Peggy nodded slightly when she heard Steve's words, indicating that she remembered everything from beginning to end, with a hint of regret in her voice.
She also hoped to spend her life with her beloved Steve, but that was no longer possible.
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to go back to the past, but I'm still here."
Steve looked at Peggy, who was bursting into tears as she spoke, and comforted her in an incredibly gentle voice.
Sharon closed the door, feeling happy for her aunt.
Although time cannot be turned back, seeing the man she has longed for now, at her advanced age, can be considered as fulfilling a wish.
Steve stayed by Peggy's side, telling her about his longing over the years, until Peggy said she was tired and fell asleep.
Steve tiptoed out of the room, his mind filled with complicated emotions.
He had assumed that Peggy, like Howard, had long since died with the passage of time.
I never imagined I would see the elderly Peggy again and hear her tell me about her regrets and longings over the years.
If he could, Steve would like to make it up to Peggy, but he also knows that time cannot be turned back.
Even if he wanted to make it up to Peggy now by dancing with her, Peggy's body and age wouldn't allow it.
This left Steve feeling utterly powerless.
Chapter 143 You're Too Weak
Steve has been doing what he believes is right since birth.
Therefore, he took action, living up to his identity and his country.
But the price he paid was that the woman he loved would miss him even in her old age.
He was unable to repay the guilt in his heart.
Steve didn't know what else he could do.
Perhaps all he can do is protect S.H.I.E.L.D., which Peggy founded, and dedicate his efforts to continuing to defend his country.
So Steve went outside the villa.
"Steve Rogers, are you leaving?"
Peggy's niece, Sharon Carter, saw Steve come out and asked him a question.
"Hmm, but I'm not in the mood right now."
"So next time I come, I'll tell you again why I'm still alive."
Steve saw Peggy's niece, said a few words, and then left.
If he wants to continue protecting his country and S.H.I.E.L.D., and prevent its demise, he needs to retrain his powers.
Having been frozen under the iceberg for so many years, he had just awakened and was already far too unfamiliar with his own power.
Therefore, Steve chose to go back to training.
If given another opportunity, he would definitely try to make up for what he owed Peggy.
To Steve's surprise, only a few days had passed.
He then met Sharon Carter again.
Because Sharon Carter was someone Nick Fury sent to help him understand modern life.
Knowing that this was specially arranged by Nick Fury left Steve speechless.
However, through Sharon Carter, he was able to learn more about Peggy's situation, so he didn't refuse to suggest replacing her.
In just over a week, Steve gained a better understanding of the situation and changes in modern New York, as well as some of the city's celebrities.
The more Steve learned about Tony, the worse his impression of him became. Because Tony was Howard's son, he felt that what Tony did was wrong.
On that very day, Steve was having coffee at a coffee shop not far from Stark Tower, as he did every day.
Suddenly he saw a golden and red figure flying through the air.
"Hiding in a metal bucket all day long, afraid to see anyone, I think 'Bucket Man' is more suitable than Iron Man."
Steve watched the figure fly by and chuckled.
Given the height difference of several tens of meters, the other party should not have been able to hear it.
Steve saw Tony, who had already flown overhead and was seemingly heading somewhere, suddenly change direction and float directly above Steve.
“I can understand that you’re an old man and don’t understand the charm of technology.”
"But I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to be a frog in a well without even realizing it."
Tony looked down at Steve, his words filled with contempt.
"Since you know who I am?"
Didn't your father teach you what respect is?
Upon hearing these words, Steve's face darkened, and he spoke.
“A guy who tries to act superior to me because of his age doesn’t deserve my respect.”
Tony said coldly upon hearing this.
Am I wrong?
"He hides inside this iron block every day, yet he acts so flamboyantly."
"What, are you afraid people won't know you've made a big iron barrel?"
Steve saw that this guy, who was a generation younger than him and in a sense his nephew, was so ignorant of respect that he directly mocked him.
"You know nothing about me, so don't gloat over your ignorance."
Upon hearing these words, Tony's face darkened, and he said coldly.
"Your reaction is so strong, it seems my words touched a nerve."
"As for getting to know you, that's easy enough, Howard Stark's son, a playboy in New York."
"After creating a large iron barrel, they dared not show themselves in their true form and kept flaunting this external force..."
Steve sensed that Tony was angry, so he spread his hands and started talking.
Before he could finish speaking, Steve felt himself being grabbed and thrown into the air, where he was then flung away.
The incident happened suddenly, but Steve reacted quickly, managed to dissipate the force, and landed on the deserted rooftop.
Immediately, as Steve stood up again in a fighting stance, he saw Tony, wearing Iron Man armor, floating in the air.
"You think that my reliance on the Iron Man armor is borrowing external forces."
"But as far as I know, before you were injected with the super serum, you were just an ordinary person."
"It was only after the injection that you gained superhuman strength, which made you a symbol of an era."
"All my technology comes from my wisdom."
"And your super serum was made by someone else. To put it bluntly, all your power does not come from yourself, but from the wisdom of others."
"What right do you have to say that I rely on external forces?"
Tony floated in the air, looking down at Steve Rogers, and said in a cold voice.
"I risked my life to obtain this power."
"Moreover, physical strength is different from the kind of power you obtain through machinery."
Steve spoke up after hearing Tony's words.
"Originally, I just thought that your weakness was not a problem, because you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the country, which makes you a great hero."
"But now it seems that you are just an arrogant hypocrite who is unaware of your own weakness."
"I have nothing to say to someone like you."
When Tony heard Steve insult his technology and his foolish, oblivious appearance, he suddenly wasn't so angry anymore and said something.
After saying that, Tony immediately flew away.
Steve Rogers isn't even a frog; he's an ant who thinks he's powerful and criticizes others. Why should he bother arguing with an ant?
Steve watched Tony leave, Tony's words still lingering in his mind.
Is he unaware of his own weakness?
He possesses the potential that is beyond the limits of ordinary people.
Possessing superhuman physical strength, being hit by ordinary bullets is at most equivalent to a scratch on an ordinary person, and has superhuman self-healing ability, able to heal itself without the need for drugs.
It also possesses super strength and endurance, and can fight for a whole day without getting tired.
It also has amazing speed and explosive power, capable of running 26 meters per second, and its strength reaches two tons. It can easily wipe out a well-trained squad of dozens of people with its bare hands.
If you bring a shield, you can take on a hundred enemies in no time, and you can charge straight through cannon fire without any pressure.
Although decades have passed, according to his understanding, modern times are too peaceful, and the physical fitness of ordinary people has declined rather than improved.
In this modern society, he is a superhuman. How could Howard's son, Tony, say that he is too weak?
Chapter 144 Tony Picks Up the Hammer
This made Steve really want to confront Tony, but Tony had already left, so he had to swallow his anger for the time being.
He had only recently awakened, his body had not fully recovered, and he had not yet put on his shield.
When they meet again, he will definitely teach Tony a lesson and show him what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young.
Steve then looked around and realized that the floor was a little high, so he decided to take the stairs.
※※※※※※※
Tony made his way home, and his mood had mostly recovered.
Steve Rogers' words made him realize that he didn't need to argue with the other party.
Steve Rogers is from the past, possessing the body of a super soldier, and facing some of the technology of that era.
