[London.][A cathedral, packed with mourners. A choir is singing. Steve is one of six pallbearers carrying a coffin draped with the Union Jack. His eyes are red--he's been crying.][At the altar, a candle burns by a framed photograph of Peggy Carter in a military uniform. The label reads "Margaret 'Peggy' Carter". The priest addresses the mourners.]

Priest: And now, I would like to invite Sharon Carter to come up and say a few words.[Agent 13, Steve's "neighbor" from DC, steps up to the podium.][Steve sits beside Sam in a pew at the front. Steve is looking down and doesn't see Sharon walk up. Sam is watching, and nudges Steve. He looks up to see Sharon, who glances at Steve and takes a breath.]

"Hey Didn't Steve kiss her?" Antonio murmured to Sam and Bucky
"Yeah.. oh gross" Sam grimaced, Bucky laughed at his face and Antonio had an amused smile

Sharon Carter: Margaret Carter was known to most as a founder of SHIELD . . . but I just knew her as Aunt Peggy.[Steve realizes who exactly Sharon is, and takes a surprised breath.]

Sharon Carter: She had a photograph in her office. Aunt Peggy standing next to JFK. As a kid, that was pretty cool. But it was a lot to live up to. Which is why I never told anyone we were related.[She looks directly at Steve.]

Sharon Carter: I asked her once how she managed to master diplomacy and espionage in a time when no one wanted to see a woman succeed at either. And she said, compromise where you can. But where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move . . . it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in they eye and say " No, you move."[Later, Steve stands alone in the isle, still dressed in black. Natasha to him and he turns to her. He begins to speak without any introduction]

Steve Rogers: When I came out of the ice, I thought everyone I had known was gone. Then I found out that she was alive. I was just lucky to have her.

Natasha Romanoff: She had you back, too.

Steve Rogers: Who else signed?

Natasha Romanoff: Tony. Rhodey. Vision.

Steve Rogers: Clint?

Natasha Romanoff: Says he's retired.[She smiles slightly.]

"I was! And then this happened"
"Honestly the clue of this team" Wanda tells him

Steve Rogers: Wanda? Antonio?

Natasha Romanoff: TBD (To Be Determined). I'm off to Vienna for the signing of the Accords. There's plenty of room on the jet.[Steve sighs and bows his head.]

Natasha Romanoff: Just because it's the path of least resistance doesn't mean it's the wrong path. Staying together is more important than how we stay together.[Natasha almost seems to be convincing herself.]

"You don't seem so convinced yourself" Hermonie point out

Steve Rogers: What are we giving up to do it?[She sighs. He shakes his head, unconvinced.]

Steve Rogers: I'm sorry, Nat. I can't sign it.

Natasha Romanoff: I know.

Steve Rogers: Then what are you doing here?

Natasha Romanoff: I didn't want you to be alone.[She pulls him in for a hug.]

"Are you dating?" Ron asked
Natasha winks at Steve and he blushes remembering when they kissed for a mission
