Romanogers One Shots

Find yours

Steve was sat in the Smithsonian, dressed in simple clothing and a blue cap, he sat down and that was when it started, Peggy's interview. 

He listened to it, hearing her voice again, seeing her as he saw her that day before he hit the ice, but something struck him, making him listen, cutting him out of the scroll of memories in his head. 

"If you could tell him something now? If he would be watching this in the future, what would you tell him?" The interviewer asked, 

Peggy looked down with a small smile and gave a tiny laugh before looking back up

"I'd tell him..." she looked down at her hands once more before looking up, you could tell she was thinking, finding the best way to place her words,"I'd tell him to move on, don't look back to the past looking for the answers, look at what is right infront of you, what has been there the whole time. I found my Husband and he found his wife, maybe it's time to find yours"

That was where the recording cut off, "maybe it's time to find yours"

If this had been any other time, maybe he wouldn't have listened but this time...this time he knew that even if he got the chance to go back, it wouldn't be right to undo all what Peggy had done.

"First rule when going on the run, is walk don't run"

"If i run in these shoes, they're going to fall off"

The last place Steve expected to be was on the run from SHIELD, well, HYDRA with Nat. 

"How long do we have?"

"9 minuets from...now" Nat plugged in the hard drive

///

"Me and my fiance are finding are honeymoon destination" Nat smiled over his shoulder to Apple Company worker

"Yeah, we're getting married"

"Where are you planning on going?"

Steve looked behind him in panic,"New Jersey"

"...I have the exact same glasses"

"Wow, you two are practically twins" Nat said behind him sarcastically

///

"Do you know it?"

"I use to, come on"

They headed down the escalator before Nat spotted something or rather someone. 

"Kiss me"

"What?"

"Personal displays of affection make people feel very uncomfortable"

"Yes, they do"

Nat reached up and pulled him in for a kiss, even though both of them would never admit it, they both enjoyed it. 

"Still feel uncomfortable?"

"Not exactly the word i would use"

//

"So where did Captain America learn to steal a car?"

"Nazi Germany, and we're borrowing, feet off the dash" Nat pulled her feet from the dash still looking at him 

"You don't have to answer it, but i feel by you not answering it is sort of answering it you know-"

"What?"

"Was that your first kiss since 1945?"

"No, it was not my first kiss since 1945, i'm 95 i'm not dead"

"Don't know about you, but it's kinda hard to find someone with the same life experience"

"Maybe your looking in the wrong place?" That was when Steve turned to look at her, his mind re playing the clip of Peggy, was? No, no she's just a friend, isn't she? 

Steve quickly turned his eyes back onto the road, focusing on not crashing the car

"What do you want me to be?" She asked him 

"I don't know yet"

////

"Steve we've got a bogie, short range ballistic, 30 seconds tops"

"Who fired?"

"SHIELD" she answered placing the phone down and into her pocket 

"I am afraid i have been stalling Captain" Nat grabbed the hard drive as the German psycho scientist kept talking, Steve opened up the floor vent and as mass destruction came closer, Nat ran towards him, he pulled her under the shield and covered her. 

By the time he woke up again, Nat was out cold, a concrete slab had hit her, but luckily it hadn't killed her maybe knocked her out for an hour or so. 

Steve could hear all of the aircraft coming close, he picked up his shield before carrying Natasha, Steve felt something in him, 

"Nat, please wake up, you can't die on me, not now, not ever"

"Look at what is right infront of you" 

This is what Peggy meant, this is who Peggy meant. 

The woman he was looking for wasn't the Peggy he knew, yes he did love her, but everything had changed, he wasn't that man anymore and never would be.
