Chapter 713 Rogers' Glory and Dream

A quiet nursing home on the outskirts of Washington, which is one of the best basic nursing homes in Washington. There are green plants surrounded on all sides, and a small river that is not rushing flows through it.

The house with red bricks and white walls has a beautiful color scheme, and it has a refreshing feeling. This lively color scheme adds a little vitality to the originally quiet nursing home.

Ever since Steve Rogers awoke from his freezing slumber, he's had to come here a few times a month. Like today, he came here with a bouquet of lilies.

As he walked past the receptionist, Rogers tapped on the table to signal his arrival. The young female nurse who was checking Twitter just now raised her head when she heard the voice, but she only saw a strong figure disappearing into the corridor.

Just by looking at the back of the female nurse, she already knew who it was. She took out the register and wrote: On the second of November, Captain Rogers visited to see Ms. Peggy Carter.

"If only I hadn't checked Twitter just now, I've been wanting to take a photo with Captain Rogers." The young and beautiful female nurse said a little disappointed. But she cheered up quickly, because she was going to concentrate on waiting for Captain Rogers to come out and ask for a group photo.

………………………

"This bird of paradise blooms well, Peggy. Look, it's so colorful." Rogers said to the old man who was over ninety in Peggy Carter's room.

While tidying up some green plants that were beginning to wither, he packed new lilies into empty bottles.

Peggy Carter's room is decorated very warmly, and the many green plants and flowers make her room different from other rooms in the nursing home. There is no lifelessness of ordinary old people of this grade, but full of vitality.

Like Peggy Carter. Although her hair is as white as silver frost, and the apple muscles of her cheeks that were plump and beautiful when she was young have collapsed, and wrinkles are all over her face, her eyes are still sharp.

Just like that shrewd, powerful, and heroic woman seventy years ago. In the era when machismo was prevalent, the era where women were clamored to get out of the battlefield.

Peggy Carter was able to do things as a woman that many men couldn't. As the liaison officer and logistics officer of the famous Captain America and Howling Commandos, Peggy Carter helped Rogers tide over difficulties countless times.

In the rear, Peggy Carter used all available forces to promote the achievements of Captain Rogers and others in the front.

In the darkest moment of the war, when the country's credit and finances were on the verge of bankruptcy, Peggy Carter wandered around. She goes around giving speeches with a Captain America badge.

From schools to factories, from churches to market towns. She encouraged everyone not to give up hope, we will definitely win the final victory! Because we have Steve Rogers, Captain America!

Peggy Carter's beautiful long brown hair, confident smile, and healthy and beautiful face unique to that era fully infected everyone.

Because of her perseverance, Rogers and his Howling Commandos on the front lines felt empowered.

In the era of losing Rogers, Peggy Carter also fell into confusion for a while, but she stood up quickly again. He didn't give up completely because he lost his backbone.

She and Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, built the prototype of the modern S.H.I.E.L.D. Peggy Carter is one of the most important veterans of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the founder of the entire department.

She wrote a legend with her whole life, no matter in the war years or in the peaceful years. Peggy Carter's struggles never abated. Whether it's inside or outside, bright or dark.

Even though it is inconvenient for her to get up now, her eyes are still so bright, the lake green eyes are deep and full of wisdom. The spirit that shines out of these eyes is unmatched by many young people.

Peggy was lying on the bed, her eyes following the figure of Captain Rogers.

"Rodgers, you don't actually have to come every month. You still have a lot to do, I read the news. Whether it's Tianjian Bureau or S.H.I.E.L.D. Avengers, they can't do without you." Peggy said The voice is not loud, in fact, it is difficult to speak loudly at her grade.

Rogers turned around after dealing with everything in the room, and sat down on the chair in front of Peggy's bed: "Actually, there are not so many things. Because things are endless, but life must go on. "

"Do you know what the most regrettable thing in my life is?" Rogers said softly while holding Peggy's hand, "The thing I regret most is not having the opportunity to grow old with you."

Rogers grabbed Peggy's hand and let her stroke his cheek gently. Just like the night Rogers and Paige said goodbye seventy years ago.

"Time is always passing by quickly, and I can't grasp it even if I want to. Some things are more important to me." Rogers lowered his head and said with a sigh, his eyes were a little red and he didn't want Peggy to see it.

"It is a regret in my life that I didn't grow old with you and let you be so lonely for such a long time."

Peggy Carter's lips trembled: "Don't do this, don't do this, Rogers. I think this is God's will, Rogers. When the world needed you most, you appeared and saved the world."

"Today, the world is in danger again, and you are here again. I think this is God's will. This world can live without Peggy Carter, but it cannot live without Steve Rogers."

Rogers took a deep breath and looked up at Peggy: "Maybe the world can live without Peggy Carter. But Steve Rogers cannot live without Peggy Carter, and without Peggy there will be no Captain America."

"Do you still remember what you said to me in the boot camp seventy years ago? [Never shrink from your current insignificance, because you never know how powerful you will be in the future!]"

"Because of you, I have the courage to fight against the darkness."

Peggy Carter sniffed at Rogers' words, but she quickly laughed again. The look in and out of his eyes is like that of seventy years ago.

"Would you take me to a dance, Rogers? One last, to keep a promise you didn't keep until you left."

Love may not have anything to do with age.

In fact, Peggy's physical strength has made it difficult for her to stand up, and her body is aging to a high degree. The pressure accumulated due to the high-intensity work in the youth all broke out in the later years of life.

There's nothing doctors can do about it either, it's a condition that cannot be reversed. Even Paige's attending doctor approached Captain Rogers and said that Paige might not survive this winter.

Now, Peggy held Rogers' strong arm very energetically, and waltzed to soft music.

Although Rogers was basically lending strength to Peggy to keep her body as little as possible, Peggy still felt extremely tired after a while.

Rogers carried her back to the bed, and Peggy took off a silver cross necklace from her neck with great energy.

"Rodgers, I'm really sorry, maybe I can't accompany you on this most important journey in your life. But I don't regret it, because I have participated in a hero's magnificent years. Fighting side by side with him, in order to let The world is a better place to work on."

"Although the world has not become as beautiful as we thought after you left. War and hunger, discrimination and injustice are still making waves in this world like nightmares. But you are back now." Peggy Lake Water Green His eyes were fixed on Rogers, but his eyes began to be a little slack.

"I'm sure you'll set everything right. Human beings are hopelessly selfish and stupid a lot of the time. But we still believe that we can be saved. I want to see it happen."

Peggy handed the silver cross necklace to Rogers: "For our glory and dreams!"

Rogers took Peggy's silver necklace cross and responded in a firm tone: "For our glory and dreams!"

Peggy Carter nodded with a smile, then closed her eyes wearily.

A generation of heroines passed away forever.

………………………

Peggy's funeral was very grand but very low-key. Many high-level government officials participated, but the funeral did not appear in the newspapers. Captain Rogers accompanied Peggy Carter on her final journey as her pallbearer.

Rogers was not in a good mood. As Peggy Carter's niece and Rogers' private secretary, Sharon Carter wanted to step forward to comfort Captain Rogers.

But Captain Rogers just smiled and shook his head: "I want to be alone."

Standing in the church, Rogers was fascinated by the large black and white photos of Peggy Carter. The photo was taken in 1944, when Rogers was still on site.

As a military beauty at the time, Peggy Carter in the photo was radiant and charming.

Rogers stared at the photo for a long time, then touched the cross necklace on his chest, and said to Sharon Carter, who had been watching him from a distance: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Sharon asked a little puzzled.

"Go to work, and save and change the world by the way. I promised her to make the world a better place." Rogers strode forward.

Sharon looked at the recovered Captain Rogers with a firm face, and a smile appeared on her face.

………………………

In the Venus base, when Li Jie found Rogers, he was holding the cross necklace in his hand.

Li Jie came to inquire about the specifics of the previous terrorist attack in Chile, but seeing Rogers looking a little dazed, Li Jie couldn't help asking: "Captain, what are you holding in your hand?"

Rogers came back to his senses and smiled: "Hold my glory and dreams."

PS: I really, really dislike the scene where Captain Rogers kisses and exchanges saliva with Agent Sharon at Peggy's funeral in the movie "Captain America 3".

Although handsome men and beautiful women are the basic plots of Hollywood movies, the addition of this segment is simply inexplicable. These few seconds of footage severely damaged the entire positive image of Captain Rogers that had been created before.

So, French-kissing your ex-girlfriend's niece at your ex-girlfriend's funeral? Anyway, I don't know how to write such bridges.
