A quiet nursing home in the suburbs of Washington, Washington. This was one of the best basic nursing homes in Washington, DC. There were green plants on all sides, and a small river flowed through it.
The red brick and white walls of the house had a beautiful color scheme, giving off a refreshing feeling. This lively color scheme added a touch of vitality to the originally quiet nursing home.
Ever since Steve Rogers woke up from his ice slumber, he needed to come here a few times a month. Just like today, he came here with a bouquet of lilies.
When he walked past the reception desk, Rogers knocked on the table to signal that he was here. The young female nurse who was just browsing Twitter heard the sound and immediately looked up, but she only saw a strong back disappearing into the corridor.
Just by looking at the back, the female nurse already knew who the person was. She took out the register and wrote: November 2nd, Captain Rogers came to visit Ms. Paige Carter.
"If only I hadn't been browsing Twitter just now. I've always wanted to ask for a photo with Captain Rogers," the young and beautiful female nurse said with a little disappointment. But she quickly perked up because she was ready to wait for Captain Rogers to come out and ask for a photo.
… …
"This pot of bird of paradise is in good bloom, Paige. Look, how gorgeous the color is, "Rogers said to the old woman in her nineties in Paige Carter's room.
He tidied up some of the green plants that were beginning to wither and put the newly bought lilies into empty bottles.
Paige Carter's room was decorated very cozily, and the many green plants and flowers made her room different from the other rooms in the nursing home. She did not have the lifelessness of the average elderly of her age. Instead, she was full of vitality.
Just like Paige Carter. Although her hair was white like frost, the apple cheeks that were full and beautiful when she was young had collapsed, and wrinkles were all over her face, her eyes were still sharp.
Just like that shrewd, valiant, and heroic woman seventy years ago. In that era of male chauvinism, the era when women were clamoring to get out of the battlefield.
As a woman, Paige Carter had done things that many men could not do. As the liaison and logistics officer of the famous Captain America and the Howling Commandos, Peggy Carter had helped Rogers through countless difficulties.
At the rear, Peggy Carter used all the resources she could to publicize the achievements of Captain Rogers and the others.
In the darkest hour of the war, when the credit and finances of the nation were on the verge of collapse, Peggy Carter was on the move. She goes around speaking with a Captain America sign.
From schools to factories, from churches to towns. She encouraged everyone not to give up hope. We will definitely be victorious in the end! Because we have Steve Rogers, Captain America!
Peggy Carter's beautiful brown hair, confident smile, and healthy and beautiful face of that era were enough to infect everyone.
It was precisely because of her perseverance that Rogers and the members of his Howling Commandos at the front line also felt full of energy.
After losing Rogers, Paige Carter fell into a state of confusion, but she quickly stood up. She did not completely give up because she had lost her backbone.
She and Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, built the prototype of modern S.H.E.L.D.. Peggy Carter was one of the most important elders of S.H.E.L.D. and the founder of the entire department.
She used her life to write a legend, whether it was during the war or the peaceful years. Peggy Carter's struggle had never diminished. Whether it was internal or external, on the surface or in the dark.
Even though it was inconvenient for her to get up now, her eyes were still so bright. Her lake-green eyes were deep and full of wisdom. The spirit in those eyes was something that many young people could not compare to.
Peggy lay on the bed, her eyes following the figure of Captain Rogers.
"Rogers, you don't have to come every month. You still have a lot of things to do. I saw the news. Whether it is the Heavenly Sword Bureau or the Avengers of S.H.E.L.D., they cannot do without you. "Peggy's voice was not loud. In fact, at her age, it was difficult for her to speak loudly.
Rogers took care of everything in the room before turning around and sitting on the chair in front of Peggy's bed. "There are actually not that many things to do. Because there are endless things to do, but life has to go on. "
"Do you know what is the most regretful thing in my life?" Rogers held Peggy's hand and said softly, "My most regretful thing is that I did not have the chance to grow old with you."
Rogers held Peggy's hand and let her gently caress his cheek. It was just like the night Rogers bid farewell to Peggy seventy years ago.
"Time always passes quickly. I can't catch it even if I want to. For me, there are things that are more important, "Rogers lowered his head and said with a sigh. His eyes were a little red, and he did not want Peggy to see them.
"I did not grow old with you and let you be so lonely for so long. This is the regret of my life."
Peggy Carter's lips trembled. "Don't be like this, don't be like this, Rogers. I think this is God's will, Rogers. When the world needed you the most, you appeared and saved the world. "
"Today, the world is in danger again, and you appeared again. I think this is 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. Without Peggy, there would be no Captain America. "
"Remember what you said to me in the boot camp seventy years ago? [Never retreat 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's words made Peggy Carter sniffle, but she quickly smiled again. The expression in her eyes was the same as it was seventy years ago.
"Can you take me for a dance, Rogers? The last one, in order to fulfill the promise that has not been fulfilled before you left. "
Love may have nothing to do with age.
In fact, Peggy's physical strength made it difficult for her to stand up. Her body was aging very fast. Because of the high intensity of work in her youth, the pressure accumulated in her later years all broke out.
The doctors could do nothing about it, it was an irreversible situation. Even Peggy's attending doctor went to Captain Rogers and said that Peggy might not survive the winter.
Now, Peggy was holding Rogers's strong arm and waltzing to the soft music.
Although Rogers was basically borrowing Peggy's strength to make her body do as little activity as possible, after a while, Peggy still felt extremely tired.
Rogers carried her back to the bed. Peggy forced herself to take off a silver cross necklace from her neck.
"Rogers, I'm really sorry that I won't be able to accompany you in the most important journey of your life. But I don't regret it, because I participated in the magnificent years of a hero. I fought side by side with him to make this world a better place. "
"Although after you left, the world didn't become a better place as we thought it would. War, hunger, discrimination, and injustice are still like nightmares in this world. But now you're back. "Peggy's lake-green eyes stared at Rogers, but her gaze was a little unfocused.
"I believe that you will put everything on the right track. Humans are selfish and sometimes hopelessly stupid. But we still believe that we can be saved. I want to see it happen. "
Peggy handed the silver cross necklace to Rogers, "For our glory and dreams!"
Rogers took Peggy's silver cross necklace and responded in a firm tone, "For our glory and dreams!"
Peggy Carter smiled and nodded, then closed her eyes tiredly.
A heroine of a generation had passed away.
… …
Peggy's funeral was grand but low-key. Many high-level government officials participated, but the funeral was not reported in the newspapers. Captain Rogers accompanied Peggy Carter on the last leg of her journey as her pallbearer.
Rogers was not in a good mood. As Peggy Carter's niece and Rogers's private secretary, Sharon Carter wanted to comfort Captain Rogers.
But Captain Rogers just smiled and shook his head, "I want to be alone."
Standing in the church, Rogers looked at a large black-and-white photo of Peggy Carter in a daze. The photo was taken in 1944, and Rogers was still there when it was taken.
As a military flower at that time, Peggy Carter in the photo was radiant and charming.
Rogers stared at the photo for a long time, then touched the cross necklace worn on his chest. He said to Sharon Carter, who had been looking at him in the distance, "Let's go."
"Where to?" Sharon asked, puzzled.
"To work, and by the way, to save and change the world. I promised her that I would make the world a better place. "Rogers strode forward.
Sharon looked at Captain Rogers, who had regained his spirit and had a determined look on his face. A smile also appeared on her face.
… …
Inside the Venus base, when Li Jie found Rogers, he was holding the cross necklace in his hand.
Li Jie came to ask about the details of the terrorist attack in Chile, but when he saw Rogers in a daze, Li Jie could not help but ask, "Captain, what are you holding in your hand?"
Rogers came back to his senses and smiled, "Holding my glory and dreams."
PS: I really, really, really dislike the scene at Peggy's funeral in the movie "Captain America 3", where Captain Rogers turned his head and kissed Agent Sharon and exchanged saliva.
Although handsome men and beautiful women were a basic scene in Hollywood movies, the addition of this scene was simply inexplicable. These few seconds of footage seriously damaged the entire positive image of Captain Rogers that had been previously created.
