Steve couldn't remember the last time he had been this nervous. Not over seeing a friendly face, at least. Time heists and facing Thanos were nerve-wracking in their own way, but this was stress that was tightly woven into his own personal history. The last time Steve had been near Peggy had been at her funeral, and before that was by her hospital bed.. He'd been on his way to see her in the past when the Crown Plaza had intervened, bringing him here instead. After everything that had followed, Steve couldn't help but find the circumstances of Peggy's appearance to be odd. A part of Steve had wondered if the hotel was trying to mess with him. Then again, seeing Peggy wasn't upsetting in the same way that finding the Winter Soldier running around the halls had been. Peggy being here was exciting. It made Steve happy. He just.. wasn't sure how she'd take the news of recent developments in his personal life. Or even just seeing him alive. Either way, he'd show up in the lobby right at the twenty minute mark, hands anxiously shoved into his pockets. And there she was, in the flesh, just as beautiful and alluring as ever. At first, Steve could barely get a word out as he approached Peggy, caught somewhere between ecstatic and terrified. Somewhere in there, the blonde managed a smile. "Hey," he greeted, that grin inching a bit wider, "I'm not sure whether to salute you or give you a hug." It was difficult to tell which was more appropriate so for now, he'd keep his hands in his pocket. "How about that drink?" |
