What if... Steve Rogers (Captain America) returned the infinity stones, but had a problem on the way making him choose to go back to the present right away instead of living his normal happy life next to Peggy Carter?
Riley, a young lady who chang...
When I was coming back home from the disastrous day that I had, I realised I made a huge mistake by giving Peter Parker a chance. I shouldn't even call it a "chance" considering the fact that I have never even liked him.
I guess I just liked the idea of having a date. He never said it was one anyway, so I need to carry on and just pretend it never happened. In fact, nothing actually happened. He didn't like me and that's all I needed to know.
I went to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ the next day hoping I wouldn't have to see Peter again. Shouldn't be hard since he is so busy with college and I never met him in the past five months that I have been in this internship.
The day was going well. No signs of Peter, I finished all the work I had to do, had an ice cream on my break, nothing could possibly ruin this day. When I returned from my break, I finally took some courage to ask my boss, Mr. Coulson, to talk about his adventures with the Avengers.
I wanted to know what outsiders have never heard of and how he is alive again. I'm assuming he wasn't very happy with the death talk. He kept changing the subject but I am glad he did. He asked if I had a favourite Avenger and the whole story about my grandfather and Steve Rogers began.
People have mentioned the bright in my eyes whenever I tell these stories. I won't ever get tired of telling them. My friends at school used to be so annoyed at me for always talking about it. I could tell Coulson was genuinely enjoying them by the huge smile on his face.
"Follow me, there is something I need to show you" He said.

He took me to an amazing room with old Captain America shields, suits and photos. There he was. My grandfather with Steve, Bucky, Peggy and other friends.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had photos that I had never seen before. Tears were inevitably coming down from my eyes. The emotion was impossible to hide. I miss him so much.
"Good times" I heard a male voice saying behind me.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Steve Rogers, the one and only Captain America, was right in front of me, smiling and seeing me shocked with mascara all over my eyes. If he had asked me to join the Avengers, I would've been Captain Panda. How embarrassing.
I tried to clean my face with my shirt's sleeves as fast as I could and tried to speak. It's enough to say "tried" because words wouldn't come out of my mouth.
"That's Riley's grandfather" Coulson said pointing at one of the pictures.
