Summary
Peggy had been the last of them. Now it was just her and Steve against the world, carrying those memories. Being surrounded by her new people helped but also hurt. In a few decades she'd been attending their funerals, planning their memoriam tattoos. Maybe being comforted by another group she'd managed to bond with. And on and on. Until she couldn't do it anymore.
Barnes bumped her knee lightly and she looked over at him, trying to shake off the melancholy. "After the mess with SHIELD, I went back to Russia," he said, quiet enough for the others not to hear. "Amanda came with me. I wanted to find my parents. Two little headstones along a wire fence." He lifted a shoulder. "Cleared the weeds. Left some flowers. We have what we have when we have it."
Across the room, she could see Steve making his way across the room toward them. He settled something inside her and she breathed easier. Whatever happened, whatever long string of losses was ahead of her, she wasn't doing it alone. She had him. And he had her.
