Superman in Marvel: Practicing Devouring Techniques, Unrivaled in the Universe
Chapter 216 Steve feels he understands everything
Looking at Peggy's surprised expression.
Steve couldn't help but recall their last kiss on the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.
At that time, a Hydra transport plane loaded with poison gas bombs was taking off.
He was about to jump onto the landing gear of a plane that was about to pass overhead, embarking on a road that he had no idea would lead him back home.
It was Peggy who suddenly stood up on tiptoe from the back seat of the jeep, hooked her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard, so passionately, as if she wanted to give him all the luck and courage in the world.
At that moment Steve had no doubt that he could save the world.
In fact, he did it.
He stopped Schmidt and crash-landed on the ice with a plane full of poison gas bombs, literally saving the world.
He deserves everyone in the world.
Except for the girl who stood on tiptoe in the jeep and kissed him passionately.
The dance that was promised after the victory of the war spanned half a century.
The beloved girl's hair was already gray, and he just woke up and felt as if he was in another world.
That dance was destined to end in vain.
unless……
Steve placed his right hand in his trouser pocket and gently held the jade bottle through the fabric.
He was impulsive but also hesitant at the moment.
Unlike him, a relic of the old era.
Peggy's life should be very happy.
The low cabinet next to the bed was filled with framed photos of her family.
Although the man did not appear in the photo, it was obvious that she had two children, a boy and a girl, and they looked so happy smiling in the photo.
Steve looked around in a trance, listening to Peggy's stories about the past.
After a long time, he slowly loosened the jade bottle in his pocket.
He smiled obscurely, sat down, and accompanied Peggy by the bed to watch the world outside the window dyed red by the sunset.
"The world is still so beautiful, although compared with seventy years ago, it has many more things that I am not familiar with, even aliens," said Steve.
"Of course it's beautiful, because you saved the world, Steve, but we... messed it up again." Peggy held Steve's hand apologetically.
"No, you didn't." Steve held the old hand in his own. "You built a good SHIELD. No one wanted the Hydra incident to happen."
"Half of the reason I joined the current Avengers is because part of its origin was you." Steve said affectionately.
"Avengers..." Peggy Carter showed a complicated look, "No one knows what will happen in the future. Steve, the world has changed so much. You must be careful."
"Of course, I will." There was both deep affection that was about to overflow and deep sadness in Steve's eyes.
The two chatted a lot together.
Steve expressed his confusion and longing that spanned centuries.
Paige listened quietly, squeezing her big boy's hand from time to time.
"The sun is setting, maybe I should come back next week..."
Steve wanted to say goodbye and leave.
My eyes inadvertently swept across the photo frame on the bedside again.
This time he smiled with relief.
Just about to get up and leave.
But suddenly Peggy Carter started coughing violently.
She was weak due to old age, and when she coughed she could only lean on Steve's shoulder, with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed, looking very painful.
"Peggy!" Steve quickly put Peggy on the bed.
"I'll go get the nurse!"
He turned around and prepared to look for the nursing home nurse.
But before he could rush out of the room.
Peggy's coughing gradually subsided, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "Steve!?"
Steve paused and turned back quickly: "Peggy, I'll be right back...Peggy?"
Peggy Carter leaned against the pillows on the bed, as if she had seen Steve for the first time today, no, for the first time in decades.
Her expression changed from confusion, to careful scrutiny, to disbelief, and finally to surprise and joy.
"You, you're still alive, Steve, you're still alive!" Tears and uncontrollable love instantly jumped out of Peggy's eyes.
Her lips trembled with excitement, her breathing became rapid, and her voice was filled with excited tears: "You are still alive, you, you are back!"
Steve stood at the door blankly, his mind going blank for a moment.
But he soon realized what had happened to Peggy.
"Yes... I'm back, Peggy." He nodded gently, and his anxious expression softened.
But the sadness in his body became more intense, and his eyes were full of pity and heartache for Peggy.
He walked gently to the bed and squatted down, allowing Peggy to pull his hand over and hold it in her arms.
"I knew you wouldn't die, Steve. You're back, and you still owe me a dance."
Peggy's skin was sagging from aging and her eyelids were drooping.
But those cloudy eyes seemed so lively at this moment.
Because the person who appeared before her was the lover she had been waiting for half a century.
"Of course I have to come back. There is a beautiful woman here waiting for me to dance with her." Steve also held Peggy's hand tightly.
He looked at Peggy, his heart beating fast.
It was different from when we first met an hour ago.
When Peggy saw him at that time, she only felt a brief surprise and some unexpected emotions.
That kind of Peggy.
Steve felt that the other party had moved on from their past relationship and had found his own happiness.
But now her emotions were filled with incredible surprise and a love so strong that it was about to burst out.
If before, Peggy gave him the warmth of mutual support.
Now there is a bit more of a hot and youthful feeling.
It was like returning to the moment when they last kissed.
Steve doesn't know why Peggy becomes like this when she has an attack and loses her memory.
But there is no doubt that this is definitely Peggy's most genuine emotional expression.
What other behavior could be more telling than the fact that even after losing his memory, Peggy still remembered what he looked like and was excited about him?
Steve suddenly understood everything.
Peggy must have felt that she was too old and didn't want to ruin his future, so she pretended to have let go of everything.
But in fact, no one was more eager than her to embrace each other warmly again and fulfill the promise that was not fulfilled in time.
Steve tenderly pulled back Peggy's gray hair.
This best girl is still as willful as she was when she was young.
"I'm sorry, Peggy. I know you mean well, but I can't let go of the past. I'm just a soldier who has inexplicably traveled through time. What's the point of being a soldier without a commander?"
"Steve?" Peggy looked even more innocent when she lost her memory than when she was young.
Under that old face, Steve read the interpretation of cuteness.
He took a deep breath and made up his mind.
Peggy has given her whole life to this world and her family, and she has the right to pursue her new life!
Steve pulled the jade bottle Tony gave him from his pocket.
Gently twist the cork.
A sweet and vibrant scent filled the room.
Suddenly, even the withered vines by the windowsill seemed to have turned green.
Peggy stared at the jade bottle, and her eyes, which had become clear due to temporary amnesia, began to fluctuate.
"What... is this?" She felt as if her body was shouting, urging her to drink the contents of the jade bottle quickly.
