London, England
It was a rainy somber day in London and the world is mourning for all the right reason. Margaret Peggy Carter had just passed away in her sleep at the age of 95. Bucky received a phone call from his cousin Sharon who was currently working for CIA in D.C. about her passing after returning home from 17th century Japan for the weekend. Sara went with him when she heard about it, having met Peggy in 1942 and in the present as a elderly woman. Laurel got the news soon after the call.
Sitting in the middle row dressed in black as the church choir was singing a hymn, Sara and Laurel were watching the pallbearers carry the casket covered in the Union Jack flag with flowers on top down the aisle to the altar. It was a nice touch.
They spotted one of the bearers to be Bucky Barnes, barley keeping the facade together with glistening tears in his eyes. Their hearts sank at the sight of Bucky's usually composed face was being filled with emotions as he went to take his seat between the Lance Sisters. Team Legends were in the attendances too. Martin, Ray, Mick, Hope, Jax, Nate, Beth and Amaya.
"And now, I would like to invite Sharon Carter, to come up and say a few words." The high priest announced.
They turned their attentions to the altar seeing the mentioned Sharon Carter walking up the steps to the altar as she was prepared to give her eulogy.
"Margaret Carter was known to most as one of the greatest female spies of her generation." Sharon began. "But I just knew her as Aunt Peggy. 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."
Bucky smiled as Sharon looked at her cousin acknowledging his presence as she got to the next part of her eulogy. "Which is why I never told anyone we were related. I asked her once how she managed to master diplomacy and espionage at a time when no one wanted to see a woman succeed at either. And she said, compromise when you can. 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."
