A Time Traveler's Soldier

The Team

Peggy looked at New York, wishing she had an extra pair of eyes. Seeing the city from a bird's eye view was incredible. Why was she seeing it from a bird's eye view, you ask? It turns out, Tony, had a suit of armour. That could fly. Peggy was still getting used to the sensation of soaring before a large tower with the word Stark plastered onto it came into view. As Tony set her down, a voice announced over a strange, glassy box, 

"Welcome back, Mr. Stark. Who is this you have with you?"

"Jarvis, this is Peggy. She will be saying here for awhile." Tony replied to the voice.

 Peggy did a double take. That voice, it sounded just like her friend's. And he and the voice even had the same name. This was all way to strange. Perhaps this was all a dream, and any moment she would wake up at her apartment in the Griffin, with Angie calling her down for dinner. But, Peggy was a smart woman, and knew this was to real to be a fantasy. Tony interrupted her thoughts.

"C'mon Peg, it is time to meet the team." He grinned.

 Over the next half hour, she meet everyone.

 "Peggy, this is Bruce Banner. He is a scientist, and a green rage monster." 

Peggy tentatively shook his hand.

"A pleasure to meet you, miss."

 Next, Tony introduced her to four other men. An African American man, named Sam, seemed rather flirtatious, but kind. An archer named Clint waved at her from the ceiling rafters. The last man, or rather God, if you could believe that, called himself Thor, called her 'lady' and was rather... loud, in her opinion.

 Then, Tony showed her a group of girls, one redheaded, one blonde, and one brunette. The redhead was Natasha, a spy with a sense of confidence she could admire. The blonde was Pepper, Tony's girlfriend, as she found out when he kissed her far longer than necessary.  The last woman was a girl named Maria, an agent like herself. Peggy couldn't believe that all these women were being regarded equally to their male counterparts.

 "Hmm," she thought, "I might just like it here." 

Suddenly, Tony pushed her into a room and smiled, muttering about privacy and a popsicle. The door closed behind her. 

"What on earth..." began Peggy, but she never got to finish. Standing before her, with a shocked expression, was a man she loved and thought she had lost a long time ago.

"You're late." Spoke Captain Steve Rogers.
