What? Teammate lives in Arkham Asylum?

Chapter 167 It's been a long long time

Hearing the sound of Li Chengfeng gritting his teeth in his ear, Nick Fury immediately coughed twice.

awkward!

It's really embarrassing!

This would never happen to him normally!

It seems that Peggy Carter's critical illness has affected his normal thinking.

"Oh, you're talking about Psylocke!" Nick Fury shook Captain Britain's hand enthusiastically. "She's one of the best telepaths in the Americas Agency. Of course, it's a pleasure to work with her!"

After covering up this little embarrassment, Nick Fury wanted to say something else.

But the red warning light that had been on all night suddenly turned green, and everyone stood up, whether they were squatting or sitting.

Captain America even rushed directly to the door.

Looking at the doctor who was taking off his gloves, he asked anxiously:

"What happened to Peggy Carter!?"

"Captain, calm down." Coulson stepped forward to stop the somewhat irrational Captain America, "Excuse me, what's the situation now?"

Although this doctor is an ordinary person, he is a veteran who has worked in the FBI for decades and has seen many strange people. So even though there is a big green man standing behind Captain America with red eyes, he remains calm.

He shook his head and said:

"The patient has regained consciousness temporarily after the rescue, but she has lost all will to live. I am powerless to save her..." The doctor shook his head, "Go and see her for the last time... My condolences."

After saying this, he left without any delay.

Steve Rogers forced himself to suppress his heavy breathing, then turned around and said to Melinda May:

"Agent May, just like last time, please accompany me to see Peggy one last time."

"...Yes, Captain."

Melinda May, the woman who never cried even when she was seriously injured and on the verge of death, now has tears in her eyes.

She nodded and walked into the ward side by side with Steve Rogers.

After Li Chengfeng and the two directors looked at each other, the three of them followed Captain America in.

On the bed in the emergency room, the haggard Peggy Carter lay there, her once bright and sharp eyes had long since become cloudy.

But just like before, the place was filled with Captain America, and no one else.

"Hey, handsome man, we meet again."

"...Yes, Peggy, we meet again." Steve Rogers suppressed his sadness and smiled awkwardly, "How do you feel?"

"Puh, cough, cough! You're asking even though you already know the answer. I've officially embarked on another path." Peggy Carter smiled and shook her head. "After I die, please cry for me and completely forget about me, an old woman from the 1920s, okay?"

Although Peggy Carter's voice was extremely weak, her tone was more relaxed than ever before.

It sounded like she was not about to die, but was preparing to go on an outing to a place full of summer flowers.

"No, how could I forget my girl?" Captain America carefully held Peggy Carter's hand, "I still owe her a dance."

"Yes, and that dance..."

Peggy Carter nodded when she heard this, and then she exerted her strength...

He actually sat up.

Although it is still a little weak, it is a hundred times stronger than before.

Li Chengfeng sighed.

This is... a last glimmer of hope.

In other words, Peggy Carter wanted to use the last bit of strength in her life to fulfill the dance invitation she had made decades ago.

Sure enough, Peggy Carter stood up with the help of Melinda May and Steve Rogers, and even moved her hands and feet.

"Come on, Steve Rogers." Peggy Carter gently extended her hand. Although her hair and skin were gray, her elegance was still the same as before. "Will you dance with me?"

"It's my pleasure, sir."

Steve Rogers also realized something, wiped his eyes gently, and took Peggy Carter's hand.

Li Chengfeng silently turned on the green light to transform, and then materialized into an old-fashioned vinyl record player.

The song "It's been a long long time" sounded melodiously. This is the song that Steve played in his home in Captain America 2.

It is also the song that Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter dance to at the end of Avengers 4.

“Kiss me once then kiss me twice

Then kiss me once again.

(Kiss me once, kiss me twice, kiss me again.)"

“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.
