“It’s been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time. (Time has passed so long, I can't remember how long it has been since I felt the feeling of having you, because time has passed so long.)
As the slow and melodious song played, Steve Rogers gently put his arms around Peggy Carter's waist and held her in his arms.
The force is light, yet heavy.
It was so heavy that Steve Rogers' arms, which were strong enough to pull the helicopter back to the ground, trembled slightly.
The two of them just hugged each other like this, without any dance steps, just swaying gently to the music.
Just like their previous relationship, restrained yet beautiful.
"You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you.
(You don’t know how many times you have appeared in my dreams. Without you, no matter how beautiful the dream is, it is nothing but a reminder that you are gone.)”
Li Chengfeng stood aside, watching the two dancing together, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Time is merciful, and Steve Rogers finally transcends time and dances with his girl.
But time is also ruthless, and from now on, he will lose her forever.
Peggy Carter's final period of revival was ultimately short-lived.
Her body gradually became weaker until she needed to be supported entirely by Steve Rogers.
Steve Rogers knew what was about to happen, but he could only hold his girl tighter, as if he could keep her there a moment longer.
He lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on his lover's forehead.
“So kiss me once then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long long time…
(So... kiss me once, kiss me twice, kiss me again, it's been too long...)"
She closed her eyes...
Never opened it again.
Chapter 168 Li Chengfeng: Why don’t you go say hello to your son?
Peggy Carter's funeral was quickly arranged.
After all, Captain Britain and Nick Fury were the only ones responsible for arranging the entire process, so the efficiency couldn't be low.
Peggy Carter was an outstanding agent who had made great contributions in both countries and was also the first director of the America General Agency. An outrageous number of people came to pay their respects.
Li Chengfeng even served as a driver. He not only opened the portal to pick up all the main members of the X-Men, but also picked up all the elite agents with names and surnames from the America Headquarters.
Batch after batch of people passed through the portal, but Uncle Wolf was nowhere to be found.
Just when Li Chengfeng was about to shock Uncle Wolf with his personal terminal, he found that this usually carefree man was pushing a wheelchair towards him.
Li Chengfeng looked closely and saw the person in the wheelchair...
Isn't that Bucky Barnes?
Because Hydra's hypnotic effects were too strong, all of the captured Winter Soldiers were placed in protective custody.
Baji, the prototype of the Winter Soldier, is naturally among them.
"Logan, has the hypnosis in Bucky's brain been completely eliminated?"
"It was eliminated a few days ago. Except for those who were loyal to Hydra before becoming the Winter Soldier, the other Winter Soldiers were placed in the FBI in their home countries." Uncle Wolf pushed the wheelchair to Li Chengfeng and shrugged. "But Bucky was beaten up a bit by Steve in the last battle, and his legs and feet have not recovered yet."
After saying that, he glanced at Bucky Barnes who was sitting in the wheelchair without saying a word, and then deliberately said in a low voice that the three people present could hear:
"But the main reason is that some people felt ashamed to face Steve Rogers, so they stayed in the nursing home for a few more days. But I didn't expect Peggy to pass away at this time. Even if we are ashamed to face others, we have to see our old friend off for the last time."
Li Chengfeng smiled and nodded.
Although Uncle Wolf looked relaxed, his smile did not reach his eyes, and the depths of his eyes were also shrouded in sadness.
After all, whether it is Uncle Wolf or Baji, they are all members of the Howling Commandos and are Peggy Carter's soldiers.
The death of this leader, colleague, and friend made Bucky Barnes, who had just been brainwashed and whose emotions had not yet fully recovered, feel the same...
sad.
But he was more worried about Steve Rogers.
Not long after returning through time, his beloved died.
"…How's Steve?"
Bucky Barnes was silent for a while, and finally said something.
"It was okay. He danced the last dance with his girl, and she fell asleep forever in his arms... It was a sad and imperfect ending, but... it was good enough."
"That's right, that's right... Peggy has waited too long, it's time to rest." Bucky Barnes nodded thoughtfully, then lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Seeing that Baji had entered his world again, Li Chengfeng nodded to Uncle Wolf without saying much, and then they walked into the portal together.
At the other end of the portal is the famous "Westminster Abbey".
That is Westminster Abbey.
As one of the most prestigious Catholic churches, Westminster Abbey is not only the church used by the royal family of England, but also the burial place of outstanding figures from all fields in England.
And there is no doubt that Peggy Carter is absolutely qualified to be buried here.
The main hall of Westminster Abbey is so huge that even with a series of spaces reserved for funerals, it can easily accommodate all the people coming to attend the funeral.
Li Chengfeng even saw Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, who had just expressed their condolences to Steve Rogers, and then saw Li Chengfeng.
"Lee, have you been okay these past few days? To be honest I'm not very good at attending funerals because they're a little too...sad."
"Thanks to you, it's not bad... I'm glad you didn't come here in your flashy suit."
"Oh, come on. I admit that I am a little unruly and even contemptuous of the world, but I still read people's expressions sometimes." Tony Stark shook his head. Although he was joking with Li Chengfeng, his eyes showed deep sadness. "It's hard to imagine that Aunt Peggy just left like this."
Li Chengfeng looked at Tony Stark with surprise.
Aunt Peggy?
What generation is this?
But when he thought about it carefully…there was nothing wrong with shouting!
His father, Howard Stark, was originally a good friend of Peggy Carter, and later even worked in the same unit.
When Howard Stark was rescued by the Legends, Tony's mother was saved, but she couldn't hold on for long and eventually passed away.
Tony Stark, who was only seventeen years old and whose parents had passed away, encountered great resistance when taking over the family business, even though he was a genius cursed by knowledge.
At that time, Peggy Carter was still the director of the America General Bureau, and she must have taken good care of her old friend's son.
Otherwise, with Tony Stark's personality, would he help the FBI improve the flying aircraft carrier just because Nick Fury and the beautiful agent talked a few words?
It was just the seventeen-year-old kid's expression of gratitude to Aunt Peggy.
"Peggy Carter is indeed a great woman. After my parents passed away, although the Wayne Group was not as complicated as the Stark family, Peggy Carter still helped the Wayne Group a lot in terms of external conditions." Bruce Wayne patted Tony Stark on the shoulder, "So, I signed a 30-year outsourcing partner contract with the American General Administration without hesitation."
"Your family is complicated! Your whole family is complicated!"
Li Chengfeng watched the two top bosses from New York and Gotham reminiscing about the past, and couldn't help but feel deep admiration for Peggy Carter!
After a long time of fussing...
The tradition of raising children was passed down from you!
Suddenly, Li Chengfeng caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, but the figure was wearing a hat and his face could not be seen clearly.
So after waving to Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, Li Chengfeng walked towards the direction where the figure flashed.
Looking around, I found the guy in the hat huddled in the right corner of the church seats.
He was the only one there for the time being.
Li Chengfeng walked over without hesitation and sat at the seat next to him.
After getting closer, Li Chengfeng finally confirmed the identity of this guy.
How should I put it...it's not really surprising.
"Is this your first time attending a friend's funeral?"
"If you mean after the war... yes, this is indeed the first time." The man in the hat shook his head and sighed, "I am still young, but my friends have grown old or even died... So this is how it feels."
"Okay, stop pretending to be so deep."
Li Chengfeng reached out and took off the man's hat, then continued:
"Howard Stark, aren't you going to say hello to your wonderful son?"
Chapter 169 Sarah Lance: Teacher, you guessed it right!
Howard Stark glanced at Tony Stark from a distance.
He was talking to Bruce Wayne.
Then he shook his head and continued:
"I'm already a dead man in history, so I'd better not meet you... Otherwise, the captain will hold a meeting to criticize me again when I return."
"Did you come here specially to discover this time point in history?"
"No, the Legendary Squad happened to be resting during this era. After I got the intelligence, I asked for leave to come and take a look."
Howard Stark deliberately spoke very lightly, but Li Chengfeng knew that this man was probably the second saddest person at the scene.
Second only to Steve Rogers.
after all……
Who made Peggy Carter Howard Stark's real moonlight?
Howard turned his head and saw Li Chengfeng's ambiguous eyes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Agent Lee, I know what you're thinking...but that's Peggy Carter, who can not love her?"
Li Chengfeng nodded and expressed his deep agreement.
That's Peggy Carter, a woman of beauty, elegance, strength and wisdom.
She is definitely a goddess in the army.
I have to say, Steve Rogers eats really well.
"Yeah, who can not love her?"
"…But let me make it clear to you, I did love her when I was young, but my true love is still Maria! Don't tarnish my reputation!"
When Li Chengfeng heard Howard Stark mention his wife, he turned around and asked:
"Howard, tell me the truth, about Maria's matter... don't you want to save the relationship?"
"You're jumping around a little too much..." Howard Stark looked at Li Chengfeng strangely, and finally all his words turned into a sigh, "Alas... How could I not save her? But time is much more resilient than we thought, and the inertia of time is much greater than we thought."
"My repeated rescues could not prevent Maria from dying in the year I left." Howard took the hat back from Li Chengfeng and shook his head. "Later, I realized that Maria just didn't want to stay in the timeline without me."
Seeing that Howard Stark suddenly fell into a self-emo atmosphere, Li Chengfeng lost interest in continuing the conversation.
Since he has formed a legendary team in the future and asked Sarah to recruit Howard Stark, it means that Howard Stark is the person necessary to protect the safety of history.
Although he didn't know why it was necessary, but...
He trusts his future self, 100 percent.
