BARBARA POV
Remember when I said, what could go wrong after Steve got promoted? Well, everything went wrong!
For starters, he's not technically fighting in the war anymore; he's more promoting the war and weapons, entertaining the others while wearing this hideous red, white and blue uniform.
I mean, I can see the man liking the attention he gets. Having the world know who he is brings a smile to his face. But I know him too well; that's not what he wants.
The crowd loves him, there's no denying that, but his most demanding crowd was the soldiers.
"How many of you are ready to help me sock Old Adolf on the jaw?" Steve spoke as he stood alone on a stage, confident. But instead of applause, he receives dead silences.
I stood in the distance of the crowd, watching Steve. These men are a tough crowd.
"Okay...I'm going to need a volunteer," Steve states. A random person in the crowd spoke.
"I already volunteered. How do you think I got here."
The crowd laughs, causing Steve to stiffen. I close my eyes, feeling terrible for Steve right now.
"BRING THE GIRLS BACK!"
"I think they only know the one song, but...I'll...see what I can do..." Steve spoke, now nervously.
"You do that, sweetheart!" Someone said.
"Nice boots, tinker bell!" Hodge yelled. Gosh, he's such a bully. It makes me sick.
"Hey, guys, we're all on the same side-" Steve said.
"Hey, Captain, sign this for me!" Suddenly a random moons him, and everyone starts laughing. Then, another throws a tomato at Steve, and he blocks it with his shield.
A frown formed on my lips as Steve walked off stage. What angered me was that I couldn't do anything about that stupid, rotten crowd.
Eventually, it started to rain. The crowd was gone. I returned to my shared cabin with Peggy to grab an umbrella and went to find Steve.
And eventually, I did, sitting down and talking to Peggy. It's evident to me now that Peggy has a crush on Steve. The two like each other. And it wasn't until Steve's transformation that Peggy started liking him. I can tell she took an interest in him for a very long time.
My eyes suddenly turned, and I saw a platoon of tired soldiers. An ambulance rolls up to the hospital tent, and corpsmen unload the wounded on stretchers.
I turned back to Steve, who glanced from the ambulance to me. I walked towards the two, although I shouldn't have, especially when being the third wheel was the last thing I wanted to do.
