[Steve takes off on his motorcycle; in the Smithsonian Museum there is an exhibit dedicated to Captain America]
"You have your own exhibit?" Steve nods.
The Smithsonian Narrator: A symbol to the nation. A hero to the world. The story of Captain America is one of honor, bravery and sacrifice.
[Steve, keeping his face hidden under a baseball cap, walks over to the exhibition]
"Like that'll work" said Emerald under her breath "hey you did the same thing" Clint said in a low whisper.
Woman on PA: (faintly) Welcome to the Smithsonian. Visitor information booths are available on the second level.
Smithsonian Narrator: Denied enlistment due to poor health, Steven Rogers was chosen for a program unique in the annals of American warfare. One that would transform him into the world's first super soldier.
[a boy recognizes him, Steve smiles puts his finger against his mouth to indicate for the boy to keep quiet and the boy nods, Steve then watches some old footage of himself]
Old Footage Recording: In this rare footage, everyone's favourite war hero, Captain America...
[Steve goes to the display where there are mannequins with costumes of Steve's old commando squad]
Smithsonian Narrator: Battle tested, Captain America and his Howling Commandos quickly earned their stripes. Their mission, taking down HYDRA, the Nazi rogue science division.
Steve and Bucky are nostalgic seeing that. Ivanna squeezed Bucky's shoulder.
[Steve walks over to a display of his friend Bucky Barnes]
Smithsonian Narrator: Best friends since childhood, Bucky Barnes and Steven Rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield. Barnes is the only Howling Commando to give his life in service of his country.
Steve and Bucky smiled.
[Steve watches an older looking Peggy Carter being interviewed]
Peggy Carter: That was a difficult winter. A blizzard had trapped half our battalion behind the German line. Steve...
Steve smiled.
(Peggy hesitates)
Peggy Carter: Captain Rogers, he fought his way through a HYDRA blockade that had pinned our allies down for months. He saved over a thousand men, including the man who would later become my husband. Even after he died, Steve was still changing my life.
[Steve looks at the photo of Peggy he'd kept in his old compass]
[Steve visits Peggy, who is now lying sick in bed]
Steve Rogers: You should be proud of yourself, Peggy.
[Steve looks at Peggy's family photos by her bedside table showing her with her children]
Peggy Carter: Mm. I have lived a life. My only regret is that you didn't get to live yours.
[Steve looks sad]
People keep silent. Even James and Lily.
Peggy Carter: What is it?
Steve Rogers: For as long as I can remember I just wanted to do what was right. I guess I'm not quite sure what that is anymore. And I thought I could throw myself back in and follow orders, serve. It's just not the same.
