Chapter 53

*

Ice and snow froze his life, and the long river of years did not carry him slowly into the future.

For Steve Rogers, it was just a matter of closing and opening his eyes, and seventy years had passed, and he had not been able to attend the wedding of his former comrades, or the celebration of his children, or the funeral, and everything in between.

Time seemed to be yesterday, Bucky playing the harmonica under the tree, Bailey lying on his lap asleep, he was standing not far away and Peggy planning a new attack, the members of the Roaring Commando Team around him......

Maybe he should sigh and sigh like a dying old man, but he didn't want to see Peggy Carter like this, he wanted her to be happy and not weep because of his presence.

Taking a deep breath, Steve pushed open the door to the safe house.

"Who's coming?"

The hoarse and slow voice was mixed with a little familiarity in the unfamiliar.

Steve saw Peggy Carter lying on the bed, with pale hair and wrinkled face, cloudy eyes, and unresponsiveness like all old people, before slowly looking at him for a while.

“……”

Peggy Carter's mouth opened, her lips a little quivering, her eyes wide open, trying to hold out the wrinkles so that the perspective could be wider.

"Oh my God, am I dreaming, or am I hallucinating again?"

How many midnight dreams did Steve Rogers stand in front of her, big and warm hands around her waist, and they danced to beautiful music, just as he had promised so many years ago, and danced with her.

Perhaps it was the Grim Reaper's pace that was getting faster and faster, and many times, she seemed to be unable to hold on. When she learned that Steve was still alive, she fainted in shock, and when she woke up, she was a little overwhelmed.

The former lover is still young, but she is already a dead tree with exhausted mountains and rivers, and there is no chance to dance that dance again after all.

"Peggy......

Steve saw the wetness in her eyes, and his heart ached, and he couldn't help but throw himself on the side of the bed and hold her hand tremblingly.

"Steve?"

Peggy's voice was tinged with tears, tears blurring her eyes, he had finally come to see her, she had finally waited for him.

"I'm sorry, very, very sorry I didn't come to see you until now."

Steve wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, the ups and downs of her emotions causing her to breathe faster, and his eyes reddened. Regardless, Peggy Carter has a special place in his heart.

After a reunion after too long and too long, sadness overshadows joy, but fortunately, tears can always release human emotions well.

Peggy calms down after crying and chats with Steve for a long time, and in the end, the topic falls on Isbelli.

"She's dangerous, Steve, she's going to kill you, you can't be with her, you can't be soft-hearted and deceived anymore."

Truly, she couldn't afford to lose Steve again, and Isbelli was too dangerous to get rid of.

"Peggy, I know you're all for my good, but I think maybe you misunderstood Bailey."

Steve tried to explain to her, telling her what had happened.

"What about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, will she give up snatching it when she told you?"

After listening to the explanation, Peggy points to the point, but Steve can't answer the question.

For example, the biggest reason why she followed Tony Stark back to California was to use his and Jarvis' abilities to break through the protective shield of S.H.I.E.L.D. and get information about the Universe Rubik's Cube in all the materials.

While Steve and Peggy are catching up, she starts her own project in Malibu to get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
