THREE DAYS LATER

"Steve, I can't help but wonder... What is it that makes you stay here? I've seen just what you feel about the Avengers. I see it every day when you go into the training room and destroy that punching bag."

"I don't know... I mean... I don't hate them... I just..." He sighs as he thinks about how to answer her question, not sure if he should tell her. She's been here for four days and she's Tony's fiancé, he doesn't see why he shouldn't just trust her and let her in on his thoughts. "I just have a hard time keeping up. Catching up with the times and everything... That's just... It's a little difficult, you know?"

"Yeah, I understand..." What he doesn't know is that she was found in the ice a few years back, he doesn't know about it though. There's so much that happened that she can't remember too much of it either but she knows that she's had memories of being around during his time. His real time. She was the woman in the background going to all his shows. Behind the scenes, though she was up front. Center stage. The one he'd be 'saving' every night. She doesn't expect him to remember it though. She doesn't expect him to remember her face or her voice, which obviously he doesn't. Those women were actually the ones that put him up on the charts and put his name in the sky so to speak. Katrina, Marissa and Peggy. Peggy wasn't one of them but she was the one that he'd been in love with.
