Everyone who has ever meant something to Steve Rogers, is gathered in upstate New York today.
There was no body to bury, But those closest to Anastasia felt giving her a place to go, A gravestone at the last place they saw Steve alive, Might give her some small bit of closure.
She's hardly eaten and barely slept the last four days. Sam, Wanda, And Bucky have taken shifts to make sure she hasn't been alone for even moment.
Leaving Vision and Tony to handle the funeral arrangements for today, They decided to also have a headstone engraved for Natasha to rest beside Steve's.
They rented a fifty foot circular tent to help keep everyone from freezing, The inside of which is equipped with a portable heater in each corner, Given the 32 degree weather and 60% chance of snow for the day.
The path through the woods is lined in white candles, And the tables are elegantly decorated in Steve's signature color blue, And Natasha's Red. Ready for everyone to share a delicious catered meal once the service has finished.
Clint, Bruce, Nick Fury, Tony and Pepper have all come to stand in front of the group, Sharing their favorite memories of both Steve and Natasha.
Wanda and Sam are standing at either side of Anastasia as she stares on at the headstone, Lost in a trance-like state.
All of the groups heartfelt words blending together and fading into white noise in her mind.
She wouldn't be able to tell you one thing anyone has said to her all day.
She can't wrap her head around what's happened, She can't believe the love of her life is just... gone.
Their entire future...
The family they always dreamed of having...
It's all gone.
Bucky approaches the trio slowly, Wanda tries to shake her head in protest but he continues.
Gently he cups Anastasia's chilled skin, Forcing her dazed and bloodshot eyes to meet his.
"Anastasia, Do you want to say a few words?"
Sam rubs her shoulder as he glares up at Bucky, "I told you man, She's not in the right state of mind t-."
"I do want too..." She shocks them all by speaking, even though her voice is barely above a whisper.
