Out of Time [Steve Rogers/Captain America Fan Fiction]

Chapter 2: A New Era [Part 1 of 2]

After we were escorted in i sat with nick in the little kitchen i had in my room, he sat there stairing at his cup of coffee i had made him, i walked to the radio and pressed play on a song i knew he loved, 'Three Little Sisters' by The Andrews Sisters. I sat in front of him and he slowly looked up at me after taking a sip of the coffee, "can you explain things to me now...." he said as he looked out of the window. I sighed and bit my lip, "after......you....had..dissapeared..everyone thought you were dead... and they had taken your blood and remade the serum by scratch with howard starks help of course......and instead of using it on another man..they wanted to try it out on women since there were more entering the military after the war.....so...they asked me.....since i was the closest thing you had other than peggy....they had even offered it to her and she refused....so i did it... in your memory....i didn't want the dream to die....with you...and then i noticed that i wasn't aging...everyday i watched as everyone i knew grew old and passed away....the world changed and i was alone....the only people i know know who are children of people we knew was howard's boy anthony......". He looked at me and then down to his coffee, "what about peggy.......is she.....", i shook my head, "i don't know...she just stopped writing me six years ago......".  I saw hurt in his eyes as he looked out the window to distract himself, "what about you...did you ever marry...or...have...-", "no......i haven't......i umm....i haven't dated anyone.....i've been single....i just never wanted to.....i didn't feel right to me........" i said as i rose from my seat. 

"why didn't you.....you had men who would have died for a chance to......" he said as he looked at me, i leaned against the counter and placed a hand over my mouth, "because i haven't really found the right person.....you know....", i hated myself for not saying what i wanted to, but i knew he was hurt and i didn't want to come off as selfish. He stood up slowly and walked to me, "you're telling me you have lived this long....to not have anyone in your life....", i bit my lip and he pointed at me, "you know i know your lying when you do that......spill it...." he said as he stood in front of me, "i loved someone long ago and i still do......". "why didn't you marry him....", i began to cry, "because.....before i could tell him...he walked out of my life and fell for another.....", i walked past him and he stood there taking in what i said. He looked back at me and frowned, "iam sorry......just forget i asked.....but when the time is right...will you tell me.....", i smiled slightly and nodded. "now....." i said as i dried my tears and stood up from the chair, "are you hungry.....", "yes....starving...." he said as he sat at the table. "good.....i was going to make you a big dinner anyway......" i then took out the skillet, a pot and a knife and set up everything. I began to cook and i began to cut the potatoes for the stew, "you need help lillian....", "no i'm fine" i said before cutting my finger, i bit my lip and whispered to myself, "owww..." but it was loud enough for him to hear. He rushed to my side and gentily grabbed my wrist, "may i......" he said as he examined my finger, i nodded and he ran some cold water and cleaned the blood, i stood there blushing, my heart pounding in my ears. "there...."he said, he smiled and noticed my face, he grinned, "you ok...?", i looked at him and blushed harder, "yes iam fine....... GO SIT!" i said as i playfully shoved him out of the kitchen. He laughed and walked out, he sat back down at the table and watched me as i cooked, i smiled and thought to myself as i cooked, 'it's so nice to have him back.......'.
