiet nursing home just outside Washington, D.C., one of the best basic nursing homes in Washington. It is surrounded by greenery on all sides, and a small river flows through it.

The red brick and white walls of the house have a beautiful color scheme, which has a refreshing new feeling, and this vibrant color scheme adds a touch of vitality to the otherwise quiet nursing home.

Ever since Steve Rogers woke up from his icy slumber, he's been here a few times a month. Like today, he came here with a bouquet of lilies.

As he walked past the reception, Rogers knocked on the table to signal that he was coming. The young female nurse who had just been scrolling through Twitter heard the voice and immediately looked up, but she only saw a strong back disappearing into the hallway.

Just by looking at the back, the female nurse already knew who was coming. She took out the register and wrote: On November 2, Captain Rogers visited Ms. Peggy Carter.

"If only I hadn't twittered just now, I've been wanting to have a picture with Captain Rodgers. The beautiful young nurse said with a little disappointment. However, she quickly picked herself up, as she was ready to wait intently for Captain Rogers to come out and ask for a group photo.

…………………………

"This pot of bird of paradise is in good bloom, Peggy. You see, how brilliant the colors are. Rogers said to the old man who was over ninety years old in Peggy Carter's room.

He tidied up some of the plants that were beginning to wither, and he filled the empty bottles of the newly purchased lilies.

Peggy Carter's room is warmly furnished, with lots of greenery and flowers that make her room different from the rest of the nursing home. There is no lifelessness of ordinary seniors of this grade, but it is full of vitality.

It's like Peggy Carter. Although her hair was as white as silver frost, and the apple muscles of her full and beautiful cheeks when she was young had collapsed, and wrinkles were all over her face, her eyes were still sharp.

Just like seventy years ago, that shrewd, strong, heroic and strange woman. In that era of machismo, that era of clamoring for women to get out of the field.

Peggy Carter has done a lot of things as a woman that a man can't. As the liaison and logistics officer of the famous Captain America and the Howling Commando, Peggy Carter has helped Rogers through the storm countless times.

In the rear, Peggy Carter uses all the forces at her disposal to positively promote the exploits of Captain Rogers and others at the front.

At a time when the war was at its darkest and the nation's credit and finances were on the verge of bankruptcy, Peggy Carter roamed around. She went around giving speeches with a Captain America sign.

From schools to factories, from churches to market towns. She encouraged everyone not to give up hope and that we would win in the end!

Peggy Carter's beautiful long brown hair, confident smile, and healthy and beautiful face unique to that era fully infected everyone.

It was because of her perseverance that Rogers and his members of the Howling Commandos on the front line also felt empowered.

In the years of losing Rogers, Peggy Carter was also confused for a while, but she quickly got back to her feet. did not give up completely paralyzed because of the loss of the backbone.

Together with Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, she built the prototype of modern-day S.H.I.E.L.D. Peggy Carter is one of the most important veterans of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the founder of the entire department.

She wrote a legend with her life, both during the war years and in the years of peace. Peggy Carter's protests never diminished. Whether it's inside or outside, on the surface or under the dark.

Even though it was inconvenient for her to get up now, her eyes were still so bright, and her eyes were deep and full of wisdom. The spirit reflected in these eyes is unmatched by many young people.

Peggy sat on the bed, her eyes following Captain Rogers' figure.

"Rogers, you don't have to come every month. You still have a lot of things to do, I watched the news. Whether it's the Heavenly Sword Bureau, or the S.H.I.E.L.D. Avengers, they can't do without you. Peggy's voice wasn't loud, in fact, it was hard to speak loudly at her age.

Rogers took care of everything in the room before turning around and sitting down on the chair in front of Peggy's bed, "Actually, there aren't that many things. Because things are endless, but life goes on. ”

"Do you know what my biggest regret in my life is?" Rogers grabbed Peggy's hand and said softly, "My biggest regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to grow old with you." ”

Rogers grabbed Peggy's hand and let her gently stroke her cheek. Just like the night Rogers and Peggy said goodbye seventy years ago.

"Time is always passing fast, and I can't catch it if I want to. There are things that are more important to me. Rogers said with a sigh as he lowered his head, his eyes a little red and didn't want Peggy to see it.

"It's the regret of my life that I didn't grow old with you and let you be so lonely for so many years. ”

Peggy Carter's lips trembled, "Don't do this, don't do this, Rogers." I think it's providential, Rogers. At a time when the world needed you the most, you showed up and saved the world. ”

"Today, the world is in danger again, and you are again. I think it's God's will. The world can live without Peggy Carter, but it can't live without Steve Rogers. ”

Rogers took a deep breath and looked up at Peggy, "Maybe the world can live without Peggy Carter." But Steve Rogers can't live without Peggy Carter, and there won't be Captain America without Peggy. ”

"Remember what you said to me at boot camp seventy years ago?[Never hold back because of your current insignificance, because you never know how strong you will be in the future!]"

"Because of you, I have the courage to fight against the darkness. ”

Rogers' words made Peggy Carter sniffle, but she quickly laughed again. The look in his eyes was as if he had been seventy years ago.

"Can you take me to a dance, Rogers? ”

Love, perhaps, has nothing to do with the years.

In fact, Peggy's physical strength has made it difficult for her to stand up, and her body is aging to a high degree. Because of the high-intensity work in his youth, the pressure accumulated in his later years of life all broke out.

Doctors are also helpless about it, and it is a condition that cannot be reversed. Even Peggy's attending doctor approached Captain Rogers and said that Peggy might not survive this winter.

Now, Peggy is very energetic with Rogers' strong arm and dancing a waltz to the soft music.

Although Rogers was basically borrowing from Peggy to make her body move as little as possible, Peggy still felt extremely tired after a while.

Rogers carried her back to the bed, and Peggy pulled a silver cross necklace from her neck.

"Rogers, it's a shame that I can't be with you on this most important part of your life. But I don't regret it, because I once participated in the magnificent years of a hero. Fight side by side with him and work hard to make this world a better place. ”

"Although after you left, the world did not change for the better as we thought it would be. War and hunger, discrimination and injustice continue to wreak havoc in this world like nightmares. But you're back now. Peggy's eyes stared at Rogers, but her eyes began to drift a little.

"I'm sure you're going to put everything on track. Human beings are selfish and hopelessly stupid a lot of the time. But we still believe that we are saved. I want to see this happen. ”

Peggy handed the silver cross necklace to Rogers' hand, "For our glory and dreams!"

Rogers took Peggy's silver necklace and replied in a firm tone, "For our glory and dreams!"

Peggy Carter smiled and nodded, then closed her eyes tiredly.

A generation of heroines passed away.

…………………………

Peggy's funeral was grand but low-key, with many high-level government officials participating, but the funeral went unannounced. Captain Rogers accompanies Peggy Carter on her final journey as Peggy Carter's coffin bearer.

Rogers is not in a very good mood, and as Peggy Carter's niece and Rogers' personal secretary, Sharon Carter wants to step forward to comfort Captain Rogers.

But Captain Rogers just pulled out a smile and shook his head: "I want to be alone for a while." ”

Standing inside the church, Rogers looked at a large black-and-white photograph of Peggy Carter. The photograph was taken in 1944, while Rogers was still on site.

As the military flower of the time, Peggy Carter in the photo is radiant and charming.

Rogers stared at the picture for a long time, then touched the cross necklace he wore on his chest, and then said to Sharon Carter, who had been watching him from afar, "Let's go." ”

"Where?" asked Sharon, a little puzzled.

"Go to work and save and change the world by the way. I promised her to make this world a better place. Rogers strode along.

Sharloin looked at Captain Rogers, who had recovered his spirits and had a resolute face, and a smile appeared on her face.

…………………………

Inside the Venus base, when Li Jie found Rogers, he was holding this cross necklace in his hand.

Li Jie came to ask about the specific things about the previous terrorist attack in Chile, but looking at Rogers' somewhat distracted appearance, Li Jie couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what are you holding in your hand?"

Rogers came back to his senses and smiled, "Hold my glory and dreams." ”

PS: I very, very, very little like the scene at Peggy's funeral in the movie "Captain America 3", where Captain Rogers turns his head and kisses and exchanges saliva with Agent Sharon.

Although handsome men and beautiful women are the basic bridge of Hollywood movies, the addition of this paragraph is simply inexplicable. These few seconds of footage have seriously damaged the entire positive image of Captain Rodgers that was previously created.

So, at my ex-girlfriend's funeral, I kissed my ex-girlfriend's niece in a wet way?
